Detesting The System: Sundering Fate

"Huh?" Hestia, probably still half asleep asked as she yawned and wiped the muck out of her eyes. After repeating my predicament as I brought her a glass of water, she froze, cleaned her ears and asked once more for me to repeat myself. Then, as I said, "Update my status please, I'm ready for Level Tw-" I didn't even get the chance to finish my thoughts before I was met with her crying as if the world was ending.

"Don't be silly, Keter. Ahah… It's been less than two weeks since you joined me, there's no way..." By this point she had already gotten on my back and was looking at my updating Status. She must have been spooked to the core of her being as she let out a ghastly wheeze before yelling at the top of her lungs, "THIS SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE."

Waiting patiently, Hestia eventually finally imprinted my Status onto a piece of parchment so that I could finally react and to keep the facade up, I said, "I can't believe those pills worked this well..." I then further elaborated, albeit through a lie, about how I felt I had reached the limits my body could handle as a Level 1 after taking the pills I had 'just so happened to luckily concoct.'

Hestia looked at me like I was some sort of taboo existence while Aisha was riled up from all the yelling. With her waking up, I happily cheered, "To the Dungeon! I've been gone for far too long!"

...

Now in the eight floor, I was humbled over the growth of my own strength. "Holy shit..." I muttered under my breath. I even without Aisha's help, it was beyond easy cutting through the hordes of enemies that spawned around me. Even new enemies which were totally foreign until this day like the Killer Ants, Needle Rabbits, Blue Papilio, and Purple Moths were but fodder to my improved strength and gear.

Descending deeper, if only until I felt a challenge, Aisha and I found ourselves in the tenth floor before I finally stopped being able to one-shot everything in sight. Additionally, as the tenth and eleventh floors were known for the perpetual mist that inhabited them, I had to be more careful; Aisha… not so much. Unlike me, she could reign supreme even without any gear, but under my request, she didn't subject to supporting me in battle.

There, in the tenth floor, I indulged in slaughter against the large monsters that had begun to spawn such as Orcs and the numerous small Imps and Bad Bats that accompanied. When large battles concluded and I was given a couple breaths worth of time to harvest herbs, Aisha walked around collecting monster drops and cores.

As I had just Leveled up, my Stats were once more quick to increase in rating as I had much potential to be unearth. But more importantly than all that, after attempting to restore my Magic reserves for the first time in the tenth floor the most beautiful notification rang through my consciousness…
