Interesting premise for a story:

Act 1: Protagonist sells their soul to the devil for infinite riches, wealth and power.

Act 2: Protagonist uses this power to solve the vast majority of the evils in the world: feeding and housing the poor, removing the corrupt from power, etc.

Act 3: The devil and god fight in 'court' over protagonist's soul, with god arguing that protagonist used the faustian bargain so benevolently that it would be unjust to send them to hell.
