DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE 7 SINS RITUAL CREEPYPASTA IT BELONGS TO IT'S ORIGINAL ARTS. GO SHOW THEM SOME LOVE AND SUPPORT.
It was a dark and clear night as Alex looks outside from the small window he had in the attic. Seeing his Aunt and Cousin leaving to go to the movies leaving Alex behind, not that he minded being alone it was a great way from them. He gathered his materials and waited until 11:30. As soon as the clock hit 11:30 he started to prepare, he pour the salt in a circle large enough for a person to stand in with relative comfort. He then took a pencil and write a name on the piece of paper and place it in the circle, he took a lighter and lit a candle and hold it in his left hand and his only photo of him and his father in his right. As the clock approaches midnight, he repeats the following phrase.
"I turn from the Lord who would hide the true nature of his creation to one who will reveal to me the truth hidden within the lies. Shuan. To thee I offer a gift of friendship."
He place the object in the circle as his gift in the circle. Then waited until the clock strikes midnight and blow out the candle so that the darkness consumes him. He counted to thirteen quietly and then relight the candle, it according to plan, there was a person standing in the circle in front of him. He didn't worry, they wouldn't dare hurt him for whatever they would do to him would be inflicted ten fold upon them. Yet he won't feel entirely right either. Despite being divinely beautiful, the person will seem to exude an order of pure wrongness as his instincts scream at him to that this thing does not belong on this world. He felt icy cold and unable to move and it should be unable to hear much over the drumming of his own heart. Then the person will introduce themself as by the name he wrote on the paper and that they accept your generous gift and that they wish to repay Alex. Alex politely nod and say that it is not necessary (they love manners) until they say "Oh but I insist." He will feel dizzy and fell asleep only to find himself in a strange maze when he awoke. It was overgrown with roots snaking out across the path and that sense of wrongness felt stronger, hanging over him like a fog.
Now the real test begins. He stayed calm and follow the path until he reach a chamber of sorts. Inside he found a grand feast lay out before him including all of his favourite foods and drinks. People were singing merrily and will insist that he come and join them. No matter how mouthwatering it smells, he don't take a single bite. He knew the moment if he did so, a nagging, aching hunger will fall upon him. No matter how much he would eat and eat, he would never be able to shake the inescapable hunger and shall be stuck in an endless cycle of gluttony until he literally and with unimaginable agony burst under the weight of all that food.
Walking into the next chamber, He discover no people but instead a vast treasure trove. Everything from jewels that would make those of the Queen of England seem like a child's dress up set and gold statues all the way to the latest in advanced technology from the newest fastest car to the latest computer system. He didn't dare think about touching it, it's what he wants you to do. The moment he would deliberately touch anything, even a single penny, he will feel his arm go numb and heavy. With horror he will have just enough to realise what is happening before his body turns to solid gold, another lure for the next greedy soul to enter the room.
He made it into the third chamber unmolested, he felt incredibly wearying for no seemingly apparent reason. He needed to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible. No matter how comfy it would feel to simply close his eyes for a second, it is the worst thing he can do. He will feel like his muscles weigh like a ton and may even hear soft, gentle lullabies on the wind. But to fall asleep here would be never wake again from our dreamless sleep. Don't get me wrong, he would not be dead but neither would he truly be alive. He would be falling endlessly in a black void until the end of time and the heavens fall.
The fourth room will be almost bare bar from a few people. The moment he enter, they started snickering and jeering at him. They will do the things that he personally find insufferable. They poke him with sharp objects, call him names and told him how worthless they think his is. Alex started to feel his anger bubble but shook it off and block them out and walk on for those that subcumb to their anger will be forever locked in that moment of inflamed emotion, unable to feel anything but raw hatred until you are little more than a savage beast with instincts to rip and tear.
No sooner than have he entered the fifth area than will he was confronted with a vast crowd of adoring fans all screaming his name. People revel in his every movement and begging that him tell them of how he escaped the previous rooms. Nations will practically bow to him and armies will march at but his slightest command. Anything he create, no matter how badly made or written, will be an instant sensation and people will feel compelled to give him stuff. As easy as it is to fall into a false sense of security, he decided move on as soon as possible. Not only was he not use to popularity also he longer one stays, the more they will begun to suspect that not everything is as it seems. They will see a knife under every cloak and an assassin in every shadow until their once great pride has reduced them to nought but a shivering wreck of paranoia and madness.
The next room resemble an ornate bed chamber with the smell of perfume heavy in the air. Lying on a bed will be several of the most physically beautiful and alluring people he has have ever seen. How they look varies greatly on whatever most attracts him. Different people have described anything from long legged women with enormous breasts and flowing hair to men with perfect six packs and rippling muscles. In sultry voices, they asked him to come to the bed for an evening of ahem "romance" while they groped his body, trying to find a way to remove his clothing. He politely decline as he was asexual and didn't want to provoke them. If he give in to his lust or indeed give any such sign, they would keep him there for eternity as a play this for which they will perform all kinds of perverted tortures that even the most filthy human mind would find horrifying to behold. The longer one stays, the more they will begun to suspect that not everything is as it seems.
Finally he will found himself in an an empty room. Standing in front of him was the figure from before although the sense of wrongness should feel greater. They stood before two doors with a smile unnaturally wide. They congratulated him and ask him which gift he wish to receive. The first will be through the door on the left. This will send him back to a time when before he committed the ritual. He would have no knowledge of what transpired and would be promised a life of blissful ignorance so much so that no one will be able to hurt him. Alex found it so tempting but he knew better, that's what he wants you to, he is counting on Alex's envy of the possible gift of bliss. Is he chosen that door and he will have blissful ignorance for he shall no longer have any soul or intelligence, reduced to little more than a husk.
It did sound all that bad to be honest Alex thought.
He walked through the door on the right, he woke up in his empty room and yet he still feel strange from that day forth. He could now able to smell a lie before it is even spoken and will be able to tell a person's goals at but a glance. However this is also a curse for never again will be able to look at his loved ones in the same way, for fear of discovering their true nature. There's a reason some people choose to be pariahs on the edges of social groups. He paid attention, he would now see us for what we have been through and know fear. Because for us who have experienced true evil, nothing is hidden.
