Beneath the Mask

I have a pair of eyes that can see through lies. So I know better than anyone that this world itself is the greatest lie of all. The Lord of the Planes secretly devours everyone’s souls, and no one knows. The powerful sense something is wrong, but don’t even dare to resist. The Seven Deadly Sins judge the world in the name of sin, driving people’s desire, anger, and jealousy to the point of self-destruction. Fanatical believers strive to reach the gods, trampling people’s selflessness, kindness, and very will to survive into dust. I live behind a mask. They call me hypocritical, heartless, and unscrupulous. Perhaps I am. But if I wear enough masks, surely one of them can fool a god.
