Chương 102: Chapter 102: Alex and Alexa Curse

"It happened a year ago," Alex began. "We were training some of our guild members in a D-rank dungeon. It was supposed to be easy, but everything changed when we reached the boss room."

"The dungeon turned on us," Alexa added, her voice shaky. "The boss was gone, replaced by a specter—a powerful, cursed entity."

"The systems glitched," Alex continued. "The dungeon's rank suddenly spiked from D to A and The specter hit us with the *Specter Grasp* curse. We tried to fight back, but the curse drained our energy every time we used our skills. We couldn't stop it."

Alexa's eyes filled with sorrow. "All our guild members died in that dungeon. We were the only ones who made it out, but we didn't escape unscathed. The curse followed us. It's been draining us ever since."

"Our gods… they abandoned us," Alex said, his voice heavy. "After that day… nothing. It's like they turned their backs on us."
