1.

When I was young.

So, after I was possessed, I was on the verge of death.

There was a time when I was semi-forcibly locked in a room to heal my body.

In that room, one of the bookshelves was filled with biology books, which seemed to be the hobby of a boy named Van Helix.

I must have been bored, but right before I died, I remembered the knowledge that helped me catch the Moon Piercing Wolf, so I picked up a random biographer and read it.

One of the memorable creatures among them.

“…Money Caterpillar? What kind of name is that?”

After reading the entire explanation, it was truly amazing.

Money tree.

Herbivorous demon.

They are naturally fast, but their brains don’t work to utilize that speed.

So, even though you have legs like Usain Bolt, your intelligence is so lacking that you can’t make quick decisions, so you can’t use your speed.

But if someone tries to touch you, you can ‘somehow’ escape from that person’s hand.

That’s why they can never be caught, even by people with similar speed or superior speed.

A dog-like explanation that it doesn’t have the intelligence to run, but can run away.

“Wow. What a baseless world…!”

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my wound and threw the book down.

-Tick!

I caught that little rat I saw in the book a little while ago.

I’m sure it’s the guy called the money squirrel.

There was a story that it lived in rich houses, but I was surprised because I didn’t think I would encounter it so soon.

“…Huh?”

I felt a surge of power.

And naturally, related information comes to mind.

Let’s give strength to use some ‘force’ according to our instincts.

-…..!!!

“Son~ Are you feeling better…”

After Bing opened the door and came in, his mother’s appearance slowed down.

And then a rainbow-like vision followed, and I felt extremely dizzy.

One thing is certain.

So, I had an experience where time seemed to slow down.

A sense of focusing one’s thoughts, dividing time, and moving through space within it.

‘A bastard like the money frog has a saintly status…!?’

The reason why contradictory life forms that could not exist biologically could survive was because of the existence of the constellations.

But it was a secret of this world that would never be discovered unless you had a special ability like mine.

And it was through the status of the ‘Usurper’ that he gained this mysterious power.

“Woof…!”

“…you? Oh my! Oh my! Gyaaaah! Nanny!!! Ugh, my baby is dying!!!”

Although it was only a short period of time, I felt nauseous even after using it for a short time, perhaps because my body was in a semi-retarded state.

And it was pitot.

This is perfect.

Sandevistan…

Cheap but similar?

It was the second constellation I had newly acquired through the power of the ‘Usurper’, and it was also the constellation of my secret.

2.

Taina’s claws came to me without any hesitation.

So, it means that we are in a dangerous situation where we are on the verge of being overpowered and eliminated.

‘I wasn’t going to use this…!’

In a crisis situation, use your senses to accelerate your brain and concentrate as much as possible.

An accelerated brain that slowly perceives situations in still space.

In a world that had been at a standstill, the tips of your fingers break the silence, and your body breaks free from its restraints and enters a state of acceleration.

Bring to mind a visual image to help you visualize the constellation more clearly.

Just as the Moon Piercing Wolf’s aspect was improved with the Moon’s Herbivore, the acquired aspect was improved with the Money Shrew’s aspect with my own imagination.

‘Beginner.’

First step.

A single step that points the way to where you should go next.

I activate the status of ‘beginner’ by recalling the image of the first step towards moving forward somehow.

-Shooo…

Taina’s claws, reflecting the sunlight, gradually slow down.

And then there’s the rainbow-like afterimage, and the accelerated brain makes me feel dizzy.

You can move faster and more accurately than your opponent.

“…..sigh!!!”

Inhale and twist the activated muscles.

Instead of resisting the fall, use your lower back strength to fall faster towards the floor.

But twist your body slightly so that your shoulders touch the floor first.

-Kuuu…..!

Normally I would have been hit already, but the claw hit the ground before it could reach my body.

At the same time, a heavy sound rumbles in my ears.

‘Ughhh…!’

I gritted my teeth and endured the pain.

Use the recoil of the impact to shake off your body once more and stand up again.

I try to counterattack by simultaneously pulling out my sword that was blocked by Taina’s hand.

-Kagagagagak…!

Instead of ear-piercing high-pitched sounds, a low-pitched frictional sound resonates.

Ignoring the claw, he raised his sword as if to strike Taina under the chin.

‘Just a little more…!’

but.

-Kaang!

As the beginner’s time ended, space and time returned to their original place.

Taina reflexively defended herself against this attack, even though it happened in an instant.

-Whew! Chaeaeaeaeng!

“Ugh!”

It was a perfect opportunity to end it.

Taina swung her claws threateningly and put some distance between them.

And then I take a deep breath and assess the situation.

“…What the heck. I’ve never seen such an attack.”

“Base.”

“Pfft, what are you hiding?”

Taina must have started calculating my numbers with a smile on her face.

To be honest, the movement just now was inexplicable to anyone who saw it.

It is natural to feel a sense of crisis and come up with countermeasures.

“You won’t be able to figure it out right now!!!”

-Booow!

But we can’t give them any room to engage in information warfare.

“Ugh!”

-Cheong! Kaang! Cheong!

“Hoohoo!”

He rushed at Taina, swinging his sword wildly.

This time it’s my turn to attack.

Taina couldn’t shake off her urgency to confront me with her sword, warning me of the hidden power within me.

“Whoaap!!!”

-Kwaaang!

Take advantage of the gap and deliver a powerful blow.

Because Taina isn’t the type of weapon that’s suited to fending off such attacks.

And if time passes and Tainagas notices the initial cooldown and continues to attack.

At that point, we can’t guarantee victory.

-Card grab!!!

“…That doesn’t seem to work right away. You don’t have much room to attack. ”

I didn’t know you would notice it so quickly.

I analyzed the psychology of the attack and came up with a plausible answer, but I still have the upper hand.

-Kwaaang!

“Caeng!”

Because the accumulated damage from the flurry of attacks is overwhelmingly on Taina’s side.

-Chae-Ang!

“Ugh…!”

That doesn’t mean I have the upper hand.

A desperate stalemate continues.

If you keep pushing forward, it seems like you will continue the offensive unilaterally,

“Gap…!”

That was just one opening for Taina to lead me to make a mistake.

Every time I fall into a trap, I feel frustrated that I am in a situation where I am not doing well even though I am in the upper hand.

The contingency plan that I will lose if this continues comes to mind.

-Kwaaang!

“Kaaang…!”

“Ugh!!”

The sound of swords clashing rings out and groans of pain come from both of us.

As the fight drags on, he looks increasingly tired.

Taina is physically challenged and I am psychologically challenged.

If even one gap were to appear, I would feel anxious that the remaining balance would be broken.

‘I can’t help it…!’

For beginners, 3 times a day is the limit.

If you use it more than that, you should be prepared to get coffee and pee.

It’s a shame to use 2 out of 3 in the round of 32, but I was too nervous to even think about that.

‘Beginner.’

Accidents are accelerating.

Muscles are activated.

Time seems to slow down, and space seems to slow down.

As I used it in response to Taina’s powerful attack, I could see Taina’s attack at a glance.

The gap after the attack also appears larger than usual.

‘Whoaaap!!!’

I scream inwardly and sharpen my sword to cut through the air.

Quick attack.

Taina sensed my presence and tried to defend herself as much as possible.

It wasn’t enough.

-Cheng! Tang! Kaang! Evil!

Breaks through the weak defense and wounds Taina.

Red lines were drawn here and there, and Taina tried to groan as if in pain.

It’s just that I can’t say it out loud because there’s no room left in the slowed down time.

Take a step back and activate the Holy Spirit.

‘The herbivore of the moon.’

Wrap your sword energy around a sharp, curved sword.

The first step ends as soon as you memorize the tone.

The Moon’s first eclipse is a constellation that requires a long warm-up time to match its power.

The beginner definitely shortened that warm-up time and played a role in the attack for the finish like now.

“…the first victory.”

He focused his mind on the sword and raised his sword energy.

The sword is imbued with a black energy that shatters into pieces and emits a light as bright as moonlight.

He instantly leaps forward, carrying the mysterious energy contained in the sword that is curved in an ordinary manner.

Apply the beginner’s technique to focus your power on one spot.

“Kaaang, kaaa!!!”

Taina staggered, shaking off the aftereffects of the attack and began to draw orange energy from the claws in her hands.

A sudden burst of fiery black energy, unlike usual.

Although he was flustered, he didn’t stop for a moment and gathered his strength.

Let’s put aside our doubts for a moment and focus on the current match.

“Line!!!!”

He finished his meal and ran towards me.

A crescent moon-like black energy is scattered throughout the sky, and a sharpness sufficient to cut the opponent in front of you is manifested.

“Kaaa …

Taina let out a bestial howl and rushed at the attack.

It’s a critical situation.

The moment when the match is decided in an instant.

“……..No.”

A cold, hard voice is heard.

A man was wedged between Se Na and Taina, who were unaware of it.

If you saw me using the beginner mode, would that be what I would look like?

-Paaaack!

The sandstorm is blowing.

I couldn’t bring myself to withdraw my attack, so I ended up swinging my sword, and the sensation of flesh slicing through my hand still lingered.

“What, what is it…?”

“Why is the cleaner over there?”

“Blood, blood! It’s bleeding! Call the teacher!”

“Dad, it’s an injury, it’s an injury!”

It’s done.

“…What is it.”

An unidentified man holding Taina in his arms.
