PROLOGUE:
HELL HR EXIT INTERVIEW
Setting: The Infernal Department of Soul Extraction & Eternal Torment (HR Division)
Mood: Bureaucratic hellscape meets chaotic resignation letter
⸻
“And you’re sure you’re resigning from eternal damnation?”
Ash glared at the demon across the desk, who wore a tie made from real screams.
“I’m not resigning. I’m taking a break. It’s called a sabbatical. Self-care? Heard of it?”
The HR demon blinked. “You’re a Level Six Incendiary Auditor.”
“Exactly. I’ve earned the right to eat ice cream out of a bathtub while crying to K-dramas.”
“There is no crying in Hell.”
“Yeah, that’s why I’m leaving.”
He signed the paperwork in his own blood, snapped his fingers, and vanished—leaving behind a scorched chair and a very confused intern.
