CULT

My name is Greg, and i’m 17 years old. I’m in high school now. As you know yourself, high school is the hardest. You have to be a popular student to be free from bullies at school. As for me, I'm just a nerdy freak with only 4 friends. And they're all boys, Haha. I lived high school life very hard. Since I don't have any talent and my family is not a rich family, then how can I become popular? impossible. I just gave up receiving bullying every day with "my friends".

But one day, this girl named Mary came over to me during the break time. Mary was a "former freak" and now she became the idol of the boys in our school. Somehow, within a day, her appearance changed 180 degrees. But for plastic surgery, it seems impossible. Because Mary's family is a simple family, and not that rich. it is impossible to waste their money just for plastic surgery costs. And that is the reason she came to me. She will tell the secret behind her success.

With her beautiful face, she approached me and said “Hey, You're greg, right? Aren't you tired of being bullied by kids at school?”. Then I replied "What kind of human wants to suffer? What are you here for? Please don't talk to me. I'm a freak, and you're a star. If you talk to me, then I'll get in trouble". Then she smiled and said that the secret to her success was working with the devil. I was very surprised at that time. I had no idea that a human would do such a bold thing just to gain fame. Cooperating with the devil is absolutely pointless, right? Because in return, you have to give sacrifice every time, or become his slave in hell later.

Mary shared that she was tired of being teased by the kids at school. Moreover, her family's economic condition is mediocre. So this is the only path that can be chosen to escape from that sad life. Mary said that she just wanted to help the freaks at school get out of their bad status at school. Meanwhile, I was still surprised by what she said. Mary said "Let me give you my phone number. The rest, it's up to you. Only you can change your destiny. If you change your mind, just call me." Then the bell rang and Mary left me.

After school, my four friends and I gathered in the field near the school as usual. We discussed about Mary. As it turned out, my other friends were also approached by Mary. The four of them felt that cooperating with the devil was strictly prohibited. They were better off being freaks forever, rather than having to sell someone else's soul or their soul to the devil. Meanwhile, I was silent and did not participate in the discussion with them. I feel attracted to Mary's offer. I was very tired of being ridiculed by the kids at school. I wanted to experience what it was like to be a star who was respected by everyone, and liked by many girls. Finally, after gathering, we went straight to our homes. I immediately dialed Mary's number when I got home and said that I was interested in her offer.

Mary said that tonight is the night of her usual meeting. This meeting is held every 3 weeks. That's why Mary turned to us, freaks, to join her today. Mary said that she would introduce me to "The Almighty Devil". We agreed to meet at Mary's house. Then we will go to the gathering place together. 9 pm arrived, and I immediately went to Mary's house. Arriving there, it turned out that Mary was waiting in front of the porch of her house wearing all black clothes. Then Mary gave us a demon mask to wear when we got to the meeting place.

It turned out that the meeting place was in the area around the forest near Mary's house. After walking about 500 meters into the forest, we finally found a human head that had been hanging from a large tree. I was quite surprised and tried to calm down. Mary said that the head was a sign that we would arrive at the meeting place in a moment. Finally, we arrived at the meeting place. It was surprising how many people had gathered. They all wear demon masks to cover their identities, just like us. They all surrounded a bonfire containing a human being burned. I was very scared at that time. However, Mary tried to calm me down. On the belly of the poor man was a pentagram symbol that had been engraved with a knife. Honestly, I really feel like throwing up. However, Mary has helped me get here. I don't want to be a burden to her.

Finally, the demon summoning ceremony began with a strange song chanted by the members. The chant was sung blindfolded. After the chant finished, a demon with the head of a goat and this human body suddenly appeared hovering above the bonfire. Its form is quite large and terrible. Then the devil ate this human who was being burned. Then he drank the blood until it runs out. After finishing, he suddenly said "Thank you for the banquet, O my slaves. You already know the rules, right? To ask for a request, you have to sell your soul to me, and give me a sacrifice in the form of a living human. So, who want to start first? ".

Suddenly Mary raised her hand. The devil said "Wow, you are a woman who is quite greedy right? Do you have a sacrifice for this request? Didn't you sacrifice all your family members?". Instantly I was very shocked and my whole body trembled. Is it true that Mary sacrificed her entire family to the devil just for money and fame? So, why did she invite me here? I did not bring a sacrifice to offer. And apparently, that is the last day I live in this world.
