On Earth. Seol Jihu is a piece of [[Jerkass human trash]]. Addicted to gambling, he's willing to preform any deed to exploit his family and loved ones for the chance to win big at the casinos, but instead constantly sinks deeper and deeper into his fix with every loss. After a vicious argument with his old girlfriend, she finally cuts all ties with him with a final payment, despairing that the kind-hearted boy she once loved has [[UsedToBeASweetKid sunk so low]]. Concerned only with his next win, Seol disregards how badly he's hurt those around him with his selfish obsession...

A dream of battle against fantastical monsters, a world of magic and untamed wonders, a world under threat from an unstable invader. Fighting endlessly against this inevitable foe is a spear-wielding demon, drenched in blood and ferocious in battle, unrelenting in fulfilling his duty when those around him falter against the enormity of the task, until at last he is cut down. His last act is to die alone on a gruesome battlefield, his tear-streaked face a mirror of Seol Jihu's, consumed with the regrets of his past mistakes that brought him here

* GodIsEvil: {{PlayedWith}}. The [[BigBad Parasite Queen]] actually defeated the [[BigGood chief deity of Paradise]] and absorbed his divinity into herself, thereafter also taking the divinity of seven virtues to split amongst her [[CoDragons Army Commanders]]. Faced with this, the natives of paradise made a deal with the SevenDeadlySins, to worship them as gods so they could use their abilities to counter the influence of the Parasite Queen, now a PhysicalGod. This results in the normally-evil sins being considered 'good' and the virtues being seen as evil, so it's more 'god ''became'' evil, and the sins had to take his position'.

\nA distant planet in a far-off galaxy. A bloody war of survival is drawing to a close. The alien invaders have won, and the heroes of the natives have either abandoned the fighting or betrayed them for the enemy. As the chaotic fighting dies down, a lonely dying man rests amongst a sea of corpses, having fought to his last breath. As he breathes his last, he makes one last deal with the gods who summoned him to this world to fight on behalf of those who couldn't defeat their mighty foe. A chance to set things right, and perhaps, resolve his past regrets...

* ForWantOfANail: {{Invoked}}. The BadFuture Seol Jihu, despite preforming admirable feats, including killing Abhorrent Charity, had not earned enough favour with the seven gods to be sent back in time himself and [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong correct all the mistakes and regrets he had]] about his time in Paradise and his family. Instead, with the aid of the Royal Oath, his thoughts and emotions were sent back to his past self, appearing into him as a [[DreamingOfThingsToCome dream about his future fate]] that would thereafter fade away and leave him with ghost memories of the path he was destined to walk. Though this does happen, the faint portions of events that Seol does remember, along with the [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone intense regret]] he feels upon realising just how far he's fallen as a human being from his gambling addiction, is sufficient to guide him in making different choices and actions when proceeding Paradise.

''The Second Coming Of Gluttony'' is an Action Fantasy Webcomic drawn by Akeo Studio, based on the web novel by Ro Yu-jin (로유진).



!!''The Second Coming Of Gluttony'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* AuraVision: Seol Jihu's inborn Unique Ability, enabling him to see the world around him dyed in [[ArcNumber Nine]] different colours, each corresponding to a different 'direction' and associated with a particular choice or action he can take regarding it.
* BladeOnAStick: Seol's WeaponOfChoice is a Spear, contrasting against the usual fantasy protagonist choice of a [[HeroesPreferSwords sword]]. [[spoiler:And helping to further differentiate him from [[EvilCounterpart Sung Shihyun]], who became a skilled swordsman from his time in paradise and wholeheartedly believes he's the 'main character' of events, with the [[StrongAndSkilled raw skill and strength]] to [[AwesomeEgo back up his boasting]]]].
