Otherworlder's Adventure In The Dungeon.

[Arc 1]Chapter 10

Hephaestus' POV

It is now the next day. I'm currently waiting for Phaes to come into my office.

While I was waiting I decided to theorize on how he got stronger so quickly.

A definite reason is because of his [Skill] [One Track Mind] however that can't be all, afterall there are few who have similar [Skills] but they haven't developed at the rate that Phaes is developing.

Another reason may be because he fights monsters that are drastically stronger than him, and if that's true then he may even be able to [Level Up] after I update his [Status].

The last reason I can think of is foolish and unrealistic, but it may be because of his pure hard work. He's a human, humans are adaptive creatures which give them an innate enhancement to their development abilities, he also has some high elf blood which explains his [Magic] prowess. Lastly, Phaes is hardworking, to the point that it wouldn't be suspicious if he died from overwork. Add all these together and you get someone who should be able to develop at impossible rates.

I sighed and I had a grim thought at the end of my thought process.

'I may have to hand him over to another familia like Loki's familia, because Freya and Apollo are gaining an interest in him.', I thought this with a sigh and my heart felt heavy when I thought about it. It always does, when your considering about using [Conversion] on one of your own children.

Freya probably won't act considering when I met her last time, she said that in two years something may happen which interests her and considering this is Freya we are talking about, it seems plausible. Freya has an amazing intuition, and this is an indisputable fact.

The problem is Apollo. Apollo is impulsive, completely unlike his sister Artemis. My familia has more wealth and necessary weapons, however his familia has more attack power. If he starts a [War Game], then not only will we lose the match, we will also lose assets, reputation and wealth.
I need to think this through more carefully.

KNOCK KNOCK

I heard someone knocking and I knew who it was.

"Enter.", I called out.

CLACLINK CREAAAAAK

I heard the door open and I saw the same blue eyed child, as yesterday.

"I'm here.", Phaes stated.

'The moment of truth is here.', I thought to myself.

You see, when adventurers obtain [Excelia] they also gain the ability to allow gods to see their history, meaning I can find out why he's grown so fast.

"Sit down and take off your shirt.", I ordered Phaes.

Phaes sat down on the chair in front of me and showed me his back, when he took off his shirt.

I held my needle and poked my finger with it, so only a droplet of blood leaked. I then swiped my droplet of blood on his back and his [Status] was revealed.

Seeing his [Status] I unintentionally sucked in a breath.
