As Hestia took us to get equipped by the best Blacksmith Goddess in this universe, I met a certain Welf_Crozzo , who pounded away at mundane daggers or something.
"Aren't bored with simply making mundane stuff?" I asked the man a bit curious.
"I am not making magic swords!" he yelled at me, possibly confused.
"Who would use crap swords like that? I mean more durable stuff, adamantite or mythril perhaps. I would like a pair of great shields for example." I answered with a careless voice.
"You don't want a magic sword?" the man asked a bit more confused. Or less. Hard to tell.
I summoned my own Spirit Weapon and had it fly around a little using my Chi. "This is a real magic sword, not whatever crap you were thinking about. So, can you make a pair of big shields or not?" I asked as my weapon vanished.
Crozzo just stared in silence at me. "Adamantite, right?"
"Maybe also a triangular club made of same stuff. I should train using my weapon with my Mind only. Which leaves me a pair of idle hands..." I said in a fake whisper, and then a dramatic shudder.
The blacksmith almost shivered as well. Idle hands implied laziness. "I see. I can do that, at least." he accepted with a frown.
"And light armor for me and that girl. And I mean light. Mostly to look cool." I continued with a grin.
Crozzo glanced at Lisa who was being grilled by two Goddesses. Making a weapon which would work on an Esper won't be easy, even for the God of Blacksmiths.
"You're both Level 1, right?" the man asked to make sure.
I waved my hand carelessly. "I could fight some Level 2 monsters already. But I want to grind on Floor 11 or 12 more." I explained in a mild voice. I was a bad liar, so might as well sound good doing so.
Crozzo blinked at me, then glanced at her Goddess.
Hephaestus was also listening and she just nodded to her Child.
Maybe I wasn't completely lying then. My Black Ghost should mince a Minotaur pretty easily after all.
When we entered the Dungeon later, I held a bit of paper in hand. "Ember!" I chanted using my meager Magic.
A tiny bit of burning charcoal appeared in my hand, giving off a bit of heat and light.
Lisa did the same, flaring her Magic and casting Ember too. Hers was twice as bright though.
Oh well. It wasn't the spell damage that mattered. Lisa climbed on my back, and I took off at best speed, while Dungeon monsters ignored us via Stranger magic with a bit of Esper mixed in.
Since I had enough supplies in my inventory to last us for a month, I rushed to Floor 12 and only then stopped and let loose.
I planned to max out my Falna before going for Level 2, as to not lose precious points. One could Level up even with D stats, but having them at S would make you that much stronger later on. Foundations matter.
And while Lisa could rest and even turn off her cantrip when she got tired, I never did. Mind down from sustaining the Ember for 12 hours? Stab myself in the head, and be right back as new.
My Ajin body was exactly the cheat one needed for a Dungeon. Not to mention I didn't actually need sleep, rest, food or other consumables. The Black Matter restored me perfectly every time, including magic reserves and stamina. I only had to die often enough.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
As for the Black Ghost, it was even worse. Nothing the monsters had could even damage it, and its claws could mince a dozen monsters per swipe. Plus it was invisible to other people.
I should test that with Hestia though. Gods should be able to see the ghost, considering they kinda managed the afterlife and souls in their Heaven.
"Hey, Pef! Aren't you getting bored?" Lisa asked me after two weeks of constant fighting.
Uh? I was actually having the time of my life.
"What's better than chopping down monsters?" I asked a bit cautious.
"A bed!" she yelled at me, eyes glowing in mild anger.
I ducked under a claw and used my flying sword to chop down the monster. "Are you inviting me to bed?" I teased my companion with a giant grin.
Lisa blushed fiercely, but didn't say anything.
Uh. What a pleasant surprise! I left the ghost to deal with the monsters at my back as I approached Lisa and gently lifted her chin. Then I kissed her softly, and our minds touched.
"Wow. That felt nicer than expected..." she murmured in obvious surprise.
"And no database of germs and biological vectors appearing in your mind either." I added with a slight tease.
"Idiot..." Lisa growled as she grabbed my shoulders and kissed me again, forcefully.
"Perhaps a shower and meal before you tie me down in your bed?" I wondered as she came back for air.
"...Perhaps." Lisa offered in a coy voice, then turned away and ran for the exit.
She must be really horny. Lucky me!
Taking care to dismantle the mobs in our wake, and not create a pain train that would kill all the low level adventurers grinding in the Floors above, we made our way to the Babel exit and then back to the church.
The renovation was finished by now, since two weeks and 50000 valis were enough to motivate any repair crew. We never made it to bed anyways.
I only managed to wrap the choker around her neck, before Lisa jumped in my arms and began pounding herself on my cock with horny growls. Hours later, she slumped down tired and I carried her wet body into her bed, then turned to find Hestia watching me from the door.
"...Pef." my Goddess muttered with a displeased voice.
I touched my lips for silence, then gently closed the door to let Lisa sleep.
"Sit on the bed now. I want to see what you were up to for two whole weeks!" Hestia demanded in a cold voice.
Since I was already naked, updating my Falna was quite easy.
"Everything into C stats? You can level up already." my Goddess observed with mild surprise.
I could have level up a week ago, to be fair.
As I stared at my new Falna, I noticed the other changes.
Strength - F303 > C677
Endurance - F303 > C677
Dexterity - F303 > C677
Agility - F303 > C677
Magic - H 167 > D501
Abnormal Resistance - D
Strong Body - E
Mage - G
Swordsman - H
"Not bad." I murmured as I glanced at my paper. Maybe being an anime character was a bit over-powered.
My Goddess sighed and lay down on top of me. " I was so worried..."
"I should sleep a bit." I mused to myself, as the dream world stole me away.
