nThousands of people had gathered in the square, waiting for one event.

nToday would be the execution of the most dangerous criminal in the history of the

"Empire of Heavenly Pearls

".

nWrapped in thick chains, Evan looked calmly at the crowd before him. His face was completely unemotional, and his gaze was incredibly cold. He despised each of these people, as well as the whole rotten world.

n.

nEvan had no regrets. He had committed the worst crime imaginable. It was also his greatest accomplishment.

nHe was sentenced to execution by the

"Heavenly Thunder

". It was a capital punishment designed especially for him.

nThe clouds had already thickened over the square. Very soon, the punishment would come upon Evan and his life would be cut short.

nNo one smiled or showed joy. Evan was an incredibly strong man. One of his looks was enough to keep the whole crowd in fear. And the pressure that came from him terrified everyone in the square.

nAfter the verdict was pronounced, a bright light gathered at one point and there was a deafening explosion. A furious roar could be heard in the sky, echoing for dozens of kilometers.

nBam.

nA devastating, snow-white lightning bolt in the shape of a dragon struck Evan. It swallowed him whole. After that, Evan's body slowly fell to the ground.

nAt that very moment, the life of the greatest sinner was over.

n...

n

"Hey! Wake up, mealtime.

"

n Evan was awakened by the loud voice of the guard. He looked around and realized he was wearing tattered clothes and was in a dirty cell.

nBut, most importantly, he was not in his body. As soon as Evan realized this, his head began to explode with pain.

nA multitude of memory fragments began to fill his head. It wasn't until a few minutes later that he was able to come to his senses.

nEvan sighed heavily.

n The name of the previous owner of the body was Trevor, he was nineteen years old. Evan had learned this and much more, by going through the memories of a young man who had only recently been alive.

nWhen he put his thoughts in order, he saw a bowl of some cold and unpleasant-looking porridge in front of him.

nEvan didn`t want to eat such disgusting food, but at that moment he simply had no other choice. His body was very skinny and weak. He needed at least some food to gain strength.

nAs soon as he finished his meal, another guard came up to his cell. He opened the cage and told Evan to follow him.

nEvan didn`t resist. Naturally, he wasn't going to stay in that prison for long. But at that moment, he was too weak to fight back.

nAfter a few minutes, he was led to the other slaves. After which they were all sent to mine ore in a nearby mine.

n...

nSwing.

nEach swing of the pickaxe was difficult for Evan. He had never felt so weak before.

nAfter a few hours of work, his hands were completely numb, but he kept working. After all, anyone who allowed himself to rest was beaten with a whip.

nAfter a couple of hours, all the slaves were gathered together and sent to the canteen. From the memories of the body's past owner, Evan learned that this was the only time when it was possible to have a proper meal. He just couldn't pass up that chance, he needed food and energy.

nUpon reaching the canteen, Evan sat down at the very corner, to avoid unnecessary trouble. He took his portion and quietly began to eat. But no sooner had he eaten half of it, than a huge, muscular, middle-aged man approached him.

nEvan immediately realized who it was. The man in front of him was called John, and he was known for taking food from the weak and making them do his work.

n

"Trevor, buddy, will you share with me?

" John smiled weakly, and his voice was pleasant and friendly.

n

"Fuck off.

" Evan wasn't going to talk to him, and just kept eating.

nSuch a rude response made John frown heavily, and quickly attacked Evan.

nEvan had expected something like this to happen, so he easily dodged his punch.

n Evan wasn't sure if he could beat John, but he had to try. If his food was taken away from him, it would be like agreeing to stay here forever.

nEvan was surprised that no one was paying attention to their skirmish. Not the prisoners, not the guards, it seemed to be a very common occurrence.

n

"Hey, you!

" Seeing that Evan dodged his attack, John became very angry and began to strike with all his might. Before, he just wanted to teach him a lesson, but now he was ready to kill Evan!

nEven though John was rarely weak by Evan's standards, it was Evan, who was at a disadvantage right now. He dodged every punch and tried to attack. But his blows did little or no damage to John. It was at that moment that Evan decided to take his chances.

n Thanks to Trevor's memories, Evan knew that fighting in prison was not punishable in any way. Nevertheless, murder was a different story, but at that time it didn't bother him at all.

nJohn kept swinging his massive fists, and Evan easily dodged every punch. Eventually, John began to tire. He was big and strong, but his endurance wasn`t enough.

nEvan noticed this, and decided it was time to act. If not to deal with this situation now, he might die next time. Evan once again dodged John's blow, now it was a bit slower.

nWhoosh.

nSuddenly Evan grabbed a wooden chair and smashed it over his opponent's head.

nBam.

n

"You, bitch!

" John was still on his feet, even as his entire head was covered in blood. In a rage, John unleashed a whole hail of blows on him, but Evan's aim was quite different.

nHe grabbed a broken chair leg and drove it with all his might right into John's throat.

nWhoosh.

nThe man vomited out a full mouth of blood, and fell to the ground exhausted. He had no chance of survival.

nThe prisoners and guards looked at Evan with a shocked expression on their faces.

nBut he wasn't interested. Evan simply went back to his table and continued eating. At that moment, he saw one of the guards run off somewhere. He understood that he was likely to be in trouble.

nSo, Evan decided not to waste any time, quickly finished his meal and started on John's portions.

nHe didn't care who he had taken them from, he wasn't going to give them back to anyone. After killing John, no one would bother him.

nA few minutes later, a tall man with long black hair came into the canteen. He walked slowly toward Evan.

nEvan knew who this man was. His name was Aron, and he was one of the wardens. His favorite pastime was beating slaves for any misconduct.

nAron leisurely walked up to Evan's table, and said harshly:

"Bastard, don't you want to explain yourself?! Who allowed you to kill our slave?!

"

nEvan looked at him and calmly said:

"I want to tell you, this is the **tiest food I've ever seen.

"

nAron's face turned red, and he quickly attacked Evan. Surprisingly, the blow was very fast. Because of this, Evan was unable to dodge and flew back several meters, coughing up blood.

n

"I give you one last chance, get down on your knees right down and beg me for mercy!

" But, his words had no effect. Evan struggled to his feet and spat blood at the warden's direction.

nFrom such insolence Aron even angrier and instantly got in front of Evan.

nBam.

nAron kicked him right in the chest. The blow broke several of Evan's ribs. He was on the verge of death.

nSuddenly the voice of one of the prisoners rang out:

"Trevor, don't be an idiot, don't make such a mistake! Get on your knees and apologize.

"

nEvan didn't know the man, but his words reminded him of something important.

nHe gathered what little strength he had left, and with great difficulty got to his feet. There was only one thing on his mind at that moment.

n

nThe real Evan was thinking about something else:

nEvan finally decided for himself that even if it cost him his life, he wouldn't bow his head!

nHe looked at Aron and said with the last of his strength:

"Fuck you!

" while showing his middle finger.

nSeeing this, Aron just lost his temper and hit Evan, after which, it seemed there was no way for him to survive.

n...

nThe Sin –

"Pride

" was opened

nYou have received Lion Sigil

nIn an instant, the whole world froze, and Evan felt an extraordinary surge of strength. In that moment, Aron felt like some bug trying to fight the sun that towers over all life.

nThen he saw a giant fist in front of him.

nSigh.

nEvan was breathing heavily, every muscle in his body insanely tense. But he felt great. Evan was full of strength and he felt as if he was above the whole world.

n

"Huh, even in this world I'm the greatest sinner.

" Said Evan with a slight smile on his face. He stared at the giant hole in the wall, with the big bloody stain in the middle of it.

n
