My body exploded with light as all of the blessing tattoos on my body ignited. Normally, these tattoos only lit up when I was accessing the dungeon point store. For the longest time, I had thought this was all these blessings did, besides some kind of passive effect that often increased affinity and made it easier to gain certain jobs. However, I had started to think that there must have been a second function. This second function was one I had only considered a possibility, but with no choice now, I had to try it.

The only time I thought I had ever used my blessing this way, I hadn’t realized that was what I was doing at the time. It happened when I was battling Alysia, that Osterian General, on the beach. At the time, I had been partially controlled by Octius, so I hadn’t even realized what I was doing. It was only after carefully considering things, as well as seeing all of the girls use their means of transformation, that I started to realize that this might be the true power behind the tattoos.

If I was right, it seemed like I could call upon the latent power of my blessings, using their strength and knowledge in battle. It made sense. If a Dungeon Master could summon the strength of the dungeon to enhance their power, and these tattoos were the power of a dungeon compressed into a blessing, then I should be able to utilize that power.

After seeing my girls all change into their powerful forms, pulling upon the potential of their bloodlines, I realized I had to give it a shot. I’d like to say that was why I was glowing, but if pulling on my blessings for strength was easy, I assuredly would have already done it. Instead, I altered my dungeon points.

The dungeon point store had a vast array of abilities, and I had 42 dungeon points to use. These abilities were sorted by tiers. 1st tier items only cost 1 point. 2nd tier items cost 5. Then, there were 3rd at 10, 4th at 25, and 5th at 50. Some skill were blocked out, and would only become accessible with the purchase of other skills.

I could get 2nd job by equipping True Hero, not depending on dungeon points, and then unlock the third job, which costs 5 points, and a fourth job that costs 10 points. Ultimately, I was only really saving 1 point by obsessing about keeping True Hero equipped. Furthermore, I had 16 points sequestered as experience boosters, which was part of the reason I was able to level so quickly. At this moment of life and death, how could I be focused on experience?

I equipped 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and for the first time, I added a 5th. That came to 41 points, I just had enough plus 1 for reset. As for the jobs I picked, True Dungeon Diver, Slave Master, Dark Priest, Demon Knight, and Dungeon Builder. Other than Slave Master, which benefited my girls and continued to support them, the other four jobs were those closely related to darkness, miasma, and the control of it. If she was trying to control me, I might have chosen Mimic. There was no deception here, but pure destruction!

At this point, only a few seconds had passed, and the pain in my soul was becoming increasingly intense. Summoning all of my will, I grabbed hold of the miasma, trying to wrestle it from Calypso.

“As if you’ll succeed!” She seemed to become aware of what I was doing.

“Just die!”
