Nero, The Legendary Hunter

"Choko, take what\'s left of these Monster Cores. They don\'t work anymore for me who reached Level 12, they\'re all yours now. They\'re all level 6." Seeing Choko come out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, Nero told her this.

"My congratulations, Nero!" She didn\'t even pay attention to the fact that Nero gave her a lot of level 6 Monster Cores, but instead, she was glad Nero managed to move up to level 12. Not caring that she was only in a towel, she hugged Nero and they both fell onto the bed from the impact.

"Am I being attacked?" Nero smiled.

"Idiot…" Choko had drunken eyes looking at Nero\'s charming eyes and then she kissed her.

"Am I being taken advantage of?" After laughing between the kisses, Nero said.

Choko bit Nero\'s lower lip and pulled a little and got off her and said with her hands on her hips, "It\'s you who took advantage of me!"

"Oh? How did I do this?" Nero asked.

"You seduced me!" Choko said.

"How did I go about seducing you?" Nero found this amusing.

"Your eyes! When you looked at me with your passionate eyes, I- I... Well the rest you already know, don\'t make me say that, idiot!" Choko took off the towel and threw it at Nero and grabbed a set of clothes and dressed at lightning speed.

"Are you looking to participate in the quick dress up championship?" Nero asked.

"Like this?" Choko was confused. She was wearing a one-piece dress with pink polka dot fabric with a spaghetti strap, and she didn\'t even wear a bra, which laid out the relief of her cherries for full view.

"Nothing, no." Nero smiled and enjoyed the sight.

"Did you say before that you don\'t need any Level 6 Monster Cores anymore?" Choko remembered.

"Yes, they are useless to me." Nero nodded and added, "By the way, I got another subclass."

From Choko, she wasn\'t going to hide this information.

"Oh, tell me, what\'s your new subclass?" As always, Choko was more interested in something related to Nero than herself.

"Runic Knight, I haven\'t learned much about this class yet, but it seems to be very strong. And I gained some skills." Nero took out her Hunter Card and presented it.

"My God, your statuses are insane! You\'re basically good at everything: strength, agility, energy. It\'s just defense that isn\'t very high, but I know it\'s because it\'s a newly acquired Rank D attribute, yes?" Choko took a deep breath and looked at the skills. "Wow! Reflection damage? You don\'t take damage, so how does that work?"

"It has a chance to reflect 70% of melee physical damage taken back to the attacker, pushing them back. And as the level increases, the chances of reflecting increases," Nero smiled.

"Wow! A great passive skill... Enchanting the blade also looks good. How much does it strengthen?" Choko asked.

"Hehe, this one is even more interesting. Enchant the weapon with magic to deal magic damage on melee physical attacks. That is: the stronger I am in magic, the stronger it will be. And my forte is magic and physical strength," Nero laughed.

"Yes, this skill was made for you. My God, you\'re getting insanely strong." Choko was happy.

"The only problem is that it only lasts 2 minutes, but as the level increases, the enchantment time should increase," Nero said.

\'By the way, these leftover points I\'ll put in defense...\' Nero thought and did.

"Since you\'ve gotten so strong, I can\'t be left behind, I\'m going to push myself!" Choko was motivated and took the Monster Cores Nero left on the bed for her, which were 13 level 5, 63 level 6, and 4 level 7. With that, she would definitely reach level 9 of Rank E-.

Choko started with the level 5 Cores. She placed them on the pentagram, but before that, she reinforced it with monster blood that was already fading. Then she sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Choko didn\'t understand how the absorption speed of Nero\'s absorption of Monster Cores could be so absurdly high, but she knew it could be related to the fact that she\'s something like royalty. She was definitely a hybrid of an angel with something that didn\'t look weak. Maybe she had blood from primordial humans? They said that primordial humans were even stronger than the other races, or just as strong, but there were no more descendants of them alive, or if there were, it was well hidden. After all, they were too strong.

\'After all, she has cell regeneration as the legends say...\'

Of course, concerning this theory of Nero being of primordial human descent, Choko was going to stay silent and she wouldn\'t even share it with her best friend Jana. This was something that she would keep deep in her heart even if it was not true. After all, a lie can become seen as truth if enough start to believe that it is. God knows what would happen to Nero then.

\'Mm?\' In less than 1 hour Choko had absorbed all 13 Level 5 Monster Cores. That was fast! Placing 5 new Cores at each end of the LV6 pentagram, she went back to meditating.

It was like a magnet that attracted metal; the Monster Cores\' energy was all heading in Choko\'s direction.

Nero was further away. She didn\'t want to unintentionally pull any of the energy of Monster Cores. She also still had some Monster Cores from level 7 and decided to absorb them.

Absorbs 209 [Monster Core] Level 7 – Yes / No?

- -

\'Yes.\'

- -

[You increased: 0.24 points of strength]

[You increased: 0.24 Energy points]

[You increased: 0.24 Agility points]

[You increased: 0.24 defense points]

....

In total it was:

[12.54 Strength points]

[12.54 Energy points]

[12.54 Agility points]

[12.54 Defense points]

- -

\'The Level 10 Monster Core I better keep. I\'ll need it when I go up to Level 7...\' Nero muttered in her mind.

Meanwhile, Choko continued to meditate, sitting in the middle of the pentagram.

The mana threads were going towards her constantly. One could say that she had a very good talent for this.

(5) New Quest: [Level Up]

Why haven\'t you leveled up yet?

Objective: Reach level 7

Reward: [Valkyrie Earring and Necklace] + 25 Energy, + 20 Agility, +10 Defense - Rank E-

Reward: 300,000 Essence Coins

- -

\'Why did you skip level 6? Was it because it was too easy? Did you somehow predict the penguins would let me kill them? Damn, it\'s good to get new rewards anyway.\' Nero felt a little wronged, but she soon recovered.

\'Well, I currently have a necklace, but it only gives 6 Strength. And I don\'t have any earrings... Mm, these rewards are good and it\'s E- Rank.\' Nero was excited.

\'By the way, I\'m in need of something that gives me energy. My equipment only has some parts that give me a total of 35 energy.\' Nero lay down on the bed and sometimes looked in Choko\'s direction. Gradually, she got sleepy and fell asleep.

A few minutes later, Choko finished absorbing the five Monster Cores from level 6 and took another 5. She didn\'t start to meditate then. She looked in Nero\'s direction, and seeing her sleeping across the room and not covered with the blanket, Choko smiled and went over to her. Tucking her into bed carefully so as not to wake her up, Choko covered her with the blanket.

"Good night Nero…" She muttered as she kissed Nero\'s forehead.

"Night..."

Nero muttered as she slept, giving Choko a start. Putting her hand over her heart, Choko tried not to laugh and went back to training.

Taking a deep breath, Choko encouraged herself and went back to training.

Seconds later... Minutes later... Hours later...

It was almost 4 o\'clock in the morning.

"Finally I got it, but there\'s only 3 level 6 Monster Cores left..." Choko stretched, feeling very happy. She went to take a shower, as she smelled bad.

Coming out of the shower, she took the Hunter Card and scanned her information:

\'It\'s not as surprising as Nero\'s, but I\'m happy to be getting stronger and be able to continue with Nero...\' Rubbing her eyes, she put on her pink pajamas with a kitten cap and tucked the Hunter Card next to the bed, and peeked into the bed with Nero, careful not to wake her.

*

At noon Choko woke up. Sitting on the bed, she stretched. Nero walked over and pecked her lips.

"Good Morning." Nero prepared breakfast for them. She knew that Choko had stayed up late training, so she didn\'t wake her up.

"Come, and eat some," Nero said.

Still stunned by the kiss, Choko said, "Ohh..."

After getting up, she went to the bathroom to wash her face.

Coming back, she sat in the chair and ate bread and an egg and drank coffee to wake up.

\'I feel like a newlywed bride...\' Choko smiled and continued happily eating her bread.

Nero had already eaten. She had her right hand supporting her chin as she looked at Choko smiling.

"Is there something on my face?" Choko asked.

"Congratulations on moving up to level 9," Nero smiled.

"Of course you already knew I\'d leveled up... I wanted to surprise you..." she pouted.

"Hehe ~ It doesn\'t matter, I\'m really happy for you," Nero said.
