Bell has reached C ranks in his stats, and B rank in Agility.
It is even faster than his anime growth, because he is also wearing a certain choker.
Hestia even made a bit fun of me, calling me an 'older man with slower growth than younger people'. Or maybe she liked it when I 'punished' her. I did reach S rank stats in Level 2, and Level 3 monsters were starting to be too easy. Yet Bell will grow even faster.
Not to mention his mind is far more stable now, since Bell got married and such.
"Should we get married too?" I asked my girls in the morning.
Hestia became so flushed one might think she caught fire inside, while Lisa just nodded. "I thought it was a given. Since we're...you know. Bound at the hip and soul."
The Goddess sighed. "I pronounce you two married." yet declined to acknowledge my marriage offer. Perhaps mortals were not supposed to marry Gods?
My eyes glinted.
Then my screen opened unexpectedly.
*Surprise!
-You will transfer to Earth in 60 seconds. Bound items will return to your person. Companions will join as well.
P.S: This is not a punishment, but a reward for a job too well done. Ehem. Evilus was supposed to be Bell's main enemy...let him have Knossos at least.
Lisa read my screen and sighed softly.
"I guess this is it, for now. Hestia it has been a pleasure, but it is time to return to our world." she spoke in a tender voice.
"What? Is it because I didn't say yes? Because I will. Damn all the rules..." Hestia cried and hugged me tight.
"There's something else at play, my love. But we'll find a way to return one day. Bell will make a great Familia Captain, even if his choices will seem dubious at times. And Hermes will help..." I mumbled in slight shock, just as the world shattered and I returned to Earth, but not at home.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
The Richat Dome in Africa is quite famous, since it looks like an eye from outer space. And was likely the site of Atlantis, long time ago.
But now, it was also the site where the Dungeon from my CYOA had appeared, pretty much identical to Orario, with a deep hole circled by a wide path going towards the First Floor.
"So this is your world? I thought you guys had cellphones and civilized stuff." Lisa wondered as she took in the sights, desert and salt all around, with the Atlas mountains visible in the distance.
"Mauritania is a poor place. They still have legalized slavery and such." I grunted while opening my game screen.

"I think our Falna is disabled on Earth." I noticed with my genial brain.
"You think?" Lisa asked me a bit rhetorical.
"On the other hand, the Goliath was not killed here." I pointed out with a glance towards the deep hole, while unlatching the choker and passing it to her.
"So, I am Lisa on this planet. Are you going to marry into my name?" she asked while holding her hands out for me to hand her the spear and shield.
"I don't want to think about privacy stuff, NSA or CIA and all the nasty stuff. I just want to kill monsters." I grumbled while walking towards the Dungeon.
As we entered the Dungeon, Lisa took point, stabbing goblins and stunning Jack Birds, while I collected the loot into my inventory.
We had a lead for now, but soon enough satellites will detect the change, and then helicopters and troops will arrive.
But while guns would still kill Level 1 monsters with ease, any Crystal Mantis from Floor 13 would have higher armor than a medium tank.
As for our 49 Endurance, it was possible we were already immune to anti-tank missiles.
The entire Earth will suffer a wake-up call soon enough.
