Danmachi: Reaper

Kelvin's explanation not only made Loki silent, but Finn, Riveria, and Gareth who heard it also fell silent.

They felt that there was nothing wrong with Kelvin's answer. After all, if they were asked the same question, they would also answer the same thing as Kelvin.

"Alright, alright, let me change my question. What will you do when you become strong?"

Getting an unsatisfactory answer, Loki quickly changed her question.

If before her interest in Kelvin was just limited to ordinary interest, but she was now really curious about his way of thinking.

She wanted to dig deeper into his head, what exactly had he gone through to create this mindset.

Meanwhile, Kelvin chuckled upon hearing Loki's question.

"Of course to become even stronger! There are no restrictions on being strong, and there are no limits to being stronger. If I can become stronger, why wouldn't I?"

"In this world..., strength is everything! If you are not strong enough, you will be bullied and lose everything! You have to be strong enough to stand at the top, you have to be strong enough to at least save your life from danger. Is that answer enough for you?"

"Interesting~" Loki grinned, nodded in satisfaction and turned to his Family Executive members, "I agree, what about you guys?"

"What can I do, I don't mind." Finn nodded, seemingly not objecting to Kelvin joining their Family.

Although Finn felt that his and Kelvin's ideologies might be at odds, but they both had similar thoughts about being strong.

At least, Finn knew Kelvin's thoughts were not wrong and had a point. And he also knew that everyone had a different mindset, and he couldn't force his ideology on others.

"Gahaha, if Loki agrees, I don't mind."

Gareth laughed loudly. While Riveria who was sitting at the side just nodded and smiled slightly.

"Alright, it's decided. Welcome to our Familia, son. For starters, quickly take off your clothes!"

"...." Kelvin fell silent.

He looked at Loki with a doubtful gaze.

"..., Um, is this some kind of ritual?"

"Just quickly take off your clothes!" said Loki as she placed her hands on her waist.

"Wait...! I was never told to do this! At least let me mentally prepare myself first!"

Kelvin, who was sitting in front of Loki, took a little distance and shifted his body to the side.

On the other hand, Riveria and the others had "as expected" expressions on their faces.

"Just take off your top, Loki will carve Falna on your back." rich Riveria with a sigh.

"Oh? Just the boss...? Then what can I do?"

Following Riveria's instructions, Kelvin took off his shirt, leaving him half-naked with only his pants remaining.

When he exposed his body, Loki slightly exclaimed as she gazed at his body which although thin but had well-trained muscles.

"Oh, I thought you were a skinny boy who didn't eat enough. But your body seems to be well-trained!"

"No disrespect! Even like this, I'm also handsome enough to attract many girls!"

"Yeah, yeah, just show me your back and let me give you my Falna."

Loki waved her hand indifferently, the expression on her face really showing she didn't believe Kelvin's words.

Even though he was grumbling, Kelvin still did what Loki told him to do.

He lay down on the sofa, showing his back up while Loki sat on his body-his back to be exact.

Loki took out a needle and pricked her own finger, making her blood drip onto Kelvin's back.

And when Loki's blood touched her back Kelvin could feel something entering his body. He didn't resist and let it because he knew that the process had begun this time.

Kelvin could feel his body becoming strong, which made him feel a little strange.

"Alright, it's done. Let me show you your status first."

As she said that, Loki took the sheet of paper, placing it on Kelvin's back as it glowed as she did so.

Loki got up from Kelvin's back, and gave the paper to Kelvin.

"Can I see it too?" Finn asked.

"Sure." Kelvin nodded, thinking there was nothing wrong if he let the Familia's top executives know his status.

"I-It's ...."

Finn, and the others stared in disbelief at the parchment paper.

On the paper, it said Kelvin had two Skills while he also had three slots for magic!

Keep in mind, Magic had two types, Innate Magic; which could be obtained based on an individual's ability and race, and Magic obtained by training or through a Grimoire.

A person naturally has between one to three slots for magic and can usually only learn one magic per slot, however most people tend to never have magic appear in their magic slots.

For people with one or two slots, the number can be increased through the use of a grimoire, however the absolute maximum is 3-even with a grimoire.

Filling the first magic slot seems to be rather difficult to achieve, while filling the second slot is more difficult and the third is even harder to fill than the second.

In rare cases, the third magic is not obtained no matter how many grimoires are used, this is often the case with high-level mages.

Special Excelia was required to obtain the third magic.

While one could use magic even if they did not have Falna, but the magic used while having Falna tended to be stronger than ordinary magic without Falna.

"Wow, didn't expect you to have two powerful Skills!"

Finn immediately exclaimed when he read the parchment. Normally, people who just had Falna would not have any Skills, or few of them had one Skill in their status. But, Kelvin had two Skills when he received Falna.

In addition, Kelvin's Skills were Buff-Debuff, the first would increase his speed, and the second would allow him to steal the opponent's stats and take them for himself.

In other words, his two Skills were cheats!

He was an anomaly!

"Gahaha! I knew you were an interesting kid!"

Gareth on the other hand laughed as he read the contents of the parchment.

"As expected."

Riveria nodded as if she was not surprised by this result.

"Haha, I was just obeying Mama before, but who would have thought I would hit the Jackpot?!"

Loki laughed as Riveria argued, "I'm not Mama!".

"Um, I don't understand. Can one of you explain it to me?"

Kelvin tilted his head, confused by their reaction which seemed to be over the top to him.

"Hmm, that's right. How about if I explain it?" Riveria offered.

"Um, go ahead."

"First of all-"

Level denotes a person's rank. It is the most important part of the status as someone who is superior to all those in lower levels in all aspects.

However, there were exceptions; some abilities could permanently increase a person's specific stats beyond their actual level, while other abilities could temporarily increase their user's overall status beyond their actual level.

Basic abilities are divided between; Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, Magic; each of which is displayed with a rank and number ranging from 0-999.

0-99 is I, 100-199 is H

200-299 is G, 300-399 is F, 400-499 is E, 500-599 is D, 600-699 is C, 700-799 is B, 800-899 is A and 900-999 is S.

Base abilities are reset to I0 at each level up, although abilities gained before each rank up will remain an invisible base.

To level up, one must have at least rank D in one basic ability and collect a sufficient amount of high-rank excelia to fill their container, thus allowing them to level up.

Skills are innate abilities with various properties such as repairing and strengthening basic abilities, magic, and certain actions. The chance of gaining a Skill is said to be rare, and Skills with effects that no one else has are considered extremely rare Skills.

Skills can be obtained from an individual's innate or through other means.

While Magic; as the name suggests is an ability that allows the user to cast the Magic he has in his Magic slot.

Magic can also be obtained from innate or in other ways such as from Grimoire.

While Development Ability is a special ability that has the opportunity to appear every level up starting from Level 2.

Development Ability is different from basic ability; in the sense that it is a characteristic that specializes in a particular field.

Starting from Level 2, there is a chance to get one every level up. There is also a chance of one not appearing in the upper levels, or several appearing to choose from.

Like basic abilities, Development Abilities are also categorized from I to S; however, they are much harder to train and do not reset to I with each new level up.

In addition, there was something else like Cursed which was almost the same ability as Magic, the only difference being that Cursed was used to bind, confuse, or share pain with the opponent.

"-Do you understand?"

Riveria ended her explanation as she asked Kelvin.

"Hmm..., I see. Broadly speaking, I understand everything. Mn, this is easy."

Kelvin nodded with a confident expression. Although he roughly knew this information from Anime, but Riveria's explanation was quite easy to understand.

The information from the Anime was not very clear and tended to leave out some details, and Riveria's explanation was quite easy to understand, making Kelvin so clearly understand it even if it was only the major part.
