REVIEWS:
Nerdy: Hakuorofan7: That's what we plan to do. Unfortunately my partner here is a bit of a cringy bastard (Bloody: That was intentional!) so keep that in mind lol. Also, the yugioh work is going to cover all the different series so 5ds is included in that. Though it will probably be one of the last ones.
human dragon: Yeah man!
Zairaaquino2005: relax, my man, I am pretty sure Ozpin knows the difference between an ancient warrior race and a blind person.
DragonTetho: At the rate this has been going so far, with the support and everything, I don't think we will drop it too soon if ever. And as far as the pairings go, I think I already answered that question in the story's summary. 'Sides, Cerberus is only one soul, so we count her as such, meaning the Harem is of 11. Wait, that is still pretty large. We will manage.
Third one so far for Arc of Hell. Ready, Nerdy?
Nerdy: Ready as one can be I suppose.
Let us begin then. Should I let you take the first few paragraphs?
Nerdy: Sure.
The landscape around Jaune and Pandemonica was one that fit the name of the place they were in, Hell. Everywhere around their feet was littered with bones of the dead and fountains of blood sprung from the crimson rock of the surrounding areas.
"Pan, how can you and the others stand living in a place like this? It's scary… And not to mention creepy…" Jaune said as he was trying to keep himself calm and not pay attention to the scenery around him.
"Well, we were born and raised in here, so what you might perceive as scary and dreadful is actually pretty much normal for us," Pandemonium said, keeping her gaze forward. She was walking in front of Jaune to lead him through Hell without straying too far towards God knows what place. If there was someone who knew Hell had some darker places than its entrance, it was Pandemonica.
"Well, that makes sense I guess. Still though… It's crazy how-" he was cut off as he felt something under his feet. As he looked down he saw something that he never thought he would see outside of the rare nightmares he has about his family being devoured by Grimm. It was a moving corpse that screamed out in pain as it was stepped on accidentally by Jaune. This caused the young man to fall on the ground.
"W-W-W-WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?!" Jaune was shrieking in terror.
Pandemonica looked back at the boy, seeing him yell because of one of the many corpses around. "It's alright. The corpse cannot hurt you, so you should be ok" She said, looking around to then figure out where they were. "The steps to go to the lower levels are close. Get up, dust yourself, and let's go."
"R-Right…" Jaune tried his best not to vomit at the sight around before him as he got up and continued walking. He did everything he could to not watch the area around him. Soon enough, he and Pandemonica arrived at a cliff as they kept walking.
"Pandemonica… What do we do here- wait, what in the world?" He said as he looked down and saw stairs heading down the cliff.
"Those stairs lead to the lower levels where we must go. I hope you are not afraid of heights" Monica said, beginning to walk down the stairs with Jaune following shortly behind her. The boy took a small peek down, much to his mistake, and he could barely see the bottom of it. There were multiple levels to it, that was for sure, and it got more narrow the further down you went.
"There's no need to worry… She'll grab me if I fall anyway… I hope…" He thought to himself as he started walking down the staircase. Unfortunately for the young man though, his footing gave way beneath him as one of the steps broke off, causing the young man to fall.
Monica immediately turned around, seeing him fall, and her eyes widened as she saw him fall. "Jaune!" She called out as much as she could after him and tried to catch him, but he slipped between her fingers. She knew that any moment now, she was going to see his soul on her list.
"AHHHHHHH!" Jaune screamed out as he was scared out of his mind as he fell. Out of desperation, he crossed his arms hoping some kind of miracle would happen and he would survive. As he kept falling, a white glow started to emanate around his body.
The fall was not pretty either. As he fell, the level he was in was becoming more and more blurry until it was out of sight. He had to have fallen at least 20 levels down this ditch already before the bottom finally showed itself to him in the form of his body making contact with the rocky bottom. Strangely enough, as Jaune felt his body, feeling every fiber in him scream out in pain, he noticed that nothing was broken. He didn't even lose an arm while falling. But his Aura was low, that much he could tell.
He slowly got up from the ground, groaning as he felt his bones pop. He looked up, being unable to see the top where he came from. "Just how far did I go?" He muttered to himself as he looked around, noticing that the surrounding area was different. The rock around was no longer red in color, but pitch black without a spec of a lighter color on it. The only source of light being the hot lava pouring from the walls and flowing through the cracks in the floor. Jaune slowly walked forward, going deeper into this place after looking at the steps here.
They were broken. But it didn't look like natural-occurring damage to him, but it looked intentional. As if someone destroyed those steps on purpose. He felt a shiver down his spine as he began to think of what possibly might be held down here. He didn't see the normal bones and bodies, even the screams were silent so far down. He eventually reached what could be described as a bridge of sorts, made of black steel. It was built over a large ravine with no bottom as far as Jaune could tell, and it seemed to have been made especially for something in there.
Curiosity taking him over, Jaune walked over the bridge as he slowly began to feel a strange sense of terror wash over him. Almost as if something crept its venom deep into his heart and infected him from within. He grabbed Crocea Mors, giving the command for his armor to envelop him as he walked forth. When he came out on the other side of the bridge, the feeling only got worse.
He walked carefully on the black stone, entering what he assumed to be a tunnel of sorts. Strange. This one also looked made by something. As he walked, he eventually came out on the other side. "What in the world is this…?" He asked as he stood in utter disbelief at what he was seeing.
A giant body was standing within a lake of lava from the waist down, chains having been wrapped around its wrist to keep it from falling over. The body of the being, humanoid as it looked, was just skin and bones with no muscle or fat visible anymore on him. And worse of all, it's chest was dug out, its ribs visible for all to see, and a lone figure chained in there. Jaune could not make out the shape of whatever was suspended by those chains, as the figure lifted their head, Jaune was forced to jump back as a spear came down before him, followed by the one wielding it.
Before he was a demon with dark-blue skin and only one twisted horn on his head. One of his eyes was covered by a piece of cloth and he wielded a large spear with a sharpened edge with him. "Die!" He shouted and launched himself at Jaune again, the boy only being able to bring up his shield in response to the attack for a desperate block. It worked, making the spear rebound and the demon to slump back. This gave Jaune the chance to run away back to where he came from, not caring in the least about what he had seen there. But what has seen him did care.
A sinister laugh echoed from the chained figure. "I see you have lost your edge, Ryan"
The blue demon growled, turning to the one in chains. "Shut up! That human piece of shit got lucky!"
The one in chains chuckled. "If he is a piece of shit...What does that make you, who failed to kill him?"
"Shut up, Ignium…" Ryan growled.
"Or what, you little, fucking twerp?" the one named Ignium replied, becoming more aggressive this time in his speech. "A weakling such as yourself, being put to guard me, is nothing sort of a mockery and insult to your very being and my own! If not for those chains I'd rip your head out along with your spine and beat you with it!"
Ryan put his spear aside, standing down while having to watch the demon in chains. "First you need to get out of chains. I doubt Lucifer will let you out soon"
"And I doubt even a desperate succubus would look at you…"
"Why you- At least I didn't try to fight the big boss of Hell!" Ryan countered.
"At least I never got rejected by the ladies." Ignium countered again, feeling quite smug. "What is your count now? 1437 rejections?"
"1436!" Ryan shouted.
Ignium laughed. "Oh, you are too easy, twerp. Too fucking easy. Makes my time here bearable."
"I don't know why I talk with you…" Ryan groaned.
"Oh, because you want advice. Too bad I won't spare you any"
Meanwhile, Jaune regained his posture and thought about what he should do next. "The only way to get back to Pandemonica is to… climb all the way back up…" Jaune then realized exactly the situation he was in.
"What should I do? I've never been good at physical activities before, let alone climbing up a really long wall… well I guess I don't have any other choice. It's either climbing or turning into another one of those corpses… Thankfully I have something to climb with at least" He said as he then stuck his blade into the rocky wall, then he raised one leg and found something to push himself up, pulling himself at the same time with Crocea Mors.
"Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down" Jaune muttered to himself as he climbed. Each time he would rise higher he'd pull Crocea Mors from the wall, move it higher, stab, go up some more, and repeat. He reckoned that there should be at least a point where the steps resume. "Come on, Arc, you can do this - Christ above! Why did I look down?!"
Looking down had to have been his first mistake during this climb as he could see how far he's gotten. He was well above the ground, at least what he perceived to be 100 Meters up already. Gulping deeply and cursing his fate, Jaune returned to climbing until he saw what he could only describe as a stroke of luck. The stairs. He saw intact stairs at the next level above him. He made one last effort, managing to pull himself to the next level where he could see the stairs.
Jaune panted as he thanked whatever saint there was out of there, but he was not out of the woods yet. The level he found himself on now was not any more welcoming. No trace of tortured bodies or the smell of decay still, but blood flowed down from the ceiling from above alongside lava from the walls. The rock was red once again, but a deeper shade of it. After taking a small break he got back up and started to walk to the stairs, trying to see if he could find Pandemonica again. Unaware that a pair of eyes were watching him from afar.
"He climbed out of Tartarus? Hmm. Not bad" A feminine, deep voice mused as she watched Jaune come out of the now-named place which was Tartarus. "Let's see what else you can show me, human, because you have peaked my interest"
Jaune began to walk up the stairs, sword sheathed on his hip and trying to keep his gaze straight. He doesn't know how deep inside of Hell he is now, but he did know he had to find Monica quickly. He had no guide and he surely wouldn't want to get stuck in here. Or worse, killed and/or eaten by some demon. He climbed for what felt like an hour, realizing that it must have been only a couple of dozen minutes since he left in the human realm. It felt like hours down here. The difference in time flow was crazy and he could feel the pressure of Hell already.
"Jaune!" The boy looked up, noticing Monica above, a look of surprise on her face. The knight hastened his pace up the steps and Monica did the same towards him, meeting at the middle. "How? How are you not dead?" She asked, beginning to examine him. There were clear signs that he met rock bottom, but no serious injury.
"I guess my Aura saved me. Although I've never really known it could save you from such falls." He replied dryly, to which Monica slightly recalled this 'Aura' thing he spoke of.
"I think I remember that. Leon Arc, your ancestor, had that as well. It was one of the reasons his death was slower" Monica stated, making the boy gulp. "Oh, I guess I should have mentioned that I was the one to kill him, correct? My apologies for not informing you sooner"
"No, no, it's alright. I met him before meeting you and he gave me a fair warning" Jaune said, slowly regaining his footing. "But again, I do not recall Aura being that strong!"
"Hmm" Monica hummed, thinking. Then an idea came to her mind. "Tell me, do you know what your semblance is?"
"My semblance? What does that have anything to do with- Ohhhhh. I get it" "My semblance is Aura Amplification, or at least that's what my uncle told me'' Jaune replied, having realized what he had done. He used his semblance! Wait, didn't his uncle mix his semblance with his as well? "My uncle also gave me his and I think the 2 mixed together. I'm not entirely sure"
"Whatever happened, your semblance saved your life" Monica stated. "Tell me, where did you land? I couldn't even sense you"
"It was a strange place, honestly. No corpses, blood, bones, or anything but black stone and lava at first sight. Then as I went deeper I saw this ravine with a bridge. After that, I found a giant corpse which looked to have a person suspended by chains inside a hole in its chest-"
"Jaune, were the stairs also broken?" Monica asked, looking slightly alarmed.
"Huh, they were. I had to climb to the next level to get to the intact stairs, so-"
"You do know those stairs were broken for a reason, correct?" Monica stated. "Jaune, the place you fell in was Tartarus, Hell's second most infamous prison where only some of the worst beings are kept" she stated, trying to remain calm. "The being you described...Were you attacked by a blue-skinned demon?"
"Yes" Jaune answered, but then Monica groaned while rubbing her template. Why? Why must this happen to her? Out of all damned individuals in there he found him.
"Jaune, listen to me, whatever you do, for the rest of your stay in Hell, never return there. Promise me!" Pandemonica needed to make sure he doesn't go there again. If Lucifer found out, there would be Hell to pay.
"W-what?"
"Promise. Me" she repeated, sounding even more demanding.
"Ok, I promise," Jaune said, then he saw Pandemonica sigh in relief. Just what did he see there? Was he supposed to not see it?
"I'm sorry if I seemed rude, Jaune. But the one you saw is known as Ignium Ophirius." She replied. "He is a powerful demon of the first generation. This means he was not born a demon but became one after falling from Heaven. His name is both his demonic and angelic combined, which is one of the only 2 names in Hell."
Damn! No wonder Pandemonica looked distressed hearing Jaune. The boy was now thanking his stars for sparring him from such a being. "What is he there for?"
Jaune's question was one asked of curiosity, but Monica had no reason to hide anything from him. Yet. "Ignium's power is on par with Lucifer's. As a result, he gathered a lot of followers and tried to take the throne of Hell via battle with Lucifer. However, his angelic side showed when he gave Lucifer mercy, allowing our glorious leader to strike him and imprison him."
"On par with Lucifer?" Jaune asked in incredulity after hearing her. He wasn't that much of a believer, but even he knew the name of the Morningstar. The one who led the rebellion in Heaven, who wanted to be on a throne beside God. His pride gave birth to arrogance, and then to this place he was in.
"Yes. If anything, Tartarus is one of the only places that can hold him and the best available option" Monica stated, then let out a yawn. "But enough chatter about those things, let's keep going. Soon it will get dark and we need to find shelter"
"Right," Jaune replied, following Pandemonica once again up the stairs. He noticed how she remarked about getting dark. Did Hell have a day and night cycle? If so, how do the demons tell? The only light Jaune saw on the upper level was that of the bright lava above, so how does that work, exactly?
The boy was thinking about it for a while, not noticing when Pandemonica stopped and nearly bumped into her. He stopped in time as the demoness snapped her fingers in front of his eyes. "We're here. This place is where we usually punish the rapist and those who commit lustful sins, and it is managed by the demon Asmodeus. Come'' Jaune followed Pandemonica through the new section of Hell, stepping away from the stairs.
Looking around, this section of Hell was a bit...shameless. Nude bodies of souls stood inside jail cells dug in the wall, their bodies charred, yet unable to die. He had to force his bile down as he got the close-up look of those people. Pandemonica said they punish rapists and other similar sinners here, so he shouldn't feel bad for those guys. If anything, he considered that he should pity them.
But he was focused on simply following Monica, who let out another yawn. "There is a demon girl here, Modeus, the Lustful, and one of Asmodeus' daughters" She stated.
"Is she dangerous?" Jaune asked.
"Not really, nor is she like her family. You see, Modeus tries to be like them to make them proud, but she can never really get it on. She's a virgin" The boy had to stop dead in his tracks hearing that one.
"A demoness? A virgin? Untouched maiden? If this wasn't coming from another demoness I would have never believed it" Jaune thought, then noticed Monica turn to him. He did this dance with Beel too. "Let me guess, you can read thoughts too?"
"Yes, I do" Pandemonica confirmed, making Jaune sigh. His thoughts will no longer be private, were they? "And for your information, so will all demon girls you might meet from here on out. Contrary to popular belief, unless they are succubus, a demoness prefers to find someone right for them"
"Like humans!" Jaune added. "Well, like a part of the humans, at least"
"Correct. However, despite her attempts, Modeus gets shy easily. Don't let her lustful personality deceive you, she is quite shy around more romantic things. Not to mention she has a bad habit of breaking her 'mates' before they even get their shirt off"
"Should I be worried, then?" Jaune asked, knowing that his Aura was likely still recovering. His anxiety certainly didn't help at this moment either, recalling what his uncle told him about how his mood affects his semblance. "I am a guy, after all, and I don't desire to be left in shambles"
"Oh, you don't need to worry. Just keep it in your pants" Pandemonica replied, and just in time as well as they reached an open cave with red incense burning around it. The smell was mildly intoxicating and Jaune could feel his arousal rise, his eyes wandering on Pandemonica and her bum in the pencil skirt.
He was quickly snapped back by the same demoness who put her pencil mere inches from his eye. "Focus. This incentive is an aphrodisiac. Too weak to work on us demons, but perfect for mortal souls. Try using your Aura to stop its effect"
Jaune obeyed and tried to focus his Aura, but found it hard to do. Especially since he had no prior practice with it and little Jaune was getting active. But slowly, his body gained a subtle white glow, then he felt junior calm down as well. "I think...I did it," He said, looking at himself. The effects of the drug had certainly ceased, but he knew it wouldn't last.
"Good job, Jaune. Now, go and get Modeus." Pandemonica said, stepping to the side and allowing Jaune to enter the cave.
It was pretty deep, going for about 10-15 Meters before a light came on the other side and he could see a light on the other end. The boy stepped inside and his breath was taken away by the sight before him. "This is a cliche, but damn, I don't regret it"
Before him, on a bed made of animal furs, stood a demoness just like Monica, being around the same height with the same white hair, pale skin, red eyes - granted, hers had white hearts in them - and a pointy tail. As for differences, her hair was wavy and unruly with several cowlicks splattered with no pattern around. She had a left-swept fringe that stopped at eyebrow's height, as well as two long segments of hair in front of either ear that drop down to chest-height, ending in a zigzag shape. 2 black horns on her head, and hearts in her hair. Maybe they are hair clips?
On the side, neatly folded on a chair, were a black blazer with a red turtleneck sweater and a black pencil dress split on both sides. Why on a chair? Because right now she was not wearing them. Modeus was on her stomach, on her bed, in nothing but underwear. A black bra held her large bust, and Jaune's eyes took in all her forms. Aura protecting him from aphrodisiac or not, little Jaune was screaming.
The demoness saw him, putting up a small act as she smirked and giggled. "Me and you. Now" she said, inviting him next to her. Jaune, remembering the warnings, stood still. This made Modeus slightly pout as she stood up, revealing her entire half-clothed figure to Jaune. Small waist, wide hips surrounded by a black garter belt, large bust held by a black bra, and red stockings on her - PERFECTION!
"N-n-no thanks" Jaune replied, covering his eyes with one of his hands. "I am not here to...Elope. I am here t-to ask you something, actually," Jaune said, feeling her gaze on him. He could feel her lust, the sheer intensity driving the junior nuts at this point. "And if it isn't too much, can you put some clothes on?"
"Oh, you want to strip me yourself?" She asked, making Jaune flinch. This is why Pandemonica didn't want to enter with him, she knew how Modeus was. "Why bother? Just take off your pants and I will spread my legs for you to-"
"I was going to ask if you'd join my harem of demon girls!" Jaune quickly shouted out, cutting her off. There, he said it! "There, I said it! Hopefully, she doesn't kill me."
To his luck, however, Modeus looked more intrigued than anything. She leaned forward at him, but luckily Jaune kept his hand on his eyes. "You poor fool. They will tear you apart in the sheets. And I have to be a part of this"
Hearing those words, the Arc asked. "So is that a yes?"
"As long as you get to fuck me sometime soon, yes," Modeus said, making Jaune cheer inside of himself at having claimed another victory.
"Great! You are the second one I got until now. Pandemonica is waiting outside, we were looking for a place to sleep in overnight" Jaune said, then he remembered a certain detail. He had to play it safe, though. "And can you please dress up? I'd like to be at maximum capacity for when I, Uhm, elope...with you all"
"Sure," she said and quickly began to get her usual clothing on and even put out the aphrodisiac candles. "It's alright now, you can look. I even put out the candles, so you can drop your strange shield" The boy was relieved to hear those words, doing as told. The aphrodisiac was gone, but Modeus still looked sexy. Her uniform hugged her curves perfectly.
"What wouldn't I give to bury my face in those - No! Focus Jaune! Don't think with little Jaune!" Modeus giggled, making the boy deadpan. "You can read thoughts too?"
"Only those with lust in them. I wouldn't mind letting you borrow my pillows, you know~" Modeus stated, but the Arc just blushed at the offer.
"Monica! You can come in now!" Jaune shouted and soon enough the tired demon came inside the cave. She looked at Modeus.
"Hello, Modeus" she greeted.
"You do have Pan in your harem…" Modeus replied with mild surprise. "I thought you were bluffing, not going to lie. How did he convince you, Pan? Out of us all, you are the biggest prune"
"One word: Coffee"
"Ah" Modeus understood now. It made sense. "Makes sense. Anyway, you can sleep here as long as you want. I have some extra furs, but 2 of us will need to share- Dips on the boy!"
"My name is Jaune Arc, thank you, and don't I get a say in this?" Jaune asked, to which Pandemonica replied.
"Remember when I told you lust for sin is in our blood?" Jaune nodded. " It's hard to keep in check, so do be patient and forgive Modeus." The boy sighed. Well, there is no turning back now. "Besides, I'd rather sleep by myself, thank you very much"
"Let's just go to sleep…"
All 3 then got themselves comfortable. Pandemonica recommended not to take off their clothing due to Modeus, warning Jaune that she is a Bi, which was confirmed by the Lustful demon herself. The Arc laid back on the bed while Monica took the extra furs. Shortly after, Modeus made Jaune into her hugging pillow as she laid her head on his chest, one leg intertwined with his, and her arm across his chest. Her bosom was pushing into his side, which took Jaune all his will not to go crazy about. Her tail also wrapped around his leg, keeping him pinned.
"Yup. Officially, my chastity is going on borrowed fumes"
Back in the human world, in the kitchen, not long after breakfast, Juliet, Jaune's mother, felt her instincts kick in and scream at her that her boy was in danger, but as she peeked into the living room she saw him simply watch some TV with one of his sisters. She was unaware that it was just a bunch of disgusting flies pretending to be him. "Why do I feel like I will soon become a grandmother again, then?" She got a similar feeling when Adrian was born, yet this time it was related to her little bunny boy. "Strange...Does Jaune have a secret girlfriend he never told us about? Oh my God, did he leave her pregnant?"
Someone's running their gears.
Beel was walking through the forest, towards the place she planned to build the house. Her fly got to her, giving her the report. Safe to say, she needed her napkin hearing who Jaune got. "Modeus...Ok, not bad, not bad at all. I will need to see about getting some soundproof material then"
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. I love it when I can be cringy. That scene with Modeus was a golden opportunity. Whatcha say, Nerdy?
Nerdy: Bruh, stop jacking off when writing these.
Bullshit! We both know that is untrue. You are just talking random smack. 'Sides, you have to admit that was funny, especially mama Arc's instinct kicking in.
Note: relax guys, that was a joke regarding a bum in the oven. Jaune is FAR from that.
Nerdy: sureeeeeeeeeee. Phyrra gonna whoop his ass LOL.
We shall see, we shall see.
Current Girls achieved: Pandemonica, Modeus.
