The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 55

Lately, the atmosphere on the streets has felt a bit chaotic.

Even in broad daylight, the sky was dark and overcast, as if it was about to rain.

Compared to other days, the number of people walking the streets had noticeably decreased.

Even in the narrower alleys, the streets seemed desolate, with hardly anyone in sight.

Even in the usually bustling market, the number of operating shops and visitors was minimal, and there was hardly any chatter to be heard.

Usually, the streets would be a cacophony of overlapping voices, but now, even though the street remained the same, the scene was so different it felt almost alien.

However, the reason for this change wasn't hard to understand - the ominous message delivered by the gods.

Anyone with faith would have received the divine message. It might not be every single person, but in this world where most people have a religion, almost everyone would have heard it.

The ominous sign of impending doom.

They would have heard that something so catastrophic is coming that even the gods might fall.

The concept that gods are eternal beings is a universally known fact among intelligent beings in this world.

Under normal circumstances, they can't be killed or injured, and even if they were, they could only experience a physical death; their souls could always be reincarnated into a new body.

But now, there's talk of an event so cataclysmic that even such beings could face true death. Considering their stature, for mere mortals like us, this could mean the extinction of our entire race or the disappearance of massive nations - it was a dire warning.

"Young man, judging by your gear, are you an adventurer?"

A sharp-eyed old man, handing me the item I purchased, suddenly asked.

"Yes, with the gods giving such a dire prophecy, there's much to prepare for."

I put the high-grade mana potion into my bag and honestly answered the old man's curiosity.

"Adventurers have been flocking to our shop since yesterday. They're buying potions to protect themselves, so much so that we're running out of stock."

Indeed, while the number of customers in the shop was low, the volume of items being purchased was significant.

Now, looking outside, even though there were fewer people, a high percentage of them carried weapons.

For the foreseeable future, it seems best to stay armed. Those who can't fight probably stay home, while adventurers like me, whose primary job is combat, are busily preparing.

"Take care then."

After bidding the old vendor goodbye, I left the shop.

Jingle~ Jingle~

As I opened the door, the sound of a bell chimed, but...

"Huh?"

My vision began to dim and narrow.

In this situation, I couldn't even be sure if I was looking straight ahead.

What on earth is happening? Before I could even understand, I was hit with intense pain.

"Ugh?!?!"

Another side effect of the curse, and compared to yesterday, it had worsened significantly.

I could faintly hear a whispering voice in my ears.

-!...!!

It must have been like this the second time the curse affected me on the day it first struck. Now, my vision was consumed by darkness.
