Prologue: Pithos Opened

Loud slams could be heard echoing from the North City. Within, limb-twisted corpses scattered the streets, while on a higher altitude atop a parking lot, pavement crackled beneath a raging beast's steps.

Beep!

Phase 3 for the Metatron Tournament had just been initiated moments before, with only 25 contenders remaining. The task provided for all was to eliminate a single individual; Reed Regardius. For who was previously known as Abel, was now overtaken and gone in his mind. A wrathful soul was in control, and he chose to unleash his anger on all that stood in his way.

"Reflection!" The prideful one's attained ability of Deception was unknowingly reflected back his way. It wiped him out unconscious, swimming in a delusion of his own. The individual of greed saw that the beast approached, so he was now in an attempt to drag his comrade out of danger's way.

Just a few meters away from this destruction that unfolded, a particular device was left abandoned on the ground, presumably belonging to the Sin of Wrath. On its screen, a singular message and a familiar acronym could be read.

{ Survive.
