Hm. Just another day in paradise.

Not.

Of course, as soon as I wake up, 12 people are already surrounding me with problems.

"Dammit just give me a minute guys!" I shout. They never listen though, it's the same thing every morning. Stretching, I stand and reach for the nearest folder handed to me. It's my job to take care of my followers. Provide for them, and lead them on the Left Hand path to Godliness. But I still have to take care of the wacko's that do bad in my name.

Hm. One of the things I most enjoy. While I like to think I am a very merciful God, those who disgrace what I and my fellow Demons stand for, I make sure they get the full force of my wrath. I have absolutely no tolerance for those who abuse or mistreat animals and children, so they are always the first on my list for Karma. That being said, those who do good in my name, and try their best to not only evolve themselves, but those around them, I always shine a light on them to make sure they are loved and protected.

"This one is fake, pay attention next time, and take care of it." I say to the demon who gave me a file of a 'devotee'. "Hand me the next one."

I open up the new file and immediately my attention is drawn to the picture of a young boy, no older than eighteen. He seems familiar...

"What's the deal with this one?"

"Ah, you see, Sir, this boy decided he'd try to summon one of us without the proper dedication. So we just passed him by."

I continue to read through the file, and my annoyance spikes.

"Why the fuck did you 'pass him by'?!" I say, calmly. The demon automatically lowers to his knees in respect. "Did you even read the information?"

"Uhm, no Sir, I just - uh,"

"You neglected your job, that's what you did! It says right here, plain as day, that he NEEDED the help! Pay attention!"

I storm out of the room. I love and cherish all the other demons and Gods, but sometimes they drive me insane! I mean, this is a simple case, and they got lazy. I'll just have to go and take care of this one myself. Not that I'm complaining, I love helping my people, it's my duty!

I'll only fill the room with my energy, to let him know I'm there. He'll never forget the feel of my energy; it's loving, caring, warm, but at the same times it's electrifying and addicting. Maybe give him a few thoughts to get him along the right path, well, the left path... Yeah, that's what I'll do. But, I need some backup, more for the company than anything.

"ASMODEUS!"

I wake up to my phone alarm going off. Annoying as usual for a Friday. I'm just glad I remembered to change the time when dad told me he was going to be gone. I always have to get up even earlier when he's gone, so I can make sure I get something to eat in the morning and to make sure mom isn't passed out on the front lawn, which, sadly, has happened on more than one occasion.

I sit and stretch my arms above my head, feeling all my bones pop back into place. That's when I remember last night. I turn around and look to see if that actually happened. The attempted summoning. Sure enough, the evidence is all over the floor. I walk over there and pick up the black book. I have some time, so I might as well read it a bit before heading out. Even though it didn't work last night...
