The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

I'm not like a normal person.

By the time my heart came to pass, I knew about it.

From time to time, unbearable pain dominates the whole body.

There were several types of pain, some like electric shock running through the body, and some lasting blunt pain.

There are other things I hate the most when I can tighten my heart like it's been eagled.

All this time, it is difficult to breathe, tears spill from the jaws.

After getting an appraisal done at an early age that was too strange, it turned out that there was a curse system skill called [Sixteen Death Marks].

"Maria... your father will heal you."

Still, I was blessed with my family.

Sometimes I'm the daughter of the Duke of Albert family, and people around me are really nice to me.

From an early age, many people moved desperately to cure my curse system skills.

In the process, it also turned out why I had such a heavy curse.

Apparently, the Albert family ancestors defeated the spellman more than two hundred years ago. In doing so, he was cast by the curse that his offspring would suffer.

Not all descendants had a curse, and fathers, brothers, etc. were fine in their families.

I was the only one who kept suffering for a long time.

"I said I don't have time for this anymore..."

"Kuck, as much as I'd like to take your place!

"Find someone, someone more promising, from outside the country."

The night we celebrated our sixteenth birthday. As I went down from my room to the ground floor, I heard conversations between my parents and my brother from across the door.

He seemed to be talking about my curse.

I won't be able to live another year more than I have sixteen death marks.

The family worked in every way, asking the royal family to help, and gathered many good cursers.

But as no one could break my curse.

"How could I... even though I still want to live..."

I was afraid that I was sixteen, and I cried through my birthday night until morning.

But because of that, one determination was consolidated.

- I want to go to a hero school.

When I told him that at breakfast, the family had all stopped by surprise.

He said we should focus on those who treat our bodies.

But all this time I hit my opinion hard.

"Even if my illness heals, I'll be in trouble if I'm unemployed then. So I want to go to school. I'll try to cure you while you're on your way."

My family respected my opinion.

To tell the truth... I'd already given up.

There is no escape from the death mark of sixteen.

If so, at least until the last moment of his death, let him live with dignity as Maria Fiana Albert!

That's what I decided to do.

My childhood friend Amane told me she wanted to go to school with me, and we both went to take the exam.

So there were two surprises.

One, that there was a threesome who passed the first test with an overwhelming score.

There are three of them: Mr. Knoll, Mr. Emma and Mr. Lenor.

And the second is that this [stone bullet] released by Mr. Knoll was much smaller than normal.

Though curseful, I grew up with an English talent education like any other nobleman. I have been mentored by excellent tutors.

Some teachers are very good at magic, and that person has spoken this way in the past.

"Stone bullets are one piece of magic that you can't use much. Whoever uses it can only give it about the same size. This won't do much damage if you hit it directly."

"Really?"

"Oh, but... you have exceptions. Two hundred years ago, there was a famous adventurer named Olivia who seemed to be able to shoot giant stones and vice versa."

"How did it work?

"You know, I remember something called editing skills."

"Then if you are the descendant of that person, or..."

"Because that seems to have gone missing while unmarried"

"Really..."

If you could edit your skills, wouldn't you be able to change my curse system skills as well?

Such a glimmer of hope was immediately turned down.

I guess the curse still won't go away.

That's what I thought, but when I saw Mr. Knoll's stone bullet at the test venue, I had hope in my chest again.

Isn't Nor remembering his editorial skills?

The overwhelming score also showed signs that it was not the norm.

I want to talk!

I hoped so, but suddenly I also felt rude speaking up and shy.

Then a few days later, I'm fortunate to see Mr. Nor and Mr. Emma. They felt bad if they seemed to get along and get in the way, but they took the courage to say hello.

... Good, I could talk to Mr. Knoll.

Anyway, let's also ask about editing skills.

That's what I thought, but they were a little sweet.

A few days later, I had been struggling with pain since morning.

The rice doesn't even go through your throat, your chest hurts severely just one step.

Still, I go to school. Today is the day to ask Mr. Knoll if he has editorial skills.

"Ha, ha, it hurts... it hurts..."

My chest was tightened with a Gyu and I couldn't move from by the stairs.

Maybe even die today.

It's horrible, and I'm about to cry.

Then, as if God had rewarded me, Mr. Noll and Ms. Emma walked through the hallway.

The gospel, that was not all.

"To Mr. Knoll, Emma, I'm sorry. I'm just weak, and I'm sorry for this inconvenience."

"The truth is, it's a curse system skill, isn't it?

"... why would you do that?

- Mr. Knoll was spotting everything.

Before this one explains it, everything. The kind of curse, the effect.

Even more surprisingly, he offered to use his own vitality to free me from the curse!

All I could say was thank you already.

I can't believe you've been thinking about me just a few times face-to-face. I couldn't contain my emotions and cried heavily in front of him.

◇ ◆ ◇

Taking care of myself, I decided to go back to my home.

After school, Mr. Knoll told me he was going to visit the house.

Close your eyes in the bed. My chest hurts like a bump. But is this due to a curse?

I've always felt restless.

He went down to the living room with a painful chest and blurred out the window.

"Ma'am, are you expecting someone important?

Deacon, who has been in the Albert family for years, says strangely. You took care of me from a young age, and I was the one you could forgive.

"Yeah, you'll see more of the same class soon"

"Is it a man?

"Yes, I am. How did you know that?

"No, did the lady get to be that age? It's good to see this old lady's mistress before she dies."

"Lovers!? Chi, no. He and I are just friends."

"Really? You look like you've been in a lot of love... oh, didn't you come? Please wait."

Apparently, a guest visited the front door.

Two men and women were brought here by the butler.

One kept waiting, Mr. Knoll.

And the other, it was a beautiful half-elf woman.

I actually knew a woman named Luna once.

Some of the cursers my family had been looking for were her.

A very competent person who also works as a Virgin. But in the past, he refused once that my curse could not be lifted.

"Mr. Knoll? That person..."

"Yes, we met once, didn't we? She's the one who frees Maria from the curse."

"I'm Luna. The verse excused me without a curse. I heard from Lord Knoll that if I let him go, I would die skill, and I realized my mistake. Now I want you to let me break the curse."

Ever since I first met him, I've felt very courteous and trustworthy. I also know that people trust me as a Virgin.

"Weren't you saying no then because there was a reason?

"Yes, my cursing skills have a price to pay. Depending on the intensity of the curse, you must shred your own life"

"That's it. So...!

I shake my head left and right. I can't do you any favors.

Mr. Luna is a Virgin needed by many. It is very unacceptable, such as helping yourself and others in exchange for such a person's life.

But Mr. Knoll smiles tenderly.

"It's okay. I've changed the price with my editing skills."

"Um, Lord Maria. There's nothing wrong with that. Come on, let's fix it. Close your eyes."

"Yes, sir"

As I am told, I lower my eyelids.

I can see they touched me around the chest.

Immediately, I felt something tender and warm pouring into me strongly.

"Now it's supposed to be done... is there any pain?

That's what Mr. Luna asks me, and I notice that my health is dramatically improving there.

My chest... doesn't hurt at all.

The bitterness of earlier is disappearing like a lie.

"That's a success. Sixteen dead marks, completely gone."

Yes, Mr. Knoll told me.

So Mr. Luna drew me softly to his own chest.

"It would have been hard on my own the whole time. It's okay from now on."

I still have an incredible self.

That's what he says to me.

"There is no future for Maria to suffer the curse. Rest assured."

With Mr. Knoll's smile in my eyes, I finally feel free from the curse.

"Ah... ah..."

Thank you, I didn't spin the word well even though I wanted to tell you so.

Since when have you been so overflowing with tears? No, I'm sure it's the first time I've been born.

The curse should have completely disappeared, but my chest hurts again.

But this isn't because it's hard.

I think it's because I'm thankful and full of breasts.
