Over the course of the month, Kevin had learned much from Velgrynd.
This world is filled with diverse species like vampires, dwarves, elves, humans, and beastmen.
This revelation intrigued Kevin, especially when he realized that characters like Luminas and pupil of divine ancestor had already come into existence.
Velgrynd explained how magicules, the building blocks of magic in this world, possessed a dual nature and even a small amount of will.
And There were four main types of magic in this world. Kevin eagerly soaked up all the information she provided.
One afternoon, during one of their frequent training sessions, Velgrynd was teaching Kevin how to convert magicules into aura. As Kevin concentrated, he felt a warm, invisible layer forming around him.
The ground and spcae trembled as his aura flared, far stronger than velgrynd had anticipated.
Velgrynd's eyes widened in surprise. "Such intensity... and he's not even trying." She couldn't help but be impressed. "Are you sure you're human?" she asked, tilting her head in curiosity.
Kevin shrugged, a playful smile on his face. "Didn't I tell you before? I'm part human."
The other part, well, that's a secret for now." He playfully said enjoying the way Velgrynd's expression shifted from curiosity to slight annoyance.
Velgrynd snapped, launching a punch at him. Kevin easily blocked it by shifting the angel of her punch.
Their mock battles had become a routine, with Velgrynd always eager to test her new combat skills against Kevin.
Yet, despite her power, Kevin always seemed to have the upper hand. He dodged her kicks, parried her punches, and kept his grin throughout, which only served to irritate her further.
Their mock battles were always intense destroying their surroundings, Velgrynd mostly improving herself through these sparring sessions.
In one swift move, Kevin grabbed Velgrynd's leg, putting her in a hold. His arms wrapped around her body as he whispered into her ear, "Do you concede?"
Velgrynd's face turned bright red, and she nodded, feeling a mix of embarrassment and something else she couldn't quite identify.
Later that night, as they prepared for sleep, Velgrynd didn't transformed into her dragon form.
"Why not sleep in your dragon form?" Kevin feigning innocence. "How will I be comfortable otherwise?"
Velgrynd, trying to hide her embarrassment, pointed to her chest. "You could always sleep in my arms... or on my chest." She immediately regretted the words as Kevin's eyes widened slightly.
Don't mind if I do!" Kevin said and took her arm and made himself comfortable in her embrace. Velgrynd's face turned scarlet as she felt his warmth against her.
Her heart fluttered in a way she wasn't accustomed to, and she realized just how much she had grown to care for him.
From this day they started sleeping like couples with Velgrynd holding Kevin close.
She couldn't deny the feelings that had started to bloom in her heart. The once-mighty True Dragon, feared by many, now found herself longing for the presence of this strange person.
Morning had come, and Kevin decided to take a bath in the nearby lake.
The cool, clear water seemed to shimmer under the early light, inviting him to refresh himself. As he waded in, Velgrynd, who had accompanied him, chose to remain at the water's edge.
She watched Kevin with a bemused expression, her arms crossed as she sat on a smooth rock.
"You don't like baths?" Kevin asked, glancing over at her as he submerged himself into the water.
Velgrynd shook her head. "I'm the Incarnation of Fire and Acceleration. Water isn't exactly my element of choice." There was a slight hint of pride in her voice as she added, "Besides, I don't need it."
Kevin chuckled, "Fair enough. But you're missing out, you know? A good bath can work wonders." He leaned back, closing his eyes as he relaxed into the water. As he did, he called upon the system, curious about the state of his soul injuries.
"System," he began, "what's the status of my soul injuries?"
The system responded immediately, its voice calm and matter-of-fact. "The damage from Yin-Yang energy is still present, Host. You can only use your new inheritance and the authority of Origin for now."
Kevin opened one eye, pondering this. "Well, for this world, my origin and new inheritance should be enough." He mused.
"Host, your stats have been updated according to this world's parameters," the system informed him.
Kevin's curiosity piqued. "Show me my status," he ordered.
The system complied, displaying his updated status.

"Damn, these are so OP!" Kevin muttered to himself, his eyes widening in amazement as he scanned through his skills and resistances. "And Ultimate Skill Nodens? That's insane."
Then, something caught his eye. "Wait, I have three cores?" he asked the system, puzzled.
"That's the extra reward for facing the Outer Gods," the system replied. "Granted by the system creator."
Kevin sighed, a slight frown creasing his brow. "The creator, huh? I have a few questions I'd like to ask them..." He let the thought linger for a moment before shaking his head. There was no use dwelling on it now.
"What's the sub-skill of 'Infinity'?" Kevin asked, intrigued.
**"Unique Skill 'Infinity' includes the following sub-skills:
• Amplifier: Increases acceleration and momentum to infinity.
Compression: The ability to compress anything."**
Kevin smirked. "It's more like an Ultimate Skill than a Unique one," he thought aloud.
"And what about my Ultimate Skill? What does Abyss God Nodens include?"
The system provided the details:
"Ultimate Skill Abyss God Nodens contains the following sub-skills:

Kevin couldn't help but laugh. "Does this mean I can copy all Ultimate Skills and store them in the system?!" He started giggling evilly, imagining the endless possibilities.
Later that afternoon, Kevin decided to test out his newly acquired skills. He used the All Creation ability to summon various dishes- pizza, dosa, and macaroni.
The mouth-watering aroma soon filled the air, and it wasn't long before Velgrynd, who had been resting nearby, caught the scent. Her eyes glued on food.
Kevin looked at her, noticing her reaction. "Velgrynd-chan, if you want to taste, just go ahead. We're practically a couple now, right"
Velgrynd's mouth dropped open in shock as Kevin nonchalantly confessed. "What?!" she screamed, her voice causing the cave to tremble slightly as she instinctively unleashed a burst of power. Kevin quickly covered his ears, laughing at her reaction.
"I said, aren't we a couple? We sleep together, I've touched your intimate places and you even peeked at me during my bath," Kevin teased, his tone full of playful mischief.
Velgrynd's face turned a bright shade of red. "Stop saying it like that!" she demanded, though she didn't deny his claim.
Velgrynd then took a bite of the food, and her eyes widened in surprise. "What's this? It's so good!" she exclaimed, her mouth full as she continued eating.
Since Kevin didn't need food for sustenance and seeing velgrynd happily munching on food ,he took only a few bites before offering the rest to Velgrynd, knowing this was her first time tasting such dishes. Velgrynd, realizing she had finished everything, looked at Kevin with an apologetic expression.
Kevin chuckled softly. "Don't worry, I can always conjure more food." He gently cleaned her face, a soft smile on his lips.
Velgrynd found herself enjoying this new feeling of being cared for. It was a sensation she hadn't experienced in a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a warmth spreading through her chest.
That night, Velgrynd happily slept beside Kevin, a contented smile on her face.
