New Adventurers all start with initial status values, which are then improved through continuous training in the Dungeon and finally updated by a god.
Status values are divided into stages from I to S.
"I: 0 ~ 99, H: 100 ~ 199..., A: 800 ~ 899, S: 900 ~ 999"
If status values reach a bottleneck and cannot be improved, a great feat is required to raise the Adventurer level, turning previously trained status values into a foundation.
Keare was aware of these basic settings.
However, in the Dungeon or Familia worldview, overpowering status values do not guarantee victory in battle; success relies more on magic, skills, and techniques.
Coincidentally,
He had just received a god's blessing and now possessed his own magic!
"Recovery"
"Could it be that I'm truly a genius?"
Keare looked at the parchment in front of him, his emotions fluctuating like a roller coaster, having set the lowest possible expectations.
Coming to another world, the disappearing Hero's mark...
Even if he became a bottom-tier Adventurer in Orario, it would still be better than working a regular job—a resigned thought.
He had never imagined that he would, quite rarely, possess such a powerful magical ability right after becoming an Adventurer.
"A magic that possesses the characteristics of healing wounds, restoring stamina, expelling poison, and dispelling curses, returning the target to their original state."
The magic's effect was no different from that of a Healer.
Keare tried to calm his excitement, but if he remembered correctly, the 'Recovery' magic had a fatal flaw.
When using the ability, everything the target experienced would be instantly and completely poured into the caster.
The pain endured was beyond imagination; ordinary people could not endure it with sheer mental willpower, so the question was whether this side effect of casting still existed.
That was his most pressing concern.
If there were no side effects, then it would definitely be more astonishing than the Battlefield Saintess Amiti Tialasse's 'Dia Fratello' magic!
"..."
Pondering endlessly was useless; experimentation was the only true test!
Keare certainly understood this principle, but he couldn't just self-harm and then use 'Recovery' to heal his own wound, could he?
There was no such concept.
However, when his gaze fell on Hestia beside him, who had pricked herself a bit too hard when first bestowing her blessing upon a Familia member, a sudden inspiration struck Keare.
Having sealed her divine power to come to the lower world,
Gods are actually no different from ordinary people; they feel hunger, pain, and so on.
And from the tip of the young girl's slender, pale index finger, tiny beads of blood were still oozing from the needle prick, and Keare instantly had a flash of inspiration.
"Lady Hestia."
"Do you need... me to use magic to treat your wound?"
"Huh?"
"This little wound is fine."
Hestia quickly waved her hand; she could completely ignore this pain, and besides, with her Familia officially established, as a god,
She had to be mature and responsible!
"Actually, I just want to try out the magic's effect."
"Then try it."
She didn't continue to refuse; she was equally curious about Keare's 'Recovery' magic, simply understanding from the magic's description.
It would definitely be top-tier in Orario!
"Alright."
Keare's heart was filled with trepidation, but he forced himself to remain calm; although the wound wasn't so small that it would heal instantly,
The pain was subtle.
He had to concentrate to discern the sensation of healing!
Moreover, compared to other magic in Dungeon or Familia, his 'Recovery' magic required no incantation; he took Hestia's delicate hand.
Having never encountered magic before, Keare could only chant silently in his mind.
As a soft glow continuously emerged and finally enveloped the young girl's hand, the needle prick healed at a visible rate.
There was no empathy as he had expected.
Only a fleeting image of the needle prick flashed before Keare's eyes, and besides that, there was an uncontrollable dizziness!
"Why do I feel... a little dizzy?"
Keare couldn't fully confirm whether the 'Recovery' magic had side effects yet; he needed more practical cases.
He sat on the edge of the bed, trying to overcome the feeling of dizziness, but with little effect.
"Dizziness is actually normal."
Hestia carefully examined the flawless white skin at her fingertip; ordinary healing magic could also achieve this level, but how to put it...
The effect was limited to common superficial wounds.
She believed the magic description wouldn't be wrong; just imagine, even a missing body part could be restored to its original state.
How crazy would this ability be if other Familia in Orario found out about it?!
"Your magic power attribute is I0; using magical ability is like overdrawing... your spirit, and your body will experience this side effect."
"So that's how it is."
Keare's impression of the Dungeon or Familia world came only from the anime; he hadn't specifically encountered these detailed issues, but it seemed reasonable.
Assuming:
If the 'Recovery' magic he possessed only consumed his own magic power without other negative feedback, could it evolve into abilities like 'Imitation,' 'Plunder,' 'Optimization,' and 'Deterioration' through skills?
If it could,
He would definitely declare: "To restore the Healer's glory, we are duty-bound!"
But before that, Keare still needed to face a very practical problem: without combat ability as support, how could he raise his status values?
"This is a bit tricky..."
He had no intention of spreading negative emotions; objectively speaking, the Loki Familia was definitely the most suitable stage for his development.
It was simply a matter of choosing between rationality and subjective preference.
Keare chose to trust his 'little head'; how could he want to stick with a loli goddess and also expect a powerful Familia to help him develop?
Hestia, also realizing the problem, was incredibly conflicted; with the magical ability Keare possessed,
In time,
He would definitely become a top-tier support personnel, surpassing the "Battlefield Saintess" Amiti Tialasse, but what about the process?
The newly established Familia had only Keare, this sole sprout...
"Keare."
"After gaining such powerful magic, will you regret joining... my Familia?"
"As your goddess," the young girl's face was filled with sorrow, her tightly furrowed brows speaking of her inner bitterness:
"Although I really don't want to admit it,"
"The Familia most suitable for you in Orario is actually the one Loki created!"
Keare did not meet the goddess's gaze; as he lowered his head, he saw Hestia's delicate and charming feet, and after a brief contemplation,
He said with conviction:
"I believe that with Lady Hestia, the Familia will definitely get better!"
Of course, it would get better.
A Healer is not a conventional support; as long as he can develop derivative abilities, his combat level will definitely undergo a qualitative change.
Dungeon exploration might be a bit tough...
But with a loli-faced, big-breasted beautiful goddess providing emotional value, Keare felt that any effort he put in would be worth it!
Thinking of this,
He proactively took Hestia's fair hand, a serious smile on his face:
"I hope the future of the Familia will be created together with Lady Hestia; even if you ask a hundred times, this will be my answer."
Directness never goes out of style.
Hestia felt the young man's sincere feelings; although he didn't directly answer the question, what he said...
Was it too much?!
"Keare..."
"Alright, then the future of the Familia is in our hands!"
