Greed Series (Web Novel)

The Greed Series is one of the two sets from the Curse Series claimed by Ren in 『Chapter 195』 of the web novel a short period after losing all of his companions during the assault on the Spirit Turtle. Due to his misconception of the reality he was in, Ren treated everything like it was a game he had played before and carelessly led his companions to slaughter likely thinking they would revive later on. When he finally realizes he is not simply playing a game, he breaks down and tries to cope with what he's done. When Naofumi happens to run into Ren while he has a warrant out for his arrest, Naofumi belittles Ren only making him feel worse. Iwatani Naofumi finds Ren a second time but Witch suddenly takes advantage of Ren's vulnerability and they escape together. The third time Naofumi meets Ren, Ren has become the leader of a group of notorious bandits. Refusing to be apprehended, Ren tries to kill Iwatani Naofumi and company in order to harvest experience from them which forces him to switch to the Gluttony Series. When the fight ends, it is discovered that the cost of using the Greed Series is a curse that makes the user unable to hold anything worth value (item quality deteriorates and currency decays).
