caffeine and curses

The one who expels and curses evil spirits is known as a Forbidden Master... Cen Dongsheng was reborn. His soul came from the future in eight years, an era where ghosts and malevolent gods roamed, and individuals known as 'prohibition master' ruled over modern society. Now, however, the world was still on the cusp of a night filled with great upheaval and rising dark undercurrents. But he was a cautious and prudent fellow, aware of his own mediocrity. The first thing he thought of after being reborn was to find a powerful patron, and he pursued this endeavor thoroughly and successfully. Except for one issue. His powerful patrons all seemed to be out of their minds, as they... would fight among themselves. 'Stop fighting! If you've got to fight, take it outside, okay? Don't tear down the house!' 'Forget it, just come back... Destroying the house is still better than destroying the world...'

The world's messed up. Monsters started falling from the sky. Flesh-eating creatures that almost wiped out Humanity.But then, people began to awaken strange abilities—Gifts, they called them. Supernatural powers that gave us a fighting chance. With these new abilities, we fought back, and for a while, it seemed like we were winning. Life slowly started to return to something that resembled normal. That is, until the Curses began. No one knows where they came from or why they started, but one thing was clear: they weren’t Gifts. They were something darker, twisted, as if reflecting the worst parts of humanity. People whispered that the Cursed were dangerous, unstable. Some even believed they were monsters in human skin. I used to think having a Gift would be the best thing that could ever happen to me. I dreamed of it, even. Too bad I didn’t get mine until the darkest moment of my life. And it wasn’t a Gift at all. But hey, like I said before, the world’s messed up.

Is it a gift or a curse? Beth was convinced that it was the latter, and she will do most anything to get away from it, and nobody can stop her, come hell or high water.
