Twin Realities: The Wrath Ring Chronicles
0 Points
The rain pattered incessantly against my window, mirroring the erratic rhythm of my heartbeat. It was a night like any other, or so I thought. I had spent the past several hours binge-watching episodes of "Helluva Boss"—a guilty pleasure that had steadily become my favorite escape from the monotony of reality. Moxxie was the character who always made me laugh; his endearing clumsiness and the way Blitzo and Loona incessantly teased him made his character relatable and pitiable.
Peering at my screen, I chuckled as Moxxie tripped over the ritualistic book while entering the portal to the living world. Suddenly, the laugh caught in my throat as Moxxie seemed to twist around and glare directly at me. His yellow sclera seemed to pierce through the screen, locking with my gaze.
"Hey, you," a voice snaked its way through my ears, though it shouldn't have been possible. My screen rippled and bulged like water around his form.
I yelped, instinctively pushing my chair backward. "What the hell?"
Moxxie's eyes sharpened, assessing me with a condemning scrutiny. "Unreal, right? Laughing at my expense. I bet you think all those jokes at my expense are just hilarious, don’t you? Let’s see if you’re still laughing after this."
Before I could react, the animated imp's clawed hand shot out of the screen and grabbed me by the wrist. The world around me swirled into an incomprehensible blur as I was yanked through a stark, cold portal. Darkness enveloped me for what felt both like an eternity and an instant.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself strapped to a strange, garish contraption seated in the same animated universe I had been so fond of observing. Moxxie hovered beside me, a mixture of vindication and what seemed like a hint of regret across his features.
“Whatever did you do to me? Let me go!” I gasped, tugging futilely at the straps that bound me.
"It’s not about what I did to you," Moxxie replied, his voice filled with a grim resolution. "It’s about what you did to me. Turning me into a joke.” His fingers danced over the console, and vials of strange liquid began siphoning into the tubing that connected to my arm.
Panic set in as my skin tingled and itched, morphing from my human flesh into red, leathery skin punctuated with sharp white freckles. I watched in horror and morbid fascination as my hands reformed, losing a finger, narrowing into freakishly cartoonish representations.
“No! This can’t be happening!” I struggled, but Moxxie's words drilled into my mind, insidiously altering my reality.
“You are Moxxie,” he intoned. “You’ve always been Moxxie. We grew up together, didn’t we? Brothers.”
An overwhelming nausea roiled within me, and I felt my physical and mental self rippling as though static coursed through my very being. I felt myself shrinking, becoming lighter and more nimble. My vision sharpened, my field of view filled with the hauntingly familiar yet now vividly animated world of the Wrath Ring.
“N…no…I am not Mox—” My protests were cut off by the wave of confusion that crashed over me, memories that weren’t mine blurring with the ones I held dear.
“Relax, brother,” the original Moxxie spoke, but there was a warmth now, a sincerity. “You've got a headache—that’s all. Just let go of the false memories. Embrace what’s real.”
I shivered as my body’s frame finalized its transformation. My mind struggled, pushing back against the tide of Moxxie’s memories and identity, but he was right. The more I fought, the less sense reality made.
“You’ve been by my side all along. We’ve borne the same trials, the same joys,” Moxxie continued, his voice a siren call pulling me home.
My vision cleared after what felt like a split second eternity, and there he was—my twin, Moxxie. The straps of the machine unclasped themselves as if understanding its work was complete. I stumbled out, rubbing my temples as the headache began to subside, my memories solidifying.
"Thanks, Moxxie. Sorry, I just had a headache," I said, chuckling sheepishly. Moxxie quirked an eyebrow in concern but nodded, satisfied. “Yeah, no biggie. Come on, Millie’s waiting for us.”
We traversed back to the I.M.P office. It now felt so naturally engrained in me—both of us navigating the precarious corridors of Hell with ease.
"Hey, Moxxies!" Blitzo waved enthusiastically. "Double trouble back from another adventure?"
Millie burst forward, wrapping both of us in a fierce hug. "You two boys better not have been squabbling again," she warned playfully, pressing a kiss to each of our foreheads.
I grinned, feeling her warmth and love wash over me. Any semblance of my former life was now an ephemeral echo, lost in the recesses of my mind. Some intangible part of me still recognized this closeness, this bond we all shared.
“What can I say, Boss?” I bantered, gripping Millie with affectionate resolve.
From that moment on, I lived and breathed as Moxxie: the once-lonesome weapon specialist, now accompanied justifiably by his brother. Ilengthened by shared stories, shared loves, and shared identities, forever bound in the demon world of Helluva Boss.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a human reader 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, her breasts vanish as her female privates (vagina, ovaries, and uterus) invert itself and pushes out into male private parts (a penis and testicles); however, this is optional and only if the reader is 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 his clone), 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. He is often the most vocal and realistic of the employees of I.M.P (with Blitzo being the boss) 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, as seen in "Murder Family". 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 shitty dad or a mob family, saying "That's understandable" in an accent. When finding out Blitzo used to date Verosika Mayday, he asked if she had suffered blindness or brain damage, implying that a pop star such as her wouldn't usually date Blitzo unless they had some form of mental disability. When intoxicated (due to some human tourists shoving him into an alcohol barrel), he loses all common sense and becomes quite delusional, as shown when he asks Millie why she has "four heads", and high-fived her instead of grabbing her hand straightaway. He also is shown to become increasingly flirtatious with her when drunk. Here is Moxxie's abilities; Earthly fire immunity (As shown in the episode "Unhappy Campers", Moxxie is completely unharmed by the effects of human world fires), musical talent (Moxxie is a gifted singer and guitar player), bilingualism - (in addition to English, Moxxie is also fluent in a little Yiddish), acrobatics (Moxxie is nimble and agile in terms of fighting, as he swiftly dodged all the arrows shot at him while swinging away on a strand of rope to intervene in Keenie and Millie's fighting), songwriting (Moxxie is able to compose music, having written "Oh, Millie" in honor of his wife), weapon proficiency (Moxxie is proficient in the use of several weapons, most especially sniper rifles), disguise (just like Blitzo and Millie, Moxxie can utilize multiple earthly outfits to pass off as humans on Earth), cooking (Moxxie is shown to be good at cooking), climbing, swimming, and diving. Here is Moxxie's history; Moxxie was born in the Wrath Ring to Crimson and a unnamed female imp, but was raised and spent most of his life in the Greed Ring. Moxxie's relationship with his father and mother was bleak, with Crimson unhappy of Moxxie's lack of commitment to his criminal lifestyle, and his mother's attempts to steer him away from said lifestyle. It is hinted that Crimson ordered Moxxie's mother (Crimson's wife) to be murdered. Crimson continued to force Moxxie to accept his criminal obligations, such as forcing him to execute imps and participate in violent skirmishes. Moxxie was eventually elevated as a fully fledged member of his father's mafia. During his elevation to full member of the mafia, Moxxie met and immediately fell in love with Chazwick Thurman. The two dated for some time and were even involved in gang wars together, but their relationship ended when in a heist gone wrong Moxxie's leg was trapped and Chaz fled leaving Moxxie to be arrested. In prison, Moxxie met Blitzo and presumably helped him with his escape plan. At unknown points of time before the beginning of the series, Moxxie met and married Millie and joined I.M.P. 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 story would be that Moxxie is fed up with the reader (who was at first unaware of the animated characters being self-aware about real life) laughing and viewing Moxxie as a butt of a joke from various things, for example, being joked around by his boss (Blitzo) and being called "fat" by Loona (Blitzo's adopted daughter and a hellhound); to teach the reader a lesson (and by some supernatural means), Moxxie came to the real world from one episode of Helluva Boss and pulled/sent the reader into the world of Helluva Boss, having already strapped the reader into an invention that Moxxie discovered on an alleyway, and started turning the reader into his clone. The reader tries fighting off the transformation and tells himself that he is not Moxxie, but is unable to do so, and the original Moxxie corrects the reader that he (the reader) is Moxxie and have been together ever since they were born, and he helps the reader to remember his true self (as Moxxie's identical twin brother with a same name). Thus, the reader completely turned into Moxxie's identical twin brother, with the reader (now Moxxie's identical twin brother), after he got out of the invention (after the straps from the machine are removed automatically by themselves), having no memory of ever being a human and remembered/knowing having always been a hellborn demon (more specifically an imp) and his name always being Moxxie (just like the original Moxxie), as well as being fully unaware of the transformation that had happened a moment ago (he doesn't know what just happened a moment ago due to his mind being fuzzy at a moment, before the original Moxxie told him that he (the reader) was having a headache, which the reader (the new Moxxie) realizes that he (the reader) did actually had a headache and thus explaining why everything was fuzzy for a moment), and now remembers everything that the original Moxxie also remembers since they both did the same missions and other stuff together since they were both born from the same imp parents, and both Moxxies love each other in a brotherly way (showing true affection to each other), as well as both loving Millie with no competition from each other. The machine, without the other I.M.P members knowing, also gave Blitzo, Millie, and Loona memories of Moxxie having an identical twin brother of the same name, before the machine vanishes completely and forever, and the I.M.P employees all act and believe as if it was normal (which to them, it really is normal and it had always had been this way, they all know that Moxxie always had a twin brother with a same name, and Millie genuinely loves both Moxxies as her two husbands). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking.
