Chapter 293 – The Cursed Doll
『Cursed Doll: 10,000 Points』
“…It’s going to go away.”
Resentful of her poor pocket circumstances, her holy day chooses a doll that can bring it to life.
“Ho… That’s a good choice.”
“…?”
The performance of the two items with an overwhelming difference at a glance. Nevertheless, when Seong-il chooses the doll, the moon god praises him for his choice.
‘What…? Did I miss something?’
Even though the item was simply selected for lack of points, when the evil god leaves a word of praise, Seong-il feels that this item is unusual.
Seong-il does not respond to his attitude, but quietly receives the reward from the moon god and keeps it in his bosom.
“Wow! A gift from God… What a treat?”
“Well… Get used to it from now on. Because I have a body like this.”
“Fuhaha! I get it. Let’s go back first, right?”
The Dark Elf sisters who offer to return from the inner plane of Holy Day. Seong-il nods to their opinion and returns to the dungeon with the fainting white knight.
“Please clean up after me.”
“Don’t worry!”
Nodding his head at the sight of his two trustworthy colleagues, Seong-il carefully moves to his room.
Weeing!!
“…?”
The sound of your smartphone ringing when you arrive in your room. At the unexpected notification, he checks his phone with a puzzled expression.
『Choosing that item was a good choice.』
‘…He too?’
Not only the god of the moon, but even 『Game Master』 Praised his choice, and he looked at the doll with a bewildered expression.
‘Bad luck… Bad luck… Bad luck…?’
Just in order to use the 『Playful God’s Dice』, I wondered if the item I had chosen had a hidden purpose. A thought pops into Seongil’s mind.
‘Wait… If it prevents bad luck… Will it also prevent bad luck coming in real life…?’
Seong-il feels that his head is spinning at the moment. He holds the doll with slightly trembling hands and thinks.
‘…There’s no guarantee that it will be unconditional, but it’s worth a try?’
Thinking so, Seong-il hurriedly finishes the world of 『Guardian of the Dungeon』 And decides to return to reality.
‘Yeah… Well, I’ll punish the white knight I was aiming for, let’s go back to reality for a while to secure supplies. Check out the results of the training you felt this time… Ah! Right!’
The strange feeling I felt while fighting with the white knight came to mind as I pondered. Seong-il opens his status window to check his abilities.

※ Overall Review: Don’t forget the dice.
A fairly high level of self-worth. Not only that, Seong-il confirmed that his 『Emotion』 Level had advanced one step.
‘As expected… The feeling I felt at that time was, of course, ’emotion’.’
‘By the way, the general opinion is… Throw the dice and use the doll? It’s the exact opposite of what I thought…?’
Seeing the skill level that has risen after a long time, Seongil feels better. He hastily arranges to pay the customs duties and bring the doll to life.
‘For now… Let’s deal with the urgent things and return to reality…’
So Seong-il goes to Velen’s lab to retrieve the Soul Stone of the Creator.
“Ah… Are you here?”
“Ah, did the research go well…?”
“Yes… I managed to complete the research with minimal time splitting the time.”
‘…You look very tired.’
Belen is still very skinny. As thick dark circles formed under his eyes, he looked like a half-corpse.
‘…It’s a shady look that’s perfect for the job of a necromancer.’
Hiding his true feelings, Seong-il reminds him of the terms of the deal.
“Well… Remember the scroll cycle for the spell to create the Ghost Knight?”
“Oh, sure. Here…”
The appearance of a scroll with an unusual design. Seong-il frowned at his creepy appearance, as if it were made of green leather, and asked him.
“…What is this made of?”
“Oh, it’s made of oak hide.”
“Eww…”
“Well, it may look ugly, but it’s easy to put a necromancer spell on an object with appropriate malice.”
“Ah… Well, in that case…”
“Because that’s the only way to make it fast…”
“Oh, I’m not arguing… I just mean it.”
“Haha… I see. Anyway, I’ll tell you how to use the spell.”
Belen started explaining the precautions for the spell to Seong-il for a while, and Seong-il listened attentively to his explanation with arms crossed.
“Hmm… I mean, you’re saying that it’s enough to charge the jewels with magic and cast spells? You’re not using the jewels yourself, are you?”
“Yes. The effect of the spell may be stronger if the gem is used directly, but in that case, the gem may be lost or damaged in battle… I recommend using the gem only as a medium when possible to use the spell.”
“Ohhh…”
“Anyway, the sword itself has a soul, so you don’t have to overdo it…”
“I see what you mean.”
After those words, Seong-il breaks up with Belen and tries to return to reality.
“Whoa… First of all, scroll to the magic book of wonder…”
Returning to Pineapple House after a long absence, Seong-il imprints the received scroll on the magic book of wonder and moves to his colleagues.
“Ah! Gongja-nim!!”
“It’s been a while, Eunwol.”
“Yes! Is it almost ten days?”
“Yeah. How are you?”
“Yep! Talking with other people, seeing a lot of interesting things… Wow, Wow…”
“…What are you eating so much?”
“Ah! These are the cookies Miss Elysia baked for me?”
“…”
“Aside from not being able to leave the building, I am very satisfied with each day!
‘…If I leave it like this, I’ll talk to myself all day long.’
Restraining her chattering Eun-wol, Seong-il explains to her what she felt while fighting her white knight the day before.
“Ho… So you’re saying you can actually fight without seeing it with your eyes?”
“Yeah. Roughly.”
“Hoo…”
Eunwol looks at him with a proud expression. She sighs and pats Seong-il on the back and asks him.
“At this point, would you like to try sparring with me again?”
“Oh, that’s nice too… But there’s something I need to do now.”
“…?”
“Ah, I need to do an urgent experiment…”
Ignoring the puzzled Eun-wol, Seong-il takes out the newly acquired 『Cursed Doll』 And 『Playful God’s Dice』 From his inventory.
“Gulp…”
“…Why?”
“Ah, this is a trick-or-treating thing.”
“By the way…?”
“I was wondering if this could solve the problem in this world that I told you about a while ago.”
“Heh… That sounds like fun! Go ahead and do it!”
“Whoa… Now… Then…!”
Seongil carefully throwing the dice on the floor. The die’s eye points to the number 3.
“Fuck… I almost screwed up…”
“Why?”
“Ah, they say that if you get a 4, 5, or 6 from this 10-sided die, you’ll get bad luck. If you roll just one more sideways… Gulp…”
“Ah…”
Just when he thought so, a strange power began to be sensed based on Seongil’s 『Emotion』.
‘…What?’
A pleasant feeling to welcome the warm sunlight and fair wind on a sunny spring day. Now, for some reason, I feel like I can do well no matter what I do.
‘It’s a success…!’
Seong-il instinctively felt that the power of the dice had been activated. He urgently takes out the cursed doll and tries to use it.
“Let’s see… How to use it…”
As the god of the moon told him how to use it, Seong-il writes down the situation he wants to avoid and writes it down on the cursed doll.
『Please prevent a serious, unavoidable crisis that is imminent in reality.』
Saaaaa!!
Seong-il’s body begins to radiate terrifying energy. Black energy radiates from his body, and at some point, the energy starts to be sucked into the doll.
“Huh…”
Eun-wol, who was watching from the sidelines at the vicious energy, puts on a fearful expression as she covers her body with both hands.
‘…He’s a kid who can beat a ghost just by looking at his skills, but he’s really afraid of things like this.’
Seong-il looks at Eun-wol, who is showing a cute side. In the meantime, he confirms that the writing on the paper on which he wrote his wishes is erased, and new bloody letters emerge.
『There is a clue to the culprit where you mainly work. If you remove that clue, you will be able to avoid the crisis for a while.”
“Um… Where I’m active…?”
Since he is a student, Seong-il mainly focuses on college life. He instinctively realizes that the words of his prophecy are somehow referring to his school.
“…Is this the end?”
When I thought so Another blood-colored text begins to appear on the paper.
“The deadline is one month. If you don’t get a clue in it, bad luck will be activated again.』
‘…Fuck, is it Time Attack again?’
Seong-il frowns when the doll tells him to find bad luck in school and get rid of it within a month.
‘It’s bad luck for me… Ah… I can’t believe it…?’
The fear on campus that I felt very accidentally not too long ago. For some reason, Seong-il has a hunch that this is the warning the doll tells him.
‘…Fuck, should I dig it up?’
Come to think of it, Professor Cho Woo-young’s behavior was never normal. Lee Ah-hyun said he was just a cold-hearted person, but Seong-il felt something strange about him as his 『Emotion』 Sharpened.
‘And… When I tried to dig into Lee Ah-hyun’s mind with an old voodoo doll… I saw his memories through Professor Cho Woo-young’s hair…’
Seong-il instinctively realizes that the opportunity he got this time is related to him.
‘…After that, I think I’ll have a one-month grace period, so I’ll have to go back to school soon.’
Seong-il, who has completed his thoughts, meets Erica and others and tells them about the consumed items to request additional supplies.
“…If you make it at most, it will be used up in an instant?”
“Uh… Well… That’s how it turned out.”
“Haa… Okay. First of all, I’ll make potions by type as soon as possible.”
“Oh oh!”
“By the way… Would you like to take this?”
“…?”
Erica suddenly hands Seongil a potion containing a strange colorless liquid. As I look at her bottle with a puzzled look on her last name, she explains her fluids in her playfulness.
“Do you remember mass-produced stamina potions?”
“Yeah. Can you forget that?”
“Whoops!!”
“Why…?”
“This potion is a new potion created by analyzing the degraded version of the stamina potion!!”
“…Oh?”
Seong-il looks at Erisha with an interesting expression when he hears that she has made a new potion. To him, she begins to explain the potion with a proud smile.
“It’s an aphrodisiac!”
“…What?”
“It’s a drug that makes your libido very strong!”
“Ohh…”
“Well… It doesn’t have an ‘extreme’ effect like a stamina potion, but…”
“How effective is it?”
“Uh… Um… Just the level of intense sex drive…?”
“Ohh… I guess it’ll be useful?”
Seong-il picks up Erisha’s potion with a sly look at the use of the potion, which looks pretty useful when used with her own color ball.
‘…I should use it on Lee Ah-hyun while going to reality.’
Seong-il, thinking so, starts moving to a room he misses after a long time.
