THE MY GREAT PAINTER SYSTEM
The Cursed Painting 'Cursed Chain'

‘Golden Parallel’ increased visitors, making Sean avoid. In the corner of the room, the young man went to his solitude by paying attention to everyone he expected.

It was impossible to find 1 person in the crowd whose face Sean had never seen. Sean realizes his efforts are in vain, but his views turn to Kenzo Karrin who accompanies him.

“Do you know a man named Levin Milline?” The idea to ask Kenzo came at a time when he had given up looking for him himself.

Kenzo Karrin looked surprised to hear the name, but his fingertips pointed at an aloof old man on the other side of the room.

“Do you see the man there?” kenzo Karrin's fingertips switch on the silver-clad man. “The only man who has the name Levin Milline is himself. I'll just suggest something to you, but you ..”.

For a moment, Kenzo Karrin seemed reluctant to continue his explanation. However, Sean looked at him with a pleading gaze.

“OK, alright!” Kenzo Karrin surrendered and raised both hands. “I just want to advise you not to have any business with him. He is one of the collectors who likes to carry ancient paintings, but his greedy attitude does not make others like him.”

“Is he that bad?” sean asked who did not fully believe Kenzo Karrin's testimony.

The man beside Sean whispered with a serious expression. “Yes, even worse than you imagined. The old man had a bad personality.

Sean had a tense expression. To be honest, he wanted to undo his intention to meet Levin Milline, but he was the only person who had ‘Cursed Chain’.

“Will I try it myself.” It was Sean's answer to prove Kenzo Karrin's testimony.

Sean picked up a cold drink from the tray of a passing waiter. Without any intention covered up, he stood beside Levin Milline and gave one glass to her.

“Forku?” levin Milline's suspicious response to Sean.

"true."

“No I accept!” The old man smiled wryly and turned away from Sean. He let the young man raise one glass for him. Can't stand it, Sean pulled again for what he gave.

“I want one painting that you have,“ Sean explained without rambling.

“There is not one painting of mine that I will give to someone else.” Without staring at his interlocutor, Levin Milline resolutely refused. 

As Kenzo Karrin has said, this old man does have a bad personality. Sean could not bear it, but he again tested his patience.

“In fact, you don't want to hear what painting I want?” the young man protested while downing a drink he failed to give to Levin Milline.

“You deaf? You won't get anything from me!” Men like this are the ones that art investors, artists, or fellow collectors avoid the most, as well as Sean.

Levin Milline's answer is always ketus without listening to other people's words. From here, Sean's patience had already vanished.

“I want ‘Cursed Chain’ from you.” firmly Sean who shows the hard side of his head.

Hearing those words, Levin Millene's expression stiffened. His face turned like a robot and his eyes widened like a hundred silver coin.

“Cursed Chain?” said back.

"Right, I want the painting." 

Levin Milline grabbed both of Sean's shoulders and shook them. "What are you talking about 'Cursed Chain? It's a fucking painting! Everyone who has it is cursed and falls into misfortune. They all ended up poor and died in vain!"

There was not a single point from Levin Milline's remark that Sean knew of. The system only gave him the mission to obtain the 'Cursed Chain' without knowing the origin of the painting.

"Do you believe in the myth of the curse?" Sean tries not to believe Levin's story.

Levin Milline was watching the situation. As he was sure that no one was paying attention to him, the man whispered softly. "Cursed Chain has killed my family, that damned painting is driving me crazy too!"

Of the two statements, Sean had more confidence in his final statement. In any case, Levin Milline seems crazy.

"How much do you want for the painting?" Sean's pretty sick of hearing that damned painting. He wants Levin Millian to set a nominal price and Sean can finish his mission.

Although a little scary, Sean likes freebies. They agreed to go to Levin's house and take it for themselves.

Sean leaves Kenzo Karrin in 'Golden Parallel' and only gives a message that he has gone home alone without leaving any other explanation.

***

Inside Levin Milline's house, the man opened a wooden crate and immediately showed it to Sean.

"Take it! I don't want to touch that damned thing again!"

Belief in the curse of the painting made Levin bury it in a wooden box, put it in the deepest part of the warehouse and reluctant to touch it no matter what.

By force, Sean took the painting. Unlike the name, the 50x80 centimeter painting depicts the beauty of a long-haired woman. The woman in the painting lived in the era of revolution, seen from the fashion of her dress that trends in the 18th century.

"With this buying and selling can not be canceled. I've bought it at no cost and now I'll take it."

When Sean left, Levin Milline held him. "Be careful, the painting is absolutely cursed!"

Sean refused to respond to the warning. He immediately called a taxi and brought a 'Cursed Chain' to put on the table.

[Congratulations! You have completed the mission!]

[Gift: You get 1 billion]

[1 billion of you will be immediately sent into the account]

Sean's fear of the curse vanished after seeing the nominal money earned from the mission. Money can do anything, including making cursed paintings into paintings full of blessings.

'Room! Broom!'

Black sedan parked in front of the gallery. With lightning fast, Kenzo Karrin who was in the driver's seat jumped out. He entered the gallery hurriedly and after seeing Sean inside, Kenzo Karrin's tense expression vanished right then and there.

"You okay?" It was quite difficult for Kenzo Karrin to speak with gasping breath. He was able to say well after breathing out. "You disappeared and didn't answer my phone. What exactly happened?"

"I've left a message for you" Sean replied casually and looked back at his phone. There were 90x missed calls from Kenzo Karrin.

"There is no explanation whatsoever in your message" said Kenzo.

"You don't have to worry because I'm just hunting for a painting from one of the collectors I met." Sean again gives Kenzo Karrin an explanation.

When he heard the word painting spoken in Sean's mouth, Kenzo Karrin's view turned to 'Cursed Chain'. Not content enough to see with that distance, Kenzo brought the painting closer and with narrowed eyes he stared fixedly at it.

"This painting …." Kenzo Karrin's words came to a halt and his expression seemed to be in deep thought. "This ... huwaah! This painting is a 'Cursed Chain'. Aye! This is that damned painting!"

Upon realizing something, Kenzo Karrin threw the painting in place and almost made it fall. 

"Return! Give this thing back to Levin Milline. This painting is a fucking bearer!" Kenzo Karrin spoke in a high voice.

It seems like this painting is quite famous so Kenzo can find out the owner of this painting beforehand. Sean paid no heed to it, he picked up the painting lying around and hung it in the storage area.

"Didn't you know the real story?" Kenzo Karrin catches up with Sean and tries hard to explain the painting's history. "This painting was bought cheaply by Levin Milline's father. Granted, the painting was of high value but the person who owned it sold it at an absurd price. The seller said that he got bad luck from the painting. The painting is cursed! Levin's father died and the painting was in Levin Milline's hands, but after having the painting his wife and son fell ill to death. All because of the curse of the painting!"

"I don't believe in things like that" Sean commented unconcernedly.

The two men continue the debate with different thoughts and in the end Kenzo Karrin is the one who has to succumb to Sean's stubbornness.
