Synopsis

Is it Sin that makes one a sinner? Or is it Kin that makes one a sinner? Many say we are born innocent and untainted, and yet in Sin we are all related to one another. For we are one Kin, and with this Sin we share that we are born with. And even a certain doctrine holds that one's Kin, through the fact of birth, inherit a tainted nature with a proclivity to sinful conduct in need of regeneration… "I was brought forth in iniquity, and in Sin did my Mother conceive me." …or so the doctrine says, "We are all born sinners because of Kin that brings us together." …and so we think: we are born with Sin inherited from our Kin, But, should that hold us back from acting with virtue? No, we should not hold back, even when Sin entered the world through one Kin, and Death through Sin, and in this way, Death came to all beings, because all sinned, But even so, we all have freedom to be a being we want when we embrace Death, To be a fraudulent Human, To be a violent Angel, To be a benevolent Devil, And what one wants to be, neither "Sin" nor "Kin" should define what "Self" one is going to be, let "Journey" instead that defines one "Self"

Chapter 1Moonlight Rendezvous

Blue ray… a ray of the moon,

"There! The devil runs off towards Gadcru Hill…!"

The sparkle of the stars was shifted into the glitter of torches, devouring the tranquility amongst the surrounding woodland by making use of their war cry of theirs to enlarge the tiny courage they had. Least a little it might have worked, for they were all just a bunch of ordinary dwellers; dwelled in the small village near the foothill limited only by the forest line surrounding it…

"Move it! Faster! Show no mercy just because the damned devil occupies the body of an innocent girl - it's just one of its trickery, trying to deceive us."

…yet it was the leader of the village, shouting the loudest he was while raising his own torch as high as he could so that the blackness of the sky blended with its color of crimson desire as well for destruction—the color of fire—leading his people in pursuit of this devil,

If what the villagers said was to be believed, concerning this devil who already was above all of them in fact in every aspect, mainly ability and capability. Consequently, they would have no chance against this devil,

Unless they had a prominent individual among them whose power was greater or at least equal with the said devil… and sure they had such right now, 

"Where's this Gadcru Hill you mentioned?"

Solidly standing beside him was a figure of a Holy Knight, as high as approximately fifteen inches taller than the rest of this village population apparently, rendering him stood out the most amongst them… apart from the rigid silvery, argent-hued armor he wore from head to toe and his deep black greatsword which adorned with starlight-like sparkles on its stygian surface resting on his back. A heavy yet smooth muffled voice came underneath the helmet, giving a serious impression on anything he was about to say… quite an authoritative figure he was, 

"Y-yes, Gadcru Hill," the village's leader answered haltingly. Quite a normal reaction he showed, moreover after listening to such a voice, "It's the nearest hill from our village... about five hundred yards to the northwest." 

"I see…"

Then one of the villagers, from the scout team, came out from the dense forest. No time for him, however, to gasp the chilling air, instead of using the spare time to fill his empty lungs, he made use of this time to shout as he was about to inform the main force regarding this devil, "She changed her direction! She's now moving to the east… towards Vadge River!"

"Vadge river, huh?" those crossed arms on the silver torso were slowly straightened beside his steady body as he listened to the latest news… apparently now the Holy Knight was about to make his own preparation of making his hand dirty, knowing now his turn was about to come, "It's quite far from the village, is it not?"

"Correct, Lord Kharys. It is five days of walking toward the east, near the border of the Dievai Empire."

"Understood." the Holy Knight—whom they called Kharys—his right arm then reached out for the greatsword bereft of a scabbard on his large back. It looked heavy, dark, and dense, yet it was adorned with tiny glittering lights that filled the entire surface of the black metal as though the void was filled with the entire starry night of the skies. He grasped it using his right hand, while the other prepared to make an incantation gesture of a simple one… because, in just a blink of an eye, a magic circle began to emerge beneath his feet. Glowing grayish-white it was, thus dazzling anyone's eyes watched it, "Head Villager, sire." Kharys spoke after he was done with his incantation to buff himself, "It is better for you to order the others to retreat. I'll be straightforward, you and your people have no chance to keep up let alone fight against this devil in the first place. But no worries, because as a replacement, please allow me… I'll hunt the devil in five seconds."

The confident tone uttered by this prominent individual, increasing the morale of the villagers happened to overhear it. Not just some prominent individuals in fact, but the well-known Holy Knight who was sent directly by King Horik himself in regard to protect his people,

"We understand, Lord Kharys. " the Head of the Village then responded, obeying his advice, "You better be careful as well."

Giving his last nod before setting off, the Holy Knight then began to jump so high that he was seen as though flying across the dense forest just beneath the hanging sparkling yet gloomy skies. To the east he went, where the largest river on the continent existed… with his greatsword drawn above the forest bathed in the blue moon, he sped up his momentum in order to catch up with this devil.

.

A devil in the form of a beautiful lassie, having an appearance that of a fourteen years old girl of human age with medium-long hair covering her tiny graceful back without any presence of a pair of signature wings nor tail that was typical to a demonic kin, yet seeming she was endowed with superhuman abilities, both mentally and physically, which she could use to escape from the pursuit of the villagers who seemingly were unfriendly to her presence… jumping from one branch to another… barefooted… she was moving so fast that ordinary eyes would only perceive it as a shadowy silhouette following the lead of the cold night breeze.

And when an open space approached, right above this Vadge River where the moonlight shone the shiniest without trees might block its way… a glimpse of her body, therefore, was finally revealed under this bright blue of moonlight,

White rather pale skin covered in dark brown ragged clothes; the twin horns were plain to see protruding upward from both of her temples between her straight, white-as-snow hair with slightly carmine color on its end… and her golden-yellow eyes gazed sharply at the other side of the river.

Thinking she just needed only to jump across this two-mile-wide river with the assumption that the villagers would lose her track and eventually give up on the pursuit. Yet little did she know about the ace card owned by the villagers, or rather the ace card they asked for, now had been used at the last moments,

All of a sudden, an enormous blue magic circle emerged from the reposeful surface of the river. Thanks to its glowing nature, this devil was capable of noticing it immediately, thus using air as her foothold to dodge the attack later seen as a form of large, long, and wide ice spears that appeared less than a second from the magic circle. She, hence, jumped mid-air to the other side… if only she was late even a second, maybe what was on top of that icy mountain was her impaled body… dozens of giant ice spears that would pierce her whole body.

As an anticipation step for the probability of another trap or magic-based mines on the ground, she chose to stand in the air while looking around cautiously… prepared for another attack that might surely come once again. Because judging from the previous one, this attacker might have been observing from nearby,

And just like she had predicted…

"Oh… you managed to dodge it, escaping death despite being in mid-air. Thought I'd underestimated you it seemed."

…a heavy-toned voice was then heard. It wasn't too hard to guess where it might come from, after all in such an open space. And so this devil looked up, querying calmly to the silver figure who was floating above not too far from her,

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

Nevertheless, it did not come without its own benefits. Years of research have led the world to the discovery of intimacy between men and women could increase the witches' mana absorption.

It's very rare to find a book that implements philosophical reference, these days. Right after I noticed the title of the first volume, I instantly knew if it was based on a work of René Descartes. He was such a great philosopher indeed. As the synopsis says, "The crimson thread will begin to roll... casting its shades of gray." My guess this story would not lead into your typical good guy vs bad guy. No. It would become more complex than that. "Moral Dilemmas" as the author first mentioned in the 21st chapter, and the more chapters will be brought to us, the more it became blur and obscure. The border between evil and virtue will become vague. The MC really fit into this belief. A demon girl who is somehow contradicting to her born-nature. An angelic demon, you could say. But the thing is... not that simple. She seemingly has a helpful, kind-hearted manner, not because she is a demon on the outside and an angel on the inside, but because she thinks... simple as that. Then again, all of it are related to René Descartes works. You'd better read this story firsthand to comprehend what I mean. It's really worth it. As I really love the plot, the written narrative and characters description - from what the characters are doing, body language, behavior, their way of think and et cetera - are perfectly served, especially how the author put his/her own thoughts in some chapters. The grammar however, yet I can understand since the author isn't the native english speaker - so am I - nothing to complain. Despite a few mistakes, the story is still easy to understand. Then last but not least, the author seems worried about the low upload rate compare to other. Here's my little note for you, the author, "Don't compare yourself with others. There's no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when when it's their time." In conclusion, keep writing at your own pace, do it at a speed that is comfortable for you. I don't mind waiting a week or so for a single chapter because I know it will going to be ripe. A good chapter and a great story take time after all.

This is my first review on this site. I bothered to create an account just to write this review for a book I really love, and it was worth it. Many I love about this novel. The plot, characters, narrations, especially figure of speech, the way the author approach something ambiguously instead a direct and clear one, leaving readers to wonder what was implied in one paragraph and creating these massive paragraphs as the outcome. It's not really a bad thing, first maybe would make you feel a bit tired for reading such a long paragraphs, you simply just to adapt with it and things would become easier. It's not all the paragraphs were massive after all, only some that need to be described deeply. And I really love it. Back to the implied aspect, the author also cleverly used implied title as well in every chapters, if you noticed it. The novel title itself also implied "Sin of Kin" not only sound catchy, but I think there's some kind of sinister meaning behind it. A sin of her kin which is devil, or a sin of humans kin, or maybe others beings that "casting its shades of grey". My gut telling me that our little devil MC maybe doesn't really have the so-called angel heart. Why I can say that? It from the latest two chapters ---or maybe three if the author already upload it in the future--- anyhow, the point is in that long chapter titled "A Demure Sin" which was divided into sub-chapters right now. Not gonna spoil it, because the title already spoke for itself. Not only the novel that amazing, but its author as well. One kind of literal humble author. The author never ever telling and asking and begging constantly to his/her readers to vote, comment, or add his/her novel into the readers library. Never. Which is kinda rare and uncommon to find in this site who craved for things like that. That's why I love both the novel and like its humble author. Phew~ this review's kinda long, isn't it? Gonna end it here. Despite its low upload rate compare to the standard novel found in this site, this novel is worth waiting. After all, the author seemed to upload each chapter no less than 2k words per week, even there are chapter that have more than 2k. I think it's the same as uploading 500-1000 words chapters every day or two. To close this review I need only say one thing to the author. Keep writing no matter what. Thank you for providing us a great story to read.
