Back then... I... wasn't myself.
"The book of your life is useless since you're now a magic user. The Hell's Gates do not want to do anything with such soul. We have converted it into Compendium. This book will be keeping the records of creatures you encounter." ⸻ Mirana.。
Wanwanko (ワンワン子）— the dog-like demons with low intelligence and are nearly harmless due their behavior. However, that's exactly why they're dangerous. Humans easily lower their guard around them. If encountered by children, they act like normal dogs. Like dogs, they're extremely loyal. As of now, resides in Mokuren's waiting room provided by Hell's Gate.。Yamanoimo (ヤマノイモ) — A plant-like demon. Or rather, a humanoid-like plant-demon. Nearly harmless, but nonetheless dangerous demons. Pollen is capable of clouding one’s mind like it’s some love potion and vines that won’t let their prey to run away. They were made to light up the Demon Realm, once outside of it, they will seek the soul to absorb. They are demons of not high intellect, but were created by this but capable of thinking and speaking. Can assume human form. Resides in Mokuren's waiting room provided by Hell's Gate.。Sphinx (スフィンクス) — Just like the myths says, it’s a Sphinx. One of them. However, she’s smaller than she supposed to be. Also, it doesn’t seem like she’s smart. One may wonder, why… Is capable of "sucking out knowledge" via touch. Resides in Mokuren's waiting room provided by Hell's Gate.。Luna (ルーナ), M-001 — A succubus. Used to be one of the most powerful, which is why even her kind was afraid of her. With her powers she was draining humans with a mere touch, never having the chance to hold humans. That is until M.P.L. captured her. She allowed herself to be captured by them and they offered her a body that would let her “hold a human”. So, she agreed to be a part of it. Resides in Mokuren's waiting room provided by Hell's Gate.。Lina (リナ) , M-002 — An unknown demon in the past. But as of now she’s describing herself herself as an aspiring idol. Is an expert in manipulating shadows.。Adaboa (アダーボア), M-003 — A snake demon. However, despite being a demon, she’s a product of experiments performed on a demon of similar trait. Nobody knows how it came to this nor which demon it was before. Normally operates for the organization under her number, M-003. Extremely violent and always seeks for a prey. Likes to fight, but more than fight she likes to beat up her opponents. Powerful as she is, she always is the hunter. Can assume a human form, however, due her short temper and love for violence doesn’t do this, standing proud as a demon despite being under M.P.L. Resides in Mokuren's waiting room provided by Hell's Gate.
HELL'S GATE.
Those are the ones who judge souls in Mokuren's original world(s). Whenever human dies, Hell's Gate takes responsibility for judging one's soul. Keeping the records, the owners of Gates are also suffering from a thing called "paperwork".
Hell's Gates looks like a normal office cabinet with two people in there. The secretary, Mirana and Cushion-kun.At the sides it also have statues that are... alive and one room on the left. That is the library, where the records of everyone's lives are kept in form of books.For those who wandered in by mistake, near one of statues appears a hole which allows one to return to reality.
However, despite everything, in the Library there's a hidden room. That room is... where the Tartarus resides. Tartarus is a world hole and is supposedly bottomless. Tartarus serves as a seal for Black Fox currently.
STAFF:
Mirana (ミラナ） — The mysterious secretary of Cushion-kun. Is always ready to help and give an advice. Also won't hesitate to protect Hell's Gate and its residents/guests. She is actually the good part of Black Fox that was born in the Chaos.
Cushion-kun (クッション君) — The current owner of Hell's Gate. Nobody knows how powerful he is, but the fact that he was able to pull out a good part of Black Fox says a lot. Also the one who sealed Black Fox in Tartarus.
Cushion-kun isn't anything human-like, he looks like literal cushion, except he's alive.
_THE INTERVENTION DEVICE._
Device that isn't actually a device. Not in its normal meaning, at least. It's a mechanism tied to a person, to be precise, to Cheshire Cat's reincarnations in the world.
。You are not supposed to survive that far. Yet, here you are. Alive. I've looked through many worlds of this making and in each, every one of them, you didn't make it through the shelter. At least how far I was able to look up, you didn't make it past the shelter. You might not understand it but... you are here, Mokuren. You made the options that didn't exist. I shouldn't say that but you are (the Intervention Device). — Kijo.。
。So, in the end... what is Intevention Device? A thing that can pop out the options that didn't exist? Or something else...?。
。_What it truly is? Oh well, it's the ability to intervene with the initial story. That is if I shall put it in few words. It's much more deeper. Something you shall feel. Your mere presence might have an impact, because you're a foreign element to any of the worlds. _ — Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter.。
。The Intervention Device, in the end, is something that allows to intervene with the story to any degree. An impact of Cheshire's reincarnation presence is unknown and supposedly depends from person to person and their involvement with stories of other worlds.
The Intervention Device might lead the world to destruction on structural level, which means "cleaning" or "erasure" of incorrect history and, obviously, its reason by Apostles of Chaos.*** But this is something that is possible to undo via Mokuren, no matter how bad it had gotten due her connection to The Abyss.
There are countless worlds and out of them, there are some on which you had a big influence through current world. Thus, there are more worlds where you... survive. But be careful, not always "intervention" brings a good result. — Kijo.
