The Cryopod to Hell Classic is the original version of TCTH, written based on the original writing prompts, expanded into a full series, with 490 chapters of fun adventures. However, it is extremely flawed, with paper thin characters and plotlines that don’t resolve properly. It abruptly ends at the finale of Route C, and was never finished with a proper ending. Classic is best read after Refresh so you can appreciate where the story came from. As its own story, Classic has too many flaws for anyone to recommend reading first.
Lucifer stared at the doorway that led into Mount Sinai. As best as he knew, no demon had ever entered this place. Not because it was necessarily not desired, but because to do so would be to wish death upon themselves. Demons were inherently weaker than angels. Even moreso, when compared with ‘gods’. Demons, even…
"You’ve got some explaining to do." Lucifer started off the conversation on a sour note, but it couldn’t be helped. They were outside now, in a secret, quiet area, where they could speak privately. Satan nodded sagely as he stared at his third in command. This one is dangerous, I can’t shut him up the…
Satan grinned as he walked back into the great hall. Heads immediately turned as his intimidating presence was even more powerful than before, with a sinister dark aura radiating out of his entire body. "Master Satan! Your evilness eclipses all! Nyahaha!" Some imps danced around his feet as he strode forwards. Even the greatest generals…
Lucifer watched from his vantage point half a mile away, in the shadow of a rock, as his master Satan shoved aside some debris, entered a hole and then covered it back up. I wonder what he’s hiding that he takes such great care to not be discovered. Lucifer thought quietly to himself, as he…
Satan stared darkly at the report. His generals indicated various positions of troops and slowly managed to say what was on their mind. We’re being crushed. Satan glared as the generals gave him a stunning number: 60%. That’s how many of the demonic legion’s warrior demons had been slain. In just one month, more than…
I knew it would end up like this. The trial was a farce. Zeus had no intention of letting me speak, he only intended to either shame me into submission, or imprison me to consolidate his power. Now I’m locked here, in an infinite dimension he specifically created to hold me. Naturally, I require no…
Zeus sat atop the Throne of Heaven. Having consumed his father’s colossal hoard of spiritual energy, he now stood at the same height Kronos once had, towering over all other beings. He wondered to himself quietly if this would become a tradition. Should one of his sons or another usurper attempt to take the throne,…
Agares grimaced as he delivered the news, ready for a thrashing from Diablo. It never came. Diablo instead turned and vacantly stared out the window of the conference room. The other dukes, kings, and lords stared down at the table as they pondered this. "Massive battle suits. Why didn’t Umi warn us? Isn’t that what…
"Heh, Tvoorik, isn’t this the best?" I grin as I look over at my bestest buddy. He doesn’t return the smile. "Quiet down. We’re still just guards, you know. We’re just waiting to be minced into pieces by the filthy meatbags." I waved him off. "Oh come on, you’re always such a fuddy-duddy. The humans…
After examining the new weapons and verifying that the Replicator is working, we all go out and have a nice final meal in the Great Hall. This will likely be the last time I see other people for a long time, as I’m going into the labyrinth and don’t intend to come out for a…
