Cursed Crown

Just as Bob was about to place the crown on his head, he noticed something—a small, yellowed piece of paper inside the chest.

Bob picked up the paper, the paper was entirely yellowed and fragile, almost crumbling to the touch. Strange symbols covered its surface, none of which Bob could understand.

Suddenly, a blue system window appeared above the paper and it said [translate]

Bob tapped the option, and a system window appeared above the paper, displaying the following text:

[Once, a deposit of spirit ore was discovered in unconquered territory, sparking a bloody war for control of the land, which was known as the war of the spirit of death. 4 kingdoms were involved in the war: the rat kingdom, the night goblin kingdom, the poison giant kingdom and the gnome kingdom. It was fought for 1260 long years and a lot of blood was spilled, which slowly seeped out of the earth by the spirit ore. In the end the rat kingdom won because it had a necromancer on its side, when the spirit ore was mined the rat king ordered it to be made into a crown to which he added mysterious red gems which he found underground in unknown ruins. When the rat king saw the crown he was surprised because according to legends it was described to be orange in color but that didn't stop the rat king and he put it on his head anyway, when he put it on his head his eyes began to bloodshot and blood began to flow from them, then the rat king began to mumble with a voice that was not at all like his voice or that of any creature I have ever known, he began to mumble "you are not worthy, you are not worthy, you are not worthy ..." muttering like that for about 2 minutes until it exploded. To tell the truth, I am his only son and the current king of the Rat Kingdom. I inherited everything from him, including this cursed crown, and my mission was to destroy it, I tried everything: fire water, poison..., I even used a very powerful explosive rune that cost half of the kingdom's treasury and even that wasn't enough. It's now 461 years old and I feel I'm about to die. My son is a fool and I suppose if he had it in his hands he would put it on his head and his fate would be sealed. And so I have instructed my most loyal knight to bury it deep in the ground so that no one will ever find it again, when you have this crown in your hands there are only 2 possibilities either the knight is a traitor and gave it to you which I doubt very much or you dug it up and so I beg you to bury it back because this thing is not something that anyone should own]

Bob was surprised when he read it because he didn't know how so much text could fit on this small piece of paper, but he was also quite scared and now he didn't know whether to put it on his head or not.

But, however, he suddenly felt a sympathy with the crown as if they had been best friends for a long time, and so Bob had a great urge to put it on his head.

He thought mad about the situation for about 5 minutes and came to the conclusion that he would put it on his head because of the sympathy which was pushing him quite hard, because the previous owner hadn't mentioned the effect and so he assumed he might be worthy, and because of the Night Whisperer who had written to him that he should put it on his head and he considered it the most reliable because he had saved it before.

And so Bob slowly began to put it on his head..

Suddenly Bob felt something digging into his head and he collapsed to the ground, shaking with pain.

What Bob didn't know is that when he put the crown on his head from underneath the crown, large long sharp fangs came out at high speed and drilled into Bob's head.

The dark room was occupied by 12 inhuman creatures with grim expressions that exuded a murderous aura, but what was strange was that one chair was empty.

The one giving off the strongest aura spoke

"I never expected another family to form."

Everyone was silent for a long time and one of them pointed at the big black marble door and spoke

"But the door doesn't have the family's name written on it which I think is rather strange"

Then a being who seemed to be female spoke because it had a female voice.

"I've been thinking about this and I've come to the conclusion that the owner of the new family is a very weak creature and probably fainted when the artifact connected with his soul and so he didn't create a name for the family in his mind"

Bob suddenly woke up because Nina was poking him

Bob sat down on the cold floor of the cave and then Nina spoke.

"Bob you haven't come in about 30 minutes and I was so worried about you so I came to check on you."

Then she paused and said

"by the way your eyes have blue pupils and why do you have such a creepy crown on your head in her presence I feel sick"

Bob suddenly awoke from his confusion and clutched his head where he felt the crown

Suddenly he heard a chilling and insidious voice in his head

'Ah it looks like you've woken up my owner, let's pick a name for our family together'
