A dense forest... a place where even the shadow of light is afraid to step. Even the rays of the sun would think a hundred times before peeking inside. In that dark night, a 7-year-old boy was running through the forest trails, fighting for his life. He tried to stifle his breath; his heart felt like it would burst at any moment. His legs were on the verge of giving up. Sweat trickling into his eyes made his vision blurry. He was so terrified that it felt like Death was standing right in front of him... but no, Death wasn't in front of him; it was right behind him, closing in fast.
The 'Demonic Beast' following him looked like a dark shadow lost in the gloom. Its pale blue eyes and the glowing diamond mark on its forehead made it even more terrifying. Suddenly, the ground beneath the boy vanished in a single moment. Because of the sweat, he hadn't realized there was a deep gorge ahead.
While falling, he remembered his parents and whispered— "I wish I could have met you one more time, but I guess our journey ends here. Goodbye." He thought he wouldn't survive a fall from such a height, so he turned his head downward to make death instantaneous. As he fell, a faint smile appeared on his face... and then, everything went silent.
He felt as if he were lying with his head in his mother's lap. But when he opened his eyes, he realized he had fallen onto a massive mushroom tree. He had just climbed down when a loud 'growl' came from his stomach. Embarrassed, he set out in search of food. After walking a short distance, he saw a ruin from which light was emanating. Peeking through a hole, he saw 7 magicians sitting around a magic circle, chanting spells. Among them was a female magician. Suddenly, a powerful bolt of lightning struck the center of the circle, and everything turned white.
Scene Shift (Modern World)
It was 7 PM. A 14-year-old boy, with sadness clearly reflecting from his back, was walking toward his home. When he stepped into the light, several bruises were visible on his face. He was filled with anger and pain. He reached home, took the key from the flower pot in the garden, and went inside.
He went into the kitchen, made a 2-egg omelette, and ate it. As he ate, his silence clearly showed how deeply hurt he was. When he finished the omelette and put the dishes in the sink, the clatter of the utensils felt incredibly heavy in that silence. That sound only deepened his loneliness and sorrow. He kept thinking about his friend— "Why did he do this? He was such a good friend... what was the need for him to do all this?" But then he composed himself, "Forget it, I don't know him anymore. Remembering him will only bring pain and anger; it's better to just forget him."
After washing his face, he went to his room and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a blurry red color began to appear. He could feel the heat. That red color looked like fire drawn with 'Crayon colors'. Then, the voice of a beautiful woman came; she was saying something... but it wasn't clear.
Then he felt someone carrying him and running. Because of the bright moon, that person's face was hidden. In the center of the moon was a tiny black spot, looking smaller than a mosquito. But it was gradually getting larger. Before the boy could understand anything, he saw a sword flying toward his eyes, as if it were about to pierce them.
The End.
A/N
Wait for the next part!
Don't worry friends, the next part will be coming soon. If you didn't like this, please let me know. I don't know how to write well because I've never written anything before and I don't even read novels. I just heard the name of this 'curse' (Novel) and started writing from my heart because, as you already know, my drawing is so dangerous that even an S-Level Demon couldn't handle looking at it! I've only ever read one novel in my life, and that too was only 8 chapters. Okay bye, good night, see you later brooos!
Oooooooaaaahhhh-hmmm...zzz
