24 5% of corruption(corrected)
Hearing Loki's request, Mark raised a confused eyebrow. Seeing Mark's bewildered expression, Aiz spoke up.
"She wants you to join the Familia."
'Why didn't she say it directly?' - Mark thought wordlessly.
"Well Goddess Loki, I accept your proposal."
"Hahaha great choice boy, now turn around and take off your shirt so I give you my blessing and we can see your status."
Hearing that his status would be seen, he quickly asked the Guide.
'Is it possible to hide the skills?' - He wanted to hide them for two reasons, the first was because he still didn't trust them and the second was because it would look even more interesting in Loki's eyes.
[With my power I can only hide one skill.]
'...then hide the 'heart of golem'.'
The reason why he chose to hide that ability is due to the fact that it interacts with the mentality of the person and he feared it would make Loki raise her guard.
Placing the fragment on the bed he took off his shirt and turned his back to Loki, but even after a few seconds, nothing happened. Turning, he looked at Loki strangely.
"Did something happen?"
"You don't feel embarrassed to undress in front of a beautiful girl." -Told him while pointing with her thumb Aiz, who was looking away embarrassed.
"Stop wasting time, I want to finish this quickly." - Mark said annoyed.
"Don't tell me you're from that side." -She said jokingly.
Before Mark could say anything, Loki began the ritual. Using a pin, she made a hole in her finger, where a drop of blood came out and fell on Mark's back. As the drop touched his back, a tattoo of a joker with various symbols began to form.
"Now that I've given you the blessing, let's see the status." -Loki put down a piece of paper and made two turns with her finger, by doing so, all the symbols were copied onto the paper.
"Hehehehe let's see how you are doing." -With those words, she began to read the content.

"I had the impression that you would be a good buy ... but this is too much even for me." -Loki said opening her eyes in shock.
"Does he have that much potential?" -Aiz asked curiously.
"This person might be missing everything, but the potential isn't that, plus I think someone here will break your record." -Loki said with a sly smile.
Aiz was now completely interested, she wanted to get closer to read but stopped when she saw Mark take the paper from Loki's hands.
"I would appreciate my privacy."
"Someone here is shy huh. Well Aiz darling, wait outside and I'll come and give you a breast massage later. " -Said while making strange movements with her hands and a perverted face.
Without even looking at Loki, Aiz took one last look at the paper that Mark had hidden and left.
"Well now that we are alone, let's have a chat." -Sitting on the bed she looked at Mark.
[Host I warn you that gods can perceive lies.]
'Now this is going to be a problem.' - He thought annoyed.
"So how long have you been at Orario?."
"A week."
"A week and you have those statistics, that skill is a cheat, even if it has some inconvenient" - She said while rubbing her chin.
"Next question, do you know your other skill? Strangely I can't see it"-She told him as she looked at him with her serpentine red eyes.
"It's a skill that not even I can understand" - Mark replied calmly. Of course, it wasn't a lie because it's true he doesn't fully understand it, but it's not the truth either.
"Hmm I understand ... and tell me, what is this stone?" - She said while pointing to the fragment of Selene.
"Something I care deeply about." -Mark replied without hesitation.
"And why?"
"It belonged to a person I couldn't protect." -He said those words in a slightly distorted voice.
"The reason to go down to the dungeon?"
"Strenght." -He said while clenching his fist, obviously this too was not a lie, but not the complete truth either.
"… Okay there are no problems. If you need a hand ask the members, if you are looking for me I'm going to my beautiful Aiz, bye-bye. " -Starting to her feet, Loki also left the room.
Seeing that no one was there, Mark went to close the door and then went to lie down on the bed while turning his head towards the fragment.
'Never again... never again will I lose you.' - While he was distracted by those thoughts, he remembered the sheet and went to look at it.
'Ending up half dead and then coming back to life increased endurance a lot even without ' limit break ' and the magic is finally unlocked, after the spell I cast.' -Continuing reading, he ended up in the part of the development ability.
'Mana perception has risen to grade B, in fact, now I can continuously see particles of lights if I concentrate. I also learned mana manipulation which allows me to cast spells, but I need to practice. Even though I was able to cast the spell before, it was under the 'heart of golem' effects, so I can't quite remember the feeling. '
Moving on to the skill area, he saw that a new one had appeared there.
'Intent eh. A skill that can put pressure on an enemy during a fight is extremely useful '
[Host I recommend seeing the 'heart of golem' skill.]
With those words, the ability that had not been read before was now visible.
#######################################################
-Golem heart: Your experiences have taught you true human nature, this makes it harder to get others into your heart and only people who truly care about you can receive your feelings.
(active) Turns off your human side and increases your statistics by 100 (corruption risk) (when used in conjunction with 'limit break' double corruption) (Statistics increases by 50 every 5% of corruption) (corruption 5%).
(passive) Makes it easier to distinguish the nature of people.

"Has the skill changed?" - Mark asked surprised.
[in addition to the mutation, the problem is corruption. Initially, I thought that corruption only affects your mentality, but it also affects your soul.]
Hearing the words of the Guide, Mark's expression became serious.
'How serious.'
[As you know, every soul has colors. The auras you see are none other than people's souls, so the stronger they are, the greater the size of the soul, but now there is a problem. Your ability eliminates the colors from your soul making you gradually lose all feelings until you become an empty shell. It's currently 5% so the damage isn't too much, maybe you'll be colder than usual.]
Rising to his feet he could not help speaking in a loud voice.
"This doesn't make sense, last time I didn't have corruption!"
[I think corruption happens more if you are not in an adequate mental state]
At that point Mark understood what he meant, that day he had lost all his will and for this, his ability has taken control of him.
"So I am at the starting point. In order not to let the corruption take place I have to develop my mind, but meditation is not enough." -Said as he walked in a circle.
[Even if you develop your mind, the risk of corruption remains.]
"But at least it wouldn't be that excessive. Furthermore, this skill is too useful, with that, I was able to create a spell that I had never tried before, all thanks to being able to concentrate completely on one thing. If I could handle it, I would be able to become more powerful, especially thanks to its stat buff."
As he continued walking in a circle he heard a knock on the door.
"Mr. Mark the goddess Loki is about to have a meeting, open the door so I will take you to the meeting place."
Hearing the voice, Mark went to the bed where he took the fragment which he put in his pocket, after checking that it was not pierced and only then, he went to open the door.
