章節 31: Obsession
Reminder: Read the note below.
(I think COVID-19 finally found me, so I can only post this chapter to explain some things.)
---------
(Orario)
It is still early in the morning when the expedition end, and instead of going back to my Familia I visited Hephaestus at her office.
I'm also upset against Goibniu for taking advantage of me, until he hand over what he had promise to me then I go back until then.
• 8 Ligerfang Fur
• 8 Almiraj Fur
• 8 Almiraj Horn
• 8 Hellhound Fang
• Goliath Tooth
• Crystal Mantis Wing
The first 4 items alone need an enormous amount of luck time and luck, he maybe can collect it after grinding for a month, but he needs to monopolies the Goliath for him to obtain the Goliath Tooth.
The time alone require 2 weeks for a respawn and many adventurers would have a grievance towards him for soloing it for that much long.
While the Crystal Mantis Wing is a drop he never heard about, it is a drop from a mantis with a hard body made of crystal. It is rarely found but appears on the 15th floor more often and is attracted to crystals and beautiful minerals.
A hard endeavor, so I can only wish my god a good luck.
'Heh, serve him right'
While sipping a cup of coffee I am staring at Hephaestus the whole time, with a slight tint on her cheek I know she is doing her best to ignore me, I just hope she won't throw me outside or her paper works at me.
I visited her as I heard that there's a gathering for gods later at night, so I thought that she won't be forging today, but I didn't know she would still be occupied.
Using my clones to help her out crossed my mind but knowing her she would only do other things to busy herself.
'Geez what a busy body'
Since I arrive she only excitedly run into my arms and then kissed me, not a single word but brew her a coffee, I even guessed that she only welcome me here just for a cup of caffeine.
But now that I have a free time I could finally think of my present and future development, others may think that I am already OP but what they didn't know is that I can only fight someone who is two level higher than me.
While my clones can provide some help, my mind and soul would still be divided leaving me with few mind pool and every time I dispel them I don't receive the remaining mind/mana they have taken as they're a true copy of me, so I don't think they're useful for now.
Maybe in the future when my mana pool is larger, I can summon them indefinitely because even with the passive Limit Off I can't cast that much spell wantonly.
My true strength lies in my skill and weapon, but it can all be overcome with an overwhelming power, even Tiona can beat me 1v1 as her speed alone will render me helpless, I just caught her in surprise, but I know she can destroy me if I really tried to kill her.
While my weapon has a special ability of:
<True Damage> to deal flat damage regardless of armor and resistance
<Stroke of Luck> possibility of dealing multiple damages based on my luck
But what really matters is my final strength, as for the example with my fight against the Goliath, even with Jinx relentless attack from the start she can only blind and burst its head off in the end.
That's why I'm looking forward to the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella next upgrade, with the help of the last two special materials I can also make a new special ability similar to the last one.
My skill at forging is already close to the peak as I am invoking the help of Divine Blacksmith Ornn, the equivalent of Hephaestus and Goibniu in this world.
Just what the god and goddess of forging declare, I am only next to them without their Arcanum, but I would still require a good material to achieve their feat.
"Would you like to come with me to the party tonight David?"
Hephaestus now finally done with her paper works sit beside me, it's only been a week since I last meet her, however my heart is already itching to see her.
I embrace her tenderly with my head on her lap, I really like her natural scent of ember and wood, with a stroke she gently brushes my long hair, I'm planning to cut it off, but I don't know if Correxion would only grow it back.
"Hmmm I miss you so much Hephaestus, I miss you very much.'
Still hugging her waist while lying on the sofa, she comfort me with slow pat and a sweet smile on her face, she still had her mask as Hephaestus is hiding the fact that it was already healed.
" You know how much I love you right David, but I am starting to think that you're obsessed in me with how much this thing is shining."
Hephaestus reveals her necklace that glows erratically, while my head facing her stomach I murmur something.
"I am the embodiment of obsession, but please don't leave me because of it."
The Tears of the Goddess with me are softly shining perpetually, like her love for mine.
Because of me being a paranoid, I created it with the purpose of expressing our feelings towards each other.
Besides passively restoring and augmenting my mind it also testifies our love to one another with another hidden ability that Hephaestus added with the use of her Arcanum, just enough not to be sent back in the heaven while paying a hefty amount to Ouranus.
"We have already been one, so don't worry as I love you for what you're"
With a pinch she giggled at my reaction, I really hate the idea of losing her, just the thought of it forcefully activated Magen David in the past for the first time.
'I'll kill the world for you'
With a helpless smile, Hephaestus can only hide the necklace back at her clothes as it pulses in a dark light. He didn't have to say anything as she knows what that does that light means.
"Dummy, you still didn't answer me."
"No! I know Goibniu would only flaunt me around, so I am hiding here until the party ends!"
Like a child Hephaestus can barely hear his answer with his head on her stomach, they haven't crossed the line yet as he said that he is still not 18, a confusing thing as mortals are already considered adults at his age.
"Okay, but would you like to go out with me later for a date?"
"Date?! Yes!"
With an abrupt answer, David jumps in excitement, looking forward to their first date.
---------
This is just an extra chapter for those few who are confused about something, I don't feel so good, and maybe I sound stupid in this chapter, i just made this in a rush, so I can rest well and update a new chapter tomorrow.
Our Mc is not an op as even I hate op Mc as the story became bland when he can overcome anything with just brute power.
The main power of our mc is his obsession and the 3 subtle gifts from ROB.
The clones, Myriad Manifestation Umbrella and ???.
As we all known that one can receive power base on their wants and need and David OCD is already a severe obsession and as a testament he already manifested 3 skills becauseof it, and after receiving his clones that obsession only multiplied by 7 so that's why he receive those skills in succession. So you can imagine how obsessed he is.
The danmachi status is not a simple thing like 1+1=2, after a level up the past status would be removed and added as a hidden strength, it was explained in the anime, but it seems some readers skipped that episode.
Anyway, while he reaches the maximum of EX where what can only his body handle at the current level, after a level up his body will also improve, so the EX status would also increase, for example, if he requires 3000 in strength in level 1 then at level 2, he requires a 5000 to level up.
So now that we cleared the EX, I would also add up that he can only fight '1 level' higher enemy with his status and '2 levels higher with his skills and technique', but that would change as he levels up and accumulated more hidden stats.
Tiona can kill him at the lake part but as she felt no malicious intent she didn't fight back or avoid it, if not for his ambush, perfectness of attack and her carelessness she can prevent the strike at point-blank.
He can counter any attack in perfection but the question is could his body can keep up and react to an enemy way faster and stronger than him?
While Ais at the earlier encounter can feel her instinct, it is David's emotion at that time and because of Limit Off the surrounding mana is reacting with him, that's why Ains didn't feel any pressure and still tried to approach him.
Next is his emotion, someone points out how calm he is but no he is not, his actions are perfect like how he interacts with anyone but inside he can feel annoyance for his god, love for Hephaestus, aroused in the lake, and disappointment for Ains, he is not a robot because it is only his outward action that was affected by Correxion. Except for extreme cases like his obsession with Hephaestus that his Magen David forcefully faded his rage, a negative status effect.
Next is Limit Off and Clone, Limit Off is where he uses the surrounding mana to empower his ability while it is very powerful the mana would still go through him before he can cast a skill, it's like an air going through a funnel, while limitless it is still constricted by the funnel and the bottle.
This also applied to Kage Bunshin as he divided his mana to 7 smaller bottles, it has smaller capacity and what air it accumulated would never goes back to the original when the clone dispel itself.
Similar to the real Kage Bunshin except he won't received back the used mind/mana as his clones are real, so he can only wait for it to be refilled, a downside in a high level battle.
If you're confuse you can google it up to understand it well.
And for my short chapters, maybe I would raise my words per chapter from 1k to 2k, I just thought that it is the normal word count like in other novels.
You guys didn't even notice that I update my cover! I draw the Mc myself and create all of it, so where's my head pat!
Had to add something up as there are still few who don't understand the use and restrictions of his Invoker skill.
First of all the summoned hero, character, unit and person would retained his ego, personality and memory but their power is restricted base on the Mc status and power.
It is similar in a moba games like League of Legends, DOTA and etc. Where you can still control the summoned avatar without a problem.
Now I understand when some say that he should summon some master to teach him learn powerful moves. Ill say it again
HE CAN ONLY SUMMON THOSE WHO HE HAVE THE SAME STRENGH.
please wait he is only level two thats why i use LOL character because their power is restrained. If he can summon them then he has the same power level with them.
If he summon sasaki kojirou or guts then it means he dont need them to teach the Mc anything as their experience and everything is already learn by the clone and in extension him, and if he can already summon them just as i said and ill repeat it then the mc has the capabilies and status to match the summoned character power.
Jinx, Lux, Yasou,Xin Zhao and Braum are all human with near human capabilities, if you havent notice 'ThEyArEaLlHuMaN'.
While they are stronger in lore i am basing them on the game as i also repeat their power is restricted on the moba logic.
And for another problem with his appearance, if you cant understand that he is perfected as a being and not as a man then I can no longer help you.
It seems you see a human as the limit of the Mc strength, elf and such has a gender neutral appearance, I am not that near sighted to shackle his future as a human.
Im already tired with people conplaining, go read some alpha wanna be that want to look cool with harvesting females like wheat by degrading their personalities!
I wont change this novel because I only written this an entertainment. Ill even drop this if I want.
If you dont like it then its fine
I dont mind
And
I dont care.
Just saying!

This chapter is just a filler to explain his power, while he might be op, it is not overly powerful at this stage and I still have a plan that would be uncover at the next chapter.
