There are multiple cursed techniques that can be combined to create G-rank gifts.
My mouth moves on its own.
It’s been a week since I arrived in this world. I’ve been using my powers a lot.
I thought I could do it, so I did.
“Technique Creation: Shock Technique.”
The memory of magic I gained from interacting with that brat in the village—magic that creates shock.
“Technique Creation: Control Technique.”
And here, the memory of the magic used by that white-haired beauty—magic that controls others.
Two dark arts, transformed into curses.
Molded as the deeds of man.
—That will suffice.
“Hey, what is… that?”
“Ah, my king, I have received your message… along with your power…!”
“Hmph, my power is stronger, though.”
“…Maybe my power is hard to use?”
This is my gift.
Turning magic into curses.
Creating techniques, manifesting them.
Accumulating dark energy, transforming it into a curse, and mastering it.
“Shock Technique + Control Technique—”
Two swirling black lights.
They meld together in my hands.
“Technique Creation—’Heian Senkai Jugonrei’!”
《Analyzing effect. The effect is—》
“Knight, take four people and return. Forget what you’ve seen here.”
“‘Yes, I understand.’”
《Forcing commands through speech to the target》
“Eh, eh, C-Coach…? W-Wow, that was fast!!”
Whoa, that was quick.
In the blink of an eye, all my classmates were carried off and vanished.
He’s really skilled…
Now then…
“My king… magnificent as always…”
These three remain.
Hmm, judging by their reactions earlier, they’re terrifying, after all.
They’re always so quick to kill.
Alright, time to—
—If I use cursed speech, I can completely control these great curses—
I’ll go home!!
Yep!
These guys don’t seem like they’d listen to reason anyway!
“See ya, live as you wish.”
“““What?”””
“Technique, deploy.”
Come forth! My Zodiac Rats!
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!!
“Wait, Curse, my king! We haven’t repaid you yet!! I—”
“Soon… our fates will cross again. Wait for the time to come. Knight, until the day of destruction, we shall meet again.”
“Is that… so. I see… that’s what it is.”
That’s what it is—it’s farewell.
When real, dangerous people like you are around, my villain act gets overshadowed.
“…My king, you’ve given us a purpose, my fearsome and mighty king.”
“My lord, I shall use all of my abilities to follow your path.”
“Master… hehe. When it all ends, I know you’ll bring me the end. I won’t let you down.”
“Do as you please.”
With my undetectable old man mask and this swarm of rats as a smokescreen!
No one will know where I’ve gone—perfect ending. Good!
“King… my magic… the smell of war?”
“My lord, magical traces… tracking… hunger?”
“Master… the mark of blood, my love… let me try…”
They’re muttering something, but… whatever! All good!
Goodbye!
Going home! Goodnight!
I leave the cave, pushed out by the flood of rats.
Tonight’s adventure, all things considered:
“I feel like a proper villain! Good!”

◇◇◇◇
Steam, mountain view.
A hidden paradise overlooking a sea of clouds.
Two figures stand amidst the overflowing hot springs.
‘The master has awakened.’
‘Master is strong. Good. Many meats again today, I’m happy.’
‘Boar, the Rat is no different. You’re not a special favorite of our master.’
‘Hahaha! Nonsense, master uses me more! More than you, Rat!’
‘If you say so, the first to be summoned by the master in this life was me, the Rat.’
‘Ugh, that’s harsh… but fine. Master is master to all of us.’
‘Yes, that is true. I look forward to the day all twelve generals gather again.’
‘The time is near. As always, master will gather curses, devour curses, and bind curses.’
‘Hehe, exactly. Truly exciting.’
The sound of flowing hot water sweeps everything away.
The steam thickens, and only the laughter of a fairy-like voice lingers—
◇◇◇◇
Pitter-patter. Squeak, squeak.
The birds’ chirping wakes me.
It feels like I was dreaming.
I’ve completely forgotten what it was about, though.
“Ouch.”
My whole body aches. Must be muscle pain.
Probably from yesterday’s bandit hunting and the battle with those three hidden bosses.
“…I need to train more.”
There are monsters like that in this world.
I have to further grow this gift and my cursed power.
I’m not just pretending to be a villain anymore. I’ll become a real one.
I never want to end up as a side character again.
I want to become someone special—
Huh?
What’s this?
Warm, soft…
“…Ah, you’re awake, my king?”
“…Oh, my lord, did you catch a cold?”
“…Hehe, master… your veins, barely visible… hehe.”
Wait, what?
I’m being surrounded.
To my left, to my right, and from above, there’s a sweet scent and melting voices.
The morning light leaves no room to escape this reality.
“Good morning.”
“It’s a nice morning.”
“Hehe… this house… cramped, dark… so comfortable.”
White hair, blue eyes, flawless beauty.
Red ponytail, pointed ears, a gem-like figure.
Black hair, sharp fangs peeking from her lips, a fairy-like presence.
These three stunningly beautiful girls—
“My king.”
“My lord.”
“Master.”
“Curse.”
They’re all sleeping naked next to me—or, in the case of the black-haired one, on top of me.
I get it.
I understand exactly what kind of situation this is.
Flushed cheeks, reddened ears, heated breaths from the girls.
This is—
An enemy attack!!!!!!
