Bonus 1: Beat the... game?

After 20 years of fighting for humanity, I, the saviour, realized which side I had to choose. The angels were oppressive, treating us as lower beings, but the demons were better, giving the humans who had no chance left an opportunity to survive.

And I took it.

I was given the spot of the 56th demon king. As a demon king, I saved humanity and the demons from destruction. Together, we had the chance to suppress the angels and banish them from Earth.

That day, our plan was to integrate the city where the last sanctuary was situated into the demon lands. This way we would be under the protection of the demons.

Delade was the last human city I created. Together, the city housed over 150 million people, everyone who was still human. As the founder of Delade, I naturally held the city's dimension-moving ring. Although the demon land was not a place that normal humans could handle, the city's protection bubble would keep the demonic environment at bay. Although I was no longer human, it was a small price to pay to save the rest of humanity.

I arrived at the demon hall in the "afternoon". There is no sense of day or night in Hell, but time still flows in direct correlation with Earth. I was here to pledge my allegiance and finally end the struggle after 20 years. Although it was difficult, I held no regrets as I kneeled before Baal, the first Demon King. The stress and weight put on me since the beginning had finally ended.

As the last words of the oath leave my mouth. Darkness looms over my vision. Is this how humanity ends? What a sad and pitiful-

Suddenly the system prompt appears in the dark.

A game?

More important than that, what happens if I don't? Do I still die? Tired, I couldn't bother to do anything, letting the timer expire.

The system prompt closed, leaving me in darkness. Suddenly a hissing sound can be heard as a capsule door opens. I blinked hesitantly into the light and step out. I was in a small studio apartment. The morning sunshine refracts off the window and onto the floor. I walk around the place, almost unfamiliar with my situation. 

Oh.. right. I am back in the "real world". The world I was just in was an illusion, a video game. Doomsday is the new upcoming game, and everyone was dying to get a copy. The entire stock sold out on the first day, and people were scrambling to order from retailers. Only a small portion of the world could play it. I was among the lucky few that obtained the game. I originally just planned on re-selling it to retailers, but I got greedy and wanted to try the game first. 

The game is too realistic, I almost believed that I was actually Daril for a minute. Either way, it was time for me to take the game out of the capsule-

A small flash happened just as I touched the capsule. The floor disappeared beneath me and I fell through space. I opened up my eyes to find that I'm in a new apartment building. I get up and try to find a bathrobe, wearing the only slippers I could find... bunny slippers. I open the door to find where I was when I see... Ezekiel? So am I Daril?

Happy April Fools! :P

An alternate world where Doomsday was just a game and our protagonist gets forcefully sucked back into the game.
