"Oy, boy.", Dwun called Leo seeing him on the streets. "Where are the godless hero?"
"I've come alone this time.", he smiled. "Why?"
"Here.", he threw a spear to the boy catch. "I take the blame after. So keep it in good use."
"Thanks.", he looked at the weapon. "What are those?", the spear cable was indigo while the blade was from a celestial blue in a cross format. On each part of the cross was a colorless gem.
"Each gem can be replaced by a elemental one. The spear in intelligent enough to use the ones the monsters are not immune to.", the dwarf explained.
"So I can use more than one per time?", the boy was astonished.
"Don't be dumb. As if you had enough Magic to do this.", the little man said. "It drains magic from you. So keep that in mind, kid.", and left without saying goodbye.
"Thank you.", he shouted to the blacksmith and this waved with his hand without looking back. "But tassel will be enough for today.", he then remembered. "I should give names to my weapons."
He picked all of his items. Envy and Gluttony already had their own names so he put them back on the inventory. Then he picked the scarf.
"Redtie.", and he guarded it. The next was the tassel. "Tassel is a nickname already but not one given by me.", he thought a little. "Needle is too generic. Injection will be. Not the best I'm sure but will be. Now you my new friend.", Injection was the size of this spear's cable. The blade in cross was huge. "Trinity. Because of the format and of the crystals."
He went to the Slime camp. He would redo the mission over and over. Looking for the golden slimes and golden kings. He noticed how weak he was near a bad intentioned hero. She was more like a demon or devil than a proper heroine.
"The man said that I would need a lot of magic to use all the jewels on Trinity. Maybe Hel... forget it. She doesn't want my help.", he gave a thought. "I have only an hour on my world.", he needed to talk with Carol's parent yet. "I'm trying to avoid that coming here. So stupid."
And the killing began. He was faster and faster as he repeated the missions. Sometime looked easy to him get the golden slimes. Sometimes they would even showed up giving him more time. So he finished one more time the mission after a while.
"This was possible?", he was shocked with the system. "Great the Ability Path to Glory."
"Show me a keyboard.", and he started to write and rewrite what he would like to have on the skill. "This is okay."
"Yes."
<1000 exp. earned.>
"Oh damn. It's time.", he changed clothes and opened the Portal to his world.
After while he arrived home.
"You took more than I expected.", his mother said. "You look horrible. Go take a shower and come back as fastly you can."
"Yes.", he went on double pace to his room take clothes and did the same to the bathroom direction.
A few minutes passed and he was on the living room. Caroline's parents and his parents were there. As well Carol with a sad face. He felt guilty at distance but approached.
"Sit.", his father said. "You'll hear and when they ask something you will politely reply, okay?"
"Yes."
"Good.", he said.
"Are you doing well, Leo?", Carol's mom asked.
"Yes, miss Ingrid."
"Glad to hear.", she had sad on her eyes while keeping the smile. "I'll let this to my husband. Just be truthful to us."
"Yes.", he replied even without the questioning he saw needed.
"Leonard. Are you dating our girl?", was Carol's father August.
"Yes, mister."
"She was brilliant when you both started to date. I was thankful was you. But today she arrived at home with a face that didn't pleased me and my wife. So I went to ask her what was and she didn't replied. I'm here to ask you if you did something that caused this to our daughter?"
"Yes.", he said and his parents closed their eye in reproval.
"Can you tell us what is?"
"I've my secrets, sir, but I can't share them. I think that Carol would eventually be hurt by not knowing them. So I wanted to show that I have them at least. In that way I'm in a way betraying her and hurt me. Really does but I can't chose between keeping them and keeping her."
"So you chose to keep both.", the man said. "You're a good kid. You really are but at this point you can't be seeing Caroline anymore.", he stood up. "Thank you for your time. See you later.", their family left with his mother going help them.
"You can't tell secrets that would prevent this?", his father asked.
"They are not mine to tell the others.", he replied.
"Okay.", he nodded his head a little. "But be sure to handle the consequences of them, my son.", he put a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Thanks for understanding, dad.", he was serious not even a tear showed up. "I'll make this work out eventually."
[Path to Glory: A list of all the heroines' photos you passed will be kept on the system. As well a pop up will show up pointing at them everytime you interact with them.

"If you're not a heroine for the other worlds Caroline. I'll make you a heroine of my own world. Even if I need to conquest another girls in the process.", then he realised. "How I am supposed to do that anyway?"
