Chapter 11 - Vallen — Alternate Version

⚜️ Vallen Heir

> "To devour is not to consume — it is to understand, to become, and to be lost within the endless hunger."

📜 Origin and Reincarnation

Vallen Heir was not a name given at birth — it was a name bestowed by Sin.

Before reincarnating into Valhalla, he was an archivist of the forbidden realms, a keeper of lost knowledge who studied the laws of life and death. Yet his thirst for understanding drove him to commit the ultimate taboo: he devoured the script of life itself — not by flesh, but by essence — consuming the memories, emotions, and souls of others to deepen his comprehension.

His act tore a rift between the mortal realm and the abyss.

In his final moment, as his body and soul dissolved, a voice echoed through the darkness:

> "You hunger for everything — even the truths that should remain unspoken. Then, become My vessel."

Beelzebub — The Sin of Gluttony, the Lord of Endless Hunger, chose him as a successor to his will, embedding the Sigil of Devouring within his soul's heart. When his essence shattered, he was reborn in Valhalla under a new name:

Vallen Heir — the one who inherits the void.

⚖️ State in Valhalla

> In the world of Valhalla, Vallen awoke without his full memory. The only thing he knew was the hunger that would never fade — not for food, but for meaning.

He longed to understand why the world repeats, why souls must atone, and why gods allow suffering to persist.

Thus, Vallen became a Wandering Devourer — one who absorbs remnants of mana, memory, and emotion from the dead to "study the world."

A form of feeding that is both abstract and perilous.

He wears a crimson mantle engraved with the Sigil of Beelzebub — both shield and curse. Each time he devours, the sigil fractures further, bringing him closer to his true nature: a vessel of Gluttony.

(He is not merely hungry for food, but for the world itself — for knowledge, truth, and meaning. Yet his mortal hunger remains a lingering echo of what he once was.)

🕯️ Personality and Dilemma

Though composed and analytical, Vallen lives in constant fear of himself.

He knows that if he loses control, his hunger will consume not only bodies — but the very meaning of all things, unraveling Valhalla itself.

And yet, he refuses to surrender to fate.

He believes that only by devouring and understanding everything can he rewrite his destiny and sever the chains of Beelzebub's will.

🩸 Symbolism

> • The deep crimson and black of his robes represent blood and void.

• The chains and cords binding his body are not meant to restrain others — but himself.

• The half-mask he wears symbolizes his struggle to suppress the "hunger" within.

🍴 Personal Motto

> "If I must devour to remember who I am,

then let the world be my meal —

and my regret, my dessert."
