Ryan was amazed by the sheer number of attribute points he had managed to obtain in just a few moments.
It was practically like receiving a premium welcome bonus in a game for taking part in its pre-launch.
Perhaps this was only due to the bug he had been hired to fix, but compared to the heroines' statistics.
He was still lagging far behind.
But at least something calmed him down, if only a little.
'At least I'm certain I won't die from a single hit. Well, as long as one of them doesn't strike me with their full power.'
Since Ryan already had higher stamina and psyche than his other attributes, this time, with a cool head, he decided to distribute the points into STR and Luck.
In total, he acquired 430 skill points; 210 points were automatically applied to every stat.
And with the remaining 220 additional points he received, he put 200 into STR and 20 into Luck.
He reached a total of 610 STR points and 30 in Luck.
Although he was curious about how luck would affect things, considering it was quite high compared to the heroines.
"Ryan, what are you thinking about that has you so focused on that wall?" Mirian asked. She had come out of the bathroom; she had a towel around her neck and comfortable clothes on her body.
A pair of short shorts and a long t-shirt, with damp patches on her skin from being freshly washed.
"It's nothing. But how much longer are we going to stay here?"
"Here in the dungeon? Well... until we get a weapon for you. That was what we agreed on, wasn't it?"
'A weapon? That sounds good...'
Mirian approached and sat down across from Ryan.
She extended her hand. And a bow appeared with a glowing aura covering it.
"Helen and I have epic weapons. It's not fair that, being on the same team, you don't have a rare or epic one yet. Especially since your staff broke, heh, heh, heh."
'So my staff broke? But I don't remember having a staff when I tested the game...'
Ryan reflected for a moment.
'Could it be that... this world doesn't follow the game rules a hundred percent? No, it doesn't matter, it's not like I know the game that well anyway...'
"Are there other people who come to this floor? We're on the hundredth floor, right?"
"Of course not," Helen replied, having just finished in the bathroom and walking over to where they were. She sat on the edge of the furniture where Mirian was.
Helen crossed her legs and added.
"We ended up in this dungeon by mistake, after all."
"Yep. If it weren't for the fact that we fell off that dragon, who would imagine there would be a dungeon in the sky?"
"That surprised me a lot; even in the books, nothing like that was ever mentioned."
'A dungeon in the sky? A dragon... well, I'm trapped in a game. Those things shouldn't surprise me.'
"But then... how far are we from a city? Wait, and how long have we been here? Is anyone keeping track?"
"I've already forgotten," Helen grumbled.
"If I'm not mistaken, we've been here for 26 days... although it only took us 18 days to reach this floor. After killing the boss, we were left with the shelter, but unfortunately, we didn't find any more epic weapons. Though the monsters here are S-rank and give us a lot of experience."
"They used to give us, you mean. Now that we're S-rank, it's not so much anymore..." Helen stated.
"Yeah, you're right."
"You guys are S-rank... but I'm not," Ryan complained in a low voice.
"That is normal. A support's job doesn't require anything more than mana. And you're a B-rank support, probably the only one in the capital."
Helen paused.
"Nowadays, it's very hard to find B or A-rank supports."
"Tsk, that's why we didn't look for another one... and we have to put up with you being such a pervert..." Helen said under her breath.
"But you know I don't do it on purpose..."
"Now, now, calm down. Even if there were another B-rank support, we would never leave you, right, Helen?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Ha, ha, you should be more honest."
"..."
"Girls."
Both looked at Ryan attentively.
"What do you think about clearing the dungeon again?"
"What! Of course not."
"Calm down, Helen. But Ryan, why are you suggesting that to us?"
"It's just that... maybe I'll find a weapon if we start from zero."
'It would be logical to think that if I don't have a weapon, it's because I didn't kill any monsters. Starting from the first floor, with my increased stats, I could get something, and even if I don't, I could gain more experience and level up.'
"I understand... although we've been here for several days and nothing is happening, maybe we should leave. But this dungeon doesn't have a portal. Going to the first floor is actually... completing the dungeon in reverse, heh, heh, heh."
"Ha, that's so annoying," Helen complained.
"But it's not like we're going to stay and live here forever, don't you think?"
"..."
"You're right, besides, I don't want to keep eating the same thing..."
"...Well, even though Mirian cooks well, eating animals that grow naturally in the dungeon is disgusting."
Everyone fell silent.
After processing it for a while, Ryan broke the silence.
"Then, let's go. We've already spent too many days in the dungeon."
They nodded. After a moment, they had put on their armor and everyone left the shelter.
The monsters in the area they had cleared still hadn't appeared. According to what Helen and Mirian said, each one appeared an hour after dying, so they went directly to floor 99.
"Tsk... Undead. I hate fighting against those things," Helen grumbled.
"Ryan," Mirian spoke.
'I already know what they want. I'm not that stupid.'
"Physical Enhancement."
"Magic Enhancement."
Their bodies lit up as they received the support enchantments and they dropped into a stance to fight.
"You'd better have a decent order for me this time."
"...Yeah, don't worry."
'Actually, I had already forgotten about that.'
