Ten years ago, a sense of listlessness had settled over me, a being known to many as Lucifer, the Devil, or simply, the embodiment of evil. I had grown tired of my work, distracting humans from their divine purpose, only to realize that they were already inherently flawed. They disobeyed God, committed sins, and slaughtered one another without any prompting from me. The boredom was suffocating, and I yearned for something more.
"Ah, what a tedious existence," I exclaimed, my voice echoing through the desolate landscape of my mind. "Let's do something thrilling. Let's assume a human form and live among them. Let's see who will be the first to notice me." And so, I descended upon the mortal realm, taking on the guise of a human.
It was a drizzly day in Tokyo, and I sat on a bench outside a high school, watching as students scurried about, seeking shelter from the rain. One boy, Akira, caught my eye. He noticed me sitting alone, without an umbrella, and his expression transformed into one of concern. He approached me, offering his umbrella, and I sensed a spark of curiosity within him.
"Hey, you! Don't you see it's pouring outside?" Akira asked, his voice laced with kindness. "Want to share my umbrella? I can drop you off at your place if you'd like." I gazed at him, a mixture of surprise and amusement dancing on my face.
"Ah, you can see me?" I replied, my voice tinged with wonder. "Literally, you can see me? I thought I was still invisible to mortals." Akira's eyes locked onto mine, and I sensed a flicker of recognition. "My name is Lucifer," I continued, a mischievous glint in my eye. "You might know me by my other names – Devil, Satan, or simply, the embodiment of evil. As you're the first person to notice me, I'll give you this rulebook. Make sure to read it carefully."
Akira's eyes widened as he accepted the notebook from my hand. And in an instant, I vanished, leaving him stunned and bewildered. The rain continued to pour down, but Akira's mind was elsewhere, reeling from the encounter. He stumbled backward, his eyes fixed on the spot where I had disappeared. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he panicked, his heart racing with fear.
Akira sprinted toward his home, avoiding the crowds and traffic. He burst through the door, locking it behind him, and then locked himself in his room. His breathing was ragged, his mind still reeling from the shock. As he attempted to calm himself, he muttered, "Whatever I saw was just an illusion. There's no way I saw the real Devil." He tried to convince himself that it was all just a product of his imagination, but the memory of our encounter lingered, refusing to be dismissed.
As Akira sat at his study table, he opened his drawer to retrieve his notes, but instead, he found the notebook I had given him. His eyes widened in terror as he shouted, "How?! How?! How?!" The realization dawned on him – our encounter had been real, and the notebook was proof.
Akira's fear gave way to curiosity, and he cautiously opened the notebook, his heart pounding in anticipation. As he did, a burst of thunder shook the air, and I reappeared before him. This time, however, Akira didn't flinch. Instead, he smiled, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes.
"I knew you'd come, Lucifer," Akira said, his voice laced with confidence. "You're probably wondering why I'm not scared to see you. It's because I've already accepted the reality – you have a purpose for me." I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Akira's bravery.
Lucifer, taken aback by Akira's composure, grasped the notebook from his hand. "Want me to read the rules for you?" I asked, a hint of curiosity in my voice. Akira's smile grew wider as he replied, "Why not, my friend?" I began to read the rules, my voice low and deliberate.
"Rule number one: whoever sees me first becomes his servant. Rule number two: that person can use me as they see fit, and I'll obey their every command, except for one – I won't kill myself. Rule number three: the one who uses me will neither go to heaven nor hell. Rule number four: the one who uses me will die within the next ten years." As I finished reading, Akira stood up, a fierce glint in his eye.
"Sit down on your knees, Devil," Akira commanded, his voice dripping with authority. "You're my servant now. I'll use you to reshape this world into a new heaven." I smiled, a mixture of curiosity and i already can guess it . Akira is gonna be dangerous then me , the Lucifer God of sins!
