As I opened the door to my bedroom, I noticed Alex lounging in some very sexy lingerie. I smiled and pounced on her. Sophie frowned, looking quite jealous, but I smiled at her and said, “I’ll get to your turn later.” And so, we began another passionate night—or rather, another passionate three days. Hey, I went 200 years without sex; you’d be pent up too! Hella went crazy, precisely because of how pent-up she was—I mean, a thousand years without sex. Maybe I’ll make her one of my wives.

Sophie looked at me and said, “Wives? But they can never be the head wife.” I smiled at Sophie and thought, We might get the goddess Hella. Sophie gave me a thumbs up, saying, “That’s actually not a bad idea.”

I continued to play with Alex, and after I was done with her, I moved on to Sophie. Honestly, my libido is insane, but then again, it has been 200 years of being pent up. That’s just an excuse, though—I know I would have been pretty wild even without the years of abstinence, but it seems to have only made it worse. Naturally, once we got up, we headed to the bath—well, the hot spring. I wonder what kind of magic they were using because this is not a natural hot spring. I need to inquire about it to improve our Roman-style grand bath in our house. Yes, it was overly luxurious and grand, something you might see in an ancient Roman bathhouse. Anyway, after the bath, I had Sophie open up a portal to Rimuru’s office and gave him the tim tam recipe by telepathy in exchange for a large amount of gold. I’m not really sure how much it was.

Anyway, we were off to the dungeons. Rimuru warned me not to use my unique skill in the dungeons, and I assured him I wouldn’t. This is because it burns everything indiscriminately. While I didn’t mind using it against enemies, the dungeon's resurrection function couldn't revive people if I burned their souls. Not to mention, I’d also end up burning my bracelet and my nice clothes. Yes, I had already collected my nice clothes—they were surprisingly fast at making them.

At the moment, I was in the forest city, specifically in one of the elf bars. This entire floor was a safe zone. It would be so much easier if I could use my unique skill. The bartender, who was an elf, inquired as to why I couldn't use it, so I explained how it worked. Traps like the oxygen trap don’t affect Sophie or me since we don’t need to breathe. So, I don’t even need to worry about those; the other traps can only slow us down at most.

The monsters are all pretty strong, and the bosses are overpowered as hell. I had no choice but to use my Twilight Staff. After slamming my mug onto the counter, I returned to the dungeon. Holy shit, Zegion kept one-shotting us, even without having the poison resist skill. I could drink an ungodly amount of alcohol, but even with Sophie and me teaming up, we couldn’t take out the strongest bosses—Zegion kept one-shotting us. I wondered what Alex was up to when Legion walked into the bar and asked why I was holding back. I’d lost track of how many times Zegion had killed me; I think it was around 200. I explained to Legion how my unique skill works and why I wasn’t able to use it in the dungeon since it went against the spirit of the dungeon.

I specifically limit on my self when i fight. Additionally, I don’t allow my flames to burn for too long since, if left unchecked, they could reduce the universe to non-existence. This is why I always dispel my flames after they’ve served their purpose. Simply put, I just don’t have enough control to confidently use them in situations where I’m not trying to kill my enemies. But if it evolves into an ultimate skill and I gain greater control, then I’ll use it more freely. we'll have a rematch one-on-one Zegion nodded and left.

I decided to take a break from the dungeon and learn some crafting techniques. Crafting skills fuck that is confusing, so I’m sticking to the term "techniques" from now on to avoid mixing them up with actual skills. I decided to start with blacksmithing. Rimuru gave me quite a bit of freedom—as long as I wasn’t doing anything that would cause him problems, he didn’t seem to mind. Anyway, I wasn’t naturally talented at blacksmithing, but thanks to not needing to eat or sleep, I could work non-stop and improve quickly. Of course, I’d just use a quick clean spell on myself so I didn’t stink.

Enchanting was fundamentally different in this world. The first method involved pouring a ton of Magicules into an item and then imbuing it with a skill. The second method involved sealing a spell into an item. This method of enchantment would degrade over time, but it offered greater versatility.

With the second method, you didn’t need a specific skill to imbue the item, unlike the first method. Instead, you just needed to learn a spell and then seal it into whatever you were enchanting. I wanted to see if I could combine this with my runedek enchantment method, so I began practicing blacksmithing while incorporating all the information I learned from my failures. Of course, I had to create the swords I was trying to enchant using both methods, and I also got into making axes, spears, and various other weapons. I even made plate armor. This world did have runedek enchanting, but the runes were different. However, this method was rarely used. It was employed in certain areas around Tempest, where they seemed to engrave the runes on magic stones. There were also glasses like this, but it was a very uncommon method and only used on very specific items.
