Was it strange that my swordsman levels went up despite the fact I was using a drill? Probably. It had been some time since I was able to put on some levels naturally if leveling using a series of experience multipliers could be called natural. Lately, most of my leveling had come from using my skills passively. Although I didn’t always notice when something leveled, especially when I was busy with something else, technically every job gained experience every time you did something related to the job.

That usually coincided with battle, but it allowed for things like leveling just by practicing a sword, even if you didn’t kill mobs. Certain jobs like Merchant could level just by buying a lot of things. That’s why my merchant was now level 23 despite me rarely equipping it. Linguist was another one that continued to go up and up as I read and communicated. It was now 18.

Then there were jobs like Slave Master, Harem Master, and Pervert that seemed to just go up without any real reason. I mean, it certainly wasn’t anything I did that got Pervert up to 32. Wasn’t that leveling a bit too exaggerated? It didn’t reflect on my character whatsoever. For that matter, Slave Master being at 72 and Harem Master being at 63 were also mistakes. This game was broken.

My highest-level job at least made sense. It was True Dungeon Diver. Was there any doubt? My understanding of transversing dungeons was top-notch. I reequipped it after the battle was over, dopping White Mage after I made sure we were healed up. True Dungeon Diver was now at level 84. That was 84 skills, stat boosts, and spells aimed at helping someone conquer a dungeon. I wondered what would happen when it reached level 100. Even though leveling seemed to slow down the high level I was, if I completed any more dungeons, level 100 might not be too far away.

Although, I had to recognize that if anyone else considered completing a dungeon as a proper way of gaining levels, the entire world would be broken. Yeah, ultimately, leveling up with mobs was still the best way to go about things. I continued, focusing on increasing my sword skill as I went. I had a feeling that I would need every level I could get. Although the girls had grown more powerful, and so I had I, I was beginning to realize it was a large world out there.

The Deep was probably larger than Aberis, and Aberis wasn’t even the largest country on our continent. I was at a stage where I had grown just powerful enough to realize how much I lacked power. When I had first arrived in this world, I had considered a level 60 Knight to be the peak of this world. Now, it seemed like even the generals I envied were only mediocre when it came to the world stage.

Some had the power of blessings, those that had the power of heroes, and those that had the power of a dungeon core. You could have multiple jobs, and each job could be maxed to level 100. Someone who was truly a master in their field could have 400 levels dedicated to it, one hundred for each tier, but even that might not be their max strength. It was best to continue to grow stronger and not stagnant. Even once all of the girls were back and safe, I had a feeling there would still be future dangers. I had to be vigilant.
