CursedFlix

David told Layla to rest, and he went to buy groceries at the convenience store.

That night, they ate in a very awkward atmosphere.

"Yeah... meat!" Layla said innocently. 

"Where did you get the money to buy all this?" Clara asked David sarcastically. 

"Severance pay! I got fired." David replied in a low tone. 

"Huh? Then how will our lives be later?" Clara asked reflectively. 

"I will look for a new job," David replied briefly.

After eating, David spoke to Clara. "Clara, please! Don't be a lowly woman like that Don't sell yourself just for money!" David said with a pleading tone.

David can still breathe a sigh of relief, as Clara had only just tried to offer her services and flirt with that middle-aged man; fortunately, Clara hadn't had the chance to send her real photo yet.

Clara looked down, "If you had a lot of money, I wouldn't be like this!" 

"Clara, I promise, I'll make it one day!" David promised as usual.

"Two years!" Clara exclaimed. 

"Two years of what!?" David furrowed his brow. 

"If in two years we are still poor and suffering, I will no longer listen to what you say!"

After saying that, Clara left David.

David, as usual, sat in the attic while gazing at the night sky. With a cigarette pinched between his fingers.

"David..." Layla approached him. 

"I want to buy a new uniform!" Layla said. 

"Oh.. don't worry, my severance pay is still there!" David said with a smile. 

"I have money! You don't need to use your money!" Layla replied. 

"Where did you get it from?" David furrowed his brow. 

"I entered a writing competition, and I won! First place hehehehe..." Layla smiled while raising her finger. 

David gently patted Layla's head, "Smart girl!" David said. 

*** 

At night, David, as usual, had trouble sleeping. Daydreaming again as usual. 

"I'm stressed, what should I do!?" "Moreover, my smoking habit is getting worse!"

The clock struck midnight. As the time showed 00:01.

\[ DING! \]

\[ Daily Quest: Physical Exercise: Failed!! \]

The hologram screen reappeared before David, accompanied by a robotic woman's voice.

David sat down, "What is this?" "I was dreaming of a song," David hadn't finished his sentence.

\[ The Punishment Will Begin \]

\[ 3... 2... 1... \]

David felt himself being pulled back, "Huh?" David glanced around in every direction. David is in a room like a movie theater, his hands tied to the chair, while his head is shackled and forced to face the movie screen. 

"What is this? "What is this?"

The system issued its notification again.

\[ You have failed to complete the Daily Quest! \]

\[ You will be punished \]

\[ Punishment: CursedFliX! \]

The hologram screen is gone, and the screen in the cinema shows a countdown.

3... 2.... 1.....

The cinema screen shows Clara. Clara walks in her school park, appearing alongside a student who is very close to her.

At school, Clara is often teased by her classmates; she is nicknamed 'the shabby girl' because her white uniform has started to look yellowed.

"Clara!" David felt pity for his sister.

The movie screen goes dark again and displays a text.

***Broken Flower*** 

After displaying that title, the screen began to show Clara again.

Now on the cinema screen, a scene shows David trying to stop Clara from leaving the house, but Clara is picked up by some muscular men. David couldn't fight back against them; his physical strength was too weak.

Clara was taken to a nightclub wearing sexy clothes. There, a middle-aged man invited her to a hotel, and David, who witnessed it, felt furious.

"Clara, don't! Clara!!" shouted David.

What David will see will shake and shatter his mind.

"Ahhh... Daddy... Ah...."

Clara is doing something disgusting with two middle-aged men, and David feels nauseous because of the scene.

David cried, "Clara! Clara!" 

***Clap..*** 

The screen went black again. "Stop! Stop!!!!!" David protested.

The cinema screen is once again showing a film, with Layla as the star.

Layla is sitting in her class, writing a story. The book was taken, and her friends read Layla's story aloud.

"My hardworking brother, bwahahah..."

"That's so silly, ahhaha... Poor him. He need work hard because he's trapped with a person like you, hahahhahaa..."

Laughter fills the entire room.

The movie theater screen has gone dark again.

A writing has reappeared.

***Taboo: Lost of Love*** 

The screen now displays Layla's figure again, but this time she appears to be smiling wickedly. While typing on his laptop, the camera zoomed in on the laptop and clearly displayed it on the cinema screen.

It seems Layla is typing a story. David read the story, and he felt nauseous.

The story is about a blood relationship, and the name David is written there. Layla's feelings for David became strange.

Not only that, after finishing typing and closing her laptop, she got up and left the room. It turns out, that is the house where they live now.

Layla went downstairs, she went to the warehouse.

There is Clara sitting tied up, "Because of you! You slut!!" "David ended up going crazy and committing suicide!!!" 

***Slap....*** 

Layla slapped Clara, "Forgive me, forgive me, Layla!!" 

"Forgive!? You have already made David suffer, now it's your turn to suffer!"

"Layla, don't... LAYLA..."

David cried as he watched Layla turn into a psychopath.

This time, David's show is a bit long; the screen shows Layla meeting some thugs. Layla pays them, and the thugs kidnap someone."Livy!?" David exclaimed in surprise.

Livy was kidnapped and Layla became a torturer again. The sense of loss that befell Layla has transformed the Layla in the CursedFlix show into a strange and crazy person.

The screen went dark and displayed text.

"What you see is the suffering that will befall your two younger sisters if you fail in your life!" 

David was deep in thought, the heavy burden of responsibility weighing on his shoulders. 

"I have to succeed! I have to succeed!" 

"Whatever it takes!? Do whatever it takes! I will succeed! I will not fail in my life!"

A fiery spirit of enthusiasm arose in David's heart.

The notification from the system sounded again.

***DING!***

[ Punishment Completed! ]

"Bwaaagghhhh...." David woke up with irregular breathing.

"Dream?" David walked to the bathroom.

The clock shows 4:00 AM. 

David washes his face, "Thank goodness it was just a dream! System? Dark Triad System? What is that!?"

David stared at the mirror in the bathroom.

\[DING!  \]

\[Daily Quest: Physical Training!  \]

\[Push Up 100x  \]

\[Pull Up 100x \]

\[Squat 100x \]

\[30 Minutes of Walking \]

The hologram screen reappeared along with a robotic woman's voice.

"Huh, what is this?" David furrowed his brow.

\[Welcome to the Dark Triad System \] 

"Is this real?" David furrowed his brow.

"This must be a hallucination!!" 

David washed his face again, "Daily Quest?" "What if I don't finish it, will I go back to having nightmares?"

***DING!***

\[ That's not a nightmare, that's a punishment for not completing the Daily Quest \]

"Huh!?" David exclaimed. "But that can't be reality, right?" David's eyes widened. 

\[ That was a prediction of what was expected to happen if you failed in your life; the accuracy of the prediction is 80% \]
