Vanity Smurf

Sulí woke up from chaos without any memories, and without a system on her, simply living through each life cycle indifferently, guided by some mysterious force. Slowly, she realized that in every life, her identity was that of a supporting character with a bad ending... A wife discarded by her husband, The leading student led astray, An ordinary girl taken down by vanity, A childhood friend with toxic tendencies, Romances entangled with embroidered balls, The so-called phoenix men... After countless lifecycles, amassing immense merit and golden radiance, Sulí found out that things were far from being as simple as she thought.

Greed, envy, anger, gluttony, lust, sloth, pride The 'Black Book' records seven sources of sin, which are also seven steps to ascend to godhood Once, I thought there would always be one sin suitable for me But I never expected Every volume of the twelve military letters bears my name!

For centuries, the world has lived under the shelter of the Heavens and the guidance of the only god known to mankind: the Demiurge, sovereign of light, protector of the realms, and ruler of creation. According to scripture, countless ages ago, a great war erupted in the heavens, born of the arrogance of the most perfect angel, who in his vanity dared to challenge the divine order. As punishment, he was cast out along with his followers. It is said that as he fell, he dragged with him a powerful soul that shattered into seven pieces—unleashing an era of chaos, monstrosity, and darkness. This is the story everyone knows. And yet… something doesn’t add up. Far from the grand temples and palaces, in a village long forgotten by civilization, lives a family entrusted with protecting their people from the threats beyond. Among them, a young man with a foolish smile and erratic movements trains daily with sword and magic, hiding his strength behind a mask of clumsiness. No one suspects what truly lies dormant within him. His younger sister, even more innocent, begins to dream of things she shouldn’t know: symbols that do not exist, wars not written in any book, faceless angels, and words that do not belong to her… and yet, they call her by name. Meanwhile, the world turns. The churches preach the glory of the Demiurge. The guilds battle for power. And in the shadows, four riders mounted on omens prepare to move forward. But something in this cycle is about to change. Not because a hero will rise. Not because a prophecy has spoken. But because a girl— a single spark in the heart of the world— will begin to remember what was never meant to be remembered. And when faith is no longer comfort, and order reveals its true price, only the soul will remain— the final frontier between the end… and the truth.

But will he succeed… Can Vikram truly stop these twisted demons—creatures who slaughter humans by making their intestines explode from within, all by simply shoving cursed feathers into their ass ? From the divine mind of Brahma, the god of creation, came not only beauty and order—but also the flaws of existence. One such flaw was born from his back, not his heart or mind—a symbol of neglect. That flaw took form as Adharma, the embodiment of impropriety. Adharma married Mithya, the goddess of falsehood, who twists truth and clouds clarity. From their union came Dambha (Vanity), representing arrogance born from lies, and Maya (Illusion), his sister and future wife, who wraps the world in deception. Dambha and Maya gave birth to Krodha (Anger)—the violent force of pride and frustration. He, too, married his sister, Himsa (Violence)—a being that thrives on pain and destruction. From them was born Kali—not a god, but a force destined to rule the final age due to his bloodline connection to Brahma. Thus began Kali Yuga, an era fated to last 432,000 years—a time where neither gods nor demons are allowed to intervene in the human realm. But one demon rebelled—Rudra. Seeking to overthrow Kali, he unleashed chaos on the human world, shattering the divine balance and leaking celestial power into the mortal realm. As humans unknowingly begin to awaken to these powers, the order of the universe teeters on collapse. To stop this spiral, the gods choose a protector for Earth: Vikram. His destiny is not to conquer, but to restore balance—to walk the line between gods, demons, and mankind… and maintain cosmic order.

As a princess who could not wield magic, Princess Daphne’s only value to her kingdom was her arranged marriage. The task was simple, but when Daphne was kidnapped and brought to the cold mountains of Vramid, she realized that she was in over her head. She had heard of these cursed mountains before― rocky terrain, freezing temperatures, and the land was ruled by a man feared by many within the continent. King Atticus Heinvres, the blood-thirsty ruler of the North. Even though she had never met him before, tales were spread of King Atticus’s ruthlessness. Some said he was a monster, others claimed he was the devil himself, but whatever the story was, everyone knew of the man who had powers beyond anyone’s imagination. He could topple armies and crumble nations with just one wave of his hand, aided by what others rumored to be a cursed obsidian ring. No one outside of Vramid had ever met the fearsome king before. Not until Daphne. However, upon meeting the formidable man, Daphne found out that the king might not really be the monster others had claimed him to be. In fact, what was hidden under that obsidian shield could just be a diamond in the rough. ― [Excerpt] “Now… where should I put you both?” he asked casually, not expecting a reply. “It’s regretful that I only have one chandelier.” “Underneath my bed? No, no, too dirty. My dust bunnies don’t deserve this,” Atticus mused to himself. “The mantlepiece? How about the vanity table? I suppose if I lop off one of your heads I could mount it over… Wife, which head do you want to stare at while you do your hair?” “Atticus!” Daphne screamed. “I don’t want any heads! Let them go.” “Fair enough.” Atticus shrugged, and flicked his fingers. There were two identical cracks as both necks snapped at once. Daphne gasped, horrified. This man, her husband, had just killed two men with a flick of his finger, as though he was snuffing out candles. “I told you to let them go!” Daphne cried out. “Yes, I let them go,” Atticus said. Then, his eyes darkened. “To receive divine judgment from the heavens.” ― Discord Server: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU Spin-off/Prequel: The Hidden King's Stolen Wife (WIP)
