9 Chapter Nine: Plans

"You sure about this? I was kinda hoping to safe them longer." I said as he nods, as we were discussing the system I told him about the stats and how I get extra per level. Apparently he thinks I should dump them in a few stats.

"Yes, first I want you to put ten in int so we can see what happens. You said you've only gained int from either a series of difficult questions answered correctly or you learn something new, which leads me to believe that if you boost it without learning something it'll either expand your knowledge on what you know, or make your brain run faster." He said as I understood.

I put ten points in as I get a minor pain in my head, it kinda reminded me of migraines but as soon as it came it left. I gasp as I feel a difference, it's almost as if everything is clearer. I remember small things that had happened that I may have forgotten, along with other small details I may have missed.

"Woah, I think it just enhanced my cognitive functions. Mainly my memory." I said as he nodded. He quickly wrote it down on a notepad we've been using to record it. He said that only those who know what the artifact is can see the writing, otherwise it looks like it's filled with gibberish.

"I thought so, now put ten is wis. I'm 90% sure that it will increase your imagination or increase the efficiency of how you use your knowledge." He said as I nodded excited. Alright, sounds good to me.

I put the ten points in as I gasp again, ideas I had changed to be more efficient, better than before. If I was hiding I would have found the closes shadow or cover, but now I'd run into a crowd and switch clothes to through them off while acting like a normal human.

"That, was an experience. It's strange, if I were to make a plan earlier I'm sure it'd be at least a little better, like make it run smoother or be more effective." I said as starts to get excited, I',m sure he hasn't had a challenge or something new happen for a while.

"Perfect, your physical stats can still grow, especially since I gave you that new training plan with better equipment. The main problem with your growth is luck and charisma, sure you could go to a casino and talk the talk while getting points but if you want to gain more influence you should do it now." He said as I rose an eyebrow, why now?

Seeing my face he elaborated, "Lord of the sky has lost his godly weapon, and rumor has it that the Lord of the dead has a similar problem. You can use this distraction to gain some influence." But how? How would I get influence?

"How?" I had asked as he smirked, "With the gods distracted many different companies and agencies are trying to get some traction with monster hunting, artifact hunting, basically everything one would want in a place like the west."

"So your saying I should join one?" I ask as he shakes his head, "Thats up to you, but I think it will limit you. If anything you should go there and establish your presence, take a few of their missions and do them. It will help build you an image while you train." So I'm making a name for myself then? I like that, but.

"I can't really go to a Agency and look professional dressed in casual clothing can I? Not to mention I'm staying at a school with two Demi-gods, one a daughter of Hecate and the other might be a son of a sea god." I said as he looks at me deadpan.

"At what time did you enter the Labyrinth?" He asks as I grow confused, whats that matter for?

"Around 3:00 PM, why?" I ask as he sighs and covers his face with his hands, "Nathan, time works differently down here, here in my lab it's slowed as to make me work longer without disturbance but outside the room time runs faster, a lot faster in some places." He said as I paled, oh god how long was I down here.

"Don't worry, my watch says it's 6 O' clock out there so you can still make a cover story. Here, take this keycard. If you press it against a labyrinth opening it will open directly to my workshop here. Exit is over there with the sign." He said as he passed what looked like a hotel card, with a delta sign on it. pointing to the exit sign, convenient.

"Sweet, hey before I go can you give me a map of this place? I got a quest earlier and it will give me a shit ton of levels." I asked as he smiled again, handing me a detailed map of the labyrinth.

"Alright, buh-bye." I said as I left thought the exit and see the same staircase I came down earlier from the bathroom. As I enter the bathroom I feel the map disappear and get a few notifications.

"Tch." I hate it when it's right, "Ha~ whatever." I continued to walk to my room as I see Lou about to enter, than God. She looks at me with surprise before she smiles.

"You ready to learn more enchantments? I'm sure you can get the conceal with enough time." She said as I smiled, this is gonna be hard isn't it? I shake my head and nod.

"Alright, just don't laugh this time if I mess up, kay?" I asked as her smile fills with mischief, heh, she's never gonna let this down will she? Oh well, might as well enjoy these lessons before I make my debut.
