I y back in the bathtub, the hot water soaking soothingly into my joints and drowning my worries of the outside world. The only thing I need to focus on is floating in the warm bliss.

  The bath in Jake's apartment is quite massive. With my head on one end, I can stretch out my legs and not even touch the other side. And hey! This has nothing to do with me being 1.5m! My shortness has nothing to do with not touching the other side. It's rge enough that I doubt even Jake could.

  Also, more importantly… Jake has a bubble bath mixture! I'm literally in foamy heaven! No people. No monsters. Only bubbles!

  I stretched out my arms above my head, wincing at the soreness in my joints and muscles. Zipping around at super human velocities and being cleaved in half aren't good for a girl's constitution.

  [HP: 9/20]

  [Status: Rested]

  [Passively regenerate 10% of HP and MP per minute]

  I'd cut it very close back there, almost dying if it weren't for Kati coming in with a split-second rescue. Even with her help, I was stuck on only a single hit point for what seemed like forever. If that obnoxious man had taken the bait and hit me earlier, I very well might have kicked the bucket.

  Even with the passive health and the angelic potion, my body still has a rge jagged scar all across my midsection. It lies there, nasty and deep red. The area around the scar is heavily bruised, all swollen and sensitive to the touch. It's a complete contrast to how my stab wound from the lizardfolk healed. That scar is only a pinkish colour against my pale skin.

  Jake can't see this. He’d freak out way too much and ask too many awkward questions.

  I sink deeper into the tub, my mouth submerging below the waterline. It's in the perfect position to blow bubbles.

  The phone on the sink next to me buzzes. I reach over and grab it.

  ichbindiekati: Hall?chennnnnnn

  This is Kati

  From the dungeon

  Just wanted to check in after your outburst earlier

  u okay?

  Thx for standing up for Andrew btw

  Oh, right. I gave her my number, didn't I? With the deluge of texts coming in, I may come to regret that.

  After 4 attempts to unlock my phone–the fingerprint recognition doesn't like wet hands, surprise surprise!–I shoot off a quick reply to her.

  hanablossom: All goods :)

  I decide to follow this up with something on my mind.

  hanablossom: Hey, is it normal for a scar to be all red and nasty and swollen and bruised and just eww?

  Asking for a friend

  Her reply was basically instant.

  ichbindiekati: Hmmm

  There's usually some variation based on how bad the injury is and the tier of potion used.

  Do you need me to come over and check you out?

  I mean…

  Check your friend out :p

  hanablossom: Nah, my friend is fine

  I put my phone down and fall back into the tub. Okay, she's being a bit annoying, even if it technically comes from a nice pce. The phone buzzes a few more times, but I just ignore it.

  With nothing better to do now, I decide to check out my stats. I did get a new skill and some additional rewards from the dungeon.

  [You have gained the skill ]

  [(Passive) Battle-Hardened]

  [You reduce environmental damage taken by an amount equal to your STR (25)]

  Well, if that works how I thinks it does, then projectile-unching myself into a wall shouldn't hurt anymore.

  And…

  Completely theoretically…

  I could pull off a superhero nding without breaking my bones from the impact.

  Hypothetically, of course.

  I shouldn't get excited by that. Didn't I tell myself no more dungeons? I swear, I'll spend the next week just holed up in my room, doing my programming work and gaming. If I were a guy, I could even piss in a bottle and wouldn't have to leave.

  But just out of curiosity, I check out my rewards.

  [Dragon Fang Greatsword]

  [Requirement: 10 STR, 10 ARC]

  [Rarity: Very Rare]

  [Deals 20 + STR (25) damage on hit]

  [(Active) The sword bzes with fire for 1 minute, dealing an additional 5 + ARC (0) fire damage on hit. Cooldown: 1 hour]

  Well, there it is. Finally an item that doesn't scale directly off my Strength attribute. I would need to grind four more levels and allocate almost all the points into the Arcane attribute just to try using it. My Lizard King's Great Hammer is better for me anyway.

  It might sell for a decent amount. Or maybe only of the additional rewards gives me an Arcane boosting item…?

  From the looks of it, I got another gift box, but not a greater variant like st time–maybe because I didn't fully clear everything myself?

  [Gift Box]

  [Rarity: ???]

  [Contains additional rewards from soloing at least 75% of and sying ]

  I select the option to open the gift box.

  [Opening ]

  [Contents are being tailored to ]

  [ has obtained ]

  [Cloak of the Rabbit]

  [Requirement: None]

  [Rarity: Rare]

  [+10 speed]

  [+15 fashion]

  [(Passive) repairs itself within 24 hours if at least 25% of it remains intact]

  Oh gosh!

  This fixes the problem of my clothes being shredded to bits!

  I materialise the cloak and hold it in front of me. It strongly resembles my hoodie, being dark with a hood of its own. The hood, by the way, has adorable bunny ears too!

  Omg this is too cute!!!
