Is there an underworld in the afterlife?
Growing up being taught the Bible, I was always told that bad people go to hell when they die. As I've explored my spirituality a little more, it's hard to fathom being in a horrid place for all of eternity. I've learned that people who've committed wrongs have yet to learn their lesson and reincarnate until they've learned it. I also know that there are demons and I believe that Satan is real, but is it possible for some people's souls to be punished forever?

No I don't believe souls get to be punished forever. That would not make any sense.
I believe every soul has to learn even though they did terrible things in life. So you just get reborn again and again.
I don't believe in Satan, demons or an underworld.

There are lower realms in the spirit world, for everything must find its mark.
But no 'eternal damnation'. That was an invention of Orthodoxy.
Ultimately all souls will be redeemed, by themselves. By the Love and Grace of God in giving us 'second chances'.
That is where free will comes into it. Free will under Law i.e. sowing and reaping. That is to say, not reward or punishment as such, but consequence.

God does not doom. There is no eternal hell.
There are dark spheres, though. As there are ascending spheres of light, there are also descending spheres of darkness. In between there is a twilight zone.
People determine by there actions in life where they will go in the spiritual world. The inner feeling of people determines where they will go. Essentially you create your own sphere in the afterlife.
If your actions are meant to help and to serve others, if you act out of love, you attune yourself to a sphere of light.
If your actions are meant evil you attune yourself to a sphere of darkness.
People never stay forever in a sphere of darkness.
God loves us unconditionally and God will see to it that every soul will return to Him consciously. So God will take every measure necessary to assure that that will happen.
But people do have to accept the consequences of their deeds. Otherwise they would not learn.

In terms of life in the spirit world, a lifetime feels like a very short period of time. It is not such a big thing over there. We are not punished for anything.
The worst cases go through a period of rehabilitation but for most people life becomes just a memory.

3D is the real hell and full of illusions.

I like reading your opinions. Learning more about the spiritual realm has given me comfort that I won't slip up and accidently end up being punished forever.

That would be such a dreadful mistake, wouldn't it?
A lot of good books have been published about spirituality in the last 150 or 200 years or so. The conscious of people has progressed a lot since the bible was published. People are ready for more updated knowledge about the afterlife, why we are here, who you really are, and so many other questions.
You just have to find the right books to get you on track.
You're not gonna be punished forever. You are not even the type for that. Are you?

I'm curious about what kind of books that you're talking about. What would you recommend?
And I may be devilish sometimes, but only because I'm a prankster!

There could be an umbral (as seen in Nosso Lar). Where you go to first. It is a bit like the moors near Mordor.
If you already know about the afterlife, this knowledge will put you in good stead, and you can navigate your way out to the higher realms.
