…

Most of his Stats had almost doubled, although things such as Mana didn't double due to his stat already being quite ridiculous due to his high Mana Core Rank and the way he trained mana by constantly conjuring Skills and Spells.

He felt quite proud of his new strength, although he acquired it all through items, these items were rewarded to him not by lazing around, but by doing many amazing feats that also made him risk his life greatly, many of such equipment was gotten from the prizes of quests such as fighting the Gods and so on.

But… was this enough for him to feel confident about being able of fending off the Watchers?

Or even the many Abyssal Horrors that are soon to crawl out of the underground of the world… As more time goes by and as it gets closer to the rebirth of the Demon King, more and more Abyssal Horrors would begin to crawl out to the surface, and they would be stronger, possessing more abilities and powers, according to what Frank had learned from Axitl's observations.

Frank wanted to practice his new stats capabilities and also the use of Gram, for now, so he was planning on stretching out a bit by going to destroy the Shadow Snakes once and for all.

However, he first decided to go gift the things to Gwendolyn and the rest, rather happy and expecting to see his family's happy faces.

He quickly ran downstairs as he was greeted with a delicious breakfast and the family which had already begun to eat.

"Ah, you're finally here! What were you doing?" asked Gwendolyn while eating a sandwich.

"Oh, sorry for getting late, I was opening items and equipping new things… Doesn't my aura feels a bit different?" asked Frank.

"Oh, now that you mention it… Indeed," said Vheslia, rubbing her chin as she noticed Frank's powerful aura.

"Wait… it's as if you became double as strong as before! That's cheating, what kind of equipment did you get?!" asked Cathyl in surprise.

"Mom Frank deserves that and more! He is the one that works the hardest here… And the system is his own power…" said Hilvera.

"Ah, yeah, yeah, I know. I am just joking! Come on," sighed Cathyl.

"No, no, it's fine. I also do admit I got way too much. Way more than I expected… And I also believe that your work should be rewarded too. So I gathered these weapons I got, I don't think I can wield so many at the same time, and I already got one for myself. So here," said Frank, quickly opening his Inventory and gifting everyone A-Rank Weapons!

"Eh?" asked Cathyl.

"R-Really?!" asked Annabelle.

"F-Frank… this… I don't think we deserve this," said Vheslia.

"I don't care if I deserve it or not, I am taking it!" said Hilvera.

"M-Me too! Aniki, I will make sure to use it well and help you as much as I can!" said Asterion.

"Good, that's the spirit," said Frank with a gentle smile.

"Brother… This is for me?" asked Kamei, glancing at the glorious golden-colored staff.

"Indeed, Kamei. I am sure that it will help you with your specialization," said Frank.

As Frank distributed the prizes, he finally came near Gwendolyn who was rather expectant, although she didn't want to say anything to not sound greedy.

She knew that in the past she had acted quite greedily and interested in money, but now that she was with Frank and all… she began to think that what she did back then wasn't the best.

Especially by how much she loved him now… the last two months seemed like way more time because she spent most of the time inside of Frank's Divine Realm, and the time ratio there was a bit faster than the outside world, so she felt like she spent way more than two months with him.

And even then, she had spent some more time before, and every day the two were forging their bond, even more, both at day and… at night.

She saw Frank walk towards her with his sweet and gentle smile, the one that always captivated her…

"Gwendolyn, here. This blade is named Vulcanus Blade of Searing Flames, I know the name is flashy, but it is quite strong. This sword is a special protective Skill that protects you from damage by creating an automatic fire barrier around you. I know that you're also getting better at swords, and this blade is very light despite its size," said Frank, as Gwendolyn grasped the blade with the handle. The blade quickly began to embrace her soul and connect it to her, as she felt a rush of power.

Her entire Aura began to glow as if they were powerful searing flames that could consume everything. Her aura quickly began to materialize itself into a spherical barrier of flames around her, although these flames didn't seem to affect the environment nor put everything on fire.

"A-Amazing… Frank… Thank you so much… I will treasure this…" said Gwendolyn, as she was about to kiss Frank but was stopped before that.

"W-Wait, there is something else. I want to give you as much defense as possible if you really want to stay at my side while I fight, so here, I want to gift you this as well. Make sure to take good care of it, alright?" said Frank rather sweetly, as he gave Gwendolyn Tiamat's Scales Bracelet.

Gwendolyn noticed the powerful presence coming from the bracelet as her eyebrows raised in surprise.

"O-Oh wow… Frank, okay, are you sure? This is…" she said.

"Of course I am, please take it… Don't take me lightly or something! You will regret it if you don't take it," said Frank while shrugging.

"Eh? What with that attitude? Okay! I will take it! Geez, you really like to give me amazing things, aren't you? …It makes me very happy," said Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn quickly equipped the bracelet as she felt the powerful protection of Tiamat, alongside the transparent protective layer of scales covering all of her body, it was as if she had now a weightless chainmail cover every inch of her skin with the endurance of orichalcum.

After all these scales originated from the Goddess of Dragons Tiamat, it was a Divine Material of the highest grades.

"Damn! Now I really feel like I can keep up with you for a bit… but it was all due to your gifts. …Well, I should really be happy over it instead of worrying that I am forcing you to share things that might serve you better…" said Gwendolyn.

"Indeed, instead of just thinking that I could be better with these items, make sure to use them well and as intended. I don't really ask for anything else," said Frank.

"Aw, you're such a sweet little bun~," said Gwendolyn, hugging Frank and kissing his cheeks, and then passionately kissing his lips.

"Little bun…?" asked Vheslia.

"Eeeh… It must be nice to have a husband, huh…" said Cathyl.

Annabelle, Kamei, Hilvera, and Asterion noticed the two women's glares, they seemed a tad bit frustrated, but they were still happily smiling at the two, they still felt happy for them to be together.

"(Was my brother always this good with women? Vheslia and Cathyl seem to like him…)" thought Kamei, although she decided to keep herself silent for the time. She began to consider what was on Frank's mind, but it was up to him to decide what to do regarding this. Although it seemed that he was very happy with just Gwendolyn, his fox wife, and has not been eyeing any woman since the two started their relationship.
