Three months have passed since I came to this world. Right now, I am lying on a bed with my head down, feeling a very comforting sensation thanks to the fingers that were touching my back. It was a shame that the feeling disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
Then, I sat up on the bed and received a sheet of paper from my goddess. I began to read it, and as I saw it, I looked happy, which later turned to bewilderment when I saw the last final part of the page.

I started reading the last skill over and over again in case it was a hallucination until I saw my goddess let out a small laugh.
"Don't laugh," I told her, but she just approached me with a smile and started stroking my hair, which improved my mood a little.
"I'm sorry. Your reactions are funny. Besides, I would never laugh at you. You're very talented for someone your age," she told me, but I didn't believe her because she kept stroking my head and giving my wings a few touches.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
I put on a blank expression and said, "Enough is enough." She removed her hands from my head and pouted before saying, "Okay," with her arms crossed.
I was pulling on my brown hoodie when I heard my goddess speak. "You know, Liam, I'm so happy for you. All the efforts you're putting in are paying off." I felt the corners of my mouth turn up, but I tried to stop it and I just said, "I know," before leaving.
When I walked out the door, I saw David, Milye, and Milya waiting for their turn to update their status. We updated our statuses once every two weeks and decided the order by playing rock-paper-scissors.
"How did it go?" Milye asked with an excited look as she saw me walk out the door.
I just put on a smile and replied, "I got a new skill." They were happy to hear what I said. Long ago, I had opened up enough to tell them about my abilities, not just because I wanted them to help me practice exaltation and my portals in dungeons, but also to protect themselves in case of an emergency.
The moment I explained my abilities to them, I observed their reactions to see if any of them showed envy or jealousy, but nothing like that happened. They were just happy because I told them about my abilities, which made me a little happy because I prefer to trust these types of people. Although, maybe the fact that they are still children has something to do with it.
"I'll get a skill too, just wait," Milye said challengingly. But I think her look was a bit tender, and I saw both David and Milya nodding their heads, showing they agreed with her.
She started to walk through the door, and we stood waiting for her to come out. It only took a few minutes, and we saw how happy she was with the big smile she had. As soon as she saw us, she exclaimed in a very loud and excited tone, "I got a skill!" We were happy for her.
She immediately started explaining her ability, "It's called Heavy Attack, and it improves my strength and weapon attack depending on how heavy it is." We burst into applause and watched her smug smile grow as we fed her ego with praise.
"You are amazing!" We all said at the same time because we knew that all of them also wanted to get their own skills. After all, they always saw me excited when I practiced with them in the dungeon.
This time, it was David's turn, who came out with a downcast face because he wasn't lucky enough to get an ability, and the same thing happened with Milya when it was her turn.
Abeona walked out the door and said, "Don't worry, you will have more chances to get skills in the future," which lifted David and Milya's mood.
They responded with a lot of conviction, and I think I saw a trace of fire in their eyes when they said, "We'll get it!" Maybe I'm going a little crazy from spending so much time killing monsters over and over again in the dungeon.
"How about we go back to the dungeon to test Milye's ability?" I asked with some excitement. "Milye likes heavy weapons, but due to her low strength and small size, it would only backfire, and that's why she often uses daggers. She would have to postpone using heavy weapons when she leveled up, but with this skill, she won't have to worry about using big swords except that it might be a little awkward to move due to her small size. But for that, we need to test how exactly her new ability works."
They all agreed, but David opened another topic. "We forgot something important," he said. We looked at him waiting for him to continue speaking. "Milye, you don't have any heavy weapons, and we should buy you one. We forgot about that."
"No one here uses large swords or heavy weapons. I only use daggers and a bow that I bought a month ago, and the same goes for Milya. David uses a fairly light and strong spear, and Milye only uses daggers and small swords," I added.
I nodded my head and said, "How about we go shopping in the Tower of Babel first? I want to see if I can get materials and test my skill. If we don't find what we are looking for, we can search the weapon shops all over the city."
They responded with "Okay," and we immediately went to get ready to go shopping. Since we're not going to the dungeon, the girls will probably wear nice clothes instead of armor. Maybe Abeona and Adeona will join us because they haven't been out much lately, except for Adeona, who still likes to go t
