=========================================
Lying quietly on his bed, feeling the fingers glide over his back, Mika fell into deep thought.
When he had seen Tanjiro and Sabito sparring and had thought that Tanjiro had cheated, Mika had immediately remembered his own cheating.
That cheat was the Blessing of the Gods.
With the Blessing of the Gods, Mika's future physical fitness could completely surpass that of demons.
Moreover, combined with the breathing techniques.
Even Muzan wouldn't scare Mika in the slightest.
Moreover, being able to travel between different worlds, Mika had much more time at his disposal compared to Kamado Tanjiro.
Once Mika decided to use his trick, he would never be left behind.
Even if Tanjiro was the protagonist of the story.
"Huh, it seems like you've awakened a skill, Mika!"
"A skill!?"
Mika shouted in surprise.
"That's right!"
Yahweh, who was also shocked by this news, quickly updated Mika's status, then hurriedly translated it onto paper and handed it to him.
[Name]: Mika
[Level]: LV.1
[Status]: Strength: I0→E412 Stamina: I0→C687 Dexterity: I0→D536 Agility: I0→D586 Magic: I0
[Magic]: 『』.
[Skills]:
"Danger Sense".
- Provides a warning of impending danger.
- The greater the danger, the stronger the warning.
==========
Staring at his status, Mika fell into contemplation.
In the world of Danmachi, the Blessing of the Gods consists of five components in addition to the name of the bearer.
They are Level, Ability, Base Status, Magic, and Skills.
Of these, level is the most important. An increase in level causes a dramatic change in an adventurer's strength, which is why leveling up is also known as 'ascending'.
Abilities are exclusive to adventurers above LV.2.
These special attributes can only appear during the Ascension process, and are crucial to increasing the strength of high-level adventurers.
At the time of this writing, both Mika and Airmid, being LV.1, had no ability data.
Next is the base stat, which consists of Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, and Magic.
Each of these is divided into ten ranks, from low to high: I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A, S.
Each rank has an upper limit of one hundred points.
For example, the range for rank I is 0-99. If you exceed 99 and reach 100, you fall into rank H, which ranges from 100-199, and so on.
The maximum for basic status is rank S, which ranges from 900-999.
Typically, 999 is the limit for basic status.
In reality, very few can reach this limit, as 999 represents the peak of human potential.
As potential is tapped, it becomes increasingly difficult to increase base status.
Initially, a single quest could increase a particular stat by over 10 points, but after 900 points, only life-and-death crises can increase it by 1-2 points.
And that 1-2 point increase is equivalent to a 1-2 point increase in the early stages.
Therefore, almost no one chases after this distant limit.
When an adventurer's body reaches its limit, it's time to prepare for an upgrade. Upgrading breaks the current limit, expands potential, and speeds up the increase in strength.
Adventuring is required to improve these stats.
To increase strength, exert yourself.
To increase stamina, endure attacks.
To increase Dexterity, practice skills.
To increase agility, run.
To increase Magic, use Magic.
To increase Blessing of the Gods, train your body continuously.
Simple training lowers the efficiency of skill improvement; only real combat and life-or-death fights can maximize the improvement of base stats.
For this reason, almost all of the strongest Danmachi live in Orario because of its dungeon and constant combat.
Outside of Orario, adventurers rarely become experts.
Thus, Orario becomes the center of the world.
In addition to level, ability, and base stats, magic and skills also have a major impact on an adventurer's strength.
Skills are called 'Thought Crystals'.
Different adventurers rarely have identical skills, and different skills have different effects on an adventurer's strength.
For example, the protagonist Bell Cranel's most important attribute is his Liaris Freese' skill.
This skill allowed him to advance quickly, accomplishing in months what took others years or decades, and to become a renowned figure in Orario.
As for magic,
he symbolizes miracles.
Any magic can become the trump card of its owner.
In a monster-infested dungeon, having a teammate who can attack from afar is every adventurer's dream.
However, magic requires a high level of talent.
Most people lack the talent for magic.
In Orario, the most famous mages are of the elven race.
They are a naturally magical race.
"Strength is E, stamina is C, dexterity and agility are D!"
What caught Mika's attention first was his base stats.
These numbers represented his training results.
Although these numbers weren't very high, they didn't surprise Mika.
Under normal circumstances, it takes years to train a base state to the limit.
Moreover, during those years, adventurers spent most of their time in combat.
After all, the LV.1 limit is the normal human limit.
Without the Blessing of the Gods, even decades of training might not reach this level.
The Blessing of the Gods greatly shortens this process.
Personal talent also plays a crucial role in this training process.
Those with poor talents might need almost ten years.
Those with excellent talents might need two to three years.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as the main characters in the original story.
Ais, a descendant of the spirits with extreme talent, needed only one year.
The protagonist Bell, with an extreme cheat, took only one month, including the half month before his cheat was activated.
Looking at his basic status, Mika felt that his talent wasn't bad.
Even though it took him a year and a half to reach this level, he wasn't living with death every day like other adventurers.
Having reached this level through mere training, Mika considered himself talented.
"Not bad!"
After praising himself, Mika looked at his skill.
--
"Danger Sense"
- Provides a warning of impending danger.
- The greater the danger, the stronger the warning.
--
"Isn't this the 'intuition' I trained? I didn't expect it to become a skill!"
Mika's face showed a surprised expression.
This was indeed beyond his expectations.
--------------------------

### Danger Awareness Skill
The existence of the Danger Awareness skill was indeed unexpected for Mika.
However, upon further reflection, Mika realized that it made perfect sense.
Although it was somewhat surprising, it was a reasonable explanation.
After all, Mika had been training diligently during this period, so it was only natural that a skill born from such training would be related to it.
Even if the skill hadn't come directly from the training itself, it would still have been influenced by the training.
As it turned out, this was indeed the case.
Mika was quite pleased with the result.
The Danger Awareness skill was formed at a time when he was often injured. In order to improve this skill, he would have to be in danger all the time.
However, as Mika's strength increased, the traps and obstacles that once threatened him ceased to do so.
This stagnated the improvement of the skill.
But now that the ability had evolved into a skill, it underwent a significant transformation.
In the future, as Mika's level increased, the skill would also improve, maintaining its usefulness and strength.
"Even though it's not a combat-enhancing ability, I'm very satisfied with it."
Putting down the paper, Mika spoke seriously to Yahweh and Airmid.
"As long as you're satisfied," Yahweh replied casually.
Suddenly she seemed to remember something and asked Mika seriously.
"So, as the leader of the Yahweh Familia, what are your plans for the future development and actions of the Familia?"
"Plans, huh?"
Hearing Yahweh's question, Mika scratched his head.
It wasn't something he had given much thought to.
Despite his appointment as leader of the Familia, Mika was not someone who liked to strategize.
It wasn't that he didn't like to think.
He just preferred to solve problems with strength rather than intellect.
As for the Familia's plans, they had never crossed his mind.
"I don't have any."
Seeing Mika's worried expression, Yahweh chuckled.
"Well, in that case, why don't you leave the planning to me for now?"
"If you're willing, that would be great."
Mika was of course pleased that Yahweh was willing to take responsibility.
After all, the gods in this world were often frivolous, which made the responsible ones quite valuable.
"All right, I'll show you what I can do!"
Seeing Yahweh's smile, both Mika and Airmid shivered slightly.
Could their goddess also be one of those playful gods?
Mika couldn't help but wonder.
---
"Wake up!"
Startled by Yahweh's voice, Mika sat up quickly.
Looking at the night outside, Mika looked at Yahweh, looking for an explanation.
But Yahweh said nothing, only telling Mika to get ready and follow her.
Early in the morning, before the sun had risen.
As they watched Yahweh lead the way, Mika and Airmid exchanged puzzled glances.
"Do you know what's happening?"
"No idea."
"But haven't you two slept together?"
"I only know that she's preparing something, but not the details."
"I see."
Since Airmid didn't know anything, Mika stopped asking.
A week had passed since Mika had returned to this world, and during that time, the entire village had learned about the goddess Yahweh, making the village quite lively.
Mika had spent this time practicing breathing techniques and swordsmanship, determined to keep up with Tanjiro by maximizing his time advantage.
Immersed in his training, Mika had no idea what Yahweh was up to.
But he was about to find out.
---
"Ta-da! What do you think?"
Yahweh asked proudly, pointing to the mountain path ahead.
"Is this Mr. Urokodaki's training ground?"
Having lived among traps for a year and a half, Mika immediately recognized the traps and obstacles in the forest.
"Exactly!"
With her hands on her hips, Yahweh explained her plan with a smile.
"Although I would love to take you to Orario for real combat, I've decided to stay in this village for a while because I have more effective ways to train your swordsmanship, Mika."
"But since it's training, I won't just train you! So I've copied Mr. Urokodaki's method for Airmid and created this trap-filled forest."
"After that, I'll also teach her swordsmanship to improve her strength. I'm sure Airmid will be thrilled with this plan."
"Of course!"
Airmid replied firmly.
As Mika's childhood friend, Airmid wanted to stay by his side forever.
However, she didn't want to be a burden, someone who needed protection.
So she was eager to improve her strength.
Seeing the forest prepared for her, Airmid felt nothing but gratitude.
"Thank you, Yahweh-sama!"
"No need to thank me!"
Yahweh waved dismissively and led Airmid and Mika into the forest.
At the starting point, Yahweh pointed to the path ahead.
"This is your direction. Considering your physical condition, the traps won't be too dangerous in the beginning. Just do your best."
"Understood!"
Having heard about this training from Mika, Airmid was well aware of the challenges ahead.
At Yahweh's signal, she charged forward with determination.
Soon, various traps were triggered and the silent forest came alive.
"Alright, stop watching."
Yahweh patted Mika's shoulder and spoke seriously.
"She doesn't want you to help her. You need to concentrate on your own training."
"I understand."
Watching Airmid rise after being knocked down by a trap, Mika turned away and followed Yahweh further into the forest.
Soon they reached a clearing.
In the clearing was a rack with various weapons.
There were swords, spears, daggers, and bows, among other weapons.
From the material, Mika could tell that these were hastily made prototypes of weapons, not complete pieces.
"Draw your sword."
"Yes!"
At Yahweh's command, Mika immediately drew his sword.
Yahweh also took a one-handed sword from the rack.
"You attack first!"
"Yes!"
Mika now understood that Yahweh's more effective training method was to spar with her.
The thought made Mika tremble with excitement.
Yahweh was a true goddess!
Fighting a god!
The idea was unbelievable.
The excitement ignited Mika's spirit and he quickly calmed down, feeling blessed.
In an instant, Mika stepped forward heavily and rushed towards Yahweh.
At the same time, he swung his sword at Yahweh.
It was a perfect strike.
Perfect arc, perfect power, perfect form.
It was Mika's strongest strike since he started learning swordsmanship.
This strike embodied his year and a half of hard work and dedication.
But this strike that filled Mika with confidence was effortlessly blocked by Yahweh.
At that moment, Mika snapped out of his calm state, stunned.
Mika had expected Yahweh to be strong.
He had expected failure.
He had even expected a crushing defeat.
But this was beyond his imagination.
Yahweh used a technique from the Water Breathing style, one of the ten forms.
And she used it more skillfully than he did.
But Mika had only demonstrated it to her last night.
