REVIEWS:

Nerdy: wolfang21 - lol if you think this is easy then check out the helltaker game XD.

Random point: It was more or less by accident. Nerdy put the D there thinking Jaune's name was the same as his original inspiration source, that being Jeanne D'Arc, but I fixed it and kept the D there as the second name of sorts. What his name is, you will find out later. Although I like how you linked it with One Piece in a way, man, pretty clever.

HelpingHand: Wow, man, huge rev there. But to reply to all of it: First of all, thank you for the support. I and Nerdy work our asses off to get those out as often as possible, even if the size is not set. As for Jaune's situation, don't worry about it. This is not some cliche anime harem plot, and there will be some tense moments in which Jaune will have to man up and pull his pants up - if you get my gist. As for kids, well, we'll see. I also like the idea of Pyrrha being a part of the Harem, and we are also working on a plot to make it possible as well. We are getting revs that say she is overrated and unnecessary, but they are all from a Guest account I am sure comes from the same exact person. So if you are reading this, Guest, please try to state WHY you think Pyrrha is not necessary. I will be ready to receive your opinion. All girls will get some nickname as soon as we can come up with them, in one form or another. And as for ideas from the readers, I am open to them and so are my PMs.

Overlord multiversal: No sé qué es eso, así que ¿puedes intentar enviarme un mensaje de correo electrónico al respecto? No hablo español, pero utilizaré Google para traducir y comunicarme lo mejor que pueda.

Nerdy: Forest - I tried to tell him but nooooo he wouldn't listen.

Sq: FUCK NO! (Nerdy: Lol calm down m8. But yeah, we can't add Raven as it wouldn't fit the story or the characters involved. I hope you can understand Sq.)

Number 5


After another long day of walking and recruiting more demon girls to his harem, Jaune realized that the day was coming to a close. He was getting more and more used to the passage of time in hell. Fortunately for him, Malina and the others had already realized that before he did. Thanks to the demon gaming girl's guidance, they arrived at her apartment. It was to Jaune's surprise, not unlike a typical one he saw in the human world. This caused the boy to breathe out a sigh of relief. It consists of a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

As the apartment was Malina's, she was the one to decide who slept where. With the bed only able to hold two people, Malina decided that Pandemonica would be the one to sleep with her as she was one that Malina knew wouldn't try any antics. While those two slept on the bed, Cerberus and Modeus slept on the floor next to it. Jaune unfortunately was left to sleep on the couch, which he quickly realized was drenched in the smell of sweat and alcohol. Still, though, the boy tried his best to fall asleep and eventually managed. The next morning he woke up around what he assumed to be 5 in the morning if the clock was anything to go by. But instead of a good wake-up, he found himself with Modeus on top of him.

Thankfully this time she wasn't clinging to him so he simply pushed her onto the couch as he got up. Suddenly his stomach growled which reminded him that he hasn't eaten anything since he first arrived in the demon world. This being the case, and realizing that he now was in a similar situation to his one back at home where he was surrounded by many sisters he had to cook for, Jaune decided to go to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. He looked through the drawers and the refrigerator to see what was available and to his surprise, he found items that he usually ate back at home.

With that in mind, he decided to make scrambled eggs and bacon. Once he started cracking the eggs though he noticed something very off. The outer layer of the egg was black while the inner yolk was blood red. On top of this, he discovered that the bacon was blue colored. This really made the boy hesitate to cook them since he had no idea what they were made of but considering that everything else he could eat would most likely be the same, and the fact that he was growing weaker and weaker from not eating for so long didn't help, so he took the chance and cooked them anyway.

"Oi, what is cooking?" The Arc turned around to meet the first of the girls who apparently woke up for breakfast, that being the latest addition to the Harem - Malina. She was not wearing her outfit from yesterday, instead, she was wearing a simple black tank top with black pants on her, most likely her pajamas. She was also barefooted. "You making something to eat?"

"Yeah, I thought I might as well since you are letting us stay here and you accepted to main my Harem and all that" Jaune said, working on the eggs and bacon? He had no idea what he was cooking at the moment, but he assumed it is the hellish equivalent of them. No harm in asking. "Hey, Malina, mind telling me what is up with the eggs and bacon? They don't look like this in the human realm."

The demoness raised her gaze a bit, looking at him with her usual irritated mood. Could it also be from waking up on the wrong side of the bed? "Why? Never had Azure Salamander eggs and meat before?" At this, the Arc stopped moving the food in the pan around.

"Azure Salamander?" He echoed. "Uhm. Mind explaining what an Azure Salamander is?" He asked again, making the demoness let out a long sigh.

"Fine. You see, Azure Salamanders are common livestock here in Hell. They are usually those big, nasty blue lizards the size of a human." She then took a seat at the table. "Their eggs and meat are good. Granted, harvesting them is not too pleasant."

"Why's that?" Jaune asked, but he soon regretted it.

"Because those things have quite the poisonous saliva, that's why." She dryly replied, making Jaune gulp. The size of a human, poisonous, and a lizard. And he was going to be eating that? "Now can you please give me a Vodka from the cabinet? I feel sober."

"S-sure." Jaune replied, reaching for the cabinet and opening it, immediately seeing the many bottles of Vodka on display "Just how much does she even drink? How come she hasn't had liver failure until now?" "Here." He handed her the bottle, deciding against trying to convince her not to. Her overall mood made it clear to the boy it was useless to try and convince her to stop drinking. Plus, he had experience with one of his sisters regarding not telling a girl to stop something. It always ended badly for him.

Malina simply took the bottle and took a big swing off it, letting out a sigh as she put the bottle down. "I hope there are a lot of games where we are going. And drinks" She said, then she eyed the Arc closer.

"I cannot guarantee the drinks, but the games I can offer," Jaune said, looking at the eggs and bacon, even though they were produced by a lizard, he took in the smell. It smelled pretty normal to him. He finished the first plate, placing it in front of Malina who just looked at it dryly. "Have a good meal" He offered, then went to make the rest for the girls.

Malina simply looked down at her plate, seeing the dark-crimson yolk and the bacon on the side, she took a fork and poked it a bit. It was well cooked, she had to admit. She cut a piece with her fork and put it in her mouth, sharp teeth visible for just a second before she closed them around it.

It was good. Very good.

When she cooks she always ends up either burning the food or undercooking it, ending up ordering something, drinking, and playing games. It was a pleasant feeling to have something good for a chance. "You're a good cook." She said, continuing to eat her breakfast.

The Arc let out a small chuckle hearing the demoness praise him. Well, if the way to a man's heart was through the stomach who says it is not the same for a woman as well? "Thanks. You gotta learn how to cook from young days at my house, especially when living with 7 sisters-"

He stopped when he heard Malina cough, going away from the pan to pat her on the back "7 sisters?!" She asked in shock. "Is your father some insatiable freak for making your mother carry so many brats? I can barely stand one sister!"

Jaune did not know how to reply to that and simply shrugged. "I guess they wanted a big family?"

"Or they couldn't keep it in their pants well enough"

Deciding not to try and argue, Jaune returned to his pan, listening to the sound of frying eggs. "I was also the only boy, so...yeah, it was rough."

"I can imagine. Siblings can be such a pain, I swear." Malina said, taking a swing of Vodka then continuing with her breakfast.

"Yeah. But at the end of the day, you still love them. They are your family, after all. Your kin and blood." Jaune said, keeping his back to Malina. He didn't notice how her expression seemed to have softened hearing him say that, but she recovered quickly and kept eating.

"Something is smelling good" Modeus said as she too entered the kitchen, followed by Cerberus. "Cooking? You are more and more of a catch"

Modeus was trying to tease him again. But by this time Jaune knew how to make her leave him. "Should I make yours heart-shaped, Modeus? They would definitely look good with your pretty eyes" Malina actually spat some of her Vodka hearing that, Cerberus goggling behind the now blushing lustful demon.

"M-my eyes?! What kind of kink is that, you degenerate?" She said aloud, trying to compose herself. Malina snorted as she caught on to what Jaune did.

"Clever move, Arc. Clever move"

"Thank you. Now, where is Monica? Breakfast is nearly ready and it would be best if she joined us as well so her food doesn't get cold" He asked, then Cerberus chimed in.

"She is still asleep! Pretty predictable of her considering her overall personality. " Jaune nodded, then finished the rest of the breakfast, putting them on plates.

"Here. Eat up and don't wait for me and Monica. I'll go wake her up" He said before leaving the kitchen and heading to the bedroom. Normally, he'd be against going inside a girl's room unannounced. But he didn't exactly have the luxury of time. He was hungry as well, after all. He knocked on the door, expecting an answer, but only picked up a tired groan from the other side of the door.

Opening it lightly, he walked towards the bed where Monica was sleeping. She was on her stomach, hugging the pillow with a bit of drool coming from the edge of her mouth. Arc lightly shook her. "Monica, wake up. Breakfast is ready"

She groaned, not wanting to wake up. "5 more minutes…"

Thankfully, his life with 7 sisters made him able to deal with sleepy types. "We have coffee" all it took was to know what they enjoyed. It worked, seeing as Pandemonica jumped awake.

"Coffee? Where?" She asked, but then she saw his goofy grin and read his thoughts. She sighed, then got up from the bed. "That was a dirty trick, Jaune."

"All's fair in love and war, correct?" He replied randomly, giving Monica something to get revenge with.

"And which one are we in? Pretty sure it is not war" She replied, making the Arc blush. She let out a tired giggle seeing him. "Teasing you is fun, but you are right, I needed to wake up. Thanks."

"Y-you're welcomed" Jaune replied, his blush going down as he and the demon girl went to the kitchen, joining the others in breakfast. Pan was disappointed to hear Malina didn't have any coffee in her apartment, but then she simply took it as one more reason to follow Jaune.

Breakfast was finished swiftly, the girls putting their plates in the sink. Jaune decided to wash them while the rest helped Malina pack. The demons used some backpacks enhanced with magic which allowed them to fit more stuff than normal in. Jaune had to admit something like that would be useful, but for now, they had to go.

He doesn't know what Malina took exactly from her place, but he won't pry. "Any last words to your home, Malina?" Jaune asked.

"Yeah. This" and so she stuck her middle finger out at it.

"Lovely" Jaune replied with a sarcastic sigh. "Let's go then. Can't wait to return to the human world where the eggs and bacon don't come from poisonous lizards."


With Malina's house now behind them, the group heads for the stairs to find the next demon. Jaune starts to get curious.

*Monica, where is the next girl we're looking for?" Jaune asked as he was wondering how far they would need to travel this time.

"Ugh… it's actually nearby… we just need to go down one level and she'll be there…" The secretary looking demon said.

"Sorry Monica, Malina didn't have coffee so I couldn't prepare any. But I promise to get you as much as you want when we arrive at my place in the human world." Jaune reassured Pandemonica. As the group walked up the stairs, they quickly arrived at the next level of hell.

"Oh, I smell smoke!" The left head of Cerberus said.

"I smell vodka!" The second head said.

"That means she's nearby!" The third head said.

"Oh no…" Malina said, dreading the one ahead. "I know who this is."

"Who?" Jaune asked, but the demon girl seemed pretty upset about it. However, she still replied.

"My sister, Zdrada. She is a big pain that loves to smoke all the time and hates me and my games." The sour demon stated. "I guess I should've expected this since the next level is where she works."

"What is on the next level? I know that different levels of Hell have different souls who committed some type of sin in life." Jaune asked.

"The next floor houses those guilty of starting fires just to cause wanton destruction or loss of life," Pandemonica answered, offering Jaune his reply.

"So, the next level of Hell houses those guilty of arson." Jaune thought. "It's ironic in a weird sense that those who set fire to places and people will end up being dragged to the fieriest place ever. But I guess that is how fate works. I must admit, Hell has some strange and cruel ways to punish people" Jaune thought, and for once, Pandemonica was not reading them.

"Yeah, which fits her well. My sister loves to smoke so much that her level is the only place where she can truly smoke without anyone yelling at her" Malina stated. "I included. If we end up taking her back, at least promise me you won't let her smoke anywhere near me."

"Pretty sure I would ask of her to not smoke inside, period," Jaune said, making Malina look at him strangely and groan in disappointment. Then again, he didn't know her sister and how she acts.

"Believe me, one week with her, and you will be taking the knife out of my hand to off yourself" Malina stated. "Or off her. Or better yet, you could off me so I won't have to deal with her anymore."

"Is that really necessary? I mean, just how bad is she, really?"


"Ok, I still am curious just how is she as bad as Malina claims to be, but I am now even more curious on how she is capable of breathing in there," Jaune asked as the group was before the next level of Hell. This one, however, seemed impossible to go into. Monica explained that this level of Hell tortures the ones inside by drowning them in smoke with burning particles that burn their lungs from within. Everyone there is also tied upside-down, making breathing even harder.

"Every demon has its own abilities, dork," Malina stated. "My sister can breathe smoke like it's air easily. Just like how I can drink alcohol like it is water without having to fear liver failure, she also doesn't need to fear her lungs giving out on her."

"Right," Jaune said, then he looked ahead. "How am I supposed to go in there even?" He asked, then he turned to them seeking an answer. "Don't you girls have any type of fancy spell to get me through? I can deal with the burning ambers using my Aura, but the smoke itself is another story."

"Here," Malina said, handing him what looked like a gas mask. "I use this whenever I go to visit her. Which is nearly never. It should last enough to get you to Zdrada and back"

"Thank you, Malina." He said, then he put on the mask, making sure it was properly strapped in before turning to the smoke. "If I don't come back, please let my family know that I went and got smoked." He said before heading in, feeling the heat around him and the embers in the air. His Aura was protecting him from the embers and the mask was filtering out the smoke, but things were still hard to make out.

The smoke was thick, hard to see through it even as he navigated through. How was he supposed to find a demon girl in here? This, out of all places he has been before, has to be the hardest one to walk through. He also doesn't have any of the other girls with him, so he was also at the mercy of anything that lurked in here as well. He prayed to God he made it out of here only smelling bad.

After what felt like quite the track, he eventually became able to make out a figure in the smoke. Short, like the other girls, and had a tail and horns visible. That had to be the one they were talking about. It had to be Zdrada. Jaune picked up his pace a little, walking closer to the demon girl, but as soon as he got at a certain distance, she turned around and looked at him.

"Well, what do we have here? How are you, blondie?" She asked, looking at him. She had the common traits of being short, a tail, red eyes, and white hair. Her hair covered her left eye while 2 short black horns grew out of her head that were rounded inwards. She had black eye-shadow along with piercings on her ears, nose, and mouth, and some kind of bracelets on her arms, one reaching her fingers. Accessories also included a cross-shaped necklace around her neck, which Jaune found interesting considering that she is a demon, and a choker around her neck. Her attire was less professional looking than the rest, consisting of a red tuckered shirt with black skinny jeans and knee length heeled boots.

Jaune looked at her for a bit, trying to wrap it around him how she was able to breath in here without issue. "I am quite good, thank you for asking. I am having a bit of difficulty breathing, but I am alright overall."

"Good to hear. So, mind telling me why you have my sister's gas mask, or should I force it out of you?" She asked, looking at Jaune with narrowed eyes. The cigarette in her hand lit itself up, letting out more smoke to fill the room before she took a long breath from it and blew it in his face. That smoke felt really hot to Jaune, and not in the good way.

"Wait! Malina actually gave it to me so I can reach you!" He quickly said, earning her attention.

"How do you know Malinka?" She asked, using the nickname she gave her sister. "Or rather, how come she gave you something in the first place? My sister is not the gift-giving type."

"Well, you see, ummm…" Jaune rubbed the back of his head nervously as he tried to find his words. He couldn't exactly tell her that her sister was in his Harem and whatnot. Pretty sure no sister would like the idea of sharing a man with a family member. Did that count as incest? "She is - I mean...You see-"

Zdrada let out a laugh seeing him, then when she calmed down she simply looked at him. "Did the Hellcat catch your tongue, blondie? Spit it out!"

"Your sister is in my harem!" "Wait, what the hell was that? The words just came out of my mouth and I couldn't control them!" Jaune thought in a small panic as he then looked at Zdrada's face. She had a smirk on it and her eyebrow was slightly raised. Was she actually impressed?

"Cool. I'm in." At that, Jaune did a double takea on her words.

"Huh? Wait, what?" Zdrada blew some smoke again, but this time to the ground so as to not harm Jaune.

"I said I am in. If you managed to lay my sister, then that has to mean you got some balls to you. Or that you are a nerd who enjoys her games" Zdrada said, then she took another drag of her cigar, this time blowing the smoke through her nose. "Either way, I am still going to leech onto you."

"Why do I have the feeling I will regret this?" Jaune muttered the question.

"Ha! Too late to regret now, blondie, you are not going to get rid of me that easily!"


"How the fuck did you pull that off?" Malina asked as Jaune came out of the smoke with Zdrada in tow. The sour demon could already feel the dread of having to endure her sister's constant mocking and attitude for who knows how long.

"Luck?" Jaune answered, taking off his mask. This allowed Zdrada to look at his face, giving a whistle.

"Hey, you are not actually that bad looking, blondie. How about we ditch those harlots and go have fun ourselves?" She asked, making Jaune perk up at the question. Especially since the look she was giving him was making the Arc sweat, and it was not from the heat of this level.

"Zdrada, please try to refrain from breaking him. We still need him in one piece to finish the journey" Pan said, being Jaune's saving grace from the demoness. Seriously, although Jaune was taller than all of them he still got easily flustered and put down by their teasing alone. Zdrada let out a slight chuckle, then she took a drag of her cigar again before blowing the smoke out.

"Have it as you want, Pandemonica. If this is really a Harem, then I half-expect him to do us sooner or later." The smoking demon said, enticing the attention of Modeus.

"Oh, I hope so" Modeus replied, adding her own comment to the mix much to Jaune's despair.

"Chastity, it was nice knowing you" Jaune said in his mind, reminding himself once again that his chastity is living on borrowed time. The Arc could only imagine what his mother would say in this situation. On one hand, she will be ecstatic at the thought of more grandbabies, and another she might just kill him for sinning so hard. Let's be real, a Harem is not exactly sin free.

"Shouldn't we be, like, on our way?" Malina said, bringing the attention back to the journey. "We still got more people to add."

At this, Zdrada looked back at her sister. "You don't say, Malinka. So, I was just another conquest for the stud? Ha!" She started to laugh, blowing smoke as she did so. "Figures. Can't wait to see who you get and how badly you might screw up. You know, if this gets too hard, you can always take a dive down to Tartarus and meet Ryan to get-"

"I already did that, actually, by accident." Jaune said, making the smoking demon stop in her tracks.

"Well, whip me from head to toe. You survived as well?" She asked, but Malina then scoffed.

"Really, whipping you? You'd enjoy that, wouldn't you?" Malina said, making Jaune a bit confused. However, that changed once he realized what Malina meant.

"Damn right I would!" Zdrada admitted with a laugh. "Hopefully you can keep up, blondie."

"Oh, she's one of those." Jaune thought, knowing full well that he is now in a deep pickle. Can he even satisfy her if it comes down to it? Maybe not. Then again, he did hear that when things get started men can change a bit. Who knows? Maybe he has it in him.

"Regardless of Zdrada's sexual preferences, we should really move while we still have daylight" Pandemonica said, then she turned to Cerberus. "If the sisters start to bicker, please separate them"

"Roger, roger!" The triple demon replied.


The group of 8 made their way through Hell, walking down the stairs towards the next demon girl. Pandemonica gave Jaune a quick rundown of her, saying that he won't have a hard time getting along at all, but to also be careful around her as well. More so than them.

She told Jaune that the next one didn't have a job of sorts, being retired from activity, but still retained some semblance of power to herself. This didn't make the Arc feel better in the least.

But as they reached the next level where the demoness was, the Cerberus triples picked up a smell. "It smells funny here!" They said in unison. "It smells like angels!"

"Angels?" Jaune said, trying to confirm if he heard that right. Angels in Hell? Maybe it was a recently fallen one? Did they still fall even today? The Arc looked around as the entire group got themselves prepared for a fight more than anything. It seems demons and angels really didn't get along with one another.

But he didn't expect the angel to show itself so easily. As the group was walking, they turned around the corner, Jaune in front of them with his shield out, and the Arc bumped into someone. The light of their halo had him blinded for a bit, but then he was able to make out who it was.

"Oww." She whined as she collapsed on the ground. The being before Jaune contrats the demon girls by having slightly darker skin with black hair and blue eyes, wearing a white, almost militaristic uniform, with yellow lining on her collar, sleeves, gloves, and down the middle of her shirt. She also had a necklace under the collar of her uniform, which meets to hold a square cross with leaves protruding from under it. Her attire finished itself with a pair of pants held by a belt with white boots with straps on the top.

"Um, hi?" Jaune said, getting her attention. The girl then looked at him, then at the girls behind him, and immediately jumped up.

"Oh my God, what is a human doing down here? More so, why are you in the company of so many demons as well? Are you studying as well? What subject? Demonology, Modern Sin, Laws of Hell?" She asked in quick succession, holding out a notebook with a pen in her other hand. "Please do not leave any detail out!"

"Uhmmm. What?"


Back in the human realm, the Arc household was quiet. Not long ago they had breakfast, and not long ago they had the talk with Jaune, his father, Nicholas Arc, was thinking about his decision. He was not blind man, he knew that his son was really wishing for this life, but he knew it was not the right one for him.

His uncle gave everything for it, including the chance to have a family. He vanished one day and never came back, Crocea Mors being found at his house. The Arc patriarch was trying to convince himself that he made the right choice, but he is aware that he cannot stop Jaune forever. One day, he will grow up, become an adult, and leave. When that happens he will seek training and pursue the Huntsman life anyway. Or worse, pursue another, less respectable career.

Nicholas shaked his head at the thought. "No. Jaune will not end up like that. He is a good boy, and I know my son. He won't ever dare commit such sins" Oh, if only he knew where his son was now.


Beelzebub was hard at work, using magic and darkness from the Abyss to create the new home Jaune and the Harem will live in. If ever someone passed by she would just throw on a human disguise and explain the strange things happening as being her semblance. It was a wonder how easy that made people leave her be.

She was currently putting together the foundation when her fly reported in the latest capture. "Zdrada? I remember that girl, a real troublemaker. Hopefully her smoking addiction is gone, but just in case I will make sure to make the ventilation system better than originally planned and add an outdoor smoking area for her." The fly then buzzed again, letting her know about the more recent development. At this time, she dropped her calm expression and got her handkerchief out. "An angel? Oh my...This will be interesting. Well, I guess she counts."


Done! This is chapter 5 of Arc of Hell! This means I have enough time to kick back, relax, grab some Pepsi, and enjoy a good movie.

Nerdy: I've linked you specific movies for you to watch more than a DOZEN times and you still haven't so stfu _.

Those are not movies, man, they are documentaries. I like stuff with some action in them, or at least something more artistic. Like the Shawshank Redemption. That was a helluva good movie.

Nerdy: *facepalm* anyway, Merry Christmas everyone.

And a happy new year!
