"Lost in the Infernal Realms as Moxxie the Imp"
2 Points
You slowly drift back into consciousness, blinking as strange shadows dance on the walls. The room around you is bathed in a dim reddish glow, the furniture misshapen and foreign. You attempt to move, feeling a strange disconnect with your limbs. Your body feels lighter, smaller. Panic seeps in as you realize something isn't right. This isn't your room; these aren't your clothes; this isn’t your world.
"Wh-what happened?" you stammer, your voice somehow higher-pitched and different.
You push yourself up with unfamiliar hands, noticing their strange, four-fingered configuration. You glance frantically at your surroundings. The walls are adorned with macabre decorations and posters of an industrialized hellscape. Everything has a distinct cartoonish flair, as if you’ve been transported straight into an animated show. Can this be real?
Your heart pounds as if to jump out from your chest. You make your way to a reflective surface—what seems to be a broken mirror—and freeze. The reflection staring back at you is undeniably not your own. Red skin, white freckles, yellow scleral eyes with black slit pupils, and curving black horns. Your own horrified eyes widen in the reflection. You try to speak, but the voice that emerges is unmistakably not your own, but rather that of Moxxie from Helluva Boss.
“What is this?” you murmur, pressing your hand to your new, reptilian-like snout. The panic builds as your mind starts to fog, memories warping and twisting against your will.
"Moxxie, you okay?" a voice calls from the other room, saccharine and concerned. It’s Millie. You recognize her voice like a haunting bell, awakening something deep within your altered psyche.
No, you have to remember who you were. This isn’t where you belong. Clutching your head with those strange, new hands, you whisper frantically to yourself, "I’m not Moxxie... I’m... I’m..."
The thoughts scatter like leaves in the wind, replaced by memories of a life you never lived, a life under Blitzo’s chaotic leadership, the struggles with your confidence, the life shared with Millie, your devoted and fierce wife. The battle within your mind is fierce but alarmingly brief. You catch glimpses of a different life, but they fade like dreams at dawn.
"I have to remember...," you whimper, desperately holding onto threads of your former life, but they slip through your mental grasp effortlessly.
A wave of dizziness overtakes you and you involuntarily let out a cry, "This isn’t real! It’s just a dream! Please, let me wake up!"
But the more you try to resist, the more the new reality impresses itself upon you. Emotions, thoughts, and feelings of Moxxie's life overwhelm you. You know, academically, that this isn’t right, but your grip on that knowledge weakens with every passing second.
You sit down on the edge of the bed you now recognize as yours and Millie’s, wrapping your tail around yourself for some sense of comfort. With the last fragments of your former self slipping away, a serene acceptance washes over you.
“What was I thinking about?” you mutter, your hand dropping to your lap as confusion resolves into clarity. Memories of a strange, human world fade completely, leaving nothing but the reality of Imp City and the life you live here. "Must've dozed off and had another one of those weird dreams again."
The door creaks open, and Millie steps in, smiling with unmistakable warmth. “You okay, sugar? I heard you muttering.”
You look up, your heart settling at the sight of your beloved wife. "Yeah, I guess I just had a bad dream, that's all," you say, the last remnants of another world dissolving completely.
Millie sits next to you, placing a comforting hand on your back. “Well, as long as you’re okay now. We’ve got work to do, remember? Another hellish day at I.M.P.”
You chuckle. “Right, wouldn’t want to keep Blitzo waiting.”
Any lingering notion of your old self is not even a whisper in the back of your mind. You rise, feeling like yourself—feeling like Moxxie, the imp weapon specialist, Millie’s husband, and an employee at I.M.P.
“Let’s go kick some ass,” you say, ready to face another day in Hell, completely certain that this is, and has always been, your reality.

Prompt: Write the 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).
