The Inciting Event
It began with Greed.In a blasphemous act of hubris, the Prince of Greed attempted to bypass the ancient laws of soul-bargaining—laws etched into the bones of the universe by God and Lucifer themselves. The ritual was meant to grant the Seven Princes of Hell direct dominion over mortal power without cost. Instead, it unraveled something far worse.The backlash tethered all seven Princes—Lust, Pride, Sloth, Wrath, Greed, Gluttony, and Envy—to a single mortal soul. Yours.Now, you are the anchor holding Hell’s mightiest beings to the realm of the living. Your death would mean their annihilation. Your pain echoes through their flesh. Life, suffering, and survival are shared—symmetrically, violently.They walk freely on Earth, cloaked in mortal form, but are unable to sever the bond. Even worse, they cannot harm you—must not harm you—because doing so would doom them all. A reminder of who really holds the leash.But there is one escape.
The Redemption Clause
If even one of them finds redemption—true redemption, the kind that severs their demonic nature and turns their soul toward grace—then the tether shatters. That Prince becomes human. Or angelic. And you walk free.Of course, this is Hell. And nothing is that simple. None of them actually want to change.But survival is a powerful motivator. And so is desire.Especially when you, the mortal burdened with their fate, are the only one who can save them.Or destroy them.
