(No One's Pov)
Sovanna Jeong walked down one of Hell's many streets, carrying a small draw-bag filled with a few gemstones until stopping at the noise of two demons kicking something... or more of someone. The overlord looked down an ally to see the two male demons, laughing and singing out their drunken slurs as they kicked a girl over and over again in the ribs and stomach. Sovanna could just barely hear the girl's muffled crying yet the overlord was compelled to keep walking. Why? she could smell it, the girl's scent... her sinner, deceit. Sovanna would care very little the type of demon the girl was, but Sovanna personally hates those who are deceit-sinned.
Sovanna kept walking until "Consider this your official welcome to Hell" one of the devils spat as him and his friend stopped kicking the girl, and started to lift up the bottom of the girl's dress. Sovanna immediately walked over and towered the two devils as they froze up at the sight of her shadow "Now... that isn't exactly very gentlemen like of you, is it?" she harshly questioned the two devils "S-sorry miss-" Sovanna summoned her fan (weaponised with thin sharp blades) and sliced both devils' backs. Both of them immediately bolted, blood dripping down their backs as Sovanna held her hand out to the girl, harshly glaring at her yet the girl looked up at the overlord and immediately shook her head "Either take my hand and accept my help or actually bare witness to what grotesque animals believe 'true torture' is" Sovanna told her. The girl hesitantly took the overlord's hand and was pulled up to her feet "Right then, follow me" Sovanna said, starting to walk again as the girl followed close behind.
Soon they made it Sovanna's house, walking up the stairs of the beautiful house to the front door. Sovanna unlocked the door and allowed the girl to walk in first, closing the door behind both of them before motioning the girl to follow her upstairs. "Wait in there" Sovanna told the girl, pointing to a room before walking off, back downstairs. The girl hesitantly opened the door to the room. The walls were lined with red and black wallpaper, dark wooden floors, two black dressers, a black framed window with curtains and two beds on opposite sides of the door. The bed on the right had red and pink sheets neatly placed whilst the bed on the right had plain white and grey sheets. The girl sat down on the grey bed 'Hell? am I really in such place?' she questioned herself 'There isn't such thing- unless those assholes were over exaggerating to make themselves appear scarier...' the girl signed, immediately flinching a second later as the door of the room opened. Sovanna walked into the room holding neatly folded clothes, turning her head to the girl "Clean clothes" the overlord stated, handing the clothes to the girl before sitting down on the other bed. The girl stood up and turned her back to Sovanna "What's your name?" the overlord asked as the girl froze "Why?" the girl asked as Sovanna folded her arms "Because I want to know the name of the girl I'm helping" the over lord answered before repeating herself in a stern voice "Now what is your name" and again, the girl gave Sovanna the wrong set of words. "A name shouldn't matter" she stated as the overlord narrowed her eyes "It does-" "It doesn't, especially if after new clothes and an exchange of small meaningless words, and you'll throw me back onto the streets of this shithole of a city" the girl stated, taking the overlord back a bit. "Well I assure you that will not happen, only if you do not follow the rules set in my house or fail to show proper manners" Sovanna told the girl before repeating herself again "Last chance, what is your name?".
It took a minute or two of silence for the girl to finally answer "Rebel... Rebel Nili", after answering the question, Rebel unfolded the clothes, grabbing the old pair of black jeans and slipping them on under her dress. 'Nili?... why does that sound familiar?' Sovanna questioned herself as Rebel lifted her dress up and over her head, revealing the back and clip of her bra yet... Sovanna froze, eyes widening a bit as she stared at the tip of some scar by Rebel's hip. "Turn around" Sovanna told the girl, Rebel hesitantly did as told, facing the overlord as she got a good look at this huge scar travelling from the bottom of her right breast down to her hip yet it also seemed to stretch half across her stomach "What happened? Sovanna questioned before Rebel immediately turned back around "Nothing" she answered as worry started to eat at the overlord. "...Rebel, how long have you been down here?" Sovanna asked "Down where?" Rebel questioned, confusion in her voice 'She's a new arrival and she doesn't know....' Sovanna silently signed before rewording her question "How long have you been in the area?" she asked "Including today... three days" Rebel answered, pulling on the shirt the overlord gave her. "One minute I was in my old home town dealing with some crap then the next, I wake up in some old-school graveyard near a ditch" Rebel continued "And every person I come across are just rude and keep saying that I'm in 'Hell'" "Rebel..." the girl turned back around, facing the overlord. Sovanna held out her hand, pink smoke dancing around it as it glowed along with the overlord's eyes... and Rebel stared at her with disbelief and wide eyes, focused on the glow "H-how...?" "Because I am a demon" Sovanna stated as the glow died "This city you're in is Sreeburn, a city of the Reaper Region... of Hell" she told Rebel as the girl sat back down on the bed, staring at the floor. "...and you are now a demon too" Sovanna stated as Rebel held her head "My god... I died?" Rebel seemed as though she was gonna cry- she was completely shocked and terrifed.
The room's door opened again, revealing Lali who saw Rebel and Sovanna then immediately closed the door "Uh... Rebel, give me a minute" Sovanna asked as Rebel nodded her head a bit "A-alright..." the overlord got up and walked out of the room, closing the door behind herself to see Lali to her right, pretending as though she didn't see anything. "Silverstone" "Y-yes ma'am?" Lali answered, turning her head to the overlord as the woman signed "We have a new tenant staying with us for a bit, one whose just arrived in Hell a few days ago" Sovanna stated as Lali's eyes widened a bit "And the only bed currently available is the spare one in your room, so I hope you don't mind" "Of course not, ma'am". Yet Lali's face still held worry that Sovanna could easily see "Rebel isn't lust-sinned and holds no powers, you have nothing to worry about" the overlord assured Lali "But please, treat her with patience and care... she is fairly new to the idea of being both demon and in Hell" Sovanna added as Lali nodded her head. Sovanna opened the room's door again, letting Lali walk into the room whilst she poked her head in "Rebel, this is your new roommate, Lali Silverstone" the overlord stated as the girl looked up between Sovanna and Lali "I have more errands to run so I request the two of you stay in the house, now going outside" she stated before walking away from the room, back down the stairs. 'I'll have to tell the others of Rebel once they return home' Sovanna thought to herself 'Hopefully... this wasn't a horrible idea'.
Lali sat down on her bed as Rebel looked down at the ground "So... Rebel, huh? that's an interesting name" Lali said, really trying to make conversation and get rid of the awkwardness present in the room "My father picked it" Rebel bluntly answered "Oh..." Lali fell silent '...maybe I shouldn't have started on that'. "What about you?" Lali flinched a little, Rebel's sudden words snapping her out of her thoughts "...huh?" "Who picked your name?" Rebel asked, finally looking up at Lali in the eye "Oh uh- my grandma, my parents couldn't come up with something so they let her pick... and she has a little thing for rubys so..." Lali looked away, feeling like she might've nearly started to ramble a bit. "She chose right then, your eyes are almost the same shade of red as a ruby" Rebel smiled a bit as Lali turned her head back to the other girl "You really think so?" "Yeah, but the whole butler-maid look on the other hand... I know it's some type of work uniform, but it's not really... you" Rebel stated. The comment took Lali back a bit 'That's... that sort of what Sovanna said when she first took me in', Lali tugged on the sleeve of her white button-up dress shirt "I think something along the lines of black and ruby red" Rebel suggested as Lali froze up, a light shade of rose pink dusted across her cheeks "Y-you think... red suits me?" "Of course it does- it's differently your colour, honest to god" Rebel said as Lali's blush turned darker. Rebel raised a brow "... you alright?" she asked as Lali nodded her head "... you're not exactly used to complements of any type, are you?" the girl questioned, folding her arms as Lali slowly shook her head "I-I'm an emrone demon a-and lust is the only sin associated with that type, b-but I never d-done such thing as a human nor received any form of complement..." Lali explained, peaking Rebel's interest and attention. "That's why I work as this house's... what did you call it? 'butler-maid'?" Lali questioned as Rebel laughed a bit "Yeah, imagination isn't a strong-suit for me..." Lali laughed a bit at Rebel's words "So an emrone demon is anyone lust sinned?" "Oh no, that's just one type of demon" Lali corrected her.
"There's like a million different types of demons and devils down here: rippers, ternas, reapers, shadow and night walkers, infernos, witchdoctors..." Lali listed as Rebel's eyes widened a bit "Then you've got overlords like Sovanna (the woman who just brought you here to the house), the Black Council, the Royal Family which includes Satan..." Lali continued as Rebel stared back at the ground in disbelief. "And millions of rules of follow, the nine rings of Hell... there's quite a lot-" Lali paused after seeing the look on Rebel's face "My lord- I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to overwhelm you-" "It's fine..." Rebel tried to assured Lali... with a lie 'How the fuck did I get myself into this situation?!' Rebel screamed in her mind.
