A week has passed, and I have no excuses. Just been doing midterms and playing Rust, also playing Assassin's Creed. Shadow's. It's so cool, but it's a short chapter for you; you might post another one later in the week. Feel bad for posting such a short chapter, but hey, I hope you like it, and see you next time. I hope you have a wonderful day/afternoon/night.
========================================================
[A curse has been applied to the Player: Mid-Tier Curse: Nightmare]
"Huh, what?!" Confused, Kylio looked at the now-dead ogre as its body evaporated into particles. "System, what does that mean?" Kylio asked, walking to the throne of the ogre, where a chest appeared.
Opening it, two identical books appeared above the opened chest. Curiously, Kylio reached out for one when a system prop appeared.
[You have found books of good and evil; one gives a powerful skill, the other gives a High-Tier curse.]
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN I JUST GOT A CURSE? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, RIGHT?" Kylie screamed out in frustration. "No, I do not want them; the curse is not worth it, and why don't you tell me about this mid-tier curse?" Kylio questioned the system.
Not getting an answer, he turns to the exit when another system prompt appears before him.
[Leaving without out picking one will force the system to pick for you.]
"You tell me that, but not what they mean; okay, fuck you, pick for me; whatever I get is your fault, damn you," Kylio said, passing the prompt as he walked out of the cave.
[Book of SLOTH has been chosen.]
[A High-Tier curse has been given to player SLOTH—one of the seven deadly sins.]
"Y... you bastard, hu hu hu, why am I so tired?" Kylio stopped leaning on the cave wall; his eyelids suddenly felt as if they weighed a ton.
Stumbling out of the cave, he used [transformation] into a bird and tried to fly to find more monsters, but then his wings felt so heavy he fell from the few feet he did fly.
"Such a plump bird, Mom will definitely eat good today." A voice woke him up a bit as an arrow pierced his side.

A breeze like a whistle woke Kylio up, looking around, shivering as snow fell from the sky. Confused, all he saw were trees, finding himself in a forest. He looked around for his weapons, but looking down, he only saw his clothes; not even his armor was on. Trying to use [Transformation], but nothing was working. Not feeling any mana, he started to panic.
"Heeeroooou"
A loud, high-pitched roar of some kind made him jump to his feet. The sound of stomps made Kylio start bolting through the forest, scared, confused, and feeling weak without his mana. After what felt like an hour of running, the stomps stop and the roars sound far. Feeling saved, he slows down, making it to a massive tree with some strange engravings in it. A sudden feeling of foreboding assaulted him as a loud snort from behind him startled him and he was about to start sprinting. Something hooked him from his right ankle and dragged him across the forest, making him hit into trees, making him get cut up and bruised.
"Kylio," A voice sounds very faint.
Getting through into a tree, piercing his chest, he hung as a deformed moose walked up to him as it stopped. Its lower half opened up as its now empty chest opened like a mouth, its ribcage acting like teeth.

"Kylio... KYLIO," starting off low, and then a scream woke him up with a jolt.
Smacking his head with Izuku, who was groaning in pain and holding his nose.
"What happened Oh my God, Izuku are you okay my bad I just had a nightmare. Oh god, my whole body hurts," Kylio said, trying to stand up.
"I'm fine, but are you okay? You were convulsing on the ground and screaming when I got off the throne, and the shadow man does not talk to me. You were screaming for an hour straight; God knows how long before I got to check on you," Izuku said worriedly as he looked Kylio up and down.
"I don't know; I just had a nightmare, and god, I feel so sleepy, I don't know why," Kylio said as a system prompt appeared in front of him.
[You killed 178 goblins and two bosses: 132 Goblin ears immediately sold for 76 souls, 46 dirty lion cloths, 1 driver's sword, 2 twin sabers.]
After talking to Izuku and making sure he was fine, Izuku went back on the throne, and from the screens, he went to study since the end-of-year testing is coming up in a few months.
To Be Continued.
