Is it wrong to be an Elf in a Dungeon?

28) The seasons change

...

3rd Pov

Months passed by in a blink of eyes, seasons changed and after several moons Ember finally got the peak parameters, the pinnacle of what is actually achievable without any specific ability to break through the limits.

2) N/A

3) N/A]

Ember got one more skill, and all of his parameters have hit S999, it took a lot of time, a lot of effort to each where he is now. But now he had achieved this level of strength he found himself in a dilemma. " So, the Magic didn't increase any further? ", he said as he stared at his parameters, written on a piece of paper.

" Ember, I guess they won't increase any further. The limit of known falna is S999 after all. The fact you were able to reach S999 in all parameters is already an unsurmountable feat for others. You did this in two years and half!", said Aurora cheering him up. She was a Goddess; she knew this better than anything.

All mortals have limits, their body and soul limits them, however the presence of falna, and their divine blessing helps them to elevate their body and soul to a higher level, to ascend closer to the divinity itself. Although it is not known what will happen if someone achieves the state of divinity? Will they become the fictional Demi-God? Or they will ascend to Godhood? Even the fact whether it was possible was something they didn't knew.

It was totally unknown, no matter what the Gods think unless achieved it will be a mystery and mystery is a very strong words for the Gods. For them who are Immortal and lived since the birth of Universe, mystery and unveiling it was their only drive. Such were Gods. The fact that Ember reached S999 in all parameters was already something beyond the thinking of Aurora.

She knew the chances of achieving it... her own familia member was abysmally low. Yet here it was! She witnessed something that perhaps only Zeus and Hera familias had ever witnessed. A perfect S999 parameter sheet, of her own child nonetheless! It filled her with glee and made her feel smug, if not for the fact she needed to keep it secret, she would have already bragged this to the entire world.

But Ember wasn't satisfied, he wanted his parameters to break through the S999! Only then he can get extremely strong. He needs to achieve that someone else can hardly ever hope to achieve. If he wants to enter the likes of Zald, Bell and Alfia, the ability to surpass the strength of his own level, permanently. 

However, he didn't know what to do, his magic was the first stat to hit S999 and it is third time he is updating his parameters after that, yet his magic parameter refuses to budge even a bit. He has given his best so far, he would kill with the thought of getting stronger, desire of breaking through his limits burned within him.

He would go solo hunting from the village, and hunt till his mind is completely drained, he did such a dangerous act with the help of Jason, after all becoming unconscious in the middle of the monster infested forest is dangerous. But he had fought till his hand became numb, even Jason was tired just following him. For two days straight he had fought!

" Ember~ How about you level up? You already have that sweet High-rank excelia stored, enough to level you and still have some left!", said Aurora as she hugged him from behind and patted his hair softly. She had been growing fond of him, ever since he showed up, and that fondness is only increasing.

" No! Goddess I still believe there exists a parameter beyond S999! If I reach that, then only I can become the strongest in this world, so until I achieve that. I want you not to level me up", Ember said breaking from her hug." But Ember! I-I think that the limit of every level is just S999, theoretically if one is to reach Level 10 or higher with S999 in every parameter, he or she will be as strong as a lower deity!", she said.

Usually, she would never speak of such thoughts, no other god will, after all Gods knew it was just a speculation and telling children will only end up things worse. You complicate their life even a bit, it becomes a mess. However seeing her child's blind dream, she couldn't help but persuade him. She didn't want him to suffer.

Ember gave her a gentle smile," Thank you Goddess for your kind words, but I will not give up!", he said and in the end she failed to persuade him. After updating his status, he quickly went to hunt monsters, Aurora didn't find him next day and realized he had left for hunting. She waited him to return, but that evening he didn't return.

" Where is he?! Just where?", Aurora muttered as she walked to and fro in a frenzy manner as she waited for him. She had already alerted the rest of her familia to look for him." Goddess", Edward came in front of her, and she looked at him with hope, however seeing Ember not alongside other members behind him, she despaired.

" Goddess we were unable to find Sir Ber, however we found his traces, I think he might have ventured far into the forest", Edward said wanting to ease her. " Far into the forest? Is he- Definitely! He is going to hunt until he is utterly exhausted", she muttered out loud, and then looked at her familia," Go and

In the end Ember returned the third day's dawn, and Aurora who was waiting for to enact her Divine punishment on him, quickly threw the idea away the moment she saw his bloodied and unconscious self. " Ember!", she cried out in panic. Jason who was carrying him on his back said," Goddess, Namien found him, who said, he became unconscious as soon as he met him."

" He is so injured! Jason hurry! Bring out the potions and bandages! We need to treat him up!", said Aurora, and soon they administered treatment to him. Thankfully he was just tired and had no grave injuries. Aurora patiently waited beside him, and the moment Ember woke up he was confused, as the Goddess reprimanded him.

" You idiot! Did you know how worried I was?!", she said as she hugged him gently, careful not to hurt him. " I- Forgive me", Ember said after a bit of silent, he had given the letter to Maria who hopefully handed to Aurora; however, he knew, vanishing for three days even if he told them, must have worried her.

Aurora wanted to complain more, but seeing his condition she let the idea go. " Fine- Just don't do something like that without a plan and without informing me in advance again", she said, and Ember nodded, when he suddenly realised," But I gave the note to Maria?", he looked at her in confusion and Aurora smiled wryly and shook her head, " My poor Ember, never trust that trash again."

That day, the cultivation of Maria was abolished by Aurora, and she turned into trash.
