Holy shit! Did I just receive three skills for just one ordeal? Now I'm really feeling like I just defeated a boss in the dungeon.
- Muahahahahahahaa!!!
It's time to forge this useless shit-headed clerk’s life into something beneficial to me!
There is bunch of content in this game on which other players just gave up, but not me.
Because I know that what they were lacking was patience, and determination to find just the right application to these supposedly useless things.
By playing it I had found one fundamental truth.
Many things in this game may be broken, but hardly anything is useless.
Do you know what was true source of my previous success?
If you want it, I will share my trade secrets with you, just don't share them around, ok?
Fuck, why I'm talking to myself? Well whatever...
Where was I, ah yes...
Cursed Items, that’s right, discarded by others as a useless shit, was their loss and my gain.
In their raw form cursed items usually have a strong, beneficial trait, and one or two adverse traits that can hinder you greatly, or they might just drain your hp slowly till you die.
I was of course the only player that was fuckup enough to equip ten items at the same time.
Of course I had died, many times, but at the same time I was lucky enough to discover something new.
Negative effects of cursed items will stack together, but Items with opposite properties will neutralize each others influence, even if one of the effects is stronger...

So the trick is to stack the items in the right manner, that discovery was a turning point that made me fall to the other side of gaming and to being reborn as a dark gamer.
After I had equipped a bunch of them and didn’t die I had gained a new secret profession, the Cursed Knight.
That profession was not so great, but it had one interesting quality.
Player could be affected only by one curse effect of his own choosing.
In other words I was immune to the most of negative effects that others could throw at me.
Ok, it will be better for me not to delve on the past, in my current state I need to find another way to regain my “badassness”.
I better check my status screen, there must be bunch of exploits that I haven’t figured out yet.
- Status screen... ( I commanded with a little hope bubbling inside my heart)
…
- Hollyshit! What the hell is this "cluster-fuck"?!

Life is a game, with intrusive microtransactions.
Life is a simulation. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging we are just a part of someone's dream, lines of code existing to give purpose for some machine or anything, but why would this unknown entity add microtransactions in it? Maybe because that way it can wake up faster, by consuming parts of it's dream, until... well, who cares about an unknown entity that has nothing to do with this particular story?
