Chapter One - Prologue
Since the dawn of time... Humans have always feared "the darkness".
Vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts...
Although it differs slightly from culture to culture, people's fear of the darkness has grounded them into living conservatively.
In the current world... Thanks to wars, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, accidents caused by human error, and daily incidents of murder...
Humans have grown to fear the actions of their own kind even more than the darkness itself.
This is the story of a group of heroes who have stood up to fight back against such a corrupted society.
...
The world is divided into three different smaller worlds, the Human World, the Netherworld and the Celestia.
The Human World, is a dysfunctional dystopia where humans live, in which they have technologically advanced at the cost of their world becoming barely habitable due to overpopulation and other natural disasters.
The Celestia is a realm populated by Angels and is the equivalent of "heaven" to demons. It is a separate dimension where good humans go when they die.
While the Netherworld, is place ruled by demons, also a dark place where evil deeds such as murder, excessive violence, unwanted destruction, theft and other things that are considered crimes by humans are considered daily activities.
...
"The soft and fluffy fur... Which are extending from its cotton skin... What a splendid touch... The extract of life overflows and fills my heart as I hugged it... I can feel its tenderness... Ah, the waves of ecstasy... How magical..."
"Are these insignificant creatures, known as bears!"
His name is Usami Akihiko, an elite half vampire, or in other way a dhampir, who was once feared for being a tyrant.
In spite of his legend, he now spends his life in Hades, the Netherworld's prison, admiring bears and any stuffs related to it, mostly stuffed bears.
His Werewolf childhood friend, Kamijou Hiroki, routinely accompany him in Hades and tolerating his ridiculous personality.
"As expected of you, Bakahiko. No matter the hardships and circumstances, your cloudcuckoolander mind and your weird obsessions will never leave your head."
"Listen to this, Hiroki. Bears have so many useful uses. Some uses of them are they can be used as a replacement for a pillow, they can be used as a friend to accompany you for all over the time, they also can be used as a sandbag to release our stress and many more."
Akihiko had a collection of stuffed bears with different sizes, he nicknamed them all as "Suzuki-san". He also collected any stuffs related to bears other than the stuffed bears.
"I don't know what's going on with you now. Suddenly you have stopped drinking blood, now you have lost your powers and fell to Hades," said Hiroki. He still remember the days where Akihiko were greatly feared by the humans and demons for being a tyrant.
"As a dhampir, I don't need blood as much as a vampire do, I only need it for retaining my powers, plus I think I have a more peaceful life living in Hades," replied Akihiko calmly.
"Hmph, Bakahiko." sighed Hiroki.
Suddenly, a blue pouch-wearing penguin-like creature with disproportionately small bat wings, two peg legs where feet would normally be and stitches next to the mouth entered the room where Akihiko and Hiroki were in.
"Lord Kamijou, all of the prinnies have been gathered. Please to the Prinny Factory." said the blue penguin-like creature.
Hiroki shocked for a while. "You, Prinny! Repeat what you just said!"
The blue creature which was called a "Prinny" became scared with Hiroki. "Eeek!? I-I only asked you to come to the factory..."
Hiroki took a thick book and threw it to the Prinny's head.
"Fool! You forgot to include "dood" in all your lines!" Hiroki briefly stopped, then he continued,
"Prinny Rule No.1! You shall always include the word "dood" in every line you say!" yelled Hiroki.
"Y-you're absolutely right, dood! I'm sorry, dooooood!"
"Too late! You must start over from Level 1!" said Hiroki, much to the shock of the Prinny.
Level 1 Prinny Task: Scrubbing the toilet.
"Yes, dood! I'm sorry, dood!" said the Prinny, slowly leaving the room.
"Can't even master the basics? The quality of the human souls is decreasing by the day," said Akihiko. He hated humans, since the worst day of his life which he was trying his best to forget it.
Humans who have led a worthless life such as thieves or murderers, or have committed a mortal sin such as suicide, have their souls sewn into the body of a prinny upon their death.
After being reborn, the newly created Prinny will serve as a soldier, slave, or servant in the Netherworld or Celestia until it has earned reincarnation, in order to atone its sins.
But first, they will be trained by Prinny Instructors in Hades. One of the Prinny Instructors is Hiroki, whom is very feared by the Prinnies and they call him "Kamijou the Devil" as he is very bad-tempered, although he is actually a shy person who can get flustered so easily. In other words, he qualifies to be a tsundere type AAAAA.
"Being a Prinny Instructor is such a tough job. No wonder it is the least wanted job in the Netherworld... I have no idea why I even took this job..." muttered Hiroki.
"Anyways, let's go Akihiko! You need to help me with those Prinnies instead of lazing around here!"
To survive himself living in Hades, Akihiko also work as a Prinny Instructor, working along with Hiroki.
Both of them together left the room to the Prinny Factory.
...
"Hiroki! Akihiko! Both of you are late!" Another Prinny Instructor at the Prinny Factory, whose name is Miyagi You greeted Akihiko and Hiroki.
"What do you mean by "late", Miyagi!? Are the Prinnies being so hard to you?" said Hiroki, being a little irritated.
"Hahaha, sorry about that, it is just today that we have a new Prinny..." replied Miyagi.
"Another Prinny came, again? The number of Prinnies nowadays are getting ridiculous." sighed Akihiko.
"A new Prinny? So what?" Hiroki doesn't show any signs of interest.
"Wait, listen to me, first! This new Prinny is different than the others!" said Miyagi.
"Since that the Prinny Factory has a scarcity of Prinny suits now, so this new Prinny will just have a jacket and a hat slapped on him!" He convinced.
"What? Where is he?" asked Akihiko as he gained some interest to know how the new Prinny look like.
"Look! There he is! Cool, huh?" pointed Miyagi at a direction.
Akihiko and Hiroki turned their heads to see the new Prinny. Suddenly, Hiroki was very shocked to see the new Prinny.
The new Prinny is a tall man in his 20s, and he has dark blue eyes and dark blue hair. He was wearing a blue hat and jacket to match the appearance of a Prinny.
The new Prinny was also very shocked to see Hiroki. Then, he ran towards Hiroki.
"Hiro-san...!" called the new Prinny.
"I'm glad to see you here!" The new Prinny hugged Hiroki. "I've missed you so much..."
Hiroki blushed upon being hugged. "No-... Nowaki?!"
"You knew him?" asked Miyagi.
He broke the hug. "What are you doing here!? Did you just dead!? And someone like you supposed to be in Celestia!"
Akihiko and Hiroki sometimes will disguise themselves as humans and travel the Human World.
Due to fate, Hiroki and Nowaki met each other, and fell in love with each other.
But Hiroki was very heartbroken when Nowaki found out that he is actually a demon, so he felt that Nowaki will hate him for it. He immediately left the Human World and vowed never to visit it again.
"I was so devastated when you said that you don't want see me anymore and left me... So I committed suicide," answered Nowaki.
"What!? You idiot!" yelled Hiroki.
"But now, since that we are together again..." Nowaki stopped awhile to kiss Hiroki's forehead. "Please don't leave my side ever again, okay?" said Nowaki while caressing Hiroki's cheek.
"Nowaki..." Hiroki blushed. Both of them become infatuated in their own world as their gaze in each other's eyes, without being aware about their surroundings.
"Could both of you stop being lovey-dovey for a while and do something about this?!" yelled Miyagi, snapping Nowaki and Hiroki to their awareness.
"What happened?" asked Hiroki.
"The Prinnies suddenly disappeared; they were suddenly sucked by a mysterious portal...!" answered Akihiko, who were shocked with the disappearance of the Prinnies.
Akihiko continued, "We need to get them back or else we will lost our job, so let's go, everyone."
"I don't understand how things are going here, but I'm helping too!" volunteered Nowaki.
"That's the spirit. As a Prinny, you must make yourself helpful." said Akihiko.
They all left the Prinny Factory.
...
"Hmhmhm...! So you all are finally here, Prinny Instructors!"
"Warden Sumi Ryouichi!" called Akihiko, Hiroki and Miyagi.
"What do you think you're doing with those Prinnies?" asked Akihiko.
"Oh, watch your mouth, Usami-san... Who do you think helped you after you lost all your power?" said Warden Sumi unpleasantly.
He continued, "Before you start acting all Prinny Instructor-y, you should think carefully about your place here..." He smirked.
"That's why I'm asking you politely. Give us back those Prinnies or else me, Hiroki and Miyagi will lose our job." said Akihiko calmly.
"Hmph! I'm the Warden of Hades and I control everything around here!" gloated Warden Sumi. "I'm not giving the Prinnies back to you."
"What?!" said Akihiko, Hiroki and Miyagi at the same time.
"Why did you do this? And what are you going to do to the Prinnies?" asked Nowaki.
"Oh, so you're the new but unusual Prinny that I've heard..." Warden Sumi observed Nowaki for a while.
"Anyways, I felt that the Prinnies were a total burden to you, Usami-san... You should become my lover instead of a Prinny Instructor..." said Warden Sumi.
"I'm not going to be your lover, nor to anyone else." said Akihiko sternly.
"That's because I already have someone who is really precious to me, who will forever be in my heart... And no one will able to take his place!" thought Akihiko.
"If you dare to refuse us, then we'll have to resort to violence to force you to understand." Said Hiroki while putting on his battle gloves and prepared for battle, and so were the others.
"Agreed! He who doesn't understand words must be given physical discipline..." threatened Miyagi.
"I don't know how I got this baseball bat, but for the sake of Hiro-san I will also resort to violence..." said Nowaki, holding his weapon that he suddenly had.
"Prepare yourself, Warden Sumi. With the remaining power and magic that I have now, I will defeat you..." said Akihiko while pulling out his sword.
"Oh shit..." said Warden Sumi with a total scared look. "Ah well, I can summon some of my subordinates to help me..."
