They wear a red vest with coat-tails, a gray long-sleeve shirt with a high collar, and a light gray puff tie. Their surroundings are mundane compared to the grandeur they now know. With a mischievous glint in their red eyes, they plan to indulge in decadence and dark pursuits. Through the transformation, the

The buzzing of the city's nightlife echoes in your ears as you step cautiously down the deserted alleyway. The day had been tiresome, sapping most of your energy. All you wanted was to get home, sink into the comforting embrace of your bed, and escape into the world of dreams. But the moment you passed by an old, decrepit bookshop, a strange force compelled you to stop. Your curiosity got the better of you, and you entered its dusty interior.

Little did you know, the book you instinctively reached for had other plans for you. The air shimmered with an ethereal glow as the tome's cover opened, revealing ancient, intricate symbols that seared themselves into your mind. A searing pain shot through your body, contorting your form with agonizing intensity.

"Wh-what's happening to me?" Your voice trembles, cracking with pain and fear as your bones lengthen and your whole body shifts. You feel yourself gaining height, your clothes dissolving only to be replaced by a deep red vest with coat-tails over a gray long-sleeve shirt, high-collar, and a light gray puff tie. Long, dark gray pants materialize along with a pair of black shoes.

Your entire body pulsates, your memories splinter as something—or someone—takes their place. You try to hold onto who you are, but the weight of another existence smashes against your mind with relentless force.

"No, no! This can't be happening!" you yell, clutching your head as unfamiliar memories flood your brain. You see yourself in a grand mansion, corridors filled with decadent portraits and lavish furnishings, but they're not your memories. You feel your thoughts being pushed aside, replaced with extravagant desires and flamboyant mannerisms.

Your heart races as you see a vision of yourself—or rather, the being you are becoming—standing tall and regal, yet dramatically eccentric. Suddenly, everything snaps into place. You are no longer you.

"Ah, what a peculiar sensation," you say aloud, your voice now a lilting baritone, dripping with charisma and an undercurrent of unmistakable arrogance.

You look around, taking in the scenery with curiosity. The alleyway, the bookshop, they seem so mundane, so inconsequential compared to the wonders you know. Why concern yourself with such trivialities when there are far grander pursuits?

"This alley is far too dreary. I must get back to something more engaging," you murmur.

As you turn to leave, you're visibly taller, nearly 6.5 feet in height. The gray hair on your head sways slightly, and you reach up, adjusting the pair of red-lensed glasses sitting on your forehead.

Memories of Octavia, your beloved daughter, rush through your mind, adding warmth to your heart. Your sense of self solidifies; you know who you are now. You are Stolas, Prince of Hell. All else fades, like distant echoes of a long-forgotten dream.

Your thoughts drift to Blitzo, and a naughty grin spreads across your face. "Oh, how delightful it will be to see him again," you chuckle, a sparkle of mischief in your red eyes.

The intrusion of your former life has completely vanished. You don’t remember your old name, your old personality, or even the moment of transformation. Those pieces are gone, replaced seamlessly with new memories of decadence, dramatic passion, and a life filled with dark yet alluring pursuits.

"Tonight calls for a nice bottle of wine, perhaps a new book from my extensive library," you say to yourself. Your former life as an average human is now but a shadow—untraceable and unremarkable in the grand tapestry that is your true existence.

AI Prompts

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of the human reader instantly turning into a human version of Stolas (from an adults cartoon/animated series Helluva Boss), complete with gender change (if the reader is a female), instant clothes change, age change, height progression (increasing in height from an average 5.7-6 foot height to almost 6.5 feet tall), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with Stolas'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 that he had always been a man named Stolas, which is his real/true self). For Stolas's human appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is is much shorter than his goetia (owl-like demon) form, while still relatively rather tall compared to other humans. He only has one set of eyes (two eyes) instead of two sets of eyes (four eyes), which have white sclera with red irises, and a pair of pupils which he normally lacks in his regular form. He lacks any type of plumage so he instead has gray hair atop his head. His outfit (when he's a human) consists of a deep red vest with coat-tails reminiscent of his tail feathers, over a gray long-sleeve, high-collar shirt with a light gray puff tie. His pants are dark gray and he now has black shoes. During the episode "Seeing Stars" Stolas picks up a pair of red lensed glasses that he wears on his forehead, being reminiscent of his regular forms second set of eyes. Here is Stolas's personality; Stolas gives the immediate impression of someone regal and ostentatious, as would be expected for a royal of his station. He dresses in clothing befitting his role, and his mansion is decadent, containing many large, elaborately framed portraits of himself and his small family. Underneath these dignified trappings, however, Stolas is shown to be a flamboyant, dramatic, eccentric, and often giddy person. Someone who does not take his royal reputation as seriously as the people around him expect him to, and is prone to act quickly on his easily excitable emotions. He is also shown to be very intelligent, even as a child, due to being a bibliophile and having incredible knowledge of many things including the laws of Hell. Stolas can also often get caught up in pursuing his own present interests and fails to pay attention to the more pressing issues around him, including the feelings and needs of others. He has even dismissed their wishes under the belief that, as long as he was happy, everybody else was as well, even when he was told otherwise. He also has trouble expressing his emotions when facing bigger dilemmas such as having a hard time explaining to Octavia that his marriage was never good or standing up to Stella before his affair and having trouble talking to Blitzo about his true feelings toward him. Although, these tendencies can make him appear selfish and even airheaded to some people in his life, he isn't oblivious to correction or regret and this is something he makes an effort to improve on, specifically in regards to his beloved daughter, Octavia. Stolas is also shown to be very lonely, seemingly isolated and cloistered in his position. In the episode "The Circus", when he was a child, he told a young Blitzo that he never had anybody to share his books with, further supporting this notion. Although, he is married, it is clear that he and his wife are not on affectionate terms, and that their marriage is implied to have been somewhat cold for a long while. Stolas has, perhaps surprisingly, an equally romantic and explicit side, something he looks to indulge in with Blitzo, an imp, considered 'lower-class' among his peers, whom he is currently engaged in a complicated extramarital affair with. He is also very uncensored in discussing his many bedroom preferences, using highly explicit and flowery language, sometimes in front of others, and is interested in aspects of BDSM, such as bondage. Stolas is invested in Hell's soap operas as comfort shows, enjoys the process of getting ready for rendezvous, and swoons over idealized ideas of amorous romance. As with many demons, and the denizens of Hell in general, Stolas has a somewhat questionable moral compass and is implied to interfere with the affairs of humans for his own benefit. He can easily cross the boundary between Hell and the living world with his own personal grimoire, and seems to enjoy striking fear into humans. Despite this, he is also gentle and nurturing to those he cares for, showing open devotion to his daughter, concern towards Blitzo and his coworkers, as well as attentiveness to his large and lavish garden of carnivorous Hell-plants. 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).
