The Devil's Helluva Life

Prologue

Pride Ring 

Somewhere in the Pride Ring, we see Imp City, the second large city in Hell but far away from the main one, and avoid some trouble to come. Mainly the one that happens once a year by those damn pigeons. 

Now those pigeons are starting to target more than just Sinners and getting out of line of late as one report from last year stated they almost attacked near one of the Ars Goteia. Like very close and has some problems there. But anyway. 

The story starts with a young man with pale skin and demonic features such as pure red slit eyes & a long black tail. He had black hair that was a good length, being a little rough up due to the workout session and sweat was building up. He had a good build for his age, not too bulky but good for taking hits before dishing them out and speed. His attire was a black sleeves shirt, grey pants, and running shoes. 

This was Akuma Morningstar, yes you heard right. He was a rare case while being the Prince of Pride and All of Hell, being adopted after being found after escaping a neglected and harsh life. He was grateful and happy with the life he had in Hell. 

Akuma took a deep breath in and out, finishing his weight training before putting it back down and drinking some water from a bottle nearby to freshen up. He plans on taking a quick shower and later wandering around Imp City before returning to the Morningstar Castle (mixed mansion) for the rest of the evening. Or maybe do something else as home felt a bit empty of late ever since his mother - Lilith had gone on this 'mission' for almost seven years. Not even answering phone calls from her children or her husband. 

"Now, I know mom and dad didn't separate in the sense of normal humans but mom would call," Akuma thought with a sad frown but controlled himself and did not cry as he already did a few years ago. 

The Prince knows his mother would be fine and would make her proud to show what she knows what's in him, great things to do in Hell and it's people in the rings than just Pride. That made him smile before his thoughts were cut off as his phone rang with a certain ringtone that let him know who was calling. 

The caller ID showed to be Charlie - Big Sister was calling, surprising Akuma but quickly brought his red phone out and pushed the button on the screen to answer. 

"Hello, Charlie, how's it going?" Akuma asked in greeting to his adopted older sister. 

"...Okay I guess...," Charlie replied, sounding a bit down and sad it seemed to the black-haired teen's surprise. 

"What's wrong?" Akuma asked in concern. 

Charlie sighed and began to tell her little brother all that happened from the fist fight with the reporter down to her musical number & Demons laughing at her idea/dream to stop losing demons every year. Akuma was told about this idea - the hotel to redeem sinners and support of, seeing as one of the steps toward his dream of Hell without Heaven's light to control it. 

"Charlie, keep your chin up. Rome wasn't built in one day. Neither your hotel would, there's a lot of struggles to come but your dream will drive you eventually if you keep your white and kindness to our truest form," Akuma said with kindness and could hear his sister sniff a little to hold back her tears.

"You're right...thank you, Akuma," Charlie said, which was easy to tell she was smiling on her end and happy to have support from her little brother. 

"You're welcome, Charlie. I'll come by to visit tomorrow and we start on building down with other things together," Akuma informed while the corner of his eye got something but didn't give much focus on it now. 

"Sure! I got to go, someone's at the door. I love you, little brother," Charlie said, hearing someone knocking at the hotel's main door. 

"Of course! I love you too, big sister," Akuma smirked with a nod and didn't know whoever was at the hotel was going to change things to an interesting tone.
