It has six eyes, and also fiery red eyes.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 2011, this important year, has arrived.

At the same time, this year also marked the turning point in Rika's fate.

On this day, Yuta witnessed Rika's death. In that instant, his cursed power went out of control, and he rejected her death in his heart. And in that instant, Rika, who was just an ordinary person, was cursed by Yuta.

Its immense magical power directly transformed the opponent into a top-tier magical spirit.

But is this really the case?

This sudden and dramatic change was something even Yuta, a powerful sorcerer, could not stop.

We could only watch helplessly as it all happened.

Looking at Rika's blood-soaked corpse, and at the monster that emerged from the ground, this special-grade cursed spirit that was connected to him.

Yuta's heart nearly broke down in an instant.

However, his years of training were not to be underestimated. He quickly calmed down, stepped forward with trembling hands, examined Rika's body, and confirmed her death once again.

His reversal techniques were useless.

(P.S. His copying technique allowed him to possess numerous other people's techniques and abilities, and his subtle manipulation and deep understanding of magical power eventually enabled him to master the reversal technique as well.)

He paused for a moment, then immediately called his sister.

Everything that followed was orderly, logical, and yet somewhat absurd.

Rika was confirmed dead. Her guardian, her grandmother, merely glanced at her body, took the death compensation, and when she saw that the family of one of her close friends offered to help, she simply handed the body over to them and left, leaving it to fend for itself.

Yuta watched these things unfold in a daze, while his sister disposed of Rika's ashes and placed them in a public cemetery.

Rika, just like that, she's gone?

He seemed somewhat dazed and disoriented.

In a daze, he had no idea what his future held.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Rika has been my only good friend since I was a child.

Now I don't even have my one and only good friend left.

He had no interest in going to school.

Sister, I don't know what you're doing, you seem to be quite busy lately.

In a fit of anger, he simply ran away from home.

The little boy packed his bags, kept it a secret from his family, left a letter saying he was running away from home, and just like that, he left.

His family members were very anxious upon receiving the news and wanted to find him.

He didn't answer the phone when I tried to contact him.

Xing, who had been busy for a long time, returned home to find herself completely bewildered by this news.

Ah this?

Surely not? Is it really that serious?

However, it is indeed quite shocking to see your childhood friend lose his life right before your eyes.

However, the path of a sorcerer has always been so dangerous!

The road ahead can only go forward; there is no turning back.

Behind him lay the blood and bones of his comrades.

They were walking on a bloody path.

A sorcerer must never fear death. When you do, the consequences on your sorcery power become immeasurable.

The curses of sorcerers only become more terrifying.

His skills have indeed improved with long-term training, but Yuta's mentality definitely needs further development.

Upon receiving news that her younger brother had run away from home, Xing immediately contacted Mikage, who was hiding by his side.

Seeing that the other person is still alive and well, I decided to cut ties with them.

This kid's going through a rebellious phase; he needs to be properly managed.

I had originally planned to secretly tell him the news, but I'll just keep it a secret for now.
