Is It Wrong For Me To Start With Three Skills In Danmachi ?!

Thus, Fron's development ability screen became one of the most luxurious in all of Orario: "Mystery,", "Smithing,", "Magic Conduction,", "Healing,", "Abnormal Resistance,", "Escape."

------------------------------

After finishing with development abilities, next comes magic and the skill column.

Magic isn't really a big deal for now, because thanks to "Scholar," he can learn other people's magic, so it doesn't have much impact on his strength. Besides… magic awakened based on one's own potential is unlikely to be ordinary.

So, that just leaves skills…

"Tut tut tut, a new skill appeared, and it's a rare one."

"?"

Behind Fron, who couldn't see it, Loki's divine eyes opened, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her face showing a mischievous expression.

"This…"

"Stop with the riddles, what's going on?"

"Forget it, see for yourself."

"By the way, your Magic Conduction and Healing both leveled up. Too troublesome to explain one by one, so just look at your own status sheet."

"Alright."

After copying the status sheet, Loki handed it with a smile to the eager Fron.

"I thought you could stay calm every time your status gets updated?"

"Well, a new skill appeared this time. Of course I'm curious."

...

[Name]: Fron Argon

[Level]: Lv.4

[Status]: Strength: I0 | Endurance: I0 | Dexterity: I0 | Agility: I0 | Magic: I0

[Development Abilities]: "Mystery H" "Smithing G" "Magic Conduction H" "Healing H" "Escape I" "Abnormal Resistance I" 

[Magic]: "Surtr"

[Skills]: "Reader" "Scholar" "Infinite Super Magic" "Magic Dominator"

"Magic Dominator?"

Fron looked at the new skill and muttered quietly.

"Ah, skills and magic are crystallizations of wishes, or rather… manifestations of obsessions?"

"You must've gone through something that allowed this kind of crazy skill to awaken."

"If Riveria finds out about your skill effects, she definitely won't stay calm!"

"..."

Fron was no newbie anymore, so he didn't believe a single word Loki said.

"This skill is strong, yes, but its trait… it's completely-"

"There's probably only one time you'll activate it."

Loki patted his shoulder meaningfully:

"Of course, when you're fighting for your life, that's when. It's basically a trump card."

Indeed, it was a life-or-death skill.

Loki's expression was subtly meaningful with a hint of nuance.

"With this skill, all that's left for you is to raise your stats to their limit, and then everything else won't be a problem."

Fron silently grinned.

"Shh, keep it low-key."

Loki looked at him full of disdain, then, thinking of some trouble, complained irritably:

"Low-key, my ass! You're already a famous adventurer. In all of Orario, even in the nearby towns, who doesn't know you?!"

"..."

Thinking back, things always seemed to happen outside his plans. Before coming to Orario, he had already planned out how he'd do things afterward: grow stealthily, stay low-key, play it safe.

At first, it went well.

After soloing a strengthened saber-toothed tiger and rapidly growing stronger, he quietly advanced to Lv.2, and no one really knew. Everything was progressing smoothly, just as expected.

But once he reached Lv.2 and began exploring the dungeon, things started becoming impossible to hide.

Among adventurer parties in the "upper" and "middle" floors, he'd run into people, and anyone with some insight could tell his strength was extraordinary.

Strong people naturally get noticed, because normal folks know better than to mess with them.

Then came the "Black Flame Demon" massacre incident at "Monster Party" on the 13th floor.

After that, news about him exploded, and some familias even desperately tried to dig up information about him under the influence of their gods' interests, only stopping reluctantly after learning he belonged to the Loki Familia, thanks to Loki's authority.

Because of that, the completely clueless Fron unknowingly dodged a disaster.

And then, the solo floor boss subjugation incident happened, and at that moment, Fron's name became known throughout the city.

Reflecting on everything over the past year and where things went off track, he sighed with a conflicted face.

"Well, it's too late to fix it now." Loki waved impatiently.

"Go on, go on. I still have to update other people's status."

"Yeah, with such a big familia, being a god isn't easy, huh? Must cost you a lot of divine blood every day."

"So annoying, shut up already!"

"Hahahaha."

...

...

When Fron came out of Loki's room, he saw Ais waiting for him outside. The girl didn't say a word.

Her exquisite, expressionless face still showed her feelings through her eyes.

Fron blinked and smiled lightly.

"Leveled up, Lv.4."

"Congratulations."

"Let's go!"

"Mm."

Their conversation was that simple. The emotionless girl expressed her heartfelt joy for the young man's level up with just a few short words.

Amazing, isn't it?, Unknowingly, Fron's bonds with the girls, with his companions, had grown even deeper.

Today's weather is great. From the mansion's long corridor, the clear blue sky is cloudless.

The warm breeze brushed against the cheeks, and the fragrance of flowers and grass that came with each breath made one feel refreshed and at ease.

The two walked side by side along the stone corridor, saying nothing, just walking slowly like that, the atmosphere rather subtle.

The same blonde hair, the same golden eyes, one wearing a white dress, the other dressed in black clothes, made passing companions sigh involuntarily at the sight of them.

A perfect match, in the literal sense.

Previously, Fron had become famous as an adventurer known as the [Flame Demon], a title spread widely by word of mouth, but that did not mean he could casually stand beside someone who combined beauty and strength like the [Sword Princess].

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Level is absolute.

But now, with the Level 4 [Flame Demon], along with the same hair color and eyes as the Sword Princess, just standing together was enough to give off at least a visual sense of compatibility.

They strolled aimlessly through the garden in front of the courtyard gates, like a couple on a date.

Looking at the blooming, rare and unseen exotic flowers, and smelling the clear earthy fragrance, the two stopped before a small pond.

"Fron, do you have any plans next?"

After standing silently for a moment, Ais tilted her head and calmly broke the silence.

Slightly raising his head to gaze at the white giant tower at the horizon, Fron thought for a moment and replied.

"Plans? Let me think… my staff was corroded in the battle on the 51st floor, so I need to make a new one, [Short Sword No.4] is also half-broken, and the rest of the equipment needs some maintenance. This expedition was fruitful, it gave me a lot of inspiration for forging, maybe I should upgrade them…"

"Aside from equipment, I also used up all my potions and need to replenish them, hmm… I also got a lot of drop items, so I'd like to try developing some magic items."

"There are still many books in the library I haven't read, lately I'm interested in travel journals outside the city and various racial chronicles, and of course, some books on magic, like material conversion. Oh, and about cursed tools made by sorcerers, which seem to be quite amazing, I want to study them too. All in all, there's quite a bit to do."

Ais nodded vigorously, understanding Fron's upcoming routine.

"Fron, you're really amazing, learning so much in such a short time."

Being praised so suddenly by the girl, the young man shyly touched his nose.

"It's just luck, really. I never think of myself as superior to others, and compared to real scholars, I still have a lot to learn."

Saying that, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, isn't everyone going to deal with the expedition loot next?"

Ais tilted her face, showing an extremely cute expression.

"Mm, the [Cadmus Hide] you picked up needs to be sold, and there are magic stones, and my sword also needs maintenance."

"..."

With the topic going this far, if Fron didn't take the initiative to invite her, it would seem ungentlemanly.

"I see, then I'll go with you guys. I also want to rest a bit before starting work after coming back from the dungeon. You can't always be too tense, you know. Sometimes it's good to stroll around, taste some snacks."

"Mm."

Very smoothly, the girl accepted his invitation.

...

...

When the two came from the inner courtyard to the garden, Finn and the others were already gathered there.

"You're here, then let's set off!"

"Okay, captain~~~~"

Just as the words fell, Tione instantly dashed over, making Fron's eyelids twitch.

Speaking of which, he had long heard about Amazoness warriors' traits, wild, persistent, openly chasing the ones they love, often starting with shocking words like: "Let's have children together."

As for romance? That doesn't exist.

For an Amazoness, a man stronger than them, especially one who defeats them with overwhelming strength, would instantly ignite their love, making them cling relentlessly to that man.

Tiona was fine though, innocent in personality and nothing like a typical Amazoness…

As for the others, Fron stayed far away.

Speaking of Orario's super-famous Pleasure Quarter, it's not that he didn't want to go, he just didn't want to run into the [Ishtar Familia], that would be a disaster.

"Riveria, Gareth, and I will take the magic stones to the Guild Headquarters for exchanging it. How about you all? You should have plans, right?"

"Ah, we're going to sell the [Cadmus hide] for a good price first, then I need to forge a new big double-edged sword~ Poor [Orga], it died just like that, boo-hoo-hoo!"

"Stupid Amazon, I warned you before, didn't I? Who told you not to listen?"

"You dumb wolf, are you any better? What about your [Frosvelt]? It's broken too, I wonder how Tsubaki will mock you, hahaha…"

"You…"

In the team, Tiona and Bete were quarreling again.

Seeing them like this, everyone smiled slightly, since these kinds of daily squabbles were nothing new.
