"When the seven deadly sins take on seven deadly powers and become seven not-so-deadly creatures, bad things are bound to occur."
-------
The seven deadly sins routinely take over one human as a host. This human would go on to absorb small amounts of the beasts powers, becoming what is commonly known today as a 'True Mask.'
These True Masks are usually helpful; shaping civilizations and becoming influential figures through the quiet influence of the Sins - but the bad thing is that no one knows why they're doing this.
Many speculate, yet only the unlucky few would be able to answer truthfully.
Beasts. Monsters with their own agenda, playing chess with the world and using humans as their pawns.
Every move is calculated, and as the monsters twisted game against eachother rules on, its only a matter of time before humanity catches on. The question is, will it be too late when they figure it out?
--------
Double-zero eight is a sheltered yet intelligent girl, who only knows the crossed fences of the compound she was born in.
Mouse is a street rat has survived on the roads for as long as he could remember, knowing the cruelty and pain of the world.
When they're chosen as the newest hosts of two of the Sins, chaos breaks out. Mind games ensue. One thing is for sure.
It's either them, or the monsters that rule them.
And they aren't giving in without a fight.

(This story does occur in the True Silk universe, but it is a few hundred years in the making.) He doesn't blink, still. She kisses her teeth, folds her arms and walks away. "Fine, you wanna stay down here? You can." "Come on, man." I turn around again. "This really isn't funny -" A tall, pencil-thin figure looms behind him. Its white skin is translucent and papery and its fine, greasy black hair has been formed into matter locks. Its neck, which is slightly too long for humans, is stretched like a turtle's while its shoulders are pitted down and and hunched. If it were possible, Grants eyes go even blanker, as if the life had just left his body. It's a few seconds before his body collapses to his knees and then laggingly onto his face. The creature's slender, skeletal fingers drip with his blood, in its hand, a fresh, still desperately beating heart. Grant's heart. * Julien would be your run of the mill bad girl; smart mouth, always picking fights, doesn't take anyone's crap bad girl. She would be...if only it weren't for the fact that she is an out-of-the-ordinary vampire. That much is made very clear when she and some friends go poking around the forbidden catacombs outside of their home city. They accidentally find something ancient and murderous lying beneath its surface with ties to old, dangerous magic kept locked away for good reasons. And now he has ties to her.

The Oracle
"With bloodied wings do those who want to make things right carry themselves and yet others instead only see the wrongs they believe them to be." In a world where creatures from nightmares roam, sixteen year old Akari Hana fights in order to keep humans like herself safe. Many years ago, a cataclysm occurred where the seven deadly sins and the seven heavenly virtues were born into human forms. Upon this, creatures of nightmares were also born out of the cataclysm. The seven sins and virtues then fought in order to keep the balance in the world. Over time, the world seemed to reach more of a balance. Now, the sins and virtues practice their crafts in an academy deep in a mystical jungle below the regular realm of the human world. This is where the prodigious Akari Hana has trained her entire life to fight alongside the sins and virtues to keep her world safe from the creatures that keep coming back. However, recently more creatures have been spawning and Akari has been tasked with finding out why. While being tasked with this quest, Akari stumbles upon a rather pressing dilemma. Shall she execute a rather dangerous and peculiar creature she comes across or will she enlist his help in saving the world? After all, humans can be monsters too.Complete![Heist [ H.S ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396173747-256-k174630.jpg)
Heist [ H.S ]
"Let me guess," he says, eyes gleaming. "You read somewhere that if you humanize your captor, he starts to feel sympathy. Stockholm Syndrome in reverse. Touché." I try not to flinch as he stops directly in front of me.My breath catches, but I don't look away. He grins darkly. "Silly rabbit," he murmurs. "Tricks are for me." *** She came to London to chase the story of a lifetime. He was the story all along. When journalist Penelope Reese begins investigating a string of stolen artifacts tied to a shadowy criminal syndicate known only as The Umbra, she expects danger. What she doesn't expect is to lose herself inside it. At Lethewood Manor, time warps. Morality bends. And the girl who once hunted monsters begins to wonder if she was always fated to become one. Harry Styles is more than the Umbra's ruthless leader he's a mind sharpened into a weapon, a genius who swore nothing human could ever touch him. Cold, calculating, untouchable. Until her. She's the only distraction he's ever allowed. The crack in his control. The voice he swore he didn't need, yet can't silence. To him, she's leverage, temptation, inevitability. To her, he's both a nightmare she can't escape and the one tether that might keep her alive. As Penelope unravels the secrets behind their operations-paintings lost to history, jewels worth empires, power hidden in plain sight. She begins unraveling something far more dangerous: the man who took her... and the truth about herself. But they are both bound by something neither can name-an obsession threaded by fate itself. Because some stories aren't just reported. Some stories are inevitable.
Soul of a Demon
For ages beyond memory, the dragons ruled the Seven Realms. Their dominion brought long centuries of peace, though never without cost. Vast appetites drained the land: herds vanished, harvests withered, and sometimes even the people themselves became prey. At last, the realms united, driving the dragons back to their own realm. The portals between realms were sealed with unbreakable magic. Or so the victors believed. The Seven Realms are seven worlds, each occupying the same point in space but spinning in separate dimensions, each in its own universe. A rare, natural anomaly binds them together, like spokes meeting at a single hub. Through this pivot point, wormholes formed, and gates opened, allowing travelers to pass between realms with ease. From this woven cosmos comes the tale of the last dragon and the prophecy that would turn every gaze toward her as the only hope against the demons and their Horde. The Demons hunted the dragons trapped in their realm until only three remained. By cunning or miracle, they escape into another realm. Of these, one was small, but quick-witted. She alone evaded the fate of her companions. Now she flees through lands her kind once ruled, hunted as prey by a relentless predator. From the lips of the Oracle of the Great Wizard's Coven, the very circle that had exiled her kind, came the final prophecy. The words were spoken, then the Oracle mysteriously vanished. Can this meek creature thwart the will of the Demon Horde Master? And what doom awaits the realms if she fails?Complete
