Reincarnated as a Phoenix

Chapter 14 - Cursed

[<-User- must wake up>]

'Urgh... damn it, Aesa. I was having such the nicest dream; I was a demon lord and the entire world was mine to command. I even made the pope my footstall just for the sake of it'

[<-User- must check status>]

'Fine fine then, status'

[Name: Ikarus | Species: Phoenix | Level: 21]

[Health 3,499/3,500]

[Stamina 3,500/3,500]

[Magicka 3,500/3,500]

'What's the big deal? The only thing that looks weird is that my health is minus one, I probably stubbed my claw while sleeping or something'

I guess this is a good time to give a quick status update. Yesterday after dealing with the bandits and having to deal with a mother who was extremely pissed off at me, I finally got around to putting the four thousand points in.

If it isn't obvious, I didn't know what to focus on so I thought, screw it and just make everything the same. Everything has its own merits so I really couldn't think what to avoid investing in. The only thing that I maybe considered not investing in is stamina but even then, more energy means I can do more which in turns leads to me fighting longer. Heck, I can miss days of sleep as well with high stamina. Unfortunately, I can't leave anything behind right now.

Thinking back to the fight, killing them bandits for the EXP didn't make me feel sick or anything, I don't know if that's a good thing or bad. Ah, forget it, who cares?

Anyways... back to system.

[<-User- has received hereditary curse -dragon descendant->]

'That sounds pretty badass to be honest, what's it do?'

[<-User loses 1hp every day until death. Health effected by curse -dragon descendant- won't recover while curse is under effect>]

...

"WHY THE HELL HAVE I RECEIVED THAT!?!"

<Urgh... come on Ikarus, it's really early. You've woken up Minos as well>

"*Yawnnnn*... Cu?"

"Now you know how it feels being woken up all the tim- Wait, where's father?"

At the moment, it's just me, mother and brother in the cave with mother and brother just waking up. Father must have left in the night; I really hope it isn't what I think it is again.

<He's fetching me a gift; he should be back very soon. What are you shouting at anyway?>

"I'll tell you in a second, I need to speak with Aesa for a second"

<Aesa?>

"Yeah, that's what I named the voice. There is a deadly serious issue happening right now, can't speak any longer"

'Aesa, can you give be some more information, why have I received a curse like that?'

[<Does -user- need word hereditary explained?>]

'No no, I know what it means. It's basically a curse from my parents or ancestors then? Why have I received it just now though? I doubt they would purposely harm me'

[<G.A.P doesn't know>]

'Okay... if I lose one health point a day... three thousand, five hundred... I would have roughly nine and a half years of life left? There has to be a cure, right?'

[<Affirmative and unsure>]

'What about recovery? Does my health not recover from attacks while the curse is under effect?'
