A) The one and only. (Walker)
You take a deep breath, then quickly take the first move by dashing at her and swinging your sword.

She parries it away, somehow causing the sword to vanish upon contact, then counters with a lunge.

You sidestep it and materialize another sword to swing right at her...only for it to vanish again upon hitting her. You quickly jump back before she could counter again, then start charging up an energy sphere.



It was your first day of high school, and you were stuck waiting for the ever so late teacher. You look around nervously, seeing that most people have already formed their cliques and friend groups. You're used to being alone, but it gets tiring. You look left, to the girl sitting next to you looking idly out the window. You decide to try and make her your first friend in this new environment.

Except you're kind of terrible with people and only know how social cues work in anime. You take your eraser and chuck it at her arm.

Ow! She says while rubbing the targeted area and looking at you with a frown.

You sweat even more nervously. You didn't think you'd get this far. I, uh, dropped my eraser. You put a hand behind your head. Not really. I just, um, wanted to say hi.

She keeps her frown on, then giggles a little as she chucks the eraser back at you. That's a funny way of dropping things.



You throw the sphere of energy at her with full force.

She brings her rapier back, then quickly swipes at the sphere, swatting it away and dissipating it. She then starts making a mad dash towards you, keeping her blade pointed forward.

You point your palm at her to swap her, but it doesn't do anything. You quickly take to the skies before she could close the distance.



She follows you around as you look for a spot to eat lunch. The cafeteria's no good, so you head outside.

You find a peculiar tree at the courtyard. Well, it's kind of far from everything else, but at least there's no one else here.

She sits down right under it, then smiles at you. We should give it a name!

You sit next to her and look up at the tree leaves. I'm terrible with names. I'd probably just call this Tree.

She pouts at you. That's so lame! She puts her finger on her chin. How about...Wally?

You smirk. Wally? That's your not-lame name?

She looks up to the leaves as well. Yeah! It's part Walky, and part Lily.

You blush a little and look to the side. Oh. I'm still calling it Tree. Easier that way.

She closes her eyes. Nope. We're putting the name Tree on the list. You have to call it Wally.



She follows you into the air, shooting waves of wind at you.

You try to dodge them, but one of them grazes a wing, causing it to disappear and destabilizing your flight a little. You reorient yourself then spread out your arms to send out a dozen copies at her.

She twirls around, sending a giant gust of wind which destroys all the copies surrounding her.

However, that created an opening for you. You materialize your whip and crack it at her.

And yet, her reflexes are too much. She immediately sees it coming then grabs a hold of the end of the whip, then yanks it and pulls herself towards you as the whip disappears.



She pulls herself towards you as she embraces you, sobbing on your chest.

You return her embrace and look at the faces of students going about their day, all from the shade of Wally. You think about their stories too, about whats on their minds, about if they have their share of troubles too.

Much like Lily does. You dont ask her what happened. If she wants to talk about it, she trusts you enough to do so. But right now is simply the time to be held in safety, away from the troubles.

Its the best you could do, anyway.

You quickly materialize your bow and start shooting at her rapidly as she fast approaches. Much like your other attacks, they simply bounce off like flies. You didnt think itd come to this.

Error 666.

Activating it emitted an incredible shockwave around you, which still hasnt fazed Lily. She at least stopped in her tracks to defend against it. You take this moment to use everything you got. A hundred clones, some are using Energy Snare, while others are charging up an Energy Sphere. A hundred more clones with Lucys Sword. A hundred more with Averys Bow. A hundred more with Allies Whip. You send them all out at her at once while letting out a powerful scream.

The only thing Lily does is simply stay still, staring at you in the eye with a pained expression as she nullifies your attack.

They all keep coming at her, flying into her and sending blasts of energy at her.

And yet she continues to stay still. Every clone that touches her simply disappears. Every blast of energy simply fades away.

Its over. That was all you had. You cant even keep your wings up. You plummet from the air and land on the floor of the void.

She lands in front of you gently, looking down on you with tears forming in the corner of her eyes. She kneels on top of you and raises her rapier, ready to stab into you.



She finally stops sobbing and simply lays on your chest in silence, still being held in your arms.

You continue to look to the distance. Im, uh, not the best at this, and don't know exactly what happened, but everythings gonna be okay, alright? I'm always here for you. After all, that's what friends are for, right?

Eventually, she looks up with her reddened eyes and tries to smile at you weakly.



She looks down at you with her reddened eyes, then she brings her rapier down.

Stabbing it to the ground next to you.

She breaks down into tears, laying on top of you and sobbing on your chest.

Exhausted as you are, you still try embrace her without a word.

I'm sorry she says through her sobbing, Im...I'm so sorry

You chuckle weakly. Glad to see you again, Lily.

Neither of you say anything more. The two of you remain like this for a while; only the sounds of intermittent sobbing is audible to you.

Suddenly, a suit of silver armor appears before you two, wielding a longsword in his hands.

You blink a bit to make sure you're not hallucinating from exhaustion. That must be... The Judge.

Lily looks behind in surprise, then wipes her face and tries to help you up to face him properly.

The Judge slams his sword into the ground, painting the white void into a golden hue. He speaks with a robotic voice. Overseers of Heaven and Hell. I sense unity between you two. The prerequisites have been met, and I am able to assist you both.

You look at him in confusion. Wait...I thought the Judge only shows up to he who controls Heaven and Hell. And...assist?

Lily also raises an eyebrow. Jack must have gotten it all wrong

His helmets visor glows green for a moment. That is correct. The overseer of Heaven and the overseer of Hell are both present, and currently not in conflict. My role is simply to grant the requests of the overseers, provided it does not favor one side or the other. I must remain neutral.

You blink a bit more. What about Demon Deals? Aren't they biased for Demons?

His visor glows red. I am not aware of this concept of Demon Deals. If you are referring to 'Trials, this is a power granted to both sides. He pounds his sword to the ground again. Please state your request.

Lily faintly smiles at you. Walky...I'm done playing God. All this power just feels empty. This Heaven and Hell stuff is just tiring. I'm just...tired of it all.

You smile back. Yknow, I think I'd have to agree. You look right at the Judge with confidence. Our request, as the overseers of Heaven and Hell, is

[ It's time for the final choice. ]
[ You're free to input your own ending, or modify any of the endings below, or simply choose one of them as is. ]

A) Abolish Heaven and Hell. Demons and Angels will live as humans, including you, Lily, and all your friends. Those that died will return, also as humans. The cities that were destroyed will revert back to their non-ruined state.
B) Only you and Lily return to being humans. The ruined cities revert back. Those that died will resurrect. Heaven and Hell will appoint a new Demon Lord and a new God.
C) Simply pass on from this world. Everything will continue from here without you two. Nothing reverts. You join your fallen comrades.

(If you choose A, feel free to choose someone to end up with. Or not, being single is A-okay too (pun intended))

Anime reasons basically. She's shy and nerdy so she's perfect for us as a character. There were a significant amount of Allie affection choices made in the first topic I think.

Plus, I'm assuming she was our first kiss or something.

A) Game Over.



Lucy waves at you as you walk through the library doors. Look who it is!

Valerie turns around from arranging some books on the shelf and smiles at you, then runs up behind the counter. Heya, sweetie. Whatcha need?

You wave back at them, then take out a pair of textbooks from your bag and lay it on the counter. Just gotta return these overpriced piles of garbage.

Valerie giggles. Well, my job wouldnt like it if I agreed with you--

Lucy leans forward. Fuck that, Ill fully agree with you!

Valerie rolls her eyes. Anyway, sweetie, thanks for returning them on time. Is it really already the end of the semester?

You cross your arms. Yep. Time flies, huh? Anyways, I gotta be someplace else, but it was nice seen you guys again, you say as you wave at them then head out the door.

A bit of walking leads you right to the cafeteria, where you see Lily waving at you from a table, alongside Avery whos sitting across from her.

You wave back and walk up to them. Good job securing the table, Lily, you say as you take a seat next to Avery.

She does a peace sign with her hand. Of course! Now we can properly celebrate our survival through this semester!

Avery nods as she slurps on some ramen noodles.

You blink a few times. I, uh, expected something more extravagant, to be honest.

Lily laughs awkwardly. I totally would throw a party if I could afford it.

Avery finishes the last few strands of her noodles, then wipes her mouth and looks at the both of you with a bit of a somber expression. Hey...um, I just wanted to apologize. To both of you. For all the trouble I caused. She looks to the side. Especially to you, Lily. I didnt know you resented me so much--

Lily interrupts her with a flick to her forehead. Being sad is temporarily on the list! And yeah, I wont say its all okay; your obsession was kinda unhealthy. But, I still love you friendo!

You smile at her. Wasnt all that much trouble to me, honestly.

Avery faintly smiles back at you both without another word.

Lily claps her hands together. Oh! she says as she takes out her phone. Lets take a pic to mark this day!

You look to the side. Uh, I dont really like how I look on camera--

She already got up and got behind you two, leaning forward with the phone framing all three of you. We gotta cherish these moments, Walky! After all--

Flash.

--Thats what friends do, right?



You admire the moving scenery of the city as you sit at the front of Bubs car. Thanks again for the ride, man. How long are you visiting for?

He glances at you for a bit but keeps his eyes on the road for the most part. Probably for a while. Travelling around the countrys cool and all, but you really cant beat home.

You chuckle. You wanna call this shithole home?

He shrugs. Beats Hell.

Fair enough. You look to the back seats. So, what happened with them? you say as you point at Kryden and Phoebe, both passed out. You notice theyre dressed in business suits.

Well, lets just say they had too much to drink. Rough day at work, apparently. He chuckles a bit. But dont worry, Ill drop you off first since your stops closer.

The drive continues on mostly in silence. You take in the scenery and ponder on everything thats happened. The city always seemed small. Even now, it still seems small. Everyone goes about their days without much consideration of whats really around them. That what could be around them might be Angels or Demons or whatever supernatural phenomenon.

But thats none of your business.

Bub pulls up the car to a familiar apartment complex. Here we are.

You look to him and scratch your head a little. Hey Bub. I dont know when Ill be seeing you again, but I had a really fun time being roommates.

He pats you on the back. Hey now, if you think about it, this whole worlds just a giant room. You can still call me a roommate. He holds out his fist.

You smile, then give him a brofist before exiting the car.

He waves at you as he rolls up the window and drives away.

You stretch out a bit, admiring the clear blue skies one last time before walking up to one of the apartment doors and ringing the doorbell.

The door opens to the view of Allie, still in her pajamas.

You grin at her and step inside. Are you sure youre not still a succubus? I can still feel myself being drawn to you.

She blushes a bit as she walks past you. Wow. Smooth.

You laugh. "I'm home," you say as Allie closes the door behind you.

Thanks again to everyone that stuck around. I really enjoyed writing this and couldn't have done this without y'all. If you read it from the beginning to the end it's really incoherent lmao, but it's kinda surprising where it went. No ragrets tho.

Here's the full story once again (same link as above but im relinking it for convenience): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MRvVdjLsBDvx9gVd5WJbo1yEwHB3Skpc-LCeZT6L4kk/edit?usp=sharing

Also the two artworks I did for the climax (They're in 1080p for wallpaper convenience): https://imgur.com/a/fbh4z

I'd love to hear your thoughts overall now that we reached the end! Also I'll probably do another CYOA in the near future, not sure yet. So far for ideas I got "You are a rogue Roomba", "You are Clippy from the old MS Office days", and "You have a stick"
I'm down to hear suggestions for the next CYOA too

Once again, thanks for reading!

Well, I'm glad I read it all the way through.

Was there a particular choice that led us to war or was it possible to just have a slice of life deal No? It seemed pretty normal until like..... the mall-ish when the first angel showed up.

Honestly at first the farthest i was planning to take it was a mostly slice-of-life thing with a bit of drama and action, but it was around the first visit to Hell that i realized that it's more fun to escalate things and blow everything into full blast; feedback seemed positive when the escalation happened too so I wasn't stopping at that point

Also because my influences changed; at first it was a mostly mundane idea inspired by some anime and manga, and in the middle I just finished playing DmC Devil May Cry (the reboot) and Nier Automata, and I was all "oh damn i wanna do some cool shit" so it bled into here lmao.

And finally, I wanted to see if I could make something grander than my previous CYOA (the one about the slimes)

Honestly I didnt have much expectation for this one. When I was writing the ladies, at first I was trying too hard to make their personalities stand out and seem appealing but after a while i just kinda stopped thinking too hard about it and simply winged it, still keeping their personalities in mind when it came to dialogue and actions of course.

That said, i was lowkey expecting Lucy since i saw some support for her in the first topic's choices when it wasnt about bros before hoes.
