AN: This story will not be formatted in the usual fashion, this is because I have a bad habit of leaving stories unfinished, so while reading this story it would be best if you consider it complete unless there is a new chapter named at the bottom like this one. I don't have any overarching plot planned so that I can leave this story as complete whenever I lose interest, but I do hope you enjoy it. As for the semi-SI bit, it only exists to explain why Belphegor would bother trying to fix the children he collects, after all canon Belphegor does not care what peasants consider to be appropriate behaviour.
The Prologues
Chapter 1: Squalo Is Oblivious
Squalo remains oblivious to the existence of Belphegor's Monsters, going about his daily life without noticing or responding to the madness around him, but that's only to be expected because NoThInG iS wRoNg, (afterall something as horrifying as Belphegor acquiring an army of bloodthirsty children had to be a perverted illusion created by a truly cruel Mist, and everyone knows mist flames feed on belief). Or in attempting to break a mist illusion that doesn't exist through Willing it away, Squalo activates his secondary mist flames and unwittingly puts himself under an illusion that everything is normal, at least by Varia standards.
Chapter 2: Xanxus is Torn.
