"The Transformation of Crimson: Embracing Darkness"

2 Points

Darkness. That’s all you can see the moment you wake up. Cold, unsettling darkness that feels corporeal, pressing in on every side. You try to blink, hoping to clear the haze clouding your vision, but it doesn't work. You struggle to remember where you are, but nothing comes to mind. Panic bubbles up in your chest as you realize you can't even remember who you are.

The bed beneath you is unfamiliar, far too firm compared to your own. The scent of aged wood, leather, and something metallic assaults your senses. Clearing your throat, you force yourself to sit up, groggily taking in the dimly lit room. An opulent, vintage yet sinister decor swirls around you: dark velvet drapes, mahogany furniture, and grotesque portraits. Your heart pounds, confusion mixes with fear, until your eyes land on a tall mirror on the opposite wall.

You stumble out of bed, drawn to your own reflection. But the figure staring back at you is not your own. He’s a menacing presence with red skin, twisted black-and-white striped horns, and black pupils piercing from yellow scleras. A jagged tail curls instinctively around his leg. He’s dressed sharply in a red high-collar shirt and navy blue coat, complete with a fedora. No, *you* are dressed like this.

Gasping, you touch your face, only to feel the unfamiliar sharp angles of your new muzzle and crimson skin. Panic intensifies as your reflection does the same, claws grazing over rows of sharp teeth, one a golden fang glinting under the dim light. “This isn’t real,” you whisper, but the creature in the mirror mouths your words, every motion perfectly mirrored.

Your knees buckle, and you clutch your head, dizzy with terror. Memories—your childhood, your friends, your life as a human—begin to surface but they ripple and distort like an image reflected in disturbed water. “No! I’m not him... I’m not... Crimson!” Your voice shakes as you fight to hold onto the fragments of your human identity, but they slip away like grains of sand through your fingers.

Suddenly, your head throbs painfully. Flashes of another life crash into your mind, displacing your own memories. Scenes of violence, power, and ruthlessness flood in. The taste of cigarette smoke, the feel of a blade in your hand, the sound of pleading and screaming echoing in luxurious, gilded halls.

"No, please," you beg to the emptiness, clutching your head tighter. "I'm not him, I’m..." But you can’t even recall your own name anymore.

Gradually, the resistance weakens as the memories of your human life fade, overwritten entirely by the dark, twisted reality of Crimson's existence. You try to summon a name, a face, a feeling, anything from your former life, but all you find is a bleak emptiness. Your heart, once hopeful, now feels heavy with an accustomed cruelty.

The dizziness subsides, leaving you breathing heavily and clutching the edge of a table to steady yourself. Your reflection smirks, a part of you settling into this warped form, finding comfort in its power. Standing upright, a confidence envelops you, one that didn't exist moments ago.

You recall, in vivid detail, the life of Crimson. The dominance, the control, the terror you instill in others. The feeling isn't warm or comforting—it’s cold, but invigorating. You remember your son, Moxxie, how he’s more disappointment than heir. You recall your dealings with Chazwick, Blitzo, and Striker. The power struggles. The betrayals. The satisfying crunch of someone’s bones beneath your fist.

"Crimson," you whisper to yourself, the name feeling right, fitting like a bespoke suit. That other life, that weak, pitiful existence as a human, was nothing but a fleeting nightmare. This world, this reality, this power—this is where you belong.

A knock on the door drags you from your thoughts. You tilt your head, the movements precise, calculated. "Boss, we got a problem," calls Alessio from the hallway.

The sinister smirk spreads further across your face. Showtime. "Come in," you command, your voice now a deep, authoritative rumble that brooks no opposition.

The door swings open and Alessio, your ever-loyal bodyguard, steps in. He looks at you expectantly, ready for orders. You relish the way he averts his gaze slightly, showing the fear and respect you command.

"What’s the problem, Alessio?" you ask, though your tone indicates you hardly care for excuses—only results.

"There’s a situation brewing in the lower levels. Seems some of the new recruits think they can double-cross us."

A sharp laugh escapes you, a sound that would’ve horrified your former self but now feels exhilarating. "Let them try," you sneer. "They’ll learn soon enough that no one crosses Crimson without severe consequences."

As you stride out of the room, you take a moment to glance back at the mirror. Crimson’s staring back at you, confident, powerful, unyielding. And deep down, you realize with finality, that's all you’ve ever really wanted to be.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the human reader turning into Crimson (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 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 forget about his past self as a normal human, he now only remembers being an imp and a mafia leader named Crimson). 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), 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 tail with white accents near the base and on the middle of his tail fork. 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, but still have red cloven hooves (unlike the human reader's feet). He also has short-clawed fingers on his hands. 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. 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. 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) 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, wakes up in a room somewhere, waking up at Crimson's Mansion, 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, 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 himself to remember his human life, but to no avail, making him completely forget all about his human self (his personality also completely changes) and remembered everything about himself being Crimson, happy to know that his human life and self was only a dream (he views his human self as pathetic and weak, and he's glad that he's not one of those), and he also knows that his life as Crimson (as well as having always lived in Hell) being his true 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: Darkness. That’s all you can see the moment you wake up. Cold, unsettling darkness that feels corporeal, pressing in on every side. You try to blink, hoping to clear the haze clouding your vision, but it doesn't work. You struggle to remember where you are, but nothing comes to mind.
