The basic Game coin reward goes without saying, and the additional MVP rewards are as follows.

"…"

Amamiya Natsuki quickly finished browsing and sighed softly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Hearing the sigh, Kitagawa Marin looked up, her cheeks puffed out, and an octopus leg still peeking out from the corner of her mouth.

Amamiya Natsuki briefly explained the five options: "As expected, I want all of them."

"Natsuki-kun, don't be too greedy," Kitagawa Marin said indistinctly. "At times like this, just choose the first reward that makes your heart flutter."

"Don't talk with your mouth full."

"Oh."

"…"

After a moment of contemplation, Amamiya Natsuki quickly made his choice.

"Of course, I'll choose Black Magic."

So far, many players don't even have a single skill, which shows how rare skills are. Powerful skills are like SSRs in a Game, hard to come by.

Amamiya Natsuki currently only has three skills.

One is 'Get Stronger by Lying Flat'.

One is the 'Evil Spirit Banishing' aura.

And the Seize and Eliminate Evil combo skill that can only be used with Fujiwara Chika. He doesn't have any actual combat skills.

As for Black Magic, it sounds very ominous…

What if it's ominous?

If given the chance, Amamiya Natsuki said he could even be a Dark Lord.

Amamiya Natsuki actually thought similarly to Kaguya. Why choose the good and lawful alignment when being a wicked capitalist isn't bad at all?!

After making his choice, new content quickly appeared before Amamiya Natsuki's eyes.

[You have obtained the skill: Dark Touch]

[Type: Black Magic]

[Description: You can draw life and basic attributes from living beings to temporarily strengthen yourself]

[Note: Sacrificing teammates, boundless magic power!]

Amamiya Natsuki's eye twitched slightly.

Very good.

As expected of Black Magic, it starts with sacrificing teammates for boundless magic power.

The problem is, why must it be limited to living people?

Should evil spirits and monsters be discriminated against?

Also, the drawn attributes can only temporarily strengthen oneself. Why can't it be a permanent enhancement?

Amamiya Natsuki exhaled softly, quickly calming down.

What's done is done, there's no point in saying more.

Skills are neither evil nor righteous… well, some are actually evil, but it mainly depends on the user.

It's just drawing power; it doesn't say the person being drawn from will die.

The specific details will only be known after verification.

"I'm finished eating."

Kitagawa Marin put down her bento box, looked at the ancient silver coin on the table, and picked it up curiously. "This coin seems like anyone can use it. I'll try to see what effect it has, shall I?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded lightly, continuing to eat his bento. Suddenly, his chopsticks paused, and his gaze fell upon the tears of merfolk.

The description of this thing said it was a rather good strengthening item, not only usable for strengthening objects but also for strengthening skills... What if it's used to strengthen Black Magic?

"Hmph..."

Kitagawa Marin gently blew on the silver coin, then flicked it with her finger, sending it into the air.

Clap.

The Gyaru clapped her hands together, catching the coin.

"Let me see..." Kitagawa Marin opened her hand, looking at the silver coin. "It's tails. It tells me I've acquired the 'Bad Luck' debuff, lasting for half an hour."

Kitagawa Marin looked left and right, then got up and moved her body around. "I don't feel anything at all."

Amamiya Natsuki reached out and said:

"Let me try."

"Here, take it."

Amamiya Natsuki took the silver coin, intending to get heads, which would temporarily increase his luck attribute. Then he would use the tears of merfolk to strengthen the Black Magic he had just learned... In short, he wanted to maximize the success rate of the strengthening.

Then...

[Charging. Please toss Fate again in one hour.]

It seems it can't be used consecutively.

Amamiya Natsuki played with the silver coin for a bit, then put it away. Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and he couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Marin beside him.

"What's wrong?"

Kitagawa Marin tilted her head and looked over.

"Nothing." Amamiya Natsuki withdrew his gaze. "It's already ten o'clock at night. You should probably go take a shower now."

Although he had witnessed supernatural phenomena, Amamiya Natsuki still firmly believed that the law of conservation of mass-energy was one of the cornerstones of the universe.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Luck, presumably, is the same.

So, could the truth about this silver coin be that it absorbs luck from others, stores it, and then releases it all at once?

"I really need a shower. I've sweated a lot." Kitagawa Marin stretched her arms. "If I don't shower, I'll start to smell, Natsuki-kun. I'll go shower first."

The Gyaru tidied up her bento box, then trotted into the bathroom.

Amamiya Natsuki poured a cup of tea, drank it in the living room while watching TV, and suddenly his finger trembled.

Needless to say, it must be the pink-haired idiot.

Amamiya Natsuki picked up his phone and immediately saw a message from Fujiwara Chika.

"Natsuki-kun, do you want a surprise?"

"No, thank you. I don't."

"It's a surprise delivered to your doorstep."

"I refuse."

After a short conversation, Fujiwara Chika asked curiously, "By the way, two people just joined the Player Mutual Aid Group. Natsuki-kun, do you know about it?"

"Yes, I do."

Amamiya Natsuki took a sip of tea and briefly explained the Game he had just played.

Fujiwara Chika: "Eh, eh, eh, I wish I had been with Natsuki-kun. Our combined skills are invincible."

Invincible is an exaggeration, but if the pink-haired idiot were around, the hide-and-seek Game would indeed be effortless.

Thud.

The sound of something heavy falling suddenly came from the bathroom, followed by a girl's whimpering cry.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Amamiya Natsuki put down his phone, got up, and walked to the bathroom door: "Kitagawa?"

"I just stepped on the soap and accidentally fell."

"Then you're fine."

Amamiya Natsuki turned to leave.

Then...

Another muffled thud echoed from the bathroom.

Amamiya Natsuki stopped, speechless: "...You fell again?"

"Who knew the soap would be right by my feet!" Kitagawa Marin let out a wronged whimper like a puppy. "My foot hurts so much, I can't get up."

"..."

To fall twice in a row, you really are a genius!

Wait.

Amamiya Natsuki realized.

"Did the 'Bad Luck' debuff take effect?"
