You blink, trying to shake off the hazy feeling that clouds your mind, your sight narrowing on the green flames flickering in the ornate fireplace before you. The extravagant lounge surrounding you is foreign yet somehow familiar. Decaying trophies—a collection of shark jaws, imp and succubus horns, hellhound collars—adorn the crimson-lined walls. You grip the arms of the magnificent chair, feeling a sharp instinctive possessiveness over it, like no one else dares to sit where you do.
Wait. Where are you? Who are you?
A creeping sense of fear gnaws at you, but it quickly mingles with a strange, unbidden spark of anger. You can't quite place this fury yet, but it's there, simmering under the surface. Your fingers—short-clawed, not human—clench the chair tighter as you rise to study yourself in the mirror on the wall. Your eyes, huge, yellow, and slit-pupilled, stare back at you. Your skin, a dark, blood-red. Every feature screams an alien identity, one that is not yours.
"Crimson..." You murmur, startled by the deep, rasping voice echoing from your lips. "No, that's... that's not my name!" You try to recall your human name, but it escapes you, eluding your grasp like smoke.
A rush of crimson-red memories bombards your mind. Through a fractured lens, you see Moxxie, a young imp. Your mind insists that he is your son, but the emotions tied to these scenes are foreign—dominance, ruthlessness, a bitter distaste for his compassion. You feel panic flare up, only to be smothered by a darker, colder resolve. As hard as you strain to remember your human life, it feels like trying to grip water: useless.
"No! I am not Crimson!" you shout, but the words ring hollow, even to your own ears. You feel yourself recoil from who you once were—weak, insignificant; those memories are a smokescreen, a mere dream.
You stagger, holding your head, fighting against an assault of thoughts that aren't yours. A menacing laugh bubbles up from your throat. "Moxxie... that ungrateful piece of..." you growl, the anger feeling more natural, more you. You don't even recall why Moxxie makes you this infuriated, just that he does.
It's maddening; you recall ordering his mother's murder, thinking it necessary—a terrifying thought you now own completely. Your thoughts twist, distorting your human memories and shredding your emotions. Why were you ever worried? You've never been human. Your life, your existence, has always been this.
Your eye catches a reflection again. Red skin, sharp teeth, a gold fang gleaming under the light, a black fedora perched on striped horns. This isn’t a nightmare; it’s a realization. You are Crimson, always have been.
"Fool," you growl at your reflection, chuckling darkly. "It was just a dream. Weak, useless." A snarl shapes your lips as you remember your human self—a pathetic, soft creature not worth the spit off your boots.
A thought sharpens into clarity, erasing any lingering doubts: You control this mansion, this empire in the Greed Ring of Hell. You are powerful, feared; you are Crimson.
The doors to the lounge creak open. Alessio, your loyal shark-like bodyguard, strides in, looking cautious. "Boss, everything alright?" His tone is careful, respectful.
You smirk, relishing the power that title brings, "Of course, Alessio. Just... Reminiscing." You leave the chair and pace to the desk, lifting a cigar and lighting it with the green fire.
"Hmph. Moxxie made any moves since his little escapade?"
"Nothing significant, Boss. We're keeping an eye on him."
You nod, exhaling a plume of smoke. "Good. We can’t afford another mishap like that." A twinge of anger cuts through your logic at the thought of your son's betrayal—but the anger is constructive, focused.
Every sense of fear, every trace of a human past, decays into ashes, scattered by an unyielding reality. Your memories, your being, have solidified. You are Crimson, the crime boss of Hell’s Greed Ring, and this universe is now your dominion.
A cruel smile spreads across your face. "Moxxie better watch his step. He won’t get a second chance."
You lean back in your chair, puffing your cigar, plotting. There's a world primed for your sway, and you, Crimson, are ready to claim it.
Your human past is a shadow beneath your boots—forgotten, meaningless. The future ahead is all yours—vicious, ruthless, exactly as it should be.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the human reader turning into Crimson (a character, voiced by Richard Horvitz (just like his son Moxxie), from an adults cartoon/2D animated series "Helluva Boss", made by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano), complete with gender change (if the reader is a female), instant clothes change (the reader's human clothes instantly turning into Crimson's outfit), age change, height regression (changing from the reader's previous 5.7-6 foot height to 5.3 feet tall), reality/world change (the reader's real world warping and turning into the world of Helluva Boss), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with Crimson's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts on fighting these mental changes, making the reader permanently and completely forgets all about his past self as a normal human (even forgetting how he looked as a human and how his voice sounded as a human), he now only remembers being an imp and a mafia leader named Crimson, and he always had been since that is his true self and his true life). The transformation into Crimson is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. For Crimson's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is a quite tall imp demon, standing closer in height to Blitzo (about 5.3 feet tall, rather than being 3.9 feet tall, unlike his son Moxxie (who's an adult at 3.9 feet tall)), with literal red skin, white hair, a pair of curvy black-and-white striped horns, black eyelids, and yellow sclera with black slit-pupils and without irises. Around his eyes are white markings, with the right being larger than the left. He possesses a crooked and bent devil-like tail with white accents near the base and on the middle of his tail fork (which is on the tip of his tail). His appearance is similar to his son Moxxie, with similar hair and shape of his horns, however larger and slightly more jagged. Unlike his son (Moxxie), Crimson's skin is a darker shade of red and his legs appear to be plantigrade (just like a human's legs, including the human reader's legs), rather than digitigrade as in other imps, but he still has red cloven hooves on his feet (unlike the human reader's feet). He also has four short-clawed fingers on his hands (not five human fingers, unlike the human reader). Like all imps, he has a short reptilian-looking muzzle with sharp teeth in it, and he lacks any visible ears or nostrils. All of Crimson's teeth are sharp fangs, while one of his fangs is a golden fang unlike the other teeth (which are white). Crimson's attire consists of a red high-collar shirt that grips his neck, topped by a navy blue coat with light blue accents, thin red stripes, red buttons, and red lining. His pants are dark blue which also have thin red stripes, and his shoes are black and red-heeled dress shoes (which completely encases his cloven hoofed feet). He also wears a black fedora with a red and white band. For Crimson's personality, he is a vicious and extremely ruthless crime boss (the head of the major mafia organization) that controls a large army of shark-like demon gangsters (including Alessio, who is his bodyguard). He is shown to have been horrifically abusive towards Moxxie since his childhood, constantly levying physical and psychological abuse towards Moxxie, and by extension his wife. He cultivates an aura of fear in those that know him, even towards his own family members and close associates like Moxxie and Chazwick. Ultimately, his greed and power come first to him, and he harbors no remorse for his victims. This comes to the point that he appears mentally prepared to kill blood-related family members, such as his wife and Moxxie, to advance his personal goals. Despite this, he is capable of exhibiting a seemingly jovial, warm, happy, and even charismatic presence when he chooses to do so, such as during his initial meeting with Blitzo and Millie, or during moments when he feels comfortable. However, he can be quick to discard this external display of affection as required. Crimson is extremely prejudiced, having demonstrated to be chauvinistic and sexist towards women, as well as homophobic of his son's orientation. He would often refer to Millie as being a "dame", "broad", "beard", and other similarly negative terminologies. He displays a lack of knowledge regarding concepts of sexuality, believing Moxxie's statement of being bisexual to simply mean he is homosexual, with Crimson disregarding his son's bisexuality and claiming he is simply gay and hiding that by marrying a woman, as claimed by his declaration of Millie being merely a "beard" for Moxxie. He furthermore holds bizarre beliefs as to what kind of home décor and wedding decorations/dresses homosexuals enjoy, such as decorating his home with a wide array of dildos in an attempt to placate Moxxie and forcing his son to wear a dress while forcibly attempting to marry him off. Here are Crimson's preferences (likes and dislikes); he likes smoking, monetary gain, organized crime, mistreating Moxxie, and hanging body parts of his victims as house decorations. However, he dislikes Moxxie's compassion and bisexuality, sentimental topics, his son or minions failing him, the state of his mafia, anyone who double-crosses him, anyone lesser than him, and anyone talking back to him. Here is Crimson's history (according to the Helluva Boss series); Crimson, through either inheriting or by creation, became the head of a major mafia organization in Hell (more specifically, in the Greed Ring'), with his residence being his own mansion (which is green of various dark shades, with red on doors and furniture (including but not limited to couches), which is located in Notamafia Town (a town that is heavily inhabited by mafia members and crooks alike) in the Greed Ring of Hell, and his mansion has a helicopter bay, a lounge room, a dining room, the guest rooms, a carpark, and (at the rear of his mansion) a courtyard. While having a green sky, Notamafia Town's sign is shown to be covered in green ooze, as well as some of the boats on the water of the area. All the buildings of Notamafia Town are shown to have a green color scheme, having some land of grass, plants, and shrubs. The skies of Notamafia Town are covered in dark green smog due to the many factories and smoke that comes out of some of the chimneys of some houses. "Notamafia" is a portmanteau word of "Not a mafia". At some point in the past he married a woman from the Wrath Ring, and sired Moxxie, his only known child. Crimson's relationship with his wife and Moxxie was bleak, with Crimson unhappy with Moxxie's lack of commitment to his criminal lifestyle, and his wife's attempts to steer Moxxie away from said lifestyle. It is hinted that Crimson ordered Moxxie's mother to be murdered (by drowning Moxxie's mother in a lake). Crimson continued to force Moxxie to accept his criminal obligations, such as forcing him to execute demons and participate in violent skirmishes. He eventually elevated Moxxie as a fully fledged member of his mafia, prior to Moxxie's arrest. Some time before the episode "Exes and Oohs" Crimson, due to his mafia facing financial troubles, is tricked into believing that Chazwick Thurman is rich and wishes for him to join the family. In the episode "Exes and Oohs", Crimson calls Blitzo and requests over the phone to meet in person, sending a helicopter to retrieve them. When I.M.P arrive at his mansion he welcomes them inside and they sit in the lounge room to wait for dinner. During dinner he explains why Moxxie and Chaz are at his mansion but he keeps some details secret. After dinner, when Alessio takes the others to their rooms, Crimson forces Moxxie to stay, he then physically assaults Moxxie and explains to him that he will be wedded to Chaz in order to gain access to his funds. The next day when Moxxie attempts to stand up to his father, Crimson silently signals to Alessio to taze Moxxie, then after his son falls unconscious, Crimson orders Alessio to take care of Millie and Blitzo. Crimson holds a tied up and gagged Moxxie and forces him into the marriage until Millie crashes the wedding to rescue Moxxie. Crimson sends many goons to stop Millie, but when they are all killed he allows Millie to take Moxxie. As Blitzo is taken away, he exposes Chaz for his deception and lack of any money, infuriating Crimson. Later, Chaz is killed by Crimson, and Chaz's teeth and jaw are mounted on the wall by Crimson in his mansion. Then, he expresses his anger of Moxxie's betrayal by throwing a dagger into a portrait of Moxxie. In the episode "Oops", Crimson interviews Striker (a hitman who is an imp hybrid with another demon species, possibly a hybrid with a humanoid shark-like demon) for a job in a nearby building, telling him he needs to prove himself worthy by bringing something of value in order to join his mafia. Crimson is surprised and immediately hires him after Striker grabs both Blitzo and Fizzarolli from their nearby squabbling. Inside of Asmodeus's Tower, Crimson greets both Asmodeus and Stolas with a pre-recording from Fizzarolli's cellphone. He explains he and his mafia has captured Fizzarolli, and calls Asmodeus the weakest and most non threatening of the sins, and informs them his lawyers will be arriving with a contract, and that they have until the witching hour to sign it. Crimson then yells at a member of his mafia to cut the recording. Later, Crimson tells at Striker to watch them and not fuck them. Crimson returns to the commotion and sees Blitzo and Fizzarolli has escaped and orders his gang to chase them. After them being chased, Crimson tells Striker to prove himself, until Fizzarolli starts singing a song, which Crimson witnesses and becomes confused after Fizzarolli starts losing more things to sing about. Crimson is last seen in this episode before the building collapses on top of him and his mafia. The reader's physical transformation and the reality's change/shift all takes place before the story, so he is now Crimson in body and now in the world of the Helluva Boss series, more specifically in Crimson's Mansion (located in the Greed Ring of Hell). The story starts when the reader, now Crimson (if the reader was female before the transformation, the reader is now a male), wakes up in a lounge room sitting in a magnificent arm chair (which only Crimson is allowed to sit on, since he owns the mansion and leads his mafia group), located near the fireplace (which has green flames instead of regular flames, due to the entire place being located in the Greed Ring of Hell) and the lounge room has shark jaws, imp horns, succubus horns and wings, and hellhound collars (which all hang throughout the lounge room's walls and the dining room's walls). Waking up at Crimson's mansion, he founds that he is now Crimson, complete with Crimson's outfit/clothes, voice, and anatomy (black-and-white striped horns, devil-like tail, hoofed plantigrade feet (which are encased inside a pair of black and red-heeled dress shoes as part of Crimson's outfit/clothes), a short reptilian snout with sharp teeth and without a nose, and a pair of large yellow irisless eyes with black slit pupils), rather than waking up as a human. He is confused and scared on where was he and who the reader himself was. During his confusion, his memories and personality all begins to warp and completely change against his will (he keeps thinking of himself as Crimson and calling himself Crimson, despite not meaning to think of himself that or to call himself that (by now he only thinks and calls himself "Crimson" despite thinking or saying that he's not Crimson, but now thinks and says otherwise) when he tries to think of himself and calling himself as his human self instead of Crimson, but continues to think of himself as Crimson and calling himself as Crimson despite his best efforts, in fact he only remembers his name being Crimson instead of his human name (he doesn't know why he keeps calling himself Crimson); for example he accidentally calls himself Crimson, which he said that is not his name, and tries to say his human name but calls himself Crimson, making him realize that he had completely forgotten his human name and only remember his name as Crimson), making him dizzy as he hold his head with his arms, hoping that everything that is happening was all just a dream (hoping that he will wake up back in real life back and back to normal as a human), and telling himself to remember his human name, human self, human appearance, and human life, but to no avail, much to his horror (despite his will, he completely forget his human name, human self, human appearance, and human life, which makes him confused/question on what did he look like, what did he sound like, and what was his name), making him completely forget all about his human self (his personality also completely changes) and remembered everything about himself being Crimson (he realizes that's who he really is and his name truly is Crimson (he was right/correct when he called himself that), as he called himself during his earlier panic), not knowing on why he was scared a moment ago (Crimson was never so scared) and he also does not know on why he thought that he was not Crimson seconds ago (all of Crimson's memories and personality are his true memories and personality, and they are his right/correct memories and personality). He is happy/glad to know that his human life and his human self (all on Earth) was only a dream and not real (Crimson angrily views his human self as pathetic and weak, which irritates him since he knows that he was never human to begin with, and he is truly glad that he is not a human and never was a human, he even mutters that his human self was just a dream and not real), even chuckling darkly about that. However, thoughts of his son Moxxie makes him angry due to Moxxie betraying him. He also knows that his life as Crimson (as well as having always lived in Hell since he is an imp (a hellborn demon)) being his true and only reality. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story 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).
Response: You blink, trying to shake off the hazy feeling that clouds your mind, your sight narrowing on the green flames flickering in the ornate fireplace before you.
