Vampire's Slice of Life



"Welcome to hell." 

The greeting Lith had just gotten, the atmosphere that was present, and everything that had transpired in these few moments, it all amused him.

What amused Lith even further was Lucifer's appearance.

Lucifer sat on the high throne naked, with her private parts covered with black scales that came out of her body.

Her wings were extended out, her tail swayed in the air lightly, and most importantly, her aura that exuded out of her was something Lith had never seen before.

Everything about Lucifer was reeking of one thing — Power.

Looking at Lith's amused expression made Lucifer chuckle. Her goal to shock him was achieved and the point she wanted to convey, was half done.

Lucifer got down from her throne and seductively walked towards Lith.

To Lith, she appeared like a damn gorgeous succubus who could make him go crazy any time.

Lith had accepted the fact that Lucifer was now part of his harem. Although she was just his lover for now, it wouldn't be long when he would marry her and officially make her a part of the harem.

Since she was his partner now, he found her more beautiful and captivating than before and got lost looking at her.

Lucifer, once she reached in front of Lith, smirked in happiness knowing Lith was impressed. 

"My dear nephew, are you done staring at my tits?" Lucifer joked.

Lith snapped out of his thoughts as he got questioned. Looking in front, he realised he may have zoned out for a second.

But no worries, Lith smiled and replied, "Not yet. Gimme a few more minutes. Oh also, it would be more amazing if you uncover your nipples." 

Lucifer rolled her eyes hearing that. Lith was as shameless as ever, what did she even expect?

"Anyway, do you have your answer now?" Lucifer changed the topic and asked.

"What answer?" Lith didn't quite get her.

"Weren't you wondering what would happen in case all my mythical beasts joined hands and attacked me?" Lucifer gave context.

Realisation dawned upon Lith."Ah… right, right." 

He nodded his head, but then shook it and continued, "Yeah no, I still don't understand how you could deal with five Supreme Tier beasts coming to fight you." 

Lucifer slapped her forehead. After giving Lith such a grand experience and showcasing her powers, it seems he still didn't understand it.

She put her hands on his shoulder and looking at Lith as if he was a country bumpkin, explained, "Did you not see what I control?"

"I am the ruler and creator of Hell and Abyss, the sole Demon that controls and rules the entirety of all Demons and Devils in this world. The millions of souls you saw in the beginning, the aura you felt of mine after looking at me, it's not even a tiny fraction of the prowess I possess."

"What you experienced was nothing but the First Floor of Hell where the wandering souls of people are prisoned. Imagine how things would be in the Ninth Floor?"

Lucifer then shook her head and continued, "Not to be narcissistic but my point was…"

Lucifer let go of Lith's shoulders and flexed her bicep. "...your aunt is damn strong and there's hardly a few individuals who could beat me." 

Lith was dumbfounded with her explanation. He couldn't help but think, 'she did all this… just to… just to flex!?'

For a second Lith thought he was in some trouble again like things happened in the Astral World in the past. He was pulled inside that place without even his knowledge and thought he was back there again.

Turns out it was just Lucifer who just wanted to give Lith a glimpse of her power and provide assurance that she was indeed very strong. 

All mythical beasts combined couldn't even touch her hair — she was trying to express this.

Honestly, it wasn't bad at all, but Lith felt it was a bit too much. 

If she had just said that she was strong enough to handle them all, Lith would've believed her. There was no need for going through all of this.

It was unnecessary, but well… It was a good experience for Lith. He hadn't been to Hell before and with the way things looked, it seemed like a place he should visit once in his lifetime.

Lith nodded in response to Lucifer's explanation and said, "I understand. Let's go outside and continue the talks."

Lucifer smirked. "Not so soon, bit— my child." 

Lucifer controlled herself from saying the word 'bitch'. It was a habit of hers which she had acquired after years of getting annoyed by her three friends. 

Though it was a habit, she tried her best to not say it in front of her two nieces or nephew. She wanted to be a good aunt to the three.

Lith could figure out that Lucifer was going to say bitch and he was aware that it was a habit of hers, so didn't dwell on it much and asked the important question,

"What do you mean not so soon?"

Lucifer put her hands on Lith's shoulders again. Her lips curled up in a big smile and she said, "I can't let you go without showing you the Abyss now, can I?"

"The Abyss?" 

Lucifer nodded her head like a pecking chicken, feeling excited to show her work and watch his amazed reaction.

"Are you ready?" She asked with a smile.

'Well… it wouldn't hurt to see one of the wonders of the world.' Lith thought to himself.

He looked at Lucifer and nodded his head. 

Lucifer smiled widely. "Good. Good. I hope you don't break."

"What—"

"Bye~"

BOOM!

Lucifer pushed Lith down into the ground and made him disappear.

She then chuckled and went back to her throne to watch how Lith was faring off.

*

Splash!

Lith felt himself being thrown into some water body. 

Everything around him was dark and he felt himself sink down to the bottom.

Lith looked around, finding nothing but complete darkness. 

This pitch black darkness made him aware that he had entered the Abyss and was now heading towards the First Floor.

Before one entered the floors, there was a buffer zone of darkness which was deeply unsettling and could deteriorate one's mental state.

Unless one was a Devil or an immortal, chances of surviving the mental onslaught in this darkness were grim.

The darkness would make one reminisce about their past and bring out their deepest trauma within them, having them experience it again.

Not only would that be the case, the intensity of it would be amplified by ten folds in the beginning and as one reached closer to the First Floor, it would go even upto a thousand fold times.

Despite being aware of this and sinking deeper into the Abyss, Lith awaited the onslaught but nothing as such happened to him.

As time passed, he started hearing weird voices in his head, but their intensity was nowhere the same as the one he experienced in Hell.

Soon, what Lith was expecting, started happening.

His past memories surfaced in front of his eyes and he felt himself being back on Earth, standing in front of the gates of his past life's university.

One after another, he felt himself struggling to make ends meet as he was in a foreign country, working part-time and having a hard time managing everything.

Lith was aware that what was happening to him now was his past trauma surfacing due to the Abyss. 

The Abyss tried to break him, but Lith could only think to himself, 'Heh. Goodluck trying.' 

Lith was well aware of the fact that he was just an average guy in his past life. Who didn't have problems? He was at least somewhat privileged to be studying in a foreign university, many didn't even have the opportunity to leave their country.

Next, in this life, Lith hardly ever had any trouble regarding anything. 

Despite being in a life threatening situation here and there, there was nothing else that worried him.

He had a loving family and everyone around him were all nice and wholesome.

Eventually, despite the amplification of traumas, Lith felt little to nothing and wondered when it would be over and he'll reach the First Floor.

At last, his wishes came true as he saw light below him and a surface to appear.

Lith soon landed on the surface and found himself in a small summoning room of some sort.

He looked around and felt himself in a mediaeval fantasy room. There were spider webs and dust everywhere along with some potteries filled with who knows what.

Lith ignored them and got out of the small room, only to feel amused as he found himself standing at the edge of the cliff and having a look at the beautiful landscape in front.

'Oh wow. It looks the same as an isekai fantasy starter village…'

Such were Lith's thoughts as he looked at the many small villages attached to a small town in the middle.

'I didn't expect the First Floor to look like this…' Lith thought to himself. 'What does she even want me to do?' 

Just as Lith thought that and wandered around the cliff, he heard Lucifer's voice in his head, saying, 

"Oho! Seems like you made it past the buffer zone! Amazing, as expected of my nephew. Anyway, proceed to the kingdom below and I'll give further instructions."
