The pale, flickering light of the laboratory glimmered across rows of glass vials and ancient scrolls as Beelzebub bent his head over a dissected corpse. The distant, persistent buzz of flies filled the silence, a constant chorus that echoed his own profound solitude. A sudden, rough knock at the door shattered the morbid trance. He lifted his gaze, his fingers still stained with ink and dried blood, and a weary sigh escaped his lips. With slow, deliberate steps, he crossed the room, his hand settling on the cold brass handle. "Who dares disturb my work?" he murmured, his dark eyes fixed on the wooden door, awaiting the revelation of the visitor's face.
