[quote=Samuel Johnson][b]"Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged."[/b][/quote]
[i]The wrath that drowned their heart with vengeance
The souls that fell into the inferno of darkness
Trapped in the eternal cycle of a never-ending punishment
To repent for their sins…[/i][/center]

[center][h3]OVERVIEW[/h3][/center]

For millennia, we watched how humanity bathed our home planet with not just sweat and tears, but also blood that sprung from the seven deadly sins we drowned ourselves in:

Of [b]pride[/b], the tyrannic rulers across the many civilizations;
Of [b]envy[/b], those who yearned for the power they could never attain;
Of [b]greed[/b], the cunning merchants who traveled across the desert and sea;
Of [b]lust[/b], the emotionally deprived souls of the red light district;
Of [b]gluttony[/b], the rich who showered themselves with irresistible luxury;
Of [b]sloth[/b], those who were left behind to rot in despair;
And finally, of [b]wrath[/b], when justice failed to smile for them.

What could have gone wrong? We were once born pure, full of hope and looked up to the sky; but as the poison of time seeped into our veins, to our heart, we began to look down to the ground, tempted by desires we shouldn't have touched, sinking into the pits of our own crime... Before long, people stopped sharing happiness with others; they started to feed spite into their partners, to drag them down to hell together.

The harder they love, the stronger the hatred when betrayal befalls.

A group of extraterrestrial bandits took advantage of humanity's weakness, toying with our pain and watching how we gave in to our stupidity, killing each other to quench their boredom with our race. And now, they were laughing at us from the shadows, biding their time for the day when this facade crumbled away, plunging the world into a holocaust once more.

The seed of darkness had already been sowed. This time, it would all begin with four unsuspecting teenagers, who would eventually come to realize the devastating consequence of their whimsical choices...

And [b]Lust[/b],
of emotional obsession;

To [b]Gluttony[/b],

[indent]An alien race from an unknown faraway planet, the Rias have the ability to manipulate and absorb emotions of other beings to survive; some of them may choose to use this power to trade for personal entertainment: in return for lending a portion of their power to their prey, they watch the unsuspecting, greedy soul being driven to insanity before they are completely devoured by their own darkness.[/indent]
