Zenk, two primary mistakes here:

a) Naming the fic "The Bet" might cause people who just glance at
the subject to associate it with... The Bet, which could certainly
lose you a few readers. Normally me, for example. -.- 

b) Worrying to much about mythology, or so it seems. This also
happens to be one of my pet peeves with OMG fics. No, there is no
single Devil-entity in the Aesir mythology - and there's no singular
*the* Kami-sama either, yet there *is* one in OMG. Fujishima-sensei
doesn't refer to the Earth as Midgard (AFAIK - someone with more
knowledge of OMG might correct me on this). The Earth will do just
fine, since that is (I think) what the goddesses et al in OMG call it.
Perhaps "down here" or "the mortal world" or something like that.
	However there is a japanese equivalent.  Akuma.

Beyond that, this is hardly enough to judge a fic by, but so far,
it seems interesting, and makes at least me wonder what more
specifically is up. Do continue.


(another pet peeve is the A in AMG - if you're bitching about the
A->O change, why aren't you insisting that it should be just
"Aa! Goddess!"? :-P)
