Nero, The Legendary Hunter

This morning Choko woke up earlier than Nero. For a while she was watching Nero's face while she was sleeping. It was so cute that she watched for minutes and thought that only a few seconds had passed. 'I'll get breakfast…' Reluctantly, she got out of bed, but not before kissing Nero's cheek.

Minutes later she returned. Nero had already woken up and washed her face and brushed her teeth.

"Bread and eggs again?" Nero asked.

"Well, we can go out and eat something better," Choko said.

"Mm, no, bread and eggs are good. Let's go with that. By the way, thanks for picking up breakfast for us. " Nero walked over and kissed her cheek.

"Hehe~ You're the one who always does that. I just managed to wake up earlier today." Choko giggled as she put things on the table.

Pulling out a chair, the two sat down and ate breakfast.

"Let's do 15 more dungeons, *degozaru*!" Outside the Hunter's Headquarters, they finished buying a lot of potions and were heading towards the dungeon.

"With the number of options available to us, we can make up to 20, gozaru!" Honda was also at the height of excitement.

"Hon... da!" Jingu ran after her when provoked.

"Hahaha, you're too slow, degozaru!" Honda laughed loudly through the city as Jingu ran after her.

*

In the end, they actually ended up doing it 20 times. But it was also daylight outside. They spent a lot of time in the dungeon now and began looking like zombies by the 5th floor of the dungeon.

"Whoever told us to do it 20 times, speak up. I swear I won't beat you to death!" Jana was breathing heavily.

"…" Honda was silent as if it had nothing to do with her.

"It was Honda, degozaru," Jingu said with an awkward giggle.

"Jingu you... Do you still consider me a friend?" Honda was upset.

"Tsk, don't talk nonsense. You don't even care. You know she's just kidding, actually, we're all happy, degozaru," Jingu said in a tired voice.

Honda was silent. It was true, although they were almost dying of exhaustion, they were all smiling. That was because what they did was legendary.

"Just like before, the Level 10 Monster Cores - I don't want any," Nero told them.

They had 4,060 level 6, 4,440 level 7, 9,360 level 8, 2,280 level 9, and 19,080 level 10. There were 20,000 Level 10 Monster Cores! With that, they could all get up to level 18 or at least come close.

'Now I have 15,778 level 11 Monster Cores. I only need 10 to level up. The rest I'll give to my summoned monsters...' Nero said in her mind.

After everyone rested and took potions, Nero started using <Plunder> on all of the monsters. After sharing the Monster Cores with them, she waited for them to start meditating. When everyone started, she took out 10,000 level 11 Monster Cores.

'... I'll leave it to wear when I get to the inn.' She couldn't do things like last time, mainly because it was underwear. She would have to change. What if any of the boys saw it?

Nero spent 2940 points to raise her stats to the maximum she could, which was 2500... An absurdly high number. All her weariness passed as if it had never existed.

By the way, her hair was not completely pink, even her wings had turned pink. All the white parts were gone and she vomited a lot of impurity. It was stinky.

'I'm officially Rank D. And I'll now need 15,000 Monster Cores... I currently have, let me see... 8,878 level 12 Monster Cores... It will take me a couple of days to level up again,' Nero sighed.

She didn't know what was coming when the others would look at her current appearance, as her charm was at an incredible 2620 points.

Some hours later...

Everyone looked at Nero in a strange way, but then Jana was the first to comment. "Nero, your hair is all pink! It looks beautiful." She smiled.

"Yes, I admire Nero's beauty, degozaru," Jingu said as she smiled.

"Yes, she is an angel among us mere mortals~" Honda joked.

Basically, they spent a lot of time praising her and adoring her, but beyond that, nothing happened… Choko suddenly hugged Nero and kissed her with her tongue in front of everyone. It was as if she had taken a very powerful aphrodisiac.

Nero, in shock, returned the kiss but used Cellular Regeneration at the same time. This somehow made her think she could get Choko back to normal before she started ripping her clothes off right there.

"I... I..." Choko hid her face with her hands. She didn't know what had happened to her; she just knew that she felt a very strong urge to kiss Nero.

"Better now?" Nero asked.

"Yes, I think, but Nero, you are so beautiful~ I want to kiss you right now! No, I need to control myself… Come on, Choko!" Choko forced herself not to look at Nero as she raised her right arm to the sky.

The others came out of their daze but decided not to comment, though everyone, without exception, was red-faced.

It was daytime when they left. They had stayed a long time in the dungeon. When they left the dungeon, no matter where they went, they saw people praising Nero, talking about how strong she was, how beautiful she was, that she was a goddess, that she was an angel, etc. Some even motioned the will to pray to and worship Nero.

It almost made Choko explode with jealousy. She looked like a rabid dog staring at them as she held Nero's arm tight. But thanks to the cell regeneration Nero constantly used while Choko held her arm, she didn't go further than scolding some people who went overboard to the point of pitching pick-up lines at Nero.

'Could be worse, I think…' Nero muttered in her mind. At least they didn't turn into sex-crazed zombies.

However, another strange phenomenon happened. Wherever Nero went, she sometimes had people declaring their love, be it a man or woman. However, they weren't declarations to her, but for the people they liked.

"They're all so in love this morning, degozaru," Jingu said.

Suddenly, Jana stopped walking and took Breno's hand. She then yelled, "I can't hide it anymore, I love Breno and we're dating!"

"We already knew~" Honda scoffed.

"You thought you could hide it, Degozaru?" Even Jingu already knew.

"Did you already know?" Jana was silly. She didn't expect them all to have known. she looked at her brother angrily, "Was it you?"

"Of course not!" Jair denied fearly.

"Jana, it was obvious. You could try to hide it, but even a blind man could see the love between you two," Choko laughed and added, "Just like I love Nero very, very much and we are girlfriends!"

"..."

Jana was amazed, and what Choko said at the end made her roll her eyes. She was more of a guard dog, driving away everyone who approached Nero, rather than her girlfriend. Of course, Jana didn't dare say that...

"Jingu, your eyes are so beautiful~" Honda looked at Jingu.

"Wait, don't come, you're- Wha, gozaru..." Jingu couldn't finish what she was going to say when she saw Honda start laughing out loud while holding her stomach.

"Hahahahaha! You're so funny~ My God, did you really think I was going to say I'm in love with you? Hahaha, my god, I'm going to laugh, ah, ah, someone help me." Honda laughed so hard she rolled on the floor. Jingu was so embarrassed and angry that she snorted.

Only after a while did Honda recover. She got up and said, "I'm going to apologize to you. It looks like I went too far." She left.

"Breno the truth is…" Jair turned to Breno with his eyes gleaming.

"If you say something nonsensical, I swear I'll hit you." Jana threatened to close her hand into a fist.

"I'll go ahead, that's what I was going to say." After that, Jair ran. Little by little everyone went to the inn and went into their rooms. They showered and went to sleep.

Nero that morning showed Choko how to wash her body well, and helped to remove impurities... She was really in need of it after all~
