Twiphase: this will be a short draft of a fanfic involving Mammon as my reply to a review I received for chapter 1 of this fanfic
to mlswoohoo: in case you have not seen my previous SI isekai stories, all of the ideas I presented in this fanfic are clearly outside of my prefered style of writing. I am not exactly good with writing stories that makes me feel that I am manipulating the action of the MC I made up. And to prove it, here is a poorly written rough draft of a fanfic I hope someone with better experience can write instead of me.
(the following consists of a completely made up placeholder story title and chapter title. And again, this idea is up for grabs who are interested in writing a story where they wake up one day as Mammon)
Unorthodox Chronicles: Reincarnated as the Embodiment of Greed?
Chapter 1: Unseenable Generosity within Unspeakably Greedy Clothing
Narrator POV: Overdramatic prologue that consists of big build ups with teeny tiny pay offs...
Within the Seven Rings of the Inferno, each of the Deadly Sin's domain not only have a uniquely colored sky but are also staked one another. The first ring, Pride, has skies as red as an apple. Then you have the second ring, Wrath, and the third ring, Gluttony, that conists of warm-colored skies that would remind you of a tropical fruit liek a mango. There are also rings with cold-colored skies like the rings of Lust, Envy, and Sloth, each with a sky color that reminds you of various berry-based flavors. And lastly, you have the 4th ring with skies with a color that reminds you of sour and underripe fruits. Sandwiched between three rings on the top and three rings at the bottom, the ring of Greed is the most sinister ring that hardly anyone would dare live in.
3rd POV
Location: Greed Ring
Across a ring with emerald-green skies and forest-green terrain, you see areas that are just as worst as the post-apocalyptic cities you would see in the red-sky ring of Pride. Toxic-chemical dumping in sewers from smog-vomiting factories, underpaid and over worked employees resorted to mafia-cliche crimes as means to make barely noticible dents in practically unpayable loans with interests, and shamless ripoffs of popular locations from other rings. You will find that in the ring of Greed. And the ruler of the ring is no one but the embodiment of Greed, Mammon.
The other Deadly Sins have not-so-good opinions on that spider jester. He used to have passion in the art of being a clown. But his obsession of doing business and making profit made him lose that passion. He even lost his muse when it comes to music. And like a washed up hazbin, his greed drove him into drowning in other sincs. His pride, wrath, glouttony, lust, envy, and sloth have reduced him from a passinate performer into someone who only leeches off someone elses's succuss, especially if it is for profits.
But one day, Mammon was acting strange. Servents who would walk walk near his bed chambers could hear him hum all sorts of melodies. And oddly enough, Mammon was praticing weaving his web strands into all sorts of unusual things. This sudden shift would unknowingly attract the attention the Deadly Sins from neighboring rings such as Queen Bee from Gluttony and Ozzy from Lust. Ozzy, especially on Fizzarolli's behalf, would find Mammon's change of heart very hard to believe and would like to call out his bluff.
MC's POV
Location: Uknown
Time: Days before people noticing Mammon's odd shift in behavior
My name is Y/N
I was your basic everyday mortal who lived an everyday life in the mortal plain. Your everyday mortal who like to listen to music, hum melodies, drum nice rhythms, make art, watch anime, and read all sorts of visual novels. Then one day, I lost consciousness from an incident I cannot seem to recall. Logically, I could assume that I have fell into a coma after consuming something. Worst case scenario, I might have just died and got isekai-ed to who-knows-where.
Right now, I find myself just floating in darkness. I was like drifting to parts unknown. Then I heard a voice that was too far to comprehend a single word. When I was slowly awaken by a light.
And then the next moment, I woke up in a nice warm bed while feeling cozy under thick layers of soft blankets. That was when something felt odd.
(insert Y/N reaction of realziing you are no longer in your original body. etc)
It was then epiphany struck me like a stampede of angry water buffalos. I was somehow reincarnated as Mammon some point in the past, and then went through an insident that caused me, now currently as Mammon, to regain memories of a past life from another timeline of another reality. It was either that, or some innerdimensial cosmic being decided to plant my soul into the body of an antagonist of a popular animated web series. Now that I thought that to myself, that honestly makes way more sense.
...so in other words... I am now stuck on a body of a Oogie-boogie look-a-like, who also oddly dresses like a christmas tree, and also has an extra set of arms...
...I am failing to see how this day can get any worse...
...A couple of unwritten chapters later...
MC POV:
Location Mammon's Office
Time: Time skip (somewhere after a few chapters, mostly to give readers an idea of possible outcomes that would most likely happen in this fanfic if MC were to accidentally leak some hints for the other main cast to pick up...)
(A/N: this is basically a spoiling recap of what I think might happen in most reincarnated-as-Mammon fanfics)
I find myself in my office, alone with two Deadly Sins, while a protective sound-proof barrier is placed outside to prevent easdropping...
Asmodeus: "So let me get this straight. You are currently not the Mammon we know in disgust..."
Beezelbub: "...but rather a human soul from another reality, who mysteriously either died or feel into a coma..."
Asmodeus: "...and somehow ended up having your soul in the body of the King of Greed, by the hands of possibly some multidimensional being..."
Beezelbub: "...with no idea where the real Mammon might be..."
Asmodeus: "...while you youself have memories of your former life, especially watching pre-recorded events of this reality up to a certain event that is yet to happen..."
Beezelbub: "...and upon reincarnating as Mammon, you also acquired isekai-anime-cliche abilities..."
Asmodeus: "...which you have secretly been using to improve various places in the Ring of Greed, while also trying to live a double life as a mysterious merchant under a different name and apperance?"
Mammon(Y/N): "Pretty much, yeah..."
Both Ozzy and Queen Bee gave me the most are-you-(beeping)-us look on their faces.
Asmodeus: "..."
Beezelbub: "..."
...
...
Asmodeus: "...and you never told anyone of this for months because..."
I honestly did not know why he asked that. But regardless, I replied bluntly...
Mammon(Y/N): "Well, I kind of get it that no one, especially the other Deadly Sins, really likes Mammon...ever. So would you really believe any word coming out of the mouth of the same Oogie-Boogie-cliche, currency-obsessed, christmas-tree-resembling, spider-jester demon before today?"
...
...
...
There was an awkward pause that made everyone feel as if time stopped. I was unaware at the time that I somehow struck a chord in them...
end of rough draft (the begining of this fanfic would chronologically took place maybe somewhere either before season 1 episode 2 or at least before the season 2 midseason special...)
Twiphase: See what I mean?
