=========================================
As we are going along we come across a Purple Moth. So we catch it to let the girls get 'Abnormal Resists'. We each have some basic antidotes that we bought before. From what I remember this is the easiest, and best way to get the skill.
While we are waiting I buy the 2nd part of the 'Mark' for 4500 SP... I do this now as Sage told me it SHOULD let them 'see' their status like I do...
And that's cause the 'SN'[Special Note] that I can see BEFORE buying it now, says it allows marked to use a basic/part of 1 skill of mine for a day every 24 hours... {So they can use the status part of 'Digitized-Body'}
So they COULD see their status for the day, to see if they got the skill. And this should help the others learn spells faster. Yea they can USE one, but its like pushing a button. It does not tell/show you HOW its done just the end result. But with 'Mana Sense' it should help them 'feel' the process a bit.
That's what Saya, and Yuriko theorized after I told everyone about the 'Skill Share'.
The upgrade just gave a short warm feeling, then was done. We took another 30 mins to get everyone the skill.
With that we moved on farther in. Unfortunately we didn't see any of the Blue Papilio. The guild pamphlet talks about how their drop item is use for making potions.
Four hours later we arrive at the 9th floor. I started to join the others in fighting again on the 8th, and every other fight I would toggle my 'EXP'. And man did my level shoot up its up to 83 now...
I can now learn level 3 spells... I instantly bought 'Fire Ball' for 900 SP... I have been WRECKING shop with it... Also our speed became much fast cause of that... hehe... {FUCK YOU! It's FIRE BALL!!! Now I'm a real wizard. Move over Harry!}
My MP shot up to 1005 now... Muhahahaha!!!!... {You get a Fire Ball, and you get a Fire Ball, and.....}
After a small rampage of fire I calmed down, when I felt something I haven't in a long time... 'Mana Fatigue' ugh when my MP was at 200 left... This also earned me a lecture from the girls... {WORTH IT!!}
I also got a nice chunk of stats, it's a little less the yesterday. Well except 'Magic' It got a bit more... I mean all I did was through spells so.... Makes sense to me....
BUT we did make it to the 10th floor so... The girls took over for awhile to rake in some stats too... Still no Blue butterfly thing...
The 10th floor SUCKS it's just mist everywhere, with it looking like a forest of white ash, but the trees have no leafs either. And it's full of gremlin little bastards named Imps... They throw fire and fly around... {That's my thing you bastards!!!}
This does seem to be the floor for us though, as the monsters are a challenge for even me. But as a group it's not too much, so it should help push us up a lot.
The Orcs are great to fight, as they are big and kind of slow, but have a tough hide. {Great punching bags haha} After a few hours we turn around and leave. We got some item drops as well, which was nice, and a ton of cores.
I did max out my 'Common-Mage' finally hitting level 100. I haven't picked a new Job yet, as there are 15 different choices... I did max out the first level of 'Limit Break' as well, and got the second level unlocked.
That means I can use Blade Beam after I charge the sword, but still its there. I also chose MATK Up for my level 90 upgrade... I wanted LCK Up, but I'd have to use SP to get it... I only have 450 left... MEH! I'll get more... Soon...
We made it to the guild, then sold our cores for a massive 438,120 valis NICE! Then home to get Hestia for a bit of shopping as a nice mini date with everyone.
And to end it we stopped by at Hostess of Fertility for dinner. When we entered our waitress was a brown haired cat-person named Anya Fromel.
The girls, and I couldn't help but stare, well I stared, they snuck glances. But from behind I hear teasingly. "~Nya~ It's not nice to stare Mr. Customer.~"
When I turn to look I see Chloe Rollo if I remember right. A crafty black haired cat-person. "Sorry I was really curious about her ears, and tail. I've only seen a few cat-people in passing, but never this close before."
"Nya see~. You still shouldn't stare too much.~"
She waits until I nod, then turns back to the kitchen... It seems she doesn't like me at all, as she was more focused at the table next to us, looking with hunger at some Half Pallum guy eating ...
Well it seems she is still a shotacon, so she is a big NOPE haha. Maybe, maybe not. (Could just be we simply just met I give it 50-50.) {MEH!}
The rest of the night is great. {No I didn't try to hit on anyone there... I was WITH my wives it would be an asshole move...} Saeko, Rei, and Miku couldn't resist and asked Anya if they could touch her ears/tail... She said yes... Lucky...
{I DID NOT POUT!!! I sulked its different!} BUT she seemed to take pit..*AHEM*... She seemed to think I wanted to as well so she brushed her tail against my hand when we left while chuckling... It was SUPER soft...{Fuck you! It wasn't pity... I REGRET NOTHING!!!}
After we return home without running into the Loki Familia which was good, as I would have 100% done something if Loki, or Bete talked shit. Got to stand up for my Goddess, and I just don't like Bete he is SUPER conceited... {I really don't see HOW he is still alive...}
We sit down with Hestia inside the Bus. And show our big hall, we told her about it at dinner, but hearing, and seeing it are two different things.{I knew it would shock her so we waited til we got home.}
It's safe to say I once again found the really good statue... I keep losing it though haha... Then it was time to get updated... This time I'ma catch the statue before it gets away hehe.
When she updated Saya I got my chance. I went over to Hestia giving her an appraising look while saying."You know this statue of Hestia is really good. I really need to find the marker soon, so our new manor can have a few more."
I then pulled out a feather seeing she was still frozen, and started to tickle her. That snapped her out of it as she started to laugh. (Oh? Seems she is ticklish that's good to know.)
Shame it had to end though as she managed to take my feather away. She gave me a 'Hestia headbutt' to the gut... It knocked the air out of me, as we also fell with her landing on top of me.
She then had an evil grin while saying."Oh, Clay-Kun it seems I need to teach you not to do things like that." Before I could do anything she started to use the feather on me.....
{I DID NOT LAUGH!!! NOTHING happened! Got it!?!}I was NOT saved when Saeko started to attack Hestia with tickles... NOT got it!!!
AHEM! With each of the girls done, my turn came. And this time I punished the statue, with TWO feathers... After making sure to secure my escape to the bathroom. I washed up with Yuriko who seemed to know my plan to run here... {I mean tactically retreat to another location...}
While doing some *ahem* things, we were kind of stopped by a Hestia who stormed in on us... She QUICKLY ran right back out... HAHA!!! I can hear the girls laughing as well, looks like none of them tried to stop her from coming in to retaliate.
Just before we have our nightly fun. I give the girls a stern talking too... "I love the assist really, but CHILL! It's only been two days..." This does earn me some sad looks, but I have to put my foot down on this.
I do like Hestia as she seems to be like her OG self in a lot of ways, but still. I mean she is KNOWN as one of the three virgin goddesses... I DON'T want to go too fast with her really... With this the girls should calm down atleast somewhat.
{Man I have some really great wives. I mean they are trying to make the harem bigger... That's just pure awesomeness. YES mum your jealousy tastes delicious Muahahaha!!!}
[BAD MC!!! You are only allowed your head over the wall!! NOT your whole body!!! If I see you trying to climb it again...] {I'll be good...}
Next morning was a bit awkward to say the least. But it was really cute seeing her blush a lot hehe. During our meal Saya started saying."Hestia your job today is to get workers to start building the Manor."
"Oh, okay... I can talk with the guild about starting to send workers with the amount from yesterday." She replies softly with a nod.
I next say."Hestia listen about last night. I understand it was something big to you. But know it isn't really as you are our Goddess, and part of our family now. So you don't need to worry about it okay, or atleast please try not to too much."
"I, a, I'll try..."
"There is one other thing we need, that ONLY you can do."
"Um, W,h, what is it?"
"I need you to try and set up a meeting with Hephaestus-Sama. As we would like to try and learn from her if possible. And I have something I want to ask her."
She gives me a confused look, before remembering I have the 'Blacksmith' skill. then nodding.
We then get ready to leave before I stop remembering I haven't picked my new Job yet, quickly looking at my status.
[C-Alchemist, C-Mechanic. C-Hunter, C-Armorer, C-Blacksmith, C-Marksman, C-Thief, C-Enchanter, C-Swordsmen, C-Brawler, C-Eromancer, C-Scribe, C-Pyromancer, C-Cryomancer, U-Mage]
Looking at my choices I see some I really want to argue about, but can't cause they are true.... I really want some "Holy" something... {I wanna be a badass fire throwing holy paladin damn it...} I'm thinking I won't do Mage cause it will take more to level since it will be Uncommon...
Thief, Mechanic, and Marksman I don't really need right now. {FUCK Eromancer DO NOT NEED THAT!} Scribe, Enchanter, Armor, Alchemist, and Blacksmith would all be useful for making stuff, but again not really needed much yet.
Swordsman, and Promancer are a pass for now, as I have enough power for those right now. That really only leaves Cryomancer as it's something I need a boost in the most really...
[Job: C-Cryomancer Level 1. New skill gained Cold Resistance, New spell gained Chilling Spray.]
[Cold Resistance: User is less effected by low temperatures]
[Chilling Spray: Projects a continuous stream of frost. It slows enemies down while doing damage to the target's health and stamina. It costs 100 MP per second]
The skill is okay but right now at Common-Rank-1 it SUCKS! Same with the spell it's alright but takes a ton of MP. I tested it, it can freeze a glass of water in 2-3 seconds, but not fully only about 2 inches of it from the side I cast it on...
I will need to rank them up, the resistance just makes me feel like I have an extra thin cloth in between me and the cold. {I tried it against the water I froze...}
Well they will get better with levels/time so meh. We head off, as Hestia said it will most likely take a few days to set up a meeting with Hephaestus as its not THAT important right now. {And I don't want to be an ass and just burst in...}
On our way back to the 10th floor we come across a Blue Papilio on the 7th floor, we quickly killed it, but no drop sadly... Moving on to the 10th floor. We again start to clear our way, while looking for the stairs.
I have to say Cryo was a great choice I slaughtered all the Imps we came across. It froze them solid in one second{It was "Super Effective" haha}... I did have to be careful about casting 'Chilling Spray' too much, but when they grouped up I was able to kill them all with a quick cast.
What was weird though was when they dispersed their ash had a blue tint instead of the normal white... I get its from the spell, and blue cause its cold/icy sure... But why did no other spells change the color???
When we finally find the stairs to the 11th we are all fairly drained, but we go down as the bottom of the stairs are always safe zones... Mostly...
Once rested we head deeper in. It's mostly Orcs this floor with an odd Hard Armored here and there, they are an armadillo with a hard shell but are weak other than that.
I am keeping my 'EXP' on 'World' for now as I want to hit all S stats faster, and see if I can go higher... Sage said it was likely, well 50% but still its there. This is only because of the chance my system should be able to bypass the cap, but we'll see.
With a quick stop for lunch we again move on. Two hours later we reach the stairs to the 12th. But we turn back to head towards the top. We do stay near the 11th's stairs for a couple of hours before leaving.
There were three Blues on the way back up, and we got one drop from them but still we got one. Yay... Its the wing from them, we'll wait until after meeting Hephaestus to use it.
As the plan is to go through her to have everyone learn some type of crafting skill. Well except for 'Mixing' that will be through Miach as he should still be the best in that area.
But that will wait until after we meet with Hephaestus. It's mostly Shizuka, Miku, Saya, and I that want training in mixing. Which was kind of shocking for Miku honestly, until I understood it was to mix poisons. She is really going hard at the whole assassin thing, have to admit it really suits her.
Speaking of Miku.... Yuriko has been corrupting her, with her ahem thirsty ways... NO complains from me... Atleast they control themselves when others are around, well other then the girls that is.
Selling our loot minus the wing we are keeping, we make another sweet hall of 726,400 valis... I'm going to find my Hestia statue later hehe... Must prepare, I'ma glue a feather to a stick for extra reach hehe.... First I have to buy a new feather... The girls took my other ones... for *ahem* "other" things hehe....
====================================
AN: Yo
So how you guys liking it? Haha I can totally see OG Hestia storming in not thinking about where it is before running out haha...
Just to clear up the "Cryomancer" stuff is kept with travel as it is from the main system.
Also on Hephaestus OG,Wiki both say its a deformity, but most FFs do it as a curse+deformity combo... Cause to me the combo makes the most sense. I mean if it was JUST physical it would've been healed long before now... Gods/Goddesses of Healing whatnot, magic... SO curse makes a LOT of sense... So I am going to do it that way, but if everyone hates it I can just go with something else like an incurable something or other...
AN:PS I'm add this on here... Next chapter might be fairly meh/rough... I went over it a LOT... Fried my brain so many times... *sigh* So sorry if it comes out meh I am still going back through it to try and make it better, but just warning you guys is all (>.<)

---------------------------------------
I went with Cryo as the MC really doesn't need a boost to the others, and it will level faster then uncommon. He will get the other jobs later to max out common. But it won't be until he is Uncommon and up it will help him. His skills are much higher that is why... Unless some other ones pop up.... Don't know yet.
Welp that's all from me (^.^)
