The hat the other person was wearing was taken off, and his hair had an extra color in the moonlight.

Now he looks very much like the legendary God, the legendary God who will take care of everyone in need, the legendary God who will bring salvation...

But I never believed it.

"I don't need to tell you this..."

"You need to. As far as I know, you have a sick brother, right? I don't mean to offend you, but I overheard it. Maybe this disease is a curse..."

"..."

"I don't know the feelings between you two, nor do I know whether you are willing to save each other, but at least you are willing. Maybe you don't have that many feelings, but you have decided to save each other... Otherwise, with the account book on the surface, you can live a very luxurious life."

"..."

"Your eyes don't have the color they should have. May I venture to assume that this is because you have been in contact with the abyss?" In other words, there is no highlight in the eyes.

"It's not that I touched the abyss..."

Want to take a gamble? Then take a gamble, since that's fate anyway...

"This happened a long time ago. I heard it from my father, and my father heard it from his fathers before him..."

I sat back in my chair and listened to the other person start telling the story.

"One of my ancestors very early on, probably 5 or 6 generations from my father... at that time we were not even alive... My ancestor was from Mondstadt, and was the lowest slave. Mondstadt at that time was even more full of blood and tears than it is now, and there was even a procedure to kill slaves for sacrifice."

"My ancestors decided to flee, even if it meant they would sacrifice their lives. Of course, they were discovered. After all, how could a person who had been hungry for a long time have the strength to outrun a person who had eaten a full meal? But at that time, something inaccessible was born in front of them..."

"That was the horror of darkness, something that made one feel suffocated at a glance, but it was the only thing one could pray for. These were the original words of the ancestor... He begged for the right to live in that unfathomable place, and indeed he survived... After that day, the ancestor suddenly gained the ability to tell fortunes, and could easily detect the fate of others."

"Hmm? Very interesting..." he commented.

"But everything has a price. It's no surprise that my ancestors found themselves aging faster than others... None of them managed to live to the age of 35, and no matter how many children they had, only one child would survive..."

"So how do you decide which child survives?"

"Usually, the first child and the second child will be plagued by illness from birth. My younger brother is the same. In fact, it is a miracle that he is still alive today..."

"And your mother had no problems because of this?"

"After all, this is an exchange between our ancestors. The only problem is that the lovers of our ancestors in every generation will become widows because of this... My father once told me that if you really meet someone you like enough, then tell the other person all your characteristics... Being honest with each other is the basis of everything..."

"Thank you very much for your honesty. I have taken note of everything..." Looking at the other person's appearance, he took out his dagger. The other person became very alert. "Don't worry. I need to collect a few drops of your blood."

I cut my pinky finger, which I don’t use often, and the blood dripped into the bottle. There was nothing else to it…

"how about you?"

"Me? I... maybe I was cursed because I killed a certain Abyss Mage? Anyway, that curse has been following me since I woke up... I spent a long time in pain because of it. It's not that I don't feel any pain now, but I've gotten used to it..."

"…If I may…I have a request."

"Go ahead, you've told me so much. As long as it's not an excessive request, I will agree to it."

"I'm not sure if the curse on you is the same as my ancestors', but if it is similar, I hope I won't have children..."

"You don't want to have kids either, do you?"

"...Well, if I have a child, then that child will experience the same suffering as me. My child will experience my early death, and the mother will be a widow. He will have to learn my old craft at a young age and feel the rapid passage of life..."

"You have someone you like, right? I can feel your heart, and it feels heavy. You wouldn't say such words to someone you don't like..." It feels different to say such words to someone you really like than to say such words to someone you don't like. It would be easy to say it to someone you don't like, but to say it with a heavy tone to someone you like.

"Well, my mother doesn't know yet. She seems to have some feelings for me, but I can't... I can't let her go through the same suffering."

"Then go ahead and tell them. Everyone has the right to know the truth, right? Many times there is no end without a beginning, but don't lose the courage to face it. If you lose the so-called courage to face it, your life will be like this... and I am a very famous scholar!" He changed the subject and took on a somewhat cheerful tone.

"I have a very clear understanding of these studies. Maybe one day I can let you live a normal life! Although the hope is a little slim, I will try my best... Can I go to see your brother? Well, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient. Or I can disguise myself as a doctor traveling to other places..."

"Maybe tomorrow. He is a light sleeper. If he is woken up, he may not be able to sleep again tonight."

"Here you go. This is a drug that allows people to sleep peacefully. Don't worry, this dose is harmless to the human body and there is no strong dependence."

"Thanks……"

"Thank you for allowing me to study active curses..." Unlike myself, the curse on this person will become a long-lasting active form. In other words, as long as the blood and other things exist, the curse can be felt. Although the amount is very, very small, it also proves one thing, that curses are also divided into types.

The other party's curse is even hereditary... But this is what makes it interesting, it's just a curse! After I try my best, I will definitely be able to handle it!

This is a secret way to cheer myself up. After all, no one knows the future, so why not give it a try and dedicate everything to the future!

Future me, you have to work hard!
