Chapter Index

    It’s already been four hours since the intruder left the church after going on a rampage.

    Quang!

    After hearing the priests’ reports spread throughout the upper floors, Jeong-Won was indignant, hitting the desk with his fist.

    “You mean you still haven’t found it!”

    “S-sorry.”

    “It’s already been three hours since he left the church! But I still can’t find it?!”

    More than a hundred priests left the church to search for intruders.

    Four hours is enough time for a hundred priests to overthrow the entire upper echelon.

    Still, the fact that he couldn’t even find a single witness, let alone the guy, was enough to make him anxious.

    ‘Have you escaped already? No, that can’t be… !’

    That can’t be possible.

    The first thing he did when he learned there was an intruder in the church building was to contact the black market manager and close the only exit to the upper floors.

    Because of this, everyone in the upper floors is unable to go out.

    In the meantime, there was no way the intruder could easily escape alone!

    “damn… !”

    Time is running out.

    “Open the door right now, you bastard!”

    “Do you want to see the church destroyed? uh?!”

    The number of people complaining to them began to increase.

    If the passage continues to be closed like this, there is no telling when those who are pouring out their complaints will attack in a violent attack.

    He gave his final instructions to the priest in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

    “30 minutes from now… , Find the guy in there.”

    “Yes, old… !”

    The priest rushes out and the garden sits on a chair and sighs deeply.

    While he explodes with anger like an active volcano.

    The short-built man, whose entire body was covered in black armor, was bursting with cold anger.

    Grumble

    Blood has caked on the sword stuck in the wall at the end of the hallway.

    Even though it was clearly thrown at the head, the opponent dodged it as if he had eyes in the back of his head.

    Thanks to that, all I got was a small cut on my shoulder.

    “… … .”

    He cooled his boiling anger by stroking his still throbbing chest.

    Even though it was only a shallow cut on the shoulder, I received a generous reward.

    The moment he saw the blue flash of sparks running past, he felt it.

    ‘death.’

    A vivid death approaching me.

    If I hadn’t been able to protect myself with magical power in my armor, I would have definitely not escaped death.

    It was my first time.

    The person who gave me fear even for a moment.

    That’s why he intentionally hid it.

    The presence of blood drops on my sword.

    “… “I’m looking for it.”

    I heard that among the awakened, there are some who use blood to find its owner.

    If I ask them, I will be able to meet the owner of the blood on my sword.

    However, that meeting had to take place alone with him.

    ‘kill.’

    Because the fear and shame engraved in my heart can only be erased by facing it alone.

    I vowed that I would definitely find him and kill him with my own hands.

    Clap

    He carefully placed the blood-stained sword into its scabbard.

    * * *

    In a church where worry, anxiety, and hot and cold anger were all mixed and swirling, Son Si-woo was the only one who was carefree.

    No, it was made carefree.

    “Hehe… “Don’t worry too much.”

    Michelle.

    She, one of the four paladins who will assist Son Si-woo in the future, is comforting him.

    Even the heavy armor was thrown away.

    She constantly talks about showing off her attractive body.

    “You will never suffer any loss due to this incident.”

    “I guess so.”

    He answered calmly.

    Rather than pretending to be bold and hiding his worries in front of a woman, he was truly thinking that way.

    At first, I was very worried inside.

    Could it be that everything we have built so far will collapse because of this incident?

    However, it soon calmed down.

    I began to think differently as I felt secure with Michelle’s ample breasts tightly hugging my arm.

    He was sure.

    ‘There will be no cracks in my image due to this incident.’

    The intruder only heard a few words of conversation between himself and the garden and then ran away.

    Based on that, my image will not be damaged even if I talk about it on the Internet or on TV.

    No, it cannot be broken to that extent.

    While living as Son Si-woo, he clearly realized this.

    The image of a national hunter, built up by risking his life for decades and fighting, is several times stronger and stronger than others think.

    Secret conversations with a cult priest?

    ‘Just refute it and that’s it.’

    Just saying no is enough.

    The media, no, the entire Republic of Korea is favorable to him.

    People who are swept up in various gossip, reporters who claim their right to know, large corporations that feed the country, and even the government that leads the country.

    That’s how much power the name Son Si-woo has in this land.

    To exaggerate a bit, if the original owner of this body had any bad intentions, the entire Republic of Korea could have become a cartel for him.

    ‘There’s nothing to worry about.’

    So don’t worry.

    No, you shouldn’t.

    because.

    ‘Because I’m a loser.’

    Because I have to do that in order to live as Son Si-woo.

    So we still need to be a little bolder.

    With tears in my eyes, I get up and take Michelle’s voluptuous body off my arm.

    Then he looks down at her with a rather heavy gaze and opens his mouth.

    “All four of you should come to the guild by tomorrow afternoon.”

    “If it’s a guild… ?”

    “If you want to move with me, you have to at least join a guild.”

    “Ah yes. “That should be it.”

    “And tell it to the garden priest.”

    “what… .”

    reminds me of

    I saw Son Si-woo’s angry expression on the Internet.

    I put it all on my face and continued speaking.

    “This kind of thing… “It shouldn’t happen twice.”

    In a way, it’s a bluff.

    However, the extremely hard body surrounding the weak spirit made it seem infinitely sincere to Michelle, who accepted it.

    “yes yes… , I will definitely tell you that.”

    Michelle shook her head as she answered with a trembling voice.

    It doesn’t feel too bad.

    The feeling of seeing someone’s eyes looking up at you filled with fear.

    No, honestly, I feel good.

    ‘Did they do that too?’

    It reminds me of the people who bullied me.

    Kim Jeong-hoon and his group made him run errands for bread every day, took money from him, and beat him up.

    Did they feel this way when they looked up at themselves with fear in their eyes?

    Is that why he harassed me even more viciously and persistently?

    “flaw… .”

    Son Si-woo lets out a helpless laugh.

    I don’t know.

    I don’t even want to know.

    However, I know one thing for sure.

    I would rather die than die, and I don’t want to go back to the days when I couldn’t even resist anymore and just suffered.

    I will somehow overcome the crisis and get what I want.

    Whether it’s Han Joo-hee or Myeongseong.

    ‘It’s all mine.’

    To that end, he is ready to do anything.

    No, I have just finished preparing my mind for that.

    * * *

    From leaving the black market to getting home.

    One word mentioned in their conversation runs through my mind.

    “Invidia… .”

    If you search for this on the Internet, you will find the following:

    【The long-awaited release of ZTX 9,000 units! Will the rebound succeed this time?】

    【Has the 9,000-series ZTX, released after the 8,000-series failure of all time, been sharpened?】

    The first thing that appeared was a crazy graphics card company that goes back and forth between heaven and hell every time a product is released.

    Attention is being paid to whether the chairman of Taiwan’s Hwang family, who was called the Hwang family when he released the 8,000th series last year as an all-time failure, will be able to regain his honor.

    “What is that damn graphics card…” .”

    Well, it’s not that I don’t understand.

    It feels bad when the product you’ve been waiting for turns out to be worse than expected, because it’s a common psychology for everyone.

    “Not this.”

    But it wasn’t the information I was looking for.

    From then on, every time I turn the page, a lot of different things pop out.

    Short dramas, animations, etc. that came out in the distant past.

    Then, the dictionary meaning written on the language dictionary tab I clicked without thinking caught my attention.

    “Envy, jealousy… ?”

    Was it Latin, not English?

    The thought of hating and worrying about other people’s success as if it were one’s own loss.

    and.

    “One of the Seven Deadly Sins… .”

    It’s a word I’ve heard before.

    Seven sins defined by Christianity in the past.

    I understand that the Vatican Orthodox Church, which has become mainstream since the launch of the Hunter Society, is also promoting a doctrine using this.

    Of course, not as an external doctrine, but in the form of norms that must be observed as priests.

    Usually, things are designated as things one must never do in order to become a priest who serves God.

    Of course, whether they really observe all seven sins… , well.

    “You must have seen so many rotten people.”

    There are quite a few priests who ask for money in exchange for helping them conquer dungeons.

    Isn’t being greedy for money an act that goes against doctrine?

    “Seven deadly sins… .”

    I think that the invidia they are talking about probably means jealousy, one of the seven deadly sins.

    Go to the site linked to the word and look at the seven types of sins.

    Pride (Superbia), stinginess (Avaritia), jealousy (Invidia), anger (Ira), lust (Luxuria), sloth (Pigritia).

    and… .

    “Greed (Gula).”

    The moment I said the last word, the fragments of memories that had fallen in my mind began to come together.

    Invidia means jealousy, one of the seven deadly sins.

    And even the sub-characteristic called gluttony that was given to me.

    Considering that greed, one of the seven deadly sins, is also called gluttony or gluttony, two of the seven sins have already appeared before me.

    The last fragment of memory that comes to mind next.

    “Face to face.”

    504 ‘people with qualifications’ gathered in one place.

    And there were seven chairs with special power.

    As I come to that point, an eerie thought passes through my head.

    “perhaps… .”

    Perhaps the qualities possessed by the 504 people, including me, are deeply related to the Seven Deadly Sins.
