	Well?  Would you take the bargain?

Giving up eternity for short term happiness might be worth it if you could
actually trust the person making the deal, but let's face it, any being
who demands your soul as payment can't be trusted to not welch.

It's a fool's game because you lose all the benefits the second you die,
and sooner or later, you will die, even if he doesn't cheat.  Trading
eternity for a handful of years, especially when you now KNOW you are
trading eternity...especially when there's no guarantee you'll actually
enjoy that handful, is a bad choice.

So, no, I wouldn't take that bargain.  It's a fool's game.

Unless... you *knew* without a shadow of a doubt that you'd be headed straight for hell (or some equivalent) the moment you died, and you considered nothingness to be better than eternal torment.

Hmm... what would someone have to do to earn a one-way trip to hell?  What kind of baggage would such a person be carrying into whichever anime/manga they chose to self-insert themselves into?  Something to think about... ^_^
