They called him a monster. A mistake. A mind beyond saving. Until the war came. Now the killer wears a uniform, his blade baptized by state orders and national pride. For the same hands that once strangled in shadows now serve the flag in broad daylight. He kills. He protects. He obeys. And the applause rings louder than the screams ever did. But how can the same act be sin in one world, and salvation in another? As bodies pile and silence grows heavy, the question gnaws at him like rot beneath the skin. What is good? What is evil? And who decides? Told through fractured memories, visceral monologues, and a mind unraveling at the edges, Sanctified by Sin is a descent into the soul of a man sculpted by violence—now seeking truth in a world that only understands blood. In the end, he won't ask for forgiveness. He’ll demand answers.

Died in sneakers. How undignified. My name is Seren. In my first life, I was devastatingly hot, fiercely alone, and bored out of my mind. Then a truck fixed that problem. Now I've woken in a dungeon of bones and shadows, wearing nothing but black lace and a smile. And him the Warden of the Abyss. A five‑thousand‑year‑old monster with eyes like empty wells, a chest full of scars, and a body that belongs on a blasphemous altar. He says I should be afraid. He's killed thousands. He feeds on souls. I say....Teach me. Because I'm done being invisible. Done waiting to be chosen. In death, I've found something I never had in life... a monster who sees me. And I'll do anything to keep that gaze on my skin. He wants to keep me as his prey. But I'm not prey. I'm the fire that cold things reach for, knowing they'll burn. Kael. That's the name I gave him. Now every time he whispers my Seren, it sounds like a prayer and a warning. Let the lessons begin. Let the darkness touch me where no one else has. And let him learn....Some prey bites back.

A week prior to our wedding, I stumbled upon an unexpected treat. My fiancé's wedding band had "Addie" inscribed on the inside, the pet name he consistently used for me. I felt moved and thrilled, anticipating our future together. However, before I could fully savor the moment, he phoned. He was intoxicated from his bachelor celebration and required my assistance. Upon arriving at the location, my spirits plummeted. There he stood, clasping another woman's hand, gazing at her with a tender, affectionate expression. My pulse quickened when I heard him address her as "Addie."

Binita stood in the playground alone stranded by her friends. She was excited all day as she had planned to meet her friends after a long time. The last time she saw them was when she was in her PUC-2, on the last day of her final e am. She was a member of the college’s most studious group, or as a gang as she would describe it. But what followed was the most horrific experience she ever witnessed

In a fractured world where holy light and heretical machinery vie for dominion, two dynasties stand on the brink of annihilation—and their only hope lies in a power that could destroy them both. The Ashorex, revered as divine stewards of the Gaia Continent, wield Luminar Code: sacred magic fueled by the faith of their people. But their miracles are fading. Celia Ashorex, the reluctant heir to the throne, hears the dying whispers of the Light Dominion itself during her coronation—a ritual that goes horrifically wrong when her holy power twists into a lethal force. Branded a heretic, she flees into the shadows, desperate to uncover why her prayers now breed corruption instead of grace. The Lobenstein, exiled architects of reality-bending technology, survive by embedding Arc Cores into their flesh—machines that warp time and gravity but slowly corrode their bodies into dust. Jax Lobenstein, a brilliant engineer rotting from his own inventions, stumbles upon coordinates to the Third Heart, a mythical relic tied to his family’s cursed legacy. But to reach it, he must venture into Ashorex territory, where his kind are hunted as abominations. When Celia and Jax collide in the blighted borderlands, their clash of magic and tech rips open a Reality Shard—a vision of a forgotten prophecy. They see the Third Heart: a pulsating hybrid of crystal and engine, capable of mending their broken world… or unraveling it entirely. Pursued by zealots, Veythari mutants, and the shadowy Vult Council (who manipulate both families for their own ends), the pair form a fragile alliance. But trust is scarce. Celia’s holy sigils flicker with doubt, while Jax’s machines eat away at his humanity. As they decode the Third Heart’s secrets, they uncover a truth neither family dares admit: their powers share the same tainted origin. The Ashorex’s light and the Lobenstein’s steel are two halves of a primal force—one that demands sacrifice. To prevent a cataclysm, Celia and Jax must defy their bloodlines, blending faith and code in ways that could heal the continent… or ignite a war that devours gods and mortals alike.

Dai An does not believe in spirits. To him, they are nothing more than stories-old tales to frighten children and deceive the gullible.

But the world turns out not to be as simple as he imagines.
