After Yato disappeared, Sakura sat on her bed with a helpless expression. She got a little angry when Yato disappeared without teaching her anything.
*Sigh!*
"It shouldn't be that complicated." Sakura opened the system and three options were displayed.
[◇Store]
[◇Daily Missions]
[◇Inventory]
"Well… let's check the Inventory first." She opened her inventory and saw infinite item slots; however, almost all were empty. Only one slot was occupied, by a… gift?
"A gift?" Sakura thought of Yato. "Well let's open it."
[Gift from Yato]
「You made a good choice to accept the system. How about a gift? I bet you will like it; however, your luck will be at stake here. Try not to die. Good luck.」
"Try not to die? What the hell is this gift?" Sakura thought she would get a good reward easily; however, Yato's words left her hesitant.
'He wouldn't put something bad in the present... right?'
After hesitating for a few minutes, she decided to open the gift. She thought it would make no sense for Yato to use these means to hurt her, because he could kill her at any time. After opening the gift, a roulette wheel appeared. The wheel spun for a few seconds before stopping.
[Congratulations, you won an awakening potion]
"A potion?!" Sakura was a little disappointed. She hoped to get some cool items.
'Well, I better not judge until I know.' Sakura opened the item description.
◇Wake up potion
A miracle potion that can reveal someone's hidden talent.
"Hidden talent?...maybe...I have a talent for magic?!" Sakura was very excited. She couldn't wait to do magic. She didn't wait another minute and opened the potion without hesitation. The smell of the potion filled the room. The scent was so good it could embarrass the best perfume in the world.
"Fufufu, look young mortals… I, the witch of nightmares, will be reborn today." Sakura drank the potion without hesitation. The potion seemed to have no taste, it was similar to drinking water.
1 minute later...
"So… nothing happened?!" Sakura was extremely upset. She thought she might have some talent for magic; Nonetheless…
"Ah!" Sakura gave a weak moan of pain. Her body started to go through strange changes.
"What is this?!..." She felt her body get hot, cold, uncomfortable, comfortable, etc. The constant changes left Sakura confused.
"Ahhhh!!!" Her body suddenly started to ache. Her cells seemed to be constantly being destroyed and rebuilt. Sakura fell to the ground with a shallow breath. She began to thrash around on the floor, looking for something that could help her.
"Onee-Chan…" She called to her sister, in an attempt to seek some comfort; however, her sister was not at home now. Her murmurs reached no one…or almost anyone.
[Awakening completed]
"Ah! Ah! Is it over?!" Sakura got up from the floor and sat on her bed. Her body was so weak she could barely move. She closed her eyes and rested for a few minutes.
"Damn Yato! Couldn't you have warned me about this?!" If she knew she would go through so much pain, she would think a little more before drinking the potion.
'Well… he warned about it…' Sakura thought about Yato's message. When she felt her body get a little better, she opened the system again.
[Unique Skill Unlocked: Unreality]
The user is able to manipulate Unreality.
Note 1: Due to the user's abilities being very low, this power is severely restricted.
Note 2: High level of imagination required.
"Unreality?!" Sakura looked at the system message, a puzzled expression on her face. Unreality involved everything that was not real, exemples: dreams, illusions, lies, etc. Sakura hoped to gain a simpler power, like shooting fireballs; however, the power she received was very complex.
"Well, it's better than I thought." Even though she found this skill complex, she was very excited about it. Reading the system notes, she thought she should train more.
"Maybe the store can help me with this." She opened the store, looking for something that could help her strengthen herself.
[Search items]
[Recommended items]
Sakura clicked on the second option.
[The amount of user points is very low, looking for suitable items…]
-
[Mental training card]
A card that can increase brain processing speed.
Requirements: mental training
Price: 100 points
Note: valid up to 7 days
-
[Mental Enhancement Card]
A card that can permanently improve the user's mental ability
Requirements: none
Price: 500 points
Note: Your Chūnibyō delusions can be thought of more efficiently.
Sakura pursed her lips when she saw the system note. She had a feeling Yato was behind these things.
"What do I do? I only have 500 points." She didn't know which would be the best option. The mental enhancement card could bring quick wins, but it was more expensive. The mental training card could bring steady but slow gains, as well as being cheaper. While Sakura was thinking about the matter, another system message arrived.
[The daily quest will start]
Requirements: Survive
Sakura didn't have time to think about the system message because she was teleported.
-
"W-Where am I?! What is this place?!" Sakura looked around. Where she was was a seemingly endless arid desert. Sakura's situation was similar to Keiichi's.
"System?!" Sakura yelled.
[59:57...59:56...59:55...]
"Huh?! What is this-"
*steps!* *steps!*
Sakura became alert when she heard footsteps in the distance, or rather, the sound seemed to be several creatures moving at the same time. Looking into the distance, Sakura saw several creatures moving towards her; however, she couldn't make out the shape of the creatures. Focusing her vision, she was completely shocked by what she saw.
"Shit! System!!!" She started running in the opposite direction the creatures were coming from.
Tens of meters away, several giant creatures were running towards the sakura. Unlike Keiichi who was just running away from ants, Sakura was running away from ants, spiders, snakes, etc. It seems her situation was worse than his.
-
In the throne room, Yato and Yerin watched Keiichi and Sakura.
"That's amazing, master." Yerin commented as he watched Sakura. She was a little impressed when she discovered Sakura's innate talent. Sakura's innate talent was very good.
"She has potential." Yerin said.
"In fact, she has potential, but you can't belittle the boy." Yato replied.
"I don't see anything special about him." Yerin said. Maybe she was just being irrational, though—the only man she admired and would forever follow was ahead of her now.
"I know what you're thinking." Yato said with a smile. "Don't be so strict with him, you know, that boy has some impressive strokes of luck." Keiichi's innate talent was less than Sakura's; however, his luck was very good in certain situations. They also had the system, so those concerns were irrelevant.
"You're right, master. Maybe he can surprise, just like that person." Yerin thought of the man who had achieved enormous power without any talent. This man was a good friend of Yato's.
*yawn!*
"Let's just watch them for now. In the meantime…" Yato hugged Yerin's waist and brought her onto his lap.
"Let me pamper you a little." He said with a smile.
"Master…"
