One Helluva Time

Rise To The Top

December, 1983

It's been a while since Y/n had first arrived down in Hell. And to say that it's a lot different than he thought it would be was an understatement. Most people would think Hell is all lakes of fire, screams of the damned and such. But it's actually made up of various cities and towns just like up on Earth. Though there are some similarities, there's also lots of differences too. But it would take a while to explain it all, so it's best to just keep it short.

Basically, from what Y/n heard, Hell is divided into seven Rings. And each one of them is named after one of the Seven Deadly Sins. There are also various different types of species in Hell too. There are Imps, Hellhounds, Succubi, and Incubi, and those are the ones that Y/n knew of so far. Then there were Sinners, people who arrived in Hell after dying on Earth. From what Y/n heard, they're stuck in the top Ring of Hell, the Pride Ring, which is where he also is too.

Then there were Overlords, those who rose to power in some way or another. Wether it was controlling certain amounts of territory or control of a certain industry. Said industries were ranging from TV and news to porn and gun running. Then there was the Ars Goetia, which was basically high-class demon families and royalty. After them was the Seven Deadly Sins, then the Queen and Princess of Hell, and Lucifer Morningstar on top. Y/n even learned that there was also an Extermination Day too. Which is when Angels from Heaven called Exorcists come to kill as many Sinners as possible on New Years Eve.

Y/n would've made a home over in Pentagram City, but it was to crowded for his liking. But he was able to get an old apartment in Imp City to use as his own place. And he even started making Bliss again to help support himself. Even though he was dead, he still had to eat since Sinners can't die again. Well, that is unless a Sinner is killed by an Exorcists Angelic weapon. But Y/n wasn't planning to run into any of those guys anytime soon. Anyways, he had started making Bliss to sell to both demons and Sinners alike.

After all, some minor gangs sold drugs out in the streets. But they seemed to be at war for control of the cities drug market. Though it was likely just some basic drugs like meth, coke, or heroin. But Y/n's Bliss drugs reputation was starting to grow in the area. While Imp City was a small city, there was a fair amount of demons there. Most of which were Imps, hence the name, while also some other Hell-Born demons and some Sinners too. But none the less, the reputation of his designer drug was quickly growing.

In the first month, Y/n's operations were just small-time. As he was only able to sell to a dozen locals in the area around his place. But more and more clients started coming in over the next few months afterwards. And while he only had a small amount of equipment to use at first, that quickly changed. With the money Y/n was getting, he was able to get more equipment and goons to produce more Bliss. But like when he was alive, there were some problems with his new rivals.

A few gangs tried to take over his business for themselves. That's when he had first discovered the supernatural powers he had. So, using his powers, he was able to take out the rival gangs and take their territory. Of course, the other gangs didn't take to kindly to his rising power. So they banded together to try and make a stand against him. And over the last couple months, Y/n's been in a war against the Dead Man's gang as they've called themselves.

With the Extermination in a few weeks, things were heating up. There were locals getting supplies for the upcoming Extermination. And the Dead Man's gang was trying to push for as much turf as possible. But it wasn't going so well since Y/n and his crew have been hitting them left and right. At this point, they only had about six or seven blocks of territory left. And Y/n was getting his forces ready for one last push to wipe them out for good.

At the moment, Y/n and his forces were attacking the DM gangs base of operations. It was a night club called Satanist 66, and the DM gangs last main stronghold. Y/n's forces were made up of various Hell-Born demons and even a handful of Sinners. And thanks to rading the DM gangs main weapons cache, the DM gang was outgunned. But that didn't stop them from trying to keep Y/n and his crew out of their club. And with the few weapons that the DM gang had, it was making it hard.
