A soft, warm body shifting against mine drew me from my slumber. My eyes blinked open and I yawned, making to raise my arms up and stretch them out.

Though I only managed the one.

Because the other was being used as a hug pillow by Hestia, both her arms wrapped around it, while her legs were encircled around one of mine.

It was a bit awkward for my body since I was basically a body pillow for her right now, but I'm not complaining.

Especially feeling those huge breasts of her smothering around my arm. I have no idea how a pair of tits as big as my head, can be so perky, yet so soft at the same time, it should almost be near genetically impossible for natural breasts that large to not sag at all.

Yet, despite their size they stood high, proud and everlastingly perky on my goddesses chest.

Still, there are no complaints to me, praise be to the divine and all that, I'm quite, no, immensely happy that Hestia is so overly affectionate with me and very clingy in her sleep.

Though I'm glad she hasn't ended up rolling on top of me and waking up. For…specific reasons.

I glanced at my morning wood tenting out my boxers massively, as if I'd crammed a spear down there.

…Perhaps my only complaint really was that with how small our current living space is, I've not really got much privacy unless Hestia is working to crank a few out and take the edge off.

Two days have passed, this would be the third since I took my second trip into the dungeon, and I've managed to jack off all of once since then. Between my frequent trips to the dungeon and strolling through the city to get a feel for the layout of it all, I wasn't alone in here much, and while I could do it in the bathroom, Hestia would probably start asking questions if I was in there for too long.

Sometimes, not being a one pump chump could have its drawbacks.

I gently eased myself out of Hestia's grip and swung myself off the small bed. I was clad only in my boxers.

Thanks to one of the skills I got from the Infant Dragon's magic stone I devoured a few days ago, I could regulate my body temperature as I pleased, so I didn't really need anything to keep me warm.

I poked at my abs.

No pain.

I felt no pain at all actually, despite the fact that I'd been working out quite a bit before bed. I don't have any healing abilities, but with just the base falna alone, my recovery rate is far superior to what it was before I got it.

Delayed onset muscle soreness from a standard workout, wasn't a thing for me anymore it seemed.

The gains are real.

In just a bit below a week since I got here, my muscles have bulked noticeably and my abs, while slightly noticeable before and decently defined, stood out proudly. I think I've even grew about an inch.

…I wish I could say that was all my own efforts, but while my base physique was pretty great before this, the progress from there was because of my skill.

'Evolving physiology towards a pinnacle body, huh?' I mused, glancing over at the piece of paper sitting on the rickety night stand beside the bed. It had my latest falna update from last night just before I went to sleep.

Magic

​In the last two to three days, my stats have practically doubled. It was a stupendously fast growth. I think it took Bell a bit over a week to get stats like this after he got his special skill.

Then again, I've been making over ten pieces of crystal armour and selling them at the guild for ten thousand a pop. I've got one hundred and twenty or so thousand valis right now, but I would have had over three hundred thousand worth if not for the fact that I'd been buying magic crystals of Infant Dragons.

I'd eaten six of them in the last few days, and spent a total of one hundred and eighty thousand valis on them. That made a total of seven Infant Dragon's I'd eaten.

And it told me a lot about my skill. Well, a lot that I generally already confirmed from the Crystal Mantis magic stone I'd eaten, but the Infant Dragon ones had highlighted it.

Simply, I didn't get even close to the full strength of the monsters I ate the magic crystals of. One Infant Dragon had the strength of a level two adventurer, and a Crystal Mantis was above even them.

And the higher my stats went, the less I got out of them.

Granted, not that I'm complaining at all, just because there were some limits to my overpowered skill, does not at all mean it's not overpowered.

It's the best skill for sure.
