“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Minhyuk and Rovan nodded their heads in unison while Hilton thought this…

‘……1 billion in cash is not much?!’

In fact, Rovan had gained a huge amount of cash while he played in Versal but the chef standing right next to him was much calmer than him when he heard that amount of money.

‘Such enviable punks!’

Hilton winked and his guild members narrowed the distance between them by one or two steps.

Then, Rovan made eye contact with Minhyuk…

‘Now!’

Rovan gave a signal then he quickly rushed to the area where the earth was black while Minhyuk quickly ran after him.

“Those enviable bastards…… No, no. Run after those shitty bastards!”

“……?”

The guild members of Ares Guild began to run after them once again.

Rovan stepped over the black ground at the same time as Minhyuk. However, the curse was not triggered immediately even after they entered the area. Rovan looked behind him and checked if each and every member of the Ares Guild had stepped inside.

‘They’re here……!’

At that moment…

A cold and dreary voice resounded all over the area. The voice seemed to have come from the black ground that they were stepping on.

‘What the hell. This voice sounds like Voldemort!’

The members of the Ares Guild looked around after noticing that there was something wrong. Suddenly, a black wind suddenly gushed up from the ground.

Puhaaaaaaaa!

The black wind gathered and spun as it slowly formed the image of a skull.

Keuaaaaaaah!

The black skull shrieked and passed through one of the users’ bodies. The user shuddered strongly like a leaf blown by a strong wind. The black skull moved so fast that they couldn’t even follow it with their eyes.

Puhaaaa!

Puhaaaaaaaa!

“Glut… tony?”

Rovan read the characters of the triggered sin. He knew that the Seven Deadly Sins included pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth and gluttony.

‘I heard that the most powerful sin is gluttony……’

Rovan was shocked when he saw that all of the immunity and magical defense would be ignored. He knew that everyone would be wiped out in this place today.

“Let’s all die together, you crazy punks!”

“Damn it!”

“It, it’s a trap!”

Then. at that moment…

Thud!

Rovan slammed his head to a tree. He could hear someone continuously shouting in his head.

‘Eat, eat, eat, eat, I want to eat everything!’

Keoheob!

After shouting, he quickly dumped all of the food he had in his inventory. Then, with his shaking hands, he hastily ate everything in sight. He even ate the raw meat directly. The same thing was happening to everyone in the Ares Guild.

However, even if Rovan was busy trying to gorge on the food in front of him, he could still see that the man standing beside him was completely fine.

It was none other than Minhyuk.

Minhyuk looked at them with confusion and puzzlement as he watched all of them frantically pull everything they had in their inventory.

“The Seven Deadly Sins, Gluttony? But I still feel the same?”

He scratched his head in confusion as he continued to look at the rest of the people around him.

Team Leader Park was filled with admiration as he watched Ares Guild chase after Rovan and Minhyuk on the monitor. His hands were all sweaty in trepidation and shock.

“I didn’t want to believe it but…… Are you telling me that User Minhyuk’s appetite is already as big as the appetite of the Sin of Gluttony?”

Team Leader Park’s eyes were trained on the monitor as what he just said became true.

The members of the Ares Guild were frantically eating everything they could. They were even eating raw meat and unripe vegetables and fruits. But Minhyuk was just standing there and looking at them curiously.

“What in the world… How strong is that user’s appetite……”

Team Leader Park continued to look at the monitor, then he suddenly gasped in surprise.

“Do you know what’s more surprising?”

“What is it?”

“Look at the rest of the users.”

Lee Minhwa looked at the rest of the users hurriedly trying to fill their stomachs with any food that they could get their hands on. They were completely out of control. In other words, they had lost their minds as they became completely obsessed with eating.

“I don’t believe that a man with such a huge appetite like himself is living such a carefree life.”

“Wow……”

She was in awe when she understood Team Leader Park’s words.

“Are you saying……”

“I believe User Minhyuk has such a strong mental power. I believe he has trained himself to have such strong mental power, right? We don’t know why User Minhyuk has such a huge appetite but what’s clear is that User Minhyuk has been living with such a terrible curse for a very long time.”

“……”

Lee Minhwa looked at User Minhyuk on the monitor. She was once again in awe and admiration. However, she also felt sad for him.

‘He’s a man who has been living with such a huge burden of an appetite that’s scary enough to make someone go crazy.’

“Hmm……”

Minhyuk saw that everyone hurriedly ate everything that they had in their inventory only after they heard the notifications. As a matter of fact, he was also cursed with the same curse but he did not feel anything wrong.

As he looked at the users all around him, he thought that they were somehow similar to him. He remembered that time when he had first contracted bulimia and ate everything that they had in the refrigerator. It didn’t end there. He even ate tissues and other things like that. His condition at that time was just that serious.

But Minhyuk was able to gradually overcome it.

The will to live and the strong determination to not eat everything he could. He even frantically exercised just so he could curb and suppress his appetite and survive to live another day.

Is that the reason why?

Perhaps it was the reason why Minhyuk was not in such a precarious situation.

Then, he heard Rovan say to him…

Chomp, chomp, chomp, how could Minhyuk-nim be okay in this situation?”

“Maybe because I have been living with this curse for quite a long time.”

Minhyuk had been living with the curse of gluttony.

Rovan couldn’t quite understand what Minhyuk meant but he still hurriedly told him…

“Minhyuk-nim, tie me with a rope!”

“……Ah. Yes!”

Minhyuk quickly pressed Rovan to a tree and tied him tightly with a rope. At the same time, Hilton and the members of the Ares Guild had already eaten their way through all of the food in their inventory.

“I’m hungry!”

“I want to eat, I really want to eat. I’m so hungry that I could die!”

“I’m huuuuuuungry!”

A user who couldn’t curb his hunger reached his hands towards the ground. Then, he dug some soil and placed it in his mouth.

Chew, chew, chew, chew! I’m hungry!”

The other Ares Guild members also began to dig through the ground and eat dirt.

Minhyuk was left speechless with their actions.

“I can’t believe that they are eating dirt! What strange people!”

Chew, chew!”

“I don’t want to eat dirt either!”

As Minhyuk said that, he gripped his frying pan tightly as he slowly walked forward. These people had tried to PK him and Rovan, but some of them had not yet become chaotic users. Minhyuk stood in front of one of the users that had become chaotic.

Gulp, gulp, chomp, chew, chew!”

Then, he aimed his frying pan and slammed it down over the heads of the users who had eaten dirt.

Bang!

One of the users was forced to log out. He even dropped some artifacts and some gold. Minhyuk slowly began his journey of logging out the members of the Ares Guild one by one.

Ares tilted his head in confusion when he saw their guild chat window suddenly turn quiet.

No one answered him even though he asked in the guild chat. About three minutes later…

Ares realized that something unusual had happened to them. Just earlier, he received a message from Hilton that they had caught up with them and had them surrounded.

So what the hell is going on here?

Just as he was going to ask this…

“……!”

Ares jumped up in shock. It was only around 3~5 seconds since they last sent their messages but their guild members are quickly dying one by one.

The notifications did not end. There were at least 10 people who had been forced to log out. Not long after, the guild members who had been forced to log out of the game sent messages in their guild chat through their mobile phones in real life.

“Seven Deadly Sins?”

Ares knew about this.

There were trials that were hidden all over the continent in Athenae and once you get past these trials then you would be able to reap great rewards.

They’re facing that Seven Deadly Sins? So does that mean that all of the guild members died without overcoming the sin?

Ares’ expression turned solemn.

His guild members were dying one by one under the hands of an unknown user.

Why on earth is that user not affected by the curse? Don’t tell me…?

The Curse’s Torch was an artifact that he once read about from the Athenae’s homepage. It only said that someone had that artifact in their hands but they did not reveal who that person was or how much the artifact was worth. But it was traded at 40 billion gold. And that user was right in front of them!

Meanwhile, the notifications about his members being forced to log out had suddenly become less frequent.

Minhyuk had already killed all of the chaotic users. The artifacts and gold that they had dropped were truly enormous in number.

As he tried to quickly think of a way to get rid of the users who had not yet become chaotic, he pulled out a steamed bun from his inventory.

The moment he took out the steamed bun…

Turn!

Turn!

Turn!

Turn!

They all turned to Minhyuk like zombies discovering a fresh source of food. And in a blink of an eye, they all drooled at the same time.

“Waaaaaaa!”

“Give it to meeeee!”

Keuaaaang, I want to eat!”

Those who had lost their reason becamre much easier to handle. All of them came rushing to where he was. Minhyuk quickly moved around them with a steamed bun in his hands. Then, a user suddenly hit Minhyuk.

Minhyuk smashed the face of the user who tried to grab his arm that was holding the steamed bun. And just like that, whenever the users came to him and made contact, he would go ahead and deal with them. After all of the members of the Ares Guild went under the temporary chaotic state, Minhyuk climbed up a tree to avoid them.

Then, he tore the steamed bun in half. He was eating the ‘Vegetable Steamed Bun’. This was considered to be the crown prince of all of the steamed buns.

“Pl, please…… Please give me just a piece of that little green onion in there. Just a bit……”

“Please give me a piece of meat over here. I will give you all of my gold and artifacts.”

“I’ll give you my One Piece Nami toy figure! Please just give me one bite!”

They had been clamoring for just one bite that they already offered everything that they could offer. However, Minhyuk finished off half of the steamed bun in one bite.

Keuaaack!

Keuhuhuhu…… It looks delicious……”

“A, are you crying?”

Minhyuk felt a bit awkward.

It was quite a sight to see. Over ten people crying over a piece of steamed bun. Without realizing it, a small piece of meat, about the size of half of a fingernail, fell off of the steamed bun in his hands.

Aaaaaaack! That’s mine!”

“Yaah! I’m your boss! Are you saying that one piece of meat is much more important than your boss?!”

“Isn’t that obvious?!”

They fought amongst themselves for that one piece of meat that fell off of Minhyuk’s steamed bun. Then, one of the users successfully placed the piece of meat in his mouth.

At that moment…

Stab!

Another user hacked him to death with his axe.

“……Wow. I can’t believe you killed your teammate just because he ate that small piece of meat.”

Minhyuk shook his head. He wondered if he would ever turn like that.

“I can’t be like that.”

He quickly denied the reality in front of him. The moment he saw that the user went back to digging and eating dirt he quickly gripped his frying pan and dealt with them one by one.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Huge amount of gold and artifacts came pouring down.

TL’s corner!!!

Well… That’s a scary scenario. And living like that is much scarier. Applause for Minhyuk for living with that condition and not losing his mind over it. We live for a strong MC!

PR’s corner!

Here, here! A big round of applause for Minhyuk and his incredible spirit!
