[3rd Pov]
After Bell woke up, he got scolded by Hestia and she told him to show her his back.
Hestia showed a surprised face seeing the runes in front of her.
'What! "SS" stats? But that's impossible no one should be able to go beyond 999(S), It must be this strange skill... {Liaris Freese}' she thought while looking at Bell's status.
Meanwhile Calvin that is behind Hestia was looking at the floating runes trying to understand what it said.
'There must be something more to god's language as it seems that my race is preventing me from reading it' Calvin thought as looking at it was giving him a slight headache.
"Congratulations Bell! you leveled up and even got a new skill [Luck]!" Hestia said while handing bell the paper with his new status.
"Woah! Now I'm level2? And what does [Luck] do Kami-sama?" bell said looking at his new status page.
"I... haven't seen it before so you can ask it to your elf friend at the guild" she said looking at the side while pouting.
"Really? Then I'll go right now, and I have to update my information at the guild too" he said while going out the door.
*Hump! * "Baka bell" she said and slumped in the bed hugging the pillow to her face.
Seeing this Calvin was very irritated 'how could a god act like this?' he thought.
"I would also like for you to update my status, Hestia" Calvin said swallowing his irritation at the woman that acted like a kid.
"Ah, then come here and show me your back" she said wile pointing at the edge of the bed.
Calvin went to the edge of the bed and lifted his shirt, showing his back that didn't have a single scar contrary to before his race change as he had many scars.
Hestia put her hand in his back and the tattoo of cauldron started shining and runes appeared floating in the air.
Meanwhile Hestia was looking at his status wide-eyed
'What? Didn't he join my Familia like a week ago? How did he grow so much in so little time? And again with "SS" stats but only on strength... he always talked about getting stronger but never said the reason... AND HE CAN LEVEL UP ALREADY?! Just how many monsters did you kill!' after rambling in her mind for a bit she looked at Calvin with a complex expression.
'Does that mean that he has {liaris freese}? But it doesn't show up in his status... if it's a similar ability then wouldn't that mean that his need for getting strong his more than that of bell? Just what is your purpose' as she put a paper on his back copying his status on it.
"here" she said handing him the page

While calving was looking at his status page Hestia was about to level him up but stopped.
"Do you want to level up right now?" she asked, Hephaestus once told her that some adventurers didn't want to level up for some reason? So, it's better to ask.
Calvin thought for a moment 'even if I didn't hit the cap on everything it should be fine, right?'
"Yes, I want to level up" he said
Hearing that Hestia pressed the one rune that seemed to be shining more than the others.
At this moment Calving was seeing the system notifications that kept popping up in his vision leaving little to no time to read them.

"wow" he said unconsciously
"Yeah, well now you are level2 and I guess that you don't want to stop there, here your new status" Hestia said handing her the paper
"Obviously, I need to get even stronger" he said while putting his shirt on and grabbing the paper.
"And why do you want to be stronger?" Hestia said while leaking a bit of her Divinity to see why he needed to be stronger.
Calvin didn't even notice that his answer was being influenced by her "if I am strong enough, I can bring them back".
Calvin that just realized what he said looked at Hestia with suspicion, but Hestia just looked at him with an innocent look tilting her head to the side and putting a finger on her cheek.
'Tch, I can't even get mad at her, I really need to stop making connections with people' he thought while remembering the love potion.
"Anyways, that's all I needed from you Bye" Calvin said while approaching the door.
"Eh? Ah! Um... I needed something from you..." she said while looking to the side.
"And what would that be?" he said crossing his arms.
"Money! I need you to pay your debt" Hestia said without an ounce of shame in her voice.
"Ah well I got a few drops and killed a lot of monsters, I made like 8 million valis" he said while opening his pouch filled with coins.
Seeing the coins Hestia's pupils seemed to become Valis symbols and she stared at the pouch while massaging her hands.
"Then you can pay half today and the rest later hehehe hehe" she said while laughing creepily.
"uhm... o....kay?" handing her 5 million, she just stared a the pouch with shining eyes.
Calvin just left the silly goddess there not wanting to ruin his image of gods more.

[Calvin Pov]
'Well, that was something that I didn't expect from a god'
As I was walking around, I remembered something from the system.
'Show me the [Chained spirit] abilities'
[Please chose an ability:
######: XXXXXXXXX
######: XXXXXXXXX
######: XXXXXXXXX
Mutations:
######: XXXXXXXXX
######: XXXXXXXXX
######: XXXXXXXXX
Fusion: +2 Slots
Fuse 2 chained spirits into a new one perfectly merging both thus creating a completely new species. Can only be used on entities with the same #0r1G1n#, the fused entity will inherit both strengths and weaknesses of the fused spirits.
^#Ch0s3_tH1s_OnE#]
Seeing this surprised me, I can only choose one, and the others are blacked out.
'The 'System' is telling me to choose that one...' wait, the system told me that one of my chained spirits wanted to communicate with me, then the one fucking with the system must be Kala And her super strange skill.
Which means that I am getting closer to bring them back! And now she is trying to help me.
'I chose [Fusion]'
"Now I need to keep getting stronger" as I go to the dungeon.
