In another part of the world was a young king who was called by people as the wisest man who ever lived.

He was said to be loved by God causing him to be an envy of many people.

But no one knows that he was actually the reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, favored by the Son of God and was one of the twelve original disciples of Jesus Christ; The infamous son of Simon Iscariot, according to the New Testament.

In legend, he is always known for the kiss and betrayal of Jesus to the Sanhedrin for 30 silver coins.

And even his name was often used synonymously with betrayal or treason.

However, this was all but a misunderstanding.

Judas never betrayed the Son of God as he loved and adored Jesus Christ as much as - no, probably more than the other disciples.

He treated Jesus Christ as his real brother, closest friend, his savior and light.

However, although reluctant and pained, Judas has no choice but to do it since his betrayal was ordered by Jesus Christ himself to brought fort salvation to all humanity.

His sacrifice had set the events that led to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection in motion.

And after the Son of God’s death which had presented as a fulfillment of the prophecy, Judas who couldn’t take the guilt of betraying his closest friend and brother as well as the blame and hate from his other brothers who didn’t know anything about the truth - returned the money to the priests and committed suicide by hanging himself.

The Son of God was sad and felt guilt from Judas sacrifice and offered a second life in an alternate Earth where he was given everything, turning him into the second son of King David and Bathsheba.

He gifted him with unsurpassed wisdom as means of repayment which also made him into the most foolish fool in the world when he became enamored by the story of the most beautiful woman who is deemed to be untouchable by mortals.

Solomon could not control his lust.

He was confident in his power as well as his unsurpassed wisdom bestowed by God and set forth on a journey to see the most beautiful woman in the world and make her his wife.

However, the end result was as expected.

Solomon was dragged down by the Damned souls and throws him to hell.

However, due to him still having the God’s blessings, he wasn’t instantly drowned in the torture of hell and instead was able to tour around the world of the dead.

There, he met Virgil who Solomon didn’t know was in fact, his other self – born from the original evil, men had inherited from their first parents; Adam and Eve.

It was also called the ancestral sin – the Christian doctrine of humanity's state of sin resulting from the fall of man.

Stemming from Adam and Eve's rebellion in Eden, namely the sin of disobedience in consuming from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Thus, when Solomon was thrown into hell, Solomon has split into two; Dante who carry the goodness and humanity of Solomon and Virgil who was the personification of evil and demon within humans.

Virgil lied to Solomon; who was now called Dante when Solomon’s memory had slowly deteriorated and twisted due to the curse of hell slowly flowing inside of him the more time he spends in the underworld, which of course he didn’t know.

Virgil said to Dante that he has been sent by Beatrice; which name was in fact made up by Virgil and was referring to Hel so that Dante would listen to him.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Virgil used Beatrice, meaning the Bringer of Joy and Happiness, to give Dante a hope to continue living and struggle to survive.

In that sense, Virgil would be able to push Dante to walk around Hell, trying to find an exit and return to the world of the Living!

Virgil desires to drag his other self, Dante down to evil and make him cast away the faith he had for God so that, without God’s blessings, he would be able to devour Dante.

Virgil acted like a good tour guide and let him see what he wants to see.

Virgil even created an illusion of Judas being tortured and condemned in the lowest circle of Hell: the Ninth Circle of Traitors, also known as the frozen lake, Cocytus.

Dante listens to Virgil that Judas – having committed the ultimate act of treachery by betraying the Son of God Himself – was trapped in the jaws of Satan's central head, said to be the most vicious of the three, by his head, leaving his back to be raked by the fallen angel's claws.

This was done so that, Solomon who was the reincarnation of Judas would believe that he was a sinner who betrayed God for his own wellbeing and fell into darkness.

Dante continued his tour of hell which was portrayed in the poem ‘Divine Comedy’ as Virgil proceeds to guide him through the nine circles of Hell.

The circles are concentric, representing a gradual increase in wickedness, and culminating at the center of the earth, where Satan is held in bondage.

Dante saw the sinners of each circle are punished for eternity in a fashion fitting their crimes, slowly affecting his mindset.

In that time, Dante learned that one of Satans head was actually the God’s favorite son, the first angel to fall; Lucifer. He was imprisoned in 66 seals, in accordance with God’s order.

In Norse Mythology, it was said that Loki was chained by Odin and if ever Loki managed to escape from the imprisonment, Ragnarok will happen just as when Lucifer will be freed from 66 seals, he will wage war to the heavens and replaced his father on his throne!

When Solomon as Dante managed to exit Hell, he found out that his body was already on the verge of breaking down.

The curse run down through him, corrupting his entire being as he heard Virgil’s sinister laughs from his own mind, telling him to give in despair.

He met Hel who was pained from what he had ended to and still felt happiness he couldn’t convey.

At that time, he knows that Hel was worrying about him. And this gives him the happiness he couldn't describe.

On the other hand, God saw him and was disappointed.

He told Solomon that he might be the master of demons and spirits, however, as a mortal; he wasn’t allowed to enter Hell as all mortals.

And now, he was too influenced by the first curse he had given to Lucifer; the Mark resulting in the first sin he has in his soul awakening up due to corruption.

With a human body, withstanding the curse was beyond impossible.

Still, much to Virgil’s displeasure, God knows that Solomon will become evil and gradually die and wither as no mortals couldn’t possibly endure the corruption of the Mark that held all evil in the world.

Thus, he gathered all goodness within him and scattered them across worlds so that the curse will lessen and at least some parts of Judas, his old friend will still be able to live on.

That was the fall of Solomon.

Virgil was furious for the God’s unnecessary interference and vowed to take revenge.

He should’ve been perished and disintegrated to dust along with the original body but with the help of the Mark, Virgil managed to endure the curse causing him to become a demon. And after usurping the power from the Mark, he became extremely powerful.

At this moment, also, due to Solomon’s death, Hel was hurt, mourning for the one person who understands her most, freeze a third of the world, killing millions of people.

The God pitied her but the Pagan Gods were enraged by her actions and banished her to a world they had made just for her and imprisoned her there.

It was a world similar to hell but only isolated, lonely, and alone.

Sometimes souls accidentally wonder and became lost souls…

Thus, Hel became the Queen of the Damned and lost souls.

What happened to Hel angers Virgil thus he hated the Gods and the Pagan Gods even more for their merciless and unfair treatment.

He then decided to free Lucifer from his imprisonment to end the era of Gods.

However, to do that he needed to be complete first.

He roamed through every alternate and parallel world to seek for the fragment of his soul and absorb it.

He wreaks havoc with his devil minions to the Land of the Gods while at the same time finding the key to the 66 seals of Lucifer.

Virgil and Dante, once a single being but now walking on the different paths.

Virgil wanted to absorb Dante to gain his original power while Dante had lost his memories.

On the other hand, Rebellion was one of the Keys of Solomon.

She was the greater key while Ebony and Ivory were the lesser keys that made up the pseudepigraphical grimoire attributed to King Solomon that gives him right over all demons and spirits.

In their way, most fragments have already been completely absorbed giving Virgil the absolute power of dominion over Demons and Spirits!

He was now one of the absolute rulers of Hell in Lucifer’s absence.

Demon Prince Virgil and his counterpart - Demon Prince Dante!
