Multiverse Gacha

[9] Remarkable Growth!

Splat~

A long sword pierced the neck of the monster, killing it.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, for completing the quest 'Test the Waters II: Hunt 100 level 1 monsters, 100/100, Completion Reward: Regular Draw Three Times.']

With the completion of the quest, a smile appeared on August's slightly exhausted face.

Now they were already on the third level of the dungeon, and killing 100 monsters had indeed taken a toll on August.

If it weren't for Riveria holding the line, August wouldn't have dared to push himself so hard.

After all, regardless of how deep you ventured into the dungeon, you still needed to return to Orario. The journey back was equally dangerous.

In this dungeon, adventurers killed by humans were by no means a small number.

Compared to ferocious monsters, humans with dark hearts were even more terrifying.

"All right, let's go back!"

"Aren't we going further down?"

Riveria teased August with a hint of sarcasm.

Honestly, she hadn't seen anyone with such a clear goal in a long time.

She had noticed it back on the second level—August hunted monsters as if completing a mission.

In her eyes, August had set a goal for himself, and he would only stop after achieving it.

She didn't know that August was genuinely completing tasks issued by the system.

"That's enough for today. Besides, we should go back and meet the others in the familia. It's not good to return too late and leave a bad impression!"

"That's true, let's go back!"

"Yeah!"

And so, August's first adventure as an adventurer, after killing 100 monsters, came to a successful end.

August began sorting out his gains.

100 magic stones, and some bones from the goblins and wolf pelts from the black wolves were his loot.

August planned to keep these materials for now. In case he gained a forging or other skills in the future, they might come in handy.

As for selling them, the drops from the first and second levels were hardly worth much.

Back in Orario, August went to the guild and exchanged all 100 magic stones for Valis. Exactly 10,000 Valis.

In other words, one magic stone was worth 100 Valis.

For a newcomer, this harvest was already a small fortune.

Reaching his first financial milestone in Orario, August felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

The only regret was that the time spirit girl, Eina, had already finished work and was not in the guild.

...

Back at the familia's residence, Twilight Manor, August felt a moment of dizziness.

This morning, he was just an ordinary person, and this afternoon, he had become an adventurer.

"Yo, welcome back, Mom!"

"I've told you so many times, I'm not your mom!"

Thud~

As soon as the words fell, Riveria knocked Loki down with her wand.

"Ouch, it hurts, Mom!"

"I'm not your mom!"

This kind of exchange seemed to happen not once or twice, and Riveria's face of helplessness indicated that she was greatly troubled by it, but there was nothing she could do.

She was already over seventy years old. For humans, that would be a grandmother's age.

But for elves, her life was just beginning.

Being called 'mom' made her feel as if she was being called old, and she was dissatisfied. It was a common problem for any woman.

"Hmm? What are you looking at there, kid!"

"Nothing~"

August quickly turned his head; it was better to keep a low profile in such situations.

"Nothing? You've been out for so long, spent quite some time in the dungeon, come here, let me take a look at your growth!"

"Uh~, right here?"

August looked around at the inquiring faces. Although it was inside the familia, it was still in front of everyone.

"Cough cough~, of course not here. Let's go to your room!"

Loki also realized she was too eager and coughed lightly.

August didn't mind, and followed Loki to the council hall.

"All right, take off your clothes!"

"Okay!"

August took off his upper garment and turned his back to Loki.

Although his body was covered in monster blood, Loki didn't show any signs of disgust or dissatisfaction.

Skillfully picking up a needle, Loki pricked her finger, and began updating the falna for August.

[Augustus Divus Pracentum]

[LV·1 ]

[Strength: I·0-- >G·230 ]

[Endurance: I·0-- >G·280 ]

[Dexterity: I·0-- >G·200 ]

[Agility: I·0-- >G·260 ]

[Magic Power: I·0-- >E·490 ]

[Magic: None ]

[Skill: Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure ]

[Developmental Abilities: None ]

Looking at the updated values, Loki was stunned.

Not only Loki, even Riveria was stunned.

Just by going out for a short trip, visiting the dungeon once, and the growth in ability values was so tremendous. It was terrifying.

Especially the magical power attribute, starting from 0 and directly increasing by 490 points.

To know that when Riveria, as an high elf royaltiy, had excellent magical talent, it took her several days and several trips to the dungeon to increase her magical power attribute by 490 points.

Now, Loki's gaze towards August became even more fervent.

This was a true monster, far surpassing Finn and the others from the past, and even Ais.

"Not bad, kid!"

Loki handed August a copy of his updated attributes.

August was surprised to see the growth in his ability values.

However, as a transmigrator with a system, compared to other 'protagonists' who leveled up in just a day or defeated the floor boss in two days, he was still a rookie.

"It's okay!"

When this was said, both Loki and Riveria were speechless.

There's a limit to being arrogant; are you trying to show off?

"Goddess Loki, your blessings are also done. I'll be heading back now. Covered in blood, I need to wash up properly!"

"Sure, Riveria, why don't you take him to his new place!"

"Huh? Did I move?"

August looked at Loki in confusion.

"The place you lived in before was a guest room. Now that you're also a familia member, you can't continue living there!"

"I see, but it's troubling you again, Lady Riveria!"

"No problem, we're all family!"

Riveria didn't mind. Since he was a familia member, it was only natural for her to take care of new member like him. It was expected.

"All right, hurry back and wash up. There's a banquet tonight. It's a good opportunity to introduce yourself to everyone!"

"I understand!"

After bidding farewell to Loki, August followed Riveria towards his future new home.
