"Indeed, after solo battling and defeating Balor, the experience points required for my level-up were instantly fulfilled.

"Moreover, due to defeating Balor, a higher-class enemy, my development abilities of Over-level and Floor Boss Killer have greatly improved, jumping two levels from I to G."

"This means that these two development abilities can now unleash even more powerful strength. At least, they are significantly stronger than the buffs used against Balor."

"But why is there another killer ability added, this time a Monster Killer?"

"Has it changed from targeting floor bosses to targeting monsters?" Aston pondered while looking at the blessing paper, but upon seeing the new development ability options, he couldn't help but wryly smile.

"These development abilities are seriously buffed. Initially, Over-level targeted opponents and enemies, then Floor Boss Killer for floor bosses, and now directly targeting monsters."

"With these three development abilities combined, monsters are going to explode, and floor bosses will suffer severely."

"However…"

"I like it. Next time, when my ability values reach EX, I'll choose this development ability during the upgrade."

At this moment, Hestia's voice sounded.

After briefly punishing Eina, she let her go.

"Hey, Aston, I'm planning to go to the Guild to file a report and change your level to Lv.2. What do you think?"

"Your level is already so high, it's about time to make it public. However, this also requires time. Otherwise, if your current level is published all at once, the Guild will impose a fine, and leaping several levels at once will definitely result in a heavy fine." Eina added from the side.

As a former Guild employee, Eina was very clear about these matters.

"Ah, I was just about to talk about this." Aston said with a smile in response.

Knowing that he had replaced the original protagonist and with the system's assurance, Aston was not too worried about the rapid pace of his leveling. He had been planning to discuss with Hestia about gradually making his level public. However, he had been so busy these past few days that he had forgotten about it. Now that Hestia brought it up, it reminded him of this important matter.

"Then, let Eina accompany you to the Guild tomorrow," Hestia suggested. "Every adventurer's level-up process is usually inquired about by the Guild to get a rough idea of their adventures. Eina is more familiar with this."

"Okay, we'll go tomorrow," Aston replied with a smile.

"Leave it to me, Hestia-sama!" Eina exclaimed excitedly and confidently, which drew a dubious look from Hestia.

It seemed to Hestia that having Eina accompany Aston might not be a great idea.

"Uh, Hestia-sama, why are you looking at me like that?" Eina noticed her overreaction and quickly reverted to a more composed expression.

"Oh, no, it's nothing," Hestia said, shaking her head, feeling that she might have been overthinking.

"Now, tell me about your adventures these last two days." After deciding to have Aston update his level, Hestia began to inquire about his recent adventures.

Aston chuckled and recounted his experiences from the past two days. Naturally, he omitted the incident with Tiona, as mentioning it would likely cause an uproar with both Hestia and Eina.

Hestia and Eina were both astounded upon hearing that Aston, with support from Ais and others, had single-handedly battled and defeated Balor. Their mouths hung open in shock, practically turning them into statues.

After a light tap on their heads by Aston, they snapped back to reality. Both of them were incredibly excited and began eagerly asking about the details of Aston's battle.

Aston did not hold back and detailed his combat experience to the two women, who listened with a mix of fear and admiration in their eyes.

...

The next morning, Eina woke Aston up early, and they headed towards the Guild. The new adventurer consultant who attended to Aston was Eina's friend, Misha. With Eina's presence, Aston's level registration went very smoothly.

Misha was shocked to learn that Aston had risen to Level 2 within half a month, her eyes filled with disbelief. But after repeated assurances from Eina, Misha finally believed it and updated Aston's level.

After leaving the Guild, an image of Aston, along with a record of his "experiences," was posted on the Guild's notice board. Soon, the news of Aston's rapid progression from Level 1 to Level 2 in just half a month spread throughout Orario. In no time, almost everyone in Orario was discussing Aston.

The buzz didn't stop there. As time passed, the whole city became aware of Aston's existence and his breaking of Orario's record for the fastest level up. The idea of advancing from a novice adventurer to Level 2 in just half a month was astonishing.

Adventurers and gods alike became increasingly interested in Aston.

Unaware of all this, Aston was being led around by Eina after leaving the Guild. They headed to the fashion district because Eina had noticed that Aston always wore the same white training outfit and had only one set of casual clothes.

She insisted on buying him several new outfits. Coincidentally, Aston had given away the clothes he previously bought to the Xenos, so he didn't mind going along with Eina to shop for new clothes.
