I Kadeuneun Jegohal Ssu Opsseumnida

Taehyun, a F-class part-time worker who usually lives a life far from dungeons, gets caught up in an unknown event in a dungeon he entered for the first time. When he comes to his senses, he has a suspicious card in his hand that turns into a human, and the card introduces itself as a ‘curse’…

But this card keeps taking Taehyun, who has trauma, to dangerous dungeons? What on earth is his purpose, and is it okay for Taehyun to be around this card?

“…Huh?”

Then something unexpected happened. Just as my hand was about to touch his face, he suddenly opened his closed eyes.

They were golden. They were so intense that they felt like they were glowing and burning in the dark, mesmerizing the beholder.

[This has a bitter aftertaste. What brought this one here is ruin and regret] .

An unidentifiable voice echoed in the back of my mind like an auditory hallucination.

Ruin? Regret? I didn’t understand what it was saying, but I was sure of one thing: This voice was definitely that of the man with the red hair. His lips barely parted, let alone spoke, but it was unmistakably his.

[But it’s not bad, perhaps it’s befitting of the host of the curse. Well, I’ve had a good night’s sleep, so I’ll stir myself up—]

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Host of the curse? Could he be referring to me? Just as I was beginning to wonder if I shouldn’t have taken the right corridor after all, the man closed his eyes again and his entire body began to glow faintly.

The man’s mouth, which hadn’t shifted the entire time, curved into a soft smile. The thought that his expression was more beautiful than anyone I’d ever seen before crossed my mind, a thought that didn’t seem to fit the current situation.

[I’m a curse that will be bound to you from now on, so take care of me] .

The man’s body was engulfed in a bright light. The last thing I saw before squeezing his eyes shut was not the man from before, but a brilliant, yet somehow ominous purple card.
