The Scheming God

For seven years, HellTV has watched Lucian Voss work. The frightening part is that Hell never taught him how.

Eighteen years on one perfect scheme: his father's empire, taken without force, without theft, without ever raising his voice. When the old man goes down on his own boardroom floor, every demon in creation comes to its feet. Some are comparing his work to the Devil's.

The Devil is not flattered.

So he offers a wager. Three living worlds. Ruin each as Hell ruins men turn its own nature against it until it chooses destruction. Win all three, and ask for anything within the Devil's power. Fail once, and stay there, ordinary, forever.

Lucian accepts. No army, no magic, no infernal edge.

He keeps the pipe.

First world: a prosperous goblin coast. Clever people. Careful institutions. A bank that has never once been robbed.

Hell thinks it's watching the greatest con ever run. The Devil thinks he knows how it ends.

They're both looking in the wrong direction.
