"Well, this is weird. I thought I was going to fight in some kind of challenge after reading the beginning of that message…" Jason muttered in surprise.
He was currently sitting on a leather chair and food kept appearing in front of him. No matter how much he ate, Jason didn’t feel full.
According to the system, his only goal was to keep eating until he couldn’t do it anymore.
’I wish the challenges I face in the future are as relaxing as this one.’

"How many minutes have passed by since the ring touched him?" Diana asked in an anxious tone.
"Almost seven minutes," Manny replied calmly. "If anything had to go wrong by now, it would have already happened so there is no need to worry."
"Still… Most demons cough blood after reaching the two minute mark. Even the members of your family can barely last up to six minutes." Diana pointed out.
"Don’t forget Jason is no normal demon. He is only half-demon with the blood of the Nightshade family running through his veins. They are the major branch of the family which descended from the Shadowstone bloodline." Manny reminded.
The two discussed a few things like this before quietly looking at Jason. The silver-haired teenager had broken something similar to a world record for surviving the longest after being hit by the silver ring.
Another two minutes passed by in this manner before Jason’s eyes started fluttering.
"Ten minutes," Manny announced. "He is officially the fourth person in the past decade to survive more than ten minutes."
Seconds after he had said those words, Jason’s eyes flew open. He looked around with a surprised expression before standing up from the ground.
"What the hell that was that?"
"Its a sort of test put up by this ring." Manny explained as the silver ring flew to his hand. The ring automatically slid on his right ring finger and stayed there. "All the sins have this ring that mostly stays with them."
Jason’s eyes immediately went to Amon’s hand which held a similar silver ring, except with a different pattern.
Xavier and Diana also had the same kind of rings but the other sins didn’t have them.
"These rings have a small amount of consciousness and have been with all the previous sins," Juliana informed. "They were personally crafted for the first seven deadly sins."
"How did the sins came to be?" Amber asked curiously. "I have always wondered how the first of you came together."
"It is said that the first demon king on the world of Clover gathered seven cursed figures and gave each of them a ring that will allow them to control their cursed abilities. The seven people were then able to live a normal life as long as they wore the rings.
They were indebted to the king and became his subordinates. Those were the seven sins and the moment they took the rings off and decided to fight someone at full strength, their cursed abilities would get out.
Later on these families met the son of the demon king, who is known as Aiden Shadowstone. Many think he is the first demon king but they are wrong.
Aiden gave some of his blood to all the seven sins and told them it would act as a divinity and an ulterior protection that will allow them to control their powers easily even after removing the ring." Diana paused and pointed towards the hands of the sins without rings.
"That is why we can move freely without wearing the ring. Though it does not have any side effects, it feels like a tint amount of pressure is weighing us down." Koro sighed.
"Anyways, that blood is still present inside us. Aiden also had three children, one of which was the founder of the Nightshade bloodline, your bloodline.

Also all the sins have always been born into their respective bloodlines so I guess you are related to all of us in a way." Manny informed.
’You were right. It was due to my bloodline that I was feeling this connection.’ Jason said to the system.
[ Thank you. ]
"Also, there is something else that you should know." Diana faked cough. "Lucius is related to you as well."
"Isn’t that true for all of the sins?" Jason asked.
"It is but Lucius is... well he is a member of the Nightshade family." Juliana sighed. "He is your mother’s real brother."
Jason almost choked on plain air when he heard the revelation.
The demon king was his uncle, literally.
’I have way too many overpowered family members...’ Jason sighed.
The list of overpowered people in his family kept on expanding. At this point, Jason was left wondering why his family even had any problems to begin with.
"Lot of restrictions. Responsibilities. Heartbreaks. Many sad things. Wait for future. You will. See it. Too." Xavier whispered as though he had read Jason’s mind.
"I know..." Jason replied in a low tone because compared to what the others had suffered, he was still at a lower level.
"Anyways, welcome to the manor of gluttony. Feel free to order anything aloud and that food will appear in front of you," Manny explained.

"Chocolate!" Koro said aloud in order to demonstrate it.
A bar of chocolate appeared in his hands which he slowly nibbled on.

Jason made no comments at that and simply asked for a donut. Eating a snack like that was the only thing he could use to process the shock he had received.
"I’ll bring Wade, stay here." Manny instructed before vanishing from his spot.
Jason and Amber didn’t pay much attention to that and simply kept on eating their food.
Manny reappeared alongside Wade after a few minutes.
"Hey," Jason greeted his classmate.
But before anyone could say or do anything, a cloud of darkness suddenly emerged out of Wade’s body.
And as all of them had guessed it, the cloud shot towards Jason..
