[Day 77]
Yesterday I learned that I spent almost an entire day evolving (and that's why it is day 77, as yesterday was day 76, one day after day 75 which is where I went to evolve).And it made me feel a bit bad! I left the poor Benladann for an entire day alone…
Well, not really, she said she was with the wolves, Fuyu is also becoming quite talkative, and there is also Yuki here, so she is never really alone, which is honestly quite nice.
The wolves were getting closer to rank up again, Frost might become Rank 2 at the same time as Yuki perhaps… and Benladann too! Maybe they're synchronized? Although I believe Benladann might end up out speeding them with her greater talent at magic.
Today I resumed the creation of my second super ice weapon, which was going to be a blade, but it will take a while to get it right and as powerful as Skadi…
Anyways, I woke up to Benladann embracing me with her warm and strong arms, she really likes me to get smaller so she can hug me like this.
Oi, I am not a puppy or something!
Well, I only get around the same size as her, so I would be like a giant puppy…I try to get off her powerful arms without disturbing her sleep, but she is holding me incredibly tightly.
Ungh…! Is this the power of the descendant of a titan?!
Man, I can see the veins of her muscular arms pumping blood, she really doesn't want to let me go!
I glance at her blue-skinned arms as they grip me tightly…
And her skin doesn't even get fazed by my sharp metallic scales because she has dragon skin after drinking my blood, it is literally incredibly hard to slice her skin unless some sort of strong blade of technique is used.
And it seems that as she develops, her skin becomes harder as well, just like my scales. I didn't even know that such an Ability could evolve over time like that!
Because I can't get her off me, I decided to see her stats at the very least…

…
Yes, I can already see that she developed a lot, her stats grew a lot in these little days! She told me she has been taking care of the slimes that appeared yesterday, and even ate some of the jellies, but it didn't really give her any ability, but because they were ice attribute materials, they gave her a nice amount of power, like eating a Pill I guess. But because we are all Ice Attribute beings, we can just eat the materials to get benefits.
She also developed something named Ore Skin… Is this why her skin is just fine by touching my sharp scales?!
[Ore Skin]
Makes the user's skin as hard as ore, enhanced by Vitality Stat.
…
As simple as that…
She also got Magic Enhancement from her Magic Genius Ability, probably as a branched ability of sorts… I swear she is getting way too strong.
And she seems to have transformed the two spells he had about Mold into true Abilities? I don't understand how it really goes, but maybe the invisible system of this world recognizes when someone uses a technique or spell a lot and it becomes their innate ability afterward.
Is it weird? Or maybe just part of my system affecting her somehow? System, can you tell me?
<Answer: The System is partially affecting those you teach techniques, spells, and more, giving them the ability to earn faster proficiency and learn abilities permanently>
What? That's kind of broken! So seeing them like game characters is actually kind of partially making them one too?
<Answer: Kind of…>
Kind of?! What with the half-assed answer?
<Answer: System A.I. is not completely sure, but it seems that your Unique Skill: System, is somewhat affecting not only those around you but the world as well. The more you develop, the more these changes will become evident. However, those closest to you will be the ones benefited for the most part>
…
Well, that was a big reveal…
So if becoming a God, will I be able to use the System to take over the world?
<Answer: That sounds stupid>
Eh? You're becoming way more expressive out of nowhere… Oh, is this because I evolved?
<Answer: Perhaps. By evolving, the System A.I. evolves as well>
So that's it…
Ugh…
System, can you give me a way to escape Benladann's bear hug without waking her up?
<…>
<…>
<…>
<Answer: Impossible>
…Thank you, very reassuring.
However, Benladann suddenly wakes up.
"Mwuh… Ah… Drake… Good morning…" she said, her sleepy face was utterly adorable… Damn, just how beautiful is this woman?!
"Good morning… Benladann, can you free me from your grasp a bit?" I asked.
"Mweh? Oh!"
Benladann quickly realizes that she was gripping my torso with her strong arms, but doesn't stop…
Instead, she starts rubbing her face on my own as she hugs me tighter.
"But I love to hug you, Drake! It makes me feel… nice," she said.
Ah… D-Do you have to say such embarrassing things?!
"I see… Well, I am glad…" I said.
"Mwuh~"
Benladann suddenly kisses my snout as she smiles cutely, and frees me at long last.
"Let's go have breakfast, hehe,"
Seriously this girl is going to kill me out of cuteness…
