Chapter 15: A Whole Week's Progress

After killing the large horde of monsters with the help of his destruction element, Keith stood in the middle of the forest which was painted red by the blood of the monsters.

He stood there and watched the surrounding area for a brief moment with a blank expression on his face.

He then started to look around at all of the various types of drop items that he had received from killing the large horde of monsters.

He then started to walk around the battlefield and then he started to pick up the various types of drop items that ranged from, common to legendary.

He quickly started to place all of the drop items into his Item Box as he started to shift his attention and gaze onto the system's interface which he had switched off during the fight with the large horde of monsters.

There were a lot of panels that had started to surface in front of Keith in rapid succession from being a lot of new messages that had being blocked out by him when he was fighting off the large horde of monsters.

'...'

'Damn, that is a hell of a progress that I have gotten there,' thought Keith as he looked at his status window with a satisfied expression on his face and a large smile was also plastered on his face.

'Hmm ... Devastation ? That is certainly a new one,' thought Keith as he looked at his [Destruction] affinity's evolved Rank.

'Hey system, what is this about a Devastation Rank ? I thought that the ranks ended at the SSS Rank,' said Keith as he started to question the system about the new Rank that he has received.

[There are six magical affinities that can surpass the SSS Rank. Namely:[Destruction], [Creation], [Space], [Time],[Light] and [Darkness].] - said the system with a very knowledgeable tone in its robotic voice as it started to explain calmly to Keith about the magical affinities that could surpass the SSS Rank.

[These magical affinities are very highly ranked, so that is why only they can surpass the SSS Rank.] - said the system as it explained the reasons to Keith about why only these magical affinities were able to surpass the SSS Rank.

[The Ranks that are after the SSS Rank are: [Devastation], [Catastrophe], [Apocalypse] and [Demi God].] - said the system as it started to list the Ranks that come after the SSS Rank.

[Do you understand now about how special you are to have one of the six most powerful magical affinities in the entire universe ?] - asked the system with a slightly irritated tone in its robotic voice which Keith ignored totally as he could not stop thinking about how effective his decision about coming to [The Dark Forest] so that he could get the [Destruction] affinity was.

'Damn, this magical affinities are just overpowered !' exclaimed Keith in his head as he started to think deeply about the other five powerful magical affinities that were still ownerless.

'I could be the strongest person in existence ! Just imagining myself with both the [Destruction] affinity and also the [Creation] affinity . Damn, I would be an overpowered bastard,' thought Keith as he imagined himself being the owner of both the [Destruction] affinity and the [Creation] affinity.

'Hmm ... now that I think about it, the [Creation] affinity is at the [Elven] Kingdom in [The World Tree's] possession,' thought Keith as he started to think about the [Creation] affinity's location.

'In the original novel, [The World Tree] gave the [Creation] affinity to the novel's villain on his birthday which is two months from now,' thought Keith with a very thoughtful expression on his face as he started to think about the original novel's events.

'I will come up with a plan about how I am going to get my hands on that [Creation] affinity when I get home. For now though, it is time to increase my stats,' thought Keith in his head as he started to shift his gaze towards the large amount of bonus points that he had accumulated while he was fighting against the large horde of monsters.

'Hey Jerry, can you please distribute my bonus points equally amongst all of my stats,' said Keith with a pleading tone in his voice as he asked the system to distribute his bonus points amongst all of his stats.

[Okay then. Evaluating the host's new stats ...] - said the system as it started to distribute the bonus points that Keith had gotten equally amongst his stats to increase Keith's stats.

[Displaying new stats ...]

-------{New Stats}-------

[Strength: 15 --> 39]

[Dexterity: 10 --> 34]

[Endurance: 9 --> 33]

[Intelligence: 17 --> 41]

[Charm: 20 --> 44]

[Bonus Points: 120 --> 0]

-------{End of New Stats}-------

"Hmm ... good," said Keith as he looked at his new stats and an even more bright smile flashed on his face as he was satisfied with his growth for today.

He has reached the level of progress that he was supposed to reach in a week all in one day.

'And finally, I can be regarded as a good looking individual by the other people from today because I have finally surpassed the average charm for the people in this world !' exclaimed Keith in his head as an excited expression formed on his face.

'I am at the protagonist's level when it comes to the charm attribute now,' thought Keith with a an elated expression on his very handsome face.

'Come to think about it, even the villain had an incredible stat for his charm attribute,' thought Keith with a slightly thoughtful expression on his handsome face.

'Well any way I am handsome now as well so there is no need to dwell on this matter anymore,' thought Keith as he smiled faintly.

He then shifted his gaze towards the unconscious girl and then a distant memory from his previous life surfaced in his mind which caused his eyes to widen in shock as his gaze lingered on the unconscious girl on the forest's ground.

'Wait, no way ! How could I not recognize her ?!' thought Keith as he started to walk towards the unconscious girl's body.

[...]

[Do not worry about her condition host. She is completely fine and healthy.] - said the system with a slightly comforting tone in its robotic voice as it could not hear or read anything that Keith was thinking about because of his [Mental Fortitude] ability but it could feel his nervousness.

'If she is here, then that means that he must be close by,' thought Keith with a slightly nervous expression on his face as he continued to walk towards the unconscious girl and he even did not hear the words that were spoken by the system.
