Give curse to this wonderful world!

Chapter 1

???: "Now please hold your hand over this crystal, but do take your glove off for complete accuracy"

???: "Yea yea, although shouldn't it just detect my magical power or somethin?"

???: "While it doesn't work quite like that, it does scan your overall aptitude and affinities"

???: "hmm...yea i guess that works"

Taking his glove off, he held his hand over the blue crystal ball suspended in a bronze circular apparatus with a dark wooden base holding what appeared to be an empty card.

???: "Now what...?"

Before he could finish his question, the crystal started to glow brightly, funnelling magicules just below the ball and into a sort of laser which struck the card, forming an 'X' pattern on the card before running over the entire thing, engraving his name and details onto said card. Once the glowing died down, the rather well endowed guild clerk picked up the card, reading all the stats on it with a look of utter shock and surprise.

???: "um...Turtl, is it? Your stats look..."

Turtl: "my stats look?"

???: "off the charts! I have never seen anyone with such stats before! You could choose any class you want like this!"

Turtl: "well since bounty hunter isn't technically a class, i'll go with magic swordsman"

???: "a dual class? Are you sure you want to do something like that?"

Turtl: "ma'am, with all due respect i think i can handle a couple easy classes like that, hell, i may even go with the advanced versions just to spite your disapproval"

???: "alright, then please allow us to formally welcome you into the guild Turtl!"

???: "turtle? Like the slow-ass sea animal?"

He whipped his head around and glared daggers at the boy in a dark green tracksuit standing behind him.

Turtl: "want me to show you slow? Hey wait a minute..."

Our intrepid anti-hero looked the boy up and down slowly before taking his card from the guild clerk and stepping aside.

Turtl: "sorry for that little outburst, i didn't realise who was standin behind me for a sec"

He looked at the girl with long blue hair and an extremely short skirt, almost looking unsafe enough to even be able to bend over without flashing someone.

???: "Well it seems someone knows a goddess when they see one!"

The girl huffed with a proud look on her face, crossing her arms under her chest and pushing it up a bit.

Turtl: "nah, well that is sorta true, but i don't care much for goddesses, especially the overly self righteous types"

???: "huh?!"

Turtl: "please Aqua, you should remember me, after all, i did sorta crash that one party..."

He flashed his eyes from the usual dull silver and green to their brightly empowered silver and purple colours, amazing everyone who was watching, and sending a visible chill up the goddess's spine.

Aqua: "Now I remember you! How dare you do that! And how dare you insult me again!"

He chuckled a bit and gave a bow, putting a hand on his heart and deeply lowering himself with his other arm outstretched.

Turtl: "nice to properly meet you, allow me to formally introduce myself, the name's Turtl, interdimensional bounty hunter and an absolute killer with the ladies"

The boy who was now behind the self-proclaimed goddess put a fist over his mouth and sputtered what sounded to be holding in a laugh.

Turtl: "how's about you two get your registry done and we can catch up after, yea?"

The two looked to each other, then back to where Turtl was standing, only for him not to be there.

???: "Well I guess he's gone for now, let's do this!"

He handed four gold coins to the guild clerk and they did their own registering of the guild, with aqua garnering the same surprise and attention from the clerk.

~Timeskip~

Over the next week or so, Turtl, Aqua, and the boy who is now known as Kazuma worked away at building an entire brick wall, with Kazuma collapsing a couple times due to overworking himself as Aqua gained a better liking from the other workers. Turtl mostly just goofed around, only working when the boss man arrived. Their living plan was less than optimal, as they had to sleep in the stables with the horses. While everyone was asleep, Turtl was wandering around the city of beginners, placing his usual runes around and petting some of the strays he walked past, putting runes on them also. When he finished doing that he left the city gate for the night and found himself a nice tree to climb up and sit on, gazing at the stars while his eyelids grew heavy, eventually falling asleep on the branch he was sitting on.

Turtl: "this better be worth...all the trouble..."
