บท 33: Status Update!

Loki grabbed a quill pen and started translating the hieroglyphs on Sirius's back into readable language.

While translating, she also read the data on the status panel.

Although she was very surprised to see his progress, she didn't show any obvious expression on her face due to prior expectations.

…

In this world where gods and people coexist, there is an abstract concept called 'vessel/container' in a mortal body.

Those with a falna can gather excelia to raise their status and grow stronger.

An adventurer can fill the 'vessel' inside them with excelia gained through battle and training.

There are two types of excelia. The regular type is used by Gods to improve upon their followers' status other than level. Examples of this are unlocking certain development abilities that can be chosen to be obtained when leveling up or to raise an adventurer's basic abilities.

The second type is called 'high-quality excelia'. Gods use it to level up their followers after enough has been accumulated.

High-quality excelia is gained by accomplishing things that even the Gods would be impressed with, such as defeating stronger opponents.

After an adventurer levels up, their strength increases greatly in all directions.

According to common sense, the level gap is a nigh insuperable barrier. A lower-level adventurer may stand no chance against a higher-level one excluding some special circumstances.

But there is one more thing to mention.

The excelia-carrying limit of a mortal container is not the same for everyone. It differs from person to person based on their innate talent.

Also, not everyone has the chance to raise their basic stats above S-rank because of a lack of time and aptitude.

Four of Sirius's basic stats are at rank G, whereas the magic stat is impressively at rank E.

This should be the effect of his Skill that increases his mental capacity.

After all, magic and mental energy are somewhat related to each other.

Sirius received his status parchment and looked at it in satisfaction.

After all, more than 1300 points of increase in basic stats are very impressive for newcomers.

His progress speed is many times faster than most newcomers.

If we compare the rate of improvement of a newbie adventurer to a car, then Sirius's one should be a rocket.

"If you keep growing up at this pace, maybe you will be able to fill up your basic stats to the limit. I guess Ais's record of leveling up in a year is about to be broken." Loki could already imagine such a thing happening.

"And, there's an additional development ability in the options. It's called 'Quick Casting' huh?" Loki remembered something and reminded him.

After every level-up, Sirius has two options to choose development abilities: a standard one and a special one.

Standard ones are the development abilities found in this world.

Whereas special development abilities are something unique to him.

"It's useless for now!" Sirius didn't pay much attention to them. For development ability, he first needs to level up after all.

Loki chuckled and messed up his hair after hearing this.

"Stop that! And, this is my first day in the dungeon. I'm afraid my rate of progress will slow down significantly in the future." Sirius gave his opinion after thinking for a while.

"Stop pretending, kiddo! I'm sure you are bursting with excitement inside your heart. After all, you have become stronger than before…." Loki didn't believe his words and teased him. With such skills, she believed he would surpass everyone in the future.

Sirius was starting to get numb to her harassment and ignored her words. He didn't want to be arrogant after all.

"And don't forget to destroy that parchment after you are done!" After some time, Loki reminded him.

Sirius's status was meant to be a secret for the time being, after all.

Sirius was ready to leave this place and nodded in agreement.

"Alright!" After saying this, Sirius tore the parchment into multiple smaller pieces and left the messy room.

He wanted to quickly get away from here.

After returning to his room, he changed into his night outfit and lay on the bed.

After all, he wants to recharge his energy for an adventure tomorrow.

…

Twilight Manor,

Early in the morning,

Sirius was awakened by the noises coming from the outside. It was too loud, making him unable to sleep.

His room is on the middle floor next to the family's second echelon of the familia, such as Ais and Lefiya.

Because of his talent and potential, Finn arranged his room closer to them, hoping to establish a good relationship. The pallum captain is pretty considerate.

At the moment, all the expedition team members were gathered in the courtyard. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone talked about the upcoming expedition.

As the familia's goddess, Loki stood next to the captain, who was busy giving a pre-expedition speech.

Almost everyone on the expedition team was present, and some were preparing for the expedition.

This kind of scene was nothing unusual in Loki Familia. A similar scene happens almost every month in the manor.

Powerful familia are obliged by the guild to raid the dungeon every once in a while. After all, the city's safety depends on the containment of the monsters inside the dungeon.

'When the expedition starts, there won't be many powerful seniors aboveground. I guess the manor will be a bit deserted afterward.' Sirius thought while quietly watching this scene out of his window.

As a new level 1 adventurer, there is no place for him in this expedition.

Therefore, nobody came to bother him while he was asleep.

He still had his night dress on while peeking out of the window, making him look like a teenager just out of bed.
