What Is Good, If Not Hell?

My exact reaction to the new Mammon card:

‘Oh look Mammon’s finally back’.

Good on any WHB fan that has a piss kink, all the power to you, but I’ve never been less impressed by initial card art than right now.

Maybe there’s a chance that the card story actually has minimal piss… but I doubt it.

I’m just going to pretend that the card is actually focused on Mammon’s butt lol

The birthday of Niflheim’s lazy king has finally arrived. Assuming this would be another regular day, you were invited to a group chat earlier that was filled with well-known figures in the country. Beleth brought up how his majesty’s special occasion can be used to boost his exposure. Maybe spice things up a bit.

From taking charming photos of Belphegor to planning a delicious cake, chances of a popularity increase should rise a decent amount.

You suddenly had a few things in mind for his birthday, however. A small collection of gifts along with candies can brighten Belphie’s mood — but don’t expect too much.

Those gifts you might ask? Well, let’s just say you were able to find the nearest — or farthest — bookstore available that includes an assortment of manga. And what if there was a doll maker who was more than happy to design a mini version of him with intricate packaging? Lucky for you, these were free of charge.

After gathering the gifts, you headed straight to Niflheim. The nobles must have prepared everything by now, still waiting for your arrival. You walk past a few devils whispering about Belphegor’s occasion as they wallow in their stress through a regular workday. A spot in your heart felt bad for them. It would be a miracle if they had time to relax for the day.

Just a few more steps before the castle, you feel butterflies in your stomach while hoping for the best.

“He wouldn’t mind these gifts, right? I’m sure of it!”

And upon entering, a small group of nobles appeared right in the hallway. They immediately catch your presence starting with Andrealphus.

“Oh! Is that you? We’ve been waiting for your arrival!” He happily greets you.

You approach the group and smile back at Andre, “Hey! I just thought I could stop by a few shops and find some gifts.”

“Really? What are they? Can you tell me?”

You take a glimpse from your bags of items, “A collection of manga, candy, and a couple of dolls I got someone to make!”

Pulling out one of them, you present a figure resembling Belphegor. The black and white box was decorated with a pattern similar to his tattoo along with his sigil and triple sixes, and a bow tied to the box’s corner. Gusion inspected the gift closely, annoyed and tired just by looking at it.

“Sigh, definitely somethin’ his majesty would want.”

Beleth giggled at the doll’s cuteness, “Well ain’t that adorable? Looks just like him, too!” He then presents a cake that he baked earlier, “Here, whatcha think? It’s a licorice cake!”

The licorice-flavored treat possesses a monochromatic appearance with a ring of chocolate-drizzled strawberries and white pearls as toppings. The idea of a cake made with licorice was new to you, and the opportunity to try it couldn’t be passed up.

“It looks great, Beleth! Though I haven’t tried this type of cake before.”

Bathin studied over a couple of posters that were made to spread all over Hell. Taking a peek yourself, the designs were made to look appealing, dreamy-like with a white vignette effect for them. Their text read “Birthday wishes to the King of Niflheim” in a fancy cursive. They were of Belphegor’s face and chest, a couple of pairs of hands forming a heart in front of each. You can tell they belonged to Beleth and Agares from the chat before.

“These should do, Gusion. Good work,” Bathin stacks both posters in his hand, “Let’s get these taken care of, then.”

Gusion gathers a handful of posters before heading out, “C’mon, Andre. We need to regroup with the others.”

“Alright! Have fun you two!”

You and Beleth stay in the castle with a few other residents. Both of you chatter your way through the halls, bringing up the king’s birthday in general and his habit of being lethargic.

As time went by since meeting Belphegor, he was always a shroud of mystery to you. Everyone knew he was constantly lazy, staying in bed for the most part and sleeping peacefully. Still, there had to be more secrets you don’t know about, right? His past, and those powers. You wished he actually had the energy to tell you these things. Even most of the kings didn’t know him enough.

Beleth lends you a hand into his majesty’s room, holding the door open like a gentleman. You remain quiet in case Belphie’s narcolepsy kicks in. As you were getting close to his bed, Belphegor lay there undisturbed, heavy snoring echoing through the space. You put the bags aside to sit next to him.

You quietly whisper, “Belphegor…I came by to see you.”

His eyelids flinched a little while his brain was resting. You wait patiently and pet his dark strands. Belphegor cranes his head back to feel your hand.

“Belphie, I bought you some birthday gifts,” you cooed again.

Your soft words slowly awaken the king, eyes opening halfway before you.

“Mm…hey, darlin’…”

Belphie yawns and stretches his spine. He combs back his hair and sits up to your level. The king noticed a couple of bags placed on the bed, and a smiling Beleth holding the cake.

“Y’all been spoilin’ me today, huh?” The devil king crosses his arms, “You don’t gotta do all o’ this tiresome work fer me.”

“Huh? But we wanted to, Belphie. Your birthday deserves to be celebrated at least, and it doesn’t have to be anything extravagant.”

You lift two loaded bags full of books for him to see. He raises a brow curiously, having a certain belief that you brought in a solid amount of manga. He wasn’t wrong, but it was something more than that.

“Besides, I got you a nice collection of manga you might like!” You pull out a few books with glee.

After the books caught his eye, Belphegor’s face turned more awake than ever. Never in his mind did he believe you would gift him such a haul of Berserk manga. He takes one of the books to examine its detailed covers.

“Sugar…”

He can feel his heart race, flipping the many fresh pages of the masterful art inside. It wasn’t manga created in Hell, but one of the most popular works from Earth. A story so timeless that it received widespread recognition from every corner, especially among manga lovers.

Belphegor closes the book as he still holds onto it. He turns to you with a smile on his face. Just the expression itself makes your heart warm up.

“Beleth, give us time alone, will ya?”

“Oh? Of course, your majesty. I’ll give y’all a slice of cake each!”

The noble was about to walk off to do the favor until he was interrupted by you.

“Wait! Is it okay if Belphegor and I share a plate? I’m not sure if I’m interested in the cake yet…”

You turn to the king’s direction and earn a nod from him. Beleth accepts your request before heading off to handle the dessert in the castle’s kitchen.

“I never expected such a thoughtful gift,” the king lifts his hand to your head, tousling your hair as a way of praising, “Ya got some good taste, don’t ya?”

“O-oh! Uh, well I-“

“I’ve been needin’ to read this. Heard it’s got some good characters, too.”

Belphie’s fingers trace over the book’s detailed cover like a precious artifact he longed for. Deep in his heart, he cherished manga as if they were not just books to read, but a way to escape the annoyances and stress from reality. The compelling writing and art itself are what make the king happy. The way Belphegor sits there to admire his new book in silence was genuinely heart-warming.

You dive into another bag and pull out the two boxes of figures: one containing Belphegor, and the other modeled after yourself. His eyes immediately caught their attention.

“I found someone to make a couple of figures that look like us, too!” You hand the dolls over as he examines them, “What do you think? They’re cute, right?”

Belphie’s eyes gleamed in awe. Every detail was crafted in careful intricacy. He saw the mini versions of you two as inseparable, bound to stay together forever. The king hasn’t experienced this amount of emotion in his life.

He stayed silent in his thoughts, “This human really cares about my birthday, huh?”

The set of dolls was a very thoughtful birthday present, but he had another idea in mind — something that might make your heart melt a little.

“Mm, here.”

He hands over one of the dolls back to you: the King of Niflheim himself. You sat there confused as to why. Probably because he would rather keep a figure of you than of his mini lookalike, or it was for a different reason alone. Assuming this was him being in your debt, you were thinking about reconsidering the decline of the gift.

“Uh…wait, are you sure you don’t want it? The doll maker put a lot of effort into it. It’s supposed to be special,” your voice sounded down at Belphegor’s refusal.

“It’s not what ya think, darlin’.”

He lifts your chin to meet your puppy-eyed look. Giggling at the reaction, Belphegor caresses the bottom of your lip for a simple reassurance.

“I wanna make this as a way to better remember each other.”

Your heart suddenly flutters within your chest, your eyes blinking away the welling up tears. Fingers hold onto the box tightly. Never in a million years did you expect to hear something this sweet from Belphie. Even when he was constantly a walking mess at times, he always had a soft spot reserved just for you.

“Belphie…I- you’re kidding, right?!” You reply in disbelief.

“Why would I kid around like that?”

You couldn’t tell if this was real. This was a new side of the devil king you had never witnessed at all, and you were more than embracing it. You wanted to pounce into a hug right then and there. There weren’t any more words you could think of at the moment.

“Hey…”

Belphegor grabs your arm without an ounce of force, beckoning you to move closer.

“Let’s read the manga together, yeah?”

While a warm redness covers your face, you accept his offer and scoot next to his side. Belphegor, however, patted his lap for you to sit instead. You adjust yourself under the covers comfortably near his warmth. He takes the first volume of the manga and opens the beginning pages.

“I’ll handle the pages fer ya.”

You lean on his body as you happily focus on the story. Within his calm demeanor, Belphie can feel the excitement rush through his body. What a perfect time to start a new story, especially when you were in his arms.

It was a precious moment in his life that he didn’t expect at least once. Belphegor never cared about his birthday since he only treated it as another ordinary day of endless sleeping. Instead, he was wakeful now because of you making everything special for him.

The devil presses his lips to your head. It wasn’t a standard kiss — more so a soft, quiet smooch. His nose buries itself in your strands to take in your familiar scent and nuzzles.

“Thank you, sugar.”

You and Belphegor continue reading in the silent atmosphere. This was one of the rare cases when the devil king didn’t sleep for the majority of the day. As bothersome as being alive was, he at least has someone who makes his life worth living.

I really want a card where beelzebub gives us a piercing or a tattoo ;-; i think it'd be so sweet if it was like our first time saving a devil or something like that and we get back to the castle and he's like "you're so brave I'm so proud of you :)" and then tattoo and then h scene :D

Or even something dumb like we made very yummy cookies i dont care i want him to give me a tattoo 😭💞

I really hope PB updates this sometime, I think it's over due for an update.

Old post below I made a few months ago of some suggestions for updates, like maybe something like this (I only put a low number of keys as they have said due to lore they don't give them out much but really I think it's time to end that and give them out more)

I like to see better items in not the most easy and basic things to far like jelly beans. Put in the puddings and full pies. Since tears are pretty easy to get now maybe swap half for AP chargers so we can save for things like birthday events, like with Beels or the current one where you need them if you want to clear the shop.

Another thing I want to see updated is update the seal artifact 1 seal every week is disappointing. I'd like to see it give 1-5 a day or 10-20 every 7 days

What suggestions do you have for the game or would like to see happen. Apart from main story as we all want that one and for it to be updated faster after the next part drops as well. Maybe the more we post suggestions or ways to improve certain parts of the game the more they see them.

[wihellib]

I think anything that can be easily farmed, like books, gold, and all forms of jellies, should not be on the daily login.

The number of instances of Solomon’s tears should be reduced to four total.

Pie slices and whole pies can be on it since they can’t be farmed.

The AP charges would be a really nice thing to add.

I’d love nightmare pancakes to be on there, but I don’t see them ever doing that unfortunately.

Pretzels I’m less interested in since we can get a good amount each day from the Friends list.

They should increase the amount of gold and red keys we get.

And I want them to increase the Solomon’s Seals to 125 each, so that we’d get 250 Seals a month which is half a ten pull.

(And the 1 Solomon Seal a week from the artifact is almost insulting. It should be at least 10)

[girlfriendpaimonsgirlfriend]

Gamigin found about the school world thing and got jealous he couldn’t see Lucifer in school uniform. So he put on Gamigin’s uniform because it looks the closest to a school uniform.

He acts like he’s so annoyed by Gamigin but will almost always do what he asks lmao he’s really like a caring older brother

[bakdbfi]

And You wonder why Andrealphus is never working!? You all love to point out the demons blind but you can't make that big brain you got to think about how hard it would be for a BLIND MAN to handle work material.
