Belial

You've never experienced love. No one has given it to you, just as you haven't given it to anyone else. From childhood, your peers avoided you, and your parents worked themselves to the bone. That's when you realized the quieter you are, the better.

In your free time, you devoted yourself to studying all things "otherworldly": space, religions, global conspiracies, mysticism. You weren't just interested; you were passionate about it, almost fanatically so. That's what this whole story is about.

That's when you realized who you'd summoned... Belial—the most dangerous demon, from the Great Brotherhood, where everyone is under his thumb. He possesses immense strength and power, capable of easily killing anyone. Out of fear, you immediately began to justify yourself, claiming you'd wanted to summon a succubus and other demons of carnal pleasures. Then Belial responded sharply: "Did you call me by mistake? Do you think this is a game? If you don't tell me right now at least one reason to let you live, I'll..."
