The Demon King: The Restart (Volume 1) [Completed]

Prologue: Second Chance?!

"TATSUO KOBAYASHI! OPEN YOUR SINFUL EYES AND LOOK TO YOUR BETTER!"

My eyes shot open due to the sudden roar of a masculine voice. I began to take deep breathes as my eyes darted around, making sure to see if I was locked in an angry boyfriend's basement.

I was not.

I flirt with a lot of women. But... that doesn't mean they return the flirting. They usually get their boyfriend's to kick my ass. I thought one of them had kidnapped me and were about to go all thirteen ward Jason on me. But... that wasn't the case. I found myself in what I thought was some kind of cave. My body laid on top of a single rock in the center of a circle. At the bottom of the circle, was a very bright, hot light. I peeked my head over the rock's edge and saw that... it was lava! 

My eyes widened I was able to hear the faint screams that came from the lava. I saw... people! They were screaming as they took a very agonizing lava bath.

I gulped before remembering the voice I had heard only moments ago. My eyes shifted to its source, and I saw a man. He had black hair that was dark as the night. He had bright yellow eyes that shined like the burning hot sun and said eyes were fixated on me. He wore a black three pieced suit, and had a pen and paper in his white-gloved hands. 

I stood up from my rock and looked at the man. He stood across from me. He was out of the circle, safe and sound. While I was in the center, scared shitless. I felt like a prisoner about to be executed because my entire body was shaking, and my teeth were clattering.

The man paced around the circle, making sure to examine every part of me that he could see.
Thank god I was clothed. 

"Tatsuo Kobayashi... do you know where you are?" He asked.

"Listen! If I flirted with your girlfriend; I'm sorry!" I swiftly said, and the man groaned.

He grew irritated rather quick.

"No, you idiot." He snapped. "This, Tatsuo... this is the Great Inferno; the Realm of Hades; the realm of evil and suffering; this... is Hell."

My eyes widened. I took a step back from the man and almost fell off the edge of my rock.

Hell? I'm in Hell!? What the... hell? Didn't even mean to make a joke. But... why am I here!? I don't even remember dying! 

 I looked back at the man. 

If this is Hell... does that make him a devil? Or a demon?

"Hello? Are you still home?" the man asked, trying to bring me back to reality by snapping his fingers.

I mean... it worked.

"Ye-yeah... this is just a lot to take in," I said. "Also... who are you? Why am I in Hell......? AND WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER DYING!?"

I took heavy breathes as the man flashed a toothy grin at my questions. As if they were so amusing.

"Answer One: my name is Vorrath. Answer Two: ever heard the saying 'perversion is a sin?' Answer Three: Think back to what happened the last time you were alive." He instructed, still wearing a grin.

I thought back... 

A group of angry boyfriends, all who's girlfriends I've hit on, grabbed me out of the hallway when I was heading to civics class. They dragged me into the bathroom and began to give me a few swirlies. Swirlies are when your entire body is held in the air upside down while others dunk your head in toilet water.

A good guess hit me like a brick to the forehead. It hurt... a lot.

"DID I DROWN IN TOLIET WATER!?" I screamed, and Vorrath nodded as he snickered.
