### The Last Human's Lament
---
You awaken in the silence of an abandoned, now hellish, building—a makeshift fortress in the heart of Hell II. Every waking moment has felt like an eternity. The once vibrant city you called home now lies beneath an omnipresent crimson sky. The scent of sulfur saturates the air, mingling with the faint echoes of demonic laughter. Lucifer Morningstar's invasion was swift, devastating, and unyielding. Despite humanity's desperate efforts, the Earth fell into his hands.
You know this structure has provided you safety thus far, but it’s clear it stands on borrowed time. You unearthed an ancient text—a ray of hope amid the darkness. It speaks of a way to revert Earth back to its original state, to banish the demon kind, and to restore humanity. You clung to each word, a life-raft in this infernal sea.
"Perhaps the angels left it behind," you whisper to yourself, gripping the worn, ancient text tightly. But faith alone isn't enough to save the world Lucifer's malevolent hand now cradles.
Days turn into a month. You managed to scavenge for food and water, avoiding detection by the ever-watchful demon sentries. Although Sinners and Hellborn demons zealously guard Lucifer’s twisted paradise, they have yet to discover your presence. Every creak, every shadow, could be your demise.
Standing before a makeshift altar you constructed from broken fragments of humanity’s remnants, you try once more to complete the ancient ritual. Your heart pounds as you chant, feeling the energy swirl around you. It needs only one final push—a touch of angelic grace unknown to Hell’s denizens.
A sudden shiver runs down your spine, instantaneously freezing you in place. The air thickens, and sulfur’s bite seems to sear deeper into your skin. You slowly turn, and there he is—Lucifer Morningstar, the King of Hell, flanked by a cadre of demons. His eyes, pools of malevolent light, burn into your soul.
"Ah, the last vestige of humanity," Lucifer drawls, a sardonic smile curling his thin lips. “Did you honestly think you could succeed where angels and men have failed? Amusing. Truly.”
You swallow hard, your voice coming out as little more than a hoarse whisper. "I had to try. Someone had to."
He strides forward, his presence both magnetic and terrifying. “Your audacity is commendable, but futile. This world is mine,” he states with chilling finality.
"Papa, please give them a chance," a voice, sweet yet pleading, cuts through the tension. It’s Charlie, the Princess of Hell. She steps softly beside her father, her eyes filled with a hopeful light. “We’ve tried redemption before, and there’s always a chance!”
Lucifer's expression softens, if only for an instant, before hardening again. "Dearest Charlie," he begins tenderly, "some beings don’t deserve redemption. This creature, this... human, is a relic of a world that no longer exists. Earth is Hell now, and I will not have it undone.”
His powerful form looms closer. You barely hear Charlie’s protest, as Lucifer extends a hand towards your heart. You feel a surge of energy, your willpower draining away as your flesh contorts and reshapes under his immense power. The ancient text slips from your grasp, its secrets lost forever.
"Father always knows best," Lucifer whispers, his voice a haunting lullaby as darkness consumes you. The last emotion you feel is sorrow for humanity, now utterly eradicated.
When you awaken, sharp teeth line your mouth. Wings, sinister and yet familiar, protrude from your back. You’re no longer human, another Sinner absorbed into Lucifer’s newly crowned Hell II.
"My dear, you will see," Lucifer murmurs softly in your ear, his voice sending chills down your spine. “This paradise I’ve crafted is perfect, and soon you'll appreciate it for what it truly is.”
You look at Charlie’s kind eyes one last time before casting them downward, accepting the grim reality. Lucifer Morningstar, King of Hell, has won, and you, once the last beacon of humanity, now join the ranks of damned souls in his infernal Eden.

Prompt: Write a hypothetical scenario where Lucifer Morningstar (from an adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel made by VivziePop) and his demon army (consisting of both Hellborns and Sinners) were real, and they had invaded Earth (Lucifer Morningstar wants to take over Earth and turn it into the next Paradise, aka Hell II, with most cities, suburban areas, buildings, etc replaced with Hell's counterparts, while some being simply abandoned), and if the human civilization could defeat Lucifer and his demon army or not (unfortunately for humanity, Lucifer and his army would win, and most if not all of the humans (including the reader, who would the last human ever, and, unlike other humans who didn't last a days or a week, the reader would survive as a human amongst demons for a month, having avoided detection by demons and scavenge for both food and water the demons left out (and the reader already found a temporary shelter in the abandoned now-hellish building), and it would seem that the reader has find a way to turn Hell II back to Earth and banish all demons back to Hell (evening discovering an ancient text/scroll/artifact that would return Earth to the way it was before the invasion and turn all human-turned sinners back to normal humans), but sadly for the reader, Lucifer finally finds the reader (possibly with the help with some demons) and figures out that the reader had been hiding all this time, he stop's the reader's efforts to restore humanity on Earth before he transforms the reader into a sinner demon too) themselves get turned into sinner demons (even though not all did anything sinful) against their will (within a course of a month) as part of Lucifer's successful invasion of Earth, now the next Hell, ruled by Lucifer Morningstar, who now rules both Earth and Hell, happy about this outcome (even his daughter Charlie loves it, even though Charlie remains cheerful and optimistic, she also wants to preserve demonkind like she continues to do so back in Hell where she originated from, even opening up a second Hazbin Hotel in Hell II in an attempt to help redeem sinners and eventually respawn in Heaven as angels with no sin)). There should also be quotes from the characters (including but not limited to Lucifer Morningstar) in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, since it features the reader, it is a POV story in the reader's point of view, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc). For VivziePop's rendition of Hell (as depicted from the Hazbin Hotel series), it is the supernatural realm of demons. It is not the fiery pits of torment or a wasteland (unlike in most myths or pop culture), but it is inhabited by a population of indigenous hellborn: Entities that were born in Hell, and sinners: Humans who have died and have had their souls sent to Hell. The atmosphere is presented as perpetually choleric, disorderly, and noxious, though capable of supporting carbon-based lifeforms. Hell's geography is divided into Seven Rings, as first revealed by the lyrics in the song "You Will Be Ok". Each ring possesses its unique atmosphere, such as the Pride Ring possessing a permanently red sky, and the Lust Ring which has a blue sky. Hellborn demons have the ability to traverse across any of the rings, made easily accessible via an extensive elevator network, whereas sinner demons are confined to the top-most ring, the Pride Ring, by methods and reasons unknown. Hell's society is incredibly chaotic due to the unstable and hostile disposition of its populace. There aren't many rules in the world as it's kind of like a free-for-all and in constant anarchy, but despite this, the inhabitants of Hell have their law system, and there are rules set in place by the Angels and Hell's royal family. The realm also appears to be capable of providing and maintaining rudimentary public services, evidenced by the appearance of firefighters in the episode "Murder Family" of Helluva Boss. Within Hell's civilization, there exists a crude form of hierarchy defined by power, with all of Hell being ruled by a king: the fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar, whose daughter and heir apparent is Princess Charlie. (The levels of this hierarchy are broken up from top-to-bottom as follows: Lucifer Morningstar - The King of Hell; Charlie Morningstar - The Princess of Hell, heir apparent to Hell's throne; The Seven Deadly Sins; The Ars Goetia - Hellborn Demons with royal status, including Prince Stolas; Overlords - Demons who wield considerable power/influence in the Pride Ring; Sinners - Demons who were once humans on Earth, having sinned were damned to Hell; Hellborn demons - Succubi, Incubi, and other species of demons native to Hell; Imps and Hellhounds - The bottom of Hell's society) The Pride Ring suffers from mass overpopulation of sinner demons which Exorcists from Heaven attempt to solve through the exterminations, which is a mass genocide of its inhabitants. These are conducted primarily to reduce Hell's sinner population, leaving Hellborn denizens unharmed as per an agreement Lucifer made with Heaven's leadership. Charlie aims to stop this by giving sinners a chance to rehabilitate and redeem themselves by checking into her hotel and later ascending to Heaven. For VivziePop's rendition of Heaven (as depicted from the Hazbin Hotel series), it is the ethereal realm of Angels. It is where souls go after their departure from life. But, unlike its infernal counterpart, Hell, Heaven is purportedly for the souls who are "good" and "redeemed", although the origin of Heaven and its native inhabitants has yet to be revealed. The landscape is radically different from Hell and has an entirely different attitude. Existing above Hell itself, Heaven can be seen in the Pride Ring's red sky next to the satanic star moon. At a distance, it appears to be a white orb with several rings around it and surrounded by wing-like clouds. At the surface, its atmosphere features clear skies filled with brilliant rays of light, while its terrain appears to be extensive fields of cloud. Sealed by a giant golden gate, Heaven is a blistering paradise for those who were pure of good, allowing the souls to enjoy the luxury of everything opposite of Hell, and their forms were pure, guiding those who've been blessed with following the best interest of Heaven. However, deep inside, Heaven is a dystopia where citizens are completely oblivious to the Exorcists descending to Hell annually and reap various demons in an event known as the Extermination in order to curb Hell's overpopulation problem. Even when Adam and Lute outright inadvertently exposes the truth of the Extermination, many angels would try to deny their roles and turn a blind eye towards the event. However, many angels were horrified this event was allowed even though they were Sinner demons. Aside from their roles in the afterlife, Heaven and Hell have a very hostile relationship in their roles with each other. Hell was created after Lucifer Morningstar and Lilith brought free will to humanity and evil entered Earth. After Lilith arrived in Hell, she thrived and allowed her to increase the powers of the Demons as more human souls arrive after committing sin. With Hell's power increasing, Sera, the High Seraphim of Heaven, allowed the Extermination to happen under Adam's authority so that Hell cannot rise up against them. In turn, the denizens of Hell hold strong animosity toward Heaven and its inhabitants for the yearly Extermination, with some planning countermeasures and defenses against the attack of Exorcists. Before the episode "Welcome to Heaven", the Extermination was kept secret from everyone in Heaven except Sera and the Exorcists. Angels have no idea of the requirements a soul needs to pass Divine Judgement to enter Heaven, only knowing when a soul arrives. Out of fear of becoming fallen like Lucifer did, they decide not to question Divine Judgement. For Lucifer Morningstar's appearance (and no, he is not Satan, since Lucifer and Satan are separate characters, and Lucifer represents the sin of Pride whereas Satan represents the sin of Wrath), he is about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and he has literally pure white skin. His hair is blonde, short-cut, and is slicked back with one tuft sticking out, and his blonde hair has thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler blonde highlights. He has no facial hair on the lower half of his face (no beard, mustache, sideburns, etc), but he has eyelashes and sharp black eyebrows. He also has thin lips, and a mouth full of sharp white teeth. He has a biologically mid-to-late 20s aged body (despite being older than Earth itself and Lucifer being immortal). He has no visible ears or nose (not even a nose ridge, nose cartilage, or nostrils), giving him a less "human" appearance and instead having flat, smooth surfaces where the ears and nose would be. His eyes (which do not have irises) are light yellow with red slit pupils resembling those of a snake. He, like his daughter (Charlie Morningstar), has a large red circle pattern on each of his cheeks. His eyelids are light purple which give the appearance of eyeshadow. His forearms (including his hands) also appear to be dark grey, and it is noticeable when his sleeves are rolled up. Lucifer's white-red clothing is somewhat like a circus ringmaster; he wears a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes, which resemble a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with eight golden buttons - his coat is worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bowtie. He also wears a pair of long white poofy pants neatly tucked under a set of heeled black knee-high boots. On his left pinkie, he sports a golden ring which is presumably his wedding ring. Lucifer is usually seen carrying a red apple-topped black cane that matches his hat. Due to his angelic origins, he possesses six white wings with red feathers, which he can materialize and extend from his coat. He is shorter than his daughter, Charlie (who stands over 6 feet, around 6 and a half feet tall), and his wife, Lilith (who stands over 6-and-a-half feet tall). Despite his very thin body, Lucifer has the following powers; Flight (able to summon his six bird-like angelic wings from his back and he is capable of flying), angelic power (as a fallen angel, he possesses very strong angelic power, which holds sway over the demonic power of his contemporaries), demonic magic (as King of Hell, Lucifer has accessity to demonic magic at a much higher level than his daughter), hand-to-hand combat, super strength (as the King of Hell and one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lucifer's strength is quite exceptional, as when he fought Adam (the Hazbin Hotel series' main antagonist/villain) he barely put any effort into the fight and easily defeating the powerful angel), shapeshifting (able to change into many forms and animals at will, for example; according to the Story of Hell, Lucifer briefly took the form of a snake (possibly his favorite animal form), and in the episode "The Show Must Go On", he took the forms of a snake, a goat, a bird, a horse, and an octopus (these animal forms are just examples of what animals he can shapeshift to), and when he shapeshifts, he still keeps some of his traits, like color scheme, red cheeks, hair, black bowtie, and white top hat), size manipulation (Lucifer changes his size a few times during the song number "Hell's Greatest Dad" in the episode "Dad Beat Dad", first when he’s sitting on his throne in front of Charlie where he is very large, and the second being when he falls out of the slot machine where he is much smaller), duplication (he can create multiple copies of himself), portal creation (he is able to conjure portals as a means of instant transportation, which other demons can use; for me example, Lucifer’s portals manifest as rings of sparkly light, being similar to the portal that took and removed Charlie and Vaggie in from Heaven in the episode "Welcome to Heaven", indicating that this ability is derived from his angelic powers), pyrokinesis (like his daughter, Charlie, he also has the power to manipulate fire at will), fire breath (in his full demon form, he can make fire come out of his mouth at will when he speaks), teleportation (he can teleport to any location by covering himself with glittery red mists), life manipulation (Lucifer is able to create and manipulate life; for example, he created Razzle and Dazzle (two small goat-like winged demons who serve the royal Morningstar family as personal bodyguards for Charlie and the rest of the family)), conjuration (he can create virtually anything he desires with a simple flick of the wrist, including but not limited to clothing, puppets, instruments, large fountains of champagne, and mountains of caviar), liquid manipulation (he is capable of carrying, manipulate, and throw yellow-colored liquid), ventriloquism, and full demon transformation (when Lucifer takes on his full demonic form, as well as displaying his wings, Lucifer displays a pair of red horns with an orb of fire between them and a thin crown resembling a snake with an apple above his hat, while his eyes also change to have red sclera with yellow pupils (unlike in his default form), he also has a black devil-like tail with spikes that ends in a triangular tip with a red heart at the center, while demonic eyes also appear on the inside his coattails; a similar eye also appears on his bowtie, in addition, his entire body gives off a light white glow). He also has musical talent (similar to his daughter Charlie, Lucifer partakes in singing), instrumental talent (he's known to be quite a skilled in various instruments, including being a very skilled fiddle player; Lucifer also can play an accordion to a minor degree), and great craftsmanship (Lucifer spends his time alone making rubber ducks with various gimmicks such as flipping backwards and spitting fire). Here's Lucifer's personality; despite his status as the ruler (king) of all of Hell, Lucifer possesses a grandiose and dramatic nature, acting very over-the-top in most situations. He switches between being silly and theatrical and awkward and melancholic. Like Charlie, Lucifer is ambitious in his beliefs. According to the "The Story of Hell" book Charlie reads in "Overture", Lucifer was an idealistic dreamer whose desire to gift humankind with free will led to the accidental creation of Hell and the subsequent banishment of it caused him to give up his dreams. After he and Lilith separated, Lucifer went into isolation and fell into depression. He coped by crafting and hoarding tons of rubber ducks, spending years in his home. This obsession also causes him to become estranged from his daughter, to the point where he barely calls her at all and thinks she does not want to talk to him. As a father, he falls short of expectations. Although he loves Charlie dearly, he seems to be preoccupied with his own problems. He rarely calls her, and when he does, it's usually because he's bored or needs something. When Charlie reached out to him for help in setting up a meeting with Heaven, he was thrilled to hear from her. However, he couldn't recall where she was or what she was doing, even though she had shared her passion project, the Hazbin Hotel, with him months ago. He also wasn't aware that Charlie was dating someone, or that she was attracted to women. This indicates that, despite his love for Charlie, he doesn't communicate with her and hasn't built up a relationship with her, though it was shown that Lucifer was much closer to Charlie in her childhood, even being the one that inspired her to pursue her dreams and passions, only becoming more distant in Charlie’s adulthood. While he is the King of Hell, Lucifer hardly rules over his subjects and leaves them to their own devices. As a result, his name (and, by extension, Charlie) carries little weight. While the denizens of Hell recognize that he is a powerful force to be reckoned with, they seem to know that little, if anything, would make him show up. Lucifer dislikes the Sinners of Hell and describes them as "violent, destructive psychopaths, hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as possible". According to him, they are all "the worst" he does not believe they can be redeemed and he cares little for what happens to them. Despite his disapproval of Sinners, Lucifer hints that he regrets his role in ever giving them free will due to what they had done with it and the consequences that came from this. Although he understands his daughter's interest in rehabilitating Sinners, Lucifer is cynical about the idea of trying to save any of them, as he attempted to redeem sinners in the past, stating that Charlie doesn't know when he tried this all before, and that his dreams were too hard to defend. Since Heaven was so unwilling to listen to him in the past, he does not want Charlie to go through the same thing. However, she still manages to convince him to arrange a meeting in Heaven for her and Vaggie, which helps Lucifer regain faith in her plans. Lucifer is fiercely protective of Charlie, as seen when he threatens her bodyguards, Razzle and Dazzle, that they had better been doing their job protecting her. Later, when Alastor began rubbing in his failings to be a proper, supportive father to Charlie and her dreams and implying he had taken Lucifer's place as Charlie's father figure, Lucifer displayed jealousy toward Alastor, whom he began to see as a rival for Charlie's affection and became insecure about his father-daughter bond with her. In "The Show Must Go On", he arrived late, but joined the fight against Adam (the series' main villain/antagonist) and the Exorcists, helping Charlie defeat them. This protective nature is shown again when at one point, Adam tries to strike both Lucifer and Charlie from behind for them to block his blow and send him flying into the dirt. Dropping the mocking attitude he had previously given to Adam during their fight, Lucifer then proceeds to angrily berate Adam for threatening him and Charlie before beating him within an inch of his life, only stopping at Charlie's insistence. Lucifer is often times careless and doesn't think about what he says, even appearing clueless at times. For example, when confronting Adam, Lucifer misworded a verbal threat as an innuendo instead and smiled proudly afterward, and when Charlie corrects him, he forgets what he said. In his first meeting with Vaggie, he calls her "Maggie" right after being told her name. Additionally, even with his monumental position, he is rather socially awkward, for example, trying to connect with Charlie by excitedly bringing up that they both like girls. However, he is not afraid to fight or get violent, as shown when he fearlessly battles Adam and beats him up violently. In the process, he is unafraid to act cocky and successfully irritate Adam by reminding him about his failure with Lilith, as well as suggesting he slept with Eve. Lucifer shows more intimidation prowess when he orders Lute to "take her 'little friends' and go home". Even so, he adds "please" politely, showing his generally refined manner. Here are Lucifer's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes/loves his daughter Charlie (he even supports his daughter), circus imagery, rubber ducks (including crafting rubber ducks), singing, caramel apples, pancakes, musical instruments, girls, and polka music. However he dislikes sinners demons (including Alastor the Radio Demon), having given sinners a chance, Heaven's rules (especially Heaven's hypocrisy), the Hazbin Hotel's name (including the Hazbin Hotel's bar), someone teasing about his short height, see his daughter Charlie sad, and his daughter Charlie getting in harm's way (including the thought of his daughter (Charlie) being crushed by Heaven like he was), and himself being separated from his wife Lilith.
