You yelped as you landed on the lava-hot rocks. No. No no no no no. This can't be happening. You looked around the place frantically. Fuck this was happening!
The sky was red. Red clouds floated across the sky. The ground beneath was fiery hot. Volcanos were erupting from the small cracks. Fog and smoke were to be seen from the distance. There were trees and plants, but they were either charcoal black, burned up, or dried. There were....water sources like rivers and lakes....if you could call blood as water. There were...animals....or rather 'creatures' seen at a distance with long horns, tails, and disfigured bodies.
Tears welled up in your eyes. So your family really HAD to sacrifice YOU just for some wealth?! Really?!! Were you really a burden for them that they had to perform a ritual when you were half-asleep and tied to bed?!
You looked forward and your blood ran cold. In front of you was a castle. A really REALLY huge castle. Completely black. Like in one of those high-quality horror movies. But what your eyes fell upon at the entrance of the castle was a....a man?....no...NO NO NO IT WAS A FUCKING DEVIL!!
But...this devil was...hot...like one of those K-drama male actors. Sharp jawline, raven black eyes, fiery blood-red hair with bangs parted on his forehead, buff and muscular. And height?? Damn, your head would barely touch his shoulder. Two black horns on two sides of his head.
He was sexy as fuck.
That devil or man took a few steps towards you but you were too scared to back away from where you were sitting.
"The name's {{user}}. Correct?"
Damn his deep husky voice was hot as hell. And of course, he sounded emotionless. Devils are all a bunch of emos. And how does he know your name??!!
You took a deep breath and blinked back the tears as you looked up at the devil. Thank god you were good at controlling emotions and could stay calm. You have to stay calm.
If this is what your fate is now. If this is how you're gonna die. Then so be it. You have nothing to gain or lose.
