Betrayal
How did things end up like this?
It was supposed to be a nice day.
I should have had dinner with my girlfriend and best friend.
We planned to have dinner at my home.
It would have been the first time they came to my house.
I never thought they would betray me by poisoning my food.
In this moment I'm lying on the ground crying out in pain.
"HELP!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!"
I screamed for help, but obviously no one responded.
The more I screamed, the more pain I felt.
It did not take long before I started spitting blood.
I can feel the poison slowly corroding me from the inside out; it is so painful that I may faint at any moment.
If it were not for the fact that I am so angry about why, just why, my life is so full of misfortune.
"Why?"
I was searching so intensely for an answer about it that the word slipped out of my lips.
"You want to know why?"
My girlfriend asked me with a smile on her face I had never seen her do, as if she was pleased by my pitiful state.
The same goes for the one who was my best friend.
"It is because you are a cursed man, dude."
The one who was my best friend answered.
On hearing those words, my eyes opened wide.
How do they know...? Who told them?
The first time I was called a cursed person was when I was 9 years old, by my aunts and uncles.
After the car accident in which both my parents died.
To make the suspicions even stronger, there was another incident.
One of my schoolteachers was found dead in the teachers' office two days
after yelling at me for something I had not done.
After that incident, I was expelled from school, and that was the beginning of my misfortune till this day.
"Your girlfriend and I have a relationship, which has been going on for a few months now.
You probably don't know this, but she has been pregnant for a month now. We are also planning to get married.
So for our sake and the baby's, you have to die!"
said my best friend with a knife in his hand, ready to stab me.
'Huh, what? marriage? pregnant? being in a relationship? How long had they been cheating on me?.
I am confused; I can't think correctly, but one thing I know for sure..'.
'It's all the fault of this curse. God doesn't consider my misfortune worth spending time on, and the demons are most likely laughing at me right now.
They should die, not me. Why am I always the one who suffers? If there is an afterlife, I neither want to go to heaven or hell, and all the people in this world should die for treating me so badly.'
I began cursing all of heaven, hell, and the whole planet in my mind.
Because of the constant blood in my mouth, I could not speak.
"Goodbye, I hope I never see you again. Have fun in hell, hahaha."
My girlfriend laughed as my best friend walked toward me with the knife in his hand and stabbed me over and over again.
It is too painful. I can't think because of the pain.
After he stabbed me for what seemed like an eternity, I was able to say something.
"I accept the curse I have, and with this power I curse you all."
"You will never have a happy life, and your children will never live past their 10th birthday.
You will never separate, but at the same time you will no longer love each other again; you will always be together in this life and in the next forever.
When you have some success in your life, that success will end not long after.
This is my curse dedicated to you. Enjoy it, hahahaah."
After saying this, my eyes closed. When I opened them again, I found myself in a place similar to space.
Full of stars, it was a very beautiful sight.
But that wasn't what I was concerned about at that time, though.
'Where am I?'

[You will receive a chance to reincarnate.]
'What is this? Where does this mechanical voice come from? a chance to reincarnate? Sounds good to me. Since I don't like the idea of dying, especially not like this. So what do I have to do? Maybe... Let's do it like this then.'
'I wish to be reborn in a world of magic and swords set in the medieval era with a skill that allows me to devour everything and anything to grow strong.'
[Request confirmed.].

'Oh, it really worked like that book I read some time ago.
Who knows how many wishes I can make?
Maybe five, like in that book? Anyway, let's keep going.
If possible, I wish to be loved by mana and be able to use all the elements of that world'.

'What a pity...'
Out of nowhere I started feeling my consciousness disappearing.
'I don't care... whether I will be a woman or a man...
I don't want to be loved by either gods/goddesses or demons... And since I don't want to die again at the age of 20,...I want an immortal body that doesn't age, and I won't die even if my head is cut off.'
[...Request confirmed. A body, according to the host's desires, will be generated...]
[Request confirmed.].
[Acquiring [Immortality]... Failure]

After hearing this sentence, I feel my consciousness slowly fading away, and just
Before it completely disappeared, I noticed an eye that was looking at me.
"Who are you..."
