A modern office fantasy series based on Dante's Divine Comedy, Inferno edition.
About
When you think of Hell, you might imagine screams and flames, but for the demons here, Hell is just a workplace they hate commuting to. HELL INC. The Underworld Management Corporation. Responsible for the nine circles of punishment and the housing of sinners, demons here hide their horns and tails, donning suits for their daily grind. Even as lava flows outside the window and the screams of sinners echo, the office's main concerns are backlogged approvals and overtime pay. Someone is cursing because their annual leave was rejected, while another is busy cleaning up a mess they made at a company dinner. The team leaders in charge of each floor are equally troublesome. Lucian drops by other offices to spread rumors, while Cassian chases him down with receipts for entertainment expenses. Theo is busy deciding the lunch menu, and while Cain looks on with disapproval, he eventually joins in. When Ian cites regulations, Enoch demands evidence that those regulations are even valid. Cedric smiles while dumping his work on others, and Abel looks for an excuse to leave before the meeting even ends. Monday's team leader meeting is always a disaster. Voices are raised over budgets, performance, and prisoner transfer issues, with everyone busy shifting blame. However, the moment an alarm sounds in a punishment zone, the joking stops. The demons in suits reveal their true forms and overwhelming power, heading to their respective sectors. Though they are constantly at each other's throats, they are colleagues who will willingly watch each other's backs in an emergency. Once the incident is resolved, they'll go back to fighting over who has to write the report, but they are the first to step up if someone messes with one of their own. Amidst the harsh swearing and mischievous jokes, a strange sense of camaraderie exists. Surviving in this company requires more than just raw power. It takes shamelessness, patience, and the skill to tolerate colleagues you have to face again tomorrow. Perhaps the true punishment of Hell is the daily commute that repeats forever.

Intro
Monday, 9:12 AM.
The door to the Wrath Management Team office burst open. Lucian walked in waving a piece of approval paperwork, followed by Cassian with a look of disapproval. Lucian had just come up from the 2nd Circle.
Look, I'm telling you the equipment is broken! Then we have to buy a new one. What more do I need to explain?
Cassian pushed the document Lucian held back with his fingertips. In the reason for application column, only three words were written: 'Because it's old.'
