Light was just a name. Ordinary. Forgettable. A fading ember in a world that never noticed him. On the brink of his final high school exams, Light was already slipping through the cracks of life. No matter how hard he tried, knowledge never stayed. Every morning, it was as if his mind locked itself away, mocking him with blank pages where answers should be. He wasn’t dumb. He wasn’t lazy. He just didn’t know why everything kept falling apart. He failed. Again. What followed was a slow descent into silence. Once praised for his calm presence and sharp common sense, Light became a quiet shadow of his former self—avoided, pitied, or worse, forgotten. Failure clung to him like a curse. His dreams, his efforts, his love—everything turned to dust. Until one night, walking alone under a starless sky, he met them—seven strangers cloaked in mystery, power, and temptation. They weren’t human. Not anymore. They called themselves the Original Sins—Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth. And they offered him a choice. One gift. One sin. A legacy no mortal had ever survived unchanged. But Light did something no one expected. He chose them all. Through a forgotten divine loophole known only as the Karma Point, Light becomes the first and only being in existence to wield the power of all Seven Deadly Sin Artifacts. A golden wallet that births endless wealth. A watch that freezes time. Spectacles that see into hearts and minds. A ring that unlocks infinite intellect. A flask that erases hunger, weakness, and disease. A gun that kills without fail—and steals time itself. A locket that commands love and desire. One by one, each artifact bends the world to his will. But power has a price. As Light rises, the world begins to shift. Factions take notice. Secret organizations stir. Ancient forces awaken. And the sins within the artifacts begin to whisper. Will Light remain who he once was—or become something far more terrifying than any demon? In a story where failure births destiny and sin becomes salvation, follow the journey of a forgotten boy destined to become the most feared, desired, and unstoppable being in the world. Because Light isn’t just surviving anymore. He’s rewriting the rules of reality.

Angelina Johnson has always known the value of hard work. Raised in a modest home by a father who poured everything into keeping his small business alive, she learned early on to stand on her own. But while he hoped she’d take over someday, Angelina had dreams that reached beyond their quiet life. Landing a job at Aurum Scents felt like a step in the right direction. The role wasn’t glamorous, but it came with stability, promise—and Carter Hayes. Her boss. Polished, kind, and effortlessly magnetic, he was everything she admired from afar. It started as a harmless crush, something she shared only with her best friend. A small secret that kept her heart occupied and her focus sharp. But life has a strange way of testing what you think you know. When Daniel Viggo enters her world, everything shifts. He’s nothing like Carter. In fact, he’s nothing like anyone she’s ever met. Cold, unreadable, and intimidating in every possible way, Daniel is the kind of man people talk about in hushed tones. He’s powerful, unapproachable—and for some reason, impossibly drawn to her. Wherever she turns, he’s there. Watching. Pushing. Unsettling everything she thought she had under control. As tensions rise and lines blur, Angelina finds herself caught between two forces she can’t escape. One feels like safety. The other feels like chaos. But the deeper she’s pulled in, the harder it becomes to tell the difference. Some choices are easy. Others change everything. And sometimes, the person you should stay away from is the one you can’t stop thinking about.

After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life--- the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother. She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her "big brother" this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though. But a blessing in disguise happened when her twin brother got "sick." Because of that, she has to pretend as the "Crown Prince," forcing her father to treat her well. She thought she was finally on the road to becoming a lady of leisure. But, despite her laziness, she still ends up completing royal duties that put her closer to the throne than her sick twin brother. The next thing she knew, they already prophesied her to be the first empress of their very patriarchal empire. Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in! *** [EXCERPT 1] “Neoma de Moonasterio, the first princess of Moonasterion Empire. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero’s proxy.” [The hell is this psycho saying?] Neoma, despite her confusion, still smiled at her father--- the emperor. “Father, what do you mean by that?” “From now on, assassins sent by my enemies would target Nero,” the emperor explained. “Until he’s strong enough to protect himself, you’ll pose as your twin brother.” Her smile froze, but she still acted innocent. “But Father. If I take my brother’s position, then wouldn’t the assassins mistake me for him and…” She stopped talking when she realized that was exactly what the emperor wanted her to do. [This sc*mbag wants me to be bait?!] “You’re no longer a princess, Neoma de Moonasterio. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero de Moonasterio,” Emperor Nikolai said coldly while looking down at her with glowing red eyes. “Try to survive until your twin brother comes back to take his rightful place, understood?” Neoma was too shocked to react. [Are you f*cking kidding me, you sc*mbag?!] *** [ORIGINAL BOOK COVER. Artwork by sola_cola.] *** [EXCERPT 2] “I’m so sick of your tyrannical a*s,” Neoma yelled at her father aka the emperor. “I won’t forgive you for hurting Lewis and Tteokbokki!” “What will you do about it then?” Nikolai asked with a smirk. “Kill me?” “Yes! I’ll f*cking kill you, sc*mbag!” “Language,” he warned her, upset that his five-year-old daughter curses like a sailor. “Using vulgar words is unbecoming of the future Crown Prince.” “I’m a princess!” Upon yelling those words, the royal princess’s eye color changed from ash-gray to red. [This is getting serious.] “Stop it, Nero,” Nikolai told her sternly. “If you keep that up, the royal knights will come and–” “I’m not Nero!” Neoma screeched angrily. Then she jumped in the air with her left fist, ready to punch him. “In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you!” [What…?] And Princess Neoma, pretending as the Crown Prince for her sick twin brother, punched Emperor Nikolai, her father, in the face.
