Book 1: Chapter 2 (2)
Shin, who found what he looked for, unintentionally posed a victory pose. Tiera, who was watching Shin’s eccentricity, stayed on guard.
“Be delighted, Tiera! I just found out what causes your bad luck.”
“Eh?”
“Believe me. I’m sure because the display status appeared. The color of hair changes, the multiple attacks by monsters, they are all caused by 【Cursed Gift】.”
“【Cursed Gift】?”
Tiera was dumbfounded because she didn’t understand its meaning.
【Cursed Gift】 was a curse that suddenly occurred in THE NEW GATE. It was literally bad luck.
Originally, players could obtain 【Title】 or 【Gift】 from regularly clearing the quests. On occasion, support abilities and items could be gained from it. Depending on the 【Title】, stats could be slightly strengthened as more new skills became available.
Then suddenly the 【Cursed Gift】 had fallen to all players. The curse had negative effect such as random status degradation, gained all kind of abnormalities, random encounters with strong, unique monsters and so on. It could only be cured with the magic skill 【Purification】or by using the item 【Holy Water】.
