Chapter 7: Goddess of Misfortune

---------- James’s POV ----------

*Crash*

[Zoe]  “Ehh?!  What’s wrong James?  You should seriously stop dropping my tea cups!”

[Me]  “This time I have a valid reason!”

[Zoe]  “What could possibly be a valid reason for dropping a tea cup!”

[Me]  “This letter!”

[Lucas]  “Would you guys tone it down a little?!”

[Zoe & I]  “Sorry.”

[Lucas]  “So what has you stressed out?”

[Zoe]  “Yeah, you should be happy.  You just got a letter from your family, in fact the first one since five years ago.”

[Me]  “Yeah… I found out the reason they decided to stop contacting me…”

[Zoe]  “Ehh?!  And that is…”

[Me]  “Umm… it turns out that…”

[Zoe]  “That…”

[Me]  “Erm… my family…”

[Zoe]  “JUST SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!!!”

[Me]  “Okay, okay… my family may have had a daughter.”

*Splash*

Lucas about dropped his tea cup but managed to catch it in the nick of time, leaving the tea to splash against the ground.  Both Lucas and Zoe had wide eyes at my statement.  Zoe rips the letter out of my hand and reads it aloud.

[Zoe]  *Ahem*  “To my dearest son,

I apologize for the lack of contact that has happened over the last five years; however I come bearing good news.  Your sister as turned five and has expressed her desire to go to her big brother’s school!  Obviously this is far down into the unforeseeable future, however I believe it is time we told each of you of each other’s existence.  This is the reason why we did not wish to contact you.  Please come home on your next brake so that we can see you again and so that our little goddess can finally meet you.

Sincerely,

Your mother”

[Lucas]  “…Just what kind of parent keeps these kinds of secrets from their children?”

[Me]  “I-I don’t know…”

[Conner]  “Dude this is great man!”

[Me]  “Stay out of this siscon!”

[Zoe]  “When did you get here anyway?!”

[Conner]  “While you were reading the letter.”

[Lucas]  “You should probably visit them during the break that’s in a few days.”

[Me]  “Yeah, I will.”

[Conner]  “Hey man, here’s this book for future reference.”

I look upon the book and see the large title, ‘The Siscon Life’.

[Me]  “…Just what are you trying to get me into?!”

[Conner]  “Just keep it!”

[Me]  “What, no!  Hey, get back here!”

…and he’s gone.  Conner just ran out of the cafeteria.  Now that I am looking around I notice that my group is gathering a lot of attention from the surrounding students.  The attention is probably due to the amount of yelling and commotion coming from here.

[Zoe]  “James, what’s wrong?”

[Me]  “…nothing at all.”

----------Belle’s POV----------

*Sigh*

Brother is acting strangely recently.  He has been sighing more often, which I have also picked up from the atmosphere.  Brother has also expressed more interest in the Starlight Academy.  One more thing necessary to be noted is that he is CONSTANTLY carrying a cute bear.  The bear is unbefitting of him, because they carry two different atmospheres.

Recently brother has also had more issues with his luck.  It’s REALLY strange because he used to be the luckiest of all!!!  Now his luck is borderline horrible, and I think I found out the cause.

I hold out the teddy bear in front of me.  I take it to the priest currently in the palace.  I grin as I knock on the white doors.  I will fix brother’s problems.

[Priest]  “Oh, Princess Belle, what do you need?”

[Me]  “Umm, could you check this teddy bear for any curses?”

[Priest]  “Curses?!  I will do so immediately.”

I wait awhile for him to finish the spell and analyze the results.  When I look over at the priest I see his mouth opening and shutting without producing a sound.  Just what could have him so surprised?

[Me]  “What is it?”

[Priest]  “Umm… this is… let me just show you.  Show results to Belle Roiyaru.”

  Goddess Ivy’s Teddy Bear

This is a teddy bear once belonging to Goddess Ivy.  Increases training speed with the consequence of -500 luck while teddy bear is near you.  

-500 luck?!  That is ridiculous!  This ‘Goddess Ivy’ must be the goddess of misfortune!  …Wait… goddess… how did my brother get a goddess’s teddy bear?!

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

[Priest]  “Princess, I would recommend that we keep the fact that this was once a goddess’s possession.”

[Me]  “… I agree, lets remove the curse as well.”

[Priest]  “Are you sure?  It will also remove the blessing.”

[Me]  “I am.”

After the cure was removed I sneakily placed the divine bear back on brother’s bed and sneak away.  I really hope brother did not steal from a goddess.  I really hope that he got it through more kind ways…

I pray to this goddess and ask for her to forgive brother while also promising to serve her.  This shall appease the goddess, right?

----------Ivy’s POV----------

[Me]  “Thanks for the food!”

I just finished dinner of an average, ordinary day.  It’s nice to have one of these.  They are usually rare due to my bad luck cutting in.

[Mom]  “Oh, sweetie someone is possible visiting soon!”

[Me]  “Who?”

[Mom]  “Fufufu… it’s a surprise.”

Hmm?  I wonder who would be visiting our house.  Also, I am worried.  Mother never laughs like that unless she has something planed…

Oh well, I guess I won’t be able to find out until it’s time.  I am getting dressed when I suddenly fall.  The reason?  This.

  New title: Goddess of Misfortune

While looking at your luck anyone would know of your misfortunate life, however that is not reason enough to call you goddess of that element.  What did achieve this was someone pieces together your curse and goddess nature, naturally giving you this tattle.  +50% darkness element.  +45%  light element.  New skills gained.  (x3) 

  New skill:  Curse of Misfortune (mana: 2,000)

Now you can curse those who spite you to have a VERY unlucky life 

  Skill: Curse of Misfortune has been set to max 

  New Skill:  Blessing Remover (mana: 5,000 per blessing)

Now you can remove other’s blessings from other gods!  This will not work on yourself. 

  Skill: Blessing Remover has been set to max 

  New Skill:  Beings of Misfortune (mana: 1,000)

You can now summon creatures of misfortune that will follow your every desire.  Type will depend on the level of skill (though with your cheat it will be very strong). 

  Skill:  Beings of Misfortune has been set to max 

  …Wow.  How can I be so much of a cheat?!  Also, what cursed did I place?  Hmm… I’m so confused!
