I Can Copy Curses

On the screen that appeared before them was a floating castle. The castle was enclosed in a giant bubble of some sort, making it appear very mysterious.

Orion's eyes widened when he saw it.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The scene soon changed, showing three kids, about eighteen years old, training in the garden. One was using lightning bolts, shaping them into different forms, while the other two were teleporting here and there, with one of the two also trying to create a sword out of space and void.

They were all happily training when one of them suddenly stopped. It was the kid practicing different forms of teleportation. He paused and looked down at the ground for a moment before spreading his hands toward the other two.

The other two figures were immediately drawn to his hands as he held them by their necks.

"Ron! What are you doing?" Famir shouted, feeling the grip on his neck tighten.

"Have you gone mad or what?" Ryfin also shouted angrily.

Ron smiled at both of them and said, "I've had enough of you two. You can die now." With those words, he crushed their necks.

Ryfin and Famir died, their eyes wide at that moment.

"No! Tell me this is wrong! Tell me this is a lie!" Orion shouted at the old man, his eyes red. Tears fell as he looked at the old man with hatred. "You did this! You killed them."

The old man sighed. "I didn't do anything, and this is live footage. What you saw was Ron killing Ryfin and Famir."

Orion clenched his fists and glared at the old man with incomparable hatred. "No! It's all your fault. You created this world, you created this situation, you made me believe in Ron. Aghhh!" he shouted and raged at the old man.

"If only you hadn't created that Ron character, my friends would have been fine. It's your fault. It's your fault. It's your fault." Orion's face twisted in anger, his hair disheveled as he stared at the old man. "You killed us on Earth under the pretext of transmigration, and now that we're here, you don't care about us? I had a life there on Earth, a happy life, but for your stupid story, you killed me and then transmigrated me here just so that I could save your stupid world."

"It's not like that," the old man said calmly.

"It's not like that?" Orion sneered, pointing at Mark and Mei Lin. "Why don't you show them what you showed me? Just let them see it before sending them on a mission to save your stupid world."

The old man frowned at Orion's words.

"What are you talking about?" Mark asked, looking at Orion. Mei Lin also looked at Orion for an answer.

"This old man is no god but a fraud," Orion said mockingly, pointing at the old man. "You two had lives there on Earth. You two weren't supposed to die that day; the old man killed you and transmigrated you here. He did the same to others."

"Now that I think about it, my death is very questionable," Orion laughed bitterly. "I died just because I failed an exam that would guarantee me a job. I got a heart attack when I found out I failed to get the job. This death situation seems completely stupid now that I think about it."

Mark and Mei Lin began looking at the old man questioningly.

"Is that true?" Mei Lin asked with a frown.

"It's not," the old man said calmly. "He's angry because his friends died, but he refuses to accept that it was because of him that they are dead."

Orion clenched his fists when he heard the old man. He knew it was his fault. He accepted Ron as his friend, and that ultimately led to the demise of his friends, but he also understood that this was a story written by the old man, who knew about everything. He knew his friends would die, and instead of sending him there to protect them, he showed him their deaths.

"I'm also starting to doubt you," Mei Lin said, narrowing her eyes as she looked at the old man. "I died while drinking water and choked to death. I hadn't thought much about it, but after hearing Orion, it doesn't make sense for someone to die while drinking water. While it may happen and be rare, what are the chances that I'd die like that, and you 'magnanimously' transmigrated me?"

"Huh? I told you this old man is a fraud," Orion sneered with red eyes. If he could, he would kill this old man right here and now to end it all. End this stupid world.

"Some things are bound to happen, like your deaths. Even if I knew, I couldn't stop it," the old man replied calmly.

"What about you, Mark? How did you die?" Orion asked him.

Mark frowned and looked down. "I killed myself," he said quietly.

Orion was shocked at Mark's words, and so was Mei Lin.

"Why would you do that?" Orion asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Mark replied, looking gloomily at Orion. "Just know that it wasn't an impulsive decision. I thought a lot about it before doing it."

"See that?" the old man said calmly. "If someone is destined to die, then no matter how or when, they would die, even if doing the simplest thing. Death is constant; no one can change that."

"No one can change that?" Orion mocked. "If you had just let me go there instead of letting me watch my friends die, then I'm very sure I could have changed that. I could have saved my friends from dying, but no, you just had to set an example by letting them die."

He shook his head. "Now I'm starting to wonder if I should help you or not, if I should help the humans or not," he said, looking at the old man. "What do you think, old man? What should I do?"

"You can die." The old man smiled and snapped his fingers, and Orion exploded into pieces.

Mark and Mei Lin were shocked when they saw that and immediately backed away from the old man.
