Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin

The announcement about Azekiel killing Michael reached all the Lord of Sins and the Kings as well, all of whom stopped what they were doing to make sure they heard correctly.

Inside one of the small tents, a chubby man was lazily resting in his bed when he heard the notification.

"Hmm? Michael died?" With a deep frown, the King of Sloth, Alioth, sat up. "A new King arrived?"

****

In another place, a blonde man was fighting a massive Dragon, holding nothing but a mighty sword. There was a beautiful white robe on his back that made him look like a handsome Prince. Despite the battle raging on for hours, there was not a single drop of blood on the white clothes of the young man.

Instead, it was the Dragon who was bleeding.

The dragon fell down after getting heavily wounded. He couldn't even move anymore.

The young man landed on the head of the Dragon as he prepared to deal the finishing blow when he heard the notification.

He raised his head towards the sky, frowning before thrusting his sword down, killing the Dragon.

He only muttered one word, "Azekiel..."

He was the King of Wrath, Lucifer.

A small orb of light flew out of the body of the Giant Dragon, which was absorbed by Lucifer, making him even stronger...

****

A young man had just finished his assault on a castle, taking it over. He straight went to the treasury with his men.

As soon as the treasury was opened, a beautiful smile spread across the lips of the man as he saw all the treasures.

p His smile disappeared abruptly as he saw the announcement.

"It's all ours. Collect it properly." The man commanded the Lords of Sins who worked for him before he turned to leave with a grim look on his face.

"Yes, My Lord, the King of Greed."

*****

"Michael is dead?" The King of Lust Liam sat up on his bed, surprised. He wasn't wearing any clothes, but he wasn't alone. There were three ladies on his bed, and none of them had any clothes on their bodies either.

****

"Tsk, if Michael had to die, couldn't he do it at my hands? He just had to go and die at the hands of a newbie? Now that newbie will get all the experience and the attention. That lucky bastard!" The King of Envy rolled his eyes, feeling incredibly jealous of the destiny of Azekiel.

*****

"Looks like we are famous now," Azekiel let out, glancing toward Michael. "I wonder if he heard this notification or not?"

"I don't feel like this is good news for us," Raphael commented.

"That's because it isn't," Azekiel agreed. "But I can see the positive side of it as well. It will give us some time. We will see how things go from here on."

Even though he was really furious about the schemes that two Kings had to pull to have him dead, he was also somewhat calm for some reason.

He knew that if Michael was a Phoenix, then Lucifer was a Dragon who was many times more dangerous. There was a reason Lucifer had cleared three floors in a row at the fastest time after all.

After killing Michael, Azekiel had gained four levels. However, despite all the boost, he didn't reach the level of Michael yet. Just because he had killed Michael didn't mean he was going to get enough experience to reach Michael's level, which even he understood by now. He wasn't even close.

Fortunately, the notifications weren't only about leveling up.  He also remembered seeing a Notification about his Weapon of Sin along with the passive skill he gained just now.

He was hurt because of the new information, but at the same time, he was pleased about something else. Finally! Finally, he had received his weapon of Sin!

Even though Michael wasn't the true origin that caused his death, he still played a big part in it. He deserved to die, according to Azekiel. Not only did he manage to take his revenge, but he also strengthened himself along the way. And as an added bonus, he also received his Weapon of Sin along the way.

He was quite eager to know what it was and wanted to check the weapon right away, but he didn't. He controlled himself. He still wasn't finished with Michael.

He calmed his head before focusing on Michael again. "The Prideful Michael, on the inside, you were also so pitiful that you played a henchman for Lucifer. You really don't deserve any respect. Still, I will take whatever I can."

Azekiel placed his hand on the chest of Michael and took a deep breath. He knew he was going to receive a lot of Soul Energy this time which was going to be like nothing he had ever received before. He was using Soul Snatch on a King, after all. No matter how scummy Michael was, he was still a King until he died.

"Soul Snatch!"  Azekiel commanded his system.

As soon as his command came, a pure white stream of energy started moving from the body of Michael into his body.

Within seconds, his soul bar was filled entirely, but the soul energy was still too much. The absorption still continued for some reason, even though there was no way for his bar to go up anymore.

After a long time, he finished as the stream of soul energy dried up.

[Soul Snatch Successful]

[Strength +50]

[Defense +50]

[Speed +50]

[Hunger +20]

[Attention: Soul Energy collected is more than the Limitation of Soul Bar. The excess Energy is also enough for one more Summon Contract. Do you want to use the excess Soul Energy to summon one more Familiar, or do you want to throw it away?]

[Summon]            [Throw Away]

"Summon a second Familiar? I thought all the excess energy would go to waste, but it seems when the excess energy is enough to summon another being, it isn't tossed away on its own. That's great. Also, what is this choice? If I could use that Soul Energy to summon someone, why would I toss it away?!"

Azekiel hastily clicked the Summon Button.

As soon as he pressed the button, the system screen disappeared. Instead, three beautiful cards appeared before him. It was the same as the time when he had received Raphael.

Azekiel couldn't help but wonder if he was going to get another help like Raphael. Was today his lucky day?

There was another choice before him. This time, there were three cards before him, all having different colors. One of the three cards was a beautiful shade of blue, while the other card was green. As for the third card, it was pure white this time.

"Raphael, any suggestions?" Azekiel asked Raphael. "It seems like we are receiving another company."

"I can't see anything." Raphael calmly responded.

"The Choice is between blue, green, and white. Since it's no more than a lucky draw, I want you to select a color. I've already seen my luck with getting you. Let's see your luck now. So, which one should I select? Blue, green or white?" Azekiel inquired.

"I don't think I should influence this decision. This is a choice for you. Please select yourself," Raphael calmly answered as he took a step back, not willing to interfere.

"Sigh, fine. I'll select." Azekiel reached out his hand and placed his hand on the first card, the card which was as blue as the clearest sky outside.

As he touched the blue card, all the other cards disappeared, leaving only the blue one behind, which was in Azekiel's hands.

The blue card became a reality. Azekiel slowly turned the card around to see what was in it...

As he saw what was on the card, his expressions became somewhat weird.
