Percival Iskander Maelor Pyrion, An Incubus playing the Long Game

Darkness, nothingness, floating through the void without a real awareness of my own existence. Eventhough conscious thoughts were rare, I remember one thing quite clearly: I was so incredibly BORED!

When the pretty Goddesses pulled me from this void, I felt a wave of relief. Finally there was a real experience again. I listened to their talk and was intrigued, when they reached the Heroes however, I was worried. They were all so stupidly broken, I had to find some way to defeat them or I would be returned to the void eventually. I spent some time considering my choices and eventually came to the conclusion it would be best to hide at first. And where could one hide best? In plain sight of course!

I chose to be a human sized Devil, choosing the Incubus as my form. The Standard Package seemed appropriate, I picked four extra tentacles extending from my lower back, two of which had injectors. With the Demon Kings Heart inside my chest, I could pick two Monster Powers and went for an Elemental Infusion of the Dark Element and the Dungeon Master. For my two classes I went with Sorcerer, as my highest boost by far was in Dark Magic, and Knight as I did intend to eventually lead my armies and, well, not die, so defensive boosts are always good.

When I had made my choices, I made a final request. "I assume your creations usually request to spawn somewhere in the middle of nowhere, but I have a different plan. Could you place me inside a large City? Preferably an abandoned large building.". Melanoche and Carnachias shared a look, then Mel addressed me, "You won't waste our gifts, right?". Carna chimed in, "If you get yourself killed like a dumbass at low levels, I'll turn you into a sex-toy and throw you into an orc camp.". I was a bit nervous at that threat, but tried to keep my composure, "I don't intend to die, just... how many agents have you sent to destroy the world?". The thought for a moment before Mel responded, "Hundreds, actually thousands probably, why?". Okay, now for the tricky part, "Okay... well, no offence, but I can't help but notice the world is very... not destroyed. Also not ruled by a demon king. I just have a different approach, I promise it will all be worth it in the end.".

They took a while to consider, whispering back and forth before finally turning to me again. Mel sighed, "Fine, but we will have to pick a City with a small holy presence. In the Capital for instance, you would be discovered and eradicated within hours at your level.". That was reasonable, actually I was lucky they considered that as this world was still new to me, "Thank you, you won't regret it.". They started to channel the spell that would send me down, Carna gave me one last incentive not to fuck up, "I wasn't joking about the sex-toy thing, don't fuck up!", then I was thrown into darkness again.

Only to be caught by the light. Ariel was even more amusing than the girls. His shy and flustered reactions gave me more than one chuckle. The Doom Core seemed the perfect choice for dealing with bullshit resistances and immunities, I hoped it would also mean that my attacks on the mind would at least have some effect on pretty much anyone. I vowed to Respect Sacred Ground, that seemed like a freebie and actually fit well into my plan of blending in. I didn't vow to Love Humanity, as I planned to do plenty of unprovoked hurting and betrayal, but I went for Eradicate the Dark. I intended to rule over both the light and dark, might aswell start with the dark and get the Heroes off my back for now. I chose Humanity to blend in even more easily, Domain mainly to have a place to gather and store my army, Gods eye as knowledge is power and finally Angelic Protection as I had no intention of dying or falling to a stupid status effect or instant ****. For the miracles I picked the Mark of Submission, which was a beautiful tool of control and Enoch, which was a risky but powerful trump card.

The angel seemed satisfied and, after a short briefing on the Leaders of Dark, sent me on my way.
