Phantom; Blessed by the devil, Cursed by the gods

Lucifer chuckled, hiding his earlier annoyance in a heartbeat.

"You've grown so much" he said. "I'm sorry I haven't come to see you sooner, it's very hard to leave a place you've been confined to for eternity, but I've made sure my demons watched over you, you've become quite the Phantom"

Phantom.

The ghost is here.

"What did you call me?" Sal asked.

"That's right I nearly forgot, you have no idea who you are, much less what you are, and so you consider yourself to be nothing more than what others tell you to be" said Lucifer. "But don't worry, I'm here to change that, I keep my promises Salome, well sometimes that is"
................

Sal was many things. A weirdo yes. A dealer absolutely. A warrior? Definitely not.
But all that changes when the Council of Elders, a combination of gods, angels and demons, asks him to go on a hunt, to find and kill a necromancer whose plans might cause a rip in the fabric of reality.
Sal agrees and though he is powerful he needs the help of five Shaded beings from the Other World to help him.
Little does he know that this one task has the potential to birth many things.
Love leads to loss, loss leads to pain and pain leads to regret.
Will he be able to complete his task?
Will he die before he gets his chance?
What sacrifices would he have to make?
And what did it truly mean to be a Phantom?
