Two weapons clanged. A sturdy long stick with a large mace on top was swayed aside by a strong female warrior. She dug her heel into onto the dusty surface, scowling at her opponent. With her short reddish hair and a menacing yell, she trusted her chain mace towards a tall girl with a long pointy tail and protruding fangs.
The pretty demon-looking girl barely dodged her attack, throwing her body to the ground of the arena. The audience behind the flimsy fence roared and cheered in a frenzy. They were packed tight around the rocky walls, thirsting for blood.
The fallen girl heaved, holding her weapon tight. Standing up, she narrated, "Someone once joked 'Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company'. Only fools can believe this to be true."
Her opponent cackled with a smirk, ready for another attack.
"Do you want to know what it's like down here? Well, let me tell you.”
Moving into the defensive position, the girl growled, exposing her fangs. She let out a battle cry as their metal weapons met with a loud clang.
“And it all started with my death.”
The woman in question entered this world as a very old and very ill woman. The woman died peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. She had led a good life and was a kind person, or so it would seem. After closing her eyes, she entered a hell-like dimension. It resembled a large city floating on a lake of molted lava, with black skyscrapers filled with evil people and demons alike, called Helltown. With very little resources in this horrible place, she had to find a way to survive. Luckily, there was hope. The woman used a spell to become a beautiful young woman. She was also very strong. Making a new identity for herself, the main protagonist fought pig demons, escaped the reeking slums. On the way she ended up in a brothel and then as a gladiator in an arena. With many enemies and shifty allies, she became a favorite of the audience and finally managed to catch a break. Finding her spot in the top floors of the skyscrapers, the intrigues truly start.
After all her adventures, and she still did not why she was sent there. Along the way, we learn more about her life on Earth and the possible reasons for her fall. Back in Helltown, the cunning woman learns quickly about the ins and outs of the place. She adapts and even thrives, but tries not to lose her humanity. Can she stay sane among such evil?
Even more important, what was brewing in those depths and how did it affect the life on Earth? A lot, actually.
If so, can she save the world? Her family? Can she escape?
