Chapter 47: Big Increase
Oliver’s mouth opened and closed repeatedly, his eyes wide as he trembled.
A curse?
That was something he had never even heard of.
Then again, in an era where spiritual power was real—and where a system could awaken someone’s abilities just by killing monsters—it wasn’t entirely surprising.
But the fact that both of his parents were affected by a curse... and that this was the real cause of his father’s death?
And the curse targeted them because they had done something forbidden to gain power?
What kind of forbidden act had they committed?
How could his parents have done something like that?

Oliver was burning with curiosity, but this was his mother—a frail woman suffering from illness. He couldn’t interrogate her, even if he had a heart made of ice.
If she didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t force her.
