Okay, heads up. This part is not in the Main Game but my own little idea for a story plot. Kind of an first experience idea with the Seven Deadly Sin Brothers (SDSB's) in the morning kind of thing. What would the first morning be like with the SDSB's?
Let's find out, shall we?
Everything felt like a dream at this point.
I was magically dragged down into an underworld called the Devildom. Where a demon lord called Diavolo, wants to create peace between the three realms.
To do this, he plans to create a student program. Where two of each beings from the three realms to hopefully coexist with each other at each of the realms for a single school year. And lucky me, I was one of the chosen students for hell.
Along with three others, that I have not yet met. Oh and to top it off, I'm a female living in a household of men. Handsome, dangerously, devilish young men of the seven sins. And the all knowable Lucifer is one of them, who apparinitly happens to have six younger brothers.
So far I have only met six of the seven. Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, and Gluttony. The only one left is Sloth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I was abruptly woken to a loud bagging sound. My body jerked upward with a trembus shock throughout my body.
"Wake up, human!" Slightly familiar voice yelled behind the wooden door on the other end of the apartment size room. "Up and addum!"
I could hear him jiggling the knob, trying to get into the room I was in.
Like a child, I cowardly huddle in the covers over my chest, fearing my life and try not to make a sound.
"Hey! Why ya lock the door?!" the voice rang with rage, banging on the door once more again before giving up. "Whatever, you better be up, Human! Breakfast is ready! Ya better be ready for school or else Beel eats everything and you'll be left behind as well!" I could hear him walk away, "See ya at the dinin' room, Human!"
It took me a moment for my mind to recollect what just happened and where I was at. Last night was a bit hazy like a dream. Unfortunately, I was wrong, more of a realist nightmare of the twilight zone.
I glanced around the room I was in.
It was a small room covered in vines and plant life on the walls and ceiling. Lanterns and candles hanging from a tree that sprouted in the floorboard by the head of the bed. Magically, light aluminate the moment I rise out of the comfort of my new bed. It was breathtaking. It made my room back home feel dull and uncreative unlike this one. I felt like I have awoken to a fairy tale dream of some sort. But this was real and mine to own for the one year probation.
I wonder around the room a bit. Admiring the furniture. Sliding my fingers agents anything and everything in the room that I could touch. The wooden study desk. The fabrics. Even the long sofa in the corner with a twenty-five inch tv on an entertainment stand before it. It was like they wanted me to feel comfortable. There was even a large wooden wardrobe. I carefully inspect it to see if it has a face or open to another land filled with snow. Disappointingly, it was just a regular old wardrobe with nothing but five similar uniforms and a full body mirror. That's all.
I sigh. "Not everything has to be perfectly magical," I lightly chuckled to myself.
Eventually, I got myself ready for the day. As fast as possible. I didn't bother taking a shower or bath that was provided in the room as well. I felt like it was unnecessary for the moment. I didn't feel dirty. Plus, I was not sure how late I'll be and what time I should be going with the lack of windows in the room. Why are there no windows here?
I was in the dark with everything. Given little information for something causing my mental state to have anxiety and disoriented. I didn't know what I was doing. I don't even know what's going to happen.
I gave myself a good long look in the full size mirror provided in the room in my plan wardrobe. The tightness in my chest was unbearable. I could see a tall, ghostly white, dark hair girl with thick red frame glasses grimly staring back at me in the reflection.
Wearing the same uniform (that was provided) as the brothers. Instead of the black slacks, it was replaced with a knee-high pitch black skirt with red stripes on its sides. But due to my long legs, they were slightly above the measurement requirements. I try my best to tug and stretch it down a bit more. But the fabric was so thick that it was impossible and embarrassing.
Giving up, I clamp on a rose red ribbon to my collar that matches my glasses frames.
"Maybe I can ask for slacks, if possible," I said to myself. Pulling my thick hair back and hosting it into a ponytail.
If I'm going to a new school, I need a new look, I thought to myself before I examined one last overfew in the mirror. I looked alright, I thought as I embraced myself to walk up the door.
I took a few deep breaths. You can do this, I encourage myself before unbolting the door and pulling it slightly open to stick my head out.
For now, the whole hallway seems empty. But my nerves were in high gear at this point. There is no turning back now.
As I made my way down. I could hear laughter. Mix with birkerings and snickers as I made my way down until I reached an open room.
Lighted candles blazed the entire room of gold. Skull heads of different types of species of animals mounted over large doom windows. That I could see clearly that the sun has not risen yet. But it was really strange as the moon was still large and present by peeking through the wind.
Is it still nighttime? I baffled. Unaware the once live room became gravely quiet by my presence.
"Ah Nova, you arrive just in time," said Satan, the first one to greet me.
I snapped my gaze from the window towards the great dining table in the middle of the room along with ten eyes staring at me. Feeling the hot spot light shining upon me.
"Take a free seat, Nova," Satan juster, "Any free seat would do. We won't be leaving anytime soon. So come and have your fill before it's all gone." His eyes trail to one of his youngest brothers, Beelzebub. Who sat at the other end of the table with piled and piles of food around him.
Meekly, I nod my head, as I timidly made my way to the table.
It was a huge dining table. Five long chairs stood tall in a row of two sides of the table. Five brothers already seated.
Staring off from the back end sat Satan, the fourth born and the demon of Wrath.
Next to him was Asmodeus, the fifth born and the demon of Lust.
One seat over with piles of food around him was Beelzebub, the sixth born and the demon of Gluttony.
Beside him almost off the edge of the dining table was Leviathan, the third born and the demon of Envy. Who seems to block everyone out with his foam headphones muffling his ears.
And Mammon the second born, the demon of Greed. He was single sitting by himself on the other end of the table across from Asmodeus. Alone and a bit annoyed.
Everyone was here except for two.
"Oh, oh! Sit next to me! Sit next to Meeeeee!" Asmodeus called out, as he waved his arm in the air to grab my attention.
His other hand was on an empty chair beside him and Beelzebud. The space was filled with the pile of food that if I sat there, my arm and whole right side would be pressed up against the demon of lust.
I could feel the uneasy intention in Asmodeus's lustful eyes.
"Thank you," I said, pulling a coy smile on my face, "But that side looks a bit crowded." I pointed at the lump of food, seemingly had quickly decreased quickly then I expected.
Asmodeus gave me a pitiful look.
"Aw, come on," he begged, his eyes locked with mine. I could see that honey drop sparkle gleam. "Everyone adores sitting by me. Even you can't resist as well," he hummed.
Again, I refuse his offer. "Thanks but no thanks."
Asmodeus draw back. "That's odd," he mutters. Looking baffled as he went and pulled out a tiny mirror to check himself.
Even Satan was suspiciously shocked as well. But didn't say anything as he turned his attention to a bowl of porridge before him.
My eyes trace to Leviathan, who sat quietly next to his youngest brother Beelzebud. He didn't make a single glance nor acknowledgement towards me.
His ears cup over by large foam headphones. As if he didn't want to be bothered while eating a plate of what seems like green and blue scramble eggs.
Yick…. My stomach twisted at the sight of it and turned my eyes to the four remaining seats on the other side.
Silently, I awkwardly made my way to a seat next to Mammon, who sat straight across from Asmodeus. Seeing that his side was bare.
But the moment I got close. Mammon grabbed a hold of the bottom of the chair and flipped in onto its back.
"Ops," he mischievously grin, "That chair is defective. You should set somewhere else. How about that corner over there," he pointed with that stupid grin of his.
My ears slightly burn but I try to act as a bigger person and stand tall as possible. "Well luckily, there are other seats," I glared at him. I can tell he didn't like my reply and rolled his eyes.
I went to take a seat at the end of the corner away two seats away from Mammon, but in front of Leviathan.
Still, the demon of Envy didn't glance up, but I can see he shifted his plate of food a bit away. As if he was avoiding me.
Satan glared at his older brother, Mammon. "That was not called for," he growled.
Asmodeus giggled beside Satan, "If Lucifer saw that, he would have hung you by your toe in the courtyard."
Mammon rolled his eyes and childishly mocked them by sticking out his tongue before carrying on with his plate of food.
"Whatever," he mumbled, "I think it's odd a human is eating' at the table then served upon. It's a bit taboo, don't ya think?"
I could feel the eyes once again glancing at me as I sink in my seat. "Y-you know…. I can go take my breakfast and eat somewhere else if everyone is uncomfortable with me being here." I suggested. Ready to make a run for it.
"Nonsense," said Satan, "You are safer here than anywhere else. Trust me, we have more self control than those low-level demons out there."
"Mhm~" Asmodeus hummed as he leaned over the table with a sly smile. "Trust us, you are in good hands. Unless you want us to eat you," he winked at me.
A chill rushed up my spine as I jerked up from my seat, "I think it's best I go."
"Sit back down," Satan said in an almost orderly tone of voice. That I mindlessly obeyed. "We are just harmless messing with you, right?" He shot a slanted glare at his young lustful brother.
"Yes," Asmodeus grunted with annoyance, "Besided, Lucifer won't allow anything happen to you under Diavolo's law."
"Speaking about Lucifer, where is he?" I asked, curious why the eldest was not alongside his brothers at the table.
"He is out doing some morning errands right now," Asmodeus twirl his wrist in the air like it was an usual thing, "He'll be the first one up and the last one to go to sleep."
Satan nodded.
"So you better be on your toes and not doing anything to get yourself in trouble by roaming around late," he warned me, "If Lucifer catches you or you are not in your room at admidibal time. You would be gravely punished. And if he is still in a bad mood the next morning, you better keep your head low."
I gulped and nodded my head. "And what about the seventh brother? I haven't seen him yet,"
They all became grimsomily silent. Beelzebub stopped his gorging himself with the food that was on his plate and around him.
Satan cleared his throat with the strange uneasiness in the room. "It's best you worried about that some other time. Help yourself with something to eat first. You need some energy for your start of the year."
"Or fatten' her up more likely," Mammon snicker as he bite into a strip of dry meat to prove his cannibal point.
With a clenched stomach, I knology agreed before looking at the food before me . It looked…. unappetizing. The food had a strange coloration but the aroma says otherwise. I went and helped myself with what seemed like porridge, just like Satan has. The oats looked gritty and there were big black spots in them.
With all this stress, my stomach still quietly rumbled with hunger. I don't recall the last time I ate besides breakfast back at home.
Oh how I miss my daily pop toasties or bowl of carbox cereal. Or treat myself with a nice crispy wifey waffles. Do they even survey those kinds of stuff down the Devildom? I thought to myself.
I took a good glob of my porridge in the spoon that's provided and took a bite. My stomach cringe and whatever I put in my mouth was bland, salty and flavorless. But sometimes else. A sandy texter mix along with it. I try to swallow and now picking at my food with my spoon.
Mammon leaned over towards as he rested his chin in the palm of his hand. Watching me with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Is something the matter?" He hummed. "Is the food not to your liking, Human?"
I took a deep breath. Don't let him get to you, I told myself before forcing a smile on my face. "No it's fine," I said with a perk in my tone. Scooping up another helping in my spoon to force myself to eat. Yeck! Just get it over with already!
Mammon's grin widened. "Oh really?" He chuckled.
I raised a brow what he was trying to do. Did he do something with the food?
Satan sternly shot a glare at his older brother again, "What are you going on about?" Even he looked concerned a bit as well.
Beelzebub, on the other hand, was not paying attention. For he had lifted the pot of porridge and poured it down into his mouth.
Mammon leaned back in his seat, "Oh nothin'. I thought it was interestin' to see a human eating spiders in their porridge,"
"Spiders?!" I gasped, my spoon slipped between my fingers and clank and plop back into my bowl.
Satan looked a bit confused. Mainly at my behavior. "What's wrong with that?" he asked, "Spiders are recommended in porridge. Mainly black widows."
My stomach twisted as I went to reach for my water.
Beelzebub lifted up his head, noticing the food was now getting bare. "Still hungry…" he mumbled.
I didn't hesitate to give him my bowl. "Here! Take it! I'm actually not that hungry and must have grabbed too much," I held up a nervously smile. But the back in my mind I was screaming. Oh God, save me before they kill me!
The demon of Gluttony gladly took my bowl away and was pouring the rest of the food into his mouth.
As I watch him eat. I noticed how maclellan and well fit his body was. He was not fat. Or seem to be. He looked about average with broad shoulders.
Then his eyes caught mine.
"What?" He gruntly said.
I felt my cheeks burn and looked down at my empty plate. I didn't know how to respond but keep my head and gaze down.
"Well seems like everyone is here and accounted for," said a stern yet cool voice, Lucifer.
Everyone stood up from their seats and stood in possession like soldiers. Even Leviathan, who quickly pulled off his headphones off and followed in salute with his brothers. I, unforchenly, was the last and stumbled at my attempt foolishly.
The brothers snicker but soon was cut with the eldest glare. The whole room became cold and intense. Losing it's warm and welcoming embrace.
"Nova, I see you have made yourself home in the Lamentation," he lightly smiled, "And the uniform seems to be fitting you as well." He approached my side. I could feel his red gaze scaring me down. He lightly hummed. "May need a bit of adjustment here and there." I could feel his glove fingers grazing my uniform skirt. Making me slightly squirm where I stood. "Something that Asmodeus can handle. Are you ready for the start of your freshman year of RAD?"
I nervously smiled, "I-I think I am, sir."
A smile smeared on his face. "Good girl," he patted my head like an obedient dog, "but try to be more confident. You are in our world now, not your world. Fear is looked down upon as weak and the weak do die so easily here."
A chill ran up my spine but I calmed down at the felt of his gloved hand resting on my head. I don't know why but I felt like I was some sort of pet. And I kind of…. liked it.
"Yes sir," I said, standing tall in my possession like a soldier. Something I always watch my father do when I was very little and he would occasionally teach me when we were very close before everything changed.
Mammon made a loud coughing sound, "Ass kisser."
Everyone shot him a glare. Soon the comfortable feeling left the top of my head.
Intense rise even more as Lucifer slowly approached where Mammon stood. At the corner of my eye, I could see the demon of Greed was sweating and trying to pull an innocent smile. But Lucifer was no fool and lean towards his brother ear and spoke in a slow calm tone for all to hear.
"As for you, Mammon. I expect you to make sure Nova feels safe and comfortable throughout her year here. And I expect she come home just the way she left."
Mammon was adam tenstly moved, "Y-yes sir!" He chirped out.
"You better," Lucifer continued on, keeping his formal calm mainers, "because if I see a hair miss place on her head. Her uniform intact or a single mark on her. I would hold you accalable and you would be severely punished in ways you could imagine. Do I make myself clear?"
Mammon eyes widen with fear, "YES SIR!"
Lucifer light made a small chuckles before stepping back and turned his back agents on us all.
I saw a sharp glare from Mammon's eyes and stuck his tongue at me in a "I don't like you!"
I apparently did the same with him. Pulling down the bottom lip of my right eye. Something me and my sister back home would do with each other back.
Mammon's face was baffled and teeth grit with rage.
"If you two don't stop acting like children, I might as well treat you both as children that you are," said Lucifer, his back still turn on us and not once looked behind.
Both Mammon and I sprout back into our situation and both yelled out, "Yes sir!" With sweat dripping from our brows.
Lucifer gave one last chuckled, "Very well, everyone clean up and get ready. We leave at ten."
Everyone scurry and gather everything as if it was a daily thing. I stood there shocked and unsure what to do. But before I knew it, the table was bare and florist with flowers and candles with a tablecloth cloak over it. Even all the chairs were nearly lined up to each other.
That's when I realized the other brothers were already gone and out of sight. Except for one, Lucifer.
He noticed I was still standing there like the idiot I seem to be. But he just smiled, slightly.
"Remember what I told you?" He asked, eyes still stern on me.
"Uh….. fear is looked down as weak and the weak dies?" I said sheepishly.
"Correct," he said, "But there are two other major things I forgot to inform you. Naiveness and curiosity would also get you killed here." Then his eyes glow a blood red, "Be careful who you trust and never stick your nose in places you should not wander into. I don't take too kindly to rule breakers."
After that, he walked off. Leaving me baffled, confused and scared to even move than I ever was before.
