Cursed to level 1 with an Ego weapon

I wake up slowly. I feel weak, something is not right with my body.

I slowly remember...

I was stabbed by Orianna.

And the system was notifying me of several debuffs in that instant.

There was no damage confirmation or numbers. It was like the knife just went through everything that made the System work.

I try to summon the system...

!!!!

[Name: Amber]

[Class: Wizard]

[HP: 100] [MP: 100]

[STR: 1]

[DEX: 1]

[PER: 1]

[CON: 1]

[MAG: 1]

[WIS: 1]

[CHR: 1]

-Check Skills- -Check Feats- -Check equipment-

What the hell?! Why is everything 1?!

[You feel a heavy mark in your soul...]

[All your levels have been reduced to 1! You have the Curse of Ignorance! You cannot gain XP!]

What? No XP? I cannot level that up?! It took me too much time investment to get to where I was! And this is not even the beginning point! No stat starts at 1!

My skills was the same news. Every skill, combat, crafting, etc... Every one of them was at level 1.

How is that possible? Dying in the game caused loss of progression in stats and skills, but not to this degree! And it was a random stat that was reduced, not everything.

I try to stand up... I cannot. My hands are tied behind my back and now I notice I have something dark on my gead, obscuring my view.

What is even happening?

Quickly... My inventory.

-Inventory-

None...

Wait... What is happening? Why are all my items gone? All my equipment?

"So, here?" I hear a voice outside.

I hear no answer.

"Okay, you are the boss..." The same voice.

Someone was with him.

"Are you sure I cannot keep her if they don't want her? She seems like a fine specimen."

Oh fuck no.

"Okay! Okay! Fine! I get it... Just seems like a waste."

I hear steps and someone approaching me. As I try to move, I notice the next horrible truth. I am naked, and I can only feel my underwear on me.

Shit, where are we!

Then someone grabs me.

"Hey! Out me down!" I ordered.

I try to cast a spell. Firebolt should be enough.

[Warning: casting a spell whose cost is over your current mana can cause HP loss and even death in more extreme cases.]

[Firebolt LV: 45 MP: 1960 Charges: 219]

[Hurl a bolt of fire towards a single target. Normal damage]

Shit! All my spells are high level! If I cast them, I die!

Dying in the game meant respawning at a chosen respawn point. But... I don't know if that works the same way as the game! I would be running a huge risk!

I feel that they grab me on the shoulder.

"Let me go!" I yell.

"Now, now, missy. This is just business." Said the man.

I try to fight, but my stats are too low. I cannot do anything.

I try to take a memory of where we are going...

We are going downstairs. I hear fighting, something killing monsters based on screeching and other noises.

[Entered Dungeon: Caves of Lost Respite LV. 30]

[Entered level 1]

We are inside a dungeon!

Why did they bring me here? Who the fuck are they?!

[Entered level 2]

[Entered level 3]

...4

...5

...6

...7

This is one of the deep ones.

7 levels. We went down seven levels.

Then I am thrown to the ground.

"Agh! Fuck you!" I scream in response.

"Why even bring her here?" Asked the man. The other persona was still with us, following us. "Not much if a talker, are ya? When am I getting paid?"

Then I hear a sword being taken out of its scabbard and it cutting flesh.

[???'s ??? Sword slashes Something! Something gets decapitated (instant death)!!!!]

I hear two heavy objects fall to the ground... And one rolls and hits my thigh.

Steps... Getting closer to me.

Something cuts through the cover of my head!

I close my eyes in order to protect myself, only to find I am unscathed. I look up and see the swordman.

He is wearing a dark purple long coat and a hat of similar color. I cannot see his face; it is obscured, and he is holding a shortsword in his hand.

My ears are flat while I see them... "Who the fuck are you?!"

He tilts his head, looking at me...

WOOSH!

A light engulfs him and disappears in the next second.

I fight against the knot holding my hands... But I notice they are cut... When did he cut it?! I did not see him do that!

This dungeon is level 30... I am not meant to be here with my stats!

And how did they manage to reduce them? In the game, dying makes you lose XP on stats, but never to such extremes. I was thrown lower than the starting point on any character class.

My inventory is empty, also.

I am naked. At least they left me in my underwear!

But I still feel extremely vulnerable.

I look around myself... I am in a room with marble... Everything! The walls, pillars, and floor are made of pink marble. Light came from a few torches that were still.

"Shit... This is not good..." I close my eyes for a second... How do I do this? There is something that I know they might not... "Bloodless!" I call.

FWSSSS

In my hand, in only a single second, appears something. I hold it tight... Bloodless, my sword, came to me. I pull it from its scabbard.

[Your magic spells became more explosive!!!]

[Your magic capacity has increased!]

[Dull Black Steel Wakazashi "Bloodless"]

[Is made of Black Steel]

[Is a short Sword]

[It is dull]

[+250 Attack]

[Ego Lv1]

[Increases magic damage]

[Increases MP 2100]

At least, I can cast a single spell. It should be powerful, even when I have a magic stat and skills in the low 1.

I am lucky I have her. It is a sword that does not work well in damage. Those 250 is nothing, too low. Maybe I can use it in lower levels, but in a dungeon level 30 is barely going to do anything.

And there are 2 truths, maybe my best weapons.

You cannot steal an Ego sword. They are bound to their user.

And even when I cannot gain levels... Bloodless can.
