Chapter 17: A Day of Adventure

---

Dabi awoke to the sound of laughter and the aroma of breakfast wafting through the air. It was a typical morning at home, but Dabi felt a thrill of excitement knowing he had a new mission from the system.

---

System Notification: New Mission: Assist the Town Guard in clearing out a monster nest in the nearby hills. Reward: 2000 Gold Coins, Experience Points.

---

He quickly joined his siblings, Eli and Mira, at the breakfast table. Fen, the baby Fenrir, was nestled at their feet, happily gnawing on a piece of dried meat.

"Are you going on another adventure today, Dabi?" Eli asked, eyes wide with curiosity.

"Yeah! I have to help the Town Guard," Dabi replied, feeling a sense of pride. "But I'll be back in time for dinner."

Mira's face lit up with excitement. "Can we come with you next time? I want to see you fight!"

Dabi chuckled, ruffling her hair. "Maybe when you're older. For now, you both have to stay safe."

As they finished breakfast, Mira glanced at the second egg resting on a small shelf in the corner of the room. "Do you think the egg will hatch soon?" she asked, her voice filled with hope.

"I hope so," Dabi replied. "It's been a while, hasn't it? Maybe it needs a little more time. We'll take care of it together."

Eli nodded, clearly excited about the prospect of a new pet. "I can't wait to see what it is! Maybe another Fenrir?"

Dabi smiled at their enthusiasm. "Whatever it is, I know it'll be special."

After breakfast, Dabi set off towards the hills, his heart racing at the thought of the mission ahead. The sun was shining brightly, and the path to the monster nest was familiar. As he walked, he focused on the skills he had gained, especially his new Phantom Step.

Arriving at the location, Dabi spotted the Town Guard already engaged in battle with a group of goblins that had taken over a cave. With a deep breath, he activated his skill and darted into the fray.

Dabi's agility and newfound strength shone through as he fought alongside the guards, his strikes precise and powerful. The goblins didn't stand a chance against his enhanced abilities. After several intense moments of combat, the nest was cleared.

As the dust settled and the guards thanked him for his help, Dabi felt a surge of accomplishment. He opened his status screen, eager to see the results of his hard work.

---

New Level: 17 Stat Points Gained: 3

With the excitement of the level-up, Dabi thought carefully about where to allocate his points. He decided to strengthen his Agility, feeling it was essential for his combat style.

---

As Dabi made his way home, he felt lighter and more confident. He couldn't wait to share the news of his level-up with Eli and Mira, along with the 2000 gold coins he had earned.

That evening, as they gathered for dinner, Dabi couldn't contain his excitement. "Guess what? I leveled up to 17 today!" he exclaimed, beaming at his siblings.

"That's awesome, Dabi!" Mira shouted, clapping her hands. "What are your new stats?"

Dabi recounted his new strength and agility, watching as his siblings listened intently, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

"And the egg?" Eli asked, eyes darting to the shelf. "Any news on it?"

"Not yet, but I'm sure it'll hatch soon," Dabi reassured them. "We just have to keep taking care of it."

As they finished their meal, the laughter and warmth of family surrounded Dabi. He felt a sense of fulfillment, knowing he was growing stronger for them, and

he couldn't wait for the day when the second egg would finally hatch.
