CHAPTER 46

"Two plates Fried Rice !", the waiter shouted.

"Yes, Coming up !", Gluttony shouted back. He was the chef at his own restaurant, which was like a cafe. His name back then was Igris. He had his shop in the urban area of the Clover Kingdom and fed the people who were in a hurry to go to work in this period of industrialisation.

"The food is as good as it used to be !" , a customer said. Igris was very happy with his life. He loved cooking and also had a talent for it. But more importantly, he loved the smile on people's faces when he fed them.

Also, Gluttony loved food. He also used to eat a lot. His tongue could sense all the ingredients used in the dish, which was an indispensable talent for a chef.

One day, the governmental officers came to the restaurant to make it shut down. They wanted to make the whole area into an office. But Igris was very innocent at that time and didn't get why this was happening. He did not feel anger towards Officials, as it was their job.

As a result, he wanted to now make another restaurant. So he sold this restaurant and bought another restaurant. In the end, The restaurant was broken down and another restaurant built there. People slowly stopped coming to their restaurant, and shifted to the new shop which Igris made.

Slowly, Gluttony figured out that a competitor shop wanted to close that guy down, and had failed to do so with that tactic. The competitor shop had many connections with the higher government, so it explained his actions.

Unsurprisingly, the officials came for him again, but this time filed a false case against him. He was tried in the court and lost the case, and was thrown in jail.

All Igris wanted was to feed people and eat tasty food. In the jail, he was bullied and did not get food at all. And the person, the food competitor also assigned the police to give him the worst food possible. Then, the voice came in, and he became able to create something out of nothing. Due to the ability being overpowered, he has an insane backlash. With every creation, the pain involved is insane. The muscles start aching and the whole body intense pain all over.

"I was really scared when I created food out of nowhere after that voice agreed.", said Gluttony. "But then, the pain started and I started screaming, and the guards saw the food and me screaming in pain. But they just took that food away and left in pain.", Gluttony said.

"You had it rough ! How long does the pain last ?", Arata asked him.

"For 343 seconds.", Gluttony said.

Arata could feel that Gluttony had become immune to this pain now, although he can't imagine how much he would have suffered. He experimented with himself also.

"What about Wrath and Envy ? What are their backlashes ?", Rachel asked.

"Well, mine is obvious. I get electrocuted.", Wrath said. So the lightning he brought, also affected him but it would be a tad bit less than the actual.

"And I can't touch animals. So, I can't even become a zoologist. When I touch them, my skin starts burning and ripping off. Ever since that day when I tried talking to the sparrow and attempted to touch it, my skin started to burn before I reached and I couldn't touch it.", Envy said.

Looks like the voice is also quite a nihilistic thing. He literally took our lifespans !

"How is Solork ?", Gluttony asked.

"He is alright. He has become a distinguished Transmuter. That reminds me ..", Arata took out the Transmuter scroll. Then Arata told Gluttony about how he became a summoner and Enhancer, and asked him how to become a transmuter.
