"I had a hunch something was off, but this..." I let out a sigh, my gaze fixed on the system panel that displayed the unsettling news of being cursed.
"What kind of curse is this?" I inquired, prompting the system panel to switch to a different interface. Was this going to provide information about the curse?
Sure enough, the blue slate presented me with the details:
System Info
Curse: Fate
Information: An unknown curse placed on the host's current body by the world itself.
The closer the owner of the body gets to their fated death, the more the curse will work to make that fate come true.
The pieces of the puzzle started falling into place. Those hateful glances and odd reactions from the students in the auditorium were likely due to this curse. Ren, the character from the game, was destined to die by the end of this year. And now that his body was mine, it seemed the world was attempting to enforce that fate, even though the script had been altered.
