-You've just unlocked a new "divinatory art" type power ◇Oniromancy◇-
└───── -✧✧- ─────┘
I wasn't expecting this.
Divination-type powers are very complicated to have. I never imagined that sleeping would allow me to have a skill of this magnitude.
"I've got to get this ordeal over with!"
I then moved towards him, and with some debris I'd picked up, I slapped him on the back with all my might.
"Explosion!"
The beast smashed into the ground.
The distance between us increased rapidly.
The Minotaur's body was shredded like a piece of paper.
"It really works!"
In fact, what people didn't know was that there was explosive-type debris on the ground. All they had to do was find them and activate them to inflict heavy damage.
"And now what's going to happen?"
┌───── -✧✧- ─────┐
-Congratulations on passing the tutorial.
You'll be sent to the first path after being affiliated to your companion-
└───── -✧✧- ─────┘
I see, we'll go straight to the first test.
Now that Ultimate Bounty Hunter has become real, magical powers have spread throughout Tokyo.
┌───── -✧✧- ─────┐
-You've just been teleported to the first path-
└───── -✧✧- ─────┘
"It's very quiet."
I recognized the place, teleported to Tokyo Imperial Palace.
┌───── -✧✧- ─────┐
-You enter the secret garden
└───── -✧✧- ─────┘
"I need to find my partner."
As I walked quietly, I was startled by a dagger coming straight at me.
"What is it?!"
I say surprised at first, but manage to dodge it thanks to my reflexes.
"Repeating actions many times was not so useless!"
"You!"
I heard a female voice coming from behind me.
We both looked at each other and had the same reaction.
┌───── -✧✧- ─────┐
-You've just found your companion for the 1st path-
└───── -✧✧- ─────┘
"So that's who I'm going to ally myself with?"
She was embarrassed on the spot.
Then I shouted at her.
"You're attacking me when we're together now?"
She'd moved so fast I hadn't seen her coming up behind me.
"Mhmmm..."
"Don't shout so loudly, enemies will be able to hear us."
How come she moved so fast. I know that people ranked between 1 and 50 can gain powers. But right now, we're supposed to be the dumbest people in the game.
"You're not very smart for someone of high rank."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
It was off to a bad start. In this event, players have to be very coordinated and get along well. But I have a feeling that's not the case for us...
"You must have finished the tutorial quickly if you're here, right?"
I looked at him with funny eyes
"I finished it in 7 hours."
She smiled for a moment and then was shocked. I felt like her eyes were going to pop out of their eyeballs.
"7 HOURS? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"I could ask you the same question."
"I finished the tutorial in 59s. My goal was to finish it in under a minute."
she replied, crying in an exaggerated manner.
I should have been surprised at how long it took her, but that's not what impressed me the most.
"Did you receive a skill?"
"Is that all that surprises you?"
"You finished it in precisely 59 seconds. Surely you must have received something."
"Maybe I did..."
Why is she being such a mystery girl? We're supposed to be working together.
"I agree to tell you, but first I want to know one thing."
"Go ahead."
"How far have you come?"
"If you want me to answer seriously... I've never gone beyond path 7."
Just as I thought she was going to judge me, her reaction was different.
"Then my doubts are real."
"What do you mean?
"There are one or more unexplained bugs in this game that have become real."
