CHAPTER 16: Trial

[The skills [Sin eater], [Virtue eater], [Devour], and [Soul eater] have successfully evolved into Ultimate divine skill [Beelzebub] for 90 skill points.]

[You have awakened the Gula's Demon Dragon Beelzebub.]

All of a sudden everything went dark, as if I was on a dark abyss, I couldn't really understand what was going on. There was nothing, completely dark, until two eyes appeared in the darkness.

"Who dares to wake me from my long sleep?!" Then eyes turned to me.

"Hmm? It's a hybrid. It means that you carry both a Dragon of Heavenly virtue and a Mortal Sin, and you have brought forth the necessary things for my soul from this cultivation thing. Interesting. And in this blue thing in front of me, I had to give you the true skill of gluttony. It's also the skill I use as my own step. I've been sleeping for a long time and I think it might be quite interesting to give you this. But first you have to pass my trial."

"Can I ask what kind of trial is this?"

"You have to beat the Gluttony."

"Huh?"

"You have to beat the Gluttony."

"I heard when you first said."

"Then why do you ask?"

"What it that mean beating the gluttony?"

"You have to overcome your gluttony, your hunger. You will overcome your hunger in this trial, you will be hungry for everything. Do not forget that gluttony is the most dangerous sin. Your sanity and your soul are all a target by gluttony. Throughout this trial, you will be hungry for everything, sexual hunger, physical hunger, hunger for love, hunger for power and many more, and if gluttony finds the slightest weakness in you, it will use it and if you lose you will not die, but you will turn into a monster that wants to eat anything that comes your way. You will forget your self, you will forget your loved ones, everything, and all you want is to eat everything."

"Can I refuse this trial?"

"Impossible. So look at me."

[Trial Begins]

As soon as I looked at Beelzebub, the system message popped up, but soon after, a suffocating pain and soreness appeared, my throat was dry, as if I hadn't eaten or drank anything for millions of years. I couldn't even speak.

I have never tasted anything so painful in my life. And it was growing. I just wanted to eat, even a small thing was enough, as long as there was something to eat. Even though only a few seconds had passed, it felt like years had passed.

'I want to see Anna.'

"Young dragon hold on to the one you love! If you turn into a monster, how will that person feel, don't go through what I went through! You have two choices on the path of power, either you stick to your friends and loved ones and get stronger to protect them, or you distance yourself from everyone and become a strong but lonely person, don't choose my choices, kid! There are people you love, hold on to them! Don't make the same mistake like I did! Do not fall into this sad fate that I live." Beelzebub said.

'I don't know why I said this, but I don't want this kid to be like me. Although he is feared by the masses, he will be fine as long as there are those who love him. He doesn't need to live a lonely and painful life away from everyone during my reign like I did.'

'He is right. I promised Anna that I would come to her clan and announce that Anna belongs to me only and forever. I can't give up right now. That's right, I'm hungry. I'm hungry for love, sex, friends, family, power! I'm hungry for all of them! And I can't stand this hunger anymore, I'll even eat the gluttony itself! I will not hold back, this sin will be entirely mine! I'm hungry for sins and virtues! As long as my family, friends and loved ones are with me, whether it's karma or fate, I'll eat them all!'

A strange phenomenon occurred, and suddenly the space around them began to crack and everything began to whirl around Drake like a storm.

"[Gabriel]!" Those words came out of his mouth before Drake noticed.

'What is this boy doing? And did he just say Gabriel? Or is he planning to cultivate here? Is this kid crazy!?'

'Wait a minute, why didn't I think of this, this kid is actually a genius. The virtue of patience works best in such situations that will constantly disturb the person. And by eating everything in this environment, it strengthens its gluttony. Not only does he solidify his current upbringing, he also strengthens his foundations. This boy is truly a genius and I can't let such a genius get lost. I finally found an heir. His evolution is very low so I'm going to put this thing to sleep in his body for now.'

"I'll be watching you, young dragon. Show me the limits of gluttony that even I can't see."

Immediately after, a green ball of light entered Drake's body from Beelzebub and Beelzebub disappeared.

At that time, Drake was in a trance state. He had closed his senses in order to eat everything around him with a calm mind, and so he hadn't noticed anything, including Beelzebub's departure. But there were some things inside that he noticed. He could feel Gabriel improving. His thoughts were racing faster, but he couldn't panic. It was like a skill leveling up, but he couldn't explain it.

----------------------------------------------

Unknowingly, Drake ate everything in that space to the tiniest bit, including space. And time went on and Drake didn't realize it, but it took 2 weeks.

After two weeks, Drake opened his eyes. He was no longer in that area, he was back in the cave. System messages were starting to appear.

*Boooommmm!!!!

Suddenly there was an explosion, and there was a slight shaking in the cave. But I immediately thought of my house above.

In my dragon form, I rushed to the entrance of the cave at full speed, but it was too late, my entire cave had collapsed.

'Damn! Who demolished my cave!'

The main reason for my anger was that this cave had no moral value for me. Because I made my first time with Anna in this cave and Anna and I declared our love for each other here.

"Hahahaahahahahah...!! You wouldn't die if you agreed to be one of this young master's wives, but if you can't be mine, you deserve to die."

All of a sudden I heard an annoying laugh, and in the rubble lay a beautiful girl with some torn clothes on. The girl's heart was beating and her dantian was intact, so she was not dead or crippled.

'Have you found my cave when there is so much of the world for your love fight!?'
