Chapter 1 – Welcome to Hell, we wish displeasure during your stay
For some, hell is a dark place, with eerie buildings, blood stains serving as its paint, scary creatures of all kinds roaming around in the streets filled with decaying bodies. For some others, it's filled with fires. For miles and miles, the sound of people screaming can be heard as they're tortured for the sins they've committed.
True, the hell that Baekhyun calls home is a mix of both. But those are just small parts of the extremely enormous hell he will soon rule—well, given that he could finish and pass the trials that the rules of hell have dictated.
But back to the landscape of the hell he lives in, it's relatively similar to the world you and I both live. The residents of hell eat and drink like humans do, with maybe just a few horrific differences. There are vehicles like trains and cars considering that not everyone has powers and not everyone is a demon or monster.
There are humans who live in hell, for many different reasons. Even angels. Hell isn't as bad as it is, but like every country, there are bad times and bad politics. In whole, hell is, well, take Halloweentown but a thousand time darker and twisted.
One of the major differences is that it is always nighttime in hell. The only times where it equates to daytime is when the moon of fires rises. During those times, hell is shone in rays of bright blood red, radiating the gore-ish vibe that the world had and bringing the sparkles of hellish to light.
Also, time works differently in hell. A day in the human world can be only 5 hours in hell. Or it can even reach up to 3 years, depending on how the ruler wants it to be. It changes whenever and without prior warning. This causes madness to the demons that move between hell and the human world regularly.
And oh boy, Baekhyun used to love laughing at those having a hard time adjusting to the ever-changing time. He never questioned his father pulling on what the king call as 'pranks'. However, now, it is a different story. He is part of the many who are annoyed by the pranks. He knows for a fact his father does it even more often lately because he is now part of the group that travels back and forth.
After all the tests and trials, Baekhyun is losing hair strands and brain cells faster than he is able to travel from earth to hell. And to think he's able to teleport in mere seconds (milliseconds even).
Baekhyun wishes he could go to hell. As if he has not lived there his whole life.
❝ This rule can go to fucking hell. ❞
