The Pharaoh's Curse refers to a supernatural belief associated with ancient Egyptian pharaohs. It is widely believed that anyone who disturbs the resting place of a pharaoh or violates their tombs will suffer from a series of misfortunes and ultimately face death. The curse is said to be a form of retribution from the pharaohs to protect their eternal resting places. The belief in the Pharaoh's Curse gained popularity in the early 20th century, particularly after a series of mysterious deaths occurred following the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter. Lord Carnarvon, the financial backer of the excavation, died shortly after the tomb was opened, leading to speculation about the curse. Other members of the excavation team also experienced unusual deaths or various misfortunes, fueling the notion of the curse.

When a mysterious tower appears, seeming to summon the demonic castle once more unto the world, Zangetsu teams up with a church exorcist named Dominique to investigate it. However, not even utilizing his larger, stronger appearance grants him success, as though the heroes are exhausted from fighting him, they managed to defeat him, prompting a large hand to impale him from behind before a giant dark energy mass tries to possess the heroes, only for Dominique to leap in front of it and absorb it into herself, becoming possessed by the demon while her allies are launched out of the castle.
Other members of the excavation team also experienced unusual deaths or various misfortunes, fueling the notion of the curse. While the deaths and misfortunes surrounding the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb can largely be explained by logical factors such as bacteria and infections, the media sensationalized the curse, stirring up public interest and adding to its mystique. This led to a widespread fascination with the supposed Pharaoh's Curse, perpetuating the belief even further.

The Pharaoh's Curse was a complete waste of time. The plot was convoluted and lacked coherence. The characters were poorly developed and had no redeeming qualities. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural, making it difficult to immerse oneself in the story. The author's attempt at building suspense fell flat, and the twists and turns were predictable. This book was an utter disappointment, and I regret ever picking it up. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of this one.
