I awoke on cold, blood stained stones. It was hot, no, it was burning in the room. The room seemed to be made of gray stone, but most of the room was red, stained with blood. Knives and guns littered the ground that I lay on.

I picked myself up and started walking around the room. There were cuts everywhere around my body, most likely from the knives. Behind me, there seemed to be a cliff. I walked toward it to discover that at the bottom of the pit, there was a burning inferno of red flames. Far away, on the other side of the cliff, a man and a woman held hands, and jumped off of the cliff. I looked away as I heard their painful screams. I decided that walking away instead of watching more death was a great plan.

But it didn't turn out the way my plan went. Beyond the weapons, bodies and skeletons littered the ground, along with pools of blood. Some people were hanging from ropes attached to the wall, while some appeared to have stabbed or shot themselves.

“Well, what'll it be? You gonna keep on going, or end up like these pieces of useless trash.” A voice echoed out of the shadows.

“Who's there?” I shouted back.

“I want an answer now, honey.” It replied. The voice seemed feminine and sweet, but I could feel the evil behind it.

“Keep on going, of coarse!” I yelled.

“Fine then. Your new name is Akumu Kyōfu. Deal with it, honey.” She said sweetly. “There's a door just up ahead. Have fun in hell! Hehee!!”

“F-fine then.” I tried saying it calmly, but my voice shook.

I was in hell... A fallen angel... Misery with wings...

Tears erupted from my eyes. I didn't deserve this. I never killed anyone! Why was I here? My cries of sorrow filled the dead hallway with hopelessness, as my tears rained down upon the stained rd stone.

“No, be brave Yu... I mean, Akumu. Your strong, you can get through this.” I said to myself encouragingly.

And so I walked onward. And sure enough, there was a black door just beyond the darkness. I examined the door. It seemed to be... floating? And it wasn't attached to anything at all. Just a floating black door, floating only about a foot above the ground, with a shining red handle.

I reached out to grab the door knob. As I put my hand on the knob, I hesitated. I didn't know what was on the other side of that door. Demons for sure, but still...

I turned the knob with my hand and cautiously opened the door, and peered into hell.

Bloody could easily describe Hell, but let me go into detail. Screams erupted from every shadow. Blood leaked out of the cracks in walls. Bones littered the black ground. There seemed to be humans wandering around lost, stained in colorful splashes of red on their bodies. As for the actual demons, they all looked like monsters out of a horror movie from the 80s.

But then, I noticed something in the distance. Angel wings!! A woman with long white hair in a long blue dress sprouting green angelic feathered wings.

Another fallen angel! I instantly thought, running towards her.

I think I bumped into at least three other demons(eww), and ran through a ghost, but I finally reached her, with a big smile on my face.

“Hey! Why are you here?” I asked, putting my hand on her shoulder.

I immediately regretted that decision ass soon as she turned around. Her face was green, and covered in scales. Her eyes appeared to me as if they were cat eyes, but they were blood red. She bared her teeth at me, and they looked like teeth from a sharks mouth. She didn't have a nose, and she seemed to have a long, green tail that the dress had been hiding from me.
