Chapter 8 – Battles inside the tower. Experience points.
I killed the three goblins and received a total of three experience points. Honestly, it's very little. Fortunately, the system doesn't consume magic stones for this; I still earn them and can exchange them for money.
I placed the three magic stones in the cloth bag that Hestia had used to store the weapons. She gave me this bag precisely to store magic stones and items.
After nearly an hour, I accumulated 12 magic stones and 12 experience points.
But now, speaking of my current stats.

I finally felt the difference, mainly in my movement speed and reaction. Now that my agility is 45, I could easily beat Usain Bolt's record.
Moreover, I can move my hands so fast that the goblins and kobolds on the first floor can't react. In other words, it was easy, very easy. It's so easy that I'm considering going straight to the second floor.
Lizards will appear from the second floor onward, and the goblins and kobolds will get a little stronger. But it's not something I should worry about.
"Let's continue."
I began to run and advance, searching for the path to the second floor. It wasn't so hard to find since the "maze" wasn't that complex. I even encountered some people on the way.
However, they completely ignored me. It was as if I didn't exist.
Then, I reached the second floor.
The bluish walls of the dungeon surrounded me as I pondered what to do. There were three paths to follow. After thinking for a while, I decided to take the middle path, where there were probably more monsters.
And after a few minutes, a small group appeared.
They were all kobolds.
Ugly monsters with dog-like heads. All four of them were unarmed and used their claws to attack.
"This will be easy." I advanced at high speed. Before the kobolds could react, my sharp sword spun through the air and cut off the heads of two. They turned into black smoke and disappeared.
A magic stone and an item were left on the ground. They were Kobold Nails, items that these monsters drop.
The other kobolds, realizing that it would be stupid to fight me, tried to flee, but I thrust my sword into the throat of one of them and kicked the other against the wall. Its head collided with the dungeon wall, and it became dizzy.
I stepped on it!
Then I stepped on its head and pressed it against the dungeon wall, causing it to die.
I picked up the stones and the items and stored them.
After that, the monster massacre continued. Since the number of monsters was higher, I managed to gather many stones and items in a few hours, and I finally reached 50 experience points.
When I reached 50 experience, a new system notification arrived. However, I closed it and decided to leave the dungeon before looking at it. It was easy to leave since I memorized the way.
I have a great memory... for things that can help.
I left the dungeon, and when I did, I saw that the sun was already setting. It took longer than I thought. All the adventurers were already heading home. I could hear many of them planning to go to a restaurant.
'They're going to the Hostess of Fertility. I want to visit that place soon. Maybe I'll meet Ais and the Loki Familia people there. But let's leave that for later.'
Where's Hestia? I thought she would be out here waiting for me.
With my bag of magic stones and items in hand, I went straight to the guild to exchange all this for money. When I arrived, I had to wait in line to be served.
When it was my turn, Rose helped me. She took the stones and items and counted them.
"How was it? Was it your first time entering the tower?"
"It was easier than I expected. My stats are higher than normal."
"That's good to hear. I hope you level up quickly," Rose said in a monotone tone.
After receiving the money, I thanked her and headed towards the church. When I got there, however, everything was dark. Hestia didn't seem to be around. "Maybe she went to buy something somewhere? I was going to prepare dinner for us."
I think Hestia can cook, but I want to make one of the dishes I learned in my old world. I just don't know if I'll get the ingredients in this world, but I think they all exist here.
"Goddess?" I entered the church. Everything was open, and I walked slowly to the room. When I entered, I found Hestia sleeping on the sofa in the room. She was sleeping peacefully with her pets, almost exposed.
I approached the sofa and stared at her for a few seconds. I even thought about doing something, but that would be shitty. Besides, sexual abuse is disgusting. I won't touch a sleeping woman.
Unless when the woman passes out during sex like Julia.
"Goddess, I'm back. Hey, Goddess." I touched Hestia's delicate shoulder and called her. After some time, she finally woke up.
"Hm? Huh? What happened? Did someone die?"
"No one died. Here." I placed the bag of coins on the table.
"You really got money!"
"What's that? Did you think I couldn't kill anything in the dungeon?"
"I did!"
"You don't need to be that honest."
"I will use this money to buy something tasty for us. I'll be right back!" Hestia took the bag of coins and was preparing to leave, but I grabbed her shoulders and held her back.
"Wait a minute! Let's not spend all this money buying ready-made food. Is there a fire here? Where I can cook with you. We'll spend less money if we buy ingredients and prepare the food."
"Do you know how to cook?"
"Yes, I know how to cook. Don't you want to try my food?" I smiled.
"I'm not confident in your culinary skills..." Hestia said. She's not joking this time.
"Don't worry, I promise I know how to cook. I'll buy the ingredients and be right back. Is there a shop nearby?"
After Hestia told me where to buy the ingredients, I bought everything I needed before returning to prepare the food. When Hestia tasted the pasta with white sauce that I prepared, the first thing she did was scream, "IT'S DELICIOUS!"
She devoured it.
