* In ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'', David Talbot reveals he once witnessed a conversation between God and the Devil at a small Parisian cafe. In it, the Devil was begging God to give his job to someone else, as he was really tired of tormenting souls. The book ''Memnoch the Devil'' expands upon this and reveals that the only reason Memnoch (the Devil's true name) is doing the job is to get as many people as possible to get into Heaven (in this 'verse, Hell is more like Purgatory in that one can be transferred to Heaven, once certain conditions are met) by using torture to get souls to forgive God.
* Downplayed in ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians.'' Although Hades isn't going to give up ruling the Underworld any time soon, he's pretty damn bitter about the fact that he's stuck in an underground cave almost all the time, ruling over a bunch of kvetching spirits, with a gateman who always wants a raise. Plus he's not happy about the fact that EverybodyHatesHades.

* While mainstream Christianity doesn't really believe this would happen per se, there are parables told in churches where the devil quits his job and has a garage sale where he sells his tools: [[SevenDeadlySins greed, pride, hate]], doubt, discouragement, etc. There are many different versions of these parables, often where different tools have different prices, so the parables are generally intended to compare how effective those vices are.

According to (some) actual Christian theology, [[{{Satan}} the Devil]] will be stuck in Hell after the Last Judgement, not as a ruler, but as one of the tormented. For now, he is instead the ruler of 'Earth', and may have never even been to Hell. But these matters are always reinterpreted by contemporary culture, with the notion that Satan is in charge of Hell gaining much prominence thanks to ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'' and later ''Literature/ParadiseLost''. Settings in which the Devil is able to just vacate Hell tend to see him as an [[TheAntiGod Anti-God]] of similar stature to {{God}} and opposed to him, so that his leaving upsets the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil.
