The wood was still horribly rough and definitely not anything like the image I had in my head but it still proved that my idea was feasible.
"Are you alright?" Hestia asked far more ed about me since I was sloug from exhaustion as most of my energy had just been ed.
"I'm fine. Just a bit drained is all, but look it worked!" I said showihe wood.
She studied it carefully "Well it isn't rotten anymore and the shape is a little different but it's kinda rough isn't it?" she asked fused.
"That's actually my fault. I didn't realize just how fast using the spell would drain my energy and only had enough to ge it to this point." I said holy.
"I see. This looks like a really useful magid it's pretty too, gratutions!" Hestia said with a bright smile.
"Thanks. I bet if I focus on repairing the church bit by bit I train my magic stat really quick!" I said with an eager grin.
"You aren't going into the dungeon?" Hestia asked surprised and I shook my head.
"Not yet, I o raise my stats first through good old physical training or I am like as not just going tle pointlessly. Unlike most newbie adventurers I have actually seen a goblin before and I know for a fact fighting just one of them would be a struggle for me at the moment not to mention acc to the girls iemis familia the things rarely are alone." I said seriously.
"Umu, better safe than sorry." she said agreeing that my pn made sense.
After that we went to sleep with her in the bed and me on the couch that was not the most fortable but not horrible either. Unfortunately I learned a rather bothersome fact about my goddess when I woke up in the m, she was gy. Sometime in the middle of the night she had gone from the bed to on the couch using me as a body pillow. Let me tell you there is nothing more awkward than waking up with m wood only to find that a small but beautiful woman was rubbing on it unsciously si oking her in her sleep.-
Even worse was when she woke up and realized what she was doing shortly after you did, the silence was deafening. We ate a couple pieces of cheap bread with tomato red faces for about thirty minutes before she went off to her day job selling jagamarukun which were basically potato croquettes or deep fried breaded mashed potatoes with salt or sometimes meat. I oher hand found an exposed board in the upstairs chapel room and poured most of my energy into it to try aore it to perfect dition.-
That sted for all of about a sed before I was out of energy because as it turned out size DOES matter when it came to how muergy something took to ge with my cursed teique. While I was waiting for my energy to refill I got to work w out with my neon. Since I was going to be carrying the thing around stantly in the Dungeon it only made sehat I also worked out with it so that I could get aced to handling it. For example I went jogging and carried it with me despite my body not liking the mispced weight at all.-
My legs were used to carrying some extra weight from the gut I used to have but my arms were screaming in pain as I jogged. I had to switch hands a few times before my legs were als from exertion and I was out of breath. After that was ches to work on my core strength and then practice swings with my on to work on my form. Let me tell you swinging a twenty pound object with one arm without losing bance was not easy at all with average human strength. I stumbled and fell several times but I was stubborn like that and opped until my arms were both feeling like jello.-
Ign my own pain I dragged my weary body into the churd after depositing the on bellow went back to the wooden board I had worked on previously to burn through my refilled energy pool again. Ohat was done I sat on the floor o it to wait for my goddess to return while using any energy I refilled during that time to slowly, bit by bit, restore the wood to perfect ditioia returned about an hour or so before the su down with a bag of leftover food from her stall that hadn't been sold.-
"Are you going to be okay?" She asked worriedly when I groaned and shook while standing up.
"Yeah I'll be fine, just feeling the pain that es with w out is all." I said reassuringly despite knowing I probably over did it.
No I DEFINITELY overdid it as after eating I went to sleep and woke up feeling like I went five rounds with Tyson. I spent the hree days rec while using my cursed teique every ce I got. Waking up every m with my goddess using me as a body pillow had also sort of bee a habit we didn't talk about ever.-
She wasn't flirting or anything like that which was the only reason I khat she wasn't doing it iionally and chose to just go with the flow and ig as a result. My workout session on the fourth day was much more rexed than my first and I stopped the moment my muscles started to really ache. I was making goress on repairing the church though as I had fully restored exactly two wooden boards for all my effort. At the end of the week Hestia updated my falna and I got to see if it was worth it.-
Name: Alexander Drake
Race: Human
Level:1
Strength:10(I) ->47(I)
Endurance:10(I)->83(I)
Agility:10(I)->39(I)
Dexterity:10(I)->24(I)

Holy speaking I wasn't surprised at all to find that my fasted growing stats were magid endurance sidering what they represented. Each stat in the falna had specific purposes and thus got increased by perf as reted to them and endurance was your stamina and literal toughness stat. By over w my muscles I had seriously pushed the stat forward since I had overwhelmed my bodies natural durability. As fic that was basically increased by simply using as much mana or in this case cursed energy as possible and w the power to it's fullest at level one. Increasing the magic stat also had the wonderful bonus of also increasing ones effid volume of energy.
