Prologue

Calm before the storm. Roxy sets her way to her father's throne as she sees his fierce face judging the souls which keep screaming to not be dissolved into the red material.

they never understand, do they?

"they will never want to see themselves changing. can't they try so hard to impress you?" she asks her father who smirks and crushes his fist so the wall falls and the souls of the lost ones are thrown into the depths of the reincarnation river.

they call it the river of fate. demons, nymphs, monsters of all kinds and the top of the chain, stubborn and arrogant humans, these creatures form the line to hell after their life on earth has ended. oh, earth.

I have never been there but I heard of great, great stories from that big blue planet.

my sister, scratch that, half sister Jikun is someone I loathe with my soul even if I don't even have one but I do hate that woman because she is the child of another greedy human, my stepmother and father's other wife. he was okay with jikun until I arrived in hell and everything changed. you see, cranes don't drop babies in here, only Satan was the one to make babies and that turned out to be unfavourable since he wanted a boy. after me, he took the grand oath to never let any human... betray him again...

Jikun is younger than me but she acts as if she owns this place because she is the only real child of Satan, aka my dad and Persephone. she's got nothing but pride and I bet she slept with pride to get that honour in her body.

anyway, I look towards the working seven sins who have just landed and they walk in a beeline towards their head as they talk about their daily dose to dad. it is essential to keep the peace in this place where it can never be called peace at all.

I look at dad who looks at me.

"take her with you. make sure she is of use and tell her the ways of the human world. let her meet whoever she wants." he says as it catches my ear.

"go where?"

lust answers me and I hate him. he has always been trying to get into my pants and I hate him for his natural nature. he is lust, but I won't deny the fact that he looks like a man who can have me just with a click of his finger. calling him a God here is forbidden. simple rules of hell.

"earth." lust says with the same expression in his eyes as he looks at me and licks his lips.

okay, that makes me want to satisfy him just once. I may have to do that when dad is away to commune with the angels that come here for business and then maybe, I will know what this sin is.

you might have already guessed it right off my feet. I am a virgin. I do not count my years, but I would like to say, with this body of mine, that I am at least a few million years old and I would love to explore the top surface of the earth.

the green things, vampires, nymphs, humans and nasty fairies too. I know I will gulp them down my throat when they come toward me.

you could be wondering when is all this happening. well, we are at the stone age at the moment and I sneak in a few moments from the devil's corner where he likes to invigilate and judge their reason to visit down here or go up there, to you know where.

"I am allowed to go to earth?" I ask as my dad nods his head, his grave voice following after as I hide my smirk when I look at lust.

"you have to learn to adapt. Jun was there for a while too. she will come after you. earth is a billion years old but humanity has just started. I will send you there 2000 years later. until then, prepare yourself." He says as I smirk and bow down to him. it was mandatory and I hated it but I don't want him to take my powers away.

oh, my precious powers.

as soon as the little meeting ends, I head down towards my room, I like to call it room but they have it labelled as Roxy's chamber. My emerald carving doesn't make it look good. I want to change it soon.

there is no clue of day and night here, unlike on earth. so our schedules are whatever they seem to be and we sleep when we are tired. so there are no rules like the humans who have just discovered that there will be day and night, a shift of the earth above against the surface and their biological clocks that makes them sleep at night and work by the day when the sun is shining.

oh, sun.

when I will go to the surface, I am sure I will turn into dust because the sun is always something that will be a source of heating things up until it is damaged and ruined.

what do I do about that?

I better as the witch herself.

making my way towards Ji-Kun's chamber, I hear the sounds of moaning and groaning and skin slapping. it doesn't take a fool's brain to process what was happening behind those oh-so-close doors.

I flick my wrist and the lock from the inside opens as I barge inside to see the lust on top of Tikun.

oh right. I forgot to mention.

these two are equally nasty and like to have flings whenever and wherever possible. the troublesome thing is that dad allows her to do those things with him. only I know what kind of a person lust is because he wants me and no one else to satisfy himself to the core.

I feel gluttony passing by behind me as he tries to peek inside to see the view of them shamelessly slutting each other out like our presence didn't matter to them.

I don't move, only because I like this stupid nameless feeling inside me when I see and imagine things like these. sex, it is called, universally.
