I woke up the next day with Cibel and Camila by my side.
New system windows appeared. There were two windows, each offering three skills to choose from.
'What a headache. I'll deal with this when I get home.'
I got out of bed, and Camila opened her eyes. She smiled at me and went back to sleep. I went to the bathroom and took a cold shower before leaving the "inn." When I reached downstairs, the woman at the reception smiled at me.
"Your night was quite fun, wasn't it?"
I ignored her.
I left the inn and ran to my room. On the way, I bought something for breakfast: bread filled with meat with sauce and a bottle of juice.
I sat on the bed and ate while analyzing the skills.
The first window had two useful skills: "Dvergr Enhance" and "Ardigalea." The first skill significantly increases my attack, and the second increases my endurance.
The useless skill I received was "Defense LV1." It's a skill that increases my defense by only 1%. If it increases by one percent per level, the maximum would be 10%. Well... Since it's a permanent effect, it might not be so useless.
Even so, I decided to choose the "Dvergr Enhance" skill.
'This makes it clear that the skills I gain have nothing to do with who I fuck. They're just random skills. It's like a gacha.'
I bit into my bread and looked at the second window. Again, there are three skills, but only one is useful. The useful skill is called "Fire Magic LV1."
The other two skills are "Archery LV1" and "Cook LV1." One skill improves my skills with a bow (A weapon I'll probably never use), and the second skill increases my cooking skills.
But I don't need this.
"Also, fire magic is cool. I've always wanted to create explosions. But I'll need to level it up to do this. Okay, now I have two new skills... My current status is:"
Name - Luan Taylor
Nickname - None
Strength - 48
Agility - 54
Endurance - 27
Magic - 20
Perception - 20
Skills available for use: "Falna Editing LvMAX" "Swordsmanship LV2" "Dark Magic LV3" "Abnormal Resistance" "Charming Aura LV2" "Dvergr Enhance" "Fire Magic LV1"
Points: 34
'I have 34 points to spend. I think I'll split them into strength, agility, and endurance. I'll also raise my perception a bit. I'll raise magic next time.'
[ Your strength is now 58! ]
[ Your agility is now 64! ]
[ Your endurance is now 37! ]
[ Your perception is now 24! ]
'Yes, 34 points spent. I think I'm much stronger now. I should go to the dungeon to test.'
I finished eating and grabbed my sword. Wearing the same clothes as yesterday, I headed towards the tower. When I was approaching and almost entering the dungeon, someone called me.
"Excuse me." A beautiful and soft voice. An emotionless voice.
I turned slowly and saw golden eyes staring into mine. "Your name is Luan, right?"
She knows my name? This is unbelievable. Did she ask someone about me?
Ais Wallenstein.
Right behind her were Tiona, Tione, and Bete.
Tiona looked at me, confused. Tione didn't seem to care... and Bete looked annoyed.
"Yes, my name is Luan. You're Ais from the Loki Familia. It's a pleasure to meet you. I think we've seen each other before but didn't have the chance to talk."
"Yes. I was curious about you since I felt something different about you… But you seem quite normal." Ais tilted her head while analyzing me. Should I take this as an offense?
No, being normal is good… Isn't it?
"And you're more beautiful than I thought. Last time, I didn't have the chance to get close to you." I smiled at Ais and could see her cheeks turning a little red. Bete, behind her, took a step forward.
"Hey, don't say unnecessary things. Hey, Ais, let's go in." He walked past me to enter the dungeon, and Tione followed him. Tiona stayed beside Ais and looked at me curiously before following them.
"I'll see you later," Ais said and left.
I think this is good. This means that Ais wants to meet me again.
'Now that I've talked to Ais… I can't stop thinking about Bell. Where's he? Does he really not exist in this world?'
I must have really taken his place as the protagonist. That's good because I won't have to worry about him getting in my way since he likes Ais a lot.
####
I entered the dungeon and started exploring the first floor without running since I wasn't in a hurry and didn't want to push myself too hard today. 'Let's test my new skills.'
The "Dvergr Enhance" skill is excellent, but I have no reason to test it now. But the "Fire Magic" skill certainly needs to be tested.
And what better place to test it than the first floor?
When I encountered my first enemy, I created a fireball and launched it at it.
BOOM!
Unlike the "Dark Magic" skill, the destructive power is excellent. Even at level one, I can probably kill monsters from the 4th floor or maybe even the 5th floor.
"Excuse me."
However, nearing the second floor, I heard a voice calling me. I quickly turned and went on guard because I couldn't trust anyone in this place.
I only trust characters I know.
The voice that called me belonged to a girl with a hood. She was short, much shorter than me.
Even without seeing her face, my eyes widened.
'Lili?'
Did she follow me here? Why?
