The System, The Outside World

Ready for the process to begin Lust picked up a square flask made out of a pink material, carefully he unscrewed the lid as the rest of the sins watched anxiously. With shaky hands he poured the contents onto the white flame, the liquid inside was pure white nearly exactly like milk but a water like texture.

As liquid landed onto the flame instead of extinguishing it like normal, it seemed to combine within it calmly. Making anxious faces relax, until unexpectedly the fire started to pulsate madly and shine intensely for around 10 seconds before a white fire beam shot into the sky, when reaching about 100 meters of height it stopped and suddenly combusted.

The combusting white flame quickly started to envelop the entire area until only a white light could be perceived, after a few minutes the white light started to dissipate and colour returned to the sins eyes. All the architecture surrounding them looked identical, but within their eyes a long white screen appeared before them. The system.

Innate skills: Godly sin absorbing vortex

Created Skills:

To break the seal heaven had bound upon them they could do 2 things, commit sins themselves or collect the sins of others, committing sins of their own accord was more effective as its effects were multiplied. Absorbing others sins mostly relied more on quantity meaning with enough people this technique would be more effective, with these gathered and committed sins they can then attack the seal from the outside, its only weakness.

Godly sin absorbing vortex:

Description: wildly gathers all sins from your current galaxy at an extremely fast rate. Energy Required per second: 80,000

After simple experimentation they figured out that they could make the screen disappear and reappear at will, thankful that it wasn't stuck in their line of sight for the rest of time.

Another long debate occurred, Greed got the luxury of being able to control Crimson, after using his powers to control the body, he walked towards the runes aligned in a circle.

Greed placed his hands onto the runes that started to glow brightly. His body under the influence of the glowing runes finally started to ascend into the air, beginning to finally escaping the 7 walls they'd been encased in since their arrival.

The ceiling once again became transparent as he hovered through, when his eyes beheld the view of a 2 long corridors extending a miles distance, its creator truly emphasising the castles square shape. Then began a 30 minute exploration mission of the castles contents.

Boasting incredible amounts of bedchambers, solars, kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, larders, cabinets, icehouses, guard rooms as well as 7 great halls, 4 gate houses, 3 large cellars and 3 treasuries also filled with gold and jewellery that was quickly gathered by Greed and more.

Greed ended up having to switch with Gluttony after his incessant begging to indulge himself. It was one of the only things he loved to do.

Each one of them carried extreme powers before being sealed away, and that only grows after more sins are being committed, in fact because of the numerous evil deeds of others, after heavens sealing all the sins of the past and present were stored and hidden behind the seal. If it were to be lifted now, tremendous power that completely dominated their previous selves would be in the midst of their hands.

Becoming a conscious from the sins that birthed them, each of them had to stick to strict morals without question. Wrath must kill, Greed must steal, Pride must look down on others always, Gluttony must live with indulgence and treat the poor like ants, Lust must seduce and have sexual encounters with others he found interest in, Laziness must do as little work as possible and Envy must be hostile to those it was jealous of. It was an undeniable law to them and their pure instinct.

Eventually, Gluttony arrived outside of the castle after drooling at its features for an hour, for such a large castle their was no garden at all, in fact one could not even see the earth from within the walls as it was still covered in that black material with runes engraved onto it.

Finally, Gluttony arrived at the southern gate house. After arriving in front of it he placed his hand onto the closed gate, the runic marks glowed a light orange and the gate lifted just enough for Gluttony to pass through then closed fast. Leaving the towering walls behind him Gluttony looked at the world around him, the grass, trees, bright sun and plants were all seen before him.

"disgusting" whispered Gluttony, comparing this sight to the magnificence of the castle, Gluttony couldn't take it and told someone else to take control sticking to his morals of only willing to live the life of indulgence.

Just as Wrath was about to speak, Lust interrupted

"no, you'll kill everyone you meet Wrath"

Wrath grunted as Lust ended up taking control.

Lust then faced the castle walls and held his hands against them, bright pink runes started to appear at a moderate pace appearing around the entirety of the walls, when all the walls were enshrouded in pink, another dome shaped pink barrier started to form enclosing the walls and castle inside it, except this one wasn't translucent.

This barrier was an illusion, all beings other than Crimson were unable to see this barrier and to them it just looked like nothing was there, only those who had a certain level of power would be able to recognise the illusion.

Visible sweat could be seen on Lust's face, that move had required a lot of energy, only gluttony could do something like that without getting tired he was able to save energy better, but illusion techniques weren't in his skill set.

The fact was, the magical powers the sins could use right now were only those of runes, they needed more of their powers locked behind the seal if they wanted to physically manifest them, obviously there were exceptions like half-planes.

After a minute of rest to catch his breath, Lust began walking in a random direction hoping to find something or someone.

His current destination was that of a forest, Lust continued to admire the thick trees carrying lush leaves with the decorative ivy hanging from their trunks, weeds and plants spread across the ground, it was at this moment Lust noticed the footprints on the muddy floor.

He started to trace them, around 5 minutes of tracing later he heard muffled voices in the distance, continuing to travel closer the voices became more clear.

(Author's note: In this medieval age people spoke in old English, but I'm going to modernise the language, and in the future I might change a few traditions here and there to help the story slightly, but nothing major. On the other hand historical events will carry many changes.)

"where to next Walter" A young man draped in leather clothing asked a middle aged man

"if we head deeper into the forest we can find those sneaky deer's" The man named Walter replied back

They were currently cooking a rabbit over a fire unaware of the disaster about to befall them, Lust had already switched with Wrath as they were in a secluded area, and no one would know who caused the downfall of the 2 unlucky fellows.

Wrath started slowly walking out from within the forest, to which the middle aged man suddenly shouted.

"who's there"

At this point Wrath was in clear view of them both but still continued to walk towards them slowly.

The 2 humans felt less anxious when they saw it was another human dressed in fine clothes, in this day and age such clothing could only be afforded by nobles, little did they know these clothes came from Greed's many luxurious items, Wrath soon arrived in front of them both asking.

"Can one of you guide me to where the prey is" in an eerie voice

The middle aged man replied "t-the deer's are deeper inside the forest if that's what your asking, but surely you don...". Before he could finish his sentence, a hand latched round his neck.

"WRONG, the prey is you" Wrath uttered in a menacing voice as his grip started to tighten.

The young adult next to him shouted "HEY, what the hell are you doing"

He threw his fist out at Wrath, which was simply dodged, in return a kick came flying out back at him landing on his chest sending him straight to the ground, meanwhile the middle aged man currently lifted in the air drew a sword from his waist, in a last desperate attempt to swing at his attacker that had nearly crushed his neck.

The plan didn't go to well though, and as he swung, another hand came out and grabbed his wrist, Wrath's hand completely changed the trajectory of the sword in an instant with swift speeds, it ended up in his chest plunged right through his heart. Wrath then dropped the middle aged man dead on the ground.

The young adult had evident fear on his face, as soon as he got up he sprinted away as fast as he could, unfortunately for him it was all for naught, drawing the sword from the corpse Wrath swung it at fast speeds, catching up with the young man instantly before piercing straight through his head and continued before lodging into a tree.

Looking at the 2 fresh corpses laying on the ground, Wrath whispered to himself.

"that was easy"
