21st Century.
On the surface, the world seems calm. Cities hum with routine. People rise each morning to work, children fill the classrooms, the wealthy enjoy their luxuries, and the poor struggle to endure the grinding pace of life. The streets are full of movement, yet the heart of humanity beats with the same restless rhythm: desire. The world is far from fair, yet one truth binds all of us: we are sinners. Still, churches stand as sanctuaries—quiet refuges where souls seek comfort, solace, and absolution from the burdens of guilt and wrongdoing.
Some believe in Heaven, in gods, angels, and divine light. Others scoff, rejecting the notion outright, claiming the universe is indifferent to human morality. Yet there is one fear almost all share—the existence of Hell. Regardless of our faith, culture, or philosophy, humanity trembles at the thought of eternal damnation. The imagery of fire, punishment, and endless suffering transcends creed and time.
Most of us do not truly care about our sins. We chase wealth, power, ambition, and fleeting pleasures, blind to the weight of our spiritual debts. Yet sin does not vanish. It gathers, festers, like water filling a reservoir hidden beneath our consciousness. And when that reservoir overflows... the world itself is forced to reckon with the consequences of human folly.
Life and death remain constants. Every day, souls depart while new ones are born. Yet no one truly knows where we go after our final breath, nor where we were before our first. Most of us live only for reward, recognition, or satisfaction. Even acts of heroism—throwing oneself into flames to save another—are rarely free from desire: desire to preserve life, to be remembered, to feel the brief, surging pride that follows.
But this does not make humanity inherently evil. It is simply what we are. Instinct and nature guide us in ways we barely understand. Every action, whether virtuous or vile, grows from this same root. Our choices, our morality, and even our rebellion are intertwined, inescapable, undeniable.
And so, in this story, I ask you to wonder: Is God truly watching us, silently judging each thought and deed? Is Hell already walking among us, invisible yet present, marking the guilty for retribution? Perhaps both exist, intertwined with our reality. This is not merely a tale of good and evil—but of sinners, of choices, of punishment, and of the fragile thread upon which all human lives hang.
In the end, the world may appear ordinary, mundane even. But beneath the surface, sin grows, temptation waits, and the unseen forces of the cosmos—divine or infernal—watch quietly. It is within this tension that our story unfolds, where the consequences of action ripple beyond the immediate, and the true nature of humanity is revealed.
