《Sinful Redmption》17. Side Chapter 01
Advertisement
The academy of Teras as usual bustled with activity. The mages' department cultivating the potential mages into more accomplished ones. The warlock's department sparking up in different colors all day long as the warlocks and witches under it immersed themselves in studying and practicing spells, enchantment, and incantations.
The shapeshifters' department was vast than the others due to the uniqueness of their abilities. They learned to control how to best handle their transformations, how to best endure the pain of their shifting and be open about it, and the art of getting familiar with their bestial counterparts.
The department guiding the vampires had also unique features to it. For example, the glass cages that are built aligning a large hall inside it. The vampire species were divided into two categories. The purebloods and the half-bloods. The former was born with vampire blood in them and the latter were originally humans who had later been turned into vampires.
But both had one quality they could not escape. The bloodlust, uncontrollable bloody thirst for blood. Be it humans, mages, spirits, giants, warlocks, or shapeshifter, all of their blood was like sweet ambrosia of gods for them. At the academy, these beings learned how to control such bloodlust and put to use their newly enhanced strengths in greater qualities.
The sections reserved for giants and spirits were in a natural reserve complete with mountains and rivers. They lived separately from the rest of the species, hence none were seen in the main academy buildings.
The humans were reserved the smallest department yet there lived the most genius of the living creatures. The academy only accepted the most highly intelligent humans, where they were prepared with a high amount of knowledge and intellect on battle strategy, government, finance, and various other areas.
From morning till afternoon the respective departments had been busy but when the time for lunch arrived, even the strict professors could not contain the students as they rushed out.
Food was not something even the most diligent person could forgo.
So soon the cafeteria filled with students, the bunches forming cliques as they enjoyed their meals.
The seven sins who only participated in public classes such as history and martial arts were too present. Their positions were rather conspicuous with their high maintenance outfits and temperament.
The boys were seated at one table idling about the girls missing, no one laying their eyes on the two since classes had ended.
"Where are the females?" Col questioned, the words coming out garbled in the midst of his filled mouth.
"What?" Lucien questioned not understanding.
"He is asking, 'Where are the females?'" Damien murmured quietly, accurately portraying what the glutton had mumbled.

"Oh," Lucien paused then he too wondered the same. "So where are they?"
But the others shook their heads, having no clue of it too. Even Aaro the twin of one of the said females had no idea where his cute sister had run off to.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Nicholos then muttered his instincts warning him heavily.
"Do you think this perhaps has something to do with what they bet on last week?" Aaro asked curiously and at that everyone straightened, seeing the dread in each other's eyes.
"Oh damn, it's already starting. Look!" Col exclaimed his eyes widened cheeks still bulged with food.
Hearing the fearful cry the remaining five snapped their heads to the direction he was pointing only to break into a cold sweat. There, running towards them was an army of girls, eyes dazed, and the influence of Lust apparent in their physics.
"Consider me gone." Seeing the debacle Damien was the first to move, resolutely vanishing from sight his still plate left behind. Seeing this Gluttony fell into a dilemma. To eat or to retreat?
Blood hell? When has his life ever been so hard?
Then resolutely he stood up taking his plate and Damiens in both his hands, having no way to cast the teleportation spell he simply turned and hightailed away leaving behind the prideful Nicholos, greedy Lucien, and the lazy Aaro.
Nicholos it was shameful for him to leave just because of a group of girls, Lucien felt conflicted physical hesitant to move as he felt their greedy desire swarm him in waves, and Aaro simply did not want to move. That mischievous sister of his always found ways to annoy him, finding trouble left and right.
Amara and Lilith must have surely upped their game, seeing that they have not found them with any girl since arriving here.
It was not that they were saints who had been celibate, it is just that the girls had been unable to find it. So as long as they did not find out there will not be any catfights they would have to separate.
But thinking so Aaro could not help but shudder, all those times for the past years when Amara and Lilith had sent girls and men salivating after them, was it for the sake of bloody bets?
Ahh... how he wished he could just snag the two and lock them inside some tower so they could annoy each other to their heart's content without disturbing them. But Aaro knew it was all wishful thinking, for he would have to do laborious work for that and he did not fancy expending a muscle on behalf of their childishness.

Just as the three were about to be swarmed by girls and Nicholos got ready to defend himself the bunch suddenly dropped down, falling against each other as they snored, sleep encasing them.
Then a head full of brilliant silver hair stuck out from behind a pillar and smiling widely with sparkling ruby eyes.
"Crisis averted. My darling brothers, your little sister to the rescue." With that, she teleported away leaving them to gape at the empty space she left behind.
"Bloody hell!" The three of them cursed.
Did the two little idiots have nothing better to do than bet on their sex lives?!
~~>~~>~~>~~
After saving Lucien from the calamity Lilith strolled outside leisurely. According to their agreement, they will only have one chance to use outside tricks into manipulating the boys, and today's quota had already finished.
An amused sigh escaped Lilith as she remembered the three's expression when she left, she truly lived for such moments. So cute, he brothers.
In fact, both Amara and Lilith did not really care for the contents of the bet, only the reward and the process of tormenting their brothers. And today had been immensely fun, but she really did not imagine Col would display such disgraceful behavior.
Tsk, tsk, the glutton...
~~>~~
The stressful week of evading Amara and Lilith had yet to end when the weekends arrived, giving a break to the students of Teras.
Elia was a student under the department of mages and finally, she'd worked up the courage to approach the master of gluttony at the rest areas today. While Lord Col was an invested foody, she always found him very cute.
And she knew beings of their kind would never settle down. And she did not have such fantasies either. She just wanted a night with him, even girls have urges alright!
So dressing up in a pretty blue knee-length dress, her hair rolled in a beautiful twist, heels adorning her feet she stepped out of her dorm, a cake in hand.
It was not without a guarantee that she'd chosen today, for she'd seen the Lord flicking his eyes towards her a few times.
Col who had been idling about on a plush sofa flicking the TV channels for once was not feeding himself to the brim. Just as he thought nothing interesting was taking place a shadow approached him, stopping next to him.
He looked up to find a pretty girl with a package smiling down at him. He recognized her from passing throwing furtive, blushing glances at him
"Hello darling, how may I help you?" He asked working up his charm, for the girl was just to his liking.
Now that facing him directly Elia couldn't help but stutter, "I-I just wanted to give this to you." Seeing that smile of his, all the courage and attitude she'd worked up flew out of the window leaving behind her in a fluster.
How cute. He thought as he motioned her to join him. Seeing this the other girls in the room exchanged glances of envy, yet minded their own business, knowing irritating a Lord of sin was not in their best interest.
"What is it that you've brought to me?" Col asked casually and the girl presented him the cake making the acting aloof Col's eyes immediately glitter with excitement.
Seeing this Elia let out a chuckle, her laughter delighted at such an adorable reaction. The master of gluttony looked cute but the attraction he oozed while being so could not be overlooked.
And so the two started chatting slowly moving closer and closer to each other, physical attraction burning between them.
Away from them, sitting around a table both Amara and Lilith witnessed this.
Yet both did not react much, but when the two got up walking away, Col's hand encircling the girl's waist Lilith laughed delightedly.
Looking at the gloomy Amara in front of her she spoke provokingly.
"I win. You ready to accept your punishment?" But the only response she received was a cold huff and as the mistress of Lust stomped off dread appearing in her eyes.
How could she possibly stay away from any sexual activity for a whole week? A whole bloody week!
And to make matters worse, the culprit of her tragic circumstance made himself known in front of her. There they stood Lucien and Nicholos, seeming to be in a deep conversation.
"Lucien you bastard!!" With that an invisible hand smacked Lucien in the back of his head making him stumble forward as he looked around in confusion, the enrage cry of his sister reaching his ears.
But when he searched no one seemed to be in the vicinity.
All the while Nicholos laughed quietly to himself, it seemed dear Amara had lost to Lilu, oh, how tragic her plight is about to be.
But what made it even more hilarious was that it was all her fault.
Meanwhile, Lucien turned to him a bewildered expression on his face, "What did I do?" He asked, making Nicholos pat him on the back sympathetically.
"You did nothing brother, that's the problem." Amara's revenge was going to be interesting to find out.
Poor darling Greed.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict.

Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)
