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.
