Chapter 5: getting a job
3 week had passed and Max got used to the crowd at the hotel and from what he has been hearing on his new hellphone that Charlie bought for him that hell is in an uproar about the human in hell and apparently he is has become popular enough that succubus and incubus committed on how the wanna do dirty things to him max of course says hell no to that.
Max looked for something else sure he already has a job with the E.X.O corp but this is a different world one that has a hell that apparently is a city and not a place full of lava and screaming souls he figured that he can get a job of course this is only temporary to make ends meet after all Charlie has been letting him stay for free but he decided to make something out of himself if he is stuck in here.
2 caught his interest one is called i.m.p stands for immediate murder professionals he saw an the video of it and its apparently a job were sinners come to then and the imps got to kill whoever screwd over that other when they were alive he honestly didn't like killing people but he learned that some nice people skeletons in there closet his group and E.X.O corp in general get a pass because some of the skeletons are psychopaths lost souls and cultists that kill people for stupid reasons to peace there gods and all that max honestly despises cultists more than lost soul because they are the embodiment of the twisted side of humanity and the result if people in his world found out about spirits and spiritual energy they are gonna turned them into weapons or expirament on the spirits for there own goals but enough about that max was interested in the job but he decided to hold that thought.
He saw another job offering of a succubus called verosika mayday max did some research and found out that verosika is a famous idols in hell and she has a crew of incubus and succubus and a bodyguard a hellhound named vortex he saw how the job was a second bodyguard max did his research on succubus and incubus apparently they come to the living world to feed of the lust of humans
max thought he could control himself around succubuses because he could tell that physicality max is stronger and he learned how to mediate thanks to his step mom who was a shrine maiden and her job was to sell charms as protection from lost souls that want to get grabby but max didn't have any sexual desires he has one person in mind but he wasn't gonna go all horn dog on them but still he is confident he can resist the temptation he is mentally strong enough to do so one of his enemies tried to seduce him and tried to eat him literally but max was mentally strong enough to not be elected too much and pretended to be under her influence.
Max decided to meet verosika in person to get an impression on her and make sure she isn't a man eater
He was left a massage to in his hellphone that said he is looking for a job and she said it was okay and she told him that there is no plans for today.
Max got to the living room got out of the hotel he saw a part of the hotel had a radio tower that gives him vibes that's alastor's place.
Alastor: I see that you noticed My new addition to the hotel.
Max turned to see alastor in creepy smile still on his face.
Max: I let me guess magic?
Alastor: yup thought I'm curious into what are you doing out hell is getting pretty noisy with you around and I got to say it's getting pretty interesting.
Max saw a menacing glint in his eyes and he really wanted to get his sword and cut of his head but he decided to just let it go.
Alastor: Parton my little outburst I did ask where are you going right?
Max: to the lust ring
Alastor: oh may I ask why there?
Max: for a job I figured while I'm stuck here I might as well do something to get what ever people in hell consider money.
Alastor: well I recommend you don't get too entranced that place can get out of hand that's what I've heard anyway I've never been in the lust ring myself
Max was curious about this
Max: you've never been to the lust ring?
Alastor: ah right you wouldn't have known only hellborns can go to other rings and sinners are stuck in the pride ring which is the one you are in now.
Max: huh that kinda sucks
Alastor: heh you win some you lose some now I shouldn't keep you her any longer do your thing.
With that said alastor teleported to max can only assume is the radio tower.
Max then put his hood up and used his black arms to create a mask that looks japanese in design and he coverd his arms with black arms to hide his human hands with his disguise set he went to were the 666 elevators when he got he was surprised on how shining the place is he saw the board and saw that to his luck the lust ring was next to departure the elevators opened and he got on and took a seat lust was four floors downs so max decided to have a little decided to mentality talk to Moline who is in his psyche
Max: so what are the chances that lust is gonna be bad?
Moline: honestly it's anyone's guess pride is chaotic but it's alright but the other rings who knows.
Max: right I hope I get to go back home soon but the chances of a portal opening in front of me is a fat one.
Moline: yeah hopefully exo corp captures the portal opening bastard.
A ding was heard and max looked up to see that he was in the lust ring and max got up and left the 666 elevator he saw how the place completely changed the place was bright with neon lights and a purple sky
He looked on to the address to verosika's studio and got to parkour his way into the address.
At verosika's studio
Verosika sent out a job request to hopefully get the attention of the human she honestly was curious to know about this one because he felt different but she started to think maybe she just wasted her time and accidentally got the attention of some creep in the lust ring she was currently in her room on her hellphone scrolling through social media
but all that keeps coming up is the human in hell some wondered that if he is a hellborn stuck in a human disguise and some other outlandish things but every time she looks at his face she always gets the feeling of someone who actually doesn't screw people over like blitzo and she still hates the fact that she has to share a bulding with that fuck tard.
She took a swig of her flask to hope to forget about blitz and her freelance work she heard a knock from her door and she opened it to see kiki a member of her group.
Kiki: he v there is a guy at the front door to see you and I'm not one to judge but he looks pretty creepy.
Verosika: give Me a minute I'll be there.
Kiki left and verosika got herself ready but she was hopping that it was the human and not someone else because she today she was planning to go to the human world to have some fun and distract herself from her ex.
At a private room in the studio max was being bombarded by the succubus he was just minding his own business and they just got clingy and they made suggestive comments a man would be happy but max was a guy that believes in gender equally he swore to himself if he ever gets a girlfriend he would not do anything unless the other party is fine with it and no he is a straight man sure he called some guts pretty but it was more of a compliment not anything wierd and the incubus are not helping
he calmed his mind he saw how another succubus enter the room but he recognized her from the pictures its was verosika mayday.
Verosika: alright people give him a break we can have fun when we get to the living world.
Coco: oh come on be he is one hell of a catch.
Verosika: again we can have our fun when we get on to the living world...now
Verosika looked at the person in front of her and she saw how he was wearing a black mask and t had a design that she never saw before and she saw how his arms which were black were flickering like a flame she could say this was a unique demon but something felt off he looked at the jacket and she noticed that it looked just the human's if her memory serves her right during the fight his arm was covered in something black and she put two and two together she was internally relieved that her outlandish plan actually worked but she decided to not say anything for now.
Verosika took a seat next to milky and Kat and got to talking.
Verosika: so you come for the job of being my bodyguard?
Max still in disguise didn't notice that verosika figured him out but even if he noticed he wouldn't worry he again was stronger and he can easily kill everyone here if they attack him.
Max: yeah I'm kinda new in hell so I figured why not make a living?
Verosika: oh are you a sinner?
Max: something like that.
Verosika: so tell me a bit about yourself if you want to my bodyguard I need at least know your character.
Max: well I'm a good at killing stuff and I don't have any particular goals well aside from one.
Verosika: and mind telling me what that is?
Max: we I'm looking for a way to go back home but you won't get what I'm talking about.
And yes verosika didn't know what he was talking she had an Idea that he was talking about going back to the human world but she could tell that he was talking about something else.
Verosika: oh sorry I forgot to ask what's your name?
Max: max McKnight.
Verosika: that's a nice name so can you do well in crowds?
Max: yup.
Verosika: now for another question are gay or straight?
Max had a wtf face under his makeshift mask.
Max: okay first why second yes I'm straight if I give any compliments to a guy it's just friendly talk nothing wierd.
Verosika: sorry its just a little joke question but good to know have your priorities checked.
Max: yeah I'm the kinda person that believes in gender equally women can have balls bigger than man at times....wait..oh got damn it don't get any ideas
The group just laughed at the this comment and when it died down verosika decided to end this interview.
Verosika: well I can see that you are a funny guy so I guess it won't hurt having around so congrats you are hired.
Max:thanks I guess.
At that moment the door to the private room opened revealing the a hellhound that max knows as vortex
Vortex: hey boss sorry I'm late I had to help bee to clean up the party and.
Vortex saw verosika and her group were all in the room but there was another person that he never saw before.
Vortex: who this?
Verosika: about time you came and this is my new second bodyguard max McKnight hope you play nice Boys.
Vortex got up to max and he put up his hand for a hand shake.
Vortex: nice to meet you max.
Max took it and shook it
Max: nice to meet you too vortex.
Verosika clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.
Verosika: all right people listen up now that vortex is here we are going to the human world to have some fun and it will be the first test of our new bodyguard.
After maki that verosika got out a yellow Cristal in and when she touched it a portal opened to an alleyway this sorta surprised max but he was delt with territories of lost souls and cultists so this is the first reality bending like thing he saw.
Verosika: let's go maxi
With that the group entered the portal and max followed suit
