When I was eight years old I witnessed something terrible. My whole world fell apart after that one night. My father was gone on a business trip and I was left alone with my mother and baby sister.

As we all slept there were noises downstairs. My mother was the first to wake, then my sister and then me. My mom crept down the stairs and the noises got louder. It sounded like whispers, but a little louder than usual. Mumbling and muffling was heard in our living room.

My mother finally reached the bottom and screamed in terror. I ran down to see what happened and there was something standing in the middle of the room. I didn't know what it was but I screamed too.

It was tall, skinny and red. It had long black hair and big horns sticking out. It turned to us and charged for my mother. Its hand went through her chest and it ripped her apart.

I don't remember much after that, all I remember is waking up the next morning in a different house. I was with my aunt and uncle waiting for my father to return.

After the funeral our father arrived and we mourned her death for so long. My father fell into a deep state of depression and I tried to make him feel better but nothing seemed to make him smile anymore. I didn't want to tell him what I saw because I know he won't even believe me.

I spent ten years studying what I had saw. I studied demonology and I even came across dark cults that taught me how to use dark magic. I used dark magic to try and summon the demon that killed my mother. But instead I opened a portal to Hell, and fell right in.

For ten years I lived in hell. A demon named Daeda raised me in there. For those ten years I studied dark magic alongside Daeda. He helped me look for the demon that killed my mother, but we had no luck.

I heard many people talking about Lucifer, the king of Hell, but I never saw him. The closest I got to seeing him at all was a man wearing a black cloak with the hood on.

I have tried to do the spell once more to open a portal to Earth. And finally I did, I stepped in and I was back in my world. Everything was different, I can see more things.

When I was in Hell Daeda branded me with a hell bound symbol which makes my magic more powerful and I can see demons. As I walk around I can see demons and lost spirits wandering the Earth. Everything around me was so different now.

I am 28 years old now and things weren't getting better. I came to find out that my sister and father were in an accident and died, and my aunt and uncle moved somewhere very far. I had to use magic to obtain a home with money and food.

I was all alone now with nothing left to do in life. But a new purpose has found me, I needed to hunt down the demons that infests this world with its evil.

A portal to Hell has opened and there are all sorts of demons stepping in to Earth. Its my job to hunt and kill each and everyone of them. But there is more going on instead of just a few demons stepping through. Its an all out war between angels and demons now, and I'm caught in the middle of it all.
