Chapter 72: The Underworld

Darkness. The absence of light.

A word that defines evil.

The Underworld, a bottomless pit and a realm of shadows where demons and the fallens gathered.

Humans believed that it is an afterlife place where evil souls and sinners pay the penalty for their crimes. It is a place where eternal suffering and unending punishments for the wicked after death.

Some believed it was a humongous, smoky land shrouded by fire, filled with an indescribable and suffocating smell where demons and monsters lived. But for them, the Underworld was simply their home.

Demons are supernatural entities associated with evil or malevolent spirits that influence humans to act viciously.

Monsters are creatures of the Underworld, usually described as scary and with hideous appearances.

There were seven gates of the Underworld, and Acharon, the river of the dead, was the fastest way to go to Terra.
