**Forged in Infernal Flame** - Life as Moxxie
2 Points
Darkness shrouded your vision, leaving you disconnected from reality. Slowly, consciousness returned, and with it came an uneasy feeling as though you were waking up from a bizarre, vivid dream. Your eyes fluttered open, greeted by dim red lighting. It wasn't your room, that much you knew. Panic started bubbling within you, yet it felt far away, not enough to make you sit bolt upright just yet.
"E-Excuse me, where is this?" you stammered, realizing that your voice didn't sound quite right—higher-pitched and uncertain. Your heart pounded as questions raced through your mind. Where were you? What had happened?
You swung your legs over the side of the bed, only to find that they didn't reach the floor like they used to. Glancing down, your eyes widened. Your feet weren't feet at all. They were red, cloven hooves.
"What the—?" Your gaze flitted upward, past the open floor-length mirror in the corner. The reflection sent chills racing down your spine. There, staring back at you, was not your familiar human visage but that of a small, red-skinned imp with white freckles on his cheeks. Your hand flew to your face instinctively, only to find a short reptilian snout and sharp teeth—a perfect replica of Moxxie from "Helluva Boss."
"No, no, no!" you muttered, trying desperately to cling to the remnants of your former self. "This can't be real. I'm not Moxxie, I'm—" But the memory of your human name escaped you, as fleeting as a wisp of smoke.
Your hands shot up to your temples, gripping your head as dizziness overwhelmed you. Flashes of memories—foreign yet familiar—began flooding in. You could see fragments of your human life being replaced with moments of combat training, aiming weapons with pinpoint accuracy, and feeling a warm, comforting closeness with a fierce imp with brown hair—Millie, your wife.
"No! I have to remember!" you cried, sinking to your knees. "I can't forget who I am!" Yet, the harder you fought, the more the images of your human past seemed to evaporate, replaced by the certainties of life in Imp City.
"It's just a dream," you murmured, hoping for a miracle. "I have to wake up." But with every passing second, it became more difficult to recall what "waking up" even meant.
The door creaked open, and in walked Millie. "You alright, sugar?" she asked, genuine concern evident in her voice. Her presence sparked a torrent of emotion you couldn’t ignore, pulling you deeper into the reality of being Moxxie.
"I... I think I had a strange dream," you said, the words feeling alien on your tongue but so very comforting at the same time.
"Oh, you worry too much." She laughed, giving you a reassuring hug that warmed your heart. For a fleeting moment, the battle within you ceased, your human past almost entirely obliterated as Millie’s touch enveloped you.
Reality settled into place. You were Moxxie, always had been. The idea of a 'human past' felt absurd, a nightmarish fantasy that barely left a trace in your mind. You were happy now, and above all, content.
"Come on, Mox," Millie coaxed, pulling you to your feet. "Today's gonna be a busy day at I.M.P! Blitz still has those targets we need to take care of."
"Right, right—of course." The words rolled off your tongue naturally, as if they always had, as if this world—the world of Helluva Boss—was the only reality that had ever existed for you.
"Look at you, always worrying," Millie teased, her loving gaze steady on you. "Sometimes, you just need to trust the process, sugar."
And without hesitation, falling into step beside Millie, you believed her. This was your life, your reality, and as far as you were concerned, it always had been.
**"Ready, love? Time to show 'em why we're the best in Hell."**
You nodded, eager and sure. **"Let's get to work."**

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the human reader completely turning into Moxxie (from the 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).
