In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　[The dungeon quest is complete. Please return within 24 hours. Time remaining...]

　Without hesitation, Roy immediately clicked "back". After defeating Goto, the special forces soldiers around him and Ryu looked at him and Ryu with obvious strange eyes.

　They probably received some orders.

　For a level 4 adventurer to clash with the machinery of a modern state is extremely difficult, and Roy dared not hesitate, fearing that several helicopters might suddenly appear.

　Before everyone's eyes, Roy and Ryu vanished, leaving behind a bewildered crowd.

　Return to the Court of Stars.

　As expected, Ryu went to take a bath, but the elf's fastidiousness couldn't stand it, and she washed off the bloodstains on her body.

　Roy began to tally up the loot from this dungeon run.

　[Teammate Ryu Leon has killed twenty-one parasitic creatures. Congratulations on gaining 2650 attribute points. The kill count has reached twenty, and you have received an additional Silver Treasure Chest as a reward.]

　With the 1200 attribute points gained from hunting Goto, a total of 3850 attribute points were obtained!

　Name: Roy

　Rating: 1

　Strength: 780 → 1685 (SSS)

　Endurance: 998→1622 (SSS)

　Dexterity: 1120 → 1433 (SSS)

　Agility: 1330 → 1452 (SSS)

　Magic Power: 0 → 1698 (SSS)

　Skills: My Lord is Here, Blood for Blood

　Magic: None

　……

　Roy tapped away on the panel, spending attribute points like water, adding them to his ability stats.

　A total of 3662 attribute points were spent.

　Roy had 188 attribute points left, and then he found that he couldn't add any more. That is to say, the ability panel displayed "Cannot add any more points!"

　Roy seemed to understand something.

　The system's ability boosts are not unlimited; it only helps the user reach their own limits.

　In other words, if he were willing to spend a lot of time taking risks, he could have grown to this level; the system's skill points simply shortened that time considerably.

　"All SSS-level, looks like my aptitude is pretty good." Roy looked at this impressive stat total, and realized he wasn't an ordinary person after all.

　Even the world-renowned swordswoman Ais Wallenstein couldn't break through to SS rank and was stuck at S rank.

　Since he couldn't add points to his stats indefinitely, Roy felt no pressure about leveling up.

　[Great achievement accomplished, upgrade now?]

　Instead of clicking "upgrade," Roy found the goddess Astraea to give her a sense of involvement.

　When Roy asked for help with the upgrade, he first saw disbelief on the goddess Astraea's perfectly beautiful face, followed by gratitude, and even a touch of emotion that almost brought tears to his eyes.

　This left Roy completely bewildered and suspicious.

　Is she a useless goddess?

　Thankfully, Astraea's hair wasn't blue, otherwise Roy would have been really scared.

　Goddess Astraea put down her cooking utensils and happily pulled Roy back to the room.

　Her soft, boneless little hands had a delicate, silky feel, like a piece of warm jade, which made Roy's mind wander.

　If Ryu is like a raw, unripe kiwi, then the goddess Astraea is like a ripe peach, with a full and graceful figure, full of allure, and with an added touch of intellectual maturity. She has lost some of her charm but gained more elegance and poise.

　At this moment, the goddess Astraea was very excited, like a child who had found a new toy.

　Roy prayed silently, hoping the other party would be reliable; if all else failed, he would do it himself.

　Start upgrading.

　The goddess Astraea pierced her finger with a silver needle, and divine blood dripped onto Roy's exposed back, causing the power value formed by divine runes to begin to emerge.

　As expected, the goddess Astrea was taken aback by the full SSS-level stats panel.

　Astraea gazed at Roy's handsome profile, her luscious red lips slightly parted, but after a long while, she uttered not a sound.

　The upgrade process continues, and the sacred text changes.

　Roy was also looking at his own stats. The full SSS-level deluxe panel gradually faded away, and a new stat panel appeared, all of which were 0 (I). The difference was that his level had become LV.2!

　The LV.1 panel didn't disappear; rather, it was hidden within him, increasing his power.

　Numerically speaking, he currently appears to be only 0 (I), but in reality, he would be no match for someone with a LV.2 stat total of 500 or 600!

　"You can choose between abnormal resistance, hunter, or adventure for your development ability. Which one do you want?" Goddess Astraea's gentle voice rang in Roy's ear as she carefully explained the characteristics of the three development abilities to him.

　[Congratulations on reaching LV.2! Your available development abilities are Abnormal Resistance, Hunter, and Adventure!]

　In fact, Roy also saw the new notification panel.

　Development abilities are additional skills that can be learned after leveling up. They are usually acquired as a side profession. For example, a blacksmith would choose "Forging" to increase his ability to craft weapons or armor, and an apothecary would choose "Blending" to help him better concoct potions.

　Skill awakening depends on the adventurer's will, while ability development depends on recent experiences.

　Abnormal resistance: You can obtain this when you level up after encountering poisonous creatures recently. It helps you resist abnormal statuses such as poisoning. In dungeons, there are mushrooms with red umbrellas and white stems. While others will be crippled after eating them, you'll only feel dizzy for a moment.

　Hunters are those who have recently killed a large number of monsters and can be obtained when leveling up. When dealing with monsters they have previously killed, their own stats will be increased. This is a rare ability that is highly sought after by gods and adventurers.

　The Goddess Astraea hadn't seen this development ability much before. Based on her speculation, it was probably something that people who enjoyed adventure and actively went to dangerous places would acquire when leveling up.

　Note that this refers to people who seek thrills purely for the sake of excitement, without any ulterior motives. The full name for this ability to develop is "adventure-seeking".

　This doesn't include ordinary adventurers who enter dungeons for money or fame.

　As for the specific effects, she didn't know.

　Don't assume that gods are omniscient.

　"Ability value" is just a trigger; it can uncover potential that a person might never have the chance to discover in their entire life and concretize it into specific abilities.

　Through various processes accumulated along the way, it has transformed and evolved, just like a seed buried in the soil that will bloom into different flowers depending on the environment.

　This is the only aspect of the mysterious world that even the gods cannot fathom, which is why the gods' eyes light up when they hear of rare skills appearing.

　The "adventure" before them was undoubtedly a skill even rarer than that of a hunter, enough to drive the gods mad with excitement.

　Goddess Astraea was unaware of the specific effects of "Adventure," but Roy could see them through the panel.

　[Adventure: Fortune smiles upon the brave, inviting them to venture into perilous lands, where their stats, recovery abilities, and luck are greatly enhanced!]

　Roy declared firmly, "Goddess Astraea, I want the ability to 'adventure'!"

　Upon hearing this, Goddess Astraea looked at her with a mixture of reproach and helplessness. It seemed that she understood the nature of her familiar by observing such developmental abilities.

Chapter 46 Roy's Magic

　adventure!

　Roy was not at all surprised that he had acquired this special developmental ability.

　Having lived in a safe and stable country in his previous life, he deeply yearned for heroic adventures, a kind of alternative version of "longing for it".

　Name: Roy

　Rating: 2

　Strength: 0 (I)

　Endurance: 0 (I)

　Dexterity: 0 (I)

　Agility: 0 (I)

　Magic: 0 (I)

　Development Ability: Adventure (I)

　Skills: My Lord is Here, Blood for Blood

　Magic: None

　……

　"Upgrade and select development abilities, complete." Goddess Astraea casually locked Roy's ability values, and the sacred text on his back disappeared.

　The gods almost never refuse requests from their relatives. For example, they will offer different opinions to parents who want their children to be independent, allowing the other party to make their own choice.

　Watching children in the mortal realm experience wonderful lives is one of the joys of most gods.

　Roy saw his new ability panel, the words "LV.2" shining brightly in gold, clenched his fists, and his face flushed red. "Power is surging forth..."

　"Pfft!"

　Seeing this, Goddess Astraea laughed and revealed a gentle, maternal smile. "Don't play for too long, I'll go out and prepare dinner first."

　Roy smiled. Upgrading to LV.2 didn't bring the explosive power he had imagined. It was just average. Improving ability values ​​and leveling up don't instantly increase strength; it takes time for the body to adapt.

　Gazing at that stunningly beautiful figure, Roy felt a sense of disorientation. The allure of a goddess was indeed terrifying, even if she wasn't a goddess of beauty like Freya.

　Once the feeling of a heart attack subsided, Roy turned his attention to something else.

　The silver treasure chest obtained!

　Roy clicked "Open Treasure Chest" on the panel.

　[The Silver Treasure Chest has been opened. Congratulations on obtaining three bottles of Panacea (Advanced), a Strength Enhancement Potion (Advanced), a Magic Tome, and Steel Gauntlets (Epic).]

　Name: Strength Enhancement Potion

　Quality: High

　Effect: After drinking, it increases your strength attribute by 30%, and the effect lasts for ten minutes.

　……

　Name: Magic Book

　Quality: Uncertain

　Effect: This work can only be written by someone who has developed the rare abilities of "magic" and "mysticism" to their limit. Reading it can forcibly awaken magic!

　……

　Name: Steel Armguards

　Quality: Epic

　Attribute: Can withstand all attacks from adventurers and monsters with all stats below D-rank and LV.4, but its defensive capabilities decrease as its durability decreases.

　Special Effect (Guardian): Triggers a magic shield, providing all-around protection. Each activation reduces durability by 10%.

　Durability: 99%

　……

　Roy's eyes lit up. Needless to say, the Panacea cost 500,000 Fali each if purchased from the Dean Clan!

　Power potion, steel arm guards, and most importantly, a magic book that can forcibly awaken magic!

　Roy's gaze seemed to be drawn in.

　magic!

　The power that causes supernatural phenomena is immense and is often used as a trump card by adventurers.

　Roy had seen Ryu's Wind of Light several times; once unleashed, it almost instantly killed the opponent.

　Magic is also divided into innate magic and acquired magic inspired by divine grace.

　Innate magic involves racial lineage and personal potential. Magical races can only learn it through their own potential and cultivation, such as elves and fairies.

　Acquired magic relates to one's interest in and identification with things, and is inspired by divine grace.

　By God's grace, each person can possess a maximum of three spells, but the awakening of magic is a rare and precious thing, and most people never learn magic in their lifetime.
