In a huge luxuriously decorated room.
A king-sized bed occupies the center of the room.
On the bed, a beautiful young woman with red hair sleeps peacefully, while on one side, a young man with brown hair is sitting on a chair, his head resting on the bed.
The atmosphere is imbued with tranquility and serenity, with soft light filtering through the curtains, creating a cozy ambiance.
Suddenly, the eyelids of the young woman with red hair trembled slightly.
With a slight grimace of pain, the young woman slowly opened her eyes.
Looking around, the young woman with red hair appeared somewhat confused, but after a while, she seemed to regain some clarity.
Observing the room, her eyes settled on the boy sitting in the chair with his head resting on the bed, a look of tenderness and tranquility appearing on the girl's face.
Rubbing her still somewhat sore head, a somewhat bitter expression filled her face.
"Hehe, I got beaten up, huh?" Eris shook her head bitterly, recalling the severe beating she received in her fight against Alfia.
After Alfia started fighting seriously, Ghislaine and she could only be passively beaten.
The powerful magic she used and the exquisite techniques she performed inevitably led to the final outcome.
"However... This time was much better." A smile of satisfaction appeared on Eris's face.
Unlike her past fight against Orsted where she could only crawl on the ground and plead.
This time, she managed to fight with all her might and pour every drop of effort into it.
So even though she lost, she doesn't feel unhappy because she managed to demonstrate how much her strength has grown.
There's only the small bitter feeling of defeat, but as her master said, a warrior learns more from their defeats than from their victories.
Once she recovers, she'll train again and become much stronger, so that next time she can strike the arrogant face of Alfia.
Putting aside that thought, Eris remembered Ghislaine who fought side by side with her.
"Ghislaine should be okay, right?" Eris wondered with some concern.
Trying to get up from the bed, Eris moved all her muscles that were hurting like hell.
The excessive use of her techniques brought a great strain to her body, and even with the best elixirs, the wear and tear on the body cannot be completely healed.
Eris's movement on the bed woke up Rudeus who was sitting beside her.
Opening his eyes and seeing Eris awake and trying to get out of bed with force, a relieved expression filled him to see that Eris was as energetic as ever.
Then, with an annoyed tone, Rudeus got up and yelled at Eris.
"Eris, what the hell are you doing?! Your body is recovering, don't try to move." Moving towards Eris, Rudeus took Eris and forced her back onto the bed.
Eris tried to fight back, but her currently weak body couldn't do anything against Rudeus's level 5 strength.
"Rudeus, how's Ghislaine?" Seeing that she couldn't get up with Rudeus around, she unloaded her concerns with Rudeus.
Rudeus smiled as he gently laid Eris's head on the pillow and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, she's in the same state as you. Her wounds have been completely healed, and now her body only suffers from the excess strain."
After finishing tucking Eris into bed, Rudeus added, "Elinalise is taking care of her, so you don't have to worry."
Eris calmed down upon hearing that Ghislaine was okay, but suddenly she thought of something and quickly waved her hands at Rudeus.
"Come on, Rudeus, carry me! Take me to Kami-sama!" Eris got excited and tried to get up again.
"Ahh, Eris, calm down, you haven't fully recovered yet. Besides, what's the rush to see Kami-sama?" Rudeus tried to contain Eris, who was fighting like a cat.
"Don't you know, Rudeus? Before the fight, I was on the brink of level 5. It's possible that the fight may have given me the achievement to level up." Eris explained impatiently why she was in a hurry to find Kami-sama.
Kaylon told her that to gain achievements for upgrading, you have to have a feat big enough.
Great challenges, life or death battles, facing enemies much stronger than you, are all possible feats for upgrading.
Last night she fought against Alfia, someone much stronger than her, and came out alive. Eris believes that she very likely has the feats needed to level up.
If she can upgrade to level 6, then her strength will greatly increase. Kami-sama told her that level 6 is the threshold of heroes.
Anyone who reaches level 6 is already halfway to divinity.
Seeing Eris's determined face, which clearly said, "carry me or I'll bite you to death," Rudeus sighed resignedly and delicately picked up Eris and put her on his back.
After ensuring she was comfortable, they both set off towards the office of their God.
On the way to the office, passing through the training ground, they bumped into a Rujierd who was coming out of a training session.
"Rujierd!" Eris on Rudeus's back waved her hands at Rujierd.
"Eris! It looks like you really put a great strain on your body." Rujierd, seeing Eris who couldn't walk, said with some concern.
"Well, it was quite an intense fight, but don't worry, give me about two days and I'll be completely recovered." Eris said confidently.
It's not the first time she's pushed her muscles to the limit; when she trained with her masters, it happened many times. At first, they sent her to bed for a week, but after overloading her body several more times, she would be fine in just two days of recovery.
Her master told her that the body adapts to various hostile situations; in the end, she didn't understand much, she just knew she had become more resistant to beatings.
Shaking his head helplessly, Rujierd said nothing more; anyone who knows Eris knows how stubborn she can be.
"By the way, where are you going in that outfit?" Rujierd asked, looking at the large white nightgown Eris was wearing.
"This!?" Eris looked with surprise at the large nightgown that reached her ankles, then looked resentfully at Rudeus; she clearly hadn't even noticed what clothes she was wearing.
"Sorry, I forgot." Rudeus also didn't pay attention to Eris's clothes and forgot to give her more decent clothes to go see their Kami-sama.
"Ahh, forget it, let's just go like this! I don't want to waste time changing." Eris put her hand to her forehead in frustration; even a warrior like her still likes to look presentable.
"Come on, walk, my loyal steed." Eris grabbed Rudeus's hair as if she were taking the reins of a horse and urged Rudeus on.
Sighing, Rudeus continued on their way to the divine office.
However, before they could leave, they heard Rujierd's shout.
"By the way! If you're looking for Kami-sama, he's in the pool! He said something about needing to sunbathe to maintain his beauty."
Stopping, Rudeus and Eris changed their route towards the Rozzo family pool.
"Thanks, Rujierd! Once I recover, let's have a nice match!" Eris shouted as she walked away with Rudeus.
Rujierd, seeing the departure of the two, shook his head with a smile and said nostalgically, "The pair of little kids have grown up and become great warriors."
Heading towards the secluded part of the mansion where the Superds reside, Rujierd prepared to take a good rest.
...
Rozzo family pool.
With an enormous surface of over 400 meters, the pool looks more like a lake.
This place is quite famous within the family and is used by everyone whenever they want to immerse themselves in the water to relax.
Today, in the family pool, a relaxed Kaylon can be seen lounging comfortably on a beach chair.
Today, Kaylon is wearing shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, showing off his strong legs and muscular arms.
Near the God in the pool, two little lolis play in the shallow end of the pool.
Kaylon checks from time to time to make sure the little lolis haven't drowned.
"My dignified Primordial God has become a babysitter," Kaylon sighed as he watched Norn and Aisha play in the pool.
Since the beginning of the war with the Dark Faction, Paul has been very busy leading groups in the family to suppress the Dark Faction.
Lilia, as Riveria's assistant, has been much busier, following Riveria to all meetings or staying late to sort out information.
Zenith, as Paul's wife, accompanies him whenever he goes out to watch over him to prevent sudden death.
This has left the little Norn and Aisha alone and bored in their room.
So the two little lolis always come to bother Kaylon, who is the only relatively free person in the family.
Today, the two lolis came begging him to take them to the pool, and since Kaylon also wanted to soak up the sun, he took them both to the pool.
Of course, now he has to make sure they don't drown, otherwise, how could he explain it to Paul, Zenith, and Lilia?
"Uncle Kaylon, come swim with us!" Aisha, in her cute red swimsuit, waved her hands at Kaylon.
Norn, much shyer, just looked at Kaylon with puppy eyes.
"No." Although the lolis are very cute, Kaylon still doesn't feel like getting into the water.
"Hmph, party pooper." Puffing out her cheeks, Aisha went back to playing with Norn.
Kaylon, for his part, continued to sunbathe placidly.
Suddenly, the sound of two people reached the pool.
"Damn it, Rudeus, you're the slowest horse I've ever seen."
"Who the hell is your horse, Eris? I'm a human being. Did Alfia hit your brain so hard that you became dumb!?"
The sound of people arguing made Kaylon turn his gaze towards Eris and Rudeus coming from the pool gate.
Eris, seeing her Kami-sama lying down, immediately shouted to him, "Master, I want to level up! Quickly, take out your magic needle and let me see my status!"
Kaylon looked disdainfully at Eris and said, "Idiot disciple, the needle isn't magic; it's my blood that activates your falna."
Ignoring Kaylon's words, Eris got off Rudeus's back and limped towards the chair next to Kaylon.
"Hehe, disciple, it seems like yesterday's beating was quite tough," Kaylon said with a touch of mockery as he sat back in his chair.
"That damn Alfia is so cruel, targeting vital points to cause the most pain and least damage," Eris gritted her teeth, thinking of Alfia's dark techniques.
Kaylon shook his head, remembering how they found Eris and Ghislaine.
After Eris and Ghislaine received the distress signal, other groups patrolling also received it.
Apart from Ghislaine and Eris, Paul and Talhand, who were patrolling nearby, also hurried to the scene.
When they arrived, they not only found the entire Astrea family injured but also Eris and Ghislaine looking quite bad.
Panicked, Paul quickly took both of them and ran to the family house, while Talhand stayed with some other Superds to help the Astrea family.
After arriving at the family, he immediately informed Riveria, who brought out the family's most expensive elixirs.
After healing them and ensuring that both were okay, they were sent to rest in their respective rooms.
"So, how was it? Was it an awesome battle?" Kaylon asked his apprentice with a smile.
"Hehe, it was an amazing battle," Eris responded with a fierce smile.
The feeling of fighting with all her might, the feeling of using all her techniques.
Being on the edge of life or death, for a warrior at heart like her, it's simply something that makes her blood boil.
Nodding with satisfaction, Kaylon got up and took out a needle from who knows where. "Well, let's see the fruits of your battle then!"
Eris quickly looked around, seeing no men nearby except for Rudeus and her God, she took off her nightgown, leaving only her back exposed, and reclined in the chair.
Kaylon approached, pricking his finger and letting a drop of golden blood fall onto the symbol of his family on Eris's back. (I remind you that the symbol of our family is based on that of Hyperion)
Eris, who was lying down, felt as if her being had suddenly ascended, a huge surge of strength and vitality filling her body, making her feel extremely ecstatic.
"Mmmm" Eris felt so good that a suppressed moan escaped her mouth.
Turning as red as a tomato, Eris glared at Kaylon and Rudeus with a murderous look.
Rudeus and Kaylon, noticing the glare, quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.
After leaving behind the embarrassing moment, Kaylon approached Eris and checked her condition.
After a quick look, a curse escaped Kaylon's mouth.
"Shit!"
Eris, hearing her God's curse, quickly interrogated him, "What's wrong, Kami-sama? Did I level up?"
Kaylon looked at Eris and, with an excited smile, said, "Hehe, Eris, congratulations! You're officially a Level 6 adventurer now, and not only that, you've gained two new abilities."
"Really!? Kami-sama, let me see my status, please!" Impatiently, Eris grabbed her God's arm and shook it.
"Wait, calm down." Taking the status from Eris's back, Kaylon translated it and wrote it on a piece of paper, which he then passed to Eris.
Taking her status quickly, Eris looked at it anxiously.

[C Training] [Abnormal Endurance D] [Swordsman B] [Strong Body F] [Willpower C]
Seeing her status, a grin from ear to ear formed on Eris's face. "Hahaha, Kami-sama, Rudeus, I have two incredible abilities!"
Rudeus, who approached and saw her status, was stunned, mentally telling himself that he would probably have to live under Eris's domination for the rest of his life.
Kaylon looked at Eris, who forgot even about the pain and started moving and jumping for joy, and shook his head with a happy smile.
Today, officially, their family added another Level 6, and not just any Level 6. With Eris's abilities, leveling up is as simple as drinking water.
"Riveria will also jump for joy when she sees the status," Kaylon thought of his elf, who becomes happier when their family grows stronger than when her own strength increases.
"Well, give me that; I'll show it to Riveria and Elinalise and then burn it," Kaylon took the status from Eris's hands and tucked it into his shirt.
This isn't Mushoku, where hiding the status didn't matter. Here in their world, if Eris's status leaks, her strengths and weaknesses will be exposed.
"Kami-sama, look, I'm going to use my second ability," Eris moved away from the chairs and prepared to use her skill.
"I don't recommend it, Eris, your body can't handle—"
"Fire of Wrath!!"
Before Kaylon could finish giving his warning, Eris activated her ability.
A violent red flame engulfed Eris's body completely, the temperature could be felt several meters away from her.
Eris's physical capacity and mana increased drastically.
"Hahaha, incredible, and it's not even at its maximum potential!" Eris laughed heartily, noticing how much her power increased when using her ability.
"I'll increase it a bit more, get ready, Vo—" before Eris could finish speaking, her vision suddenly darkened, and she fell to the ground.
~BAM~
"ERIS!!" Rudeus, seeing Eris fall to the ground, quickly ran to help her.
Eris, lying on the ground, looked at Rudeus and said, "Rudeus, I can't feel my legs."
"You idiot," Rudeus sighed frustratedly and carefully lifted Eris in a princess carry.
Kaylon looked at Eris speechless and said, "When will you learn to listen to human words, Eris?"
"Ah, it hurts, my whole body hurts," Eris complained about the pain in her muscles.
The Fire of Wrath ability is incredible, but increasing your strength naturally puts a strain on the body, and Eris, who already had a depleted body, ended up exhausting the little energy she had recovered.
"Let's go to the room; you need to rest again," Rudeus bid farewell to Kaylon and, taking Eris, headed back to their room.
"Eris! When you recover, I'll give you a gift," Kaylon shouted to Eris as she walked away.
"What is it!?" Eris, hearing her God, shouted back with curiosity.
"Hehe, you'll see," Kaylon smiled mysteriously.
Although Eris would love to interrogate her Master now, she just wants to lie down and relax her body.
Kaylon, seeing the departing couple, smiled and walked toward the pool, picking up the two Lolis who were still playing.
"Let's go; I'll take you to your room. I have to go out for something."
"Ehh! But I wanted to play more."
"No."
"Hmph, party pooper."
...
Hephaistos Family
Hephaistos's Office.
"So you're telling me that now you not only want a weapon that grows with the user but two?" Hephaistos looked at Kaylon with a resentful gaze.
"Come on, Hephaistos! Remember everything I did for you in the sky; you won't forget that, right?" Kaylon persuaded Hephaistos with a smile.
The relationship between Hephaistos and Kaylon in the sky was very good, and it can be considered that Kaylon helped Hephaistos a lot in Tenkai.
Therefore, Hephaistos owes Kaylon several favors, of course, people with shame would never cash in on those favors.
But who is Kaylon, a person whom shame pursues but does not catch.
Hephaistos lowered her head helplessly; she has a very good impression of Kaylon. After all, Kaylon cured one of her major flaws.
Thanks to his help, she was able to get rid of the curse of her eye.
Of course, many people don't know about it except for Hestia; no one else has realized it. After all, even though she was cured, she still wears her eyepatch.
That favor is undoubtedly very big, and it resolved her complex; now she has nothing to be ashamed of in front of other Goddesses' beauty.
"Why out of nowhere do you ask for another weapon? I understand the first one is for your future wife Riveria, but the second?" Hephaistos asked curiously.
"Well, originally I didn't plan for this weapon, but my dear disciple has surpassed herself, and I, as a master, can only give her a reward," Kaylon said somewhat defenselessly.
In fact, he had only planned to build one growth weapon; after all, these weapons are expensive, and he has to put in the materials and money.
However, Eris's fight and upgrade took him by surprise; after all, his disciple accomplished a great achievement, and he, as a master, has to give his disciple the corresponding rewards.
"Sighh... You're really annoying. Fine, I'll do it, but you'll have to do the same as the previous one, without 500 million Valis, and you provide the materials," Hephaistos sighed resignedly.
Kaylon is her savior and best friend; it's hard for her to refuse.
"Haha, don't worry, Hephaistos; I'll pay for everything without any problem," Kaylon put on a painful smile, thinking that they have to come up with another 500 million Valis.
Fortunately, soon the guild will pay them a large amount of money as a reward for the destruction of the Apate family.
"Alright, it'll be ready in three days; come back by then," Without saying more, Hephaistos walked to her forge room, leaving.
Kaylon, who stayed thinking in Hephaistos's office.
Eris's weapon won't be a loss at all; with Eris's potential and willpower, she can easily reach Level 9.
Even with enough time and training, she could break through mortal limits and ascend to divinity.
And with her current combat ability, a first-level weapon doesn't allow her to fully unleash her power.
Instead, a weapon that fully adapts to her will undoubtedly allow Eris to show her full power without restrictions.
"A great investment," Kaylon nodded.
Walking to the door, Kaylon headed home again; there are many things to do, and the Rozzo family never stops.
---
Well, that's it for today's chapter!
As many of you may have noticed, I really like the character of Eris, and I feel she has great potential for growth, so she will continue to develop along with other characters I love from my story, such as Riveria, Elinalise, Talhand, and Sylphie.
Many people want a Harem, however, when I started writing this story, I made it clear from the beginning that there wouldn't be a Harem. This is because of my special affection for this story.
In the future, when I write other stories, I might include a Harem, but not in this one.
I appreciate your support!
You know that if you like it, you can add Power Stones.
