I'm just saying that we have 8+ billion people on this globe.
Uhm... Are you saying that sacrificing innocent people is too easy a trade? Perhaps I should specify that you would be held responsible for those deaths, and it would be known that you were the cause.
My own life, of course. It's not like I am useful. Imagine trading a worthless thing for a talented surgeon or a rescue worker. It's a win-win! Also, if I am sacrificing my life, I can leave proper inheritance for my family, so it is even better.
It's probably the fairest and most ethical choice in such a trade, considering you aren't involving anyone else but yourself. However, don’t be so hard on yourself. While I agree that some lives hold greater value, I know from my own experience that for loved ones and those close to us, our absence would cause immense pain.
No one, there is always a thing, better to just ignore and move on with your life.
That's fair. These demonic pacts always come with unimaginable consequences, and perhaps if things happen a certain way, it's because they are meant to. Going against the laws of nature is a grave sin that, in some way, will have to be accounted for.
Can I sacrifice every Indian on earth to revive the Imperial Japanese Navy?
You just need to negotiate with the demon and see if they're available. The rate remains the same: for every sailor, it's 666,666 innocent lives. As for the ships, I’m not sure. We’d need to check the iron-to-lives exchange rate on the Hell Stock Exchange.
It's hard to answer because there is no people I would like to bring back. Which means I have to get in character, and think of it from a perspective of a character. But if I do so, I feel like using my knowledge is cheating. These; Your own life, Another loved one, 666,666 innocent people, The lineage of you and your family, Your best friends, are all wrong choices. I understand they will bring as much pain to the one I'm trying to bring back and it will turn into a circle or ruin relationship. But I say this since I don't want to bring anyone back. As a character I don't know what I would do.
I like your response, and your point of view makes sense, especially since the pact is designed to make the choice extremely difficult because the sacrifice comes at an unbearable cost. At the same time, I’m curious to see what people would choose if they were given this option. In today’s society, we tend not to place much value on lives outside our immediate circle, but would we still be willing to sacrifice so many lives? I imagine that each person would have a different answer and assign value to different things.
My virginity.
I don't care about reviving someone, just take my virginity...
Just for you, my friend, a succubus will come to offer you the pact. Good luck with the negotiations!
