E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 10 - Blessing
'Sruug! Nababab!'
Dimas still hoeing the same as usual. Nothing is different from the days before. Old man Zack was next to him.
But somehow, his premonition felt that something bad was going to happen.
And it really happened.
His previous views were of land and wheat fields, now drastically turned into a room filled with darkness. But the darkness did not last long.
Quickly, the light from the many stars illuminated this place. And at the end of that place....
'Tap 'em! Aap!'
The figure of a woman who was so graceful walked slowly closer to Dimas. The woman had beautiful golden hair, with a white dress that was no less charming.
Without hesitation, Dimas spoke up immediately.
"What do you think, it turns out the goddamn Goddess named Cyrese huh? Did I die for something? Or did you uproot my life because I wasn't getting ready to fight the demon lord?"
Not anger, but a gentle smile was the reply of Cyrese.
"I know being divine to you is useless. Then I'll tell you directly." Said Cyrese who was right in front of the man.
Although his face looks calm, but Dimas' heart is beating quite fast. His mind prepared itself to do whatever was necessary, avenging what the Goddess would do to him.
Due to his previous experience, Dimas's trust in the Goddesses had decreased drastically. But at the moment, all that will soon change.
Cyrese raised his 2 fingers to Dimas while saying.
"Two hundred. That's the point I'm going to give you right now. If you work better, maybe I'll give you more of that." Said Cyrese with a wide smile.
Instantly, Dimas' eyes opened wide after hearing that.
"Wait first?! The point? Wh why? Isn't the poor Goddess like you already out of points?!" Shouted Dimas confusion.
Despite having a fairly high patience, even Cyrese immediately felt very upset by what Dimas said.
His anger peaked in an instant.
"Poor goddess you said?! I don't want to hear the word poor spoken by a poor man whose life is filled with debts like yours!"
"Oh that?! Then what about yourself?! Relying on this poor man?! That already proves that you are much poorer than me!" Reply Dimas upset while pointing at Cyrese's face.
"What did you say?! I'm just saving you from all your debt! You should be thanking me!" Reply to Cyrese who also pointed at Dimas' face.
"Huh?! If I want to thank you then I will thank the robber who killed me!"
The debate between the two of them continued for several minutes. Neither side would budge, nor acknowledge the truth of what their interlocutors are saying.
Cyrese ended the debate as quickly as possible. Not because he wants to lose. But....
"Wine! How many minutes now?! The cost of summoning a hero soul here is quite expensive! Hurry up and get the job done and get back to work!" Cyrese shouted frantically while taking out a lot of paper from the air.
The papers were inscribed with the names of various skills and abilities that had prices below 200 points.
After all the papers had been collected, He immediately gave them to Dimas.
Dimas who previously felt very upset and angry, this time looked quite surprised. He did not expect that the Goddess he thought of as mere nonsense would actually do so.
It gave him a blessing.
"Choose as you please from all that. The maximum you can use is 200 points. Nothing more. And your time to choose is only 3 minutes away." Said Cyrese while crossing both arms.
Dimas who saw that only put on an incredulous face. But he was also not interested in wasting this opportunity.
No matter how small it doesn't matter. It is undeniable that He will need the ability of this Goddess to survive.
In contrast to Reina, Dimas read through the entire skill and ability paper quickly. Then in his head, he made a simple ranking list. Sorting between useful and useless abilities for the long term.
Dimas is indeed a poor person and lives surrounded by misfortune during this time. But that doesn't change the fact that he was once the son of one of the most successful entrepreneurs.
The education he obtained was very high, making the insight of the man so broad. Not only that, he also inherited the intelligent nature of his father, and the nature of calculation from his mother.
More than that, Dimas himself was aware of his abilities. Unlike others who consider what he has as 'substantiated talent'
'I've honed my life all this time for it. Therefore....' Thought Inside his heart while pulling out a paper.
...-C Rank Skill -...
...- Keen Eyes -...
...The ability to sharpen the eyesight of the owner. The effect can be enhanced by the use of magic energy....
...Price: 180 points...
He chose that ability because it would greatly help him in various ways. Be it doing spying, assessing an item, to various other problems.
Not only that, the price was very low for the size of a skill that had great use. Dimas himself was astonished by it.
But don't want to bother, he immediately took it.
The remaining 20 points....
...- F Rank -...
...- Attribute Boost -...
...Vitality : + 2...
...Increases basic attributes on Vitality by 2 points. Improving the survival ability of both the environment and attacks in very small amounts....
The reason behind the selection was not just to spend all his points. But Dimas himself had realized it.
Although he was well educated about science, his physical abilities were not very good.
The only reason He can survive in the modern world is because He always uses his head. Even during the fight.
And after seeing Reina being able to defeat 8 out of 10 Goblins alone, even as a woman, Dimas was increasingly aware of that.
Including himself who was only worth as much as one bag of gold. Nothing else and not, certainly because his physical abilities are too low.
In a few moments, winter is coming. He doesn't even know if he can survive or not.
Hence....
"I chose these two." Dimas said after about 90 seconds of sorting out all the paper before him.
Cyrese smiled at that. He felt that there was something more than that 200-point man.
"In that case, I will soon bless you with this power you chose." Said Cyrese while pointing his hands at Dimas.
Instantly, a greenish and white light began to enter the Man's body. The new power he had chosen was directly within him.
Immediately, his vision became sharper despite having just gained that ability.
And for some reason, his body felt a little more fit. Dimas also involuntarily made a smile while looking at both of his palms.
A blue-colored magic circle began to appear where Dimas was standing. Prepare to send it back to that world.
Unlike the first one, Dimas now looks calmer.
Shortly before Dimas was thrown back into that world, Cyrese gave a very important message.
"If you keep working well, then I'll give you more points." Say Cyrese with a smile.
"As long as you know, I still won't fight that dangerous Demon King. But.... I'll work harder from now on." Reply Dimas with a much friendlier face than usual.
"No problem to me. As long as you and the other humans are alive.... I'm quite happy with your work. Whatever it is."
Along with that sentence, Dimas now returned to his hoeing body.
"Oi! The boy! Are you dead?!" Shouted Zack who turned out to be continuously slapping the face of Dimas who had now been splashed on the ground.
"Fucking old man! Get away from me!"
