Seven Days In Purgatory: Prologue – The Beginning-begin-
What do you do when you've escaped damnation, eternal suffering and pain, and the horrors of the levels of Hell?
Where do you go to repent and confess, to wash away the petty sins of a unclean existence?
Purgatory… from the word purgare, Latin meaning 'to make clean, purify.' Quite fitting for a sorrowful place, where you hope that you will cleanse yourself before Judgment Day and will be able to enter Heaven's Gates.
Purgatory – a religious lie.
The true Purgatory lies not on another plane, but on this desecrate land, this unholy world. Tell me, what do the beings do, when they are supposed to be praying for Salvation? They dig their own grave in Hell.
I have seen this happen, and I have seen great men fall because of it.
I have consecrated myself to be the sacrifice that the Heavens will use to bring about the Judgment.
You never hurt the ones you love, and I – Anzu Mazaki – love no one.
Let the games begin.

The religious aspect of this was not made to offend anyone, so please do not take it that way. It is simply the most effective way of conveying the story to you. If you like, please review.
