Heaven's Pawns: The Proxy War

PedroPaterno
On the same fateful day, fourteen people from vastly different lives meet their end—some through cruel accidents, others by deliberate acts. But death is not the end. Selected by ancient deities, they awaken in Auron, a realm shaped by faith and belief, where the gods themselves wage silent wars through mortal proxies—marked by the Seven Deadly Sins and the mantle of the Seven Heavenly Virtues. Bound to their divine patrons yet blind to the rules of the gods' games, these unlikely champions must navigate a world of shifting alliances, cryptic prophecies, and moral trials. The forces of Sin and Virtue clash as each proxy struggles to follow their nature—whether virtuous or sinful—while resisting the temptations that threaten to consume them. As war brews on mortal soil and whispers of rebellion echo among the heavens, the fourteen must decide: will they play their roles as pawns in a celestial contest, or will they rise to challenge the gods themselves? In this epic tale of adventure and inner conflict, virtue may falter, sin may redeem—and destiny is never what it seems.

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
