I'm putting up this chapter earlier. I do not have much of a reason, I just felt like it and in a way I feel like it's better to read 1st and 2nd together. But the next one will be up alongside the official BC chapter and every other will be released like this alongside a chapter for the rougher version (or maybe day later). And I thought I could allow it this time due to how many chapters I have.

Chapter 2
"Summoning"

The writing never ends. As Lucifugus writes more and more the more lost he becomes. How much time has passed already? Wait? Passed? From when? When he started writing now or when Lucifero put him into this position. Neither of these things he knew and most likely neither of them he wishes to know. Then again he really doesn't know much. His head feels empty, his thoughts are empty and he can't remember much beyond where he sits right now. This is painful... painful and dull. Today is especially tiresome day and this Pen doesn't even squirm in pain, more than that, he seems to be content with what he is doing. And even from this angle as he writes more and more words he sees that big grin on his face. Why? Why is he so happy? What is wrong with this Pen? He needs to know. He HAS TO know...

"Pen" Lucifugus stopped writing for a moment and picked Pen upside down up to his face "Why are you so happy all the time?"

"You don't remember my Lord?" Pen asked with clear confusion in his voice and for a moment his grin disappeared

"No...I really don't..." These words made Lucifugus feel hollow for a moment. But then he quickly regained composure "But never mind. WHY are you so happy? Shouldn't you be crying in pain or screaming for mercy?"

"Why would I do that?" Pen quickly answered and his smile returned to his face "I help my Lord in his work. I can't not be happy about that!"

"...Uh uh (Oh great... He wants a fucking raise... Actually do I even pay them? I'm sure I do somehow... I think...)" Lucifugus thought to himself as he looked at "clearly fake" grin on this Pens face. "And WHY are you so happy about it? (I'll just destroy this dumb narrative before it grows even further)"

"My lord needs help so I help. I like helping you My Lord! I don't know why though, but who needs a "Why?" when you have "I like!" My Lord?" Not for a moment did this Pen hesitate nor lost his strange smile. He was quite good at this.

But... he made a good point didn't he? Who needs a "Why"? Do you REALLY need a "Why?". Do you even want a "Why"? What is even the point of there being a "Why"?

"(I do need a "Why". Don't ever forget that whatever you are)"

I'm just trying to help.

"Right... Well then let's get back to work." Lucifugus said, but is not sure to whom he said it. And so he started writing with Pen again. "(Maybe more of this pain will help loosen up your tongue.)"

But no painful grunt came from Pens mouth. No indication of excruciating pain. Only sometimes Pen just spoke something. Mostly things like:

"Maybe we can have fun once we are done"

Or

"I can tell a joke one of the Pens from the box told me."

And sometimes

"You are not dull my Lord"

And all Lucifugus could think of was...

"(Why the fuck is he my favorite Pen?!) Ugh, how much I have left? Sweet Licht/Patri/Yuno or whatever Jesus equivalent there is in this universe (What are those names even?!) I'm losing my mind here, I can't keep track of it. Let's see. What I wanted to cover today?" Lucifugus thought to himself for a moment. Tried to remember what was he even writing... Wait he got it. "Raise of taxes for Low Devils, regulation about Pet Low Devils for Middles, NO experiments without proper agreement (fuck you Megi), taxation from killing Middle Devils by Low ones (and now that I think about it also is needed one for Middles killing Highs like that one weird time)..."

"My lord?"

And so the line of thought was cut short

"What is it pen?" He raises Pen up to his face again. He was clearly very annoyed "If it's about raise then forget it!"

"What's a raise? I mean, no nonono, I just wanted to ask if you could write some laws that benefit Low Devils? At least one, we are really sad." Pen said with seemingly genuine concern... It was all kinds of odd and Lucifugus had none of it!

"And you will be MORE sad if you interupt me again during my joooOOOoOoOO..."

Suddenly Lucifugus felt as if he was going through all the levels at once while hitting his head on very door.

"My lord?" Then Lucifugus disappears leaving pen mid-air "WAAAAAAA..."

And pen falls to the ground

At house of Faust family

The ritual was almost complete. His brothers appearance was surprising, but not something that could interfere at this point. Nacht put on the bracelet upon his hand, it was cold like ice, like his hand was forever frozen to this strange thing, but even so his eyes never left his brother's face. He felt fear and supreme ecstasy running through his body as he was going to achieve true greatness.

"Here and now... I'll surpass my limits!" And so he was about to do it. Supreme Devil of the Underworld at his command! "Summon."

"Wowowowo. Brr, what was that? Huh?" Lucifugus looks down and sees bunch of weird things standing around, they look oddly similar to humans, he mostly focuses on the one closest to him with white hair, sensing that he is someone important "Uhh, what is it?"

This is a weird room he found himself in. Columns of skulls remind him of home that's for sure, but it was far too small to be his workshop. Then he tilts his head to the right in confusion as he tries to get a better look at the white haired important person.

"Do you have an appointment with me?" Lucifugus asked the white haired weirdo "Or Lucifero?"

Weird people don't answer, just look shocked. Some of them start to scream.

"Look I don't know what is it about, but..." Then he noticed how many people are standing around them. Too many "Oh nonono, I don't like talking with so many people at once, please go away!"

With a small gesture he kills almost everyone around the seemingly more important person

"(Huh? didn't know I could do that?) Okay now we can talk. Sorry, I don't like talking in crowds. Do you have an appointment with me or Lucifero? We are really busy today (I think) so if you could..."

Strange person just trembles and whimpers. This is an extremely weird situation.

"Can you even hear me? Wait. Do I even talk aloud right now? (Wait. No I'm not! I'm talking in my head! Good lord I spent so much time recently on those fucking notes I completely forgot how to talk with anything other than my pens. SHIT! I have to speak up, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER YOU PATHETIC... Wait, what is that another guy doing? Didn't I kill everyone?)"

Suddenly that other mage who somehow survived destroys something on this important mages hand with Light magic which Lucifugus extremely dislikes due to sitting on those notes for so long in the dark with just some small candles which constantly burned his eyes. Suddenly he feels the same weird feeling which accompanied him when he appeared here. One moment later he appears in his office again. Or rather falls down on the floor of his workshop.

"My lord! You disappeared there for a moment! Are you okay!? I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Pen quickly jumped on Lucifugus and hugged one of his horns

"(I was gone for like 12 seconds max...)" Lucifugus thought to himself as he got up from the floor

"I was still VERY worried! I thought you were gone forever!" Pen said with such a sad tone that it was almost pleasant.

"Ugh, it's nothing pen. It was weird. I saw some people standing around and they looked like... wait..." Then the happy realization hit him "Holy SHIT!"

"Lord Luci..." But before he could finish...

Lucifugus grabs Pen off of his horn and starts dancing around

"I WAS SUMMONED! I WAS ACTUALLY SUMMONED! FOR FUCKING ONCE SOMEONE SUMMONED ME! LUCIFUGUS! YEEEES! I'M SO HAPPY! FINALLY I...I..."

Then depressing realization hits him

"I fucking botched it... I was summoned for FUCKING ONCE and I botched it! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

His scream could be heard on every level of Underworld. Nobody cared that much about it.

"One time, ONE FUCKING TIME someone remembered about me! ME, Lucifugus! Usually it's either humans summoning pathetic low ones because they are too scared and other times they go for Lucifero himself or that Space Creep. But ME, noooooooooo. They probably think my name is just mistranslation of Lucifero and they ONLY try to summon him. FUCK WHOEVER GAVE US SUCH SIMILAR NAMES! Actually who gave us those names? HOW ARE WE BORN!? Where is our Devil Mom who I can put the blame on!? FUCK YOU MY DEVIL MOM! AND FUCK YOU DEVIL DAD FOR NOT STOPPING HER! USELESS OLD FUCK! FUCK EVERYONE! NOBODY remembers about me and I do all the FUCKING JOB in this shithole even if it is made of drunken delusion of Lucifero! FUUUUUUUUUUUCKK!"

Lucifugus kept screaming and shaking Pen all around. He didn't seem to mind.

"I remember about you My Lord" Pen spoke with a smile and touched Lucifugus's hand that hold him. That made Lucifugus stop and get Pen up to his face, there was pure rage in his eyes.

"You are NOT getting a raise pen!"

"Again...What's a raise?" Pen was still confused. "Can it make me taller? I'd like to be tall like you! Then we can play games together!"

But then Lucifugus fell down to the floor. He was raging too much and now he is exhausted as all 7 levels. But as he laid there with Pen in his hand he remembered something. This event awakened another memory in him. Memory about...

"Huh, but this whole thing reminds me of something. A MUCH bigger fuckup that happened to someone else." Lucifugus thought to himself for a while, grasping at this small strand of memories. Finally he got it. "AH yes, that time Lucifero fucked up..."

To be continued in Chapter 3. "That time Lucifero fucked up*
