Ember's Pov
Two years had passed since I have broken my limits and entered the realm of cheaters. The day after I got new skills, I held a party feeding all the familia members tasty food. Since I had a lot of money stored up, it was barely a hassle. Next, I tried my skills, and after three months the results were obvious.
Due to my Limit-Breaker Skill, all my parameters freely grew beyond the S999 without any problem, and the growth rate was a bit faster than I expected thanks to my second skill. It motivated me, and I ended up hitting the limit again by end of eight months. Yes, apparently falna has a second limit at SSS1599, it was a pretty odd number for limit, thankfully due to my Limit-Breaker skill, I was able to surpass them.
This time nothing grand like slaying a peak Level 3 or Level 2 was needed, however after SSS1599, to grow every point in parameter a limit was needed to be broken. It meant for growth of every point the limit equivalent to S999 was needed to be broken. Again, I went on a hunting frenzy, by now the area around the village up to several hundred square kilometers is cleared of monsters.
This time I spent another year and four months to raise my status, expecting them to rise to 1999 points however it was much harder, without my skill I would have needed to slay a Level 3 monster to raise every single point to raise my parameters beyond SSS1599, and so after some thought I decided to level up.
" Finally you are going to level up! ", Goddess Aurora said excitedly," I am very excited to see what Development abilities you might get!", she continued clapping her hands and looking with twinkling eyes. Joy was evident on her face, I smiled and laid down, with my upper half fully naked. She drooled a bit on seeing my body making me feel awkward.
Then shamelessly rubbed my back as I laid down,"~Fufu, a muscular body with six packs, however you do not have horrendous looking muscles but rather a compact body, this body can steal hearts of many women", she praised me, and I said,"Goddess!", she sighed and said," Fine! Anyway here it comes!", she prickled her finger and dropped her blood on my back.
The familiar holographic status appeared, and she updated it. Then she said," Damn! You have five Development Abilities to choose from! Wait?! You can choose two development abilities?!", she looked me with agape face. I had already expected that I might get two development abilities, however the fact that it was true, made me mirthful.
" Goddess what are the development abilities I got?", I asked her, and she came out of her shock and said," Hmm, let's see... They are Swordsman, Mage, Spirit Healing, Hunter and Mystery! I have just heard of the Spirit Healing and Mystery till now from Aschelois!", she started panting, and I was thrown into a dilemma. I didn't know why I got Mystery, maybe because of the scientific knowledge I possess.
However, Spirit Healing was also a very rare skill, Mage and Swordsman were much more common, while from what I remember one can only acquire Hunter at Level 2. According to my plans, It was more preferable for me to have Magic related skills, at first, I thought getting two development abilities each level was an extreme cheat but hearing the names of abilities I can choose from it seemed lackluster now.
I sighed and pondered for a bit,' If I can't make a firm decision, how can I get stronger? Let's go with my plans! ', I thought, which eliminated Swordsman and Hunter, leaving out only magic related skills and I finally choose," Goddess I want Mage and Mystery", I gave her the answer and she smiled as she updated my status," Done! Now see your spectacular status sheet", she said as she handed me the sheet.

3) N/A]
" Damn I also acquired a new magic, a healing magic? Let me try it, Devoid of any injuries and poison, Heal Mine Self!", a gentle yellow light enveloped me up, as I could feel my tiredness after hunting disappearing. I tried it a few more times, and realized how it worked. " A healing magic that only heals myself?", I muttered, something like this could save my neck in difficult times, after all it will be easier to chant a magic for me than to drink a potion during battle.
Now that I have levelled up, it was time- to go into a much bigger place. I took a deep breath and said," Goddess, I am planning to leave this place for a while", and she looked at me a bit sad, however her eyes tell as if she already saw it coming. " To where?", she asked and I replied," Altena, it is a place perfect for my next step."
I had already planned it for a while, the problem with my parameters was resolved now only time and effort were needed, but for my magic I needed to do something. In this world, one can only have maximum of three magic slots naturally, to increase the slots beyond their natural limit, the only option were Magic grimoires, however they were expensive as heck.
I had stored up like 110 million valis, 45 million values worth valis and rest in Magic stones. It was all of my savings and result of my hard work during past seven years. I wanted to go to Altena and purchase a magic grimoire, to acquire a magic that lets me use more magics than the slot permits, like Lefiya and Riveria.
There is no way I will be using only Three Magics for the rest of my life. Now that I have got Magic and Mystery, I also want to try Magic tool crafting and learn how to make Magic grimoires. The best place to learn all that stuff will be without a doubt the Magic Country Altena. " How do you feel after leveling up?", she asked me curiously.
I examined myself and moved a bit," I feel as if I am at least three times stronger than my previous self!", I said, although the feeling was subtle, it was there, next came my Magic, my parameter that was the highest, after getting Mage I probably had Mind equivalent to a Level 4! That's when Mage was only at 'I', once its rank increases it will be much more powerful!
She looked at me with joy, and then suddenly said," Ember-No Tet, I have something to tell you", I looked at her, she was fidgeting and had a nervous look and said," I know you must be planning to throw a party for your ranking up, but... Can you go on a date with me?", her last words barely a whisper, however I clearly heard them.
' A date? ', this time all my suspicions became true, it was apparent she was in love with me. ' What about me? ', I thought, I liked her, in fact a lot. The idea of her becoming my lover was rather appeasing, I was open to idea and knew that if we were to become closer, for real I might... My heartbeat skipped, and I looked at her, she was blushing heavily fidgeting her finger.
' It is rude to keep a Lady waiting ', I thought and decided. " Goddess, if it is with you, then I am willing", I said, and she was stunned," Really?", she asked me, as if not registering what I told her. She looked extremely cute, I smiled and said," Yup", and next moment she cheered," Yes! Yes! Finally! Finally! I said it! A-And he accepted it!", she jumped in joy.
Meanwhile I felt awkward, since she was doing all of it in front of me, suddenly she grabbed my hand and said," Tet! Get ready for the best date of your life!", her smile infectious. " Sure!", I replied, and she planted a kiss on my cheek before running away," Don't forget! Let's meet tomorrow 11 A.M sharp!", she said as she fled.
Once the door closed with a thump! I touched the place where she had just kissed. " This girl", I smiled, despite being a Goddess who lived for so long, she was like a cute woman in her late 20's. I felt my heart warm and excitement for the date swelled up inside me. This was going to my first date in this life! Never I had dated a woman as beautiful as Aurora either!
" Still, It has been Seven years huh?", I muttered, recalling that I am 23 years old now felt nostalgic. It has also been Seven years since I have seen my mother and sister, and I missed them. Although I have sent many letters during past seven years, a letter at the duration of every six months. I haven't received any letter in the end, after all knowing my address could potentially leak to father.
' Once I reach Altena, I will send them the address of there, in this way I will be able to recieve their letters ', I thought and felt it was for the best. However, for now, my thoughts should be on tomorrow's date, which made a dreaded thought appear in my mind,' What should I wear tommorrow? ', and I felt troubled.
...
' He has accepted it! I can't believe it! ', she thought as she rolled on her bed, with pillow in her hands. Ever since Ember shown up, she had been falling slowly for him, at first it was amusement but soon turned into a crush and then full-blown love. For some reason she liked calling him by his nickname Tet, it made her feel much closer to him.
It was as if her heart strings were pulled, as if the name was destined for her, and so was he. She knew Ember better than anyone present in Shawn Village and Argon Town. She knew all his secrets and it made her feel closer to him. ' Oh Ember! Oh!! ', she giggled as she thought of him fondly, suddenly she stood up and opened her drawer," What clothes should I wear tomorrow, this? Or this?!", she said.
Something told her, that Ember would appreciate whatever she wore, however she wanted it to be special. She even thought of some naughty things which made her wet,' That's how a date is supposed to end right? ', she thought and gulped. She was a virgin Goddess and never knew the pleasures of flesh, however she wished that tommorrow she gives herself to her beloved.
Just like that she finally spent hours, and finally decided to sleep, when she realized,' I am so nervous that I can't sleep! ', she panicked, not knowing a certain Elf was also experiencing the same.
