Since she's been around ancient, standalone digital games since childhood, her Nen manifests as a digital world made up of blocks, kind of like the Cairo game on the Earth or My World.
If she had just loved games, she wouldn't have needed to create such a strict restriction and oath.
But once she learned about Nen and the importance of strength in this world, she knew she had to set those limits.
The game world requires killing monsters and leveling up, so she naturally made those rules for herself.
Right now, she's very satisfied.
Not only has she gained incredible strength through her Nen ability, but she's also fulfilled her dream of turning reality into a game.
The restriction doesn't bother her at all since it only affects her body.
Although she talks and acts like a child, inside she has the soul of an adult.
Just because Pakkuri looks young doesn't mean she truly is a child.
In reality, the team only has three members: Larry, Beyond, and Ging.
Among them, Pakkuri is the strongest after Marione and Pariston, ranking sixth overall in the team.
This strength comes from years of relentless monster hunting and constant leveling up, which has built her impressive power.
Beyond chose to recruit her not just for her strength but also for her unique ability to read.
Beyond values this skill for two main reasons.
First, she can see the health and aura bars of both enemies and allies during battle, which is incredibly useful.
For example, there's no need to worry about opponents faking death; the visible health bar clearly shows if someone is truly down.
Second, she can digitize her own body.
No matter how much damage she takes, her physical condition doesn't change; only her health points drop.
This is just like characters in a video game.
Beyond considers this ability almost like a cheat code.
When two fighters are evenly matched, the one with a digitized body will almost always win because injuries accumulate and affect physical performance.
Broken hands or feet can seriously hinder strength, but for someone digitized, as long as their health bar isn't empty, they can keep fighting in top form.
While mental stamina still decreases during battle, being immune to physical damage is a huge advantage.
Most importantly, this ability isn't just for her; it can help the whole team, turning multiple members into players.
However, this power drains Pakkuri's aura quickly, so Beyond only let's her use it in tougher fights.
Suddenly, the scene before everyone's eyes changes.
The once clear environment transforms into a single-player game style, and even the gross, decayed corpses look almost cute at first glance.
"Game style?" someone murmured in surprise.
Larry raised his eyebrows as he looked down at himself and then glanced around at the corpses scattered nearby.
It felt like he was inside a Minecraft game, especially since some of the bodies resembled zombies from the game.
In the corner of his vision, he noticed a health bar and a blue bar; his own health bar was green.
He could also see the green health bars of other living people, while the corpses' bars were red.
This was clearly a very useful mental ability, mainly serving as support, and it worked for groups.
Thanks to the restrictions and oaths she had made, this ability could boost her strength.
The fact that killing monsters and leveling up matched the game system made the restriction effective; otherwise, simply having that limit wouldn't result in such clear benefits.
Larry understood why only she could benefit.
Restrictions and oaths worked like alchemy, based on equal exchange.
There was no way to exploit loopholes; to gain something, you had to give something in return.
Just as Larry was reflecting on this, a fight suddenly broke out that seemed like a game battle to an outsider.
"Hah!"
As usual, Beyond took the lead.
The moment he landed on the ground, a golden wave of Nen aura shot up into the sky, kicking up dust everywhere.
Originally at the back of the team, Beyond suddenly leapt into the air and then dove downward, carried by the soft, flowing ribbons of golden aura surrounding him.
His foot stretched out straight, glowing with a majestic, intense aura that was almost too bright to look at directly.
"Bang!"
Beyond's foot slammed down on the body of a wolf-shaped carrion, hitting it like a meteorite.
The rotting wolf's body made a series of cracking sounds before collapsing instantly.
But instead of relief, Beyond's face darkened with shock and frustration.
His complexion grew even gloomier.
To the onlookers, it looked like an overwhelming display of power, but Beyond, the attacker, knew the truth: the defense of these rotting corpses was far tougher than he'd expected.
What he had just attacked was no ordinary enemy; it was a wolf-type carrion.
Wolves have a unique trait often described as "copper head and iron tail tofu kidney," meaning their heads and tails are tough, but their waists are relatively fragile, a known weak spot.
The area Beyond had just struck happened to be the wolf's waist, but it wasn't as easy to break as he expected.
The decaying flesh on the surface was soft and weak; Beyond felt he could break it even without using his aura.
After all, just walking can cause rotten flesh to fall off, showing how fragile it really is.
What truly challenged Beyond, though, was the skeleton inside the corpse.
The bones were incredibly hard.
Even with the wolf's "tofu-like waist," he had to spend a lot of aura just to crush those waist bones.
For anyone else, it would have been even tougher.
With these thoughts running through his mind, Beyond kept pressing forward.
Standing firm, he clenched his palm-sized fists, and streams of golden light wrapped around them.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two powerful punches landed on the wolf-shaped corpse, shattering it completely and causing pieces to fall to the ground.
The bones inside were fully exposed, broken into sections but still impressively hard.
Despite using so much aura, the bones only cracked instead of turning to dust.
With such toughness, these bones might even make excellent materials for top-quality magical weapons.
Since the waist was broken, Beyond got a clear look inside.
In a flash of insight, he suddenly recalled that Larry's Nen beast had attacked the middle part of the corpse earlier.
Though it was brief, this realization felt like the biggest advantage gained from the fight.
"Everyone, aim for the middle part of the corpse, that's the real core!"
Beyond shouted loudly, knocking over another attacking corpse nearby.
His voice was clear and carried to everyone.
Meanwhile, everyone was still battling the rotting corpses.
Ging instinctively reached out to grab a piece of fruit to eat but stopped when his hand touched his safety suit.
