Chapter 4 by yuri yuri

What's next?

Not skipping the tutorial

"Ehhhhhhh!?" Ariel finally runs out of breath, while I'm already busy getting myself familiarized with my Cheat. It seems I can subconsciously bring forth a red and blue bar on the corner of my vision that display my current HP and MP and if I focus a little more a menu appears in front of me displaying all my other Stats, along with my Inventory, a long list of Quests and Achievements that grant me bonus XP and at the very bottom there's another menu titled "Dungeon" but first I decide to focus on myself.

Before I can check my stats, a window pops out and I hear a mechanical, female voice in my head.

"Please choose your name:"

"I guess I do need another name, after all my human name doesn't have a Dark Lord vibe" I say out loud.

"You should name yourself -Lazybumm- or something like that, the hermit demon who never leaves his place." Ariel says with venom in his words.

"That's it!"

"Wait! I wasn't serious! I don't want to be the Guardian Angel of someone named Lazybumm!" He panics and pulls my arm trying to stop me.

"Not that you idiot! Belphegor! That is the demon of Sloth in some religions from Earth, it even sounds less cringy than the name from that NEET weeb that is parading herself around as the Hero." I respond to him.

"Actually, I think she IS from Japan and that is her actual name, and aren't you a NEET weeb yourself?!" He fires back at me.

"Yeah, well. Whatever! Now let's see what I'm working with." I ignore his comment and put my name in the window. Once I finish it disappears and a table with all my stats appears. Also a strangely familiar tune plays for a moment inside my head and a notification pops out:

Quest "Is your Nameday!" Finished: You have chosen name and started your journey. Reward: 90 xp [+800%]

"They weren't kidding when they said that every little thing is a quest now. So, I can save this for later and spend it on either my Race or Class Level..." I decide to experiment with that after I see my status.

Name Belphegor

  • Race: Devil (LV 1)
  • Class: Knight (Tier II, LV1), Priest (Tier II, LV1)
  • HP: 40 [+400%] 200
  • MP: 30 [+400%] 150
  • Physical attack: 40 [450%] 220
  • Spell Power: 30 [600%] 210
  • Physical defense: 30 [690%] 237
  • Magical defense: 30 [640%] 222

"I see, so being inside the dungeon gives quite a boost to my status, but I need someone else to compare them." That's when I remember about the blessing I was given and my disrespectful Guardian Angel. With a simple thought I activate my God's Eye and look at Ariel who's next to me.

"Why...why are you staring at me...! You're using God's Eye on me aren't you! Stop! That's private you pervert!" He screams at me blushing and for some reason he covers his chest and crotch with his hands as if I were using X ray vision on him.

Name Ariel

  • Race: Dominion (LV 6)
  • Class: Lord of Air (Tier VII, LV77)
  • HP: 2500
  • MP: 3000
  • Physical attack: 2200
  • Spell Power: 4000
  • Physical defense: 3500
  • Magical defense: 4500

I decide to skip his important past moments for now and I don't need a magical power to know that he currently hates my guts.

"Holy shit! You're so strong!" I let out, he could easily destroy me if he wanted, and I'm assuming the only reason he hasn't is because his soul is now bound to mine.

"I-I see that you've finally realized how amazing I am! I AM THE LION OF HEAVEN! THE LORD OF AIR! THE MIGHTY..."

"Oh, look your favorite book is here, what a weird title..."I lie to interrupt his obnoxious boast and he once again becomes the cute little angel that I'm starting to enjoy to tease.

"Wait that is not mine! One of my friends gave it to me and I didn't know what kind of book it was!" Almost crying he pulls from my arm again trying to make me stop.

"Still with your stats anyone who comes here will have no chance against you." I say, not admitting out loud that I'm actually quite happy I have such a powerful ally.

"I'm not attacking any humans! I have to assist you and defend you but I will not harm anyone fighting for the Light side and you can't **** me to!" He declares. We'll see about that, but for now I'll accept those conditions.

"Ok, but you still have to guide me and answer my questions, right? That Hero girl, I saw her class levels and the two sisters told me she was stupidly strong but do you have any idea how high are her stats?" I ask Ariel who finally calmed himself for a moment.

"Well, I've never seen the Hero myself but one time I heard another Angel talk about her. You know how humans start weaker compared to monsters right? A regular human usually has stats between 5-20 while recently spawned monsters starting stats can vary from 5 to even 50 depending on their race." He starts explaining. "However, humans are much more versatile than monsters, they can learn new spells and abilities way faster and they are able to improve their Class Level and stats more easily than monsters can increase their Race Level, a starting adventurer or soldier recruit might have their stats averaging around 30 but an experienced adventurer or an accomplished soldier can be strong enough to have their stats sitting around the 500s."

"I see, so since I'm just starting if I were to go outside, I'd struggle even against a group of starting adventurers, so I'm guessing the hero is way stronger than that right? Just how strong can one human be!?" I interrupt him, the confidence I gained from looking at my boosted stats slowly diminishing as I realize just how weak I really am.

"I'm getting there! It's rare for a mortal to grow strong enough for their stats to pass the 3000s, and until Tomoko neither Demon Lords nor Heroes ever passed over 9999 in their stats, no matter how many Blessings or means they used to increase them"

"Wait! You said -until Tomoko-? You're telling me she broke that cap!?" I interrupt him once again as my chest starts feeling heavier and heavier...

"Well...the forces of Light might have gone a lil bit overboard when we gave her our Blessings and she also picked a Cheat ability like you did... [Limit Breaker]...along with a bunch of other ones..." He finishes explaining.

"Wait...you're not telling me she..." Even my legs are starting to tremble as I realize how royally fucked I am...

"Yeah, that Angel mentioned that her lowest stat is probably around 50,000 and her highest is around 90,000."

"Motherfu-!"
