7 sinners.
7 people who regretted nothing they had done.

But Xyla didn't have one.
And she needed to run before they could actually kill her. And Xyla found herself in a castle with 11 people. That just planned on one thing:
Destroying the sinners.
But none of them weren't aware of the forth sinner watching. Greed. Greed wanted to play with them. With Xyla.
So she stole something. And was willing to give it back in exchange of them playing a little game with her. It was simple, she just wanted them to find 7 smiling masks she was going to put around them.
but little did they knew, playing with a sinner was never "simple".
So tell me,
