Arc 1 - Chapter 10
The next day*
(Axel: Adventurer Guild)
"You can revive people?" I look at Aqua with a serious stare, making Aqua feel a bit uncomfortable. "I did not think there was such a [Spell]. But, then again, I did remember a few adventurers were killed by that Dullahan and I still some of them these days. So it must have been Aqua who revived them."
"Pretty sure, it's a healer-related class thing." Kazuma said to me, "Also, I'm very relief Aqua had it or I wouldn't be in this world. Though, I still want a trade..." Kazuma mumbles the last part of himself, which I heard but didn't comment on as I could roughly guess what he meant.
However, Aqua heard him clearly.
"How dare you hikiNEET! I should have left you dead!" Aqua glare at Kazuma for continuing to think about the other goddess, Eris, the very same one that used her name as the currency unit, just because she was worshipped as the national religion of this world.
"Hmm. Well, I guess it's time for you to repay your debt, I hope you won't be busy for a few days." I got up from my seat, then quickly grab the back of Aqua's shirt before she could even think about escaping. "We will see you guys in a few days. Darkness, I won't be home tonight and the next few days. I'm going to force Aqua to pay the entire debt in one go instead of just using her service a few times during the week." With that said, I happily drag Aqua out of the guild while she screams for her team and anyone, but mostly at Kazuma to save her.
Sadly, for Aqua, no one volunteer to help.
A few days later*
(Axel: Adventurer Guild)
"Daisuke, I miss you so much!" Darkness said to me, as she happily hugs my left arm, giving me the feeling of her lovely breasts as it looks like her armor still not finished being repaired after it damages in the fight against an army of undead. "It has been days since I last saw you. Do you miss me too?"
"I'm pretty sure you missed me for a certain reason." I avoid answering Darkness' question and she didn't seem to care I avoided her question from the look of it. Yup, a girl like this, I would be a fool to leave alone. Maybe forming a harem again? I did it before and I can do it again, but this time with fictional girls, that has a much better body shape and kind of questionable personality. But, I'm willing to look over it due to their appearance. Yes, liking girls just due to their appearance alone is something bad to do, but that's how I am. "By the way, what's with Kazuma?"
"No clue." Darkness said honestly, not wanting to lie to her lover.
Currently, I'm watching Kazuma, who is clearly angry, with another adventurer and seems to be mocking Kazuma due to being in a party full of high-tier class members. While Kazuma has the weakest class and being a burden.
The adventurer that mocking Kazuma is a man dressed as a warrior and sitting with his companions at his table laughed with him.
"Hey, say something, weakest class holder. Really, bringing three pretty ladies around, are you planning to create a harem? And all of them have top-tier classes. You must be creating wonderful memories every day with these onee-san, right?"
Hearing this, the guild exploded in laughter. But, there are some who knew Kazuma's party and frowning as they trying to warn the guy, that is mocking Kazuma the entire time now is a bad idea.
"Hey, Kazuma, don't bother with them. I won't mind, no matter what they say about me." Megumin came over to encourage Kazuma, as she gives him a cheerful smile.
"That's right Kazuma, ignore those drunkards." Darkness cheers Kazuma up as she left her lover for a moment, to help her party leader to be a good party member. "Besides, you don't see Daisuke looking down on you for being an [Adventurer]." Darkness made to point this out as it seems Kazuma look up to her lover.
"Yeah, Kazuma, look at Daisuke, he very powerful, but not once have I seen him look down on you. Plus, the man just jealous that Kazuma has us. So just leave them be." Aqua also want to cheer Kazuma up as well.
"Glee, just because one guy acknowledges you don't mean much. I bet the guy is a pushover too." The man that mocked Kazuma started to mock me.
Kazuma, who was furious with the man, paused instantly and sit back down on his seat with a big smile on his face. Something the man and his party were confused about, but the crowd instantly knew why Kazuma is smiling.
Slowly, I got up from my table, walk over to the man that just disrespected me, with my hands in my pockets.
The whole guild went silent, as they watch me slowly walking over until I was standing next to the table of the man that just disrespected me and his group of party members.
"Mind holding this for me a second?" I pull out my left hand, where I'm holding a yellow [Spell Shard] that has been charged beforehand and I pass it over to the man, who was drunk and confused, but dumb enough to take the [Spell Shard] without asking why.
Once the man held the yellow [Spell Shard], it sets off as the [Spell Shard] release electrical currents, shocking the man for a few seconds before passing out, with his entire body covered in soot, and fall to the side, causing those nearby to look at the guy in horror as if he is dead.
Now, that I have knocked out the man. I grab him by the feet and begin dragging him away under the eyes of the crowd.
"H-Hey! Where are you taking Dust?!" One of the man's companions shouted, who is a bit taller than the rest of his party and is equipped with heavy armor and a sword.
The man, I'm dragging, going by Dust, "Well, I'm planning to cut him open so I could harvest his organs, then I will use them as bait for monsters, so I don't have to bother wasting my time chasing after them when I could just have them come to me." Upon hearing this, the crowd looks at me with absolute horror, even Darkness looks a bit ill about this. "Of course, I'm joking." I said in a monotone while continuing to drag Dust by his feet.
"Your action doesn't match what you're saying!" The other male party member of Dust shouted at me, then quickly move over to stop me from kidnapping their friend/comrade and end up dead most likely.
"Whatever." I drop the fool that disrespected me, then carefully step on the guy's face and walk away, while ignoring the fool's party members shouting at me for doing something uncalled for.
"Don't you think it was a bit too much with your joke?" Megumin asks me first the moment I return.
"Joke?" I look at the little girl with confusion in my voice before I realized what she meant by my joke. "Eh, I don't think it's that much, I mean I have done something worse as a joke in the past." And by that, I find myself very interesting in dealing with both the common scenes of bullies and victims. Both sides bring me so many reactions, that I can't stop myself from helping myself to... helping them.
"What could you do worse?" Kazuma asks me, "I mean you did shock the guy and even planned to cut him open like a frog, then plan to use his organs as monster baits. Pretty sure that worse, I could think of."
"I could just roast him alive and leave him to be devoured by monsters to act as bait for me while I prepare myself to fight a group of monsters." I said casually, then Kazuma pale right away. "There is also of selling him off to a cult, for human sacrifice for their gods or something, for some extra cash too."
"You're one scary guy, senpai." Kazuma said weakly, with both Megumin and Aqua paling as well.
"Daisuke, that's bad and cruel. As our comrade, we should be helping others not cause harm to each other." Darkness said to me, trying to persuade me to be a better person.
"Shut up, don't make me strip you naked and toss you into the street." I said to Darkness without hesitation, causing Darkness to pant upon hearing what I just said and imagine it actually happening to her, making her feel hot and bother. Something the others already used to, but they did move a bit further away from Darkness.
"Anyway, don't you guys have quests to do?" I look at Kazuma and his party, "The 40 million eris debt won't disappear any time soon."
"Wait, so Aqua paid off the 300 million eris debt after all?!" Kazuma looks at the goddess with a shocked look on his face.
"Yup." I grin at Aqua, who shiver in fear. During those few days, I have taken my revenge on her, mentally and physically. "Also the debt she owed me before sending me here." Okay, there was no debt, but there was revenge. Sweet revenge.
Aqua burst into tears as she was forced to remember what happened during those few days alone with the monster in human skin.
"What happens?" Megumin asks Aqua out of curiosity. Along with those that are listening from a distance.
"It... It was awful! He drank sake in front of me without sharing and force me to watch!" Aqua cried out in absolute horror, "And to make it worse! He forced me to pour the sake for him without even giving me a single drop!"
Everyone blankly stares at Aqua, while some had some understanding feeling, but they wouldn't react like the way Aqua is right now.
What no realized or even look closely. One can see how Aqua's body shaking in fear for a different reason.
"Anyway, shouldn't you guys go?" I said to Kazuma, "Unless you're planning to be in debt for the rest of your life?"
"Right! Let's go, guys! The faster we're done with this debt, the better!" Kazuma quickly rush off to grab a quest, but secretly, he has no desire to find out what his senpai did to Aqua nor does he want to stay in debt when someone like Aqua is free of her debt, even though the 40 million eris is supposed to be Aqua's debt in the first place, but this is what he gets for being the party leader. There's always a downside to everything.
"I'll wait here, come get me when Kazuma picked out a quest." Darkness said to Megumin and Aqua. While at the same trying to get a kiss from her lover, who was being a bit difficult for not giving her a lovely kiss on the lip.
"Alright, I shall help Kazuma to find the best quest to show the world of our glory!" Megumin became hype and quickly rush over to Kazuma, but secretly she didn't want to stay near someone who clearly would hurt others without hesitation if given the chance. In fact, Megumin would guess he would even kill someone if they piss him off enough.
Aqua seeing that she would be alone with the two weirdos, with one of them is very dangerous and has already done terrible things to her already, quickly follow the others' example and got up and left or else she ends up as a toy to that monster, she just lucky he a man of his words.
"Now, that it is just the two of us." Darkness said to me, hinting me to do whatever I wanted with her, even if there are people nearby. So, technically, we're not alone.
"Unlike you, I don't want to be seen naked in public." I said blankly, causing Darkness to blush and let out a muffled moan. "However, just wait until we go home, then I'll fill you right up. I'm sure you're dying of thirst for the past few days now." I whisper into Darkness' ear.
Darkness' body shivers in excitement and almost decided right there and then, to skip today's quest with the rest of her party and head home with her lover. After all, she has held it in for days, which is already pushing her limit and Darkness knew the only reason why she didn't just have sex with her lover in public right here and now. Is that her lover would be mad at her, which she dearly don't want to happen at all.
"Oh, look. I think Kazuma picked a quest to do. You may want to go to them and find out what the quest is." I said to Darkness, who clearly looks like she picking in between the choice of doing the quest or not today. "If you manage to finish the quest early and arrive home before eight tonight. I'll reward you the way you like it."
The moment I whispered this into Darkness' ear, she already left me and appear next to Kazuma, grabbing the quest form to read.
Watching this; I've decided to take today off and relax. I got enough [Resurrection Shards] that it could revive an entire army thrice over, which means I have enough for me to last a couple of thousands of years if I'm being wasteful.
A few minutes later*
(Axel)
After watching Darkness and her party left for a quest, which seemed to be hunting down a bunch of goblins. I left the guild building to see if there anything interesting to find in this town.
I noticed a few good looking ladies before skipping them afterward as the moment I compare them to Darkness; well, I lost interest and I suddenly realize that out of all the ladies back on Earth had nothing on Darkness' body alone. Then again, I still think this is the world of some anime or something.
While walking around, to see if anything catch my interests until I stop near a stall, which sold vials filled with an unknown yellow substance liquid.
"Hey, what are these?" I ask the stall seller, where I point at one of the twenty vials.
"Oh! These are [Skill Potions], drink one and you gain a [Skill Point] to use without the needs to level up." The stall seller explained how these [Skill Potions] are very hard to make, but not impossible and the ingredients aren't rare nor hard to get. It's just the process of making one is extremely hard to do and not many people can make it, even if one has a high level [Skill] to make it.
"There is such a thing?" I ask the stall seller, with the benefit of the doubt, since I still don't know everything in this fantasy world nor would I think it is possible for me to know everything. But, a [Skill Potion] that give me [Skill Point] without the need to level up is something I didn't think would be a thing in a fantasy world. Then again, this world is like a video game with the [Adventurer's Card] and all.
"I guess you must be new to this whole adventurer business. But, yes, there is such a thing." The stall seller chuckle, "Anyway, it will be it a million eris per [Skill Potion]."
I stare blankly at the stall seller, "I'll take three." I reach into my pocket to grab the three million eris, which is three [Mithril Coin], and hand it over to the stall seller and take the three [Skill Potions] with me.
2 hours later*
(Axel: Home)
I stare at the small box filled with [Skill Potions] and the empty crates on the side, which used to be filled with the ingredients needed to make the [Skill Potions] and its price for them is cheap too. So, I managed to make 50 [Skill Potions] within an hour, not including the three [Skill Potions] I purchased two hours ago.
Taking out my [Adventurer's Card], where I see that I have 14 [Skill Points] unused. Grabbing one of the three [Skill Potions] I purchased from before to test it out if it really works and drinks the whole thing in one gulp.
I watch the [Skill Points] went from 14 to 15, causing me to be a bit surprised that the [Skill Potion] actually works. So, I took the one I made, which in hindsight, should have tested out the three [Skill Potions] first to see it real before making my own, but eh.
So, another [Skill Potion] down my throat and wait to see the result. To my relief, it changes from 15 to 16. Meaning, I got 52 [Skill Potions] for me to use. Also, if the price I paid for the three [Skill Potions] is the market price, then I have 52 million eris worth of [Skill Potions] in front of me.
I rub my chin, wondering if there a way to increase the amount of [Skill Point] gain from drinking a [Skill Potion]. Because really, I rather not drink all these [Skill Potions], even if all of them are small and only require me just a second or two to drink a single vial.
"Well, may as well drink all of them. Just enough to get [Teleportation Magic]." I thought out loud, as I begin drinking all the [Skill Potions] while planning to make a better version for the [Skill Potion], since I don't have the time to waste drinking a single [Skill Potion] for one point until I need all the [Skill Points] I need to max out some of the [Magic] I'm planning to become a master of.
A few minutes later*
Magic Name: [Teleport]
Magic Tier: Advanced
Effect: Instantly travel to any destination, so long as the user has marked that location as a teleport point.
SP Cost: 60
[Teleport]'s Upgrade List:

Effect: Able to teleport another target to the destinations without the user going there themselves.
SP Cost: 3
Name: Multiple Markers
Effect: Able to have multiple teleport points at the same time.
SP Cost: 3
Now, I only have 2 [Skill Points] remain and I really expected my stomach to be full with all the [Skill Potions] I drank. Over 50 vials should be plenty enough to make me have to stop before my stomach burst. But, nothing changed and I didn't feel full either.
Now, that I've discovered this method of gaining more [Skill Points]. I can get more [Magic] and improve them by upgrading them to the fullest. It would be a shame to not make more, and a better version of the [Skill Potion]. Plus, this is technically not cheating if I can make them myself and paying for the ingredients. In a gaming term, this would be a pay to win.
Then glance at the empty crates on the side, which cost me a good 5 million eris for the whole thing, and I got 50 [Skill Potions] out of it. So, in a way, I made a profit if I were planning to sell them and earn 50 million eris.
Rubbing my chin, thinking if I should increase the number of quests to do, so I could gather enough funds to get the ingredients for the [Skill Potion]. I do need a large amount of [Skill Points] and my exp gains are becoming very slow at this point. Even taking on those high-level quest monsters wouldn't give me enough exp to level up all the way to the point, where I have enough [Skill Points] to have a fully upgraded both [Control of Weather] and [Teleport]. Maybe including the other [Magic] I possess, if I have the spare [Skill Points].
The next day*
(Axel: Adventurer Guild)
"And that should be the last of it." I said to the counter lady, as I hand over the goblin ears as proof of completing the last quest I have done for today, as I gather enough funds to experiment with to see if I could craft a better [Skill Potion], because spending 100,000 eris for a single [Skill Potion]'s ingredients wasn't going to do for me. Not to mention, that sooner or later the ingredients would be out and I still won't have enough [Skill Points] for my [Magic].
"Here's your reward. Come back soon." The counter lady said to me, as she passes me the reward for the quest, which I just put into my pocket right away.
I walk over to the table, where Darkness and her party is, with a sad Darkness slouching in her seat. Can't blame her since last night when she returns barely standing and pass out the moment she closed the door, which means no sex last night. Of course, after finding out it was Darkness that came in the house and not a Thief, who I may or may not end up using as my experiment subject, I help Darkness out by laying her on a couch to sleep for the night. Then, I help myself to enjoy sleeping in the big bed by myself.
"So, what you guys up to?" I sat next to Darkness, who brighten up the moment I appear and latch onto my arm.
"Planning to do a dungeon run tomorrow, how about you, senpai? Have you done a dungeon run yet?" Kazuma asks me while continuing to hold the back of Megumin's shirt, to stop her from running away.
"Don't wanna! Don't wanna! I'll lose my reason for existence if I go to a dungeon! The dungeon may collapse if I use [Explosion Magic], making it impossible to use, I'll become a normal person!" Megumin cried out, as she rather does something that's unrelated to dungeons.
"Quiet you! You haven't forgotten what you said when you joined the party, have you?! Wasn't it something like, 'I'm willing to carry the luggage or anything when exploring dungeons?! Please, don't throw me away!' Huh?!" Kazuma yells at Megumin, who looks let out a pitiful whine before lowering her head in resignation.
"Fine... I understand, but I'll really be useless, alright? I can only do things like carrying bags..." Megumin said with a bit of unease, that she couldn't use her beloved [Explosion Magic].
"Can't you lower the size of the explosions?" I ask Megumin, which may have triggered her somehow.
"How dare you! Why would you say such a cruel thing?! An explosion must be big and loud! Anything less would shame all those that walk on the path of the explosion!" Megumin started to lecture me and everyone else about how [Explosion Magic] isn't something could be controlled and should be released with all you got. Also, the bigger the better.
"[Sleep]." I cast the [Sleeping Magic] onto Megumin, causing her to fall asleep and fall onto the ground, where on the way down, she banged against the table, which made some wince. "So you mention about a dungeon?" I ask Kazuma, while I'm beginning to secretly rub Darkness' thigh, causing her to shudder and suppress a moan that closes to coming out of her mouth.
Kazuma glance at the unconscious [Arch-Wizard] in his party before looking back at his senpai, who clearly is a better [Arch-Wizard], but the sad thing is that this [Arch-Wizard] is an overpowered solo Mage and not willing to join a party.
"Actually, why do you even want to go a dungeon all of the sudden, Kazuma? If you want to explore dungeons, the party needs a Thief, alright? How about Chris? I haven't seen her around the guild lately." Aqua said lazily while resting her head on the table.
"She really busy. From what Chris told me before, her senpai who took care of her in the past was pushing all sorts of troublesome matters to her. So who knows when she comes back; however, before she went off, she taught me [Detect Traps] and [Disarm Traps], which are necessary for dungeon exploration. Christ said the types of monsters in dungeons won't change because of the seasons. That's why I thought of going into one and giving it a try." Kazuma explained, then glare at Aqua, "Also, I'm hoping that the dungeon run would give me something valuable to sell, to pay off the rest of the debt." Kazuma growls at Aqua, causing the goddess to whimper a little.
"Hmm. I honestly forgot there such a thing." I said with a hint of interesting in these dungeons. "Well, good luck." I would ask to tag along, but I got [Skill Potions] to make.
Kazuma slouch, "So, that's a no on joining with us to the dungeon?"
"That's a no." I replied, "But, after I finish with whatever I'm doing. I may tag along with your party for a quest or two. I'm curious about all the things you guys have done. Darkness wouldn't explain much due to certain reasons." I smirk as Darkness didn't say anything, or more like she couldn't. Something that Kazuma noticed and blush as he easily could guess why Darkness been quiet so long.
"Right. I'm planning to have everyone else in my party to escort me on the way there. Since I will be the only one infiltrating the dungeon. Just to test the water first." Kazuma continues off while trying not to pay attention to the little detail going on with Darkness, a detail that would require him to take a cold shower soon. "Therefore, everyone. We'll meet up here tomorrow." With that said, Kazuma quickly rushes out of the guild, with Aqua chasing after not a second later.
Megumin gave Darkness and me one look before following Aqua's example and left the guild.
"Alright, come on, Darkness. I think you know where we need to go now. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're well-rested for tomorrow." I grin at Darkness, where her face is red and her forehead covered in sweats. "And by well-rested." I lean closer to Darkness to whisper into her ear. "I'll make sure you are out cold near the end."
Darkness didn't need to be told twice and quickly drag her lover back home. As she is dying of thirst. Darkness waited long enough and won't wait any longer.
