Warlock of Sins' Ascendance

In a kingdom desperate for heroes, Subaru Natsuki was named a monster. Branded Archbishop of Pride for sins he never bore, he was bound in cold iron and delivered to nobles hungry for legends carved from another’s suffering. Under their torments, his innocence bled away—yet his will did not break. He fled their dungeons a half-shattered boy, and rose from them a man remade. Thus begins the tale of the Warlock of Sin, whose path winds through shadow and truth alike, and whose every step unveils a sin misunderstood: His Sloth — the sin of retreating into stillness, choosing comfort when growth demanded pain. His Greed — the craving for every scrap of knowledge, every edge, every secret the world refused him. His Wrath — a fire for every injustice, every cruelty, every lie that chained the powerless. His Lust — not for flesh, but for the subtle power to sway hearts, twist fates, and bend destiny. His Gluttony — the endless hunger to surpass himself: for strength, for speed, for magic that could rival the stars. His Pride — the stubborn iron in his soul that refused surrender even when hope itself had died. His Melancholy — a quiet, echoing grief for every scar carved into his spirit. And His Vainglory — the gleam in his shadowed smile, knowing defeat would never claim him. Witness the rise of the Warlock of Sin— neither hero nor villain, but a wounded soul who forged a path from suffering, and a legend from the sins that shaped him. _________________________________________________________________________________ cover image credit: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/85005511711282312/

Re:Zero: The Path of Pride

Ethan Caldwell was a recent high school graduate with no real direction, just a steady loop of video games, sleep, and the occasional guilty study session as he waited for Summer to end, and the College grind to begin. It was supposed to be another lazy, uneventful day. Until the world ended beneath his seat and he found himself falling ass first into a dirty alleyway. Now in a foreign land, Ethan finds himself caught between fate and something far stranger. A mysterious black box marks him, whispers of Authority stir in the shadows, and his very existence catches the eye of knights, cultists, and monsters alike. He had complained of a boring existence, but was this what he wanted? Will Ethan rise above the madness that consumes this world, or will he drown beneath the weight of a pride not entirely his own? ~~~~Author Note!~~~~~ This is my first time writing anything that wasn't meant as a school assignment. I understand that I've made mistakes, and the entire purpose of this fanfic is to help me improve as a writer and for me to have fun. Major inspiration, and slight copy of abilities from: The King of Pride. Just a power. Not the story. OC, minor AU (this is for my fuck-ups and fun), and massively First Person Perspective. I've seen some people say they hate that, so just a heads-up. There's going to be slight romance in this, just cause I'm having fun. I'll try not to overdo it since I lack experience in writing in general, but meh. Also... (#NO-HAREM CLUB) p.s. I stole the image of the cover from Witch Cult Translations. If they want that taken down, I'm more than happy to. Just thought the image looked cool. Source: https://witchculttranslation.com/2019/02/21/arc-5-chapter-56-signing-of-a-divorce/
