nCharm seems strong, if I could use it on myself, convincing people and acting more charismatic could become one of my strengths… the thing is, I am not such a person.

nI don’t consider myself charismatic, and I actually dislike standing out unless it is about doing business and more. Like it happened with the merchant, but otherwise, I would like to use other methods to approach people, not with just looks alone.

nBlood Edge was a strong candidate, but I would prefer to leave Eleanora in charge of this power for now, she’s way better at handling it than me, as it would only be 50% of its power if I use it.

nSo due to this, I decided to pick the last.

nYou’ve created a Link with Eleanora’s Shadow Sneak: Lv1 Skill and 10% of her total Stats

nA sudden wave of power permeated my entire body and soul once more, I could feel my strength growing a bit more…

nSo this is it! the power of linking to Eleanora’s 10% of her Stats… even 10% can be game changing. This was worth more than I ever thought.

nEleanora has created a Link with Blake’s Hard Worker: Lv1 Skill and 10% of his total Stats

nAnd Eleanora finished choosing, and picked the best option too, she had probably gone through the same mental image that I did if she was able to pick.

nHer entire body also exuded a new and strong aura from within, so this entire thing worked wonderfully, she had indeed grown stronger out of it, and so did I.

n“I… I linked to your newest Skill… I just couldn’t miss the opportunity to use it! Even if the effect is halved for me…” she said.

n“I understand the feeling. Growing faster is a priority… I also Linked with Shadow Sneak because it seemed like the most useful for me…” I said.

n“Ooh, I see! Very fitting of my lord’s tastes.” She said with a giggle.

nWhat did she meant by that? That I like dark things? I am not edgy.

nWith that said, I looked at Eleanora’s Status now that things were settled, the Grimoire showed it to me with ease by merely thinking about it.

nHer Stats… aside from my Mana and Intelligence, she was surpassing me by far.

nHaving only leveled up once, she already had a lot of Stats, and that’s not including my shared 10%, which is invisible.

nBut that also means I get to have 10% of her big stats, so it is greatly beneficial for both of us, this is why it is named “Spirit Link”.

nEleanora’s first Skills, the ones she came with have all become Level 2 a few days ago, she had been working hard in increasing their proficiency. I think the Vampire Queen and Half Vampire ones just reached Level 20 after I let her drink demon blood and she gained proficiency as “a vampire” or something.

nThese Skills only make her even stronger, and now that they’re Level 2, this is even more notorious. For the moment, it was enough to observe numbers, I decided to slowly make my way back home while testing Shadow Sneak.

nI covered my body with the Skill, by using some Mana, a veil of shadows coated my entire body, which allowed me to mix with the darkness of my surroundings, alongside my shadows and more.

nIts effect was halved, but it was still just as good, but compared to Eleanora, the intensity of the darkness and how much I could merge with it was not as big as hers.

nNonetheless, we used it together and we escaped the forest, running back to my room.

nAfter that, I silently dropped onto my bed… my human body was very tired… Having a human body that gets tired so quickly is indeed bothersome, especially if its that of a toddler.

nChildren my age really shouldn’t be doing something so dangerous, but there’s no helping it.

nThere is an ugly scar on my hand, but now the pain is gone, and it has fully recovered… I suppose there’s this full recovery by leveling, but only up to Level 10…

nLooking at my hand, I felt more and more tired, so I covered my body with the blankets, and decided to sleep.

nEleanora ended up cuddling with me at my side. I could have objected, but I was too tired, and she knew about it. Abusing my weakness and exhaustion to cuddle with me and rub her face over my shoulder.

n…To be honest, I didn’t mind her being like this. It honestly made me happy.

n…

nWhen I woke up it was once more another day, but there were a few things I quickly remembered now that I had woken up and felt energized. Aside from the beautiful sun coming from the window and the clean blue sky with barely any clouds, there was something inside of my mind.

n“How could I forget?” I sighed.

n“Uwah! Eh? Good morning…” said Eleanora.

nShe seemed to have been sleeping. Spirits can also sleep like humans I suppose. Our Link actually made it possible for her to sleep even better if she wanted… it appears to be the case.

n“Good morning, Eleanora… I forgot about something I acquired after Leveling up… a gift pack or something… How can I get it? it said… inside my bag?” I wondered.

nI looked inside my bag, aside from the demon corpses, there was a strange metallic box, seemingly made of bronze or something…
