When I looked at my new group they were all looking at me with complicated looks.
Especially Ruby and Lina.
They must have been confused why a man like me was getting so brutal and… unmanly?
Klaus was just looking at me with wide, unblinking eyes.
As for Greg… that bastard didn't even care, he seemed irritated about the fact that I was hogging Lina's attention.
Crazy.
"Uh, good job, Aaron." Ruby praised me awkwardly.
Lina, true to her nature, just stayed silent but her eyes were scanning me as if checking out a unique, new animal at a zoo.
"Sorry, I got a little carried away." I scratch the back of my head while sheathing my falcata back in the scabbard.
I didn't even have the chance to test this baby out.
I refrained from putting it in the inventory now, as if I do it now it would seem like I had forgotten and I was dumb as fuck.
Instead, I could just carry it on my waist like I was doing, and act like I had something else stored in my inventory.
That worked way better for my image as well as disguise that I was originally from this world.
"A little?" Ruby shook her head with a scoff, "Leave it, it was my idea in the end, after all."
I chuckled and rejoined the group as we made our way deeper into the stone cave.
I hated the fact that this labyrinth was so dark that I could barely see 10-20 meters ahead of me, everything else was covered in darkness.
Though, Lina and Ruby didn't seem to be affected by the darkness as they always spotted the monsters early and then let me and Greg hunt them.
After my brutal kill, it was Greg's chance against the next monster.
And this time, it wasn't a goblin.
It was a beast that was called 'Coohen', it looked similar to a hen from Earth, but only on steroids.
It was bigger, more muscular, with a sharper beak and a pretty long neck.
Its talons looked especially sharp as well, capable of tearing flesh with a single swipe.
It was quite a difficulty jump after battling the short goblins, but Ruby put me to ease by telling me that the coohens were slow and mostly strength focused, unlike the agile goblins.
Countering strength was easier than agility, in my opinion.
I kept an eye on Greg's battle with the coohen, while also pulling out my own status screen.
[ User: Aaron Cross ]

I grinned widely after seeing that my magic had jumped straight to 10 after a single level up.
In my opinion, 10x magic was the most broken buff I have seen.
Although I had no skill to make use of it yet, I could already imagine how overpowered it could be.
As for my 5 stats, I added one to my magic to check if adding stats manually also activated the buff.
And gladly, it did.
So now, I was sitting at 20 magic, which was now my 2nd highest stat!
As awesome as it sounded to have 60 magic, I knew that it would be useless for now.
I needed decent physical stats for my survivability, after all.
So I directly threw 1 point into agility, pushing it to 20, and then remaining into strength.
So now I have 19 strength.
This would make it much easier for me to swing my falcata.
As for the coohen, they turned out to be way less scarier than they looked.
Though, they didn't look that scary to begin with.
No matter how much you buff a chicken, it's only food for us humans!
I hope this bullshit comment didn't raise any flags as I watched Greg use his saber to decapitate the coohen.
Just a couple minutes later, Ruby informed us about another monster.
This was another goblin, so that wasn't a big deal.
With my new and improved strength, I finally made use of my 45 sol investment, killing the goblin in two hits.
It took two hits because I suck at swordsmanship, missing most of my swings.
And even those that hit weren't optimal.
Watching which, Ruby herself offered to teach me some basic swordsmanship, and I of course agreed.
During the walk, she showed me some cutting and slashing movements, since that's what my falcata was best at.
True enough, her methods were much better as they relied on body movement, instead of my earlier hand movements.
Using my whole body allowed me to generate more force and have a little better control over my attacks.
She told me to practice this much for now, and we exchanged numbers so she can teach me more some other time.
As although we received no signal in the labyrinth, it wasn't as if our phones couldn't be used.
After all, recording the labyrinth raids was a full time job of some people.
But, this all was secondary.
Finally, this daddy was level 5.
I couldn't believe that it only took me 2 mere goblins to level up to 5, but it just meant that my buff was pretty great.
But regardless of the time it took, I wanted to see what skill I could get.
[ You have levelled up, level 5 ]
[ Choose a checkpoint reward! ]
[ 1. +1 to each stat. ]
[ 2. Skill choice from the class, Boy Toy. ]
[ 3. Random item of the class, Boy Toy. ]
This was the choice I got, and no matter how much I liked gambling, skill took priority.
My 20 magic stats were rotting uselessly, I can't let that be the case, after all.
[ Skill Choice! ]
[ Skill 1 - Safety Protocols (Passive) ]
// Kills the sperms before ejaculation, to prevent any needless accident. (This passive can be turned off at will) //
[ Skill 2 - Everlasting Goodtime (Active) ]
// Consumes 1 mana every 10 seconds to increase stamina by +10 //
[ Skill 3 - Reverse Senses (Active) ]
