[WP] There's a few ways to tell if the creature's following you.

[WP] You're a soldier in the army of a modern monarchy. A prince of the royal family joins the military, and is assigned to your squad.

[WP] Hell is a planet in another solar-system, whose inhabitants visited Earth several millennia ago.

[WP] You've been kicked out of the band. Furious and indignant, you decide to summon a demon and make a deal for incredible musical skill. The Demon agrees to grant your wish, but instead of your soul, in exchange the Demon wants to be in your new band.	672
[WP] You were raised by a single father who never told you a thing about your mom. Even when you tried to look, you could find no trace of her.

[WP] You've always been homeschooled, but your parents decided to send you to a prestigious boarding school to take an entrance exam, which you ace. When you find out only 1 other kid passed (with a 67), you realize this isn't a normal high school, and that you're apparently not a normal student.	606
