Chapter 22 - Chapter 22. Encounter

Encounter

[And how is it?]

"I don't know; I thought it would taste awful, but it's completely tasteless!"

[Is that not good!?]

"Usually yes, but I wanted to taste something after so much time."

[Maybe you can't taste the flavor because you are now a monster! But I personally think

It's [Sin Of Gluttony]'s fault.]

"Why so?"

[Because for every sin-related skill, the user loses something; for you, it was your taste.]

"This is such a huge side effect! Anyway, let me check my status before we go any further in this hallway."

[*******]

"...Ehm [Global Wisdom], can you please show me my real status!"

[...]

"I mean, it will be nice to be so strong, but come on, I'm just a D-rank monster; it's literally impossible that at level 35 I have the same stats as an S-rank or higher monster, right!?"

[Ham!]

"Yes..."

[The thing is...]

"Yes!..."

[...]

"Yes! What is the problem?"

[It's because of the title [Only Daughter Of The Goddess*****].]

"I KNOW IT! YOU TWO CAN'T DO THINGS IN THE PROPER WAY."

"...Sigh, what does it really do?"

[Ehm!]

"I don't believe it just adds 100 to a random stat and multiplies it for each level."

[Ehm!]

"Tell me!"

[It allows your mother to interfere with your system.]

"Ahhh! Give me more details."

[You know that your system is new.]

"Yes, and what does it have to do with this situation?"

[Basically she is deciding how much EXP you are receiving from the monsters you kill and how your stats are growing!]

"Why is she doing something like this?"

[Because if she doesn't do it, you will still be at level one.]

"Why?"

[You did not decide how much EXP each monster will give and how much your stats will grow.

To make you an example in the Aesir system, you will never see such a high requirement of experience to level up!]

"I got it, but can't I decide it now?"

[You can't because you don't have any divinity!]

"Ahh, this is such a headache! Now how do I even make so much exp for the next level?"

[For that you don't have to worry; since she is the one to control the system for now, you should be able to make that much even with a weaker monster.]

"Sometimes I truly don't get you two. Why hide something like this from me?"

[Sorry!]

"I mean, I am okay with her controlling my system for me for now, but come on, this is way too much."

[Indeed, I can't say too much about it, but there is a reason for this!]

"Really, I have literally the stat of an S or above rank monster, and I am just a D rank monster. How can I be relaxed?"

[I can simply tell you to look at the [Fallen Angel] ⁣title for now for different reasons I can't tell you too much, sorry!]

"Is there more that you two are hiding?"

[...]

"Ahhh, okay, let's move on. I want to get the weapon and get out of this place, since I will also need to get used to those new stats."

After sighing a last time over the abnormal stat growth, I tried to focus on something else.

Most of my skills were almost at max level; some of them already were.

"Hey, where are the skills I obtained from the spiders general?"

[Some of them you already had the inferior one, so they simply evolved; others can not be learned for the moment.]

"And when will I learn them?"

[Once you evolve again, the skills that you could not learn will be automatically added to your stats.]

"I see. Well, let me take a break before moving further in the hallway."

[Since for now there are no spiders, I think it's the perfect idea.]

While sleeping, I was hoping to talk with Mother again, but sadly nothing happened.

Once I woke up, I started walking deeper in the hallway until I was in front of the second door.

"All right, here we go again!"

[Are you ready?]

"Let go!"

I shouted before opening the door and walked through it.

Once I was on the other side, the door suddenly closed behind me.

"Well, it looks like we can't go back anymore."

[Then let's just go forward.]

"It's not like we can go anywhere else."

I spread my wings and began to fly. Well, I wanted to move as quickly as possible to the deepest part of the hallway.

"Something is off here!"

[What is it?]

"I mean, where are all the spiders?"

[Now that I think about it, we still have not met any since we came here.]

"I am not the only one that finds this sus, right?"

[No, it's really way too quiet.]

I was flying for around an hour, and we still didn't encounter any spiders, and the thing that worried me the most was my skills were not detecting anything.

"This is so weird!!"

{What?}

"The fact that there are no monsters, but I already told you that."

[I didn't say anything you know.]

"Then who talked just now?"

I looked around me, but I was not able to see anything out of the ordinary.

{It was me!}

The same voice answered again. I turned around to look at my front, but I was still not able to see anything.

{I am up here!}

"What the fuck!"

Looking upward, I could see a masked girl standing upside down on the ceiling staring at me, but she didn't seem to have bad intentions.

Instead...

"Were you the one that talked to me earlier?"

The girl didn't say anything; she simply nodded her head up and down as if to confirm.

"Why did you help me?"

{They were acting strangely; they were not listening anymore!}

"What do you mean? And who are you?"

{I gave them the order to bring you here, but not to attack you!}

"I see for which reason you wanted me here."

{...To answer my doubts!}

"If it's something that I can answer, okay!"

The girl started coming down. Looking closely, she looked like a fourteen-year-old; her eyes were red, and her hair was white like her skin and clothes, but what surprised me the most were her six arms. Sadly, I could not see her face because of the half mask she was wearing.

"Well, I already imagined that, but it still surprises me that you are not a human."

{If so, I'm not even a normal monster!}

"What are you then?"

{...}

"Anyway, what was your question?"

Instead of answering, she turned around and waved her hand for me to follow her.

"Where do you think we are going?"

[Most probably to her home!]

[Keep your guard up!]

"..."

"I don't think she has any bad intentions towards me..."

After walking for a while, we reach a wide area with a palace in the center.

"What is this place?"

{My home}

"How come such a place is inside a monster?"

{Hmm? What do you mean, inside a monster?}

"I will explain to you later!"

{Okay!}
