Hunter Bonds? No, Players Just Want to Max Out at Lightning Speed

You wake up in a pitch-black space. The only light comes from the panel in front of you. 【Would you like to bind yourself to the System?】 (Please choose carefully) [Yes] [No] [Yes] ← The System has you over a barrel, so you have no choice but to bind yourself to the game system. But it hid one condition from you: if you fail five rounds in a row, you won't get another chance. So you have to be extremely cautious. Only by growing stronger can you make it safely through the dungeons. You have to focus on both the missions and getting stronger. That's what every player must do. Dungeon One: 【Game dungeon: The Land Abandoned by the “Gods,” loading complete. Game mission: Save Meteor City. Time limit: 5 years】 You descend upon Meteor City once again. After failing twice, you're left baffled. You've already wiped out all the evil. Why did you still fail? All you had to do was “save” it. Wouldn't getting everyone out of their predicament have been enough? 【That was only a “save” on the surface. What happens after the player disappears?】 To avoid a disastrous ending, you follow the System's instructions and start forming relationships with other people 【Main mission: Save Sarasa】 After years of suppressing threats beyond the city, you return to Meteor City. Your former companions have their doubts: “When we first met, did you approach us with an ulterior motive and use Nen on us?” “No.” They're your companions, no, your former companions, so you decide to help them one last time, using the brutal methods you've relied on for years until the very end, when you part ways. Dungeon Two: 【Game dungeon: The Land Protected by the “Gods,” loading complete. Game mission: Save the Kurta Clan. Time limit: 5 years】 You arrive among the Kurta Clan, whose people are beautiful. After searching high and low, you find the key character, just like in the previous dungeon. 【Main mission: Save Pairo】 But you never expected that, unlike in Dungeon One, you'd also have to raise the Kurta people's affection for you to advance the mission. So you use an item to give their affection a huge boost. One day, you accompany your companion Kurapika as he fulfills his wish to go outside, only for enemies to attack. Beneath the System's thick layer of pixelation, you spot some familiar faces. They're strong: they're your former companions from Dungeon One. But it doesn't matter. The player is stronger. For the mission, the player can do anything. “Die for me once.” You plunge your knife into the heart of the leader, who has already lost the ability to move. Dungeon Three: 【Game dungeon: The Land Without a “God,” loading complete. Game mission: Save the Zoldyck family. Time limit: ? years】 This time, you're a family member created through the Nen abilities of the head and his wife. … 【This novel will be available as a paid title on March 15, 2025】 Content warnings: 1.
