Taking over the Abyss

51- The Chasm

It was safe to say that Signora ended up enjoying the light novel you'd given her. She'd powered through both the light novel and mystery novel you'd given her, then had the gall to demand you go find her more things to read. Though you'd initially been upset by her demands, and rightfully so, you decided you may as well find her something more. According to the guards you'd stationed to keep watch, she was easier to deal with when she was distracted.

So you ended up in Liyue's Wanwen Bookhouse on the prowl for some good ol' literature for her. Anything would do, so you tried to browse on the cheap side just to spare your wallet. The shopkeeper seemed overjoyed that you were actually buying, especially given the sizeable stack of books you'd picked out. It felt nice to spend your hard-earned mora without having to feel bad about it, too.

After leaving with your packaged bag of books, you began to wander out of the city and make way to the Chasm. Though it was supposedly closed off to regular citizens, one, you were not a regular citizen, and two, what could they possibly do if you just entered from another area? Arrest you? As far as you knew, there wasn't a prison in Teyvat that could really hold you.

So you weren't going to be stopped by some measly 'no entry' signs. Readjusting your hold on the bag, you called upon your butler, "Leiptr!"

Within just a few seconds, your faithful had appeared, teleporting beside you in a flash. Abyss magic was so convenient. As always, Leiptr greeted you with a pleasant smile, "Ah, milady. How may I serve you today?"

"Bring these to Signora's cell, please," you handed off the bag of books to him. Leiptr nodded obediently.

"As you wish, my queen," he purred, warping away to do as you told him. Free from having to hold any bags, you walked with a little more spark in your steps. Magic was awesome.

Speaking of, you were trying to grind up your Abyss Sorcery levels. The more you used it, the stronger it'd get, and the easier it'd be to use. Since there wasn't any set sort of MP system you were only really limited by your own stamina.

While messing around with small ribbons of Abyssal magic with one hand, you opened up your menu with the other. Nobody was around to see you looking like an idiot, so you were fine.

[Abyss Sorcery Lvl. 9] [Hydromancy Lvl. 21] [Dark Descent Lvl. 7] [Dimensional Rift Lvl. 13] [Abyss Resistance Lvl. 68] [Pain Resistance Lvl. 5] [Abyssal Authority Lvl. 16] [Poison Resistance Lvl. 15] [Draconic Strength Lvl. 10]

You still had no clue what the max level for any of these was, but considering how high your Abyss Resistance had gotten, 100 was a safe and fair assumption. Your Abyssal Authority had leveled considerably since you last checked which... made sense. Considering the sheer numbers you now had in Enkanomiya, maybe it was a little under leveled.

You were curious if you could still get more skills. Sure, you were still learning how to some of the ones you had, but expanding your arsenal wasn't a bad thing. You wanted another one that sounded really cool. Like [Death Laser] or a domain expansion. That'd be cool to have. But first and foremost you wanted to try improving your stats. Backing out of your advanced view menu, you secretly hoped that something had magically changed.

90/90

HP: 15145/15145

ATK: 2365

DEF: 745

EM: 198

ER: 109.6%

CR: 73.8%

CDMG: 205.6%

Having a low HP stat for the element that largely scaled off of HP was unfortunate at best. You knew that you could definitely improve your stats, especially because of the massive stat-stick that was your weapon, with a whopping 66.2% crit damage. Which meant that your artifacts had a grand total of 89.4 crit damage. Even though you ascended with crit rate, you could still push higher than that.
