When Nakano Yu returned home, he discovered that Nino and the others had already fallen asleep; only Ichika was still waiting for him to come back.
After talking with Ichika for a few minutes, Nakano Yu sent the drowsy Ichika back to her bedroom, while he made himself a cup of instant noodles and sat alone in the living room.
Soon after, the instant noodles were ready. As Nakano Yu sipped the noodles, a system panel opened in his mind with a single thought.
Nakano Yu's system was very simple, with only two functions: one was daily tasks, and the other was the lottery roulette.
As for the system space and similar things, the panel didn't display them, but it certainly existed. Nakano Yu didn't know how large it was; he just used it as it was and would only worry about it if it ever filled up.
"System, draw."
Chewing his instant noodles, Nakano Yu murmured.
The system panel changed from daily tasks to a circular roulette divided into several fields of different colors.
The roulette had a pointer, and the pointer displayed the number [10], indicating that Nakano Yu could perform ten draws. The drawing rule was to consume one opportunity, and the reward was whatever the pointer stopped on.
There were seven rewards on the roulette in total, arranged from worst to best: yen – random miscellaneous item – random Holy Relic – random Divine Artifact – random Divine Power.
Currently, the only rewards Nakano Yu had drawn were yen and random miscellaneous items, which, needless to say, were basically of no great use to him.
Looking at the number on the roulette, Nakano Yu put down his instant noodles, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
He had finally managed to save up for ten consecutive draws! This rotten system could only accumulate one opportunity per day, and he had saved for a full ten days to get a ten-draw at once!
For someone like him, who believed that gold could be obtained in a single draw, this was immense torment!
"System, ten consecutive draws, let's go!"
His hands itched with anticipation, and Nakano Yu immediately communicated with the system in his mind.
[Ding! Ten consecutive draws initiated, please spin the roulette, Host!]
After the system responded, Nakano Yu rubbed his hands, grabbed the roulette, and spun it forcefully, and the lottery roulette immediately began to spin wildly.
Immediately after, system notifications sounded continuously in Nakano Yu's mind:
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the reward: 2,000,000 yen!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the reward: 8 yen!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a random miscellaneous item: obtained Miura Yumiko's milk-tea cup!]
Nakano Yu, who had been listening to the system notifications with anticipation, froze. The first two were completely normal, but what the hell was this third one?! A milk-tea cup?! Rotten system, were you playing the role of a perverted thief while offline?!
He was at a loss for words, but Nakano Yu could do nothing about it. Since the item had already been given, he could only keep it. As for returning it…
How could he return it? He wasn't close to Miura Yumiko, and moreover, if he brought her the milk-tea cup and told her he had drawn it from the lottery, considering Miura Yumiko's personality, she would probably think he was a pervert and call the police.
Shaking his head, Nakano Yu decided not to bother about what to do with that item and calmly waited for the system to finish the draws.
The next five reward notifications were three sums of yen of different amounts and two miscellaneous items; there was nothing particularly worth mentioning.
Just as Nakano Yu thought that his ten consecutive draws today would end in failure, the next notification made his face light up with joy:
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a random Divine Power: obtained Power [Wolf of the Gods' Twilight]! — Originated from the heretical god Fenrir.]
"Damn! Power?!"
Seeing the system message, Nakano Yu exclaimed. He hadn't expected to actually draw a Power! Although it was a random Power, Nakano Yu dared to say that no Power was weak!
Some Powers might not be suitable for combat, but they definitely possessed their own unique abilities!
Moreover, the Power he had just drawn was [Wolf of the Gods' Twilight]!
Legend says that Loki, the god of trickery, had three children: the World Serpent — Jörmungandr, the Goddess of Death — Hel, and the Giant Wolf — Fenrir.
Their mother was the ice giant Angrboda. The gods of Asgard and the ice giants had been enemies since ancient times, and the fiery god Loki bore three monsters with the ice giant. By order of the chief god Odin, Loki's three children were exiled.
This was also the fuse for the Twilight of the Norse gods.
What Nakano Yu had just drawn was precisely the Power of the monster of the Twilight of the Gods — the heretical god Fenrir!
Fenrir, as a monster born of a god and a giant, possessed the power to swallow the sun and the moon! Moreover, at the end of time, he swallowed the sun into his stomach, and it was precisely for this reason that Fenrir's Power had a miraculous effect when facing disobedient gods from the solar system!
Its manifestation was the ability to transform into or summon a giant wolf head about sixty meters high to devour opponents, or summon it from the sky to fall, with impact damage equivalent to a meteor!
It could be said that this was a capability of mass destruction for Nakano Yu, alongside the Wild Boar and the White Horse!
Obtaining such a Power was already more than satisfying for Nakano Yu. Originally, he thought that obtaining a Holy Relic would be good enough, but he did not expect the system to be so powerful today and directly give him a Divine Power!
In the subsequent draws, Nakano Yu got nothing good; all were yen in uneven amounts, nothing worth mentioning.
After finishing his instant noodles, the young man suppressed the urge to summon the giant wolf, first took a shower, and then returned to his bedroom to sleep.
He lay in bed, excited, for a full two hours before finally falling into a deep sleep.
…
"Ah~ really, yesterday I was too excited and didn't sleep well. Although not sleeping doesn't have much effect, it still feels strange."
The next day, in the classroom, Nakano Yu yawned. Obtaining a new Divine Power yesterday could be said to have given Nakano Yu the taste of a European emperor's pleasure, but it had also caused him insomnia.
Although no matter how late he stayed up, Nakano Yu would not have dark circles, since he had maintained the habit of going to bed early for years, suddenly staying up late made him feel somewhat unaccustomed.
"I wonder when I'll be able to use [Wolf of the Gods' Twilight]. I really want to know who has stronger destructive power between it and [White Horse]."
Nakano Yu murmured.
[Wolf of the Gods' Twilight] is effective against sun gods, but [White Horse] is the power of the sun itself. Comparing the performance of these two Powers according to his impression, Nakano Yu felt that, purely in terms of destruction, the ability of [White Horse] was probably stronger than [Wolf of the Gods' Twilight].
[White Horse] possesses the extreme temperature of the sun's fire! Simply touching the ground can instantly melt it.
In the plot, one of the rare moments when [White Horse] appeared was when it melted an entire port in Sicily. Such power could be described as terrifying.
However, thinking about those things now was useless. The enemies he was currently encountering did not give him a chance to use [White Horse] or [Wolf]; they were all small fish, pathetically weak.
If he ever obtained a Holy Relic, he would definitely try to summon the heretical god!
After all, hunting gods was the main job of a God Slayer.
Just as Nakano Yu was thinking about this, a figure approached him:
"Nakano-kun, may I keep you for a moment?"
Hearing the voice, Nakano Yu returned to himself and looked up, only to see a girl who somewhat surprised him.
The girl was none other than Miura Yumiko, the apparent leader of the popular group.
