It was only a dazzling moment. Ren had already returned home. He flopped down on the sofa, opened his phone, and took a look. Only one second had passed.
*****
Time really had paused. But Ren thought carefully. "How come the world's time doesn't get messed up like this?" In the Doomsday Game, he and Yukino stayed for 7 days. When he returned to the real world, time hadn't changed. However, the world time of the other people in the Chat Group was changing. When he carried out Doom Companion again, the world time stopped again, but the world time of the others was still changing. Wouldn't this time be very strange? He didn't think deeply about it; it was useless to think. It was better to look at the rewards he had already anticipated.
"150,000 doomsday points!" To be honest, he never expected there to be so many doomsday points as a reward. The most important thing was the double settlement for the first Doom Companion. "I really caught a good welfare."
With a light chuckle, Ren opened the Chat Group and found the Ability Enhancement function. He had a total of 157,000 doomsday points remaining. Without hesitation, he used all 150,000 to enhance Vector Manipulation.
"!!!"
A warm current flowed through his entire body. Then, Ren felt that he could control the surrounding vectors more easily. He clenched his fist. He felt that with a casual punch, he could easily crush a hundred-meter tall building through Vector Manipulation. There's also the permanent reflective Vector Layer on the surface of his body. He had a premonition that he could now be unafraid of nuclear bombs, just like Accelerator.
However, he still had a flaw. Like Accelerator, he also needed oxygen to breathe. Being able to withstand a nuclear explosion didn't mean he could survive one. Nuclear explosions are accompanied by high temperatures, enough to burn up all the oxygen at the epicenter. It would be very difficult to survive without oxygen. However, he wasn't worried. With the existence of doomsday points, he would overcome this weakness one day.
He glanced at the doomsday points required for the next level of Vector Manipulation. Ren fell silent.
[Original Stone Vector Manipulation to Lv6, requires 500,000 doomsday points.]
"Damn it!" 500,000 doomsday points, a full 500,000! He checked his own. He still had 7,000 doomsday points. Ability upgrades were out of the question for now. After some thought, he decided to use them on the roulette wheel.
He opened the Doomsday Roulette. Deducting 1,000 points, the roulette began to spin. With a 'ding!', the roulette stopped. But the position the pointer landed on left Ren speechless. It was empty!
"..." This was his first empty draw ever!
Then, the second time... empty! The third time... empty! All the way to the fifth time, it was still empty!!!
"Ah, this, no way, is this the normal probability?"
With the last 2,000 points, Ren, not believing his bad luck, continued! With a 'ding!', the roulette stopped.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining A-rank Sixth Sense!]
"It appeared!" Ren was delighted; after spending 6,000 points, he finally got something good.
[A-rank Sixth Sense]: Equivalent to a Sixth Sense; the body autonomously provides warnings in times of danger.
A very good ability, somewhat similar to Spider-Man's Spider-Sense.
"Fuse!" After fusing, his body didn't feel any changes. This ability was passive and likely hard to test. With the last 1,000 doomsday points, he simply upgraded Sixth Sense to Lv2.

He opened the Chat Group.
March 7th: "@Exusiai, have you guys returned?"
Exusiai: "Yes, the Doom Companion has ended."
Aqua: "Was there anything in Doom Companion? Was there anything good to eat?"
Saeko Busujima: "Uh, it's quite chaotic here, there's nothing good to eat."
Saeko Busujima: "However, after completing Doom Companion, we received doomsday point rewards. Exusiai and I both got 30,000 points, and Ren-kun got 150,000."
March 7th: "!!! 150,000! That's so much! What did you guys use the points for?"
Ren: "I strengthened Vector Manipulation to Lv5, and then I used the Doomsday Roulette to get a new ability, A-rank Sixth Sense, which is similar to a Sixth Sense."
Saeko Busujima: "Ren-kun, thank you for your help. If you don't mind, I can give you the points I received."
Ren: "There's no need for that. I've already gained enough benefits from the Doomsday Chat Group. You should use them to become stronger, so you can repay me more in the future, don't you think?"
Saeko Busujima: "...I understand! Ren-kun, when you need me, please tell me, I'll go through hell and high water!"
Ren: "Haha, alright."
A moment later,
Saeko Busujima: "I gained a new ability. One of them is somewhat similar to Ren-kun's Sixth Sense, B-rank Mind's Eye (Pseudo), which is an ability to discern movements through experience."
Saeko Busujima: "Besides that, I also gained a B-rank Physical Enhancement superpower, and I upgraded it to Lv3 with points."
Saeko Busujima: "It's amazing; I'm so strong now. I can freely move through hordes of Dead Bodies and slaughter them, and my strength and speed are beyond imagination."
Ren: "I also have the Physical Enhancement superpower. It greatly strengthens the body. If you use a sword, it and Mind's Eye are both very suitable for you."
Exusiai: "Hehe, I drew an A-rank ability, Firearm Creation, which allows me to create firearms and various ammunition anytime, anywhere."
Exusiai: "After upgrading it to Lv3, I can even create guns and etched bullets! I absolutely love this ability!"
Exusiai always had a dream: to own many guns! Now her dream could come true. She could create guns anytime, anywhere! She could create etched bullets with life energy. She would never have to worry about ammunition again. Thinking about the scene of controlling a dozen, or even dozens or hundreds of guns after activating Overload, Exusiai could wake up laughing in her sleep!
