You groggily awaken to an unfamiliar ceiling, your head pounding and body feeling all wrong. You struggle to sit up, rubbing your oddly shaped head. Everything looks different, like a twisted cartoon. What in Hell is going on? You take in the room, the cozy yet bizarre hellish décor suggesting you’re not just anywhere.
Standing up to get your bearings, you notice the weight on your head and the way your vision seems ever so slightly off-center. A quick glance at a nearby full-length mirror stops you dead. White freckles dot your cheeks, curvy black-and-white striped horns prick through white pointy hair, and sharp teeth gleam back at you. What the hell?
"No, this isn't right. I'm not...Moxxie," you mutter, the voice unfamiliar yet somehow distinctly yours. But it isn't, is it? It can't be. You place a hand on your throat and feel the absence of an Adam's apple if you were a woman, or you just note the difference in timbre if you were a man before. "Why do I sound like this?" You blink, trying to remember your real name, your real voice, but the name "Moxxie" fits so snugly it's impossible to shake.
Your eyes scan yourself over. That slim, red body. The long, reptilian tail that swishes with a mind of its own. Each glance confirms an impish form you're beginning to hate less with each passing second. You know these fingers... or no, you don’t, but they know you, adjusting a bright red bow-tie out of habit. "Moxxie, huh?" you whisper, each word feeling more true.
"Wait, if I’m here... then where was I before?" You close your eyes, desperately trying to recall who you were before you became this three-foot-nine, red-skinned imp. Nothing. You hold your head with both hands, squeezing your eyes shut. "Think! Remember who you were!"
A dizzying wave washes over you. "This can't be real," you gasp, but your voice, Moxxie's voice, echoes back. Memories begin to warp, twisting into recollections of weapon expertise and the grating nuisance of Blitzo’s voice. "No, I was... I had another name..."
You sink to the floor, cross-legged, and grip your head tighter. If you once used to be human, a name would come. A life would fall into place. Yet, the longer you strain, the quicker those thoughts slip through your claws. "Stop calling me Moxxie!" you scream aloud. Yet, who else would you be?
"You’re not Moxxie, right?" you argue with your own distorted thoughts. But the reality fights back harder. "But you are Moxxie," another part of your mind soothes, dissonant yet integrating. Each passing moment shifts your personality further away from your strange, faded human life.
Finally, looking through the impish eyes laid upon you, clarity sharpens.
Why would you think you were ever anything else? This is your home—Hell. And Millie, your loving wife, would soon join you for the day’s endeavor. "It was just a dream," you assure yourself, comforted by the notion. "I was never human. That memory, it was an illusion. This is my reality."
Standing up, you take pride in the image reflected back. "I’m Moxxie." Your mind no longer conflicts; it aligns perfectly. You’re proud of your role at I.M.P., your love for Millie, your vast knowledge of weaponry. The dream of being a human fades into obscurity, replaced with moments you cherish—unique to being Moxxie.
The door creaks open, and Millie steps in. You smile without effort, and she beams back, love apparent in her eyes.
"What’s the matter, darlin’?" she asks cheerfully, noticing the odd way you stare into the mirror.
"Nothing, Millie," you reply, memories fusing and settling seamlessly. "I guess I just had a weird dream is all."
She giggles, wrapping her arms around you. "About what?"
"Oh, just something silly," you fix a stray hair atop her head, your tail instinctively curling around her waist. "But it doesn’t matter. I’m right where I belong."
As you leave your apartment with Millie, ready for another day at I.M.P., echoes of humanness dissipate completely. You leave behind that strange feeling, walking hand in hand with your loving wife, no longer questioning yourself.
Because now and forevermore, you are simply Moxxie. And that's all that matters.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of a human reader completely turning into Moxxie (a character, voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz, from an adults cartoon/animated series Helluva Boss), complete with art style shift (the reader now being in a cartoon world of the Helluva Boss series, and the reader now becoming a cartoon character with the same art style as the other Helluva Boss characters, rather than being a real life person), gender change (if the reader is a female, her breasts vanish as her throat gains an Adam's apple to give her a more masculine voice identical to Moxxie (as heard from the Helluva Boss series) and her female privates (vagina, ovaries, and uterus) from her crotch/nether region invert itself and pushes out into male private parts (a penis and testicles); however, this is optional and only if the reader is female), clothes change (the reader's clothes becoming Moxxie's outfit), age change, height regression (shrinking from an average 5.7 foot or 6 foot height to only 3.9 feet tall), reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Helluva Boss), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with Moxxie'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 person (he also no longer remember having ever been human, since Moxxie was never a human and had always been an imp even from birth), even forgetting that the transformation that just occurred seconds ago, and only remembered ever being a male imp and a husband to Millie, always being an imp named Moxxie). For Moxxie's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is a slim-bodied imp with red skin and white freckles on his cheeks, and he is shorter than Blitzo (who is 5.3 feet tall unlike most imps, who are normally smaller like Moxxie) since he (Moxxie) is 3.9 feet tall. Like all imps, he has a short reptilian-looking snout filled with white sharp teeth and without a nose, as well as having four fingered hands (instead of five as in humans), and he lacks any visible ears. His white pointy hair leads up to his curvy black and white striped horns. He also has yellow sclera with black slit pupils. Moxxie has a long red thin devil-like imp tail with a quadrilateral barb at the end, as well as lanky digitigrade legs ending in what appears to be cloven red hoofed feet, reminiscent of artiodactyls. Moxxie's usual outfit consists of a navy-black coat with red buttons and white cuffs, black toe-less pants a white shirt that has a black turtleneck, a large red bow-tie, and fingerless gloves. Moxxie is the I.M.P's weapon specialist; and as such, has a vast knowledge of weapons and often brings a variety of them along during jobs. For Moxxie's personality, he is often the most vocal and realistic of the employees (his boss is Blitzo) regarding the company as a whole despite its dysfunctional environment and is bullied consequently. He is also shown to be insured about himself since he’s not physically strong since Striker, Lin and Joe was giving him a hard time since they believe physical strength is what makes a person strong. Moreover, he is an imp who is easily annoyed and rather clumsy, as he trips over their ritualistic book on the way through the portal to the living world. Despite being a murder-for-hire imp, it seems Moxxie is queasy with unnecessary killing beyond their targets. He also is uncomfortable with the idea of killing targets who have families, and attempts to give people second chances. Moxxie is also shown to have a comical side, as when he talks about killing an entire family, he claims it might be alright if it was just a bad dad or a mob family, saying "That's understandable" in an accent. For Moxxie's preferences (likes and dislikes); he likes cooking, culinary arts, musical theater, classical music, opera, his mother's kindness, being put in charge of missions, and Blitzo's approval as his boss. However, Moxxie dislikes Blitzo prying into his personal life, theme parks, theme park mascots, killing the innocent, pop music, Stolas' wrath, his father's (Crimson) abuse, Loona calling him fat, being the butt of the joke, and Millie stealing his spotlight. The reader's transformation and the reality's change/shift all takes place before the story. The story starts when the reader, now Moxxie, wakes up in a bedroom in Moxxie's and Millie's home (in an apartment located somewhere in Imp City, in the Pride Ring of Hell), making the reader (now Moxxie) confused and scared on where was he and who the reader himself was. He saw himself no longer a human, but now a (3.9 foot tall) imp, named "Moxxie", who works for I.M.P. as a weapons specialist (seeing himself with Moxxie's anatomy (a height of 3.9 feet tall, white freckles on his cheeks, white pointy hair, a pair of curvy black-and-white striped horns, short reptilian snout, glowing yellow iris-less eyes with black slit pupils, a slim body, sharp four-fingered hands, a long devil-like imp tail, digitigrade legs with red cloven hoofed feet, etc), Moxxie's outfit, Moxxie's color, etc), also feeling a long devilish tail (which swishes and curls due to the reader's new muscle memory) where his human tailbone used to be; he even hears himself sounding exactly like Moxxie, which the reader now really is Moxxie. He also starts remembering himself as Moxxie and starts calling himself "Moxxie" (ever since he woke up) against his will, despite him once knowing that is not his name, but instead of calling himself with his former human name (and despite saying that he is not Moxxie), he continues calling himself "Moxxie" (the reader say he is not Moxxie and tries to say who he was before but he then calls himself "Moxxie" again and continues to do so), calling himself "Moxxie" against his will (which the name "Moxxie" had fully replaced his human name) and despite his attempts on remembering and referring himself to his former human name, he could not remember his human life, appearance, or name. During his confusion, his memories and personality all begins to warp and completely change, 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'll wake up back in real life back to normal as a human), and telling him to remember his human life (including his name), but to no avail (despite him wishing that this is just a dream and his hopes of remembering his human name, human voice, and human life) and he keeps calling himself "Moxxie" (he's confused on why he keeps remembering and calling himself "Moxxie" instead of his human name) despite his efforts on stopping calling himself that and despite his attempts on remembering and referring himself to his former human name (despite saying that he's not "Moxxie", he still keeps calling himself "Moxxie" instead of his human name, due to having completely forgotten his human name and the name "Moxxie" had fully replaced his human name (hence why he's calling himself "Moxxie" as if that's who he really is), with the reader not knowing on why he cannot remember his human name or life (not knowing on why he only knows himself as Moxxie), and he even can't remember what he used to look or sound like as a human), as his human memories fail and vanish (despite his best efforts and making him embrace his new, or rather true self as Moxxie), making him completely forget all about his human self and remembered everything about himself being Moxxie, he is happy to know that his human life and self was not real and was only a dream (Moxxie realizes that he was dreaming of being human this whole time, and he knows that he was never human since he has always been an imp), and knowing that his life as Moxxie is his true reality as well as knowing that he had always been a hellborn demon (more specifically, an imp), he knows that he always had a small and slim body (himself being 3.9 feet tall), cloven hoofed digitigrade legs, an imp tail, a pair of curvy horns, and an impish face; he knew that he has always lived in Hell, having always loved his also-imp wife Millie (and Millie also had always loved Moxxie, showing true affection towards each other) since he (Moxxie) is a husband to Millie, and he has always lived with Millie in their apartment. 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).
