In his first life, the High Rise Devil was born into a broken family, surrounded by an environment of relentless torment. His parents, unable to see the innocence of childhood, subjected him to the worst kind of abuse. Physically, he bore the brunt of his father’s anger, enduring brutal beatings with every misstep. Emotionally, he was torn down at every turn. His mother, overwhelmed by her own struggles, offered no sanctuary; she, too, was a figure of neglect. His existence was a daily reminder that he was unloved, unwanted, and unworthy.

  As he grew older, the emotional scars became permanent, and his heart hardened. At school, he was a quiet and isolated boy, keeping to himself to avoid drawing attention. His classmates, sensing weakness, took advantage of him, subjecting him to ridicule and bullying. They mocked him for his battered appearance, and the taunts were constant. He grew to believe that this was the world’s way of treating him, that he was nothing more than a punching bag for society's darkest tendencies.

  However, amidst the cruelty, he found a brief respite in a small group of friends. He believed, perhaps naively, that they would be different. They were his solace, the few he thought he could trust, the ones who might understand him and offer him the love and care he so desperately craved. But that hope was his undoing. They betrayed him in the cruelest way imaginable. The friends he trusted the most, those who he had shared his darkest moments with, turned on him without warning. They lured him into an alley, where they brutally beat him, leaving him bloodied and broken. They abandoned him there, taking everything he had left—his trust, his hope, and his will to live.

  His last thoughts were filled with a searing rage at the world that had betrayed him. In his final breath, he swore vengeance on those who preyed on the weak, vowing that one day, if he ever had the power to rise again, he would bring judgment down upon those who shattered his soul. His life ended in betrayal—by his family, by his friends, and by the very world he tried to trust. But the seeds of his wrath were planted in that moment, and they would grow into something far darker.

  In his second life, the High Rise Devil was born into a country ravaged by war. His homeland was filled with violence, destruction, and despair. The streets echoed with the sounds of constant conflict, and survival was a battle fought daily. His family, though not rich, scraped by, doing their best to survive amidst the chaos. But despite the hardships, he found a glimmer of light in his relationship with a woman he loved deeply.

  She was his solace amidst the violence. Her smile was the only thing that made him believe in the possibility of happiness, and for a while, he felt that he could escape the horrors of the war with her by his side. But as the war escalated, so too did her actions. In the midst of the chaos, she made a deal with the enemy, a bargain that would ensure her safety and power. She turned away from him, no longer seeing him as a partner but a liability. He had always been a pawn in the game, and she had her own survival to consider.

  In a cold betrayal, she lured him into a trap. He trusted her, even as he felt the weight of the world pressing down on him. But the woman he loved was not the person he thought she was. She handed him over to the enemy, and they executed him without hesitation.

  As the life drained from his body, his heart shattered. He had given his love, his trust, and his loyalty to someone who had only used him as a stepping stone. He died at the hands of the woman he thought would protect him, and in his final moments, he realized that love was nothing more than a weapon in a cruel and unforgiving world. Betrayed by love, abandoned by the one person he trusted, his death was a stark reminder that even in a world of chaos, loyalty and love meant nothing.

  In his third life, the High Rise Devil was born into a family that appeared normal at first glance, but beneath the surface, dysfunction ran deep. His parents, though not abusive in the traditional sense, were cold, indifferent, and emotionally neglectful. They viewed him as nothing more than an obligation, a responsibility they had to deal with. His siblings, too, were distant and uninterested in him, leaving him to grow up in a home that lacked warmth and affection.

  Despite the neglect, he tried to make the best of things. He sought approval from his parents, tried to connect with his siblings, and dreamed of a life where he could be loved and valued. But his efforts were always in vain. His parents’ cold indifference turned to disdain as he grew older, and his siblings began to view him as a burden, someone who held them back from their own ambitions.

  His life spiraled downward, as he failed to find any real purpose or meaning. His family saw his pain but refused to acknowledge it, pushing him further into despair. Eventually, his family’s rejection became unbearable. They turned their backs on him entirely, no longer offering even the pretense of care or concern. He was abandoned, isolated, and left with nothing.

  Overwhelmed by the crushing weight of his life’s failures and the indifference of those who were supposed to love him, he chose to end it all. He took his own life, believing that in death, he would finally escape the torment that had followed him through every waking moment. His final thoughts were filled with the bitterness of betrayal—his family, the very people he should have been able to count on, had turned on him, and he was left with no choice but to end it all.

  In his fourth life, the High Rise Devil was born a girl in a quiet, rural town. The early years of her life were marked by innocence and joy, filled with the laughter of friends and the warmth of family. But the world had other plans. At the age of 13, she became the target of a man from her village, someone who was trusted by all. He assaulted her in the dead of night, taking away her innocence and leaving her broken.

  She tried to speak out, to tell someone, but no one believed her. The town, bound by old traditions and a collective silence, chose to ignore her cries. They dismissed her suffering, turning their backs on her as though she was the one at fault. Her family, too, offered no comfort. Her mother, unable to cope with the shame, distanced herself from her. Her father, too consumed by his own issues, failed to protect her.

  As the months passed, she became more isolated, a shadow of the girl she once was. Her hope for justice was crushed, and she began to believe that the world was a place where the innocent were never heard, where those with power were allowed to do as they pleased. She never got the chance to heal or find peace. She was murdered in cold blood at the age of 13, her life taken by the very person who had ruined it.

  Her death was a tragic and senseless loss, and in that moment, the High Rise Devil was born. The pain, the injustice, and the horror of her life and death forged a darkness that would not be forgotten. It was a life marked by brutality, betrayal, and silence—a life that ended too soon but would never be erased from the fabric of the High Rise Devil's soul.

  In his fifth life, the High Rise Devil was born into a world where he was nothing more than a pawn in someone else's game. His parents, ruthless criminals, used him as a tool for their own ambitions, sending him into dangerous situations from an early age. He was forced to commit crimes, never truly understanding why, but always carrying out the orders given to him.

  By the age of seven, he was already involved in a deadly game of manipulation and betrayal. His parents, driven by greed and power, used him as a pawn to carry out their twisted plans. But the world was unforgiving, and as the stakes grew higher, he became a liability.

  One day, as the criminal schemes escalated, the High Rise Devil's parents decided to eliminate him. They saw him as a threat to their success, someone who could expose their secrets and destroy their carefully built empire. They had no qualms about taking his life.

  He was killed before he even had the chance to comprehend the depth of the world’s cruelty. His death was swift and brutal, a casualty of a world where children were nothing more than tools to be discarded when no longer useful. His life was short, but the pain of his betrayal would echo through the ages.

  In his sixth life, the High Rise Devil was born into a family that seemed whole, filled with love and promise. His mother, sister, and girlfriend were the most important people in his life, and he believed in the bonds they shared. But his father was a man driven by manipulation and darkness, a man who would stop at nothing to control everyone around him.

  Using lies, deceit, and emotional manipulation, the father turned his family against him. His mother, sister, and girlfriend all abandoned him, choosing instead to side with his father's lies and toxic control. They were stolen away from him, leaving him isolated and alone, the bonds he cherished shattered by the cruel manipulations of the one person he had trusted most.

  In the end, unable to cope with the destruction of everything

  In the aftermath of the betrayals, violence, and emotional devastation that had plagued the High Rise Devil throughout his countless lifetimes, his suffering began to take on a life of its own. His grief, his rage, and the torment that had been building for so long became a dark, irresistible force that reverberated across the very fabric of existence. It was not long before this darkness, this abyss of despair, attracted the attention of something far more ancient and powerful than anything he had ever known: Satan himself.

  Satan, ever watchful in his realm of torment and damnation, felt the surge of chaos emanating from the High Rise Devil’s tortured soul. There was something uniquely potent about this being—a soul so scarred and twisted by unrelenting suffering that it threatened to consume all in its wake. Satan, always seeking ways to manipulate and harness pain for his own ends, saw in the High Rise Devil not just a broken man, but a tool of unfathomable potential. A being who had been betrayed at every turn, abandoned by all who once claimed to love him, and destroyed by the very systems that were supposed to protect him. This, Satan knew, could be the catalyst for a new kind of power—something that would strike terror into the hearts of humanity itself.

  The High Rise Devil’s journey had been one of relentless suffering and death—each life ending in betrayal, violence, and despair. He had been abandoned, manipulated, and ultimately discarded by those he had loved and trusted, each betrayal a scar on his soul that only deepened his fury. The rawness of his torment was like a beacon to Satan, who saw that it could be channeled into something far darker. Satan’s motives were not born out of malice or spite, but a deeper, more intricate design. He sought to forge something powerful—something that would transcend the human limitations of pain and sorrow, and instead embody them.

  With an almost predatory precision, Satan reached into the abyss of the High Rise Devil’s soul and tore away the remnants of humanity that had clung to him. No longer was he a mere man—a victim of circumstances too cruel to bear. Instead, he was to be remade into something more, something no mortal could ever comprehend. In the deepest, most forsaken pits of Hell, Satan wielded his power over darkness and torment to transform the High Rise Devil. No longer human, he was forged into a demon bird—a being of rage and vengeance, a grotesque and terrifying hybrid of man and creature, his body twisted and warped beyond recognition. His once human form was now a towering, monstrous figure, his limbs elongated into sharp talons that could rip through bone, and his wings were vast and deadly, capable of cutting through the air with the force of a hurricane. His once soft eyes, filled with a flicker of human emotion, were now replaced by burning orbs, gleaming with the fire of centuries of rage and betrayal.

  Now, as the Punisher of Humanity, the High Rise Devil was no longer bound by the fragile limits of human emotion. He was a being of pure vengeance, his every thought and action driven by an insatiable thirst for retribution. His transformation granted him power far beyond any mortal understanding, and he used it to tear through the world with no mercy. His every movement left a trail of destruction, the very ground beneath his feet quaking in fear at his presence. His wings, wide and unstoppable, could stir up storms that wiped entire villages from existence, and with each flap, they carried the whispers of his past lives—of the betrayals he had endured and the lives he had lost.

  But it wasn’t just the world that had wronged him. He had become an embodiment of vengeance itself, targeting not just those who had betrayed him, but anyone who represented the darkness of the human soul. He became a dark avenger, punishing the greedy, the corrupt, and the ruthless with terrifying precision. No one was safe from his judgment, for the High Rise Devil’s anger knew no bounds. The sins of humanity, the injustices that had turned him into a monster, were now his weapon, and he wielded them with unrelenting power. His existence was a constant reminder to those who would prey upon the weak, to those who would betray trust and love, that there would always be a reckoning—a punishment delivered without hesitation, without remorse.

  And so, the High Rise Devil became more than just a victim of his past lives; he became the instrument of humanity’s punishment. A terror to be feared, a figure that appeared in moments of darkness, delivering swift and brutal justice to those whose sins demanded it. His presence alone struck fear into the hearts of men, and his name became synonymous with the destruction of the wicked. He was no longer a broken man seeking vengeance for his past; he was a force of nature—unavoidable, unstoppable, and unstoppable. The world had given him nothing but pain, and now it would pay the price for that cruelty.

  But Satan’s transformation of the High Rise Devil also had a deeper consequence. As a demon bird, the High Rise Devil could never find peace. The rage that had consumed him, the desire for vengeance that had burned within him for so long, was now eternal. His wings would never rest, his judgment never cease. He was bound to a fate of endless punishment, unable to break free from the very darkness that had been instilled in him. His existence was now a never-ending cycle of torment and vengeance, a perpetual reminder that the world’s sins would always be met with punishment—delivered by the High Rise Devil, the Punisher of Humanity.
