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.
I don’t know why I didn’t stop them. It would have been easy. A single movement would have saved their lives. Perhaps I wanted, deep down in my heart, to see if it was true. Amelia wasn’t a monster… they had to be lying. Yes, she had a demonic aura around her, and she had…
"Were you looking for me? I’m right here!!" Amelia, as always, was amazingly cheerful and happy. Her garment was stained with dried blood. Probably from her victims. I sensed many patterns of what was likely DNA or residual spiritual energy, so it was likely this was the blood of many victims. Amelia, perhaps sensing my…
We searched. For days, we wandered the lands. Plants still existed. Trees were here, as were grass and flowers. But there were no animals, humans, bugs, anything else. And without animals and bugs, these trees and flowers and grass plots were living in their last days. The food cycle would quickly come to an end….
I shifted my weight as we walked. I don’t carry much anymore, not in the way of provisions anyways. I can summon anything with a simple word. Fire, tomato, water… I can make all the food I want and I no longer have to eat that goddamned infernal chicken anymore. Glancing down at my waist,…
"Beelzebub was defeated." President Ose said flatly. She adjusted her glasses as she looked at the paper in her hands. "Umi confirmed it." Bael stared unemotionally at her. "So what? I never liked him anyways. He was a weakling who thought he could gain power with words and political favors. He was a worm." Bael…
" Scientia potentia est." I said as I watched the life drain from Beelzebub’s face and his body slump to the ground. "Knowledge is power." A famous man once said those famous three words, and he was correct. Perhaps not in the way that he had meant. For me, a strong vocabulary is my deadliest…
What the hell am I watching. I can’t follow this with my eyes. I can barely follow it at all. Beelzebub was the first to move. At a speed so fast I almost missed it, he appeared behind the traveler, he stabbed his hand forwards into the traveler’s heart. The traveler instantly died. In fact,…
"It’s…him…" Peter spoke weakly, his entire body trembling as he indicated the demon approaching us. "H-h-he killed General Roland…. w-with a single…" Peter suddenly turned and stumbled away weakly, vomiting on the ground behind himself as his terror overtook him. I’d never seen Peter like this before. He was on the precipice of going mad…
Humans. They’re weak, pathetic, petty, fragile beings. They fight amongst themselves over anything, they’re worse than starving dogs fighting over a bone. They’ll do anything to hurt one another. Some humans can demonstrate a great amount of compassion. Sometimes you can even make humans appear respectable and make them follow a hierarchy. But it’s always…
It’s been a good day. I was able to kill seven filthy insects, I’m now hunting down the eighth one, and everything is going very well. Exactly according to my plans. I inspected my Rolex. It was 12 o’clock on the dot, exactly as I’d planned. My plans never failed. I may be ‘just’ a…
