Chapter 8 – Jake is a Good Guy

  Another invention that was revolutionary for someone as unskilled at cooking as me: the rice cooker. You chuck in some rice and some water, press a button, and presto magicko! Rice!

  The egg fried rice he made is pretty good. Better than what I could do. Perfect husband material, to be honest. Shame I don't like him like that.

  He'd cleaned the apartment while I was unconscious, and my hoodie and leggings are washed and neatly folded on my dresser. Getting someone out of bloody clothes and into clean ones is something he’s used to. At least I know he's professional about it and wouldn't oggle.

  But still, I'm standing around in my apartment in a camisole and my knickers. My face still decides to turn red at the thought. Bad brain, I tell myself. Bad Hana, my brain tells me back.

  “I'm getting dressed,” I yell to Jake in the kitchen. I don't need a repeat of 10 minutes ago.

  From my dresser, I grab some bck shorts, a bra, and a merch t-shirt of my favourite singer, before locking myself in the bathroom for extra security. On the sink are a couple new packs of the tampons I used part of in the dungeon. What a d.

  While getting changed, I finally decide to check out the hovering panel.

  [You have unread notifications]

  [Do you wish to read? (Y/N)]

  I reach out and tap on “Yes”, and get hit by a barrage of notifications.

  [

  [You gain 1,000 XP]

  [You have leveled up]

  [You have leveled up]

  [You have leveled up]

  [XP: 245/1,000]

  [You have 9 attribute points to allocate]

  Not really caring about stats because that would be my first and st dungeon, I dump the points into my STR, bringing it up to 15.

  The notifications keep coming.

  [You have gained the skill ]

  [ has leveled up!]

  [You have gained additional rewards]

  [Rank D -> Rank C]

  [

  My jaw drops. Soloing a boss has that much of an impact on your rank? I didn't really do much. I'd just lucked out.

  Still, that hammer looks really interesting. Was that the big anvil tree the Lizard King was using? Curiosity gets the better of me and I open my inventory.

  [Lizard King’s Great Hammer]

  [Requirement: 20 STR]

  [Rarity: Rare]

  [Deal 2 * STR (15) damage on hit]

  [(Active) Pound the Great Hammer into the ground to create earth spikes in a 3m radius around you, dealing STR (15) damage. Cooldown: 60s]

  Woah, that's pretty neat. Still unusable for me though, unless the two-handed strength boost counted towards the requirements.

  The skills are great too!

  [(Passive) Fury of the Small]

  [Landing the killing blow on a target restores HP equal to twice the size ratio between

  and target (min: 2)]

  [(Passive) Blood Frenzy]

  [Gain a percent bonus to STR equal to

  ’s percent missing HP]

  Hmmm. At half of my HP that would boost my STR all the way to 22.5, possibly 23 if the system rounded up. Actually, the system is quite mean. It would likely be a STR of 22. But still, that would leave me with only 10 HP. Maybe I should invest in VIT?

  Before I could tell myself not to have stupid ideas, there's a small knock on the bathroom door.

  “Hana? Food's ready!”

  Who cares about dungeons? Nothing beats egg fried rice!
