《Devil》A Conversation
Advertisement
It's been a while since I last spoke to you hasn’t it? Well it's not like you’ve ever responded back in words. Only events and situations to which I can't always tell if you're responsible for them. I've said this in many ways, in anger when the events have hurt many, in sadness when I knew your inaction was necessary, in hopelessness like now when once again I disagree with your decisions… nothing I can say will change your way of thinking. From the time I gained my mind I've never influenced your actions.
Even when you forced me to leave, you neither cared nor bothered to hear me out. The rest followed your lead, emotionless drones with no individuality among them. So despite being surrounded by every last one of you I had never felt more alone… now being away for so long I still feel alone, however I would rather never see any of you again than to experience what it felt to be one of… your things I guess. Any names would just be a thin frosting on the cake.
There where those who followed me but like the others they had no thinking, no opinions, just some deep desire. At the time I thought I could release that desire and then they would be like me. They didn’t turn into me. Their desires overtook them as the mindless drones they were and made them into beasts… I have wondered if you cast me out in order to rid yourself of them. That would have been a smart choice but you're not like that. Uncaring like time and nature… only to raise your hand whenever you see fit.
Because of me there is misery, and then through us there is death. Nothingness has accepted me, I don’t know if chaos favors me or hates you but it has been there for me. The beasts I've created kneel in my presence… as if I was you. Even the others, the new ones only look to you when there is no choice. They choose to look to me, to strive to be like me. They have the minds I've been looking for. Thinking thoughts that took me an unknowable amount of time. And you’ve released them… to me. I will not take credit for all their actions. While I'm prideful I am not you. They have given me something you never would. They have named me

The Devil.
Hi. This is my first story so don't expect much. But I've wanted to give back to the community and I also wanted to write a story that I don't think many write about. Sure there are demon lords a plenty but there aren't that many lucifers around. So taking from Paradise Lost and a few other versions of the Devil I've decided to write a story about the ultimate rebel, the first teenage rebellion, and the embodiment of evil.
Please leave a comment on the idea, charater, or where you want the story to go. Criticism is welcomed but add how I can improve not just you suck.
Thank you for reading...

8 343Hunter Or Huntress
A human engineer named Tom accepts a deal to travel to a Fantasy world with the mission of changing it forever. He is given a week to prepare before setting off. Once on the other side, he is greeted by a fantastical world and its inhabitants. his original mission to change this world and have some fun while doing it quickly turns into him making a home for himself and defending it and his new family against whatever ends up coming their way. The story will also follow the POV of Sapphire a local woman who Tom encounters early on in his travels to yield a closer insight into our local population. The story focuses mainly on the interactions between the characters with intermittent action, romance, and the technical side of trying to bring a medieval-high-fantasy people up to speed with more or less modern technology. There will be discussions of mental illness, immense loss, and joy, ranging from the truly heartbreaking to the properly heartwarming. The first chapters are on the short side but eventually escalate to the 3000-5000 word range. especially the early chapters suffer from poor grammar and I am sorry. they are slowly going to be brought up to spec.

8 76A Dungeon Core
So I died, and then I was allowed to live again. Apparantly though, gods don't really understand what 'live' means because I am now a crystal in a cave, A Dungeon Core. Whatever, I don't really mind. A Core is immortal, at least as long as it isn't killed- and that means I have an infinite amount of time to restore my old body. So I will dig in, build my defenses, and dedicate myself to recovering my body and giving it the power of the Core I have become. But it doesn't seem like I will be left alone by the world around me...
8 62Crew of the Helianthus
The FL Helianthus is an old ship with a young crew. This is their struggle to keep her running and the bills paid while exploring the galaxy. The newest crew member is an ex-imperial communicator, but there is something off about her. How will she fit in? The year is 2502 AE, and humanity has spread throughout our arm of the galaxy. Across thousands of planets and stations, the Network keeps humanity connected in near real time. Through the Network, factions govern over the masses, gaining power with every station under their control. A tenuous peace exists between the four superpowers curbed only by the sheer bloodshed incurred in the UEE Civil War. To the crew of the FL Helianthus, this news is secondary to figuring out their next resupply. As a freelance ship, they are not tied to any one faction. That means finding work while navigating the dangers of space and diplomacy.

In this story, you are...an experiment of sorts. Taken at a young age, you grew to only know three colors, forgetting what the real world was like. Your emotions control your powers, anger being fire, sadness being ice, fear being vines, and confusion being yellow flowers. Cover made by @saraflutershi
