"Do you honestly think you can win? Why are you fighting a losing battle?
Don't you get tired?
Why are you so motivated?
Don't you get stressed out?" Sloth asked slowly. "I know you might have seen the future, but the future has many possibilities. "I've seen all, and there's never a future where we win. Where you win, Greed."
"Wow! Laziness itself tells me he's seen all possible futures. How do you expect me to believe that? Greed mocks.
You... who can't keep your eyes open for a minute?" The fact that the future keeps changing is enough to keep me going. I'll continue fighting for eternity until I reach a future where I win.
Sloth burst into laughter. "A sin being pessimistic about the future... isn't that ironic? Is this one of the effects of the third cycle?
"This time may be promising." Sloth said as his voice slowly fade.
Greed's memories synced with mine, and all his experiences flowed into me without him touching the statue.
"So... "
Lust raised her hand in recognition. I guess I'll become the first mood. Does anyone have a problem with that? After all, Greed darling promised me."
"Um, yes! First of all, why do you get to be the first mood? I clearly have been the one who always wanted to become the mood," Envy questioned. "Second, how did she get here?"
"Parasites squabbling for a place. It's cute," Pride said. "But it's already been decided that Lust is going to be the first mood in this era. You don't have a choice. Step down, you imbecile." Envy became more annoyed and left the room.
Lust became the mood, and my physical appearance changed drastically. My features became beautiful, despite being male, and my hair color turned pink, signifying Lust's colors.
It was a new week, and Lust took absolute control over my body. She went to school, and I/she became the center of attraction, pulling in females in the class with my demeanor and looks, most especially. Quilt and Amulet ate together with me, but I only talked to Amulet. I completely shunned Quilt, who asked me lots of questions. It was as if I didn't know him.
Lust, knowing well about Quilt, was given the mission to cut ties with Quilt because he might be a problem in the future, as advised by Sloth. That was my true mission as a mood in Will's body. I couldn't afford to lose the opportunity given to me as a mood. I could do whatever I wanted with this vessel, as long as I avoided that boy, Quilt. I thought
I went to clubs and casinos, flirted with a lot of girls, stole girlfriends, had a lot of affairs with different women, satiated my desires, and collected a lot of experiences. It was magnificent, Lust thought. Slowly, my friends became girls, exposed girls that were associated with different and sketchy activities. It suited me because of my lust. I had deserted Quilt and Amulet, who normally walked with me.
On the night before Lust as a mood expired, she, in control of my body, went to a big club. There, I flirted with a lady and seduced her by kissing her. Lust, knowing she belonged to the head of a big delinquent group, did this and made sure the boss saw this. He became furious and sent his men to beat me up. "Finally, some action!" Lust yelled in my psyche consciousness. It was time to see how this vessel fought with accumulated experience.
In the outside world, the gang attacked me, and my body moved on its own accord without the control of Lust or me. The party was busted, and people ran out as the gang members showed up periodically. I started fighting against ten gang members who were armed with knives and pistols. I one-tapped each one with incredible speed and brute strength, sending each one flying in different directions, some crashing into tables and others shattering drinks.
The gang still attacked me with knives, trying to spill my guts. I avoided them all and parried their attacks against each other. They stabbed and sliced each other. "I like this part," Lust took control of my body once more. She dodged a bit more and stopped dodging the daggers being swung at me. The gang members saw the opportunity, and they tried to stab and slice me, but it bounced off as if they hit a smooth metal surface.
My physical body had improved due to the presence of each greater psyche abilities. Mostly especially Pride,
Get the fuck out of there you morons!! A gang member yelled at the others who were still attacking me. He was holding a sub machine gun alongside with 5 others who held shotguns. I felt Pride, I knew those guns weren't enough to as make much damage on me. So I let them shoot.
They shot hurriedly and rapidly at me, destroying everything on sight- chairs tables all collapsed and destroyed due to their firearms.
'That's not enough! He should know he's not supposed to mess with the wrong group.' The bald man with the sub machine gun yelled and threw a small dynamite to bury me.
A few minutes after the gunshots, the police were already on their way, blowing their siren. Inside one of the van sat,Maestress Biondh. The Head of Police of Faeth City.
She's responsible for Stability of Peace in the city.
"Let's go boss". The police will soon be here.'' One of the Henchmen spoke.
'Im not leaving here until I confirmed that bastard is dead. That's what Mr Scope tells me to do. I can't leave until I bring that fool who smooched Scope's Woman. Else I'm dead meat.'
'Well...Boss we can't stick around here for too long. We got to leave.'
Another nameless henchmen spoke.
No one leaves here until we've seen that kid's dead body. The boss ordered
Soon, the siren wailing got closer and the cops were getting closer to the scene.
'Boss!! I'm leaving I can't get arrested here', a gang member turned around to leave
.
Bang!- A loud noise sounded loud enough to deal the ears. It had the sound of a gun. The henchmen who had intended on leaving stood without his head, blood gushed out from his neck. His head wasn't in sight.
'Didn't your boss tell you no one leaves?
I spoke as I stood up from the debris of brick and dirt.
