Light in the Dark (Lucifer X Male! Reader)

You wake up to light so brilliant it feels like your very soul is bathing in warmth. Before you stand the golden gates, shimmering with divine radiance, a choir of distant voices singing in perfect harmony. You've made it. Every sacrifice, every act of kindness, every hard choice-it was all worth it. As the gates creak open, you step forward, heart swelling with the promise of peace and eternal joy.

But then, the ground beneath your feet trembles. The light begins to flicker, dimming to an ominous red hue. A low, guttural laugh echoes, sharp and cruel, as the ground splits open beneath you. You scream as you're swallowed whole, plummeting into darkness.

The descent is endless, suffocating. Flames lick at your skin, shadows twist into grotesque forms, and agonized screams pierce the air. You land hard, the stench of sulfur and rot assaulting your senses.

"What went wrong?" you cry out, voice cracking. You knew you were good. You followed every rule, loved deeply, gave selflessly. You were sure of it.

Now, trapped in the depths of Hell, you must unravel the cruel twist of fate that led you here, as the flames close in and the whispers of the damned call your name. Heaven was a promise, and Hell... is your reality.
