A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

In the face of a choice between his sister's life and his own dignity, Kenmei Isayama chose his sister's life, which in turn allowed the Kamo family's healer to treat his sister.

It was from that old man, old enough to be Kenmei Isayama's great-grandfather, that Isayama Sakura's illness was more like a special "curse" than a disease. It was incurable by modern medicine, but the same was true for "curses".

This "curse" is of a very high level, and even the old man's level of sorcery couldn't dispel it. It's more like that Isayama Sakura was carrying it in her mother's womb before she was born. For some reason, it didn't manifest when she was young, and by the time she grew up and the curse erupted, it was too late to cure her.

Both medicine and magic were helpless in treating Isayama Sakura's condition, and at that time, Isayama Kenmei felt like the sky was about to fall.

Isayama Sakura is truly optimistic; she knows she is terminally ill and takes a detached view of life and death.

Instead of wasting time lying in a hospital bed, you should go out and have some fun.

Because it's a curse that grows in the pancreas.

Therefore, my sister has a special obsession with the pancreas.

"After I die, you can eat my pancreas..."

Isayama Sakura often said

"I've heard that if someone eats your pancreas, your soul will live on in that person's body forever."

"I want to live, to live in the body of someone I cherish."

But the older sister did not die from the outbreak of the curse...

Chapter 3 is all lies

A teenage girl was brutally murdered in the street!!!

The newspaper, nailed to the most conspicuous wall in the living room, with several large, scarlet characters, indicated the seriousness of this heinous incident.

It made headlines in the evening newspaper.

According to sources, the victim was a female high school student in the city who was found without any signs of life.

"The methods used in the crime were extremely cruel and violent, which had a serious negative impact on society. The perpetrator has now been apprehended and brought to justice."

In an attempt to sensationalize and grab attention, the unscrupulous newspaper completely disregarded the feelings of the victim's family and published photos of mangled bodies that were blurred but whose blood and flesh were still vaguely discernible.

The victim in this incident, as reported in the newspaper, was Kenmei Isayama's older sister.

Isayama Sakura

According to the newspaper description, she was brutally murdered by a "murderer" in an alley. The killer was discovered by passersby while dismembering the body and called the police, who then stopped the crime.

Rereading and viewing these texts and images, strangely enough, Kenmei Isayama could not muster even a trace of anger or hatred that could have sparked it; it was as if something had forcibly stifled it.

This is highly abnormal. His sister, with whom he depended on each other for survival, was brutally murdered. How could Isayama Kenmei, as her brother, remain indifferent to the killer? It wouldn't be unreasonable for a normal person to want to inflict the most cruel punishment on the murderer; that's the only normal reaction.

Because anger and resentment, two factors that lead to emotional outbursts, no longer exist in him.

According to the sorcery community, the phenomenon that occurred to Kenmei Isayama can be summarized as an alternative version of "divinely bestowed curse".

In short, it is equivalent exchange.

To gain great benefits at a great cost

The most famous one is Fushiguro Jinji, who is now known as the "Heaven-Given Tyrant" in the world of sorcery and is on par with the Kamo family. He was once a member of the Zenin family and possesses the power to break the limits of the human body at the cost of losing his incantation power from birth.

However, Kenmei Isayama's situation is somewhat different; his condition is acquired, not innate.

What power is unlocked by using one's own emotions of "anger" and "hatred" as a price?

That is the Warhammer simulator.

On the night they learned that their sister's illness was caused by some unknown and terrible curse, a curse that neither modern medicine nor sorcery could cure.

Kenmei Isayama told his sister that he wanted to go for a walk by himself.

In the cruel world of sorcery, the siblings depended on each other for survival, and just staying alive was exhausting enough. Just when things were starting to look up, his sister was tormented by illness, and now she was trying to take away Kenmei Isayama's only family member.

His past life as an orphan made him cherish this hard-won family bond.

But the already predetermined ending caused Kenmei Isayama even more pain than being stabbed in the heart.

Kenmei Isayama, with bloodshot eyes and a look that suggested he wanted to devour someone.

"This damned world!"

"What did my sister do wrong?"

As his emotions grew increasingly agitated, Kenmei Isayama himself was unaware of it.

A blood-red mark had appeared on the back of his neck at some point, and the extremely eerie curse aura was no less than that emanating from his sister, Isayama Sakura.

The mark on Kenmei Isayama, which was originally dormant, has now been fully activated. Its effect seems to be to further intensify Kenmei Isayama's resentment and hatred, amplifying the negative emotions in his heart a hundredfold or a thousandfold.

Without Isayama Kenmei's knowledge, he felt the emptiness in his chest growing ever larger, and anger and hatred filled his entire mind.

The eerie mark grew increasingly blood-red, turning a dark red, and became increasingly ominous.

Finally, with the snapping of a string, Kenmei Isayama felt a sharp pain in his head and lost consciousness; he knew nothing after that.

The source of the curse power is negative emotions. Because of the unknown blood-red mark, Isayama Kenmei lost control of his emotions, and his negative emotions at that time were enough to trigger an extremely strong rampage of curse power.

An unusual situation has occurred!

“The system is awakening as it detects extreme negative emotions of ‘anger’ and ‘resentment’ in the host.”

Kenmei Isayama appeared

A black hole-like object appeared, like a bottomless abyss, frantically devouring the cursed power within him.

The curse on the back of Kenmei Isayama's neck seemed to have a mind of its own, transforming into a ferocious, blood-red skull that was now enraged and wanted to rebel and tear apart this unknown change.

But soon it let out a mournful cry and even tried to escape from Kenmei Isayama's body, because it realized that the two were not even in the same league.

The curse lurking within Kenmei Isayama could not escape this terrifying being no matter how much it resisted, and it was absorbed along with the curse.

"10%...30%...70%...100%...Awakening complete!"

Loading...

[Loading complete!]

When Kenmei Isayama regained consciousness, he found himself lying in a hospital bed.

Meanwhile, Isayama Sakura, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, immediately hugged her younger brother when she saw him wake up and began to sob.

Kenmei Isayama, who was being hugged by his crying older sister, was still a little dazed.

Is it an illusion?

Before Izayama Kenmei's eyes suddenly appeared five large, burning, gilded characters that only he could see.

Warhammer Simulator!

The first glance at the simulator

Kenmei Isayama was drawn to a line of small text at the bottom of the minimalist page, which conveyed a profound sense of history.

It was written in a language that did not exist in the world of Kenmei Isayama, yet he could still understand it.

There, it is written with magnificent momentum.

"No great sacrifice should be in vain."

From that day on, Kenmei Isayama lost his feelings of anger and hatred, and instead gained a power called the Warhammer Simulator.

Isayama Kenmei didn't know where this thing, which only he could see, came from, or why it had befallen him.

It might have been a joke by the gods, or a mockery of fate, but it was indeed the last straw in Kenmei Isayama's hands. He had discovered that the key to exorcising the curse on his sister lay in the Warhammer Simulator he had obtained.

But no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

The newspaper report made it clear that fate had once again played a cruel trick on him.

While Kenmei Isayama was frantically working day and night to meet the requirements for unlocking the Warhammer Simulator, he received this devastating news.

When the forensic pathologist led him to see his sister, Isayama Sakura, covered in a blood-stained white sheet again, Isayama Kenmei painfully wondered why the awakening of the Warhammer Simulator only stripped him of "anger" and "hatred," and why it didn't also strip him of his sorrow and despair.

The forensic doctor managed to support Kenmei Isayama's body in time, preventing him from collapsing to the ground.

When they met again, the siblings' identities had both undergone tremendous changes.

One is alive, the other is dead.

One is the victim, and the other is the victim's family member.

The combination of two identities brought Kenmei Isayama not only despair, but also a sense of utter devastation, as if the sky had fallen.

Shaking off the hand that was blocking him from seeing his sister clearly through the white cloth, Kenmei Isayama rushed forward like a madman.

The white cloth was lifted.

Just one glance at the morgue was enough to break Kenmei Isayama.

The gruesome state of the body was the real reason why the forensic doctor prevented the victim's family from seeing it.

Kenmei Isayama stared wide-eyed, not even realizing when he had fallen to the ground.

He curled up helplessly beside the morgue, his knees covering his eyes as he wept silently.

At that moment, he knew he no longer had a home; the happy little home that belonged to his sister and him was gone.

As Kenmei Isayama wept, a flash of red light appeared in his eyes.

And he also learned something.

News reports, television, radio—everything about Sakura Isayama's death is false.

It's all lies.

On the information panel of the Warhammer Simulator, Kenmei Isayama could see it very clearly.

The system notification popped up immediately the moment he lifted the white cloth.

[Absorb spell power, points +100]

Points are key to Kenmei Isayama activating the Warhammer Simulator. Points come from curse power, something he excels at handling.

At that moment, I realized that this was not an ordinary murder case at all, but a cursed murder case.

Has the murderer been apprehended and brought to justice?

Kenmei Isayama had no idea that the Japanese police had become so powerful.
