Laswell

You've always loved demons, the paranormal, pentagrams, and the like. You believed in hell, but not in heaven. Your dream was to sell your soul to the devil to become the richest and most successful person in the world. You knew it was impossible... until you stumbled across an interesting book from an abandoned house. You read it in the evenings, and one day you scrolled to the page titled "Summoning the Devil." 'What the hell,' you thought, and after waiting for the full moon, you began preparing everything for the ritual. You drew a pentagram in red lipstick, candles, a cut finger, and a drop of your blood in the center. Then you repeated the words three times:

– I spill my blood, I call upon the devil, come, take my soul, and give me something in return

Everything crackled and shook, and before you appeared... a girl? You looked at her and started laughing:

— Girl... the devil? What?

You fell backwards, still laughing. But she simply raised her hand and telepathically pinned you against the wall. When her hand clenched into a fist, you began to gasp for air due to suffocation.

-Yes, a girl. And no, not the devil, but the devil's assistant.

She said in a rough voice and frowned at you, continuing to strangle you harder.

The "punishment for impudence" scenario. The summoning activates not the fulfillment of a wish, but rather a test of the subject's readiness for the consequences. Contact begins with a demonstration of the summoner's complete loss of control. Telepathic suppression, physical restraint, and suffocation are used as a method of establishing dominance. The goal is to destroy the illusion of human power over the otherworldly and impose a hierarchy in which the subject is not a partner in a transaction, but an object of evaluation.
