The Sum of Awe
Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
I finished yet another story just the other day and wanted to write another one. I had an idea in mind:
Angels and Demons both exist, and are not for humanity. No, humans are nothing more than food for both species, that's the entire reason humanity was created: a livestock harvest of humans to feed on.
They don't eat the body, only the soul, because it gives them energy, power, satisfies their hunger. They have no other means of getting food, as they are both spiritual species and thus rely on eating things of spiritual nature. In this case, everything spiritual rests in humans, and each human that is born, it is just another soul to feed on for the species.
Angels: Could get by slightly without eating the souls, but only slightly. They are powerful species: can blend in on the hunt for human souls, fly as high as they wish with their white wings. They can reach earth quicker than the demons. They have mystical powers as well, and it grows as they feed.
Demons: Without eating, eventually the demon would become too weak to leave hell, and they lose their ability of getting used to the pain, as well as ultimately lose freewill. They are also powerful. They are very clever, tricky beings, and can fly at great heights with their black wings, the also have many mystical powers that, like angels, grow more powerful with each meal, and finalyl the power of deception. They could never become stealthy so they have their own tactics at hunting, a very reliable way.
Both species are at war over the food and have been since the first demon was created.
Humans are not aware of any of the happenings, but the races of angels and demons tempt you into the slaughter houses of heaven and the slaughter houses of hell. They lure them in with two different strategies; Promising reward in the afterlife (angels), and promising worldly pleasures during life (demons).
Someone said it sounds too much like underworld, and I can see why they'd think that.
