บท 10: [10] Super Rare!
"What's wrong, Hestia?" Whether it was skill or magic, as a half-demon, there was no doubt that Aiden possessed magical potential. However, his Sparda bloodline hadn't awakened yet, nor had his demon arm, and the Spardas were known for their prowess with swords and combat. So, it couldn't be magic, it must be a skill.
"But I haven't trained either. What kind of skill could it be?" Aiden anticipated eagerly.
"Aiden, are you truly just an ordinary person?" Hestia's excitement bubbled over as she leaned back, handing Aiden the paper recording his abilities.
At those words, Aiden's heart skipped a beat. After all, he had a quarter of Sparda blood and had just experienced the transformation of Sparda power. Although Hestia didn't show it, had she noticed?
Before Aiden could respond, Hestia cheerfully handed him the paper, saying, "Aiden, look! You already have a skill at Level 1, and three magic slots. Could it be that you're a genius?"
Before giving Aiden the paper, Hestia had already converted the divine words into the language used by residents of the lower world. Although she didn't convert them, Aiden, gifted with the talent to understand multiple languages from the system, could still read them.
"Don't praise me too much, Hestia. I might get conceited." Aiden took the paper from Hestia, pondering if he was truly a genius. He recalled the performance of Nero from the Devil May Cry series. He rolled over, sitting up in bed without needing assistance, examining the paper that recorded his ability values:
[Aiden
Lv.1
Strength : I(0)
Endurance : I(0)
Dexterity : I(0)
Agility : I(0)
Magic : I(0)
Skill:
Inborn Divine Strength: A permanent skill. With divine strength, you naturally possess strength that surpasses others of the same level, along with corresponding physical qualities. The stronger your body, the stronger your strength.
Magic:

The five basic abilities are represented by letters, divided into I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A, S, 10 levels in total, ranging from the lowest level of I to the highest level of S. The numerical range for each dimension is 0 to 999.
The number following each letter represents proficiency. The higher the number, the higher the proficiency, directly reflecting combat and training results. The higher the value in a certain aspect, the higher the corresponding ability. For a Lv1 adventurer, if their strength reaches S-level (999), it means their strength has reached the pinnacle of the same level, and their proficiency is also at the highest. Proficiency needs to be reset to zero after leveling up, and proficiency in basic abilities can increase again only after leveling up.
The so-called leveling up... when an adventurer achieves enough accomplishments, they can level up. After each level up, all basic abilities are reset to zero, and new skills can be acquired. After leveling up, although basic abilities are reset to zero, the abilities from the previous level are retained as hidden abilities. Although they are not visible on the surface, they do exist, and after leveling up, an adventurer's potential will be enhanced. So, although the displayed basic abilities after leveling up are 0, the actual abilities are stronger than before.
Initial ability values are always at the lowest level of I, and Aiden knew this much.
Ability values need to be strengthened through continuous battles or training. So, no matter how strong the abilities were before receiving the blessing, whether it was Dante who inherited the excellent skills of the Sparda family in Devil May Cry 5, or Vergil who evolved into a true demon after eating the fruit of the Qliphoth, or Saitama, who can easily destroy planets with a single punch, all their ability values will be I(0) after receiving the blessing.
If the manifested ability values are not I(0) now, it would be a huge loss, meaning that one would be missing a whole level of strength compared to a normal level up.
Each level of basic ability has its limit. Once the value reaches S-level (999), it's almost impossible to increase further. Starting from zero to gain strength obviously results in stronger abilities than starting from 900.
But as Aiden looked at the data in his hand, he couldn't help but ponder this world's ability system, which he only partially understood: "Huh, so there's also a magic value. Seems like it's the Sparda bloodline, stimulated by the divine blood, kicking in."
Hmm, three magic slots, what a pleasant surprise. But damn, what in the world is Inborn Divine Strength?
"I'm just born with divine strength?"
Could it be said that Nero, the template for the greatest miracles of the Sparda family, has such a straightforward and wild fighting style, wielding the Red Queen with sparks flying and lightning crackling, even the execution animations are filled with a violent aesthetic. No wonder he already possessed quite strong power before the Sparda bloodline awakened.
Still, having a skill is always good, especially one as powerful as this. Otherwise, going alone to the dungeon to fight monsters, like himself, would be quite dangerous.
"Hey, Hestia, among the five basic attributes in the ability section... Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, and Magic. I understand Strength, Endurance, Agility, and Magic, but what does Dexterity represent? And why are you so happy? Is it because of the skill?"
"Hmph~" Hestia crossed her arms, and the collision between the two plates of the Northern Hemisphere became even more noticeable. She responded proudly, "The basic abilities are divided into five categories: Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, and Magic. You know that, right, Aiden-kun?"
"Mm-hmm." Aiden nodded like an elementary school student.
"In fact, Dexterity represents the coordination of the body and the degree of control over strength."
"I see." Aiden nodded again like a schoolboy.
Pausing for a moment, Hestia put on her gloves, placed her right hand on the Northern Hemisphere, and said proudly, "As for why I'm happy, isn't it obvious? It's a skill! Although there's no limit to the number of skills one can have, everyone has at least one. But getting a skill as soon as possible is naturally better. Aiden, you've just received the blessing and already have a skill, and it's an extremely powerful one at that.
"The skill, Inborn Divine Strength, is a permanent skill. With divine strength, you naturally possess strength that surpasses others of the same level, along with corresponding physical qualities. The stronger your body, the stronger your strength. The inspiration for skills comes not only from experience but also from one's essence or interests. So, Aiden, were you always this strong?"
"Well, my strength seems to be quite formidable. Someone who could be considered my uncle once mentioned that my brute strength was impressive." Aiden recalled Nero's performances in Devil May Cry 4 and 5, as well as Dante's evaluation of Nero in Devil May Cry 4. Yes, Aiden's essence was indeed about pulling off miracles with sheer strength.
"Of course, what's even more exciting is that you have three magic slots."
"What's so special about that?" Seeing Hestia's eyes shining as if they were bulinhbuling, her white, tender legs swinging back and forth on the edge of the bed without wearing flip-flops, her happy and cute appearance resembling that of a child, Aiden asked puzzledly.
"Aiden-kun, do you know what magic is?" Hestia didn't immediately explain but instead posed a question upon noticing Aiden's confusion.
"Magic? A supernatural power? It's the ability to manipulate natural phenomena like storms, thunder, lightning, ice, fire, etc., and enhance oneself or heal others." Aiden recalls various novels and animations involving magic.
"Aiden-kun, you do have some understanding. Magic is a power that can cause supernatural phenomena. Before the gods descended to the lower world, only the spirits, elves, and the kitsune could use magic, which is known as Innate Magic. Humans, dwarves, Amazons, and others cannot learn or use magic."
"Over a thousand years ago, when the gods began to descend from the heavenly realm, they brought their blessing, which can unlock the potential within people's bodies and allow all races to learn magic. The magic inspired by the blessing is known as Acquired Magic."
"Under the blessing of the gods, each person has a fixed number of magic slots, at least one and up to three."
Pausing for a moment, Hestia continued, "You see, many people can only have one magic in their lifetime. Having two magic slots means being able to use two types of magic, which is something every clan would compete for."
"So, Aiden-kun, you're not just a genius, you're a rare super genius. Not being an elf or kitsune, yet having three magic slots means you can have three types of magic~" With that, Hestia made a fist with her right hand and gestured a cheering motion, making the Northern Hemisphere very nice. With her movements, the tectonic plates continued to shift.
Watching Hestia, who was both cute and sexy, Aiden felt his face warming up. However, it wasn't very noticeable in the yellow candlelight. He quickly lowered his head, pretending to examine the data, hiding his awkwardness. But inside, he was in turmoil.
"Oh no, she's too cute and sexy. I'm totally worthless in front of her. What should I do about this criminal goddess at home?"
