Cheat Awakening

"Are you sure you want to know? But let me warn you, if you hear my story, you'll be tied to me. At least while you're here, in my world, you can't be with any other woman. No more touching any other female with lustful desire except my sister of course... Otherwise, believe me, we won't have this kind of peaceful conversation next time."

"So think carefully—is your curiosity worth the price? If you can't control your lower body, it could be very, very deadly for your health," The woman in black said with a playful face, before shaking her head in disappointment. She already knew Myne's answer just by seeing his weird expression, thinking she had scared him.

What she didn't realize, however, was that she had indeed surprised Myne with the eye-opening effect of her curse, which seems looking for a reliable and loyal husband for her more than trying to harm others. The true reason for his shock was something else entirely.

{ She is affected by a fragment of the gluttony demon, one of the seven sin demons of hell. }

{ Because of the effect of the fragment of the gluttony demon, as she becomes emotionally unstable or gets hurt too much, her hunger begins to grow crazily, she will lose her mind and become a mindless beast who only knows how to kill and devour. }

{ During her berserk state, her strength increases greatly with each passing minute, and she becomes more and more crazed until she kills every living being within her sight and starts devouring them to fill her bottomless stomach and calm her eternal hunger. }

{ The curse is transmissible, and the more someone knows about it, the more you will become involved in it. In the end, the curse will trap you as well. However, it is not completely inescapable for those who are not the main host of the gluttony demon fragment, and it can be removed by a special sacrificial ceremony. }

{ Method: Step one: The Statue: Build a small statue of the gluttony demon from flesh and blood. (A fatty with a super big mouth and a balloon-like stomach that covers 70% of his body, and very small legs and arms.)

Step Two: The Altar: Create an altar from bones, and make sure it is solid enough, as you will have to make many sacrifices there later. Also, carve a circle with a giant tongue surrounded by dense teeth in the centre, using blood.

Step Three: Attracting Attention: Bake a loaf with tear-soaked flour and offer it to the statue. Then capture 13 live rats, tie their tails together (creating a "Rat King"), and drown them in hot cooking oil, little by little. Their painful squeaks must sound like laughter as they die.

The Final Step: The Grand Feast: One by one, sacrifice a total of a hundred beings on the altar.

Complete all those steps, and you will be able to get rid of the curse. }

That's it? I thought it would be some kind of big deal. At least for me, it's not much of a problem. But sadly, my ability didn't tell me how to get rid of her curse. Otherwise, I could definitely win her heart in one fell swoop.

However, she doesn't seem like someone I should mess with. She is very protective and doesn't like to share her man with other women, which is also a red flag for me. Anyway, at least now I have one more way to che... I mean, win her trust.

Myne thought with a smile, coming beside the woman in black who was serving breakfast. The food looked like it was prepared for ghosts, and no being could survive after eating it. Clearly, cooking was not her forte.

"Did you think I'm some kind of playboy who can't stay loyal to one woman? If so, then you disappoint me greatly, both you and your sister. Now you leave me no other option but to accept you wholeheartedly and get cursed, in order to prove my innocence."

Saying that, he looked into her dark, dumbfounded eyes, grabbed her shoulders, gave her a tight hug, while gently squeezing her bountiful bottom, and continued, "So, please let me be a part of your life, and tell me everything you want."

"I don't give a damn about any curse. It can't be more scary than your food," He joked as he pulled her out of the hug. Seeing her expressionless face, he knew he shouldn't have commented on her food, which seemed to be rubbing salt in her wounds.

"Sorry, I just..."

"If you don't want to be boiled alive, sit and eat... everything," She said coldly, grabbing Myne's neck and placing the tip of her knife right on top of his groin. She was not in the mood for jokes.

"Okay, okay," Myne gave in fearfully and sat down under her deadly gaze. He looked at the inky dark liquid in the bowl, which was supposed to be soup, but no matter how much Myne convinced himself, he couldn't connect the weird liquid with the word "edible."

{ Highly Toxic Homemade Poison: Have effects of paralyzing the body, causing hallucinations, and possessing slight acidic properties. Not recommended to eat under any circumstances. }

Reading the warning on the soup, Myne's hands trembled. If he had his regeneration skill, he might have been able to bite the bullet and eat this poison before him, suffering only a few minutes of discomfort at worst. However, in this world, where recovery from injuries was difficult as hell, he didn't want to take any risks, especially not to please someone by consuming poison knowingly.

So, even with someone standing beside him, a knife pressed to his neck, he had no intention of picking up the spoon and committing suicide.

"Why aren't you eating?" The woman in black had assumed that just to please her and correct his mistake, Myne would take at least one bite of the soup she'd prepared, and say something nice, even if he was just spouting nonsense, she didn't mind. It was all she wanted.

But seeing his refusal, she couldn't help but grow angry. Her temper was nothing like her sister, the woman in red. In fact, the fact that she hadn't sliced Myne to pieces the moment he entered the house—after cheating on them—was already the first time she'd ever tolerated someone to this extent. Otherwise, killing someone like an ant for fun was part of her daily routine.

"Because no matter how angry you are, what you've made is definitely something my body can't handle. I have the ability to check the properties of any object, and right now, that ability is frantically warning me that if I eat this thing that you call food, your sister will become a widow for sure. Don't tell me you're willing to sacrifice your dear sister's happiness just to satisfy your ego."

Myne, unable to come up with an excuse, bluntly told the truth. He had read her inner thoughts and knew she had no intention of killing him. At most, he would be beaten, which was far better than being poisoned with something the other party lacked an antidote for.

The woman in black stared at Myne coldly for a full minute before letting out an angry snort and releasing his neck. She picked up the pot of soup and threw it on the ground in frustration.

Then, she did the same with the rest of the utensils in the kitchen. But these actions were far from calming her anger.

Just when Myne thought he was safe and she would calm down after venting, she gave him a fierce gaze, like a predator eyeing its prey, approached him, grabbed the back of his neck without a word, and dragged him out of the kitchen.

"Hey! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"

Shocked by her strange behaviour, Myne exclaimed, trying to break free from her grip. Surprisingly, his fourfold strength, his greatest asset in this world until now, had no effect. It was like a toddler struggling in the hands of an adult with an insurmountable strength difference.

Damn it, how the hell did she become so powerful all of a sudden? Don't tell me different personalities have different strengths.

After exhausting all options and realizing nothing worked, Myne finally gave in, letting her drag him wherever she pleased. But in his mind, he couldn't help but feel unnerved by her strange ability—or curse—whatever it was. Not only could it switch between multiple personalities in one body, but each personality seemed to possess different levels of strength.

However, Myne's unease lasted only until they left the kitchen. Then, it turned into delight when he realized they were heading toward the bedroom. Even an idiot who'd never touched a woman in his life would recognize this situation: an angry woman alone with a man, unable to vent her frustration properly. Unless he was stupid beyond words, or gay, he knew exactly where the script was headed.

Kicking open the bedroom door, the woman in black dragged Myne to the bathroom, threw him under the shower, and turned it on expressionlessly. Then, she took off her black, sexy nightgown, revealing her nearly perfect snow-white, hairless hourglass figure, with firm, round D-cup breasts, and a large, curvaceous bottom.

Letting Myne stare at her naked body, and seeing him dumbfounded and instantly charmed by her beauty, she nodded with satisfaction, walked seductively toward the bathtub, lay down with only her head out, and gave him a playful, teasing smile.
