Reborn as my custom character

Skill level up

{1st POV, Ethan}

Entering the living room where everyone is staying. I discover all my aunts are again encircling Alizée as she is telling them about her past and how she got herself caught up in that situation. My aunts are listing carefully too. 

"Humph! Bastard. He deserves to be skinned alive."

Nuri curses after she heard all the bad things that happened to Alizée.

"That noble is also a son of a bitch. Selling her out just to curry favour with some garbage prince."

Leviathan did the same.

The others nodded in approval. As Apep began to speak.

"This is the reason I don't like men at all. They are all just perverts and every one of them is the same trash." 

Again all of them acknowledged.

"But Ethan is different, he is the only one who never behaved pervertedly. Even when I tease him so extensively and reveal my body to him, he never behaved weirdly."

Hearing Ehecatl's words they all had an odd look on their faces and glared at her.

On the other side, my eyebrows twitched furiously. 

'What is she talking about? so she was deliberately displaying her skin to judge my temperament..'

It looks like my aunts are more tricky than I give them merit for. The words 'never underestimate anyone' is accurate after all. Thank god I never attempted to peep at them when there was an opportunity. Well, it is true. I've seen how many people gawk at them with passion but don't dare to try anything foolish. My aunts are all monarchs and very powerful, as they have been at the monarch stage for a long time.

"Although I have my scepticism regarding what you have done was appropriate or not, still what you are telling is true."

Nuri also agrees with Ehecatl's claim.

"Well, it is true, I was the one who took care of him! How can he be the same as those trashes!"

Apep exclaimed arrogantly while puffing out her chest. Making everyone roll their eyes at her.

"Humph! Don't speak nonsense, we all took care of him." 

This time it is Leviathan who spat at Apep's proclamation.

"Yeah! Don't think just because you fed him when he was little you can take all the fame. I was the one who spend the most money to buy those rare treasures."

Nuri spoke in outrage.

"Yes, don't try to act all high.."

Just like that, a new of round disagreements began about who was the one who care for me the most.

"Hey! All of you stop I know all of you love me the most. So don't try to measure your feelings for me."

Not able to take their heated up argument any longer I shouted and they all shut their mouth.

"All of you are special to me, so don't make it a competition 'like who loves the most."

Hearing my remarks they all held their head down, in embarrassment. 

"Sigh, listen I love you all the same so don't fight."

Saying that I revealed a bright smile. Looking at my smile a smile formed on their lips too.

[+1000AP, 5x] 

'Cliches always get the job done, no matter the predicament..'

"You are right, we were acting like dummies. ..Sorry."

Apep apologies and the others followed her and everybody said sorry as well. The only one silent throughout the entire ordeal was Alizée, she did not know what to say so she used her right to remain quiet.

"Forget it, don't you want to hear what affinities I have?"

Deciding to change the subject, I brought out my test results. And like I expected everyone's mood turned excited.

"Yes! So what affinities do you have? Quickly tell us?"

Nuri shouts with excitement as the others too gave a nod, prompting me to speak.

"He has chaos and space affinities same as mine."

Just as I was about to open my mouth, Tiamat spoke before me. She told me she has something to do and told me to come here alone.

(Just say yes and nod your head. I'll do all the talking.)

I heard her words in my mind, looks like she is afraid I might say something wrong.

I did as she said and nodded my head.

"Really! That's great. Then he will be very strong."

Apep exclaimed happily.

"Ahh, so unfair. I also want to use space magic. I'm jealous!"

Ehecatl pouted, she truly wish to have space magic as Tiamat. She explained it will be easier for her to avoid her work, she also won't have to fly anymore to travel. 

"Congratulations! Ethan, I'm very happy for you. With the powers of chaos and space, you will be very strong in the future. So work hard."

Leviathan congratulates me.

I smile and assured them.

"Of course, I will work hard."

'Still, it will be easier. I have the system..'

[Yes, Don't worry master. As long as you work hard you will become the most powerful.]

(Thanks.)

"That's why I decided to start his training from tomorrow. I will personally train him, our powers are the same after all."

Tiamat informed us. Well, I have no problems with her training me.

With that out of the way, everything for today comes to an end. My aunts left after bidding farewell, Alizée took a random room for herself in between my and Tiamat's room, for her work efficiency.

After that, we also went to our rooms to rest...

*********

(Hey system, I'm an S-rank beast right? so why do I have to train?)

[Master is half right. You have the potential to reach the S-rank, you are not an S-rank. If you don't train the most you can grow as you get older will probably be expert-stage. In the expert stage, you transform your force to intent. However, in the imperial stage you materials your domain. A domain is the projection of your will, it displays the effect you want to achieve with your powers. So without enough proficiency in using your powers, you will not be able to make a domain. Even the system cannot help you. ]

Huh..that makes sense. If I don't even know myself, what I want to do with my very own powers. How will I manifest a domain?

Currently, I'm resting on my bed alone. Today was hectic, to say the least, I killed for the first time. Rescued my first capture target Alizée and even got her as my new maid. All-n-all a lot happened today.

I'm pondering what to do with my skill points and all the AP and KP I accumulated as the shop is open now.

After thinking hard and weight the pros and cons, I choose to use my skill points on space as this will be my go-to ability because I can't use destruction magic in public.

(System, use all the skill points on space magic.)

[Understood.]

[Space magic level up 3x

Space magic is now level 4

4 more skill points left.]

Fuck...? Only 3 levels..!

{System, how many points does it take to level up?}

[Master, the points needed to level up increases every next level, the constant used to multiply is four. You need a total of 50 points to upgrade space magic to 2-order.]

Shit...
