Morning arrived far sooner than Reiji would've liked.
He slowly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Yesterday's events quietly replayed inside his mind.
Two Gates.
Two morphs.
One Monster Core.
No new skill.
He closed his eyes again.
"I guess I'm doing this shit today."
Reiji let out a quiet sigh before sitting up.
As frustrating as yesterday had been it didn't change anything.
His objective remained the same.
The sooner Hina returned...
The sooner he could earn more Bond Points.
And the more Bond Points he earned...
The faster he could continue leveling up.
Everything came back to that single goal.
"Hina..."
A faint smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"I'll bring you back as soon as I can."
He stood up and stretched before completing his Daily Quest.
By the time he finished, the morning sun had already climbed high into the sky.
After taking a quick shower and changing into fresh clothes, Reiji quietly left the apartment.
