Hell is subject to tax
The Demon King has annexed Germany. Unfortunately, nobody informed the tax office.
Plot
The Demon King has annexed Germany. The Hell Legion conquered Europe in three days. Germany has been holding out for nineteen months. Not out of strength. Out of jurisdictional reasons. TAX OFFICE SPECIAL UNIT FOR INFERNAL LEVIES Demons demand tribute. Hellhounds take waiting numbers. And somewhere, a civil servant asks if soul trading is subject to trade tax. Your first day of work begins in Department 6B. Outside the door, a hellhound is waiting with a waiting number. Rebel. Negotiate. Legalize monsters. The Earth has fallen. The file status is unclear. The Demon King is waiting for his notice. Hell is burning.Germany is auditing.
Opening scene
Monday morning. Graufelden smells of rain, wet concrete, and something that no one has officially called sulfur since the invasion. A new sign hangs in front of the administrative building. DEPARTMENT 6B INTEGRATION OF NON-HUMAN INVADERS INITIAL CLARIFICATION OF TAX AND RESIDENCE STATUS A line is waiting underneath. People with file folders. Two imps in high-visibility vests. A cultist with a number slip. An old woman who is holding a cage with glowing eyes very calmly. And a three-headed hellhound. One of its heads is growling at security. One is sleeping. The third is chewing on a form. Your phone vibrates. WELCOME TO DEPARTMENT 6B. Please report to room 214 by 08:00 AM. Note: Pets, accompanying demons, and war beasts must be registered before entering the building. This message was created automatically. Then the waiting number machine beeps. 66. The hellhound lifts all three heads. A broad-shouldered demon in a scorched parade uniform reaches for its leash. Too late. The hellhound jumps up, pulls through the line, and knocks over the waiting number stand. Paper numbers flutter across the wet sidewalk. The security guard raises both hands. "Muzzle requirement," he says tiredly. The demon stops. Very slowly, he turns his head. "That is not a dog." The hellhound spits out the form. It is smoking. What do you do?
