### Shadows of the Past
Alastor stood in front of the grand mirror in the foyer of the hotel, eyes gleaming with amused curiosity and an ever-present, wide grin spread across his face. His pointed-toe boots. He shifted his gaze back to the mirror, admiring his demonic visage as he did every evening. Time in Hell had a peculiar way of blending, making moments indistinct. But tonight felt different. Unsettling in an unnameable way.
“Ah, the picture perfect image of a dapper demon!” he exclaimed, adjusting his monocle and tapping his cane on the floor. “What a delightful sight I am.”
His eyes caught an abnormal flicker in the mirror. It was brief, almost as if reality had rippled. He furrowed his brow—a rare crack in his playful demeanor.
“What trickery is this?” Alastor muttered, stepping closer to the glass. He raised his cane and poked the mirror, expecting nothing more than a solid, reflective surface.
To his shock, the mirror seemed to ripple like water, distorting his reflection. Before he could pull back, something gripped him, yanking him forward with an irresistible force. A profound sense of being stretched, of his very essence being warped, overtook him, and then—
Darkness.
### ****
You wake up with a jolt, gasping for breath. A strange sensation, like an electric shock, tingles through your entire body. The room spins as you try to grasp where you are, who you are. You glance around the room and immediately recognize it as your own. Your body feels strange, unfamiliar. There’s a sudden weight on your chest, and you glance down to see—you have breasts. You touch your face, feeling softer skin, no antlers or sharp teeth, just... you.
“What... what happened to me?” you say, your voice trembling.
You stumble to the bathroom, your reflection comes into view. The face staring back at you is undeniably yours, but the memories that flit through your mind conflict with your present appearance. You remember the hotel... Hell... being Alastor—but it all starts to blur, transforming into memories of a mundane life, of being a normal human.
The headache throbs again, making you wince. It feels like two worlds smashing against each other.
“No, I was—" you start, but the words die on your lips. It doesn’t make sense. You were never a demon. You’ve always been just... you.
You try to shake the irrational thoughts from your mind. Maybe it was just a bizarre daydream or a sign you need more sleep. Yeah, that’s it. You glance back at your reflection and force a smile.
“It was just a headache,” you mutter, “Just a weird dream. I need to snap out of it.”
But as the minutes pass, the unsettling memories of Alastor fade, replaced with the totality of your human experiences. You casually inspect your wardrobe, now filled with your usual clothes, no hint of Alastor’s dapper attire. You pull on a comfortable shirt and jeans, ignoring the phantom sensation of a bowtie.
The day goes on, routine and ordinary. Yet, an inexplicable tension lingers, a whisper in the back of your mind of a grander, darker past that you’ll never quite recall.
As you go about your day, you can’t help but feel watched. You shake off the thought, dismissing it as paranoia. After all, you’re just an average person, living a simple, averagely life. There’s no room for demons, no room for Hell in your life.

This story was generated by user TyTyTyTyTi with assistance by one of OpenAI’s large-scale language-generation model; prompts used to help generate the story are shown below.
Images were generated with OpenAI's AI system, DALL·E 2, or uploaded by the user.
Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of Alastor (from the adults cartoon/animated series Hazbin Hotel series) turning into the normal human reader (from real life), complete with gender change (if the human reader that Alastor is transforming into is a female, his body becomes more curvy and feminine with his chest growing breasts, his butt and hips growing, his Adam's apple in his throat vanishing to give him a feminine voice, and his masculine penis and testicles invert themselves before being sucked into his body to turn into a vagina, ovaries, and uterus; however, the gender change is optional if the female is a reader), weight gain (if the reader is overweight), instant clothes change (Alastor's clothes instantly becoming the reader's human clothes), voice change, age change, height regression (becoming average-sized rather than seven feet tall), and mind/mental change (with Alastor's personalities and memories being completely replaced with the reader's personality and memories, despite his best efforts on fighting them off, making him completely forget about being Alastor the Radio Demon, making him/her believe that it was just a mild headache or daydream (he/she was returning/turning back to normal after wrongly believing himself/herself to be a animated demon character), and the human reader only remembers being an average mortal human and that he/she has always been a normal human). For Alastor's appearance, he is a slim, dapper sinner demon with beige-colored skin, and usually has a broad smile full of sharp, yellow teeth. He is approximately 7 feet tall. He sports a pinkish-red cropped, angled bob-cut with black tips at the ends and two large, black tipped tufts of hair extending from the top of his head, evoking the ears of a deer. The style has an undercut at the back, and two small black antlers protruding from the crown, which can grow in size in his full demonic form. Alastor's eyes have dark-red sclerae, bright-red irises and thin black pupils (which can change into the shape of radio dials when shifting into his full demon form). His forearms and lower legs fade to dark grey, and he has red hoofed toes and red fingers. Alastor wears a red pinstripe coat with dark-red lapels piped with white, which is ragged along the bottom hem. Underneath this he wears a bright red dress-shirt with a black cross on the chest, and long black dress pants with matching bright red cuffs. He also wears a dark-red oval-shaped monocle, rimmed with black, over his right eye. He accessorizes with a black knotted bowtie with a bright red center, black gloves with red at the fingertips, and black pointed-toe boots with red deer hoofprints emblazoned on the soles. Alastor also carries a thin cane with a sentient vintage style microphone attached to it, which he uses to play sound effects and broadcast his voice. Alastor stands out from many of the more chaotic residents of hell for his well maintained amiable persona. He gives the first-impression of a good-natured and charming man, wearing a permanently wide grin on his face at all times. Alastor's behavior, mannerisms, and even his voice are similar to an old-fashioned radio announcer and speaks with a transatlantic accent, often using quaint anachronisms such as "the picture show" and refers to Charlie as a "charming demon belle". This playful dandyish exterior, however, obscures a much darker side to him - one with high levels of self-importance - and he will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his very particular values or expectations. For the reader's appearance (after Alastor turned into him/her), it depends on who that reader is and what he/she looks like, if he/she is skinny/lean/muscular/fat, what clothes he/she wears, how big or small he/she is, what gender that reader is, how old or young that reader is, and how he/she sounds like. The personality and memories also depends on the reader. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, after Alastor got turned into a human reader, the story becomes 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).
