[Comment: This might get dangerous.]

During this month i did nothing except eat and sleep.

I even got the 'Bored' skill that evolves later on into sloth.

Leveling gluttony to max was easier than expected, no rather it would be better to say that i was lucky.

To evolve 'over-eating', i had to eat a something that was 25 levels above me.

I tried to use the unique skill token when gluttony was just level 1 but it didn't work, the skill had to reach level max to work.

As it turns out, after a skill without a further evolution reaches level 10 the user has to complete an extra mission to get it to level max, kinda anoying but there is nothing i can do about it.

The mission was insane, i needed to eat something that was at least 75 levels above me.

Thankfully anyone with a bit of money can buy a dead monster at such level, if i were level 25 then things would become very bad.

You have to know, that every 100 level there is going to be a mission to progress further, the mission has multiple difficulties to chose from, the higher the difficulty the better the reward.

A level 99 beast might not be even worth 1% of the price that a level 100 would.

Anyway i am now getting ready for the challenge.

The unique 7 deadly sins are completely different from other unique skill.

They have Intelligence.

This is actualy how demon lords are born, they are chosen by the skill itself.

That's also the reason they are born with a job, they are practically like me. The only difference is that was blessed by a god and they were blessed by a skill.

I was warned by the goddess that there is a 99% chance that it will be hostile to me.

With that in mind i turned to Rose.

"Rose, i will start now"

"Young master please be safe!"

She was at the verge of tears, but this was something that couldn't be avoided.

"OK"

And with that i use the token on gluttony.

I felt my vision darken, i couldn't help but think that i am falling into a coma way too often lately.

.....

When i woke up i was in a dark hallway and infront of me was a huge door made of something like gold.

On the door were hundreds upon hundreds of drawing showing jaws of different animals.

"Yup, this is definitely gluttony"

I then pushed the door.

"BRAMMM"

It easily slid back, but it made a huge amount of noice.

After a made a big enough gap to pass through, i went in.

Inside was a table with 2 seats.

On one of the seats was sitting a 2 meter tall, humanoid ant creature.

Upon seeing it, i couldn't help but think of a novel where the protagonist isn't good at leveling up with a team.

While i was thinking of this, it spoke to me.

"Come, have a bite"

His voice was cold and dry, like he had to drink water for ages.

The whole time he was speaking he didn't even look at me, only at the food on the table.

I didn't hesitate and sat on the other chair.

"I think you are aware for what i am hear for."

I asked him.

"Indeed, you are here for me, come let us sigh the contract after we eat."

After he said this i began to eat.

A bit later he talked to me.

"Excellent, everything on you if perfect, you even have a blessing from such a powerful god hehehe"

I kept eating like i didn't hear him.

"Kid, we are now in my world made of countles devoured souls hehehe"

"You are the perfect gift for me, after i eat your soul i could get everything you have and you god won't even notice hehehe"

After he said that he started to rise up slowly.

"It hasn't even been 10 minutes and you already showed your true face"

After he heard this he laughed.

"Hehehe, you don't seem very shocked"

To this, i also laughted.

"Hahaha, there is only one reason for you to give food to others, to fatten them up and eat them afterwards!"

"Very smart kid, come now, tell me, do you have any last words"

"Only 2, token activate"

Yes, the token wasn't to make me take part in the challenge, anyone with level max gluttony could do that, it is to make the challenge fair.

After the words left my mouth a beam of light apeared and struck Gluttony.

"Damn you!"

The light didn't do damage, but made him weaker.

How weak you may ask, as weak as me, meaning level 0.

"Ok human you won i will sign the contract with you"

To this you simply replied.

"No"

".....eeh?"

"Indeed i was never here to make a contract with you"

After a said that a bloodthirsty smile apeared on my face.

"My goal from the very beginning was to destroy and assimilate with your power, i don't need a second consciousness in me."

After i said this i began to slowly walk to him.

".....this is imposible!"

"Then why are you afraid Gluttony?"

He tried to resist it was useless.

You see, we are currently in the mental space of Gluttony.

Only mental strength can be used here.

Even if he is level 0 his mental strength should be higher than mine, at least this should have been the case.

To increase mental strength you have to either live a lot of years and experience things.

Or you may level up skills.

Most people forget that leveling up skills practically gives you years worth of experience.

Every time a skill levels up, it gives years worth of experience to your mind, soul and body, this is also what the goddess meant that i would die if i were to level up 'Art', my mind, soul and body can't fit any more years of experience in them and would explode.

The Art skill is the combination of all basic form of arts and instruments.

The drawback of this skill is that normaly a skill like 'singing' should have 10 levels but this one has 10 tiers and 10 levels.

I would take a lot longer to get all knowledge about singing with this skill.

It might look like a bad deal, but if you think that for each level i increase my 'Art' skill i would get 1/100 of all knowledge that has to do with basic art, then it's obvious that this skill is OP as hell.

Now that my mind, body and soul have experienced 1/100 of all basic art, they can be considered very strong, together with the fact that Gluttony is currently weakened made me win easily.

I put my hand on his head.

"Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit"

Before he could answer, i crushed his head.

The moment i crushed his head, his body became black dust, this is what i am here for, this is the essence of gluttony.

Before the dust could run away i used my maxed skill gluttony.

Max level gluttony has the ability to produce suction force to any place of your body you desire.

When something comes into contact with your skin you may melt, purify and absorb it.

Thus the black dust was not even able to run before i sucked everything up.

After i absorbed everything, i used gluttony again.

This time, something like black smoke was created on my hand, when i threw it at the tablet it became big enough to fit the entire table and melted everything before disappearing.

Even though i didn't touch or spend any extra mana, i felt that i had completely absorbed everything.

[Ding]

[User now has unique skill: gluttony]

[Unique gluttony: You can absorb everything perfectly, all waste will be destroyed.

Mana can be used to create Gluttonus aura which can be used in every way the user may desire.

The strength of Gluttonus aura depends on the level of the user.

Whatever Gluttonus aura absorbs will be sent to the user instantly.]

[Ding]

[The user has fully absorbed Gluttony, the full potential of gluttony has been unleashed]

[Unique Gluttony may now absorb skills]

[You have 1 of the 7 Unique seven deadly sins skills, stat points per level plus 15, due to players unique job, user will now get 7 stat points in everything per level.]

[User has now reached 7 stat points in everything per level, this is the max stat point one can get.]

[Ding]

[Challenge has been completed, user's consciousness is now returning]

When i heard all the notifications i couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hehehe, it turn out i was right!"

And with that thought my vision went black, again.
