Hell was a strange place.

A place spoke to be sinful and chaotic, demons running around killing each other, souls being tortured for their past sins for millennia was just a fancy mansion that accounted for infinite space.

Valor comes to this realization when he steps into a hall where the floor, ceiling, and walls are made of marble, pillars of gold decorating the sides, and torches dangling from black chains. It was beautiful. "The church fucking lied to me..." Valor cursed at such lies he was told. Now curious at what else was different from what he was told, he began to cautiously walk down the decorated hall. After 10 minutes, he eventually made it to a black door lined with gold trims. "This makes the church look like a damn peasants house..."

You are damn right! This place looks like heaven!

Guess the church even has propaganda, quite fun~

"Where have you guys been!"

Have you become delusional again? We just arrived here!

I suppose you can say after we died, we were awoken again!

"Existence just gets greater..." Valor sighed, opening the door of hell that revealed a path of opportunity, a room fitted for dining, its table glittered with gold and jewelry, the value of unknown sense.

"Ah~ Valor, you have finally arrived!" An echo stretched across the room, presenting a figure. It was the king of sin, Lucifer. He was tall and had skin hinted with blue, four horns that extruded around his head. He wore no regular clothing, only shackles around his arms, legs, horns, neck, and pants that had been worn torn to long stretches of cloth, boots of cold metal protected his feet. Jewelry decorated his body, his skin glowed like a glistening ocean under the sunset, yet his eyes were like black endless voids.

"Ah, too loud...!" Valor covered his ears, annoyed at Lucifer.

"Oh quit yapping! I can say whatever I can in my realm!" Lucifer shut Valor up. "Now how about you take a seat~" A command Valor was reluctant about.

"So what does the exiled prince of heaven want from... me?" Confusion stained the situation because what would Lucifer want from a mortal? Sure, he wasn't in the best situation as he was banished from the kingdom of heaven to rule the realm that everyone calls hell. It was a great time having to rule a place full of disobedient demons, and 6 devils of sins who couldn't even remember who had to deal with all of their problems every time they pissed off God.

"Tell me, Valor. How much do you know of this world and its mystical powers!" The king curiously asked.

"Hmm, there is magic. The ability to produce elements and control aspects of reality as long as you have mana. Then there's Aura where you imbue your body in energy. If you get proficient enough with it you can unlock Chakra and Ki too. Additionally, there is Mystic arts, giving you the ability to manipulate your soul, body, mind, and manipulate them to extraordinary levels, especially if something shares their powers with you. Now the least common one is Psychic. Having it means, you can manipulate reality, see the future, warp around places, and so on..."

"A bit of an underexplanation, but I will take it for now!" Lucifer was dissatisfied, but couldn't be bothered at this point. "Since you know the basics, I think I can begin explaining why I want you here!"

Thank god! It was getting so boring!

"Michael I think it would be better if you stay a bit quiet while the adults are talking" Lucifer is annoyed by Michael.
