The curse

Axel washed up in the automatic shower. He went into the kitchen to cook his favorite meal. His favorite meal was quite simple. He went to the basement and got a cup of rice. Came back upstairs, he then placed the rice in a bowl. He placed it in front of a faucet and the faucet automatically poured the water and stopped once the bowl was filled to the brink with water. He then washed the rice and poured the rice into a pot. He loved to have plain boiled rice with wine. His actions did not look like they were performed by a noble prince. His actions looked like an alcoholic over worked single mom precisely as he wished.

 After finishing his meal, he went upstairs to Ecatrina's room to check if she was asleep. She was indeed sleeping peacefully. She was sound asleep. He walked back into the kitchen and told the granny robot to wash the dishes. He entered his room and turned on the light. He sat on his bed thinking about what to do next. He couldn't challenge the heavens on his own. He needed allies. So he came to Solia since you could find a variety of people ranging from pirates to. He wanted people with great potential. All the people he met had limited potential or were closed-minded.

 Axel's situation was steeped in a complexity far beyond the surface level of his family dynamics. Unlike Ecatrina, whose father's control was an immediate, tangible issue, Axel's plight was rooted in a far darker and more ancient curse. His father's lack of oversight meant Axel had the freedom to travel, explore, and seek his own path—an illusion of autonomy that masked the true chains binding him.

Axel had emotions which would sound unbelievable to anyone who had met him. Currently, his two driving emotions to run away were pride and greed. He was unwilling to accept the life which had been weaved out by fate for him. He had to find a way to get rid of the curse sown by his Ancestor.

The Spirit King Knisth, a powerful and malevolent entity, had placed the curse. This curse wasn't a simple mark; it was a dark legacy meant to ensure that each generation of Axel's family would die in horrific ways. It was so severe that even the most skilled scholars and magic users had given up on trying to break it.

 I refuse to die from this grotesque curse!

 A curse from a god could only be removed by another god. A being even more powerful than a god had cursed Axel's bloodline. Axel's ancestor had received a curse in which their entire bloodline will perish in horrendous ways.

Axel's only hope was to find The Demitricule, a legendary figure who had somehow survived the Spirit King's curse. This figure was surrounded by mystery and myth, but Axel believed that finding him might be the key to breaking the curse that plagued his bloodline.

 I have to find him!

 He asked himself aloud, "Who will be naïve enough to join my outrageous plan?"

 He looked across the room to where hung a picture of him and Ecaterina in military uniforms. He smiled as he said out loud.

 "Bokuden, the miserable…"
