Hey guys,

I've been reviewing Jaune's stats and realized I've made a mistake.

After his first evolution, I forgot to adjust the acquired stats per level up, making him weaker than he was meant to be at full power.

After evolving, Jaune was meant to have a 1000 stat points increase in each, not the usual one that had been doing.

Thus, this is his new stats as it should be:

[Jaune Arc

Occupation: None, Level: 1, Race: Human II (Transcendent Species)

Mana: 620000(100), Attack: 629000(100), Defense: 620000(100),

Agility: 644000(100), Intelligence: 538300, Luck: 521900,

Divine Energy: 15,000/15,000 (50/50)

BP:0]

This ensures you all know why he suddenly had extra stats later.

Jaune woke up the following morning. He took a long hot shower, refreshing his body. As he got out of the shower, he dried himself and went to the sink to brush his teeth. Taking his toothbrush, he started brushing, making sure to cover all his teeth. Albeit, he didn't have to do it so thoroughly since the toothbrush he was using was special; it was something he got in the Dreamscape.

[Extreme Toothbrush: Brushing your teeth with this item will completely eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath and significantly change your teeth' color from ivory to white. It also removes plaque and tartar without missing, making the user feel comfortable and enjoy brushing their teeth]

Once he was done, he got dressed for the day. Looking in the mirror again, he started brushing his hair. One might ask, how is Jaune's hair so good-looking and silky? That's because he, once again, got the item from the Dreamscape, making it a special item.

[Brush of The Pig King's Hair: Rare drop item obtained from the Orc King. It's gentle on any hair, nourishes, and makes it shiny. It can also be used on the heads of people with thinning or balding hair to revive dead hair roots and grow the hair]

When Jaune was done, he left his room and checked on the girls, who were not yet awake. Sighing, he got to cleaning the place. It was unfortunate that the Mansion did not have a self-cleaning function, but thanks to another item from the Dreamscape came in handy.

[Broomstick of the Demon: A rare drop item obtained from King Mithril Boar. No matter how stubborn the dirt and dust are, it will clean and purify with just one sweep. The dust automatically lands on the broom, so no matter how hard you sweep, there is no need to worry about the dust flying around. Once the sweeping is done, the dust naturally leaves the broom. In addition to trash, it also can exorcise spirits and curses]

This was Jaune's morning routine since coming to Orario. It had been a while since they arrived, but the voice informed him that barely a few minutes had passed in Remnant. This was good since they did not want to miss the Vytal Festival.

Putting away the broom, Jaune looked at the tattered combat suit of the others. They needed a new one, and he planned to use some of the materials he got in the Dreamscape—most notably, the Great Tusk of the Demon King Boar.

[Great Tusk of the Demon King Boar: The great tusk of King Mithril Boar. These tusks are made up of mithril that nullifies all magic and cannot be scratched by a single half-hearted attack. Can be made into a piece of equipment that reflects magic or cut through it]

Using their old combat suit as a template for their sizes, Jaune added the tusk as a new ingredient to make a new combat suit that is more protective than the old while adding new attributes.

[Combat Suit v7: This is the seventh iteration of the combat suit that Jaune has made, which can look like anything the user imagines. Special Attributes: Magic Reflection SS+, Protection S+, Enhance Stamina S+, Enhance Durability S+, Enhance Strength S+, Slash Protection S+, Pierce Protection S+, Impact Protection S+, Auto Cleaning, Auto Repair, Temperature Regulator]

These combat suits are Jaune's best work so far. The previous one only had one or two special attributes, but thanks to the new ability he got, once he learned everything Hephaestus had to offer, his [Creation (Max)] became more impressive.

[Divine Smithing - The ability to create a piece of equipment with abilities that transcend Mortal understanding. This includes Metal Working, Wood Working, Engineering, etc.]

As straightforward as the description was, it was beyond amazing. This ability fused with [Creation (Max)].

There was a knock at the door. Jaune looked to see who it was and saw the Loki Familia with their Goddess and Hephaestus with Tsubaki. This was a daily occurrence since the day he came back from the 58th floor. Tiona would come, and they would spar. Riveria would come, but her ulterior motive is to get him to sell her some of his special ingredients.

Jaune looked at Riveria and said, "I will repeat it. The answer is no."

Riveria coughed as she blushed and said, "Ahem! I am not here for that. I only came to accompany my Goddess and ensure she doesn't do anything untoward to you or your Familia members due to who your Goddess is."

Jaune sighed and looked at the short red-haired girl, saying, "So, you're Loki-no-boobs? A harsh nickname coming from Hestia, though, not untrue."

Loki's eye twitched. She was about to explode but heard Jaune say, "Meh! You have your own charm even if you don't have the best chest."

Tiona interjected, saying, "Don't mind those things! Let's have our usual spar!"

Loki was going to say something, but she couldn't as Jaune moved to the side of the door and said, "Come in. Come in. I hope you don't mind our lack of hospitality. I'll offer you drinks, but we have none."

As they headed inside, Hephaestus saw Jaune's latest work. It was a masterpiece. She said, "Is this your latest creation?"

Jaune nodded, saying, "Yeah, it has multiple attributes such as enhanced strength, enhanced durability, etc., but what is important is the Magic Reflection."

Hephaestus was impressed, saying, "Ho! Magic Reflection, is it as it sounds?"

Jaune replied, "It is, but I have yet to test it. I planned to do it before I heard you guys knocking."

Loki saw and heard what they were talking about and said, "This is interesting. You made something that has caught the eye of Hephaestus. But why are all of them made for women?"

Jaune said, "That's because everyone in the Hestia Familia is female besides me."

Loki was going to say something, but she was cut off as Tiona jumped in and said, "That's not the most interesting thing. Jaune here is dating all his Familia members...besides Hestia-sama."

Loki was shocked, saying, "Huh? But I see seven armors. Are you saying this guy is dating at least seven women?"

Hephaestus thought, 'I wish as was one of them...What am I thinking? Jaune's already taken! Then again, he is in a relationship with multiple women. Would it be too much to be one of them?' she shook her head to get the idea out of her head.

She said, "Before you start your spar with that girl over there, how about we test the Magic Reflection on these armors? I'm quite curious how much magic it can reflect." She checked the stats of the combat suit, and she was astonished at what she saw.

Riveria said, "I'm quite curious as well. How about I commission you for one?"

Jaune said, "Sure, why not."

Riveria was expecting Jaune to reject her offer. This was a good conclusion. She said, "How much would it cost?"

Jaune replied, "It depends. If you plan to procure your own material, I will only charge you around 3M Valis. But, if you don't have the materials, you can purchase those from me for a fair price."

Riveria asked, "Would the final product be something that Hephaestus-sama also be interested in?"

Jaune said, "It would depend on the materials, but I can give you my word that I would make the most out of them."

Riveria nodded. This was not bad.

Jaune accepted the commission since he had nothing to do for the past few days. Without a template, it would take some time, and it would be something to occupy his time. Killing the monsters in the dungeon has become tedious since they are not as strong as the ones in the Dreamscape, but nevertheless, he has been going to the dungeon and killing as many as he can before he gets bored. Who knew that getting too strong would be pretty boring? Jaune now knows.

Testing the armor took no time at all. To test the quality, Jaune threw many powerful spells, with the armor showing no signs of damage. Of course, he did not give it his all since he could incinerate it with a single spell like the Inferno Annihilation.

Or so Jaune thought. Out of curiosity, he wanted to push to see what the armor was capable of, but with the combination of Protection S+ and Magic Reflection SS+, the armor was able to protect the wearer.

Tiona said, "You got to be kidding me! That thing can protect against your Inferno Annihilation!"

Rivera, too was shocked, saying, "Incredible. If the armor you create for me is even a fraction of what those armors are capable of, I would be happy."

Jaune felt insulted, saying, "A fraction? That's insulting! I will let it go since this is the first time. But there will be no next time. Otherwise, I will never accept any commission from you."

Having pride in his work is something Jaune learned from Hephaestus. When creating something, he always gives it his all. One might think that he would not need to work hard due to [Creation (Max)], but that is not in the least bit true since the ability depends on his capability in forging, his understanding of the materials being used, and other things such as tailoring, etc.

With the testing done, the training room repaired itself, ready for a spar between Jaune and Tiona.

In Jaune's Kitsune form, the spar has gone underway. An exchange of fists happened countless times. It was going well for Tiona, or she thought. She forgot that Jaune could use his tail to attack. His tail smacked her, and she lost her rhythm, which Jaune used to his advantage, hitting her repeatedly with each tail.

Tiona said with a struggle, "I-I g-give! I give!"

After Jaune stopped his assault, Tiona said, "You're brutal! I've never heard of a Demi-Human that can use their tails like you do!"

Jaune said, "I'm still not Demi-Human. I am 100% human."

He brought his hand out to Tiona, who took it to pull herself up. She said, "I need to remember how you use your tail in such an impressive manner."

If one were observant, one would have known someone was missing from the group. In the living room, Loki was with Hestia. They were conversing peacefully—a rare sight.

Hestia said playfully, "Oh, come on, Loki! Admit it. My Familia is the most harmonious and tight-knit in Orario."

Rolling her eyes, Loki said, "Please. Your little Familia is like a tiny, warm fireplace. Cute but hardly impressive. Now, the Loki Familia? We're more like a blazing inferno of strength and excitement!"

Raising an eyebrow, Hestia said, "Strength, huh? Last I checked, my Jaune has taken down some pretty impressive monsters. Don't get me started on his rapid and monstrous growth. And don't get me started on his insane abilities he has yet to reveal."

Smirking, Loki said, "Growth, you say? My Tiona could defeat your Jaune with her eyes closed."

Laughing, Hestia said, "That's cute. If I remember clearly, your Tiona, when sparring with my Jaune, has never won a single match.

Not letting what Hestia said get to her, Loki said, "You know, Hestia, you're lucky I even bother with these discussions. You've got that whole "cute and innocent" thing going for you. It's like you're the mascot of the Dungeon."

Hestia, grinning, said, "Well, someone has to bring some charm to this cold, dark world, which you don't have. And let's not forget, Loki, your Familia has its own... colorful reputation."

Loki, chuckling, said, "Charm. I remember earlier how your precious Jaune said I have a charm that is my own. And colorful, you say? I prefer to call it a thrilling sense of adventure! We're not afraid to take risks and enjoy life to the fullest."

Teasingly, Hestia said, "Ah yes, risking life and limb, that's always a great strategy. Meanwhile, my Jaune prefers to think before charging headfirst into danger.

Chuckling, Loki said, "Prefers thinking? If I remember from my Tiona, your Jaune was tackling the dungeon head-on, charging headfirst into danger."

Hestia nodded, saying, "Um! Um! But, he has the strength to do so, with those monsters posing very little threat to him."

Loki, leaning in, said, "Your Jaune is lucky to have a goddess who dotes on him endlessly. But mark my words, Hestia, the Loki Familia will always be one step ahead."

With a smirk, Hestia said, "We'll see about that, Loki. After all, it's not the size of the Familia that matters. It's the strength of the bonds within it. And the bonds of my Familia members are top-notch."

Right, their bond, Loki remembered how Tiona told her earlier that Jaune was dating the entire Hestia Familia.

As the conversation ended, Loki left, and Hestia chuckled to herself. Her playful rivalry with Loki always brings a spark of excitement to her cozy hearth.
