How it started

A high school senior named Dollen one day found himself in a presence of a young demon, Neo. Neo was tasked to get his first soul and what better target than a high schooler? Young, full of ungodly unobtainable goals and fill with life. The mission couldn’t be easier! “So kid, what do you desire?” Neo asked, floating around Dollen as if he was pressuring him to agree “Money? Frame? Maybe you have a crush who won’t return your feeling?” He guessed. Dollen is 18 what else could he possibly be thinking about? It was almost comical for Neo. ‘Human are so easy to read’ he laugh to himself

“I…” Dollen spoke up as he keep his eyes on the floor almost like he was hesitating to accept the demon offer. “You can truly give me anything?” He asked, finally look at Neo, turning ever so slightly to follow his movements. This make the young demon smirk, just as he thought, a young, stupid human child couldn’t resist such an opportunity.

“Of course I can!” Neo answered, leaning in closer to Dollen’s face “You’re looking at a state of the art demon here, best of the best” he said obviously exaggerating. If not that then he’s just the type to like his own reflection way too much “anything you can dream of is my command”

“In exchange for my soul” Dollen finished the sentence, looking to the floor as he consider the offer. Neo smirk and pat Dollen’s head “fast learner” he complimented but it hardly genuine. The boy contemplated of a moment, not saying anything at all. It’s making Neo feel impatient. He was about to say something to pressure the kid even more but Dollen finally spoke up “Can you…can you mess with time?” He asked a bit hesitantly

“Ooo what, need something change?” Neo asked, flipping himself over in the air playfully “Embarrassing moment? Something you regret? What’s the tea?” At this point he’s just toying with his food with all the teasing now

“I…” Dollen stopped himself for a moment before he find his words again “I failed a test. I-I want to get an A” he asked which puzzle Neo. This kid is willing to sell his soul for a grade? In high school? How idiotic can human get? “Yeah sure” Neo shrugged, deciding not to get involved too much “So, just change your grade—?”

“No” Dollen interrupted. He took a deep breath and finally look back up at the demon who is slightly intrigued by the boy “I want…I want to take it again.” He said with a bit more confidence than he had before “I want to— redo the year— as much as I need to to make my record is absolutely perfect” he continued making Neo even more confused “Can…can you do that?” He asked, becoming more hesitant again

“Let me get this straight” Said the demon as he set his foot on the ground in front of Dollen “You willing to sell YOUR SOUL for a high school gpa? When I can just snap my fingers and change your grade?” Dollen hesitantly nodded which make Neo snicker in disbelief “Kid, you’re absolutely insane!” He laughed “but yeah, I can do that easy”

“Really?”

“Sure, I want to see how miserable this turn out for you” Neo giggled as offer his hand, his magic engulfing the room “your soul for your grade” a wicked smile plastered on Neo’s face “do we have a deal then?”

Dollen only hesitated for a brief moment before he take a gulp and take a breath, shaking Neo’s hand. And just like that the deal is set. Dollen’s soul will be Neo’s as soon as the deal is complete. That was four years ago. To Neo’s dismay, Dollen keep failing his class and every time his grade got worse and worse. It’s about time Neo finally confronted him. It was funny the first 3 times it happened but this had been going on for four years! It almost like Dollen was doing it on purpose at this point.

How this blog and story came to be:

“lol what if I use an on going joke I have with my peers to name my thesis”

I want to grab my fellow burnt out kids by the throat and make us feel seen but also attack us directly for my own entertainment

Purely self indulgent of things I enjoyed

The idea of “demon making a deal with this random guy for his soul in exchange for ‘guaranteed’ chance of success only to end in the demon yelling at the kid like ‘HOW ARE YOU FAILING FOR THE 20TH TIMES! IT’S JUST MATHS AND NUMBERS!’ and yoink said maths and numbers only to be confused why there’s letters in it” is medium to large funny to me

How it started

April fool’s day experience

Character sheet - Dollen

Dollen is a typical overachiever teen. A’s in every subject, perfect records, a valedictorian in every way. He live his whole life by the book. One day in class, a topic of college and university major was brought up. It was normal, they’re high school senior year after all. However, when it’s Dollen’s turn his mind seems to draw a blank. What is his future? He has every opportunity he could have as a high schooler but…what next? Dollen doesn’t know. All he knows is this is what his parents always encouraged him to do, get high grade, get into a good university and study ‘good major’. Ever since then he had been spiraling down a rabbit hole, panicking over his future and can’t seem to be able to concentrate on anything he wants to do.

Upon meeting Neo by chance an idea come to Dollen’s mind. “What if he doesn’t have to choose? What if the future wait for him to make up his mind?”

Character sheet - Neo

Neo is a young demon from “The City” an under underworld for the demons and underworld staffs. One day he made a bet with his peer over how fast he could capture a human soul, something that the elders prohibited due to past problems with humans and demons. He sneaked in to the human world, immediately go to a random high school, thinking teenagers would give him an easy win on the bet. That’s when he meet Dollen and where his bet turn from “how fast he could capture a human soul” to “how long will they deal go for”

“Is it so wrong that I’m scared of what come next? Of the future I can no longer see?

I was promised a dream. If I studied, if I get the grade, I’ll get anything I want. But now that reality setting in…

I don’t know who I am anymore.

Was I someone to begin with? Was all these effort my doing or just me following orders?

…How can I continue with life if i don’t even know that much?”

Dollen, breaking down: If I don’t have grades— if I don’t have this then…who am I?

Neo, never comfort anyone in his life: ………A fucking nobody like the rest of us?

Neo: In all my time being a demon, I have never seen such evil, such despicable, to think a human would stoop so low.

Dollen: you told me to reconnect the WiFi—

What if I make a Dollen with the theme fading sun because he’s loosing his way and completely lost but by the end he’d find his way and evolve into a rising sun into a new chapter of his life AND make his parents cloud theme because they’re always there with him and support him but they could never truly guide him like the Neo with the guiding star theme AND—
