The Game of Atonement

[Everyone Is a "Sinner"] [Independent Worldbuilding] [Interwoven Stories] [Dark]

In this unique world, where gods exist, large numbers of people are summoned by the gods every year and become "Chosen Ones." Before a million words, they awaken abilities tied to their lives before death, known as [Divine Paths].

Some use their abilities to advance further, becoming demigods, gods, or even high gods; others maintain order in the mortal world.

Yet some Chosen Ones become sinners. They slaughter the innocent, bring about disasters, and spare not even their own friends and family.

These sinners are imprisoned in the Black Prison. Their only chance at redemption is to take part in an experiment called the "Game of Atonement."

If they pass, they can cleanse their sins, break free of their shackles, and regain their freedom beneath the sun.

After this game...

We will no longer be ourselves.
