Welcome to the Netherworld!

[lazyvassals]

[It is difficult to define what a normal afternoon is by Netherworld standards. In the dark, torch-lit halls of the Overlord's Castle, penguin-suited prinnies totter about pretending to do work, while most other vassals make no effort at all to pretend. No fights have broken out yet, but it is questionable how long that will last with the Overlord being awake. It is just the sort of calm that comes before something unexpected happens, or someone makes it happen out of boredom.

And that is precisely when the first stranger comes through the swirling vortex of the Dimensional Gate.

It doesn't seem so unusual at first, because people use that gate on a daily basis. But more people start to show up, people who aren't demons. The Gatekeeper herself has no idea where they've come from, or how they've found their way to the Netherworld.

Unfortunately, neither do the unexpected guests.]

... I dunno, they seemed pretty much in just for the whole "killing all humans" thing... mostly.

So maybe mine is just full of jerks.

[I mean, some of them had reasons... not that she approved of them, but the rest? Beats her.]

"Kill all humans" seems like a pretty good reason for them to deserve a hell of a beatdown.

[He smiles, in spite of things. That was more of what he was used to: beating down bad guys for doing bad things. He could get behind that.]

My name's Adell, by the way. Good to meet you.

Heh, and they did!

[She intended it to make it sound as happy and victorious as she could, but there was some sadness in her tone, not that she really realized it, and anyway, this wasn't very important.]

Oh right! I'm Priere, from the Church of the Holy Maiden. Nice to meet you too.

[Hey, guess being randomly teleported to the Netherworld isn't all that bad.]
