"You aren't the first to think that and I doubt you'll be the last." I said with a chuckle. I took the dishes from her and left the room to go clean them. While I did that she got up and took a shower to clean up. When she came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a bathrobe while her hair was wrapped in a towel I raised an eyebrow at her. "What I took three days off work so I'm not in a hur...

Immediately flames burst in existence along the carapace of the big fucking bug.
"I fucking knew it!" I yelled with a wide grin seeing this.
For context I had thought it odd that the bug had such a bright red coloration and yet not a hint of fire and if anything seemed more like a physical fighter than anything else what with the charging and scorpion stinger and all. For some weird...

"What did you do!?" the dude demanded furiously as he started to squirm and resist again.
"Naturally I just made sure you couldn't bitch out before I had my fun is all. It's so very rare that I get people I wouldn't have any moral issue with experimenting on. Did you know that the anatomy of monsters and people are vastly different? I don't mean the obvious shit like organs and the mana s...

"What about his cellular depletion? You might have cost him years of his life!" she yelled sternly.
"Hardly, his cells are bursting with vitality now. If anything he'll live even longer." I answered calmly.
She calmed down "so what your telling me is that you are absolutely sure he'll recover from this?" she asked firmly.
"He'll more than recover, he'll be stronger than ever a...

If anything though I was looking forward to opening that vault now that I had roughly gauged Athenas trait pool. I'm not sure if the vault monsters sealed in the vaults were originally from the planets they were sealed away on but if that was the case I was curious what sort of monster could have been born on this planet. Obviously it would be some sort of mutant but most mutations were hardly ...

I failed to find any monsters on the first few floors as most of them had been killed already by other adventurers that took the same path down. That said I was sure that there were monsters on the rest of the floors beyond my path. It was only on the fourth floor that I came across a pair of Goblins that were likely fresh spawns. They charged me without hesitation but they may as well have bee...

"I understand but I have a question. Why not spread sage mode since you clearly can? Surely having many sages would help the village greatly so why not?" Kakashi asked seriously.
I sighed and shook my head "You are misunderstanding something. You are looking at sage mode as if it were merely another technique like the [rasengan]. The truth is not so simple. Sage mode is a dangerous crutch...

Honestly I wasn't sure if I should feel flattered or concerned about this matter. In the end I just shrugged "I'll need a shower first since I've been in the wilderness this whole time and definitely not at my freshest." I say casually.

Nice as I believed the trait would be the price stung a little if I'm being honest. Twenty K for a trait was not cheap and likely never would be. That didn't even take into consideration that traits might get more expensive in the future as I got stronger. Right now my body was sorta like a blank slate with plenty of room for improvement and upgrade. But eventually it would get covered in trait...

Messing with Kakashi aside I wasn't actually being deceitful as whether it was relative to the normal time it took to learn sage mode or in general this training shouldn't take very long at all. Maybe a month in total if Kakashi doesn't slack off. Compared to the years it normally would take this was ridiculously fast. In peaceful times like now a month was also quite a short amount of time to ...

Maya rolled her eyes at that but didn't argue since I was right. Besides that one monk I shot the ear off of I hadn't harmed a hair on the any of their heads.

Tossing these existential crisis provoking thoughts aside I focused my mind on the task ahead of me, preparing for my second expedition. Miach tried to persuade me to postpone my expedition or even outright cancel it but I was firm in my refusal. Still even though he couldn't get me to do so didn't mean he wasn't going to try his best to make sure I returned from it. As a result I ended up with...

Unlike every other sage I knew of I understood that sage mode didn't give you power but merely improved what you had and ONLY that. Sure it allowed you to use powerful techniques but the fact was that you had to have at least a slight foundation for whatever those techniques were before you could use them. Want to use a fire style sage jutsu? You need to know how to use a normal one first. You ...

Once I was done with my meal I paid and headed back to the manor to turn in for the night. I knew the next few days in particular were going to be a slog for me as I needed to prepare for another several days long expedition to the Great tree labyrinth. I needed to stock up on materials to remake my armor set that I had lost previously. I had already replaced my helm/mask and my weapon so it wa...

Kakashi frowned "In that case shouldn't any genjutsu user of decent skill be able to perceive natural energy?" he asked confused.
I scoffed at the question "Who says they don't? I told you it's like seeing color for the first time so while they may be able to "see" the energy they ignore it most of the time because it's not chakra and thus not worth their time in their minds. You'd be ama...

I have to admit that without those previous experiments on spatial expansions and the improvements I'd had since then making this bag would have been much more difficult. Not to say this was easy at all as in truth I needed four whole mana potions just to complete the thing in addition to nearly a full twenty hours of uninterrupted concentration. By far this was one of the most complex and diff...

Amused at the special attention the dungeon showed me I walked down the rough stone steps into it's depths. The first few floors I ignored the monsters in entirely as they weren't even worth killing for my current self.

Unlike what the uninformed would think after consuming this supplement the Ariados didn't experience any real changes at all. That was simply not how supplements worked.
