Chapter 2: A Godly Encounter.
A shot rang out around the plaza.
The first to react was a man standing behind an elevated podium. lifting his hand towards his face he examined the red liquid that had leaked from a wound on his chest.
After a brief shocked silence a woman's’ scream rang out through the crowd.
Realizing what had just transpired the rest of the people took action. Some panicked and went into hysterics while others rushed to the man who had fallen from the elevated platform he had been speaking from moments ago.
A woman ran towards the fallen man. She collapsed beside him with an anguished look in her eyes after seeing the large amount of blood that plastered his clothes.
The man tried to speak. However, all that he could manage was a small grunt seeing as he was Unable to breath properly due to the pain in his ribs. Simply opening his mouth brought him immense pain.
Waving his hand he beckoned the woman to come closer so that he may speak easier. With her ears close to his lips he whispered.
“ Zuri, I have one last request.”
He paused trying to catch a breath. A grimace spread across his face.
Zuri seeing his breath faltering leaned in even closer so that his lips were slightly touching her ear.
With a smile he uttered his final words. His lips barely moved and the only one able to hear his final words was his wife.
“Wait for me.”
As he let out his last breath. The perplexed woman let out a confused look which quickly turned to anger.
“....”
“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!” She roared angrily while shaking her fist at the sky
“YOU GO AND DIE ON YOUR WIFE AND YOU DON'T EVEN TELL HER THAT YOU LOVE HER!?”
Her anger rose to even higher levels as she looked down at his now dead body which had a knowing grin on its un-moving face. He was clearly mocking her even after his death.
Zuri let her anger and continuously hit the corpse of her dead husband. The defiling of the corpse shocked the collection of people who were standing a circle around her.
However she hardly even noticed their presence and kept swinging her arms around wildly.
Her strong punches slowly became weaker and weaker, soon her fists were just tapping the side of his face lightly. Her body started to shake and tears formed in her eyes.
Putting her head down onto his cold chest she sobbed and cried with all of her might. A few of the people in the crowd came forward to comfort her, But she took no notice and didn't even acknowledge their existence
.
Zuri continued to cry until she couldn't take it anymore.
Closing her eyes with exhaustion, and pondering over her husband's last words Zuri allowed her consciousness to be taken away from her.
As the world went dark the sounds of sirens could be heard blaring through the city…..
‘Sigh’
Welp here I am again….
Darkness….
I could neither see nor hear nor feel anything. It was just.. Black. I was however aware of my surroundings and I could feel an enormous presence right next to me, and when I say enormous I mean enormous. So big infact that it blotted out everything around it with just its aura.
Suddenly a voice rang out through my head.
‘Hello little one, before I eat you may I inquire as to how you may have ended up in my personal voice.
‘Uhhhgg goddamn voices always demanding this and that. How the hell should I know how I got here you annoying prick?’
‘OHOHO so this little one dares speak out against me?’
‘Wait you can hear me!?’
‘Well you are essentially inside of my body after all’
‘Hmm.. well im sorry about intruding on your place Mr. Voice but I honestly don’t know how or why I am here. All I remember is killing my whole family, getting some skills, and then the guide saying something about changing my race and physical appearance.’
‘...’
‘...’
‘You wouldn't happened to have eaten your family now would you?’(Couldn't find good wording for this sentence.)
‘Well now that you mention it that is kinda what happened though I do prefer to call it absorbed not eaten.’
‘Well whatever floats your boat I guess.’
‘...’
‘...’
‘Ah yes I forgot, I may know the reason for your coming here’
‘Really!?’
‘yes , yes I do and i’ll tell you in a bit, but first may I ask you a question?’
‘Well I don’t really have a choice now do I?’
‘HAHAHA I guess not’ I could almost imagine the voice giving a wry smile.
‘Well what I want to ask you is what do you wish to accomplish in this new world?’
‘New world what could you possibly mean’ Nonexistent sweat poured down my non existent forehead.
‘Cut the act, I know all about that reincarnation bull shit I am one of the dark kings after all, just answer the question or i’ll have to eat you.
‘FINE FINE you coulda just said so in the first place… anyways that's a really hard question I mean if I was going off of my previous life I would be an advocate of peace and nonviolence but once I got here all I’ve got is this strange desire to kill’
I pondered this question for a few minutes longer before finally giving an answer.
‘Well you see I don’t really have any real goals, but based on what my body and mind are telling me to do all I really want to do is to gain power and thrive.’
‘I see.. I guess I can work with that, I mean you already passed all of the requirements when you ate you own mother.’ The voice said with a cheerful tone
‘Requirements?’
‘hmm , I forgot to tell you? Basically this was all a test to see if you were compatible to become my champion on the upper worlds, of course if you failed my test I would have eaten you. Now allow me to introduce myself…’

Like a light switch was turned on I suddenly had regained my eyesight again. I blinked a few times before becoming accustomed to the candle-light that flickered throughout the room.
Looking around I noticed where I was. It was a Gigantic room that resembled a medieval feast hall. Huge rectangular wooden tables were lined up across the hall. On each table an enormous pile of food was piled up. Everything ranging from smoked ham to lemon tarts were included in the piles of scrumptious looking food, I even spied a couple microwave meals from earth mixed in.
“Once again allow me to introduce myself.”
A loud regal voice resounded throughout the dimly lit hall. Looking towards the front of the room I saw a huge wooden throne, and around that throne was a massive amount of half eaten food and garbage.
On the seat however, rested a young man He was neither tall nor short, or skinny and fat. His entire body was completely average. But, what really stood out about him was his head. Instead of a human head, on his neck rested the head of a giant fly.
The fly then opened its lips??? To speak.
“I(pause) am Gluttonous King Beelzebub.”
I just stood there with a blank expression on my face. http://i49.tinypic.com/zstxdc.jpg
….
……
“Really no reaction?”
….
……
“Nothing at all?”
“Well they really got the gluttonous part right, but what I really want to know is how you stay so thin.”
Beelzebub stood and had what seemed like an expression of pride on his ugly face.
“Well if you must know I am on a diet”
“A diet…. You say…”
The fly hybrid looked around he seemed have to notice the many half eaten cakes and sweets lying on the floor. realizing that he had misspoken, The fly’s face flushed red and I could see several sweat droplets on his forehead.

‘Cough Cough’ “Well then back to the original subject.”
“You may be asking yourself why did are you here.”
“Well yes.. I already did.”
“OY WILL YOU LET ME TALK ALREADY.”
Beelzebub stuffed a whole turkey into his proboscis. I could tell that he was extremely nervous. I didn’t know what to expect when he opened his pincers next.
“You see this hall is my home and has been my home for the last 500 years.”
“I used to be one of the 7 entities that ruled the over world. Unfortunately there was a war with that arrogant prick of a god that the humans worshiped. He sent thousands of angels down from his heavenly realm to ‘Cleanse our filth’ and we responded by sending a demon army to combat them.”
“I feel as though this response was pretty justifiable under the circumstances. But the other races on the overworld were tricked into believing that we were the bad guys just cause we sent an army up to defend ourselves.”
After this statement the former demon lord nodded his head earnestly.
“Naturally with our leader being Pride King Lucifer and us being demons we completely underestimated the mortals by only sending a few of our less experienced armies to combat them and focused on the angels instead.”
‘Sigh’ “Of course, we did realize this mistake but it was already too late and the humans so called ‘Hero’ was already at our doorstep.”
“The once mighty demon kings have been reduced to mere dark gods content with whispering in the shadows.”
I knew there was a reason that Beelzebub was telling me all of this so instead of waiting for him to continue his history lesson I spoke up.
“Uhhgg stop talking you’re making my brain hurt. If you want me to do something just tell me already!”
The demon nodded to me and gave me a vicious grin.
“What I want you to do you say? Well its completely out of the question for you to help me escape this prison so what should I do.”
Contemplating this for a second Beelzebub stroked his chin.Finally with an expression that looked like a light bulb had popped up above his head he said.
“I want you to become my champion on the over world. I’ll give you some pretty sweet skills and effects and all you’ve gotta do is help me free the all of the other kings. If you ask me its a pretty sweet deal. I mean its not like i’m gonna eat you or anything.”
Though it was said jokingly those last words really sent a shiver down my spine.
“I guess I could help you, but on one condition.”
“My my” Beelzebub looked surprised. “In all of my long life I have never meet anyone bold enough to ask ME for a favor let alone after giving them the deal of a lifetime.”
“However, since you would be my champion and on top of all that you will be freeing us from our prisons i guess I could allow it.”
I smiled. I could feel the blood thirst welling inside of me and the same haze that had came over me when I killed my new family.
“All I ask Lord Gluttony is that I am able to do whatever I want to whomever I want.’
The demon lords mirror-like eyes shined with an evil red glint after hearing what I had to say. It seems as though he understood what I had asked him for.”
“Of course my champion, I have no control over who lives and dies in the over world and you may kill or enslave anyone that you desire. In fact I had originally intended to give you these freedoms anyway.”
Before I could reply a feminine voice rang through my head. “Thirty seconds until changes are complete, countdown will resume at 5 seconds.
“Well it seems our little conversation has to be cut short.” The dark gods fangs protruded from his disgusting mouth making a grimace like smile.
“Well my champion I will contact you once I find the first king that I want you to free. For now you are free to level up, and gain experience in this world.”
Beelzebub turned his back and started to walk towards his throne only to stop and turn to face me once again.
“Oh yeah and please do enjoy the gifts, I spent my last 3 minutes and 30 seconds carefully choosing them to fit your needs.”
The last thing that I saw before that oh so annoying darkness once again overtook me was the fly/human hybrids face giving me an arrogant sneer.
AAAANNNNNDDD that's a wrap on this chapter. Next chapter we will get to see some of the things that changed while our protagonist has been in Beelzebub world. I’ve actually not decided what to name the MC yet so i’m thinking that i’ll do a poll even though my average views are only like 52 or somthin cause everyone likes a poll.
