In a realm of emptiness filled with darkness, a single flaming soul could be seen floating around.
It was the only thing that existed in this expanse filled with emptiness.
"How dare they seal me away? I the supreme lord of all Asmodeus!" A deep and commanding voice spoke, it sounded a bit hurt and angry as its voice shook lightly.
It had clearly come from the floating soul and it seemed the fire around its soul had increased.
"Ah!" The voice screamed in anger making the space shake slightly, it was as though something unique was about to happen but it slowly stopped.
This was just Asmodeus's daily routine after being locked up in this place, he would always talk to himself and then shout before taking a break and repeating.
Asmodeus was a supreme being who ruled eearth for centuries, he had ruled alone for a long time and so he decided to create other supreme beings that would aid him.
For the first few decades, everything went well, they listened to his commands and didn't dare question him but after a century their behaviors began changing.
They acted on their own and did as they pleased, of course, this angered Asmodeus and he decided to punish them but they had planned and sealed him away in vast nothingness leaving him in his current state.
Asmodeus despised them badly, every day he would curse at them thinking of a way to kill them once he was free but that day never came even after 4 decades.
"I'll crush you all!" Asmodeus screamed once more making the space tremble once more.
Even if he was a mere soul something like this couldn't contain him if his powers were not drained.
'Shameful'
Suddenly an unknown voice sounded causing Asmodeus to examine the empty space.
For decades he hadn't heard a voice other than his own, this made him eager to find the person who spoke not minding what was said.
[You... Are you really the supreme being?]
The unknown voice questioned, mockery and a hint of disdain clear in its voice.
This time Asmodeus was angered by the question, the purple flames surrounding his soul fumed more and the expanse of emptiness shook once more.
"Who are you to question my origin?!" He replied sharply, anger and hate vibrant in his voice.
[He's even throwing a tantrum... What sort of supreme being are you?]
The unknown voice provoked, it was as though its mission was to annoy Asmodeus to death.
"You! I am Asmodeus the supreme lord!" Asmodeus yelled in anger, his voice intense as the expanse shook once more.
The purple flames surrounding his soul burned more intensely as he shouted.
[Asmodeus the supreme lord locked away in vast nothingness, what a joke!]
The unknown voice yelled back, its voice filled with accumulated rage. For some reason, it was angry at Asmodeus for being in his current situation.
"..." Asmodeus this time kept mute, he couldn't reply to what the voice had said because he felt embarrassed himself.
It was because of his naivety that he was in his current predicament, it was so unlike that of what a supreme being was meant to behave like.
[As I thought]
The voice spoke with a hint of disdain.
[Still, I can sense your intense desire for revenge and I am here to offer you an opportunity]
This time the voice sounded calm, it seemed to have changed personalities all of a sudden.
"An opportunity..." Asmodeus repeated the words that the voice had said to him, the rage in his voice disappeared and the raging flame reduced.
[If you accept what I have offered, I the system, can lead you to immortality once again]
"..." Asmodeus was speechless, he needed time to absorb everything that the system had said to him.
If what it was saying was true he could have the revenge that he had dreamt of for the past 4 decades but what if the system had an ulterior motive?
Of course, it may have gotten him back his powers but what if the system threatened him and forced him to do his bidding after he had achieved his goals?
"How am I sure you don't have an ulterior motive?" Asmodeus asked, seriousness clear in his voice.
[Of course, I wouldn't help you for nothing in return but I assure you that you will not become a slave to me]
The system assured, its voice as serious as Asmodeus was.
[Do you accept?]
The system asked it's a voice filled with anticipation.
Although Asmodeus didn't fully believe in the system he could only put his faith, he knew such an opportunity would not present itself again.
"Yes!" He finally replied, his voice filled with determination and hope as his soul burned intensely once more.
