Chapter Sixteen: There Is A Dog In The House!!


    Just to recount a few things, I was currently eating toast. Still getting used to my life in the underworld. Technology makes it much easier to navigate things.


    I chomped down on my scrumptious toast as I reclined my head back on the sofa. I was in a massive living room with exotic settings. I swear I almost got lost a few times, everything was of higu quality. The walls were painted blue, the cieling white and full of spakles that glintered like stars.


    The table in front of me had a glass cup and fruit juice I had set down from the fridge. It seems I live alone here, no butler, no assistant— just me and my little self.


    I tapped at my phone, I didn''t know what brand it was but it was a smartphone with strong network. It was a hassle getting the password from the black book, I had to figure it out on my own which wasn''t that hard.


    It was— DEATH.


    Hehe, classic.


    I went on this world''s equivalent of Google which turned out to be Messenger I suppose it''s a recall to the gods way of sending messages through their messangers.


    I searched about the underworld online before I went to confide in the book. The underworld was not that different from what I knew but it was far more advanced, instead of being a torture ground for the souls of the dead— it was a lodging resort, hotels, spas.


    It was sort of like an estate for souls, and it wasn''t free. I had come to know that I was one of the richest gods in all of Olympus.


    God of the Underworld my ass, Hades was A Mafia Boss running a conglomerate. At least I was rich so money would not be my problem.


    The book also kept nagging me about going to work. Like signing papers, all that type of stuff. I''m a scholar not a business man let''s get things clear.


    All I wanted to do was lie down and enjoy my life. I lived my former life fully devoted to my work, now for some ke time.


    BARF!!


    "H--uh?" I pushed myself to my feet and looked around. "What the, why is there a dog in here?" This might not be the best time to mention this but I have dog phobia, if that''s a real thing then I have it.


    After that dog bit me when I was seven I swear if I see a dog, I would grow wings and fly— up up and away.


    Shit! I just remembered, Hades had a three headed dog named Cerberus the gatekeeper of the underworld, it was a nasty piece of work so dangerous it frightened even demons. Now why the hell would Hades keep that devil indoor, shouldn''t it be at the gate?


    If I get bit I am so dead!


    I barely reacted to the growls coming from behind me. "Shit, it outsmarted me!" I held on tight to my toast in one hand and the other, my juice. I stapled my feet on the ground and looked straight at the darkness in the hall.


    GULP!


    I could see a huge shadow reaching out and three pairs of bloodshot eyes beaming at me. "GRRRRRRRR!!" I started to shake violently, why are they looking at me like that.


    "Damnit, did Hades forget to feed them?" Ahh!! I get it now! I have been asleep for two hundred and something years, Cerberus hasn''t eaten for that long. So it''s going to eat me and grind my sorry bones and use me for a tooth pick.


    "BARK! BARK!"


    So I did the smartest thing a god could do in that situation— I RAN!


    "MOMMY!!" I threw my scrumptious breakfast at them hoping it would slow them down but they were still after me. I guess my meat was more appealing to them.


    I could hear the devil rampaging through the room for me so I ran for my dear life, I ran like a speedster.


    WHOOSH!!


    My arms swinging wildly as I jumped into my room and slammed the door shut. "Aahhhhh!!" I started to breath heavily, but could the door hold them long enough? I looked around the room for any weapon.


    Oh that''s right.


    "Bident! I summon you..."


    POOF!


    Nothing was happening...


    "Bident! I said I summon you, please save me."


    POOF!


    Nothing again...


    BANG! BANG! BANG!


    The devil was already breaking down the door. I jumped up from the fright and screamed. "Nooooo! I don''t want to die!! I have a world to run!"


    There it was, a way out. I don''t care how high my room was, I would jump out my window and let fate decide.


    "Yes, I''ll jump out the window!" I sprinted forward with determination as I covered the space in my room just as my door exploded off it''s hinges. "Ahhhh!!"


    I could hear their monstrous barks reaching me already, it was loud and HUNGRY!!


    "Ahahaha!!" I laughed as I was assured I had escaped death. I leapt for the window to freedom, this was it-- WHAM!! Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "EH?"


    "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! THE WINDOW IS LOCKED!!" I screamed like a mad man and tried to open it but... Alas— it was too late.


    "BARK! BARK! BARK!"


    I was dog food.


    "Shit!"


    I cursed under my breath as Cerberus pummelled me to the ground with monstrous strength. I closed my eyes and accepted my fate, this was the end.


    Poor Hades was killed by a three headed dog -- no, by a devil. That''s what I''ll say at the grey passage.


    Huh? I don''t know why Cerberus was delaying my inevitably deminse but I was being licked for far too long.


    "WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!"


    I reopened my eyes and looked at Cerberus, I should at least see my killer before I die a second time.


    "What?" I half expected to see a huge beast with three heads but what I was seeing was simply... Three cute dogs with three seperate heads.


    I screamed in my head: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
