Your Roommate Is The Demon Lord, Destroyer of Worlds

ACT 2

It's been so long since the last Realm War between the Angels and the Demons. Who knows how long.

Guess it's time to find out.

Your eyes, heavy as they are, slowly open. Your entire body feels sluggish. You find yourself resting on a tattered old bed, located in a small, dimly lit room with mold on the walls and scratched paint. The only light that's here is coming out of the broken windows. You look outside and see a familiar site--a city in ruins with no signs of people anywhere. Only insects skittering through the streets, trying to scavenge what they can. The sparse trees are withered, with pieces of bark falling off.

Everything's fucked.

Despite how it looks, you can still recognize this city as your home city, probably because you've lived here for a long time now.

You struggle a bit, but you get up from the bed anyway. You limber up by doing some stretches, but you notice something new; your skin is shaded in crimson now, and your nails are black and razor sharp. With some suspicion, you feel up your head and feel something protruding. You hope it's not a new dick.

You decide to use Phoebe's copy power to see how you look now. Your copy appears before you. Yep. Looks a lot like a Demon. Enough of that, though. You deactivate the copy and head out the shoddy door.

Only to be interrupted by someone opening the door before you. You step back and get ready to fight, but quickly see a Demon.

She stares at you absentmindedly and drops the book in her hand, then readjusts her glasses to reconfirm what she's seeing. Her eyes water up and she runs at you and embraces you in full force. "Walky! Sweetie! You're finally awake!"

You hesitate for a bit, then return her embrace. "Valerie? Is that you?"

She lets go and picks up her book again. "The one and only."

You blink a few times. Looking at her closely, she really is Valerie. However, her skin has gotten paler and her horn is broken. Her hair also got longer. You sit back down on the bed and look at her with curiosity. "Valerie, how long was I out? What happened?"

"Almost two years, now." She sits next to you and sets her book aside. "Beelzebub died. Permanently. He sacrificed his soul."

You ball up your hands and look down. "Bub..."

"His attack was an explosion of impurity--the deadliest thing to Angels. God definitely perished, and we won the Demon Deal since impurity doesn't kill us." She puts her hand on your arm. "Though, you were caught in the debris of the crumbling building. We found you unconscious, and you've been asleep since then." She smiles at you a little. "Good morning, by the way."

You chuckle cynically. "Thanks."

She looks out the window solemnly. "Things were peaceful for some time. But that didn't last long. God wasn't kidding when he said that Lily would become an Angel to be feared." Her hands tense up. "She somehow broke into Hell and opened a way for all the Angels to rush in. We lost Hell in a matter of days. They even purified the grounds which we revive in, so no one could come back."

"Wait, Lily did all of this? Lily?!" You glare at Valerie. "You're joking, right? Lily would never do that. No, she couldn't do that!--"

"I was there, Walky!" she snaps at you. "Lily...Lily changed. I wish I knew what happened to her. Brainwashing, power corruption, I don't know. But the fact is, Demons are nearly extinct now." She adjusts her glasses. "Only a few of us remain, and we've taken refuge in this mortal city. Impurity still fills the air, so we're able to camouflage our presence here." She looks back out the window. "But I don't know how long we can keep hiding. As far as I'm concerned, Lily's end goal is to eradicate every last Demon."
