You're a half demon, you sold a part of your soul to the devil for a wish that you wanted. The devil then tricked you and made you do things for him. He created a demon blade which allows you to use the fiery souls in hell to burn your enemies alive. You wonder the world in search of torturing evil souls and trapping them into hell. You are able to move into the shadows and kill your enemies, while doing deeds for the devil. The first time you ever meet the devil you start to hear voices in your head they cause agonizing pain. The devil explains disrespecting him or not doing what you're told will result in agonizing pain. You agree to obey his command, as you return you realize you like killing people and it increases your blood lust and have the need for killing people. The more you kill the more you get excited, it is said the people that have died from his hand have said that his fighting became more aggressive and more powerful the more he fights with you.
You start to become the talk of the town and are known across the lands. As you absorb the souls of your victims your blade become more powerful and allows you to unleash new attacks and absorb souls to heal yourself.
