As Riveria turned to leave, Sol suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, and have the men come back in the afternoon."

With an amused roll of her eyes, Riveria noted how Sol always preferred to separate the men and women when renewing their favors.

Irelia, whom Riveria held in high regard, was the first to enter. During the short delay, Sol had restored the bed to its usual, neat state.

"Come here," he said, patting the freshly made bed.

"Thank you," Irelia replied, fully prepared. The moment she released her grip on her cloak, her clothes slipped off effortlessly as she lay on the bed, a subtle hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Without keeping her waiting, Sol pricked his already injured finger and drew a line of fresh blood across Irelia's smooth, jade-white back.

Sacred text emerged on her skin, and her attribute values began to rise rapidly. Then, in a flash, all her stats reset to zero.

Instead, the level displayed behind her name changed.

Development Abilities: 

[Hunter: E] [Abnormal Resistance: E] [Magic Defense: E] [Spiritual Healing: F] [Dancer: I]

Irelia's stat sheet looked impressive, and she'd gained a unique development ability, "Dancer"—an unfamiliar trait, though unknown abilities like this often turned out to be valuable.

And she'd fully activated the Conqueror Rune as well. Now at LV6, Irelia had five development abilities, indicating she'd acquired a new one with every level up. For perspective, even Alfia at LV8 only had six development abilities, one of which was adapted from a recovery rune.

Thrilled by Gnar's promotion the night before, Sol felt even happier now with two new LV6s in a single day. And with so many team members still waiting for updates, who knew what other surprises awaited?

However, not everyone would level up today—especially advanced adventurers moving from LV5 to LV6.

Yet, the family's cherished daughter, Eina, successfully advanced to LV5, becoming the second promotion of the morning.

Just as Sol was about to celebrate, he noticed something strange in Eina's updated status and fell into contemplation.

Development Abilities: 

[Magic: E] [Abnormal Resistance: E] [Spiritual Healing: H] [Enlightenment]

On the surface, everything seemed normal—until Sol noticed her latest development ability was "Enlightenment," appearing as her fourth. 

But was it really 'that' kind of enlightenment?

And this new magic—"Catastrophe"—why did it have the ominous feel of a villainous boss's skill?

Typically bright and optimistic, Eina had never shown any signs of malice or resentment toward the world. Had she encountered something unsettling in the dungeon?

"What exactly is this 'Catastrophe' skill?" Sol mused. Both the name and the chant gave off an ominous aura.

And it was a curse—a wide-range annihilation curse. How many people did she plan on cursing at once?

Magic, they say, reflects the wielder's intentions, so what exactly was Eina's will?

Had she endured something terrible in the dungeon?

Unable to fathom any other reason, Sol scratched his head, looking at her in concern.

"Um…Eina-chan…"

"Yes, Dad? Is something wrong?" Eina asked, noticing his hesitation.

"Oh, no, nothing's wrong," Sol replied with a hesitant smile, unsure whether to show her the parchment.

The moment of decision was short-lived. Eina tilted her head curiously, her wide, innocent eyes fixed on him.

"Is there a problem with my blessing?"

"Not at all," he said, gritting his teeth. "Congratulations, you've reached LV5."

Sol handed her the parchment, reasoning that any promotion was still good news. Besides, if needed, he could offer her some guidance later.

Rather than delegating to Riveria, Sol decided to let Aina take Eina out to enjoy the upcoming Monster Festival to lift her spirits.

"Alright, who's next?" he called, determined to keep his daughter's bright future on track.
