[General] Has anyone been offered a deal with a demon for their soul and asked what would happen to their soul after death?

Has anyone been offered a deal with a demon for their soul and asked the demon (considering their malicious nature) what would happen to their soul after death and considering the potential consequences (eternal torture etc) why they should bother accepting the deal at all?

Of course.

Here's the thing: they are malicious, yes, but demons have to be honest. Any world in which demons are not honest is a world in which you're screwed anyway - if demons can take your soul while lying to you or otherwise deceiving you, then there's a million ways in which they could underhandedly get your soul. For instance, how do you know you didn't sign a contract for your soul, in invisible ink, the last time you signed anything?

Because demons require informed consent, that's why. Those poor saps born into worlds where demons *don't* require it? They will unknowingly get tricked into signing a contract at some point in their lives anyway. It's inevitable, they're going to Hell and most of them don't even know it or get anything in exchange for it.

You can trust for demons to be on the up and up about the consequences of your deal - in many worlds, they're not nearly as dire as eternal torment. It can, for instance, just be annihilation - that may be worth it to some.

On the other hand, if you can't trust demons, you're doomed to Hell anyway. Demons appreciate people who spare them the effort of trickery - so why not get a nice signing bonus in exchange for sparing them the trouble?
