Novel Bin Chapter 62 Preparations!!
While Shin was inside Alice\'s room. He noticed Alice was acting a little weird. She seemed kind of stressed.
Curious about the reason behind her unusual behavior. Shin used appraisal on her and the result was unexpected.
<strong>[Alice Kayden(Normal)]</strong>
<strong>[Level - 16]</strong>
<strong>[Title - Bipolar Queen]</strong>
<strong>[Age - 16]</strong>
<strong>[Special ability - SSS(Soul Tamer)[Advanced 1]]</strong>
<strong>[Health Status - Healthy]</strong>
<strong>[Trait - ???]</strong>
Because of the mood at that time Shin didn\'t react to this. But after coming to his room. All his calmness disappeared as a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Holy shit? SSS rank? Soul Tamer? No wonder she is so awesome." Shin said in excitement.
"Isn\'t SSS rank the highest level known? Just below that unknown rank." Shin said as he thought of the abilities ranking system.
"And What does it mean by Bipolar queen? Why doesn\'t it have any explanation for it? Guess I can only ask her about this.
\'Also Normal? What does it mean by Normal?\' Suddenly his eyes widened in realization. \'Don\'t tell me. It\'s talking about Alice\'s transformation mode. As I appraised her when she wasn\'t transformed it\'s showing normal.\'
\'Hmm, that\'s the only possible explanation.\' Shin concluded.
"Now that I think about it. What is the rank of my Plunder?" Shim put his hand up his chin as he started pondering.
"To be honest Plunder doesn\'t seem like it comes under any category. I can get skills, abilities, items, stats, and much more from my enemies. How could it come under any rank category?"
As Shin thought that a familiar sound sounded and a message appeared in front of him.
<strong>[Plunder ability is now determined as \'Z\' rank.]</strong>
"Eh? Z? What do you mean Z? Is there even a rank like that?"
p
<strong>[H --> G --> F --> E --> D --> C --> B --> A --> S --> SS --> SSS]</strong>
"Where is Z? Even that question mark is now missing. Ahh, whatever. I know Plunder\'s potential is unlimited and that\'s what matters."
Shin dismissed these thoughts as his eyes focused on another thing.
"Why can\'t I see Alice\'s traits? Her other information is available but I don\'t think her traits are more secretive or important than her other information. Right?" Shin was curious but he can\'t do anything about it. He can\'t also just outright go and ask Alice about her traits. Even she will be confused.
\'But anyway I never thought Alice would react like that. It seems she was disturbed by such thoughts. Such a sweet girl. There\'s no way I am gonna abandon you.\' Without him knowing Alice was becoming someone important in his life.
"But her reaction. It felt like she was expecting something from me. That scene was like some of those romance movies." Shin uttered as he thought of Alice\'s embarrassed face and closed his eyes.
"Nah. No way that\'s possible. We still don\'t know much about each other. How could she fall for me this fast? Never did a girl fall for me before even if I tried to. So how could such a beautiful girl start liking me suddenly."
"Maybe I am expecting too much after my physical changes."
He sat on the ground folding his legs.
\'It\'s not the time to think about those things anyway. First I need to get stronger. Now that Alice is asleep I have to wait for her to wake up before discussing the dungeon.\'
Shin started circulating his Mana like before. This time however there was a surprise for him. The Mana energy inside his body was a lot richer and purer than before.
\'This is. This is amazing. I am sure with this my attack power will increase significantly.\'
He continued circulating his pure mana for a few hours. This feeling was amazing.
[Your Mana stat increased by 0.5]
Shin was flabbergasted.
\'You can increase your Mana this way. Don\'t tell me other stats can also be increased with specific methods.\'
But suddenly his excitement died down.
\'So what? It takes a lot of time anyway. After doing this for more than 4 hours it increased by 0.5. It is better if I focus on killing monsters. I can get bonus stats. I can use this method in my free time. Maybe I can try this while sleeping.\'
*Grr* ( Stomach growling sounds.)
\'Oops, I missed my lunch. I am gonna get an earful from Mom.\'
Shin started making his way downstairs. He saw it in the living room. Alice and Reina were having some conversation and Alice\'s face was completely red.
Seeing Shin coming downstairs. Alice blushed even more.
A little while before. Once Alice woke up. Reina started bombarding her with questions.
Alice wasn\'t able to keep up with Reina\'s sudden surge of questions. Reina asked her straight forward. But Alice was embarrassed to say anything and Reina enjoyed seeing her reaction. So she teased her more.
"Oh, you are here. It seems both of you are so tired that you even missed the lunch." Reina glared at Shin for missing the lunch and even making Alice miss it. If only she knew her son was innocent.
"Wait for a minute. I\'ll make something quick." Reina said without waiting for Shin\'s answer and left toward the kitchen.
Now, Alice and Shin, we\'re sitting in front of each other. Alice wasn\'t able to meet his gaze. After all, she showed such an embarrassing side of her to Shin and even slept in his arms. She slept before they could even do anything.
\'No worries. I\'ll get more chances later on.\'
Suddenly she heard Shin\'s voice baffling her.
"Alice, do you want to go out with me tomorrow?" Shin asked in all seriousness.
"Eh?" Her mind went blank at his question.
"There\'s a dungeon I want to check out. I believe it\'s the best place for us to level up. It\'s not too far from here. In the northwest direction away from the Canopy bridge and near the New Forest." Shin explained his words and the location of the dungeon.
"Of course, I would love to." Alice didn\'t even hesitate to think about it.
\'It\'s a date. Surely a date.\'
\'And this time we are alone.\'
\'So what if the location of our date is a dungeon.\'
\'Just the two of us alone near a forest close to nature. Inside the dungeon.\'
\'Fufufu~ Maybe we could do something more than just fun.\'
\'Okay calm down Alice. The date is tomorrow. I need to prepare a lot. What dress should I wear?\'
\'Oh no, we will be fighting monsters. I can\'t wear something too fashionable.\'
....
While Shin was unconscious for 3 days. Leaving Shin in Alfred\'s care Alice and Reina went to check out her old home. Which was now somewhat wrecked. Alice saw that the neighborhood where she used to live was empty. There were already shifted to the relief zones or the military camps.
\'I hope the government pays for these damages.\' Alice thought and went inside her house.
She took wherever possessions she had left inside and came out.
....
\'Now what should I wear?\' Alice folded her arms, her brows knit together as she closed her eyes thinking very deeply.
At first, Shin was surprised by her abrupt answer. But seeing Alice thinking something deeply. Shin wondered if she was thinking about the dungeon they will go to tomorrow.
\'It\'s good that she is not reckless and thinking this through.\'
"The dungeon we go to tomorrow is level 1 dungeon."
Shin started explaining to Alice about the dungeon ranking systems and whatever information he had.
"Many people had already entered this dungeon. So there\'s more information available about this dungeon." Shin explained everything to Alice patiently. So that she can prepare herself mentally. Shin also wanted her to trust him more. That\'s the only way they can improve their relationship more.
Alice nodded her head in understanding. She had finally decided what to wear for tomorrow. As for the ranking of dungeons and other irrelevant matters she has full trust in Shin\'s judgment. She had already decided to devote her life to Shin. So she doesn\'t worry about things going south.
"Are you prepared, Alice? If you think a dungeon is too much we can level up more before going there. If you want we can join other people."
"No. There\'s no need for other people." Alice cut him off.
\'There\'s no way I am going to let other people disturb our sweet time.
Shin nodded his head in agreement. Shin knew Alice is super strong with SSS rank ability and level 16 but he asked regardless.
"As for preparations." Alice stopped and smiled as she said \'status board\' inside her mind.
Her eyes fell on her status board.
