Within the depths of the Dark Abyssal Underground of the Realm of Helheim, there was the figure of a young human man. He was not dead, nor he was some sort of half-dead being.

He was a mere human.

A human with a power that seemed to transcend the gods themselves, a human that had once rebelled against the fate put over him.

A human whose original memories were once put inside a small caterpillar, for whatever reason.

Perhaps because when he was reincarnated in this world, he was able to quickly adapt, maybe…

The man chained in here… He was given the worst possible of fates and lost everything precious on his life.

When he lost it all, the only thing inside of his mind was the curse of the Sin he had been given for some reason.

A single and wicked desire…

"Devour…"

A single wicked desire that brought him to where he was now.

"Devour…"

He wanted to consume everything.

"I will… devour all of you…"

He wanted to devour all of those that did these things to him.

"I will devour everything…"

He wanted to devour everything…

"I will not stop until… Until…"

He had a will… And a reason why he devoured it all.

But…

"Until what?"

He had long forgotten what it was.

"Until… Until… Ah… Why…?"

He had a reason behind his rage, behind his berserk-like anger.

And it wasn't just the hate against the Gods.

There was something else within such an anger, within such hate, within such frustration, sorrow, melancholy, regret… and more.

There was something that fueled such an anger.

The only person that stood at his side after everything ended.

The light of his life, the sun of his day, the one that always stood at his side, even when everything went downhill.

Even when he was marked as the Realm Menace of Gluttony, and every single person he thought was his friend attempted to kill him to…"fulfill the will of the gods".

Amidst such suffering… Amidst such sorrow… and amidst such darkness of a wicked fate…

There was someone that stayed true to herself, and loyal to him…

Because she loved him.

He recalled her faint voice… her sweet, sweet voice. Her soothing voice, her comforting voice, and…

And… her eyes.

Her beautiful golden eyes, that looked like two shiny stars atop the night sky.

So beautiful and wondrous, they guided him in such a dark path as the Hero he was given the title of.

After all the things he had to do for those people that called themselves as his protectors…

When his heart was in the darkest of places, filled with pain and regret…

That's where she would be alongside him, as the light that illuminated his path.

As the one that always gave him a helping hand, and the one that gave him the courage to keep moving.

The love of his life, and the one…

The one that died on his arms.

He recalled her sweet and beautiful voice.

"Makoto! What are you doing dozing off in that tree? Come on, we are not done yet… We still have to keep training so you can one day become the Hero!"

He recalled those times she reprimanded him when he was lazy and all down and depressed. She would come to his side and help him stand up again.

"Makoto! What are you doing there? Come on, don't be all sad… I am here for you, always count on me!"

She was always cheerful, and walked towards his side when nobody else did. When everybody in his party said he just needed some time alone… but she never let him be alone. Because she knew that such a thing is what was hurting him the most.

"Makoto! …Are you alright? Remember that I am always there for you, okay? Just ask me anything…"

She was devoted to him jut as he was to her… She was always dedicated to help him, and he did the same for her…

"Makoto! I will heal you! H-Hang in there! I won't let you die! I will… I don't know what I would ever do without you…! So please… stay with me. Please!"

Even in those times when he was in the verge of death after battling such powerful opponents, she was always with him, healing his wounds, and filling him with the warmth of her healing light, and her love…

"Of course… I accept… I will become your wife… I-I've always loved you…"

And when he finally proposed to her… She didn't even doubt for a single second, because she loved him dearly.

"I-I am sorry… I… It seems that I was born with something… I-I can have children…"

But there were times when fate was cruel…

"It doesn't matter if I can't have children? Even… when I can't, you will still love me?"

But Makoto… He was the same as her, he loved her unconditionally, no matter what… He knew she was born in such a way, but there was no helping it… He loved her, even if they could not leave descendants… as long as she could remain at his side, that was all he wanted and needed.

"Makoto… I will never leave your side… no matter what… We'll get through this together… Like we have always done."

And in those moments when he was betrayed and hated, when the world itself, and the gods themselves opposed him, when everyone pointed fingers at him as if he had suddenly become a villain… she remained at his side, guiding his dark path with her light.

"Makoto… I am sorry… I… I wasn't able to keep our promise… I… I love… you…"

Until those last moments of her life, as the light slowly faded away from her eyes, and her body slowly turned pale and cold… Even in those times when her eyes looked into his own, as she passed away on his arms…

"Fe… Fero… Feroia…"

He remembered her name once more…

"Feroia… Feroia… Feroia… F-Feroia… FEROIAAAAAAAA!"

And the roars of the gluttonous beast once more resonated in the depths of Helheim.
