"You all did a decent job," I said, nodding slightly.

Issei, still catching his breath, shot me a tired glare. "Decent?! Do you have any idea how tough that was? How long did it take you to clear them the first time?!"

I shrugged casually. "About five minutes."

"Five—?!" Issei's jaw dropped. "Dude… respect."

"Indeed," Kiba added, his tone more composed but no less impressed.

A small grin tugged at my lips. "Now, let me show you something I've been wanting to for a while."

Raising my hand, I snapped my fingers. A faint clink echoed as the weighted bracelets on my wrists and ankles unlocked and fell to the ground with a heavy thud, kicking up dust as they landed. Immediately, my aura surged outward—unfiltered, untamed, and unmistakably powerful.

The air grew thick with energy as if the very atmosphere bent beneath the weight of my presence. everyone's eyes widened in shock, their breaths catching as they felt the sheer force radiating from me.

Koneko's golden eyes widened, her usually calm expression replaced with surprise. Even Frost and Alucard, locked in combat, paused briefly to glance my way. Kiba stood still, his hand gripping his sword tightly as if instinctively bracing himself. Akeno's smile faltered, replaced with wide-eyed astonishment, while Rias looked at me as if she was seeing me for the first time.

I chuckled softly, then quickly accessed my stats to see the difference.

(Holy…) I thought, stunned by my own progress.

(Shit…), Voltaris echoed in my mind, sounding just as surprised.

Satisfied, I retracted my aura, letting the energy settle as the air around us returned to normal. I saw the others exhale quietly, though the tension in their shoulders lingered. Without another word, I deactivated the dungeon and transported everyone back to the real world.

….

Inside the Workshop

Later that evening, I sat in my workshop, resting on a stool with Voltaris perched on my shoulders in his miniature form. The faint hum of magical energy from the surrounding equipment filled the air as I opened my status screen to distribute my accumulated stat points. Voltaris peered over my shoulder, watching curiously.

"Still can't believe I had that many points saved up," I muttered as I allocated them across my attributes.

"Like I said before—you're jacked," Voltaris replied, his voice carrying a hint of pride.

Once I finished, I took a moment to admire the results.

I leaned back, satisfied with the numbers. "Man, I'm awesome."

Voltaris chuckled, his tail flicking lightly against my shoulder. "Yes, you're awesome. But, quick question—why do you keep all your stats perfectly balanced?"

I leaned back in my chair, stretching my arms above my head as I admired my status screen. The numbers were solid—perfectly balanced, just the way I wanted.

"Well," I said, rolling my shoulders, "I don't want to be some muscle-bound idiot who can't think straight. Or someone so fast that one hit knocks me out. And I definitely don't want to be able to tank a nuke only to hit someone and have them laugh it off. Balance is the key. I want every stat to be incredible—and equal."

Voltaris, perched on my shoulder in his miniature form, hummed thoughtfully. "Ah, I see. So that's your strategy."

I grinned as I reached over to the workbench, where a silver ring with a small green gemstone rested atop a velvet cloth. I picked it up, holding it between my fingers as the gem caught the light.

"And now, for the final touch: the Concealment Ring," I said with a hint of pride.

Voltaris peered at the ring, tilting his head curiously. "This is the one that'll suppress your aura, right? Make you seem like a regular human?"

"Yeah, I figured constantly holding back my aura was too much of a hassle. With this ring, I won't have to worry about it. But…" I paused, turning the ring between my fingers. "It's fragile. If I lose control of my emotions or let too much energy leak out, it could overload and shatter. So, I'll have to be careful."

"Hmm, sounds risky," Voltaris said, tapping his chin with his tail. "But it suits you. Simple and practical. And I see you like rings, huh?"

I chuckled as I slipped the ring onto the middle finger of my right hand. The cool metal rested snugly against my skin. "Yeah, they're kinda my style. Plus, they're good for focus. How does it look?"

Voltaris smirked. "On you? Looks good. But let's hope it holds up—because if that thing breaks during a fight, everyone's gonna know you're not just some average human."

"Yeah, yeah," I waved him off with a grin. "I've got it under control."

Meanwhile…

Somewhere far away, a pair of eyes watched from the shadows. Their gaze seemed to pierce through space itself, focused solely on me.
