Dungeon 4th floor__
A boy with short golden hair was holding a black spear, wearing black chest armor, and arm guards, and his whole body was wrapped in a golden light forming designs like a full-body armor. The boy was killing monsters that cracked from the walls of the dungeon, his movements were swift and clean, and anyone looking could tell that the boy had practiced his spear skills with diligence.

Today is my first dungeon dive and second day after joining the Hephaestus familia, even though my strength was well over a common first-level adventurer I made it a point to kill monsters on each floor to get the experience first, as a dungeon and surface monster are not comparable in strength, and if a weaker monster managed to hurt me because I couldn't efficiently kill them then that would be humiliating. The monsters appearing on the first four floors were goblins and kobolds and occasionally dungeon lizards, a green ugly humanoid, a dog-headed monster, and a brown quadrupedal lizard monster respectively. A level three member named Arthur was also sent to guide me today, seeing me kill the monsters easily he was walking about fifty meters behind me. I was also trying one of the magic that Prakasha had taught me, an enhancement type magic called, Holy armor, it has good defense and also minor healing capabilities. It is short chant magic but requires very good mental control while casting.
As we had come to the dungeon because I had to buy my armor and some potions, it is already time to go back. I made some small talk with Arthur and we reached back to familia's home.
The same night as I joined the familia I did two things firstly I used my Hide skill and concentrated to hide the extra brightness of my soul, secondly, I made myself a timetable so that I don't waste time, I woke up early in the morning and do physical exercises that were perfected by scientific simulation based on the ancient physical and mental exercises of my previous life homeland, that was created in the cold weapon era. They used specific breathing holding while holding specific positions, it was very useful as doing it for a longer time would stack up the stress on the body strengthening the muscles to unbelievable levels.
Then I would refine my spear techniques based on previous battles as I am not foolish enough to believe that the muscle memory that needs to be honed with practice will be made possible directly in a life-and-death battle. I will also battle against anyone I find after practice, or take a bath and go to the dungeon where I would practice fighting monsters and my magic, I would come back from the dungeon by mid-afternoon and then learn smithing theories and god script from the goddess, in the evening, I practice smithing with graham or practice potion-making, and the time left until my sleep time would be spent on magic theories.

I am in a very good mood lately, it was all because of the little guy who has joined my familia recently, it has only been a month and I cannot keep count of the times I have been astonished by his talent, at first I thought it might be more than he could handle when he came to my chamber and asked me to teach him the god's script, but as he begged me to give it a try, I was surprised when he learned them very quickly and completely learned all the letter and many words in a month, that was also because god's script takes a lot of mental energy to learn them for the first time. And also his mysterious skill was proven to increase the power of his magic as he increases his knowledge of magic.
Not only his talent, but he is also very diligent in his practice, his smithing skills are improving very quickly and with my help, he bought many books from the guild on magic and potion making. His physical base power is also very high as he almost can fight on an equal footing with veteran level three without enhancement. I always feel lucky to have a child like him in my familia.
