@boag Think about it. A ring, gifted to you, then a slow death is introduced before you know it. And when the times up, they would label it as a disease. How many people did the hero pay off to lie? It's why some of us know the malevolence of 'fame'.
It is strange tho.... was the curse is so strong that he needs to use dragon ruby ?
Or the medium for the curse was so rare that he forced to use it ?
Or is it just some elaborate crafty scheme to shame the hero ?
All I know is this : I have bookmarked this manga.
Yeah the setup is a little too soon and too tidy. It’s not the hero, it could be the weedy sage guy. Why no one thought to look beyond the status screen to check Mc for a curse is pretty curious. And why his old party is so nasty to him is strange, too.
Careful MC, Approaching loli's is never truly safe. They aren't like normal children in a normal world. This is the manga world where you don't even need to be a pedophile to fall for them.
Thats why lolicons are not interchangeably pedophiles, because loli's are simply too cute. They are designed to be irresistible like all anime peeps. That being said be careful approaching any child in this hyper sensitive fear mongering age we live in...
The hero didn't actively help him back in ch1 and the curse item belongs to him. I guess the hero see MC's potential rivals his. He cursed him and in case MC confront him, he blame MC for the stolen ring.
@hokujin that's actually exactly what happened in the web novel. And since the curse was dispelled, it rebounded and afflicted Alan instead. Needless to say, shit hits the fan.
@daime17 the web novel didn't say why, but it was probably a lie to make it seem like he gave him something precious to signify their friendship. I doubt anyone would curse a ring that was really owned by their mother to hurt someone else.
i say thats bad move from mc, he already know alan cursed him he is going to ask why? why would alan tell him? world doesnt work like that, if you want to get something you need to work it up, and in this case torture would be good start
@crazybars If that's the case, we got a hero party of dickishness on the level of Shield Hero and "Do you think someone like you could defeat the Demon Lord?" ( https://mangadex.org/title/33268/do-you-think-someone-like-you-could-defeat-the-demon-lord ).
