Chapter 7 – First time inside the dungeon.
As soon as I got close to the church, I found Hestia waiting for me outside with anticipation. When she saw me, she had a big smile on her face. "You finally arrived. Were you still sleeping, by any chance?!"
"It's still morning… And I'm a little tired because of last night."
"What did you do last night to get so tired? Were you training or something?"
"Something like that." That's not a lie. I was training. Having sex makes me stronger.
"Hmmm…" Hestia looked at me with suspicion. Is she not going to say anything about it?
Hestia soon averted her gaze and began to smile.
"Alright, here it is." Hestia picked up a cloth bag from the ground. Inside it, I could hear the sound of metal. When Hestia opened it and showed me, I saw a sword and a knife inside. They seemed like good weapons.
It wasn't a knife like Bell's, but it's enough for me now.
I took the sword and the knife, and Hestia stared at me, waiting for my opinion. I don't know much about swords and knives, but I decided to give my opinion anyway. "They look good and sharp. Did you buy these?"
"Isn't it amazing?! I got a promotion, so it wasn't that expensive. Try swinging the sword. Give it a try!"
"Sure."
This is the perfect moment to test my [Swordsmanship LV1] skill. It's probably a passive skill, so I need to swing the sword and let the skill do its job, right?
And that's what I did.
I started swinging the sword as if there was an enemy in front of me. The movements came to my mind as if they were normal for me. Even though my movements weren't perfect, there was a clear improvement.
"That's incredible! I thought you said you didn't know how to use a sword. Did you lie to me?!"
"I didn't lie to you. I had never used a sword in my life. I think I gained swordsmanship skill."
"You got a skill?! When?!"
"I think last night."
"So you were training."
"I told you I was."
"…" Hestia looked at me with suspicion again. She knows I'm lying but doesn't say anything. I should stop lying so much and not answer if she asks for something I should not answer.
What will I do if she asks if I was sleeping with a woman last night?
"Alright, it's time to go to the tower. Are you ready? I don't want you to die on the first day, so you'd better be careful."
"I feel so excited now that I heard you say that."
"Don't get too excited!"
"It was a joke… I'm a little nervous, but I think I can handle it." I'm a bit nervous but also anxious. I want to test the [Dark Magic] skill. I can't wait to use dark magic.
Am I going to look like a villain?
And then, we arrived at the entrance of the tower.
Many people were everywhere, coming and going all the time. Around, there were even some people recruiting someone to help them, like in an RPG game. And there were many item carriers here and there.
Is Lili among them?
I can't find her.
"Hey, are you listening?! I said to be careful."
"Yes, I'll be cautious, Goddess."
"Don't die, please. You're the first one who accepted to join my Familia after such a long time…" Despite my lies, she was anxious about it.
"I promise I won't die." I ruffled Hestia's hair, which was much shorter than me, and she started grumbling. Then I left her behind, walked towards the tower entrance, and focused on my goal.
My goal is to kill monsters and get money, just that.
'Doesn't this system give me some points if I kill monsters? Because evolving just by having sex is hard. I'll have to sleep with women every day.'
Not that I'm complaining, but not every woman will want to sleep with me. And I'll not have money to pay a prostitute every day.
'That's why I have to build a harem. To have an infinite menu of pussies to use whenever I want.'
Oh man, I can't think about that here; getting a hard-on inside the tower would be an offence to the gods, wouldn't it?

When I entered the tower, the first thing I noticed was the different atmosphere inside. It was very different from the exterior climate. It was a bit humid and had a very heavy atmosphere I had never felt before.
'Even though it's the first floor, many people must have died in this place.'
On the way, I encountered some adventurers but completely ignored them and focused on searching for monsters.
'On this first floor, there are mainly goblins and kobolds, so I don't think I should worry.' I gripped the handle of my sharp sword and moved forward. And then, the first enemies appeared.
In a narrow corridor, three goblins walked together. Two of them were armed, and one of them was unarmed. I entered a combat position, and the three goblins noticed my presence.
With the [Swordmanship LV1] skill, I can know what to do and move my body better.
Kiiikk!
Kik!
The goblins advanced at high speed, making strange noises. I spun my body, and my sword passed through the neck of the goblin in front. Then, its body turned into a magic stone.
[You received one point of experience!]

"Oh? I thought I could only get stronger by having sex, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's much more similar to an RPG than I imagined. But it was to be expected."
I'm in the world of Danmachi! It's impossible for the system not to let me get stronger using the tower.
