Subterfuge

Sylas' heart skipped a beat. He felt an odd darkish red energy swirl around him and forcefully enter his mouth. But then it disappeared as though it had never been there.

His hand shot up to his chest and he felt a gloominess overwhelm him. He had asked so many questions, trying to cover all the bases he could, and yet something unexpected had still happened.

What was a Gluttony Seed? Would he have to feed himself with Destiny now, much like he had fed Genes to the Madness Key?

Sylas took a breath and closed his eyes. He didn't dare to ask the Madness Key about it, at least not yet. Sometimes he wasn't certain if he was dealing with the Taboo, but this time he was 100% certain.

This Gluttony Seed was definitely something that existed outside the purview of the system.

When he opened his eyes, he had already calmed down.
