9 parts Ongoing MatureEmilio Mario III now living as a college student named EJ begins to uncover a chilling legacy buried in centuries-old silence. Unknown to him, he is the reincarnation of Emilio Mario, a 17th-century writer who chronicled disturbing accounts of human depravity. His most infamous work: a series of manuscripts exploring the embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins.
But these were no ordinary stories. Through obsessive research and arcane rituals, Mario's writings blurred the line between fiction and reality, eventually giving form to something far darker. When he realized that his works had somehow awakened forces beyond his control, Mario attempted to undo the damage burning his manuscripts, vanishing from public life, and dying in obscurity. He believed he had ended the nightmare.
Centuries later, the forgotten books have resurfaced, scattered and damaged but intact enough to begin their work again. And the Sins, ancient entities feeding on human vice, recognize EJ for who he once was. Not just their chronicler but their jailer.
Now, they stalk him. One by one, they torment him in dreams and waking life, triggering hallucinations, paranoia, and violent episodes. People around EJ begin to die under mysterious, grotesque circumstances. The pattern is horrifying: anyone who comes into physical contact with the victims becomes marked plagued by hallucinations, waking nightmares, and eventually hunted themselves.
EJ discovers that the only way to break the cycle is to find what remains of the original manuscripts now fragmented and hidden in strange, seemingly cursed places. Only by collecting and destroying them again, this time using ritual fire and a method lost to time, can he hope to sever his bond with the past and banish the Sins before they consume him and everyone he loves.
