As I looked over the multiple screens displaying my level-up rewards, I decided to start by opening the most predictable ones first.
Like the rewards from the Alchemist job, which had given me nothing but a red mysterious shard every single time. The very first shard I had obtained had allowed me to upgrade my Plating skill, but after that, none of the others had reacted in any way.
Because of that, I had simply been storing them, hoping that collecting more might eventually reveal their true purpose.
Accept: Yes No >
Mentally selecting Yes, I instantly felt a familiar weight appear in my palm.
– Mystical Shard (Inferior)>
Just like before, the red gem sat there, completely inert.
I took out the other four shards I had collected and held them together in my hand, trying to sense any kind of reaction — but nothing happened.
Thinking it might respond differently to someone else, I even handed them to Roxanne.
There was still no change.
It seemed I would either have to experiment further… or simply keep gathering more shards through future rewards until their function revealed itself.
So far, none of the level up rewards I had received in this world had been truly useless.
That meant this stone definitely had another purpose beyond being a one-time enhancement item for Plating.
Accept: Yes No >
Putting the shards back into my item box, I moved on to another job with fairly predictable rewards — Wizard.
Until now, every reward from this job had been some form of magic gem meant for my Magic Bracelet.
I could already guess that the Level 35 reward would be a magic storing one.
While having extra magical "power banks" was certainly useful, I already possessed four of them.
At present, I rarely even needed to fully deplete two during a dungeon run. Maybe that would change on the higher floors, but for now they felt somewhat excessive — especially since I also had what was essentially an unlimited supply of mana potions.
On top of that, the bracelet itself only had six slots… and I already owned seven gems.
Honestly, it would be nice to receive something different for a change.
I shook my head, dismissing my own greedy thoughts, and mentally selected Yes.
The next instant, a familiar blue crystal materialized in my open hand.
– Enhanced Magic Gem (100%)>
"Huh… Intermediate pack? And enhanced?" I muttered, surprised by how different the notification looked compared to the earlier ones.
I quickly removed one of the existing magic gems from my bracelet and held the two side by side.
At first glance, there was absolutely no difference. They were identical in size and shape, and even the faint blue mana swirling inside them looked the same. Only by using Appraisal could I tell which one was the enhanced version.
"How exactly is this enhanced…?" I murmured skeptically.
Several possibilities came to mind.
It could simply have a larger mana capacity, even if the outward appearance hadn't changed. After all, the "100%" only indicated how full the gem was — not how much mana it could actually store in total.
Another possibility was mana quality. Maybe spells fueled by this gem would be stronger, increasing their overall attack power.
Or perhaps the enhancement affected recovery speed. The older mana gems took an entire day to fully recharge. That hadn't been much of an issue so far since I rarely stayed inside the labyrinth for extended periods… but once I started focusing on higher and longer dungeon runs, a faster refill rate would be incredibly valuable.
Still, there was no way to confirm any of this right now.
I would need proper testing — comparing the performance of both gems in actual combat scenarios — before I could be certain.
Honestly, it was frustrating how neither the level-up system nor my Appraisal skill provided detailed explanations for rewards like these.
At the very least, though, I was confident about one thing.
If my appraisal marked this gem as enhanced, then it was definitely superior to the older ones.
I had glossed over the "Intermediate Pack" part earlier, but now that I thought about it, the Level 30 Wizard reward had been Basic Pack #7.
So did that mean the rewards naturally upgraded from Basic to Intermediate after a certain threshold? And if that was the case… did an Advanced Pack exist as well?
It wasn't a strange idea. Rewards logically becoming better at higher levels made perfect sense.
But what exactly was the cutoff point?
Was it tied to reaching the 7th pack, or was it tied to hitting Level 30 itself?
If it was based on pack count, then maybe the Intermediate series would continue at levels 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, and 65… before transitioning into an Advanced series around Level 70.
And if that pattern continued, the Advanced tier might stretch across 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, and 100.
…Except there was no Level 100 in this world.
The highest attainable level was 99.
Still, this was something I could verify later.
The Explorer job had also crossed Level 35, so I could check whether its rewards had shifted into an Intermediate tier too.
But Explorer rewards were usually exceptional.
So I wanted to save that for later and focus on the more ordinary rewards first.
The next one was a bit more exciting — because it was actually two rewards at once.
My Swordsman job had jumped from Level 4 straight to Level 10, meaning I would receive both the Level 5 and Level 10 rewards.
Honestly, it might have gone even higher if I had kept the job active while farming the labyrinth trap…
But I had swapped it out for Sex Maniac instead.
And right now, that had been the more important — and far more practical — choice.
My gaze drifted briefly toward the lively group of beautiful girls chatting nearby.
…Yes. Definitely the right decision.
Accept: Yes No >
The first Swordsman reward had previously given me fundamental insights into proper sword slashing techniques. Combined with the rewards from Warrior, it had already turned me from a complete amateur into a reasonably competent fighter.
Still, Swordsman was a relatively basic job.
So I wasn't expecting anything spectacular from its level 5 reward.
I mentally selected Yes without much hesitation.
– Increase Dexterity (Slight)>
A faint tingling sensation spread through my body — most noticeably across my palms and fingers — before fading just as quickly as it had come.
I flexed my hand experimentally, clenching and unclenching my fingers.
Picking up the enhanced magic gem again, I immediately noticed the difference.
My grip felt more precise… more controlled. Almost as if I could handle fragile objects with far greater finesse.
Out of curiosity, I tossed the gem lightly into the air and caught it again with ease.
…So my hands had become more dexterous.
That was actually pretty useful.
There were quite a few situations where nimble fingers could come in very handy.
Wiping the naughty smirk off my face, I moved on to the next reward.
Accept: Yes No >
A Level 10 reward was always better than a Level 5 one, so I opened it with some anticipation.
With a soft click, a sudden rush of memories flooded my mind.
I instinctively closed my eyes and sorted through them.
These were memories of defense — of raising a sword to block incoming strikes, of understanding the correct angles and positioning, of redirecting force and deflecting potentially lethal blows.
It seemed I had just gained the fundamental knowledge required to use a sword effectively for guarding and parrying.
Opening my eyes, I glanced toward the girls seated nearby.
Combined with the techniques I had already acquired from the Warrior rewards, this knowledge could prove extremely valuable — especially for those who had never received any proper combat training.
…Looks like I would need to start setting aside time for structured training sessions.
After experiencing an Intermediate Pack reward, the basic pack ones now felt a little underwhelming in comparison.
Still, it only made me more eager to push these jobs beyond Level 30 and see what their upgraded rewards would be like.
With Swordsman's rewards finished, I shifted my focus to the Monk job.
Accept: Yes No >
Monk rewards had been fairly solid so far — skills like Tranquil State, along with various unarmed combat techniques.
And this was a Level 20 reward, so my expectations were naturally a bit higher.
Feeling slightly excited, I accepted it at once.
– Flow Step>
Oh?
That sounded like a skill.
My curiosity instantly spiked as I opened its description in a much better mood.
[Flow Step: The user can perform a short burst step that instantly closes or creates a small gap in melee range. ]
Wow… that sounded insanely useful in combat.
I would have to test it inside the labyrinth to truly understand just how practical it was in real battle situations.
I was already quite pleased to have gained a new skill, but there was still one more reward left for this job.
Accept: Yes No >
I tempered my expectations, knowing it probably wouldn't be as impressive as the previous one.
– Increase Endurance (Small)>
A tingling sensation spread across my entire body.
This time, it didn't fade immediately. Instead, I could clearly feel something within me changing.
When it finally subsided, I slowly clenched my fist.
The first thing I noticed was how… firm my skin felt.
So increasing Endurance by a small amount meant boosting the overall toughness of my body?
Did it also improve stamina and fatigue resistance?
It wasn't something I could clearly quantify right away.
But instinctively, I could tell that I had become stronger in some subtle yet meaningful way.
The Monk rewards had turned out to be surprisingly amazing.
I had originally kept this job active mainly for its healing utility… but now I found myself genuinely looking forward to what other interesting level-up rewards it might grant in the future.
There were only three jobs left now.
Saving Explorer and Hero for last, I turned my attention to the Sex Maniac job.
Honestly… this was the one I had been looking forward to the most.
No — not just looking forward to.
I desperately needed the rewards from this job to deal with my ever-growing harem.
In my previous life, I couldn't have even dreamed of something as wild as a threesome.
Now I had already experienced a night with six girls at once… and even that felt absurd when I really thought about it.
Yet as I sat here looking at this table full of beauties, I still couldn't help feeling unsatisfied.
It was like staring at a massive, delicious cake… but only being allowed to eat a single slice at a time.
And lately, the urge to devour the whole damn cake in one go had been growing stronger and stronger.
From spending nights with six girls…
to fantasizing about indulging in a full buffet with all eighteen of them at once.
Now my dream had escalated into wanting a complete, no-holds-barred orgy with every girl in my harem all at once!
To have sex with 18 girls at once, sounded ridiculous — an impossible fantasy.
But then again… wasn't this isekai itself built on impossibilities?
A land of magic where the absurd could easily become reality.
So I found myself placing all my hopes on this Sex Maniac job.
If any job reward could grant me the stamina, control, and… sheer capability to make that dream come true, it had to be this… Human racial job.
Accept: Yes No >
The rewards from this job had already been fairly useful.
I hadn't made much practical use of Seductive Touch yet, but Virility Manipulation alone had eased a huge amount of my worries.
Still, this was only a Level 15 reward.
I wasn't expecting anything too spectacular.
– Increase Vital Energy (Slight)>
A warm tingling sensation spread through my entire body, leaving me feeling strangely refreshed and invigorated.
It faded quickly, however, and I couldn't immediately pinpoint any obvious physical changes.
I had assumed the Level 15 reward would simply mirror the Level 5 one — a slight stamina increase.
But this was an increase in vital energy instead.
Considering the job it came from, it was hard not to assume the effect was related more to my sexual endurance and performance rather than my general life force.
Which… was honestly great news.
If it meant improved stamina in bed — or anything along those lines — then it was more than welcome.
And if that really was the case…
I would almost certainly find out tonight.
Accept: Yes No >
Now this was a Level 20 reward.
Most Level 20 rewards so far had granted some truly amazing skills. So I silently prayed to the gacha gods that this one would actually help with my ever-growing harem predicament.
– Climax Control>
Yes! That definitely sounded like a skill. I immediately opened its description.
[Climax Control: The user can consciously delay or hasten their own climax during sexual activity ]
…So in simple terms, this skill allowed me to control when I ejaculated.
Was that really useful?
Well… if I could delay my climax, then naturally I would be able to last much longer in bed.
And if my stamina had also increased thanks to the previous rewards, then theoretically I could keep going for multiple rounds with the girls.
Of course, deliberately holding back from cumming sounded like its own brand of torture.
But then again… if that torture meant I could keep going longer, fuck more girls, and drown myself deeper in this sweet harem hell —
Then it was definitely a price I was more than willing to pay!
