"A-CHOOO*"

Asai awoke sneezing. "who's talking about me?"  He took a moment to realize he was missing something. Taking in his surroundings, he recognized the familiar guest room within the orphanage. "Oh, right. I fainted after beating that dungeon boss." Towards his left, snoring soundly was Sister Mary. 

[Mary: Lvl 1]

"I- I fucking survived!" Fist pumping the air in front of him he noticed a little treasure chest by his side. It appeared locked but when Asai picked it up the latch automatically swung open. A little note inside read 

"A gift, for the brave and crazy." Underneath the note were two weapons he had greatly desired.

[Yomi & Yami]

Level Requirement: 50

Requirements: ASAI

Stats

Day:

Kills regain 5% maximum health

Kills regain 10% maximum mana

Kills regain 10% maximum stamina

Night: Double effect.

"Fucking beautiful." Although there were no bonus stats, Asai was aware of how potent life steal was. Not to mention the mana and stamina regen. He imagined himself solo speed running dungeons without rest. The potential power levelling speed would certainly be great.

Although he was happy, the karambits blade were shorter than his daggers. It now meant that he had to get closer to his foes in melee range to fight. 

"High risk high reward? A gift for the brave and crazy indeed." He looked towards the heavens before bowing. "Thank you."

Asai took a moment to recollect his memories. During the end of the battle, he wasn't really using his brain, but rather he was following his instincts. 

[Death Call]

Brings an opponent within a 5 meter distance to your feet and paralyze it for 2 seconds.

[Double Psychic Phantom]

Additional 200% Damage added to a regular attack.

For scientific purposes, he tried to cast [Death Call] on the fruit basket by his bed feet. Expecting an apple to fly towards him like telekinesis, but nothing happened. He still felt the mana consumption though. "Interesting." 

[Asai: Lvl 51]

[HP: 115 MP:115]

[Title: Monster]

It seemed, the system had upgraded again. Now showing more information than before. This was definitely good news but, Asai wasn't so happy.

"Shouldn't my title be Hero, or protagonist, or even something cool like reaper? What the hell? Monster?"

The door to the guestroom swung open by a kick, a cleaning tray in the hands of the new arrival dropped and clashed against the stone.

"M-MR? You're awake!" Robin immediately ran over and dived into Asai's embrace. Headbutting his abdomen in the process and winding him as he wasn't using his mana to enforce his body.

"OoooFFFFF! Ah, Robin. How have you been?" 

[Robin Lvl 10] "Oh? He leveled up without me?"

"Stupid Mr, you lied. You said you'd be back in a year, you're late by a month!" 

"H-Huh?"

"You baka Mr, you were in a coma when you arrived." "looking closer, he hasn't changed at all, still short and small."

"ASAI!?" Mary now awoke due to all the commotion also decided to headbutt him in the stomach. Before crying tears of joy and relief.

He patted the two on the heads to comfort them. 

"There there, I'm back as promised."

"Welcome back!" "Welcome home!" The two said at the same time.

Asai, glad to be back, brought them closer into his embrace.

"Yeah, it's good to be back." "Home sweet home~" 

After a moments respite, he asked.

"Hey, where's Mel?"

"Mel? Who's Mel?" Returned Mary.
