Chapter 178: Level Reset

Chapter 178: Level ResetAdrian activated his Appraisal ability, observing the stats of his women. True to the advice he'd given them before entering the training chamber, they had focused not on leveling up, but on honing their combat experience.

Though their levels hadn't risen significantly barely going up by few levels, their battle instincts had sharpened, and their techniques refined.

Adrian had a special plan for their growth—one that would involve a full level reset and grant them access to superior mana circulation manuals.

Before they entered the chamber, Adrian had instructed them to prioritize mastering battle tactics, polishing their skills, and deepening their understanding of mana control over gaining levels.

Their current growth had been built using mediocre mana circulation manuals, which limited their future potential.

In particular, Eve had suffered the most, as her manual only provided a one additional point to her intelligence.

Baron Mortimer got her the lowest of low, mana circulation manual, to ensure she would not get strong enough to escape his control.

Yet, thanks to her strong basic stats, she still held her own as a mage. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, the manuals Adrian could buy from the system were of much higher quality, offering more additional stats per level up as well as setting a higher ceiling for their potential.

The reset, he had explained to them, would allow them to rebuild their foundations and grow even stronger.

With this plan in mind, they'd chosen to focus on experience rather than levels during their chamber training.

Satisfied with their hard work, Adrian addressed them in the present. "You've all trained hard, building resilience, skill, and experience," he said warmly.

"Now that we're back in the real world, Aunt and I will guide you through the reset and provide you with more advanced circulation manuals. With these, you'll grow even stronger, and our family will never have to bow to anyone."

His women exchanged glances filled with anticipation and confidence, but Adrian's thoughts drifted towards the conversation he had with the system in the virtual training chamber previously.

In the chamber, he had asked the system about performing the level reset there, intending for them to level up over a full year inside its safe, condensed time.

But the system had disagreed, giving him a stern warning about the potential dangers.

"Host, a level reset is a profound and irreversible transformation," the system explained. "It is not a simple reset as in the games you used to play, where stats are wiped and experience gains recalculated. Instead, it is an intricate, delicate process that dives deep into the very foundation of one's mana core and spiritual essence.

"To undergo this reset, the individual's mana circulation pathways must be dismantled entirely before being rebuilt, step by step, to accommodate the advanced manual's specifications.

In the training chamber, where time and mana flow are artificially manipulated, this delicate process becomes inherently unstable. Imagine pouring liquid metal into a mold that continually shifts shape and density.

"The chamber's accelerated time and condensed mana could create an uncontrollable ripple effect on your women's cores, leading to mana distortions, prolonged mana burns, or, in the worst cases, irreversible damage to their mana foundations.

"This restructuring demands a natural synchronization with the environment. Mana is not a static force; it is an interconnected web that flows through all life.

This connection is impossible to stabilize within an artificial setting like the chamber, as it lacks the grounding influences of the real world's ley lines and energy fields.

Without these natural harmonics, the process could destabilize or even shatter their mana cores."

Considering the system's warning, Adrian had abandoned the idea of resetting them in the chamber. The stakes were too high, and the risk of harm too great. He wouldn't endanger his beloved women just to make them stronger.

Back in the present, Adrian told them, "You'll undergo the reset tomorrow. Rest for now—you've just returned from a year of intense training in the virtual chamber, and you need to be at your peak condition to avoid any mishaps."

Aside from Seraphina, everyone would undergo the level reset for now. Adrian would have to find some way to have Seraphina learn higher tier manuals.

It was really difficult for third class awakened to undergo level reset with the same method for lower classes.

Besides, he was not strong enough now, so he needed Seraphina's third class awakened powers, so he could not have her undergo level reset anyway.

Adrian's gaze swept over them with pride as he prepared them to take the next steps in their journey together.

Just as he was about to discuss their upcoming plans, Sophia stepped forward and once again embraced him with a sly smile.

"Little brother," she began, "I have been training hard in the chamber and I still have to do hard work tomorrow? If you want your adorable big sister to be in peak condition, you have to take me on a date." She arched a playful eyebrow.

" I'll be at my peak physically and mentally when I know my little brother has spoiled me properly."

Adrian chuckled, as he looked towards his big sister acting cute. "Spoiling you, huh?" he replied, amused by her boldness.

Hearing this, Eve quickly interjected, her voice rising with excitement. "Me too!" she blurted out, throwing her hands up.

"Only Sophia is not fair! I want a date too, Adrian! You have to be fair to everyone," she added with a pout, her cheeks flushed with anticipation.

Adrian looked around at the rest of the women gathered.

While Isabella and Seraphina, who had joined them, after waking up, from all the commotion, didn't voice their thoughts, the look in their eyes spoke volumes.

Isabella's warm smile hinted at the same desire, while Seraphina's usual stern expression softened slightly, an almost-hidden spark of curiosity dancing in her gaze.

Meanwhile, Rosalyn had her head hung down, blushing, seeming embarrass to ask or even show her expression to him.

With a resigned yet amused sigh, Adrian gave in. "Alright, alright," he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"You guys take a bath and freshen up, have some breakfast. I will wait for Chris to return and decide how to spend quality time with my lovely ladies."
