Day 3 Part 1

Day 3

I opened my eyes today from my dreamless sleep to an unfamiliar ceiling. It only took me a moment to remember that I moved into the curse store.

Getting off my bed I started my day by unpacking my stuff to look for some clean clothes and took a shower.

Once I finished my shower I went downstairs to the store area and opened my inventory.

( Inventory:

•Normal:

[Curse Paper Talisman Book (Basic) x500], [Curse Pencil Box (Basic) x250], [Curse Bedsheet (Basic) x75], [Curse Monkey Paw], [Curse Notebook (Intermediate)]

•Divine:

[Curse Ring (Basic) x25]

•Demonic:

[Cursed Glasses (Basic) x25], [Demonic Cosplay: Faceless Mask], [Demonic Book: Three Roads], [Demonic Tome: Santa Naughty List]

Chat Group Points (CGP): 000)

Looking at my inventory I found they are separated by classifications.

Trying out something I stuck out my hand and touched one out of random.

(Host has chosen [Demonic Book: Three Roads] would host like to 1) Look at its information. 2) Remove item from inventory.)

Seeing the choices I chose to remove it from the inventory. Once I did a black book with golden words appear in front of me.

Grabbing the book I try to put it back in the inventory but with no success. It seems to be a one-way thing.

After knowing that I went to the empty storage room and place everything in the inventory there. The Curse Paper Talisman Book, Curse Pencil Box, Curse Bedsheet, Curse Ring, and Cursed Glasses had all came out in packed boxes while Demonic Cosplay: Faceless Mask, Demonic Tome: Santa Naughty List came in display boxes.

Seeing this I took the display boxes but the Demonic Cosplay: Faceless Mask and put them in the glass counter. I then moved 100 Curse Paper Talisman Book (Basic) and all the Curse Bedsheet (Basic) to the wall cabinets. After that, I got all the Curse Ring (Basic), Demonic Book: Three Roads, and Cursed Glasses (Basic) in the glass counter so no one can use them by accident.

Once I stocked the store somewhat I move on and looked the Lottery option in the interface.

(Lottery

1) Free Draw (07:30:24 Time Left Until Next Draw)

2) Regular Draw ($50)

3) Draw 10 ($450)

4) Event Draw (Locked)

5) Demonic Draw ($100)

...)

Wow, now that I look closely at it draws are expensive.

After looking through it again I closed the interface and went back upstairs to unpack my stuff and organize it around the apartment until it was lunchtime when I heard a voice coming from downstairs.

I found it off seeing how the front door should be locked up.

Going downstairs to see who will visit this place in the middle of nowhere I saw a dark skin man wearing baggy close finding his face familiar I called out to him.

"John, what are you doing here?"

"Hi, Brian I came to visit. Also, who owns this store they're being careless by leaving the door unlocked and no one watching over it."

The door was unlocked? It's probably the store doing, after all, it's cursed maybe it's a way to drag in people into it to buy stuff or something.

"Haha, the store is mine it came with the apartment free of charge. I left the door unlocked because I don't expect anyone to come. Do you want to eat something I was about to order a pizza or two."

"Sure, I have time."

After he agreed we went upstairs where I order the pizzas and it didn't take long until I heard a voice coming from downstairs.

When I reached the store area I saw a plane looking tan girl around 5'8 with dirty blond hair wearing a green uniform.

"Hello, sorry for the wait. How much is it?"

"$10.56"

"Okay, and thanks."

After paying for the pizzas I turned around to leave until I heard the girl's voice stopping me from leaving.

"Hey, how much for the rings?"

"Hmm, oh I don't recommend buying them."

"Why are they expensive or something?"

"Yes, they are cursed."

"Haha cursed that's a good one. Really how much are they and don't give me anymore bs."

Ah, what am I post to do now? I can't really sell a cursed object to someone for no good reason. Maybe I should make something up to put her off from buying it and if she still insists it's not like the curse of the ring does much.

"They cost $50 each and they are promise rings. I don't usually sell them to people who walk in by themselves."

"Oh, then I'll come back later with my boyfriend."

After she said that she left without saying anything else.

Seeing her leave I go back upstairs where I saw John waiting for me.

"Sorry about the wait."

"Finally what took you."

"It was the delivery girl she wants to know how much I sold my rings for."

"Oh, did you sell any?"

"No, she will come back later with her boyfriend to buy some. Man, she was annoying so I shot up the price and said they are made for couple."

"Really how much are they normally and how much did you buy them for?"

"I charged her $50 for each and I don't have a set price for them yet. And, I didn't pay much for them I got them for cheap from a jewelry warehouse."

"Haha, so you're going to rip her off because she was annoying. Man, I should open a store to just do that as well."

"Yeah, you should. If you meet anyone like her you should do the same thing as me and overcharge them."

"Your right but unlike you, I wouldn't have made her come back and just sold her the ring right away. I rather have the money now than later."

"Oh, I should have done that. I regret my decision now. So how's living in the apartment without me?"

"Not good Bills' girlfriend wants to move into your old room but Bill doesn't want that. They started a fight before I left to came and visit you. I give them a week at most and until the three day weekend for the least."

We kept talking some more until he had to leave for work. I then started to clean up by taking the pizza boxes to the dumpster outside.

I should have told him to do this before he left but like usual he leaves before I can tell him anything.

I was at the store area as there's no back door when the front door was suddenly opened by itself and in came a familiar face along with a new one. It was the delivery girl and who I'm guessing is her boyfriend.

Seeing them I put down the pizza boxes and was about to greet them but stopped seeing that they were in the middle of a heated conversation.

"Come let's get those rings and leave then we can talk."

"No Martha this is important."

"Really what is it then?"

"I want to break up."

"What!?"

Wow, they're going break up here. Never expected this it's like a tv drama just without the beautiful actors and confusing storylines.

"I want to break up. I don't think we should be together."

"Then who should we be with. No better question who's the girl."

"It's not a girl."

"Then is it a man!!"

"Yes, and it's Joseph."

Well, this is unexpected.

"Your friend Joseph that Gaylord!!"

Wow, this is getting more interesting and I don't know what's going on anymore.

"Yes, he and I are having an affair for a while now. I was putting off telling you until now but when you told me that we were going to get promise rings today, I know it was time to tell you. Sorry, I should have told you earlier. I know it's selfish of me for not telling you and I hope one day you can forgive me. Until then goodbye."

Once he said his apologies to her he left without giving her the chance to talk.

Now that's over there's a crying girl in my store mumbling to herself nonstop.

"I should have know... This must be a joke... A year of dating... I should have noticed..."

I should do something. This is getting out of hand.

"Umm, Martha right? Are you okay?"

"Am I okay, let me see my boyfriend for a year has broken up with me when I took him to buy some stupid promise rings hoping he will get the hint that I wanted an engagement ring. It's not just that here I thought he was the one but it turns out he is gay and was cheating on me for who knows how long and now you ask me if I'm okay! Do I look okay to you!"

"Hahaha... Sorry for asking then. Is there anything I can help you with."

"No, but can I use your restroom to clean up myself."

"Sure it's in the back follow me."

I then took her to the first-floor restroom and left her alone for a little while to go throw away the pizza boxes.

When I returned to the store from throwing away the boxes I saw a girl in the middle of a mental breakdown just put on the Cursed Ring.

This isn't good.

Hearing someone walk-in she moved her head and look at me making eye contact.

F*ck!!
