I'll Have to Go by Myself

"From now on, you'll come to the Book Repository with Lefia every noon to study. You can get the trunk of the Great Holy Tree from my room later!"

Seeing that William had agreed, a slight smile appeared on Riveria's usually aloof face.

Even if William didn't acknowledge her as his master, she was still prepared to personally teach William magic.

Having lived in the Loki Familia for decades, she had long considered it her second home, and the companions who joined the Familia were naturally her family.

The new family member has the potential to become the strongest Mage in the history of the world, so of course she will carefully guide him to prevent him from going astray.

"By the way, kid."

"From now on, don't use 'Mr.' or 'Miss' when addressing your Familia members. Do you always add those two words to your conversations with your family?"

Gareth spoke earnestly to William, saying that he had felt the boy was being far too polite since yesterday. While this attitude was certainly good for outsiders, it would create a sense of distance when dealing with fellow members of the Familia.

Upon hearing Gareth's words, William's pupils dilated slightly, and he gradually fell into deep thought.

It seems I underestimated the significance of the Familia members within Loki Familia. I originally thought they were just comrades-in-arms, but it turns out they truly consider their companions family.

"I understand, sir!"

"You little rascal!"

Gareth laughed and cursed when she heard William's new way of addressing her.

"Where is Loki, Master Riveria?"

"I need to talk to her about something!"

"You're looking for Loki because you want to upgrade your abilities, aren't you!"

Riveria immediately guessed what William was up to; in the eyes of the group members, their family's main god only had the function of updating ability values.

Or are you going to find that alcoholic to drink with? Don't be ridiculous.

"Yes! It's my first time coming out of the Dungeon, and I want to see how fast I'm growing."

"She's in the shrine; you can just go there."

After Riveria told William Loki's location, William took his leave and went to see Loki.

His current lack of magic power was making him quite uncomfortable. He needed to calculate, based on today's specific increase in magic power, what level he needed to reach to restore his original magic power level.

"Hopefully, Loki will still be lucid when he goes to Loki's chambers."

For some reason, Gareth's attitude turned hostile when she talked about Loki drinking.

"How come Loki still has wine? Didn't she drink the last of her stock yesterday?"

Riveria frowned. She was basically in charge of Loki's alcohol expenses, so she knew exactly how much alcohol Loki had.

After the Familia's party ended last night, Loki insisted that he hadn't had enough to drink. He said he had found a new treasure and was determined to drink until he was completely drunk, and he had already finished the last bottle of Soma Sake in his wine cabinet.

"Yeah! Her liquor cabinet was indeed empty, but when I woke up today, I found my own liquor cabinet was empty too."

Gareth was furious when he thought about it. After returning to his room from morning training, he wanted to have a bottle of wine to relax, only to find that all the wine in his liquor cabinet had disappeared.

The prisoner didn't even need to think about it; among the Familia, only he and Loki were fond of drinking, so if his wine was gone, it must have been with Loki.

P. S.: Chapter 10 is more than owed, and it even seems like there's an extra chapter? Next, I'll write the side story, then continue accumulating chapters, and have a big update during the Spring Festival.

Pushing open the door, the same strong smell of alcohol hit him as yesterday, but after yesterday's ordeal, he was now somewhat used to it.

"Yo! Here to update your stats?"

The room is even messier today than yesterday. At least yesterday, all the wine bottles were piled up in the corner.

However, the level of filth and mess in today's room far exceeded that of a normal human room. At this moment, Loki was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding an open bottle of liquor in one hand and greeting William as he entered with the other.

William managed to find a path leading to Loki amidst the rubbish and books scattered on the ground.

"Sit down quickly, we're very curious about how much you'll grow."

Since there was nowhere to put a stool, William had no choice but to sit on the only relatively clean bed in the room.

"Let's begin!"

A drunken Loki pulled a silver needle from the clutter on the ground, pricked his middle finger, squeezed out a drop of bright red blood, and then pressed his Divine Blood onto William's back.

Loki clicked his tongue inwardly, updated the ability values on William's back to the common language of the lower realm, copied them down, and handed them to William.

William took it and began to examine it.

William Spengler

Level: lv1

Strength: I(0) - G(207)

Durability: I(0)-G(275)

Dexterity: I(0)-D(504)

Agility: I(0)-D(566)

Magic: I(3)-B (750)

"Even if new adventurers level up much faster in the early stages, this is truly the first time I've seen such ridiculous growth."

William's numbers almost sobered her up completely.

"What floor did you reach today? How did you gain so many ability points?"

"Having reached the tenth floor with Lefia, I want to continue downwards."

William looked at his numbers and also estimated his current magical power.

Based on the current numerical calculations, he should be able to regain his previous magical power once he levels up to level 3.

"No wonder. You're a newbie and you were able to go to such a deep level to level up on your very first day. Plus, with your 'Mana Adaptive Growth' skill, it's not surprising that you've grown to this level."
