6 [Level 6]
//I am on a fucking roll!//
================================================================
"Alright, I think that was some nice progress."
Erza and Seth had both been sitting in front of each other, again, having a short rest after their last encounter with a boss monster. Queen Slime was a joke, but she didn't melt instantly from one of Erza's attacks and that Seth didn't like. If the enemies last more than ten seconds, there's some grinding to be done.
Unfortunately for Seth, simply walking back through the levels was not an option as the doors would shut and disappear behind them every time they would move to another room. He also wasn't sure how this was supposed to be a tower, considering they were moving in a linear pattern, but who was Seth to judge? He'll play the game, get some S-Tier pussy along the way and achieve his own personal heaven at the end.
Now, with 20 Tickets, meaning 2 multi summons, Seth had come to a dilemma. He could try pulling some food, hoping for that 5★ strawberry cake to drop again, or, alternatively, he could top up some of Erza's power by summoning more units to empower her.
Or... he could just do both...
Granted, this would mean that he would only have very few items to sell for profit, but if it meant breezing through the rest of the early game then he had no trouble with it. Seth was still a bit iffy about giving Erza armour though, the view was very nice, but she was a very squishy unit as far as Seth could see.
Still, he wasn't new to playing as a glass cannon, in fact, it was his usual playstyle in most games! Including the likes of Elden Ring and other FromSoftware games. But that's a completely different topic entirely.
"I don't wanna get stuck in a bottleneck and have to go through these halls again, so I'll do one multi-summon for Personas."
Seth wasn't sure why he bothered informing Erza, but she seemed to like the fact that he did and nodded in understanding. It would only become harder from here, and Seth wasn't even sure what the maximum number of his party could be. Still, the more the merrier, especially if it means having more hot bitches!
Ahem.
>>>[Summon Persona]<<<
>[10 Pulls - 10 Tickets (4★ or higher GUARANTEED)]<
Seth pretty much began ignoring the single summon signs and instead his eyes immediately darted to the multi-summon button underneath the Persona summoning banner. Still, no special event going on for him to get specific characters. He... actually didn't even bother checking the actual numbers behind the gacha... Not that it would matter much to him.
Wasting no time at all, Seth smacked his finger against the 10 Pull button and subsequently cut the number of tickets in his possession in half. Moments later, ten cards appeared before him, they all had the same Yu-Gi-Oh-styled back as they always did and partially revealed the rarity of their contents whenever Seth flipped one of them.
"...Well... damn."
>[Blood-stained Lover - Yuno Gasai]<
>[★★★★ - Super Rare]<
>[Rabbit Flesh - Touka Kirishima]<
>[★★★★ - Super Rare]<
>[Cotton Candy Lover - Tony Tony Chopper]<
>[★★★★ - Super Rare]<
Seth received three 4★ units with the remaining seven Personas being the typical run of the mill 3★ trash. Now, the smart thing to do would be to fill his party with these higher-tier units until he has a full-on god-slayer team of the highest order, but, they aren't, particularly characters that Seth cares about or wants to interact with. Except maybe Chopper, Chopper is a nice guy, he'd make a great medic too. Sadly though, no such thing yet. First, he wants to max out his waifu, then he can do smart decisions.
"Here, take all of these."
Wordlessly, Erza absorbed the golden and silver magical particles the cards broke into only seconds later after Seth uttered those words. Immediately, the girl felt a shift in her perception of the world. Everything felt slower, clearer, it was like she was able to see and perceive things at a much greater speed and respond accordingly.
Seth took a look at his phone and was surprised by the number of levels Erza received from just three 4★ and seven 3★ units.
>[Bunny Girl - Erza Scarlet]<
>[★★★★★ - Ultra Rare]<
>[♥♥♥ / ♥♥♥♥♥ - Friends]<
>[Orientation: Offence]<
>[Element: FIRE]<
>[Attack: 2900 - Defence: 1000]<
>[Level 68 / Level 100]<
>[Skill 1: Assault Bunny (PASSIVE) - gains 250% ATK and SPD upon the start of the battle for 15 seconds, lasts for 30 if the opponent is a male]<
>[Skill 2: Dual Clash (5 seconds) - hits 2 targets with 150% of ATK, ignores Elemental Defence. If there's only 1 target present, doubles damage to 300%.]<
>[Skill 3: Crimson Seduction (20 seconds) - temporarily stun all enemies for 10 seconds]<
Her levels more than doubled, and technically speaking, it would require around 35 characters to fully max out a 5★ character, assuming they all have the same experience gain which, Seth hoped, they did. That was a pretty decent margin, considering Seth is only on the 20th floor out of 1000. Of course, this didn't take into consideration any amount of gear he would either have to summon from the gacha or buy, but that's something for another time.
"Two-thirds of the way to getting you into the 6★ categories. Then we'll be rolling over these early levels like they aren't even there!"
Erza chuckled lightly at Seth's unbridled enthusiasm, it was a bit strange, going around, fighting in a super-revealing bunny girl costume with a pair of swords that weren't even her own without access to most of her magic, but, it didn't feel... wrong. It just felt off, but not wrong, not at all.
Although she was already starting to label her supposed master as a pervert, it wasn't hard to see him ogling her every chance he got. But, Erza was pretty much used to those kinds of stares, she did use to have a lot of sets of revealing armour, after all. The pictures though were a bit unnecessary, if he just asked she'd even pose for them!
"I wonder how often we can visit the inn..."
Looking at the Help app, the magical phone kindly provided Seth with an answer to his question, one that even Erza was interested in.
>[You can enter the Inn automatically every 50 levels. Alternatively, you can use the Inn Pass that can be purchased from the Item Shop or gain a Permanent Key from one of the Inn's quests.]<
Now, that last line of text was very important to Seth as it unintentionally managed to spoil one fact about the Inn that Seth was unaware of, and that was the quest system. He wondered why there weren't any such things on his phone, and now he had his answer. He would have to go to the Inn in order to partake in any of their quests for a presumably variable amount of rewards.
Still, Seth had 10 more tickets to use and what better way to use them than on the Supply Summing banner? They had no need for upgrading their equipment, and Seth wanted to boost his intimacy with Erza. He knew that he was trying to do so very quickly, they weren't even 1/10th of the way to the very end but who said that Erza would be the only hot woman that Seth wanted to mate with?
This is a land of imagination and dreams, where big anime titties are a reality! And Seth wants all the titties and asses, it's his afterlife, after all! Pun intended.
>>>[Summon Supplies]<<<
>[10 Pulls - 10 Tickets (4★ or higher GUARANTEED)]<
A brief flash of platinum made Seth's eyes widen in recongition as his eyes focused on one card in particular that seemed to be a literal gift from god. First of all, it was a 5★ item, second of all, it wasn't really something considered "food", or essential for life.
It was a bouquet of beautiful red flowers, presumably roses, tied together with an elegant blue string. It was apparently also meant to smell nice and was generally meant to be regarded as a symbol of affection. It was also one of the things that Seth was hoping for that would help him get closer to the red-haired beauty.
>[Bouquet of Red Flowers]<
>[★★★★★ - Ultra Rare]
>[An item used to raise intimacy level, smells very pleasant.]<
He was still treating this as a game, despite knowing damn well that Erza herself has a conscience. Still, why in god's name would he not exploit the easy to use system granted to him by the gacha? Besides, it's not like he can ask her out on a date or anything like that in a place like this. The best he can do is literally gamble for stuff that she might like...
Yeah if this was Yumeko Jabami she'd be all over him by now. Damn, too bad that girl has as much fighting potential in a place like this as a banana. It's a weird comparison but it holds true in this context.
But let's get back to the matters at hand, shall we?
Seth couldn't help but feel embarrassed and flustered for what he was about to do. Still, the consequences of his actions were enough to force any self-doubt to the back of his mind. Not quite sure how to approach this situation, the male stood up, his female companion following suit soon after.
"Shall we move on now?"
"Yeah, hold on just a second. I have a little something for you..."
Seth pretended to ruffle in his back pocket for something while he was actually just whipping out the card with the image of the beautiful flowers on it. In a bright flash, the bouquet materialised in Seth's hand and before Erza could even register the presence of the object fully, it showed towards her.
...

"...Here. I'm not very good with this whole romance stuff an' all, so I thought I'd just give you this. I like you. I love your body. Your personality and your brawn. Be my woman."
