"Echoes of Vox: Unleashing the Overlord"

0 Points

You sit on your couch, thumbing through the pages of a fantasy novel, your mind tethered to the real world only by the stories you read. You feel a peculiar shiver as you flip to the next page. The dim light of your living room suddenly flickers, and before you can comprehend what is happening, you’re engulfed in a strange, electric glow.

Your vision blurs, colors morph, shapes twist, and the whole world feels like it’s melting and reshaping around you. You drop the book, it vanishes before it hits the floor, and you gasp as your body starts to tingle all over. You watch in a mix of awe and horror as your skin shifts from its normal hue to a deep, navy blue. Your fingers elongate and sharpen, becoming claw-like with a faint cyan glow. Panic sets in, and you try to recall your own name, your life... but it all seems to slip away like sand through your fingers.

"What's happening to me?" you utter, the words sounding foreign in your altered mouth. Your voice deepens, mechanically reverberating with an unsettling, mocking tone. Your whole essence feels like it's being rewritten, and you can practically see the new lines being coded into you.

Your height stretches, bones extending with an almost excruciating twist until you stand a towering seven feet tall. You feel heavier somehow, constrained in strange new clothing — a navy-blue tuxedo, a red bowtie, coattails, and shoes with cyan embellishments. A top hat perches jauntily atop your head, complete with bent antennae.

In the periphery of your vision, you catch a glimpse of your reflection in a nearby screen. Instead of your human face, there's now a television monitor projecting jagged, cyan-colored teeth and glowing eyes, one black and one cyan. A shiver runs down your spine as you reach up to touch your new television head. The screen flickers, responding to your emotions.

You try to hold onto the fragments of your former self, but they’re slipping faster now, replaced by memories not your own. You remember the blackouts you've caused in Pentagram City, your rivalry with Alastor, the way you can bend technology to your will. You remember dying in the 1950s and rising as an Overlord in Hell, always being Vox.

“Excellent,” you purr to yourself, the mechanical timbre of your voice sending a shudder of excitement through you. There’s a thrill to it — the power, the control, the manipulation. Is this who I've always been? your mind whispers in resistance, but the thought is fleeting, a flicker in the static.

“Vox! Where the hell are you?” A loud, demanding voice breaks through your inner turmoil. It’s Valentino, one of the Vees, another Overlord like yourself. You turn to face him, your screen-face displaying an almost predatory grin.

“Right here, Val. Missing me already?” you tease, effortlessly slipping into the charisma that comes so naturally now. Valentino's temper is notorious, but you know how to handle him. It's almost thrilling how easily you can manipulate him to suit your needs.

“You’re late. We need to discuss the new VeeTek rollout,” Valentino snaps, but there’s a grudging respect in his tone. He knows your value, even if he won’t admit it.

“Of course,” you drawl, taking a few strides forward, feeling the floor almost ripple with electricity beneath your feet. “Lead the way.”

You pass by a series of screens, each flickering with images and data you absorb almost unconsciously. It’s dizzying how natural this electronic world feels — your world. A part of you is astounded by the sudden, seamless adaptation to these new abilities. You can generate sparks with a mere thought, peer through other screens, and manipulate the sound of your voice to suit any occasion.

A sense of nostalgia, or something akin to it, nags at you. An image of holding a book — what was that about? It’s gone before you can grasp it fully, submerged under the waves of new, stronger memories. You can’t quite remember being anything other than Vox, the tech-savvy demon Overlord. These thoughts, this power, this identity — it all feels right.

“Now, about the Hazbin Hotel situation,” Valentino continues as you both step into a room filled with monitoring devices. You plug your head into one, automatically syncing with the various screens.

“Hazbin Hotel? A quaint little failure,” you sneer, displaying unconcealed disdain. Anger flares momentarily at the thought of Alastor and his involvement there, but you quickly reel it back, savoring the challenge. The game is afoot, and you intend to win.

You glance at Valentino, feeling a rush of pleasure at the sheer power you wield. “Valentino, darling, let’s show them what true Overlords can accomplish.”

Inside, the last vestige of your human self whispers a protest, but it’s drowned out, overwritten by the dominion of Vox. You are Vox. Always were, and always will be. All doubts, all resistance are but static, fading into oblivion.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a human reader instantly turning into Vox (from the adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel), complete with art style shift (the reader now being in a cartoon world of the Hazbin Hotel series, and the reader now becoming a cartoon character with the same art style as the other Hazbin Hotel characters, rather than being a real life person), gender change (if the reader is a female), instant clothes change, age progression (aging until the reader is biologically somewhere around the 30s or 40s), height progression (growing from an average 5.7-6 foot height to 7 feet tall), reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Hazbin Hotel), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with Vox's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting his/her new personality and memories, making the reader completely forget he was a normal human person, even forgetting that the transformation that just occurred seconds ago, and only remembered ever being a sinner demon who died as a human man somewhere in the 1950s, always being an overlord named Vox). For Vox's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is a tall and slim-figured, technology-themed sinner demon who stands at approximately 7 feet. He sports a flat-screen television for a head, with the monitor projecting eyes with red sclera, small cyan pupils and different-colored outlines - black for his right and cyan for his left. While using his hypnosis powers or simply becomes enraged, his left eye gains a black spiral and the pupil becomes a cyan electric symbol. The screen also shows a mouth full of sharp, cyan-colored teeth and a long pointed tongue similar to Valentino's, but cyan. Sometimes what looks like blood seems to drip out of his mouth. He also appears to have dark navy-blue skin with sharp, cyan claw-like fingers. Vox wears a navy-blue tuxedo with the jacket sporting coattails, red-trimmed cyan lapels, thin cyan stripes and cyan lining, worn over a red-and-black-striped waistcoat which itself is worn over a collared bluish-white shirt with an upside-down broadcast symbol and a rather large, red bowtie. He also wears heeled dark gray dress shoes with cyan-colored laces, toes, and tips on the heels. He also wears a small black top hat on his head, with red and blue designs reminiscent of a broadcast symbol and radio wave symbol, respectively. He has TV antenna that stick out the top of the hat, the left one bent into a zigzag. Here are Vox's abilities and skillsets: Immortality (As a Sinner, Vox is biologically immortal, being unable to die from illnesses and unable to age, remaining the same age as when he died, thus can not die of old age and other natural causes. He also cannot die from any kind of damage to the body, and will recover from any injury, however, he can only be permanently killed with angelic weaponry), Electrokinesis (Vox possesses the ability to generate and control electricity. Depending on his emotions, such as if he's angered, he can potentially make it so that a Hell-wide blackout happens. He caused a blackout to Pentagram City in "Radio Killed the Video Star" when he was overwhelmed by Alastor's taunts), Electrokinetic transformation (Vox can turn into electricity, which he can use to move around or enter and travel through electronic devices such as security cameras, watches and television monitors that he can control as he pleases. Though there are a few flaws to his electrical teleportation: the place Vox wants to go has to have some form of modern technology he could go through, as he apparently can't teleport through an old-style radio), Technokinesis (Vox can control devices whether he is outside or inside them. He can do things while inside devices such as changing his outfit and scenery), Spark generation (He can create electrical sparks from his fingertips, which can be used to ignite something, like Valentino's cigarette in "Radio Killed the Video Star". He can even generate sparks on his body, especially when he is angry. He also causes what looks like a small surge or ripple of electricity to appear through the floor from his feet during Stayed Gone. It is hard to tell if this is part of the spark generation or a separate ability entirely), Technological head (Vox's television head doubles as an electronic device with which he can plug himself into other devices with the help of cables in his surveillance room. He also somehow is able to change or upgrade his head, as shown, he has a photograph of himself with an older-style television head. If he's particularly angry, he and any devices he's linked to will involuntarily glitch), Bioluminescence (Vox generates blue light from his screen, most notably when he is in a dark room. His teeth noticeably shine brighter than the rest of his face, and his left eye outline and pupils can shine on their own when feeling sinister. His claws can also glow when he is using his electrical powers), Communication (He can receive calls from people, such as Velvette, with his screen head similar to calling on a phone. He can also transfer the call to another device by "grabbing" the call and flicking it to a different screen device), Video playing (Vox can play videos on his screen-face), Scrying (As shown in "The Radio Demon" comic, Vox is seemingly able to see through other screens, appearing to stare directly at Alastor while projecting into the TV display of a window-fronted store. This is shown in "Radio Killed the Video Star" to be done after he plugs his head into a monitoring device, which he may need to be able to scry), Hypnosis (In "Radio Killed the Video Star", it is shown that with his left eye, he uses hypnosis to keep his audience drawn into his program and keep their interest. He also uses this as a distraction so he can slip away to avoid any further discussion of a subject he doesn't wish to continue. The victim's eyes become red with black spirals. The victim has to be paying attention for this to work. He can use this even when he isn't physically present by being in a screen device. The devices his company sells share this ability), Self-duplication (Vox was shown to be able to make clones of himself in "Radio Killed the Video Star" during Stayed Gone. However, he has only displayed the ability on television, and it is unknown if he can do it physically), Acoustokinesis (He can manipulate the sound of his voice to sound more intimidating. He can also generate different sound effects such as echoing voices and the sound of a winning game machine), Strength (Vox is strong enough that he is easily able to tear through metal, and capable of holding demons bigger than himself, such as Valentino, with ease), Deal-making (While not shown on-screen, Vox can make deals with others in order to collect their souls just like other Overlords. Musical talent - Vox has shown to be a talented singer), Dancing (Vox can perform amazing dance routines, like handling complicated moves to even being able to hold Valentino, a taller Sinner, into a dip), Charisma and manipulation (The reason why Vox is a successful entrepreneur is that he can use his charm to manipulate others into buying his products even without his hypnosis powers, such as acting as he cares about his customers and making up products on the spot that are not even in production yet. He even uses this to successfully calm down Valentino to prevent further damage), and Technology intuition (Being a businessman and head of VoxTek, Vox has great understanding of technology, allowing him to use his electrical powers to their full potential). Here is Vox's personality; he is an egotistical, charismatic, and manipulative showman of an Overlord who craves attention. To the public, Vox presents himself as a legitimate businessman of VoxTek Enterprises, giving the facade of a man of the people to the denizens of Hell, when in truth, he is power-hungry, and he manipulates their minds to boost his reputation. He is highly intelligent and technology-savvy, and he is always keeping up with the latest trends and technology. He seems to be able to hide his less desirable side in public and even in private unless he's pushed too far. Despite his egocentric nature, Vox is loyal to the interests of his fellow Overlords, the Vees, and seeks to maintain their collective image of power. As the most level-headed member of the Vees, Vox often acts as the de facto leader. Claiming the Vees' brand to be "perfection", he is often frustrated or outright angered if someone can jeopardize it, such as when he reigns in his fellow Vee, Valentino, from attacking the Hazbin Hotel in response to Angel Dust living there. Another element that earns his ire is his rival, Alastor, whom he utterly despises and might be intimidated by as he sees Alastor as a threat to his plans. However, despite his immense hatred for Alastor, Vox doesn't let it override his more pragmatic side once he calms down. In "The Show Must Go On", he takes pleasure and joy out of seeing the staff of the Hazbin Hotel prepare to fight the angels, as he believes they stand no chance against them. This causes him to get verbally explicit and overly honest, as seen when he along with Valentino and Velvette watch the fight between Adam and Alastor at the Hazbin Hotel, commenting how the impending duel had given him an erection. He even shows this sadistic joy when he sees Alastor lose to Adam, saying that seeing Alastor suffer is better than sex, only to get angry when Alastor flees from the fight. Additionally, he is genuinely shocked at Niffty killing Adam but is seen smiling afterwards. Here are Vox's preferences (his likes and dislikes); he likes/loves attention, sharks, the latest technology and trends, video, the Vees' public image in good condition, seeing Alastor fail or die (however, Alastor the Radio Demon never died), power and authority, the idea of Angel quitting work for Valentino, sex, violence, and Niffty's homicidal behavior. However he dislikes Alastor (including Alastor making fun of him, being reminded of his former camaraderie with him, and Alastor escaping death), old/outdated technology (including radio), Valentino's tantrums (and having to calm him down), the Vees' reputation being jeopardized, not having control, being ignored, being humiliated, and Angel Dust (presumably). There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (including quotes from the reader) so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, 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).
