After breezing through the first week since I first arrived in this world, it was only a matter of time before I met some resistance. Philosophical rambling about shortcuts and all that warned me about this...
Becoming an S-Rank, getting an SSS-Rank item, and a demon prince as a patron… it didn't even take a day for me to get all of that, now that I think about it. Kind of unfair to be punished for it though—I still earned it fair and square.
I slowed to a torturous walk, dozens of wolves tearing into my back, their fangs dragging me down to a snail's pace.
I couldn't fight back anymore, and I couldn't sprint either.
But since this was my mind, the damage I was taking didn't really matter.
As long as I remained calm…
I'd reach my destination.
[Breakthrough!]
[Adept: Level 2]
[Cursed Coating]
The wolves behind me exploded into balls of fire. I didn't question the breakthrough over something so simple; if it let me speed up, I'd take it.
And…
[Dark Sun]
