"The Imposter's Reality" - Awakening as Moxxie
0 Points
A sudden, bone-chilling shiver courses through your entire body. Eyes snap open to an unfamiliar ceiling, the ethereal glow of the Helluva Boss world gently illuminating the room. Panic quickly sets in as you realize nothing is quite right—every sensation feels off, dreamlike, yet hyper-real.
"Where am I?" you mumble, barely recognizing the sound of your own voice. Groggily, you try to get out of bed, but a strange weight on your back and a disturbing lightness in your limbs stop you in your tracks. You glance down and see your hands—now four-fingered, covered in red skin, and starkly unfamiliar.
Fear grips at your chest, pressing it tighter and tighter.
"What's happening to me?" your voice trembles, higher-pitched, and soft-spoken. You scramble out of bed and catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror. The reflection isn’t your own. Instead, you see Moxxie—small, red-skinned, and impish. You bring your altered hands to your face, the reflection following each move precisely. The room starts to spin.
Images, not your own, invade your mind—an art style as vivid as your wildest dreams materializes around you, solidifying into reality. Familiar faces of imps and demons flit past, bringing a wave of nausea.
"No, no, this must be a dream," you cry, struggling to cling to your scattered thoughts, holding your head in your shaking hands. Memories pour in; not your own but Moxxie's. You see flashes of weapon blueprints, countless operations, tender moments with Millie, snippets of Blitzo’s reckless orders.
You clutch the sides of your head, trying to clear the fog, praying to remember who you really are, what you really are—not an imp, not in this world. But the flood is relentless, unwavering, wiping clean your past, etching a new present.
A knock at the door snaps you back into the eerie, tangible now. Your eyes dart towards it, heart pounding in your small chest as the door creaks open.
"Moxxie, you okay in there?" Millie's comforting yet perplexed voice calls from the threshold. You want to scream, to ask for help, to make sense of this surreal nightmare, but you can't.
Instead, as if controlled by marionette strings, you respond, "I'm fine, Millie… just… feeling a little off." Your own words shock you—articulated without conscious direction.
Millie steps closer, her eyes filled with concern, and gently strokes your cheek, her touch sending a calming warmth into your core.
"Maybe you just need a bit more rest," she says, her voice soothing like a gentle river. For a split second, clarity strikes, recognition dawning.
"No, no, I—" But something within you pushes—no, forces you down, fraying the last threads of your old self, as if shutting an iron door on a burning building.
In the next moment, the fight ebbs, your head feels clearer, years of memories settle, reshaping and molding your identity into something alien yet achingly familiar.
"Thank you, Millie," you say, meaning each word, feeling each syllable resonate with newfound clarity. The past struggle feels like a fleeting dream, lost amidst your life's events in Hell.
As Millie leaves, content with your response, you take a moment, surveying the room, finding nothing strange or out of place anymore. This is home. Everything feels…right.
"I was just dreaming," you mutter, smiling at the absurdity, shaking your head. Yet, the thought dissipates quickly, trivial, unneeded. You are Moxxie, imp of I.M.P., husband to Millie, and everything else is fogged in haze.
You pick up your coat, the familiar fabric and weight offering particular comfort. The day awaits, your roles, your responsibilities. Eagerly stepping forward, you leave the room—leave behind lingering thoughts of what was or could have been, embracing wholly who you are meant to be.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a human reader completely turning into Moxxie (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), clothes change, 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, 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 an imp with red skin and white freckles on his cheeks, and he is shorter than Blitzo since he 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 (located in Imp City), making the reader (now Moxxie) 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, 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, but to no avail, making him completely forget all about his human self and remembered everything about himself being Moxxie, happy to know that his human life and self was only a dream, and knowing that his life as Moxxie as well as always living in Hell being reality. 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).
