Fifteen minutes to midnight.

Rin ran at a modest velocity through a desolate part of the suburbs. She was chasing garbage imps. They were low-level monsters aptly named because they lived in the city's bins and dumps. They were so weak that they could be defeated with an effortless punch.

Krik! Krik! Krik! The little creatures scampered across the concrete pavements, running for their lives.

[ Species: Imp ]

[ Garbage Imp: Level 3 ]

'How did I end up doing this?' Rin wondered, racing behind them. 'I don't even like hurting animals that can't defend themselves.' She shed a tear every time she accidentally killed an imp.

The girl would be made to wander the desolate lanes of the city. She would show no signs of her high level.
