"System, show everything in a way so that I can see the difference about how much I've grown." Rio requested as he watched the stats, but since he already forgot what they were 3 weeks ago, he couldn't be sure what changed and what he should focus more on. 

Rio said and ignored the useless details and focused more on stuff which actually changed over time.

Looking at his stats which have increased a little due to all the training that he had to do, a smile came to his face. 

'Now I know why those MC's written in novels suddenly become training maniacs once they reincarnate. It really does feel nice to see how much I've grown stronger on a screen.'

'Is this why those gym junkies take photos standing in front of a mirror.' Rio thought but ignored the useless stuff the next second. 

His intelligence didn't increase which was expected, as he didn't really come across something which was hard for him to learn yet or something that he already didn't know. Rest everything was increasing at its own pace. According to this pace every stat attribute would soon cross the limit of 10 and he could rank up to proper F rank. 

One rank up in a month or two, that doesn't sound so bad. Well it is to be expected, and my speed will only increase once my body is fully accustomed to everything. 

Ranking up from F rank to E rank was much harder than ranking up from E to D. This was cause F ranker's had just awakened and they need to spent much time so they can build a good foundation and their bodies properly adapt to the new changes mana brought. But E rankers don't need to waste time on this useless bullshit as their bodies are already used to this process, and they can directly focus on ranking up. 

*** (Author explained the ranking up of anyone in his novel is somewhat similar to building a house. Where making a base was hard(awakening and low ranks), then continuing the work was easy(mid ranks), but as you reach higher it becomes hard again(high ranks) and ceilings were the toughest part(limiters). 

**Obviously it only works on newbies cause as the rank goes higher and higher, the time and effort needed to gain even a single point is hard. 

Rio had started learning some basic spells of his darkness element and shadow element with Myra, and practicing foundation sword art with Esme, both were slowly progressing. Due to his training with Artemis and constant use of mana and his element, the mastery of both his blessings have been increasing a little too. With Nyx's blessing he could now control his element a little better. While Skuld's strings of mana had given him better control over mana as a whole. But damn mastering it was hard. After trying for 3 weeks daily, all he could learn was 6% . And this was only the first level. Thinking thus far he looked at the details of this blessing again

—---Strings of mana

Type - Active(blessing) 

Description - Strings of Mana is a fundamental skill that grants the user the ability to perceive mana as intricate threads or strings. With this skill, the user gains a basic understanding of mana and its flow. Over time one can convert their own mana into ethereal strings. Mana consumption depends on the proficiency, and proficiency depends on the hard work and effort you put in. 

At Level 1, this blessing provides a basic spell that allows the user to create mana strings and manipulate them to a limited extent, granting them a form of telekinetic control over the strings.

– The control and strength of strings depends on the mana invested in it. Once fully mastered others will not be able to perceive or interact with the strings unless they possess similar mana perception abilities.

– This skill is the basic version of Skuld's skill threads of destiny. Depending on the proficiency of the user one can unlock other abilities over time. 

– Can be merged and progressed further with a similar blessing of fate.

After looking at his status and blessings, Rio's focus came on the last thing this system had 

System points - 14550 > 41750

 [Deducting points for using protection methods

 41750 - 10000 = 31750 remaining]

Rio had high hopes for these, as he pretty much did many things, but due to all the trainings and other stuff, he would be too tired to look at these numbers clearly and argue with the system. But looking at the numbers now it was too much for him to be calm. 

"System, come out right now. What happened to my points? Why're they so low and why are you even deducting points for doing your job?"

[Host, need I remind you, that plot hasn't started yet. Every service I give is my choice and not a requirement. Without that protection function you'd be a chick on a chopping board, I even warned you it will cost you. And you agreed to it, so don't back out on your words now and blame me.]

[As for your points, it's quite simple. I'll give you the summary for your actions in the past weeks so you can see for yourself -

1000 points for stealing the chances made for other people

10000 points for altering the fate of Artemis Raven 

5000 points for altering the fate of Kevin Blake

5000 points for getting Skuld's blessing

2500 points for altering the fate of ??? 

2700 points for getting the attention of several Gods.

500 points for altering the fate of Aina Narcius

500 points for changing the fate of goddess Psyche

There, this is all you did and what you got, now you understand.]

"Well these points are still less than what I expected. But I guess I can milk out much more in this event. Rebecca and Bernhardt, these 2 will practically be enough for me to get a lot of points."

Rio said as he skimmed through the notifications, he noticed that he had nearly gotten 25000 points just for the lies that he told to Artemis.

 'Those lies had changed the plot a lot I guess.'

Rio thought, but stopped as he read the final notification, it was confusing. He didn't do anything that could get him so many points of Psyche. Unless. 

"System, Psyche didn't see anything right. You said that. Then why am I getting points for her?"

[I don't know? As I said, no one can look past the veil of secrecy I created, so maybe it's just cause she found something interesting in you. Might be your luck helping you out, cause in the novel she didn't even look at you.]

"Well that's good then. As long as she doesn't bring trouble it's fine. Her plotline is nothing special to notice anyways."

"Hey system, we haven't received any notification of Cassandra right? When was the last we heard from her?" Rio said as he remembered about the pitiful goddess who was supposed to give her blessing to Noah and rise in fame, but now her chances were ruined too. 

[She was watching when you were lying about Fate's blessing, after that she hasn't been looking.]

"Do you think she can guess that I killed her chosen Noah because I saw something in my fate."

[Hard to say. But even if she does notice it, she can't do anything now or prove anything. She's still cursed, so maybe she's blaming that for her failed visions.] Rio nodded his head hearing that, as the system continued [Despite even if she knows why you killed Noah, she didn't care about him enough at this point in time, to go against Skuld or Nyx or your family. So ignore her for now.]

Rio thought and let her be. There were nearly 8 years till plot starts, and 3 years more until the Gods get serious, so a total of 11 years of time. "You're right. I'll get her once the plot starts anyway. After all, just like Skuld, there is something she wants too. I just have to promise to give her that and she'll be in the villain camp too."

'Wonder what tricks the heavens will pull once that happens. Will it give protagonist another seer or will a new goddess with those powers pop up.'

[There you go again]
