The Beginning of the End(anger)

Welp, I bought 3 bags of chips since the economy is hard these days. I'm hoping I'll be able to go to another country with my fam's plans and I hope it'll be sooner. Still, I hate how things in this country are becoming harder and harder. I once thought that the definition of rich would be to keep on financially rising but it's actually on being financially stable. I miss the days where I don't have to do work and just play all day... Good thing I did play most of the time, I knew I would be always working when I'd grow up hehe... Finally, it's my turn to pay at the counter. The street lights in this area are not enough, all the tax we're paying "really is put into good use". Dang, I hate crossing this dark street it always makes me feel like I have to gamble every time I cro-...

...

I can't believe that just happend... Where am I!? The last thing I remember was a bright light from a speeding truck heading my way. I inhaled so much air that it feels like I just went for an underwater swim for 5 minutes. Why is it so dark and... Why do I hear something like a choir boss' music? The lights suddenly lit up and it's a bunch of medieval dungeon candelabras and I can see a throne all the way at the end of the middle of the room and lights. It looks like I'm in a throne room and it looks like I've been isekai'd like in those anime I've been watching. Well, I hope I'll get the overpowered harem anime and live my life peacefully and rich at the countryside. But I know the best option here would be to exit the room but it's locked sadly and it seems like I'll have to appro-

(Mysterious voice): Well now leaving so soon are we human? What was that?!?

I swear I was the only person in the room! Is it friendly? Is it hostile?

(Mysterious voice): I suppose I'll have to introduce myself before asking for your name. I am called Diablo, I assume that you've already heard of me and think you are strong enough to defeat me to whichever country that sent you or for your greed or stupidity. Before we clash what is thy name human?

Diablo?! That sounds like a demon's name! What a dark generic demon voice as well! Should I give him my real name or a fake name? Well they do, say never make a deal or give your name to the devil so I guess I'll have to make up a name just in case, and let's go for a cool anime MC name. Hmm... I guess I'll go with Kisho Arima just like that guy from Tokyo Ghoul, that way if someone recognizes that name at least I can tell if they're not from this world. I'll also need to ask him some questions and tell him I'm from another world so maybe he could do something for me. I'll have to say this calmly and as if I'm Sasuke Uchiha.

(Kisho Arima) My name is Kisho Arima and I came from another world. May I ask if it was you who summoned me? Where am I?

(Diablo) That would explain your unusual outfit and your name. Tell me human would you want to battle me for wealth, fame, and power? Since I'm feeling bored and would need some amusement since no one else aside from my subordinates has been able to set foot on this floor for 100 years I'll give you the option to live and walk away or to fight for the riches. 

(Kisho Arima) I can tell there's a catch for the first option, may you tell me what it is? 

(Diablo) It seems you have some intelligence after all human. The "catch" is I'll be monitoring every event that will happen to you and your location as long as you are in the dungeon. But I'll also be slowly walking towards you, and if I do catch up to you, you'll have to battle against me. I'll give you a 7 moons headstart before I can catch up to you. Do you choose to run? or perhaps fight?

Shit... and here I thought I've been summoned by the demon king to be his ally not his foe, I guess I'll have to leave this castle and hopefully have strong powers or have a good life outside. I just hope I can leave without any fighting or scratches

(Kisho Arima) I choose to run to live another day.

(Diablo) Wise choice human, I'll be interested in what you otherworlder can do and what amusement will you bring me. Now go! Leave and bring me some entertainment!

The doors finally opened for me and it seems like it opened using magic since no one opened it or there wasn't any contraption. Imma head out and not check what's near the throne, no way I'm risking anything. I walked outside and what in the world is this?... a pile of corpses...  I think I'm going to be sick! the stench is awful, also where are the guards and why are all these burned corpses here? are those elves and dwarves as well or were they fried till deformation? most of the bodies are impaled and some beheaded and are burnt to a crisp. Now that I left the room It suddenly feels warmer than being in the throne room. What's that sound? I hear it coming from upstairs. As I went closer strangely this castle doesn't seem to have stairs leading down, this must be the basement. Strange how the throne room is located in the basement but it would make sense since the leader's a demon, or was he the leader? 

It's been about 5 minutes of me walking up these spiral stairs, how loud was that scream to reach the bottom anyway? 

Finally! I've made it! that wore me out and... all I see are red boiling lakes... and there are bodies slowly burning and slowly sinking... where the hell am I?
