Chapter 102 – Healing skill.
It was as simple. The system opened a new window, and the following appeared: Hestia's pregnancy duration and the number of points that would be spent.
It's not as expensive as I thought. I need to spend 20 points to speed up Hestia's pregnancy by one month. In other words, I can already accelerate her pregnancy and have our child today. However, I won't do that.
For now, I'll speed up by 9 months. That will bring the pregnancy duration down to 9 months, which is a normal time. I don't mind waiting 9 months for my child to be born... 18 months is too long.
In any case, I plan to accelerate the pregnancy further. I'll wait until Hestia discovers her pregnancy and agrees to let me speed it up. I'll have to tell her about this "ability."
Well, 9 months... 180 points.
[ Pregnancy accelerated by 9 months. ]
[ Remaining pregnancy time: 9 months. ]
"It's strange how the time is exactly 9 months. Normally, a pregnancy can last a little longer or shorter... But here, it's precisely 9 months."
Now that I've spent 180 points, I have 556 points left to increase my stats. I need 300 in each stat to achieve my "Ascension," but 556 points aren't enough.
However, I can raise a few stats to 300.
Strength and agility, for sure, I'll bring them to 300.
My strength was 187, so I spent 113 points to bring it to 300. My agility was 199, so I only needed 101 points to reach 300. And even after that, I still had 342 points left.
"Honestly, I want to get my magic and perception to 300. I need 159 points to bring my magic to 300... I won't have enough points to raise my perception to 300."
Well, that's fine.
[ Your magic is now at 300! ]
After raising my magic to 300, I used the remaining points on perception, bringing it to 263. However, when I checked my Endurance, I immediately felt something was off.
I was foolish; I should have increased my Endurance.
Anyway, I don't plan on going to the dungeon today, and I can accumulate some points. I'll return to the dungeon only after my Ascension. I'm very curious about it. I wonder how much stronger I'll become.
My current status is:
And, of course, it will also help heal myself if something happens.
The next skill is also excellent, but it's a skill I won't use often. I sometimes forget to use the skills I have available... This one will just get lost among so many others.
Potion Creation LV1 - Allows the user to create potions.
It doesn't specify, but I'll probably be able to create healing, strength, and all kinds of potions as the skill levels up... But I don't need that. It could help make potions to sell... But I don't need money.
So, I must choose between [Flying LV1] and [Healing LV1].
Honestly, as much as I want to fly, I don't know when I'll have the chance to get a healing skill again.
[ The skill "Healing LV1" has been added to your status. ]
I already have extraordinary skills like invisibility and teleportation... I don't need to fly...
"But it would be so cool..."
Well, whatever.
"Let's test this skill now." I used my long nails to make minor cuts on my arm. Then, I used the healing skill to close the cuts.
It was faster than expected and used very little of my mana reserve. Now that my magic is 300, my mana reserve is quite large. And now that my magic skills are almost at max level, I need a big mana reserve.
I can't wait to see how powerful the explosions I can create now will be.
My next trip to the dungeon will be pretty fun.
'Haaaa~~' I took a deep breath and closed the system window. Right after, the bathroom door opened.
"Good morning," Hestia said, her face blushing.
"Good morning, Goddess. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes... But it still hurts."
Hestia began to clean herself in front of me while we talked. She didn't seem so shy anymore. After what happened yesterday, I'm sure she'll never feel embarrassed about being naked in front of me again.
