Chapter 2 - It's On, Not Off

Otherworldly Isotopes.

This was the name Lynn gave to his own cheat.

Though he didn't know the reason, something went wrong when he transmigrated, causing him to transmigrate into many worlds simultaneously.

This the mist-filled plaza was the platform that connected the different versions of himself together.

Here, as long as Lynn touches his other-world selves, he can obtain the memories and powers they share.

Through exploration, Lynn and the others had gained a certain understanding of the scope of this sharing.

The sharing of power was divided into three directions: physical fitness, mental strength, and skills.

The sharing of memories depended on how much permission the sharer was willing to grant.

Lynn's cooking skills were able to improve so quickly because he had obtained over twenty years of diligent cooking memories from Chef Lynn.

As for the Lynn in front of him, dressed as a samurai...

He had transmigrated into the world of Demon Slayer.

Compared to DanMachi Lynn and Chef Lynn, Demon Slayer Lynn's experiences were somewhat more tragic.

After transmigrating into the Demon Slayer world, he became a bottom-tier vagrant living in the slums, and before long, he was attacked by a demon.

If it hadn't been for the good luck of a Demon Slayer Corps member passing by, he would have lost his life right there.

However, it was precisely that experience that made Demon Slayer Lynn realize which world he had transmigrated into.

For self-preservation, he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, and shortly after that, he came to the Mist Space.

Through sharing, Demon Slayer Lynn's physical fitness greatly increased, and he quickly learned a Breathing Technique.

His appearance in the Mist Space this time was to announce this good news.

Sharing the newly learned Thunder Breathing, Demon Slayer Lynn looked at the two people in front of him.

"How is it? Can you learn it?"

"It seems I can."

"No problems on my side either."

DanMachi Lynn and Chef Lynn replied.

The worlds where the three of them were located theoretically all possessed supernatural powers.

However, the things the three could currently access were limited; both DanMachi Lynn and Chef Lynn were still in their respective' starting villages'.

On the contrary, Demon Slayer Lynn, who was the last to join the Mist Space, was the first to come into contact with special powers.

"It's good that you can learn it; this way, you'll have some self-preservation ability in your respective worlds."

Demon Slayer Lynn looked at DanMachi Lynn: "The next Final Selection is in two months. Before then, I will increase my proficiency in the Breathing Technique as much as possible; the improvement in physical fitness will depend on you."

DanMachi Lynn nodded: "No problem."

They were all the same person and knew exactly what was beneficial for themselves.

In fact, after sharing their memories, they had already formulated a plan to become stronger.

Demon Slayer Lynn would improve his Breathing Technique proficiency and martial arts, while DanMachi Lynn would rely on those to go to the Dungeon to kill monsters and grow stronger, updating his blessing to increase his proficiency.

As for Chef Lynn, he only needed to work hard on improving his cooking skills.

Food is the first necessity of the people; he who wins hearts with food wins the world.

Although it seemed unremarkable, both Demon Slayer Lynn and DanMachi Lynn had relied on the other's cooking skills to obtain their first pot of startup capital.

From this perspective, Chef Lynn was the MVP among the three.

...

 

DanMachi World.

Leaving the Mist Plaza, Lynn walked out of the room and found Hestia.

"Update the blessing?"

Hestia, who was slurping noodles, blinked, a hint of confusion appearing on her face.

"Lynn, did you go to the Dungeon?"

"I didn't go, but I took some time to exercise and wanted to see if my ability values have increased."

"Hmm, I see."

Hestia suddenly understood.

Because there was a Dungeon right beneath them, Orario's Adventurers would always head to the Dungeon to fight after receiving a blessing.

But in reality, actual combat was only one channel for increasing ability values; as long as one worked hard enough, daily training could also increase them.

Lynn had only recently received his blessing, and it was the time when he was most concerned about his own growth.

To be able to wait a week before updating his ability values seemed very restrained to her.

"No problem, let's update it right now."

Hestia put down her bowl and led Lynn to the bed deep in the room.

"Take off your clothes."

"Okay."

Lynn took off his clothes, revealing sturdy shoulders and eight neat abdominal muscles.

"Eh? Lynn, have you gotten buff?"

Hestia tilted her head and reached out her small hand to poke Lynn's abs; they were rock hard.

In her memory, when she had carved the blessing onto Lynn eight days ago, he wasn't this sturdy.

"My talent is relatively good; I turned out like this after a few days of training," Lynn replied casually.

In reality, this was the result of him sharing the achievements of the other Lynns.

Whether it was cooking or slaying demons, both required high physical fitness.

To become stronger, Chef Lynn and Demon Slayer Lynn exercised their bodies every day.

Furthermore, there was another point: the flow of time differed between worlds.

Although only a week had passed on Lynn's side, both Chef Lynn and Demon Slayer Lynn had spent a long time in their respective worlds.

Especially Chef Lynn; from the communication just now, he learned that six months had already passed on that side, which was surprisingly fast.

The training of the two combined manifested in Lynn as a sudden surge in physical fitness, turning him from an ordinary person into a muscular man.

And this was also the reason Lynn asked Hestia for help in updating the blessing.

He wanted to test whether the training results of Demon Slayer Lynn and Chef Lynn, as well as the newly learned Breathing Technique, could be reflected in the blessing.

"Here, these are the tools."

Lynn handed the needle, paper, and pen to Hestia and turned to lie face down on the bed.

"I'll leave it to you then."

"No problem!"

Hestia climbed onto the bed, her towering peaks swaying, making Lynn, who happened to look back, feel a bit dizzy.

Adjusting her posture to sit on Lynn, Hestia used the needle to prick her fingertip and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the dense text on Lynn's back.

Although it was her first time performing a blessing update, Hestia had already learned the process in advance.

Pressing her slender finger on the spot where the blood dropped, Hestia used it as a starting point to draw lines to the side, updating the blessing on Lynn's body.

"Eh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Lynn, your ability values have increased so much, and there's a new skill."

Hestia picked up the paper and pen and copied the updated blessing content onto it.

"See for yourself."

"Lynn, have you encountered anything recently?"

"No."

"Liar!"

Hestia didn't believe a word of it.

Although Hestia hadn't been in the lower world for long, she still had an understanding of the Blessing System.

Skills are related to a person's essence and state of mind.

It was impossible for a new skill to appear just by lying down and sleeping.

"Alright, I did indeed encounter some things."

Lynn replied: "I found my true self."

"Found your true self?"

Hestia tilted her head.

Even if their divine power was sealed, gods were still gods and could tell if a child of the lower world was lying.

She could see that Lynn's words were true.

But the problem was, how could a person just find their true self out of the blue.

"You didn't get a sudden impulse and secretly run off to the Dungeon, did you?"

Between life and death is when it's easiest to achieve great enlightenment.

In Hestia's mind, a picture had already emerged of Lynn getting tired of fried rice, running to the Dungeon to fight monsters for three hundred rounds, and attaining enlightenment on the spot.

"I didn't go to the Dungeon."

This sentence was the truth.

"Then how did you find your original self?"

"I found it after taking a nap."

Eh? That's also the truth?

Hestia's eyes widened, her face showing an expression of disbelief.

"That's not logical!"

"It's very logical."

"But... how exactly did you do it? Why would taking a nap lead to awakening and finding your true self?!"

"I turned on the cheats and didn't turn them off."

"..."

Hestia fell into silence.

She couldn't understand why this strange reply still didn't have even a hint of a lie; it was all the truth.

"By the way, Hestia, from tomorrow onwards, I won't be setting up my food stall for a while."

"Eh? Why?"

Hestia's attention was diverted.

"Cultivating on the surface is still too slow; it's more efficient to go to the Dungeon to kill monsters."

"Hmm... alright."

As a cheerful goddess, Hestia would not restrict her child's actions.

"Speaking of which, have you bought a weapon yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then we'll go buy one together tomorrow!"

Hestia slammed the table and made the decision.

For the sake of Lynn's safety, she also had to put in some effort.
