Soul Curse: Purgatory of the Heartless
[Curse content]:
Within every 30 natural days, the cursed individual must receive a genuine confession of love from a person of the opposite sex (regardless of race). If this is not accomplished within 30 days, the cursed individual will die instantly.
Each ti a genuine confession of love is received, the 30-day countdown will reset. However, a confession from the sa individual can only be effective once.
The cursed individual cannot accept confessions of love in any form. For each accepted confession, one energy point will be deducted from the Divine Eye of Transcendence. Furthermore, repeatedly accepting confessions from the sa individual will result in the corresponding number of energy points being deducted. If energy points beco negative, the cursed individual will die instantly.
For each accepted confession, the countdown period will decrease by one natural day (including the current countdown). If the countdown period becos zero or fewer natural days, the cursed individual will die instantly.

Upon reading the contents of the curse, Tyler held his forehead. The curse itself was already repulsive, but what was even more repugnant was that the curse had beco entwined with the "mission" and the "Divine Eye of Transcendence" in a fantastical alliance.
(The requirent for Mission Three is to have the "Singular Demon God - The Unutterable Na" confess her love for and agree to return to the Earthly realm with ...)
(The core ability of the Divine Eye of Transcendence, "foreseeing death scenes," requires energy points, and the primary source of these points is the confessions of love from the opposite sex...)
(The curse of the Purgatory of the Heartless strictly requires to continuously receive confessions of love from the opposite sex, but accepting them would result in severe penalties...)
Tyler analyzed the relationships between the three factors, ultimately concluding that he must continually entice genuine confessions of love from the opposite sex, only to reject them afterward. This cycle must continue until the ultimate mission is achieved: seducing the "Singular Demon God - The Unutterable Na."
(Silly Nissen: So, in simple terms, you must beco a heartbreaker and a playboy! Haven't-o I summarized-o it perfectly, Tyler? However, such a challenging task-o might be difficult-o for a fool like you, hahaha!)
The silly loli's intelligence always manifested at the most inopportune tis, leaving Tyler with the urge to gouge out his right eye.
(Tyler: Wow, Lady Nissen, you've summarized it quite accurately. By the way, can the "Universal Stone" be obtained in parallel worlds?)
(Silly Nissen: I don't-o think so. I've never encountered it in the parallel world-os I've visited. Huh? Have you finally realized-o your conscience and reverted to calling Lady Nissen...?)
(Tyler: Thank you, Silly Nissen.)
The silly loli had barely been happy for a second before Tyler managed to infuriate her again. Tyler was not one to hold a grudge overnight because he would always return the favor on the spot.
After being teased by Tyler, Silly Nissen fud and cursed, while Tyler paid no heed and focused on contemplating his next move.
Tyler believed that although the "mission," "inherent ability: Divine Eye of Transcendence," and "soul curse: Purgatory of the Heartless" bound to him were troubleso, they were not entirely unsolvable.
Thus, Tyler's plan remained unchanged, with the top priority being to swiftly win over a woman and guide her to confess her love to him.
However, upon closer examination, this goal appeared to be contradictory.
Pursuing soone ant actively seeking their affection, but the desired outco was for them to confess to him. This ant that Tyler had to devise a way to make the other person chase after him instead, which was exponentially more difficult than ordinary pursuit.
(Silly Nissen: Hehe, foolish Tyler, are you troubled-o by how to chase girls? Hehe, I can teach you, as long as you respectfully address as...)
(Tyler: Oh? Silly Nissen, have you ever been in love?)
Tyler struck at the silly girl's weak point.
(Silly Nissen: LLLL-love?! Of course, I've experienced-o that! Don't underestimate , I have countless experiences! That's right-o! I even know about the universal preferences of Earth's n! You all love black stockings, right-o? And, and, and… and the big breast-o or sothing, I know all about it! Love, for , is rely a trifle!)
(Tyler: Remarkable, truly remarkable.)
As Tyler anticipated, Silly Nissen was indeed a fool. Tyler didn't believe that even deities engaged in romantic relationships. Relying on Silly Nissen to teach him about love was like expecting a random stone picked up from the roadside to speak.
Having determined his next objective, Tyler surveyed the surrounding area from a nearby vantage point. He discovered that the only nearby village was the one recently "attacked."
Thanks to the scattered positioning of houses in the village, only a few buildings near the giant pillar of fire had ignited and burned down after the fire dissipated. On the other hand, the fire on the forest's edge was extinguished due to a sudden gust of wind. Interestingly, the gust of wind was generated when the "enemy" left. Tyler had previously experienced the turbulence caused by fighter jets flying overhead, but the wind generated by the enemy's departure was even more powerful.
From this, it was clear that this was a parallel world with advanced martial prowess, and developing his combat abilities would be a primary objective for Tyler.

At noon, Tyler finished eating the food he had taken from the village and headed towards it.
(Silly Nissen: Still hungry?)
Tyler ignored Silly Nissen and, upon arriving at the village, found a suitable spot on the outskirts. He then sared dirt on his face and body, lay down with a disheveled appearance, and ceased moving.
(Silly Nissen: Tyler, what-o are you doing now?)
(Tyler: Aren't you a love expert?)
(Silly Nissen: I-I am a love expert-o! I knew what you were doing, I just wanted to ask you on purpose!)
(Tyler: Oh, then tell what I'm doing.)
(Silly Nissen: You, you, you're... you're waiting for a kind-hearted-o person to help you up, and then you'll swindle them!)
Well, Silly Nissen would undoubtedly be a nace if she were on Earth.
Tyler casually chatted with Silly Nissen until about an hour later when he began to hear scattered footsteps approaching the village.
"Thank goodness, it seems the monster that caused the pillar of fire is gone!"
"Ah, my house... how did my house burn down...!"
"Joseph! Joseph, are you still alive?!"
The villagers had returned.
Although the villagers had been scared away by the calamity earlier in the day, they had nowhere else to go. Tyler was lying here precisely because he had calculated their return. However, Tyler's plan extended far beyond this.
Upon returning to the village, the villagers first assessed their property damage before working together under the village chief's guidance to repair the disaster-stricken area and rescue any injured survivors. Before long, soone discovered Tyler lying on the ground.
"Hey! There's soone still alive here!"
"...He doesn't seem to be from our village, does he?"
"Black hair and black eyes… we don't have anyone with such peculiar features in the village."
Just as he had been able to understand unfamiliar written words earlier, Tyler comprehended the foreign language spoken by the villagers. Listening to their discussion, he quietly awaited the right mont to "wake up."
(Silly Nissen: Hey, Tyler, are you asleep-o? Get up and start swindling!)
Tyler ignored Silly Nissen. In no ti, he would show her what it ant for "the most skillful hunter to often appear in the guise of prey."
