The device used to register adventurers was a machine with a blue crystal orb at its center, giving it a somewhat futuristic appearance.

"Let me explain—" Luna said, stepping out from behind the counter and approaching Roy with a friendly smile.

Her ample bosom was on full display, drawing attention.

But Roy remained unfazed. After all, he had seen much more "revealing" sights back home.

Luna, noticing that he wasn't staring at her inappropriately, felt a surge of favorability towards him. Her smile became more genuine.

"Adventurers have various jobs. You can choose a job that suits your talents. This is a registration card..." Luna explained, holding up a small card. "It records your basic information, the quests you've completed, and your level. As you level up, you can learn new skills. So work hard and become stronger!"

Seeing Roy listening attentively, Luna smiled again. She couldn't help but feel a connection with this charming young man, and she found herself explaining things in more detail than usual.

Roy listened patiently with a smile.

Luna got carried away and started sharing stories about adventurers, but Roy didn't interrupt her. He listened with genuine interest.

They chatted and got to know each other.

After a while...

"I'm sorry for talking so much. Now, Roy-san, please place your hand on this crystal orb," Luna said, finally remembering her duties.

The other adventurers in the guild hall, seeing this, felt a pang of jealousy.

Their Luna had never been this friendly to a newbie before.

Was their precious flower about to be plucked?

They glared at Roy with hostility.

"....."

He suppressed his magic power and placed his hand on the crystal orb.

The orb glowed brightly, illuminating the entire guild hall with a blue light.

Even though Roy had suppressed his power, the slightest trace of his magic caused a dramatic reaction.

The adventurers were stunned and stood up to see what was happening.

The receptionists, blinded by the intense light, shielded their eyes.

Only Luna stared at the orb with her mouth agape. She had never seen anything like this before.

She knew that the brighter the light, the greater the potential of the person being tested.

She had encountered a talented adventurer before who had made the orb glow quite brightly, but compared to this, it was like a firefly compared to the sun.

Roy was like the radiant sun.

Luna was both excited and curious about his talent.

The light from the orb then formed a beam that shone on a blank adventurer card, inscribing information on it like a typewriter.

Usually, this process was quick, but this time it took a while.

Luna waited patiently, then finally snatched up the card when it was finished.

"How did it go?" Roy asked with a smile.

"Ah?! Let me see..." Luna's eyes widened as she read the first line.

"Magic aptitude: MAX. Fire magic affinity: MAX. Water magic affinity: MAX. Ice magic affinity: MAX..."

As she read the stats aloud, the guild hall fell silent, the only sound being the gulps of stunned adventurers.

"N-No way... Even a great mage wouldn't have such magic aptitude!"

"This is insane!"

"Is the machine broken?"

"Has a hero who can defeat the Demon King finally appeared in our humble town?"

....

The adventurers whispered among themselves, unable to believe what they were hearing.

Magic aptitude at MAX? That was unheard of.

But Luna wasn't finished yet.

"Strength: MAX. Agility: MAX. Swordsmanship: MAX. Spearmanship: MAX. Luck: MAX. Intelligence: MAX..." she continued.

The adventurers were speechless. Every stat she read was MAX.@@novelbin@@

Of course, this was to be expected. Roy was a Stellar-level being.

Testing him with a device meant for novice adventurers was like using a ruler to measure the size of a planet.

It was only natural for him to max out all the stats.

Luna finally finished reading all the stats and let out a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but wonder if Roy was a god in disguise.

"Roy-sama, this is your information. Based on your talents, you can choose to become an Archmage, a Magic Swordsman, a Magic Knight... Anything you want," she said, her tone unconsciously becoming respectful.

Roy smiled. "Then I'll choose to be a Magic Swordsman."

"That's an excellent choice! It's one of the highest-ranking jobs!" Luna explained with a wink.

She quickly updated his registration card.

Roy was now officially a Magic Swordsman!

....

In this world, all beings possessed a "soul" within their bodies.

Whenever a creature was killed or consumed, or its life force extinguished through other means, a portion of its soul and memories would be absorbed.

This was known as "Experience Points—EXP"

Normally, this process was invisible to the naked eye.

By absorbing experience points, adventurers would level up and become stronger.

Their adventurer cards would also gain upgrade points, which could be used to learn new skills or enhance existing ones.

This world had a comprehensive leveling system, similar to that of a video game.

Adventurers could quickly gain strength by defeating monsters and leveling up.

Roy even considered going to the world of Black Bullet to gather the Cursed Children and mass-produce adventurers here.

After all, the world of Black Bullet was also one of the worlds that had been refreshed in the system.

But he decided to put that plan on hold for now and focus on the current world.

....

Having successfully registered as an adventurer, it was time to leave the guild hall.

"Thank you, Luna-san. I'll be going now," Roy said with a smile.

Luna handed him his adventurer card, then bowed deeply along with the other smitten receptionists.

"Roy-sama, we wish you good luck on your adventures. We look forward to seeing your future achievements!"

Roy couldn't help but glance at their ample bosoms, which were barely concealed by their skimpy outfits.

Luna, noticing his gaze, smiled to herself. It seemed this young man wasn't completely immune to her charms.

"Thank you for your blessings. But I suggest you wear something a bit more... modest in the future, Luna-san," Roy said with a chuckle before turning to leave.

Luna blushed and looked down at her revealing outfit. Perhaps she should dress more conservatively. After all, no one would want to marry her if she kept dressing like this.

....

Roy left the guild hall and quickly located Kazuma and Aqua with his senses.

Aqua was throwing a tantrum, having just arrived in this world.

Roy walked towards them.

"What should I do? What am I going to do now?!" Aqua wailed, tugging on Kazuma's collar, her face a mask of despair.

People stared at her, then quickly averted their gazes.

What was with this crazy girl?

She was so embarrassing!

Even Roy, approaching them, couldn't help but cringe. Aqua wasn't very appealing in this state.

But he still walked towards them. After all, Aqua was still a goddess, and she could be "trained."

If all else failed, he could always use a spell to make her maintain a "goddess-like" expression.

"Ahem... excuse me, do you need any help?" Roy asked with a friendly smile.

"Ah, yes, please! Could you tell us where the Adventurer's Guild is?" Kazuma asked, relieved that someone had offered to help.

Aqua also looked at Roy curiously.

"Are you planning to become adventurers? Then follow me," Roy said, leading the way.

"Thank you so much!" Kazuma exclaimed gratefully.

They followed him.

Roy smirked. His plan was going smoothly.

Aqua, having just arrived in this world, was naturally wary of strangers. She only trusted Kazuma.

So, to win her over, he had to gain their trust first.

Then, he would simply get rid of Kazuma.

That was his plan.

And he wouldn't underestimate Aqua's trust in Kazuma.

In the original story, one of the people who had been reincarnated into this world with a cheat ability from Aqua was Kyouya Mitsurugi, who respected Aqua greatly.

When he first met Aqua, he had tried to recruit her, but she refused.

She preferred to suffer with Kazuma, a low-level adventurer, rather than join Kyouya, who possessed a powerful magic sword.

This showed how important trust was.

....

"By the way, I'm Kazuma Satou. May I know your name?" Kazuma asked, trying to gather information about Roy.

"I'm Roy Lucifuge. And what about her?" Roy introduced himself, then looked at Aqua.

"I'm Goddess Aqua!" Aqua declared proudly, puffing out her chest.

"Goddess?" Roy raised an eyebrow.

"Um, she's a bit... eccentric. Don't mind her," Kazuma explained awkwardly.

Roy chuckled.

Kazuma then asked about the town, and Roy patiently answered his questions.

He knew quite a bit about this town.
