A status panel that only he could see popped up in front of him. Lain's eyes lit up, and a surge of heat spread throughout his body.

...
Lain looked at his status panel and was shocked. "Is this a gift from God?"
He had suddenly become a Level 1 adventurer!
It seemed the system had become his god. Looking at his ability values, he had all "I" stats.
Adventurer's basic abilities ranged from 0 to 999 and were represented by letters from I to S, spanning 10 ranks (I: 0~99, H: 100~199... A: 800~899, S: 900~999).
As Lain hurried back to his residence, he explored his system. It wasn't complicated; he had received a divine favor that allowed him to run instance dungeons, fight monsters, and rank up.
[Demon Slayer Dungeon: Hunt down Upper Rank Two, Doma. Reward: 600 attribute points and a Bronze Treasure Chest!]
[Attack on Titan Dungeon: Wall Maria is about to fall! For each Titan killed, you will be rewarded with 30-100 attribute points based on the Titan's physical abilities. A special reward will be triggered when you kill thirty Titans!]
[World Dungeon: Akame ga Kill!]
...
Lain's interest grew as he looked at the list of dungeon quests.
When Lain returned to his humble abode, a tent pitched on the wide street of a residential area, a pleasant aroma wafted toward him, and he instantly became alert.
There's someone inside!
He carried most of his valuables with him, yet someone still dared to trespass on his living space. Just how desperate was this person? Lain curled his lip.
When he peeked inside, he froze.
A blonde, elven girl lay on his bed. Her pointed ears were prominent, her eyes tightly closed, and her brows furrowed. Her beautiful face showed signs of struggle, and she occasionally let out painful groans.
Lain was so stunned by the elven girl's unparalleled beauty that he couldn't help but gape.
The countryside couldn't compare to Orario, the center of the world.
Having lived in the countryside for over a decade, Lain had only seen a handful of elves. But since coming to Orario, his eyes had been thoroughly opened; there were countless naturally beautiful girls here. No wonder everyone looked for an encounter in the dungeon.
Wait a minute! This person looked so familiar.
Ryuu Lion!
The former adventurer of the Astrea Familia, a Level 4 known as Gale.
Lain's breathing became rapid, and the sudden change in his breathing rhythm startled the elven girl on the bed.
She suddenly opened her eyes; Revealing a complex mix of emotions: pain, sorrow, and anger...
Bang!
The elven girl grabbed a fruit knife from the side and leaped off the bed like a mother leopard, the bed frame creaking under the force. Lain looked utterly dejected, thinking, My brand new spring mattress!
One was Level 4, the other Level 1. There was no suspense at all; Lain couldn't even see her movements clearly.
A golden phantom flashed before his eyes, and Lain's face froze as a sharp fruit knife was pressed against his throat, the silver blade gleaming coldly.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Lain's forehead. His luck couldn't be worse than the mc in Verse7's novels.
Ryuu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, her small face filled with chilling intent. "Did the Rudra Familia send you to hunt me down?"
"I don't know any Rudra Familia."
Lain slowly raised his hands, gesturing to her. "You slept in my bed, and now you want to kill me? Is this how elves behave?"
"Is this your residence?"
Ryuu's gaze moved to the large bed.
As an elf with severe mysophobia, it was almost impossible for her to sleep in someone else's bed.
But this place was truly... unique.
It was clean, tidy, and odorless. The quilts, which had been sun-dried, were folded into neat squares and placed at the foot of the bed, emitting a faint fragrance. It was even more comfortable than her own bed.
