In the City of Gold, the cheapest commodity is a human life. Aurion is a city of layers. At the top, the Dwarven nobility live in golden palaces fueled by the massive mines beneath the earth. At the bottom, humans scrape by in the rain-slicked slums of the Lower Ring, grateful for whatever scraps fall from the table. Constable Elian knows his place. As a human officer in the City Watch, his job is to break up bar fights and ignore the excesses of the ruling class. But the fragile peace shatters when a member of the Royal Family, is found dead in an alley. With the city on the brink of civil war, Elian and his dwarven partner, Korg, must go rogue to find the real killer. But as they peel back the layers of the conspiracy, they realize that the bullet was just the beginning. In a city built on gold, someone is digging for something far more dangerous.

For one hundred billion years, the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues have waged an endless war—using Earth as their battlefield and humanity as their vessels. Every ten centuries, chosen humans inherit fragments of divine power, fighting in place of gods who cannot be killed, only delayed. Victory grants dominion over the universe. Defeat reshapes reality itself. Aurelian Voss has lived through this cycle more than anyone should. Reincarnated one hundred thousand times, he remembers every war, every victory, and every failure. He has seen civilizations rise and collapse, companions die, and the balance of the world pushed to the brink of annihilation—again and again. This time is different. As the Sins and Virtues grow closer to descending with unprecedented power, Aurelian begins his hundred-thousandth life determined not just to survive the war—but to end it. Traveling alongside unaware successors of ancient clans, he moves through a world that does not yet know it stands on the edge of divine collapse. Between evolving power systems, hidden legacies, and emotions that refuse to fade, Aurelian must decide: Can balance be preserved without becoming a god? And if not—what must he sacrifice to become one? The Eternal Balance: The War of Virtues and Sins is a dark epic fantasy about reincarnation, legacy, and the cost of protecting a world that may never know your name.

So, what’s this novel about? Think 'Squid Game' meets 'Game of Thrones'. ✧˖°── .✦───☼༺☆༻☾───✦.── °˖✧ In a kingdom where the crown is not passed by blood. Even a prince must earn it and even a peasant can claim it. Keiser was a knight of the royal brigade, one of the first commoners ever to reach the final trial of the King’s Gambit. A brutal tradition decided the kingdom’s next king. While nobles trained their entire lives for it, Keiser… born with no mana, rose through grit, loyalty, and unyielding strength. At his side stood Prince Gideon Aury Valemont, the king’s fourth son, who had seemingly renounced his own claim to support Keiser. Or so Keiser believed. It was in the final trial that the truth revealed its fangs. Keiser had been nothing but a pawn. Gideon had used him as a shield, a decoy to draw assassins and rivals, all while secretly paving his own path to the throne. In the trial, a candidate’s kingmaker must either make the ultimate sacrifice or betray their chosen king and seize the throne. Gideon chose the crown. Bloodied and broken, Keiser knelt, impaled by the very sword Gideon gifted to him. A blade forged from the core of a dragon he had once sworn to free, now twisted into the instrument of his death. Smoke curled from seared flesh, sigils burned into his skin by the hand he once trusted most. As numbness dulled the pain, he raised his gaze... And beheld Gideon, crowned in gold and betrayal... a serpent in royal silk, enthroned by treachery and gilded lies. In that final breath, Keiser understood. The King’s Gambit had never been about valor or justice. It was a masquerade of shadows, where victory belonged not to the strongest... but to the most ruthless deceiver. But death was not his end. Keiser awakens in the body of Muzio Auro Valemont, the king’s disgraced tenth prince, long-missing bastard son, doomed to die before the Gambit even begins. To stop history from repeating, Keiser must find the man he once was, must convince his former self that betrayal is coming, that Gideon will drive into his back the very blade forged from the dragon he once freed. Even if it means entering the Trials again in a body too weak to hold a sword. Even if it means bleeding himself dry to keep pace with his mind. Even if it means turning to the forbidden art of Blood Scripting. Keiser---now Muzio, must train, scheme, and survive... Not as the knight who flew too close to the sun, But as the bastard son hidden in its shadow. He no longer seeks the crown. He seeks to destroy all who dare to wear it. ༻✦༺ 　༻✧༺　༻✦༺ Unofficial tags are: #Transmigration, #Regression #TimeTravel, #BodySwap #IdentityRebirth #MagicSystem #Greek/Latin/Symbols/Weird-Magic-System, #BloodMagic #ForbiddenArts #StrongToWeak / #WeakToStrong, #Trial-by-Succession, #FoundFamily #Mystery, #HorrorElements, #Elves, #Dragons, #Fae, #Sirens, ━⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅━ If any of that caught your interest, give the story a try, and hopefully you'll find it better than expected.

In a world where the sky is torn between the light of Elysion and the darkness of Tartarus, an eternal war threatens to shatter the balance of nature. Azraelis, the Dark Sovereign enthroned upon bone and obsidian, has risen with a single goal: to eradicate humanity, which he sees as weak, hypocritical, and deserving of subjugation. Aided by his three lethal generals—Nekron with his breath-stealing sword, Zephiron with his twin bloodthirsty blades, and Belial with his soul-crushing hammer—he unleashes the armies of Tartarus to turn the world into an ocean of suffering. But behind the walls of Elysion, humanity's last city, hope still remains.

With the ability to manipulate mist and lightning, he becomes the final barrier between Tartarus and the extinction of mankind. Yet, every step he takes is shadowed by pain and sacrifice, and a longing for a home that is lost to him. On the other side, two former Tartarus generals—Danteus and Hector—have chosen the path of betrayal to atone for the sins of their past.

Together with King Gaius, who leads with a rusted sword and the courage of the common people, they must fight not only for survival, but to prove that even from the deepest darkness, the light of redemption can still shine.

In a world where humanity controls only a quarter of the land, survival is not a right—it is a gamble. Beyond the kingdom’s borders lie the Outer Lands, territories ruled by demons, dragons, and forgotten gods. Those who enter return rich… or not at all. Rexor de Strauss is the son of a fruit merchant—born a commoner, armed with nothing but a blade and a technique created to survive, not to conquer. Trained by a father who once walked the Outer Lands, Rexor learns early that strength is never free. But he is not alone. Among priests who abandoned the weak, nobles who rewrote history, and a kingdom that exterminated an entire family out of fear, hidden sins begin to surface. Ancient gods watch silently, bound by contracts they cannot break—waiting for humans desperate enough to meet their conditions. As demons stir, bloodlines awaken, and betrayal seeps into every alliance, one truth becomes clear: The world is not broken. It was built this way. And when the Outer Lands finally consume the last human borders, no god will come to save them.
