Shortly before Job's death
Job, currently 18, is in an abandoned warehouse near his house, drawing a symbol onto the ground as he looks to the grimoire and back to it, over and over again, wanting to be sure he got this correct... So far it seemed perfectly the same as the image in the book, assuming it was, finishing the circle would summon forth a lord of hell for his...admittedly less than noble purposes.
However, and Job would...never fully realize this happened, Job had in fact, accidentally inverted the symbol as he drew it, mirroring the entirety of the symbol and reversing it... Job is honestly not very good at this whole demon summoning thing if you hadn't picked up on that yet. But the inversion of the symbol wasn't going to make it fail per say, but he certainly wasn't going to get Stolas.
Job finished the summoning circle's last Symbol...and the flashlight he was carrying suddenly Popped as its bulb shattered, trapping him in darkness... Then the symbol itself began giving off a faint, pink glow as black tendrils of smoke billowed out of it. Job coughed, and coughed as it overtook his form, his eyes Watering...or at least he thought they were watering, but has he tried to wipe them free he caught in the glow...red. He was...crying blood?...and then the smoke mixed with itself, the light still obscured...but a Pink set of glowing eyes had appeared in those shadows...
"A-are...are you lord stolas?"
The...thing in the smoke and shadow...or the thing made of that smoke and shadow doesn't respond.
"M-My name is Job, I-I've summoned you f-for a t-task!"
No response. But their was certainly something in the smoking tendrils of shadow...something intelligent...
"I-in Exchange for the d-death of my Stepfather I'm willing to t-trade my s-soul to you..."
Still no response, but the eyes seemed to glow brighter...
"H-hello? Can you hear m-ERGH" As Job tried to talk again, the smoke and tendrils suddenly began to force itself down his throat, his eyes bleeding again... The smoke filled his lungs, he was starting to pass out, but he was moving downwards, sinking into what should be completely solid concrete as the Tendril's pulled him down.
In the next few days, Job would be reported as a missing person. His father's body was found in there house, seemingly having hung himself, and it was assumed that the old drunk had finally done something to Job that even he couldn't feel guiltless for...but his body was never found.
After all, who looks for a body in completely undisturbed concrete that was exactly as it was nearly 50 years ago when it was laid?
Even after the shadows had done their job and he was undoubtedly dead, Job felt as though he was sinking through the earth, going further and further down until...
"WAKE UP, YOU USELESS MAGGOT!" Job was jolted awake from that falling feeling dream...and looked up and saw...some kind of massive, slim almost Peacock like creature standing over him with a rather disapproving look on her face. Job stumbled back...and notices his new less than human appearance as he does, starting to panic until. "Oh Sweet Satan if you start panicking over being in hell I'll make you wish you were slipping into a warehouse's foundation!"
"W-Wait...that was you!?" Job's voice was more panicked than angry. "W-why the hell did you k-kill me? That wasn't par-"
"You didn't seriously expect me to WAIT FOR YOU TO DIE ON YOUR OWN?" The massive demon smashed her fist into
the table directly next to Job, causing the smaller demon to be launched slightly into the air. "ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GO SO FAR AS TO MISTAKE ME FOR MY WORTHLESS EX HUSBAND?!"
"...B-but you can't just...the deal was-"
"IF YOU WANTED TO NOT END UP HERE IMMEDIATELY YOU SHOULD OF STIPULATED THAT IN THE DEAL." She was getting louder and louder. "NO ONE MAKES ME WAIT FOR WHAT I WANT, ESPECIALLY NOT MAGGOTS WHO SUMMON ME TO THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE FOR SOMETHING SO TRIVIAL AS A MURDER!"
"...R-right, I'm...I'm sorry...er...what...what should I call you?"
"I am Stella, the former wife of that USELESS worm Stolas, and you are going to call me "mistress" and nothing else unless I tell you otherwise!" Stella catches her breath and seems to calm herself down a bit...
