Danmachi: The Sign In System!

Chapter 63 - Familia's Growth

Holding the parchment in his hand, Orsted's eyes lingered on his Development Ability.

Previously, he had sparred with Ryuu, a Level 4 adventurer, leaping three levels to challenge her.

Under the effect of tenfold boost, his Development Ability had jumped from I to H.

Now, he had leapt four levels to spar with Ais, advancing it further from H to G.

The difficulty of increasing a Development Ability increases with each rank.

For example, Riveria had gained her first Development Ability, Mage, upon joining the familia.

Yet, after thirty years, it had only risen from I to E—a mere four ranks.

In contrast, Orsted had advanced two ranks in just a few days.

This rapid progress was undoubtedly due to the tenfold boost, but the act of leaping levels to fight adventurers far stronger than himself played a crucial role as well.

Orsted had unlocked the Leap Development Ability as a Level 1 adventurer after slaying those Minotaurs.

This feat had been recognized by the Falna.

After two consecutive fights, Orsted had pinpointed its exact effects and the conditions for use.

The higher the opponent's level, the greater the power he could wield, and the more exp he earned, accelerating his growth.

It was an ability tailored for ranking up through overwhelming challenges.

'Fighting Level 5 adventurers gives rewards like this.'

'If I take on Level 6 or even Level 7 opponents, won't i rank up even faster?'

Orsted murmured to himself, stroking the parchment as names surfaced in his mind: Finn and Gareth of the Loki Familia; Allen, Hedin, Hogni, and Ottar of the Freya Familia—the only melee adventurers above Level 6 currently in Orario.

After a moment of contemplation, Orsted set his thoughts aside.

Glancing around the empty hall, he stood and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Orsted's cooking skills were neither exceptional nor poor; the foods he made were decent enough.

Sometimes he'd bring food from outside, but occasionally he cooked himself.

Back in the church, there'd been no proper kitchen—just a makeshift stove.

Chopping vegetables on bedside table had been a hassle, limiting him to simple dishes.

Now, in their new residence, he had the freedom to cook as he pleased.

During the process, Hestia and the others poked their heads into the kitchen.

Seeing Orsted cooking, they offered to help, but he shooed them out.

Hestia and Lili were utterly hopeless in the kitchen—technically capable of cooking, but the results were disastrous.

Tifa, however, was quite skilled.

She'd handled the cooking when they camped in the dungeon the previous night.

Still, Orsted didn't let her stay, instead instructing all three to wash up and join him for dinner later.

Half an hour later, Orsted, Hestia, Lili, and Tifa sat around the table, laden with several appetizing dishes.

"It smells amazing~~ As expected, Orsted's cooking is the best!"

Hestia exclaimed, eagerly grabbing her cutlery and digging in without a hint of decorum.

Table manners were a foreign concept in the Hestia Familia.

Seeing Hestia's enthusiasm, Lili quickly joined her, worried that any delay might leave her with scraps.

Orsted and Tifa, however, didn't rush.

Even as the food vanished rapidly, they ate at a leisurely pace, unconcerned about going hungry.

Soon, the meal was devoured.

Looking at the satisfied faces of those slumped in their chairs, Orsted stood to clear the tableware as usual.

But Tifa beat him to it, gently pushing him back down.

"I'll handle it," she said.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Tifa," Orsted replied with a gentle smile, not protesting.

"Mhm." Tifa nodded with a smile, then tossed a piece of parchment to Orsted before starting to clean up.

Orsted caught it, intending to ask something, but his words caught in his throat as he read the contents.

Tifa's status was unremarkable compared to Orsted's explosive growth.

Her two days of adventuring had raised her basic abilities by nearly 400 points—impressive, but no magic or skills had emerged.

Yet, this was only "ordinary" next to Orsted.

For anyone else, such progress would mark her as a prodigy among prodigies.

Who besides Orsted could achieve this in a single day?

Orsted, however, wasn't surprised by Tifa's rapid improvement.

She'd been practicing Sun Breathing lately, and had faced Minotaurs head-on from the moment she became an adventurer.

It'd be odd if she didn't improve this much.

"It looks like I need to craft another grimoire soon for Tifa and Lili. I can't play favorites," Orsted muttered to himself, noting Tifa's zero Magic stat among her otherwise stellar numbers.

Just as he finished, another parchment appeared before him.

"Here, Orsted-sama," Lili said, leaning across the table with one hand extended, a parchment pinched between her fingers.

Orsted nodded gently, took it, and began to read.
