The old world fought with the new visitors. In the end many died and a treaty was signed. The Elf was fortunate to have lived while many did not.

"h.e.l.lo, I'm Grey, the new boss." I said reintroducing myself, "Visit my cafe any time for anything you desire."

I knew him personally. The Elf in my memory was broken. Just like all of us in the war. He was a kind soul that always gave a helping hand. And a very good trap maker.

He invented my favorate Net casting spell that bind a person that wrong you. It was great when you had limited magic supply.

Looking at him it reminded me that the older one was, the more lost they experience. At some point they would make a deal and sell their soul. h.e.l.l, all the old people I know were broken and had half deals tag on them. If I was being honest, as I lived two lives and was tagged too. The only difference is that I had paid up front.

My last life wasn't kind to me. I had no family, no friends and a barely functional life. Pathetic. It's the reason I chose to redo it again.

The elf look at me funny, and turn to look at the display case that Old Jack was standing. Leaning over old Jack pull on a trey of wood carvings, Weed magic.

I raised an eyebrow to them. The Elf was looking at artifact shaman use to chase the new comers away. Slowly he touch each of them.

And his hand turn blacker and blacker, until it was ink blank. It was the curse. I had ways to get around it but no one has claim a way to destroy it.

Wait.

The side way get around method was not found yet. I blink and then smirk. This was my good day.

"Hey, if I told you that I can semi-remove the curse what would you say?" I asked,

The Elf look at me, "At what price?"

"Hey, I'm always fair." I said,

There was a long silence.

"She's fair." said Jack with a slow sign, "But very demanding. Still better than March. You should try her at least once. There is still hope if she said so."

"Be my servant. I need a new butler." I told him,

There was a long paused. The fear of death was no where to be seen in his eye.
