Chapter 26 - Level 2

"Eh?! Killing the baby dragon with one shot!?" 

At the residence, Hestia listened to Olga's story with an expression of disbelief. 

The baby dragon is the real BOSS on floors 1 to 12 of the dungeon. When a newbie encounters it, the best way to handle the situation is to find a way to escape; otherwise, they are very likely to be annihilated by the opponent's attack. 

The various death records documented in the guild were all caused by the combined efforts of players, with more enemies than allies. There were even some teams with adventurers at LV.2 and above attacking in formation. 

But now, Link actually killed the baby dragon with one shot at LV.1. 

Is that reasonable? 

"Isn't that reasonable? The dragon isn't that strong; I think it's quite normal..." 

"How is that reasonable? Come on, take off your clothes and follow me into the house!" 

"Eh?" 

`You, the perverted big-breasted Loli goddess, are you planning to take action against me?` 

"We need to see if your skills are worth it." 

Oh, he understand. 

Soon, Hestia's cheers filled the room. 

"Link can level up!"

With the strength of LV.1, he defeated the baby dragon alone and vanquished many monsters. His strength and great achievements have already met the standards for promotion. In fact, all attributes and skills have reached the terrifying level of SSS1999! Additionally, there is a new skill, [Lone Meteor: Stella]. 

"Hestia, please help me upgrade." 

"Well, as you wish, Link. You have worked hard during this time; it must be very tiring to reach this level in such a short span." 

Upon seeing Link's skill value exceed the theoretical limit, Hestia's heartbeat accelerated slightly. The maximum limit for ordinary adventurers is only S, but Link has reached SSS. There's no doubt; after all, this is the first time in thousands of years and there has never been such an instance before. It also demonstrates how hard Link has worked during this period. 

No matter how talented someone is, if they do not work hard, they cannot achieve this level in such a short time. Now, the hands that have integrated the blood into the upgraded falna are trembling slightly. With the integration of Hestia's divine blood, the falna on Link's back also changed once again. 

The 1 behind LV is slowly replaced by 2. This means that Link has officially become a Level 2 adventurer! Immediately afterward, many words emerged from the falna behind him, which were the changes brought about by the upgrade. 

Hestia looked up; of course, it was to develop skills. "Hey, Link, it seems you have six development skills?" Hestia's eye twitched again. Is it the effect brought about by skills? What kind of abnormal skill is this? 

"Lancer," "Mysterious," "Hunter," "Swordsman," "Lucky," and "Abnormal Resistance." Link, you can choose two of them. What do you think? Which ones will you choose?" Lancer and swordsman must be related to [Thousand Soul Hunters] and [Swordsman], while luck must concern [Gaia's Love]. Link roughly understood the reason. 

"Hestia, just choose 'Mystery' and 'Luck.' Anyway, other skills can be selected again the next time the player levels up." 

"Link, if others saw a data panel like yours, they might become autistic..." 

"Um... it's not like it's not that..." 

As Hestia's fingers gently slid down his back, the personal skill panel behind Link changed once more.

...

A few days later, at the Adventurer's Guild. 

The guild hall, once bustling with many adventurers coming and going, was now silent. 

Those who frequented this place to gather information about the day's consultations were, at that moment, dumbfounded as they looked at the information posted on the huge notice board in front of them, without exception. 

Many adventurers, upon seeing this news, couldn't help but feel embarrassed and let out a deep breath. 

On the notice board... 

The red font indicated that it was from the Hestia Familia, and below it was the certified guild seal. The content displayed information about a new adventurer. 

'New Adventurer: Link, from Hestia Familia, adventurer for 14 days.' 

'He entered the 13th floor, attacked the baby dragon alone, killed it with a single blow, and was promoted to level 2. The current title is to be determined...' 

Many adventurers adopted a skeptical attitude and went to Eina and the others for repeated confirmation. In the end, they received a definite answer. Even the killing of the baby dragon had been witnessed by the Takemikazuchi Familia clan... 

"Four... fourteen days... are you kidding? How is this possible? Your guild must have made a mistake!" 

"I must be dreaming! Brother, pinch me..." 

"Crack!" 

"Ouch! That hurts!" 

"I must have been drunk last night and haven't had a good rest yet. I'm hallucinating. Brothers, I won't take any chances today. I'll go back to sleep first and wait until I wake up." 

Could such unbelievable information be true? 

After becoming an adventurer for only two weeks, he reached level 2. This speed is beyond even Ais, who is known for advancing rapidly. 

At this pace, it must be a trap, right? 

And he also single-handedly killed the baby dragon BOSS in the upper area in one hit? 

The undeniable information stirred the adventurers, and the entire guild was like a vegetable market at that moment. 

At the counter, half-elf Eina looked at the announcement in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes. 

But then she felt relieved. 

Sure enough, with his ability, he could achieve such a feat.

"Haha…"

Eina couldn't help but laugh.

She knew the reason why Link had joined the Hestia Familia by chance.

Presumably, when Loki found out about this, she would probably cry a lot, right?

The truth was coming close to this.

As Hestia's mortal enemy, news about Link, the son of the 'enemy' family, reached the 'Twilight Pavilion' almost immediately, and Loki met them.

"Link? That street kid who wanted to join our clan?"

Loki muttered to herself after hearing Link's name.

"Huh?"

"Join our family?"

"Is that still a thing?"

Finn, the leader of the Loki Familia, the elf Riveria, and the dwarf Gareth were sitting nearby at that time and naturally heard Loki's mutterings.

"Loki, what's going on? Please tell me the situation in detail."

Riveria put on a serious face, her eyes fixed on Loki.

This restless Goddess might have caused trouble again while they were away.

"Oops...!"

Loki scratched her head in distress. Under the attention of the three leaders of the familia, she could only tell the truth about the original situation.

"In other words, this extremely talented young man should have joined our familia from the beginning, but that day you wanted to go home early to drink, so you found a reason to refuse because you thought it was troublesome, right?"

"It's a pity that we lost him like that."

Finn also rubbed his forehead in distress.

"Really, I handed over treasure to that runt Hestia for nothing!"

"It's not all your fault!"

Loki, narrowing her eyes, couldn't help but curse, but was immediately hit head-on by Riveria's staff.

"I didn't expect that either," Loki, a flat-chested lady with narrowed eyes, said with a sad face as she rubbed her head. "When I first saw him, I thought he looked a little weak and was only slightly handsome."

"Think about this! You won't be able to drink alcohol for the next week!"

"Ah?"

At that moment, Loki did regret it, but it was a pity that there was no medicine for regret in the world.

It's only when you lose something that you come to value it.
