Heya! It's been a while since I last posted something fun, but I figured I'd wanna try getting a piece from Muka288, since they were open for a lineart piece. So, I decided on Silas being back in the spotlight, and this one's based on a fun RP idea that I had a while ago, and that's why I wrote up a story for this submission. Plus, I coloured it, so enjoy~

Word spreads pretty quickly amongst groups. Thanks to the internet, many things exist. If there's something that you think should exist, the internet has that covered with a website for anything. Even delivery services are available, and one in particular seemed to be quite special in of itself. It was a site where a few simple clicks can get you almost anything; there are even products that seem to be impossible for other websites to offer, even on the black market. And yet, it's supposedly all done by one person who would be responsible for server operations, product handling, customer support, etc. That would seem almost impossible to do alone...

At least, that was the idea. Turns out, it wasn't that a human running it, but a demon. The site in particular? "Devilish Mart" is the name of this online shopping site.

And Silas has been loving it. After hearing the success from his friend, Dev (who is a gluttony imp that runs his own seasonal vore site, The Imp's Gut), he knew that setting up his delivery site was one way to let those humans start to tap into the potential of hellish items. See, his site offered not only just the regular items available, but for some items, that required some alternative payment options. One in particular that he offered is "Demonic 24k hellash", and that alone could cost a fortune to get directly from the source, but his site offers it via the payment of instalments, which had due dates like loans. The price of overdue payments that hadn't been paid for might cost someone their life, literally. And as Silas would say, it's either "pay up or ate up".

Today was definitely one of those days, as Silas was also pretty much the complaints department to deal with anyone who hasn't paid their dues. He gets out his phone, all fully charged up, and takes a look at the list of overdue people scheduled to be eaten or stomped. And he found one that's pretty much nearby. So, he went ahead to put on his orange robes, and heading outside, spreads his wings, and lifts off with an updraft, towards the location. With his experience of dealing with mortals, he figured it'll be pretty easy...

In only a few minutes, Silas arrived at the location, which was a house. And this was where a human resided. Knocking on the door, the human opened the door, surprised to see Silas at his doorstep.

"Hey there~ I believe that you're overdue on your payment of that order you made before. Where is it?"
"I..i don't have it yet...!"
"Come on. You know the payment is due, and you said to me beforehand that you have it ready. Where is it?"
"I-i spent it all!"
Silas sighed, knowing that this guy won't be of much use anymore to even bother.
