The man eyed Mammon. This time, she wore a silk purple button down shirt, a sky blue leather skirt and white stockings that outlined her figure quite nicely.
Mammon eyed Belphegor/Jin also. He came in unexpectedly formal and in a tuxedo suit with dinner jacket and all. His tie was a little funky because it was in the colors of winter. ‘A white necktie in a tuxedo? I can rock that’
Belphegor turned to Farrah and saw that she was dressed bold. She wore a white leather corset with tight white leather pants and high heels. ‘… If she wasn’t fourteen…’ He inwardly thought as a joke.
Mammon practically jumped from her chair when she realize that Belphegor was right in front of her with his mask hanging from his hips. “B-Belphegor! What are you doing here?”
“I was checking up on a friend. Can’t do that now?” Belphegor raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah you can. But it has only been a day! Don’t you think checking up should be done once a week?” Mammon winced
“Not really part of the underworld anymore. So should I care?” Belphegor shrugged.
Mammon snorted. “I’m not sure what to say. Did you turn cocky? Or did you get careless after not being in the underworld for six whole years.”
“See, it’s not that I haven’t been part of the underworld for six years Mammon. I just haven’t been Belphegor.” He points out.
This raised a flag of interest in both Mammon’s and Farrah’s minds. “Oh? What have you been over the six past years? Don’t tell me that you are another bored gambler.” A smile ran across Mammon’s face when she said this. It was hinting to one of the memorable times when she saw him.
“I’ve been a lot of things. Illegal doctor, information broker, illegal lawyer, scientist, a school’s mascot, bullied school boy, comedian and many more” Belphegor said lightly.
Mammon have never heard of so many occupations in one person. What got her to be shocked was when he said bullied school boy. That was news to her. “*Pfft* So you can act differently. Alright ^-^” Mammon was certainly amused at his occupations.
Belphegor cocked his head back. “What’s that supposed to mean? I have to learn how to act based upon different situation. One time, I was ganged by ten tall ass football players in school. What could I’ve done? Act like a bullied school kid. But once those ten get their asses in the laboratory, you can bet I’ll make fireworks pop in their experiments.”
Seeing that even Belphegor can joke, she didn’t mind the humor. “Huh? I’m sure that the old Belphegor would’ve killed without another thought.”
“Huh? I’ve killed people?” Belphegor suddenly blurted.
This got Mammon to be suspicious. “Are you sure that you are Belphegor? If I recalled correctly, last time you created an entire massacre and crippled the entire underground network. You didn’t even care about one little life and used a person to their fullest”
Hearing this, Belphegor smiled. “A lot of things happened Mammon. I can’t remember due to my circumstances. I can’t speak of it now but I’ll tell you one day.”
Mammon was smiling strangely sweet. She reaches inside the drawer. *BANG!* In and instant, she pulled out a gun to shoot Belphegor.
Belphegor was no idiot. He can tell when something was wrong. He could see that move a mile away. He dodged the bullet and smacked away the gun casually. “What’s the big idea of shooting an old friend? What. Do I seem too different?”

“DON’T LIE TO ME! BELPHEGOR WOULD”VE NEVER ACTED THIS NICE! WHO ARE YOU!?” Mammon backed away and grabbed a knife.
Now Belphegor understood. Mammon never saw him in real life and he was usually cold to her when he was the old Belphegor. ‘So I did take lives…’
Belphegor stretches his neck and sighed. “*Sigh* I am Belphegor. What do I have to do to prove this?”
“You don’t need to prove no further! FARRAH! NOW!” Mammon screamed.
Farrah was already on alert once she heard Mammon said that Belphegor would’ve never acted nice. She went to get a gun and prepared to shoot Belphegor from behind. But she couldn’t do it. She wasn’t even sure if the one in front of her was real or fake. If he really is the real Belphegor, she would’ve killed not only her savior but the one she devoted her life to.
“*Sigh* Farrah. I gave you that name because you didn’t tell me your name when we first met in the slave training center. You were the boss’ manager while I was a masked blue haired man. I told the receptionists to bring up a letter within five minutes and you did. He read the paper but couldn’t run because you were too late. I’m pretty sure I heard some kind of hitting sound beyond the door while I was handling the body guards still using their faces to paint the walls red. So I went in, saw both you and the boss, pushed you out of the way to paralyze the boss by aiming at his back.” Belphegor tried to explain.
“Y-you could’ve seen everything! How can I trust that you are Belphegor?” Farrah’s hands were shaking from fear.
“I knocked everyone out except the two of us! Argh… Because, when I was on the lower floor, I was doing human experimentations. I knocked all the people out and used them in the lower floors where the facility held a lot of drugs. Which was also why I told you to stay up. I was making a vaccine for a hereditary disease through trail and errors of mixing poisons, medicines, and viruses all while testing it out on blood samples and humans.”Belphegor said casually. “Sadly, I had to use all types of people. Slaves, non-slaves, trainers, and even the boss. Oh, forgot to tell you, I castrated him just so you know.”
Both the women felt disgusted when they heard human experimentations. But it wasn't’ something far off what Belphegor would do from what they know and how long they knew Belphegor.
“Then tell both of us an important secret to the both of us” Mammon asked slowly.
‘… Why is it… that convincing people is so hard? … I hate explaining…’ Belphegor inwardly sighed at the doubts. But he still needed to clear things up. “Mammon. No. Emmeline. If not Lin. You gave me a small panda necklace. The doll was something you’d sewn yourself. You told me a long time ago that you gave it to your mother and gave it as a token of your friendship. I gave it back because I needed to do something important thus I borrowed a large sum. 500,000 to be exact along with a borrow interest of 250% per day. I even waited out past twelve which was your usual closing time to pay official additional money. On top of that, I even gave more money to show a little kindness to a person I’ve not seen in six years of my life. Now you doubt me?” Belphegor told Mammon.

Belphegor then turned to Farrah. “Farrah. You are an unexpected virgin whom I tried to get rid of because I didn’t want you to stay in the underworld. You are only fourteen and turned fourteen about two days ago. But since you’d insisted so strongly I told you my underworld name. Since I couldn’t bring you back with me, I brought you to Mammon in hopes that you wouldn’t need to work like a slave. At least Mammon treats her subordinates better than your ex-boss. I later on found out that you really have M cup breasts which I saw was a lie. But you said you had breast suppressors so… yeah… virgin instincts…”
Now there were no doubts in Farrah’s heart. She dropped the gun and rushed to the one she considered her master. “So it is you!!!!!” She cried happily knocking Belphegor down to the ground with her heavy jugs and holding him tightly.
“C-can’t breathe!!!! Help!!! Mammon!!!!” He desperately cried for help.
Mammon smirked and shrugged. She still had a little doubt about Belphegor. It was because he acted so differently that it didn’t feel right.
Belphegor who finally was able to loosen Farrah’s grips, could still see the doubts in her eyes. “Fine. Next time Mammon, I’ll only act like I did before. I’ll just talk through slips of paper for you to read and stay silent. Not a problem right? As long as that gets you to believe me.”
“No no no no no!” Mammon hurriedly tried to stop Belphegor. Even though it was just based on a suspicion, she didn’t want it to affect their friendship in any way. Especially after six long years and this was him acting nice with her. So she really didn’t want that to go away. “I was only kidding Belphegor. Don’t take it so seriously.”
‘Jin… You know what to do’ Lucian inside Jin spoke. He was hinting at a specific action. More specifically, what Jin/Belphegor did to Rosa in the morning.
Knowing what Lucian wanted to say he sighed. ‘I don’t like pimping girls everywhere I go unlike you Lucian…’
‘Oh? But I showed you how to do ‘that’ to a girl didn’t I?’ Lucian smirked.
‘*Sigh*… Might as well’ Jin didn’t want to do what Lucian taught him. It was because after he left Rosa’s father’s company that he let Lucian borrowed his body for an hour. From that point on, Lucian taught Jin through his body. The full use of his body in some interesting qi techniques. When Jin got back his body, those techniques were imprinted on his body.
Belphegor pushed Farrah off and strode up to Mammon. “Stay there Farrah. Don’t move until I say so” He commanded. A frigid wave bursted from Belphegor’s body engulfing the room in cold atmosphere. Without warning, he pushed her down onto her bed and restrained her there.
“Remember what I told you a long time ago? ‘While we are working, you are mine. You are my toy to be used and abused. If I break you, you will break. If I bend you, you will listen and bend. There are no two ways about it. Only until after this deal is over will you regain your freedom.’ Well now I got to renew that don’t I?” Belphegor repeated the words he said that day to her when he proposed her vengeance. Using his finger, he places it on her shirt where it intersects. In a quick motion, he rips her silk button down shirt and caused a long tear revealing her entire upper body including her breasts.
Farrah was about to stop Belphegor when she saw his vile action but she felt like some kind of shadow was holding her back.
Mammon’s entire body stiffens and could not move. An unexplainable icy feeling penetrated her skins down to her bones. No such strength could come from her muscles. Even her bones screamed inside her body from the terror emitting from the man before her. Even if she wanted to, there was a bad premonition that came to her if she did try to move. All she could do is to turn helpless to the man before her.
He pulls her face, slightly tilts his head and forcibly kissed her. Unlike Rosa, he already knew Mammon but still oscillated the kiss to bring out more pleasure from her lips. Belphegor could feel when she was at the height of pleasure of the kiss and inserted his tongue in her mouth.
‘!!!!’ Mammon was taken aback because he was so assertive and aggressive with the kiss. At first, it did feel like the kiss when she was him six years ago. But he improved a lot since then. She didn’t expect that he would be so daring.
Belphegor french kissed Mammon in a different manner unlike all of her past lovers. It felt like firestorm to Mammon. A rush of heat spread through her body and the source was dancing within those lips and tongues. Then, when the moment reaches the climax, her heated body suddenly dropped ice cold. He stopped the french kiss, pulled away and went down on her neck hard and bit it; sucking on it lightly. It was an abnormal bite because it was hot at first. But the temperature suddenly drop around that spot along with her entire body. Her body was instantaneously overwhelmed with an artic wave. An efflux of sort. Her eyes widen because she did not expect that when he bit down, her body would turn cold.
He stops sucking on the spot, and kisses lightly on the spot multiple times. He then kisses along her neck and jaw line and slowly worked his way down her body. Every time he kisses her body, she would feel warmth spreading through where he kissed. It would often drop back down to a coldness for an unknown reason but she didn’t hate it. In fact, the pleasure doubled whenever her body temperature fluctuated. She was enveloped in a sublime pleasure the entire time.
“Oooooooo” She softly cries.
Belphegor eyed her expressions closely. Seeing that it was almost time, he wickedly smiled on the inside. At this moment, he playfully sticks his tongue in her belly button and twisted his tongue in, out and around the area and back in.
“Ahhhhhh!!!” Mammon unconsciously lets out a cute yet loud moan that was quite loud with her back arched.
Belphegor steadily, centimeters by centimeters moves his tongue upward from the belly button to her collar bone and rose away. A long perfect coat of saliva was left behind from the tip of his tongue. It remained on her body all the way up to her collar bone dividing her body in the center flawlessly. This gave her some time to breathe.
“I-is it over?” Mammon murmured in exhaustion.
“No. This is just the beginning.” Belphegor said to Mammon. “I’ll get rid of all your doubts” His words were like an icy net. Smooth and captivating. This time, he begins the second part.
Belphegor went back to french kissing Mammon. The only difference this time, he lures mammon’s tongue out little by little.
‘N-no! Don’t go!’ She wanted him to stay inside her mouth so she brought her arms around his head.
An evil grin flashed and caught Mammon by surprise. He began to wrap his lips around Mammon’s tongue and sucked on it all while slowly moving back out. When he was finally reached the tip of her tongue, he plunges back inside her mouth to repeat the motion. He continues to ravage her mouth and sanity until she was completely lost in the velvet bliss.
Seeing that she was near the end, Belphegor decided. ‘Time to end this.’ He moves back, built up saliva, and lets it slowly go in Mammon’s mouth. He didn’t even let the saliva go down her throat and made it stay in one place. Once he saw that it was enough, he came back down to once more french kiss her and let his tongue dance wildly inside all while making her drink his saliva.
Both Mammon and Farrah was shocked. What he was doing was nasty in a way. But it also gave a feeling of deep love. Farrah who saw this had her flip switched on. Her head became woozy. Her hands unconsciously moved onto her own body trying to find pleasure.
Mammon, who experienced this truly felt a new level of violation. Never has she done something that felt so good and dirty. This was a new and good pleasure for her. Her eyes rolled back, her face became all red, and sweat perspired profusely all over her body. She was even pulling him closer for him to go deeper inside her mouth. Now she was moaning out in pleasure out loud that even she didn’t know that she was moaning.
When Belphegor was done, his lips parted from Mammon and smiled sweetly. She wore an expression of complete sublime submission and a stupidly euphoric face. “Do you doubt me now Mammon? Do you doubt that I lost my memories?”
She wraps her arms around his neck and shook her head. “Uh uh. But I think I like the new Belphegor. Heh heh” She giggles in bliss. By now, she had no doubts. He just made it all vanish. This all happened just by his tongue. She was really curious what would happen if he’d used his hands.
“Why don’t we go all the way Belphegor?” She tried to seduce him by slipping off her skirt a little showing some skin. After all, she was taken so far into a new world of pleasure that she forgot Farrah.
Belphegor smiled at her invitation and slowly breaks free from her embrace standing back up tall. He pulls a blanket to cover Mammon. “I’d like to. But I got things to do and I’m still a virgin. Also, Farrah is here and we don’t want her to be alone” He points to the girl who was still subconsciously trying to make herself feel good.
Farrah who finally came to her senses realizes what she did and wanted to die from embarrassment.
Belphegor walked right over to Farrah, caught her by surprise and just lightly kisses her on the forehead. “There. If you wait till you’re eighteen, I might do the same. As for now, are you satisfied?”
“Mmmhmm” Farrah nodded happily.
“This was supposed to be your gift after you deliver the information to me. But it seems now that it came a little early, I have nothing left to give. So I hope you won’t be asking for more when you hand over the information right?” Belphegor smirked.
Both Mammon and Farrah couldn’t say anything. It wasn’t like they could. He practically raped Mammon to the point of muddling her mind and sanity. As for Farrah, she was anticipating for the same pleasure when she grows up fully.
“I’ll leave now and be back in a two days. Ciao” Belphegor sweetly said. He puts his mask back on and went out the door leaving the two to themselves.
He returns to his cold demeanor as if nothing had happened. Belphegor did not know that Mammon’s room was supposed to be somewhat sound proof. It was made this way so small talks cannot be heard. But her moans were quite loud and thus some could hear it if close enough.
Outside of Mammon’s room, there were a lot of eyes focused on her room. They were wondering what was going on inside when they heard Mammon’s small moan. When the moan came out, the whole air around the room turned into a light and pinkish atmosphere. It was something they’d never heard in a long time ever since her last boyfriend made out with her. But since he went with another woman, he was dealt with brutally.
They eyed the blue haired devil walking out her room and was practically blasting cold air around him throughout his body and shooting outward in a large area that filled the building’s atmosphere with ice. ‘Did this man do that to Mammon?’ Mammon’s servants thought. But no one dared to ask. They saw what’d happened the last time he was here. Everyone suddenly dropped dead when they tried to get even a little bit of information on him. That was why they didn’t dare to get near Mammon’s door.
Belphegor went up to the receptionist in the front and turned towards their direction. No one dared to breathe. Belphegor took out a slip of paper, and wrote on it. “I better not hear any rumors.” And left quietly.
Once he was outside, only then did they finally breathe again. Even when he was gone that they still felt like if they even spoke a little about him, they would die. So everyone kept quiet and left things without even saying anything about him.
Back in Mammon’s room….
Mammon was still slightly tired but in a refreshing way. Now that her shirt was ruined, she had to get a new one. She went to her wardrobes to pick out a new shirt. When she got in front of the mirror, she noticed something different about her body. The place where the long line of saliva became a bluish color on her tan skin. Even the spot where he bit became blue but transformed into a small blue cross shape.
Mammon turns to Farrah to see if something similar happened to her. Sure enough, Farrah’s forehead had a small blue cross shape on her. Farrah soon found out as well.
The two touched the small blue cross on each others' bodies and felt a small familiar warmth. What they did not know that Belphegor branded them. This brand was used to let the user know where the two were, if they were in any sort of danger, and sort of cheat to know what is on the branded one’s mind. So it would let the owner know if they were lying. But Lucian upgraded this branding to a whole new level. The worst part of this branding is the upgrade that Lucian made. But the upgrade is a secret for later on. Only now that the branding does not affect free will. Of course it cost tons of qi to be used and branded. That was what the leaked cold qi from the Cyan Conqueror was for. The Cyan Conqueror was producing too much qi and this was a use for it.
What Belphegor didn’t know was that he used a high level of branding techniques on another person. It could not be seen nor felt unless the person is a high level paragon of light. Lucian made sure only paragon of light can sense it but still unable to remove it. Only those stronger than paragon of light can remove it. But how many were stronger than paragon of light exists?
So the only way to remove it is if the one who used it or rather the owner removes the brandings themself. Only those who are branded by the same person can see the other’s brandings. Though this sounds broken and overpowered branding, it is not. It is also fair. Lucian made sure of it.
The two didn’t know this but didn’t hide it. They felt a sort of pride in having the brand. Mammon and Farrah looked at each other and knew what was on the other’s mind and blushed. Belphegor already captivated their hearts.
Lucian who saw this nodded in satisfaction. “Hihihihihi You’ve dug your own grave Jin. Hihihihi ah ha ha ha ha! You’ve successfully secured two waifus hehehehe… Those brandings weren’t even needed!!!!!!!!” The maniacal laugh resounded. This was his plans all along but he never told Jin. But to use a lot of cold qi was his main goal. The Cyan Conqueror was Jin’s old self in a sense. He didn’t want Jin’s whole personality to be twisted and affected by his old qi. It could even lead to him remembering everything. Lucian soon went out to check up on Jin/Belphegor to see if everything was alright.
Outside of the building….
Belphegor/Jin finally was able to come out and went to a safe place to take off his mask. The Belphegor mask. An old mask he’d buried a long time ago because he never thought he would need it ever again. But now, looking back at the mask, he was glad that he never destroyed the mask because it had too many functions inside to conceal his identity. It also has a natural air filter inside in case anyone would try to poison him. The mask was unique in its own way and had so many memories inside. Jin then puts the mask away and walked off in a good mood. '*sigh* I've taken the initiative so many times today... on girls... Never have I man handled so much as I did today... But it at least keeps down some problems.'
Lucian watched in the far off distance. ‘So he was able to use a lot of that qi… Nice!!!!!’ Seeing that Jin was in a good mood, he too was in a good mood.
‘*Sigh* A mask of steel, a heart of glass. Hiding behind facades of strength and cruelty, his inner human is no different from others as it is as gentle as wind blowing among the trees and grass. An act is dropped and the air of love is spread. A warm gift called love is enough to be said. Yet you dare hide it behind that mask. But it is not your fault. For your ending is already set and has been cast.’ Lucian inwardly sighed in solemnness. ‘But I will change that.’
‘Worried about his ending Lucian?’ Ban came out to ask.
‘He has been alone for quite a long time. That was the reason why we sealed his memories along with his powers.’ Lucian’s expression suddenly had a dull look in his eyes. The eyes of pity and bottomless sorrow could be seen if anyone would take a glance into his eyes. But inside had a small glint of hope.
‘It is mostly because those who wants to act like a god rather have one less competitor. I really don’t see the point though. But he still have to go through the pretentious pricks in order to live. They even dared to call it trails and tribulation to the point of making me want to put them through the same.’ Ren came out to say.
‘Yeah. But the problem is that his soul is so worn down. A pure soul who has been through a lot should deserve a heaven but even in heaven do they not allow rest to his soul’ Lucian’s eyes became wet but he could not cry. ‘At some point, I thought that if he was given another chance to live life normally on the condition of not rising to higher power, the upper beings would leave him alone. But that was my fault.’
Ban and Ren took a look around Lucian and saw that there were hundreds traces of higher plane beings vessels remaining floating invisibly and slowly disappearing. They saw that Lucian killed all of them with his bare hands while Jin was dealing with his business. They saw Lucian grabbed the very souls within those vessels and shattered them. They even saw a monstrous weapon being fired at Jin but Lucian absorbed all of it and turned it into energy.
Anyone could guess what happened. Higher plane beings founded Jin and tried to get rid of him permanently in one fell swoop. But Lucian interfered just in time and destroyed all of them in an instant.
‘You just came from heaven right Lucian? So how was it? I haven’t seen it in such a long time. Did it change?’ Ban softly asks. He saw that Lucian went up to heaven to give them a small warning.
‘Not like heaven anymore.’ Lucian bitterly smiled.
Ren and Ban could understand what he’d meant. Even their expressions grew bitter. The two disappeared back into Jin’s mind without saying another word.
“What is the point of worshipping a god if he does not protect the heavens? What is the point of believing in these higher plane beings and the inhabitants of heaven if they come to hurt you? What is the point of trying to be a saint or ascending up to heaven if life as a human could be many times better?” The angel of light came out.
“Ah is it you?” Lucian softly said.
“Yeah. It is me Lucian. The attacks has been getting rougher and rougher as the days go by. Some of the heavens were quarreling amongst themselves. Some already have broken their promises and was about to go down. Some already came down before I could prevent them. They even prepared a heavenly cannon to fire. But then they reported that a mysterious white shadow devoured entire sectors of upper and lower heavens taking many saints as a price and left a warning. Which is also why they all decided to stop’ The angel of light smiled. “It was also you who’d saved me wasn’t it? Heh… Just like old times just a little more reversed.”
“… Do you blame me old friend?” Lucian hugged his knees and pulls close to them.
“No. Not at all. In fact, I was about to do the same if I could.” The angel of light admitted. “I rather beat those promise breaking pricks down myself but I can only handle so much as an angel of light.”
“… I took so many paragon of lights lives and probably millions of those lesser saints below them. Even the higher saints died by my hands and was forced back into the origin. Just like Jin, I sometimes wonder if I did the right thing.” Lucian himself was originally human. He never wanted to take lives even as a human.
‘Oh please. You went to hell, saved many saints, and came out a hero. Some of them became paragon of lights because of you. It should’ve been you. You should’ve became a leader. A god. But was too soft hearted to become a god. Thus you stayed something less than a god. Something more human but still do god’s work because you love life much more than most of the heavenly inhabitants. So whether it was right or wrong, neither heaven nor its inhabitants have a right to judge you.’ The angel of light told Lucian.
‘… I’ll see you again old friend. Again. Thanks for keeping Jin safe for so long.’ Lucian sadly smiled and disappeared.
‘… Lucian. It is because you also were alone that you wished for no one to be unhappy. But if you were to be placed with a choice between your happiness and another person’s happiness, you would be lost. But ever since you’ve reincarnated, you chose to selfishly bestow your reincarnated self a happiness that you never got a chance to experience. So it is not wrong to be selfish sometimes. Even you told me that. Don’t worry. He won’t be alone.’ The angel of light whispered in the wind and disappeared.

She awakens in A'lara City a few days later and recuperates under the steadfast care of her repentant friend Jorn.As she reacclimates to her waking state, Larin struggles with her gruesome memories of the Hells and her decision to conceal them from Jorn. This story answers the question, Is Larin all right? with a resounding yes, and some storms on the horizon.It also raises the question, What happened to her down there? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Falling Down, about Larin's ordeal in the Nine Hells. Praise for Waking Up and Falling Down: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great!The difference between Waking Up and Falling Down is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing.The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact.And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well.-- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★

Others do not have the same luck and end up stuck in the limbo, unable to return home. There is one other category of Travelers. These are the ones strong enough to create bodies and separate themselves from the life they had before. These Travelers start a new life without ever thinking about returning to the place they once called “home”.
