Day 1 Part 2

After half an hour of thinking I came up with a few conclusions about my situation.

First, I'm the new host of the Curse Store curse stated in the contract and the old host before was that old man. What does this curse do I don't know, it could only be just running a curse store selling curse things to people or something more. He also said he couldn't take it anymore so he probably planned to transfer it to someone beforehand and I was unlucky to be chosen. That also means I can transfer the curse as well.

Second, I'm an undead known as a Shadow and such can't live a normal life. I probably can't turn back into a human being see as that old man probably killed me to let the curse take effect. Then if I transferred the curse to someone else I will most likely have really die or just disappear like that old man and I'll have to kill someone to take over my place as host but do I really want to do that.

Third, I should move out of my apartment complex and live here on the second floor. It's for the best seeing how I can't walk outside during the day and becoming a night owl out of nowhere will raise some questions from my roommates that I don't want to answer seeing how I don't want other people to find out my situation.

Now that I have my thoughts in order I started to explore the store some more as the sun is still out.

I go towards the counter and opened the door behind it to find a large empty room with three more doors to my left and stairs at the end of the room that looks like they lead up to the second floor.

I walked into the empty room and opened the doors one by one to find that the first one is a restroom, the one in the middle is another small vacant room I can use for storage or an office while the last door had more stairs this time it's going down towards a basement.

After looking around the rooms I chose to go upstairs saving the basement for last.

When I reached the top of the stairs I found myself in a large living room area walking deeper into the room I found a connecting kitchen and five more doors. Three out of the five doors had vacant rooms one was a master bedroom with a connecting bathroom while the other two are normal bedrooms. The other two rooms lead to an empty laundry room and another bathroom.

It looks like I'm upgrading, to be honest, it's a lot better than my apartment.

After inspecting the second floor I went back to the stairs and headed towards the door that leads to the basement.

When I got to the door for the basement I found a light switch right when I just entered and after turning on the lights I found a big empty room with what seems to be a magic circle in the center of it. The magic circle was red in color and the center circle you can see a picture depicting the store along with unknown symbols surrounding it. After looking at it for a while not knowing what it does I left and locked the door behind me just in case something comes out from it.

Once I left the basement I went back to the stairs and sat on them and started to think once more when I remember the Grand Opening Gift Box still in the inventory and having time until the sun went down I decided to open it.

Opening the store interface I went to the inventory and touched the Grand Opening Gift Box once and waited a second until a screen pop up.

([Grand Opening Gift Box] has been opened. Host has got [Curse Paper Talisman Book (Basic) x500], [Curse Pencil Box (Basic) x250], [Curse Bedsheet (Basic) x75], [Cursed Glasses (Basic) x25], [Curse Ring (Basic) x25], [Curse Monkey Paw x1], [Demonic Lottery Ticket x3], & [Invitation Passcode: Great Ghost Society])

After reading all the information I moved on to think about what I'm going to do for now on.

I sat there until the sun went down completely and came up with a plan.

First of all, I'm going back home to pack up my things and move in here tomorrow night. Second, I'm going to explore everything I can about the interface. Lastly, I will look for a way to remove the curse if I can.

After recapping my thoughts I got off the stairs and started to walk out the store and leave towards my home.

It didn't take me long to reach the apartment complex and once I got into my apartment I found a couple kissing on the ground in the living room blocking my way.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing someone speak out of a sudden the two people on the ground stopped and looked up with a stud and angry faces.

"Brian your home. I thought you finally went on a date and was going to be spending the whole night outside."

"No, I wasn't I was looking for a new apartment because I keep walking into you and your girlfriends like this. What is this the sixth or seventh time I'm walking into this kind of situation? "

"Haha, sorry that my love life is bothering you. Did you find an apartment then."

He seems to not take me seriously but then again I have this talk with him more than once already.

"Yes and I'm moving out tomorrow. I'm going to spend all day tomorrow to pack up my things and move out that night."

"Really? You're not pulling my leg."

"Yes, I'm going to get some of my stuff in my room right now can you move your make-out section somewhere else."

"... Sure."

After a little more talking my roommate left with his girlfriend.

When they left I started to take any little items that belong to me and I'll get the big stuff later. Once I got all the stuff in my room I went to my bed and sat on it before I laid on it to fall asleep.
