1 Ch 1, A Short Intro

It was the 31st of October, 2019 when the world a young man named Mephistopheles Caraldur changed. He had just finished lighting the candles on his little sister, Sally Caraldur's, birthday cake, it was her 15th birthday. Right as he was about to start singing happy birthday he was cut off by a sudden High pitched whine like that of a microphone acting up.

"Hello?... Is this thing on?" The weirdly genderless voice hummed out the question before the sound of 4 taps echoed out.

"It is? Great! Hello you wonderful little humans you. I've come with terrible news... I'm bored! So because you humans are just so incredibly entertaining during bouts of crisis, I've decided to turn half of you into flesh eating monsters! Hurray!"The deafening sound of what could only be God clapping overwhelmed every other sound for a few seconds before fading away.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Only 4,547,331 humans clapped along, all of them below the age of 3, well except Stephen... But we don't talk about him..."there was a pause before the seemingly Godlike voice continued.

"Anywho, isn't this a splendid idea?" Another pause as though they were waiting for an answer.

"No? Sheesh you mortals sure love to drive a hard bargain. How about I also give the remaining humans wonderful abilities! Happy yet? No? Well that's too bad isn't it I guess I'll just have to..." they dragged out the word.

" Do it anyway! "Laughing maniacally they continued"Have fun, and remember to keep me entertained... Toodles!~"Just like that, the Godlike voice was gone leaving poor Mephistopheles to watch in horror as his sister's skin turned ash grey.

"M.C...?" She gasped out before in an instant she began to snarl and jump towards him, he dodged and she flew into the table throwing everything on it to the ground, including the birthday cake. Having accidentally backed into a corner Mephistopheles watched as what used to be his sister stalked towards him, unable to bear it any longer he clenched his eyes shut.

"STOP!" He shouted, and when nothing happened after a few seconds he opened his eyes to find her staring blankly at the wall to his left. Noticing the knife he was gonna use to cut the cake near his feet, he slowly reached down and grabbed it, watching her closely. She made no move to attack him yet he wearily held the knife between them anyway.

"... Sally?" He regretted it as soon as he said it, her head snapped to lock her eyes onto him once again. She snarled and went to jump at him, only to slip on the cake that had splattered across the floor and fall face first into the knife. Leaving it stuck firmly in her skull piercing the brain killing her nearly instantly.

Mephistopheles fell to the floor silent tears streaming down his face as the shock and stress of the situation suffocated the once pumping adrenaline causing him to pass out.
