《Helluva Boss: Hellish Love (Loona X Original Character)》Chapter 32: The Harvest Moon Festival Part 5
Advertisement
It was the day of the Harvest Moon Festival, Loona and I woke up at about 9:00am and got dressed and then had our breakfasts with everyone before heading out towards the festival we arrived around about 10:15am-ish. There were food stalls, merchandise stores, Alcohol you name it they had it. I could see the courses in the distance and they reminded me a lot of like a military course like we had when I was in the cadets when my father wanted me to "Man up" but from the looks of it it was way more extreme. A huge crowd had gathered at the stage and there was a demon on the stage dressed in white and had a black bowtie and top hat with a cane who looked oddly familiar and as we got closer to the stage I said to Loona "Hey babe does that guy seem familiar to you?" Loona looks onto the stage and squints her eyes and then says "Oh hey it's Wally Wackford, the guy from the TV who was also somehow in the office when we dealt with our last client...What was his name again?" I thought for a moment before I remembered "Oh! Loopty Goopty" Loona snapped her paw and pointed at me and said "Ah that's the one".
By the time we got close enough to the stage Wally Wackford had begun his speech "Welcome-All-To-Wrath Rings-Annual-Harvest-Moon-Festival. To kick things off we have the great Prince Stolas here to usher in this here pain game" I looked at the tall feathered owl like demon who wore a gold crown and a red cape and I turned to Loona and said "So this that Stolas guy and Blitzo...you know? Uh fucks for the book that we use?" Loona groans and said "Yep this is the guy". Stolas walks towards the microphone and begins to speak "Oh how kind Wackford. Greetings Wrath Ring Imps, I hereby welcome you all to another year of celebrating the spoils of your labor that continue to feed the citizens of hell. I'm happy to kick off the start of these games that will challenge the toughest Imps, to show off their skill and dominance. Good luck to you all, especially that sexy little one there...Yoo-hoo Blitzy" I almost about pissed myself laughing at that last sentence and then I hear Blitzo mutter under his breath in annoyance "Oh fuck me!" Loona simply rolled her eyes and then she followed the others and I competing to the starting line ready to start off the games.

Loona was standing on the sidelines shouting "Kick their asses Carter Woo!" I was standing at the starting line, Blitzo was on my right and Striker was on my left and next to Striker was Moxxie who looked nervous. I gave him a smile and a thumbs up which made Moxxie smile lightly. Moxxie looked behind and saw the wall of other demons behind us. The starting gun went off and I belted it towards the first task and I glance behind and saw Moxxie being trampled.
The first obstacle was a climbing wall, I was already in first place and Striker was in second, I climbed over the wall and avoided the puddle on the other side. Striker jumped over with Blitzo in third place right after him, I glance behind at the wall whilst I still ran and I was surprised to see Moxxie in fourth place! He struggled to climb the wall and fell into the hole in the ground filled with water and a FUCKING SHARK ATTACKED HIM! but I kept going and finished in first place, with Striker still in second, Blitzo third, and poor Moxxie got 18th place . Which considering that it was out of 50 demons and he was attacked by a shark that was still very good for him to get top 20.
Loona ran up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me and said "Way to go babe, first place!" I smiled and said "I am actually surprised, All throughout school I was shite at the running obstacle races, I guess that my hell hound body was all that I needed" Loona looked at Moxxie from over my shoulder and said whilst laughing "Did you see Moxxie when he fell into the shark pool?" I looked over at Moxxie and then back to Loona and said "Yeah I know, I didn't that there was a shark in there...It could've been me" Loona waved her paw and said "Nah it wouldn't have you easily cleared it along with Striker and Blitzo, Moxxie is just a wimp who's trying to show something of himself" I look over at Moxxie sympathetically who was being consoled by his wife Millie and I said to Loona "Well either way even if he knows that he can't, it should be commended that he's trying for Millie and to her family. All that anyone asks is for you to at least try right?"

Loona looks at me and her expression tells me that she feels guilty about what she said and then looks at me and says "Yeah alright I suppose that you have a point in that regard...Anyway lets go with the others towards the second task" I didn't even think about the second task and I asked Loona "Hey babe what is the second task?" Loona looked at me and smiled devilishly and said "Wrangling".
The Wrangling event was between you and another demon and the task was to wrangle and tie up you opponent. Since there was 50 of us only one could win between two so there was 15 places to be won. Everyone was given their rope and I was placed with a guy who was about the same height as Zraard which intimidated me a bit but he seemed to muscle to move also which I knew would be my advantage. The demon that I would be going up against me said "Are you going to be a good boy and heel for me?" he said in a mocking tone " Smiled and said whilst rolling my eyes at him "Sure thing mate". I look around and Striker is Blitzo's opponent and poor Moxxie is going up against a guy the same size as mine he won't stand a chance.
Another hun fires and Striker has Blitzo on the floor and hog tied already and he got first place, my opponent lunged at me and fell onto the floor and then I hogtied him so which I then got second place, and of course poor Moxxie didn't even place and was instantly crushed by his opponent, he was absolutely humiliated when his opponent tied him up he looked like a baby wrapped in cloth and only the face could be seen. I was congratulated by both Striker and Blitzo and Loona high fived me and then we made our way over to the next event which was Tug o War.

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****
