Chapter 1(Curse System)

*Huff*Huff*

"My...My Lady"  A weak voice escapes from my lips.

"Please, please don't die on me."

"Damn this misty forest... it's so hard to see because of the mist."

"I have to find Princess; I've been searching for her for hours and still I could not find her... and I don't even have any strength left; my arm and leg are broken, and I'm bleeding from every part of my body."

*Huff*Huff*

"But I can't give up; I have to find her even if I die along the way; I have to make sure if she is okay or not."

After walking for hours, I arrived at the big tree; it was bigger than other trees around here.

And when I arrived, I saw a woman like figure that leaning on the big tree.

"My lady, is that you?"

"I've been searching for you for hours now, are you alright? Did those bastards do anything to you?"

When I didn't get any replies from her, I walked towards her from the back.

"My lady??"  When I put my hand on her shoulder, something rolled on the ground and stopped at my feet.

"_"

I was frozen when I saw the thing that rolled and stopped in front of my feet.

"N-No, it can't be." I took a few steps back.

*Thud*

The woman-like figure leaning on a tree fell to the ground.

"No...No...No..No"

"It's not true, I'm just hallucinating." Yeah, it's just hallucinations, right? Right??"

"Alice, you can't be right." "You can't be dead, right?"

"It's all my illusion, right?"

"I can't accept it."

The thing that rolled over the ground was none other than Princess Alice's head.

"No, Alice, please! "It's not the truth. You can't die like this. You promised to be with me and stay side by side until death separates us. You can't just leave like this."

*Pfft*

"HAHAHA..sorry big brother I can't hold my laughter. Look. Look how he's crying. HAHAHA*

"It fines my fools, little brother."

"The great royal knight Ian Lionheart is crying on his knees like a baby for his lover."

"Oh, my, today was a marvelous day!"

"My two wishes came true... first, the princess died by my hand, and second, I saw the great royal knight cry like a baby... today was a truly great day."

Hundreds of men jumped from tree branches and landed on the ground.

"Damn you!"

Uragh

"Hay, you lowly bitch, watch your mouth." The one who was laughing until now grabbed my neck.

"I'm not a commoner like you; I'm the fourth prince of the 'Levadura' Empire."

"So watch it."

"But anyway, today was a great day, so I'm not going to kill you right away... "I will torture you until you beg me to kill you."

*Arghhhhhhh*

"Hahaha... hahaha, that's more like it. Scream more. Your scream is pleasant music to my ear."

"More.. more.. more." "I want it more."

*Argh*Arghhhhhhhhhh*

"I'm gonna... kill you, bastards..."

"Ohh my !!  Ohh my !!  That's the same thing your dear Princess said before she died.

"Oh, I did not tell you why I attacked your carriage and killed your lover...right?

"Do you wanna hear it? Tell me..tell me do you wanna hear it."

"Well, if you don't want to hear it, I will tell you anyway."

"Don't worry, it's going to be a short story, so you can hear it all before you die."

"So let's go back to two years later."

"The day when me, ERIX MORGAN, my father, King Rey Morgan, and the crown prince, Luke Morgan, my big brother, came to your small kingdom to talk about marriage between me and your dear princess Alice.."

"That day your princess rejected the marriage proposal between us and humiliated the great empire LEVADURA in front of everybody just because she was in love with a lowly commoner like you."

"And when I saw you standing next to the princess with a smirk on your face that day, we, the Morgan family, decided to bring down your small kingdom and you."

"So that's the reason why you guys end up like this."

"But this is not the only thing that's happening right now... cause thousands of LEVADURA soldiers and my father and my big brothers are in your kingdom... and by now I guess your kingdom is in the fire... because of us... you don't have any idea how much my father and brothers adore me."

"So blame yourself and your dear princes for all this."

"And do you know when your lover is dying, she continuously calls your name? Hehe..."

"Ahh, it's so good to watch her suffer."

"Well anyway, now the talk is over... do you have any last words to say? "

"Huh. Yes. I have one last word to say."

"Die, you bitch."

"What the??"

*BOOM*

"Little brother?"

"How dare you?"

*Click*

*Splash*

The Second prince DRACO MORGAN cut the head of Ian.

*Blrughh* And the blood flowed like a river from his neck.

"When did he cast that spell?"

"It's not time for thinking about that.... What are you bastards watching? Go check the fourth prince."

After ordering his soldiers, he also went to check on the fourth prince.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Yeah, thankful I dodged it in time... so fire only burned my cloth."

"That's a relief."

"Now let's head back and meet with father and brothers. The work is done here, so there is no reason to stay in the forest."

"O-Okay!!"

"Everyone move out."

After that, the soldier of LEVADURA And the princes left the misty forest.

*****

"Huh, where am I? "I know my head was cut off, so how am I still alive?" when I opened my eyes I found myself in a strange place.

"You are not alive, you are dead!"

"What??  Who's is there??"

When I looked around me, I didn't see anything, because the place where I'm right now is pitch-black.

But suddenly a white bright orb appeared in front of me.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you."

"Then can you at least tell me who you are and where I am right now?"

"Well, to your first question, I'm God!"

"OHH!!  "If you are God, then I'm really dead!?"

*PFFT*

"You actually believe it. Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

"I'm sorry, I always want to say that."

"Say that??"

"Yeah, the God thing!"

"So you're not God."

*Pfft*

"You really are a moron."

"HEY DON'T CALL ME THAT"

"Damn okay!! Chill don't get angry ".

Even though he is already dead, his aura is really terrifying, but that's good too.

"Tell me who you really are?"

"Before I tell you that, I want to know if you can go back into the past. Will you go? "

"How is that possible?"

"Well, it might be possible!"

"So tell me, will you go?"

"If it's possible, I will definitely go without any hesitations."

"Huh!!  That's good to hear!

"So the answer to your question first is that I'm not a god; I'm someone who came from another world."

"Another world, what do you mean by that?"

"Well, to explain it simply, I came for a world where magic, dragons, elves, dwarfs, and beast men don't exist."

"But humans exist, and I'm human for that world... but I died by accident and got reincarnated here, and I don't know how I got reincarnated here."

"Reincarnated?  "I only heard of reincarnation, but I never thought it actually existed."

"Well, I also didn't think something like this would happen to me... it was a miracle, but at the same time a curse too."

"Curse??"

"Yeah, curse!!  "When I got reincarnated here at first, my life was going smoothly and happily, but there is something that I got after reincarnating."

"And what is that?"

"In my world, we called it system."

"SYSTEM??  What's that??"

"To put it simply, it helps someone to grow magic, strength, agility, etc."

"Something like that really exists?"

"Yeah, it exists!" "But the system I had when I was alive was actually cursed."

"It was too powerful and dark for me to handle it."

"What did it do to you?"

"Well, with its help, I become powerful, but it devours me and my whole life."

"And eventually, the dark mana that I obtained from the system killed me because of the overflowing mana."

"So what are you getting at.."

"Well, the place where I died is the exact same place where you died, and after dying, my soul was stuck in the system, and it has been 100s of years up until now that I was stuck in this system."

"So for your second question, we are inside the systems."

"So you're saying I'm also stuck here?"

"Hmm, not exactly!"

"I summoned your soul inside here with the help of the system."

"What did you summon me here for?"

"Don't you want to take revenge on the people who killed you and your lover?"

"Yeah!!  "I want to slay every single one of them."

"I will grant you that wish. Like I said before, I can send you the past."

"You can do that?"

"Yeah, I can, but for you to go to the past, you have to accept this cursed system."

"After you accept it, you will go to the past, and I will be free from here."

"After accepting the thing called a system, you get free right?"

"Then why didn't you get freed already?"

"Well, as you know, in this misty forest, no one dares to enter; only a few people came around here, and I can only summon someone who has died here; if anyone died here, I can't summon someone's soul until the system allows it."

"Oh, is that so? But why did the system allow me here? "

"I can't give you the answer, because I also don't know what this system wants."

"But if you accept this system, you will suffer lots of hardship."

"And I can't guarantee where and in which place you will end up after getting into the past... because the system will choose everything for you... and your previous existence is going to be completely erased."

"But I'm sure you're going to see the love of your life again."

"So do you still want to accept it?"

"If I can see her again, then I don't care who I will become or where I will end up... I will accept the system."

"Then lift your hand forward!"

"Okay!!"  When I lifted my hand, all the darkness around me sucked into my right hand.

"What's all this? "And what's this voice inside my head?"

"That's called a status window, and that's the voice of the system."

"Oh and don't worry no one can see the status window accept you.!!"

"Status window, huh?"

"Now, say activate the reincarnation cycle."

"ACTIVATE THE REINCARNATION CYCLE."

[Activating REINCARNATION CYCLE]

"Now you will go to the past after the reincarnation cycle is complete."

"But if I can go back to the past, then why didn't you go to the past?"

"Because I don't want to!"

"But why".

"Well to be honest, I killed all my family and children because of that system... so I can't live with that regret and I can't change the past even if I went to the past... because I don't know who I would be if I went to the past... even though the past will be completely erased... I can't live with the guilt so that's why... after being freed by this damn system, I will reunite with my family again on another side so." 

"So please be careful and don't let this system devour you, okay?"

"Jen, I will remember it."

"This is going to be our last meeting, so I wish you will be happy after returning to the past... and as I said before, don't let the system devour you, okay?"

"Okay, I will not let that happen, and thank you, Jen, for giving me this chance."

"You don't have to thank me because I also got benefit from it, so it's fine. "

"Now farewell, Ian Lionheart."

"Yeah!!  Goodbye JEN."   When I said that the orb that was floating around the dark place cracked and vanished into thin air,
