Story of the devil's deal with a man to have riches and status
I’m looking to remember the story of a man who summoned the devil to have riches fame and status for a certain amount of years, I believe 25. He enjoyed his deal, he even jumped planets, saw kingdoms, and had all the pleasures in the world. When his time came the devil collected his soul and one of servants came and saw his room ripped to shreds with blood on the walls. I’m trying to figure out what story this is from.

I've edited to clear this up a bit, you had written "servals" and I assume you meant "servants", however, if this isn't correct please edit to update. Also can you take a look at this guide and see if there is anything else you can edit into the post? For example, when did you read/see this? Was it a novel, short story, movie, TV episode etc?

The description is roughly a retelling of Faust, but there have been many adaptions of this story. The thing that most sticks out as unique in your question is the space travel aspect, can you provide any more details on this?

This story sounds like it is a modern retake on the fairy tale 'Jack-o-lantern', maybe if you look up modern fiction relating to the fairy tale you may find it?
