An hourglass, a book.
The sands of time in the hourglass trickled down a thread.
The book was open, revealing only one page.
On it was written: 177/1000
Jason's mind raced with guesses at the sight of the hourglass and book, and to confirm his conjecture, he took a brief rest before heading towards the door again.
Without truly stepping outside.
Jason remained on the threshold, yet even so, the firewood in his hands was immediately extinguished.
But this did not hinder him; Jason raised his hand and cast a [Protection Against Evil].
sI oT Yn!
'i!
The monsters surging around the stone house were instantly engulfed by the [Protection Against Evil].
Amidst the monsters' shrieks, Jason returned indoors, rekindled the firewood, and looked back at the hourglass and notebook.
The sands in the hourglass continued to flow.
The number on the notebook had changed.
178/1000!
The monster he had just killed was now counted.
