Adam and Liza: (Filler)
After we finished all of the papers, we decided to move the Athena familia to a better place. All of us gathered our money. Well, by all of us I mean Zach did most of it because his family is a huge merchant trading industry and he stole a lot of valis after running away to become an adventurer. This may prove troublesome in the future but I don't really care right now.
We looked at our nice little home. It had 2 dorms for boys and girls, a kitchen-dining area and a shower room. The house was small but comfy enough to fit all of us.
Athena looked back at us and smiled. She said with a strong punch in the air.
"Let's get to status updating. Are you guys ready?!"
"" Yes""
I went first and laid down on the bed shirtless. Athena hoped on my back and imprinted a sheet with the symbol of a metal helmet and tree. The symbol imprinted on my back as she used her blood to find out my stats. When she looked at those abnormal numbers, she screamed so loud that my ears almost burst.
"WHAT THE HE-"
*We are cutting this episode due to certain laws and an important question. What ship do you think is best in Danmachi?*
After I calmed down and explained some half-truths to my goddess. She sighed and said to me.
"Well Here is your new sheet for your second level up"
I took it and thought it would be the same as the system. Some things were the same but others weren't.
Name: Adam Cranel
Level-2
Strength-I 0
Endurance- I 0
Dexterity- I 0
Agility-I 0
Magic-I 0
[Saint Angel]
[Thunder Legendary Swordmaster: A]
[Athens' Tree-Group]
Unbridled Spirit doesn't show up or even Saber Persona. It seems that it is only possible to see the outline of the skill but the exact uses depend on the user. The most interesting thing is the group skill. Athens' Tree. It seemed to take powerful attacks from all of the members and combine them into a single attack with the image of a tree.
I sighed as I called Zach to get his level up. An interesting thing is that all of us were at the level up point and the strength of my comrades. We have Zach, The Rupture Magician, a person capable of casting magic that focuses on destroying the inner structure of a being or creating destructive AOE affects. (a simple human) Maria, our pyromancer Half-Ifrit. She is a very capable caster of Fire Magic to the point she can summon fire elementals while controlling 2 firebolts because of her special race skill [Fire Speaker] which allows her to control and create multiple fire spells. Next is our big boy Delius, A Giant Kin. He stands at a tall 1.75 m and he is only 12 years of age. He uses a giant ax and he can take some damage while also dishing out more damage to his enemies because of his racial skill [Giant Fortress] which raises his defense and strength(not endurance) but...it practically makes him immobile. Then there is our rogue Miranda, a typical human with strange magic of shadows and darkness. She is one of the more scary fellows in our group because she threatened us, the boys that if we dare to peek, she will drive a billion needles through every orifice possible.
I went out together with Liza after my level-up. Well, I mean, I was dragged by a hyperactive girl who would stop at every stand and look at the small jewels. I was honestly confused why we were spending so much time outside and we didn't enter a dinner or started eating near a food stand.
As we passed our 20th stop of the day, we sat upon a hill and looked on at the sunset with simple smiles. Liza looked at me and said.
"Hey, Adam. Do you-l-l like me?"
"Of course. I like you-"
"REALLY?! OH MY LORD, I CAN ALREADY IMAGINE OUR-"
"-as a sister"
Something cracked inside Liza as she fell onto the grass with a depressed expression, I struggled to understand why she was doing this and asked her.
"Is everything okay, Liza? You seem down"
"It's just that I like you Adam as husband material"
"Husband?! Why would you like some like me? I am the epitome of mediocrity!"
"Says the guy who beat all the newbies without the use of falna."
"That doesn't count. Love is not something that could be related to strength. Love is a pure and eternal force while strength is an uncontrollable force that may mean someone's collapse or rise. Also-"
"Stop. I don't like you because of your strength. I just like you because, despite your mediocrity in looks, you did everything in your power to obtain the ability to summon me, a random angelic girl with simple abilities. It felt rewarding that I mattered to someone. Someone who got rejected by practically everyone, someone who was forgotten by all and he didn't go take revenge despite the power he obtained. That person put his trust in a random girl"
I smiled, remembering some painful past memories before I met that all old pervert. I put Liza's head on my lap and caressed her hair with increased care.
"It may sound cliché or even typical for most of the protagonist in old stories but...we should be forgiving and forget the stupid acts our brethren had done because we will go crazy if we focus on it. Plus, I would be hunted by the authorities if I killed anyone who wronged me"
Liza looked at me with an arched eyebrow and said.
"You are stupid. Do you know that? Most stupid people say that but they eventually suffer"
"I am the most stupid person but Life is more interesting if you suffer hardships."
Liza looked at me as I caressed her hair.
"When will you accept me?"
"You are going to be the only one but you will know when you are ready"
Both of us came back to the house in the evening and found out that everyone had leveled up. We started planning for the next day of raiding the dungeon. We discussed positions and methods we can combine our abilities. This all lasted till midnight when I went to sleep in my small bed.
I was prepared to go the dungeon and fight with my newly gained power
