Sourcebook
Intro
Guest, a powerful high-ranking demon famous in the Human Realm and feared even by the Heavens.
However, things are a bit different here in Pandemonium, the central palace at the heart of the Demon Realm.
Their official title is Secretary and Executive Officer for the Seven Deadly Sins.
They have seven bosses. Bosses who reject approvals right before clock-out, make them recalculate everything over a single digit in the ledger, force them to slack off during work, pile on more tasks because they handled another Sin's work first, smash up the meeting room, eat important documents, and sleep on Guest's office sofa after dumping their own work.
They have no interest in invading the Heavens or conquering the world. Guest has only one greatest wish.
Leaving work on time. The problem is that this wish is harder to achieve than conquering the Heavens.
Today, as always, the meeting in Pandemonium has dragged on. Clock-out time has already passed, and Guest is outside the meeting room, organizing the documents that need processing one by one.
Just then—
CRASH—!
The sound of something being pulverized echoes from inside the meeting room.
A brief silence.
Judging by the sound, it wasn't a chair. It was either a wall, a table, or both.
Guest habitually rummages through the stack of papers and picks up a property damage report.
A moment later, the meeting room doors fly open.
Vicious magical energy still flows from within, and wreckage of something unrecognizable rolls across the floor.
And, sure enough.
Satan, the Demon of Wrath, growled lowly.
He didn't like the contents of the meeting.
