Gu Zicheng, the eldest son of the Gu Group, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a conspicuous streak of pride. He thought that the winners made the rules in every game, until the “Original Sin Game” chose him.
The rules are cruel and simple: in every instance, you must personally kill the boss or kill another player to get out alive. If you fail, the monsters will tear through the screen and descend upon the real world.
Others are busy forming teams, clinging to strong allies, and doing whatever it takes to survive.
Gu Zicheng is different.
As the embodiment of Pride, he has only one way to play: in every instance, take everyone down without distinction, and carry his arrogance to the bitter end.
He never bows, never backs down, and shows no mercy.
That’s our proud little peacock, and that’s the sin that belongs to him.
Xiao Yuran, the representative of Greed.
In the Sin Game, everyone has a label. Some embody Wrath, some Envy, some Sloth.
He is Pride. I am Greed.
The proud look down on all living things; the greedy are never satisfied.
He wants to trample the strong underfoot and use them as steps to the summit. What I want is him.
From head to toe, inside and out, from that untouchable pride to the heart that never bows.
The two factions are now in play. Let the game begin.
My peacock, don’t you dare bow your head.
After all, I’m the only one who can take that crown from you.
