The difference in using the mithril rings had been noticed by Leon much faster. Although he thought he would be able to level up his skills like two times faster, it had been, in fact, a little more than that. In just one day, he leveled up his new skills up to level fifty.

"It is difficult to find monsters or other enemies that have well-distributed status... everyone wants to be specialist at something be at magic or punching people," Leon said. "So, I guess I should keep this pace, learn, and level up the other curses that decrease status."

The problem was, every single spell of that series cost five million coins. Even though it wasn't really expensive to him, even though it was necessary, even though he decided not to hesitate anymore... he felt bothered when he bought them.

Although Leon felt quite satisfied with seeing his skill list getting more prominent, he felt troubled by losing so many coins.

"Don't overthink about it, don't overthink about..." Leon said as if that was a prayer to think about something else. "Anyway, I guess there is no misfortune curse or something. Savage's Curse decreases strength, Inept's Curse decreases dexterity, and Sick's Curse decreases endurance... those alongside the Coward's Curse will be useful to deal with troublesome melee fighters."

The most troublesome enemies that almost killed Leon until now were warriors, their resilience was annoying, but the true enemies, the harvesters, most of them were mages or at least those who could one-shot kill Leon. So, Leon couldn't ignore the Fool's Curse that decreased intelligence, Wild's Curse that decreases control, and Anima's Curse reduces mentality.

"It would be great if, by using those skills on myself, I could increase my attributes, but I guess that is a bit too much to hope for," Leon said while he was leveling up his new skills. "Still... the feeling caused by them is quite... unsettling."

Leon didn't become smarter when he increased his intelligence thousands of times, but he could feel himself getting dumber when he used the Fool's Curse. He felt like complaining to Ilyana and saying some pretty heavy things to her, and the sentences that Leon felt like saying couldn't be shown to some audiences. The same thing happened to other curse's; the Coward's Curse made Leon become even more worried by the smallest things... it was like an extra effect very convenient for Leon, but that would trouble his enemies quite a bit.

Although the effects were troublesome, the notifications made Leon continue to use his skills. He also was determined not to worry too much about the smallest things anymore. So, that helped him to some extent.

"Just the magic items I have isn't enough... Although the attributes I can gain by using them are limited, the skills aren't. It is time to obtain some special effects to increase my training speed even more. But first, I want to check the weapons in the dungeon shop."

Leon didn't check the weapons being sold at the shop in a long time, and he decided to buy some things that would make his life much more convenient like a magic box and soul eater, but he didn't find those."

"... Maybe I will find those in the dungeon shops of other worlds."

Leon was about to leave that planet anyway, so that wasn't all that troublesome. Still, he had to inform Ilyana. Even though she was annoying and troublesome, they were partners... at least for the time being.

"I'm going to visit a few worlds to make some magic items," Leon declared. "If you need me for something, you can use Telepathy."

"Well, better late than never..." Ilyana shrugged. "Just a piece of advice, even though you can forge items that can grant you some skills up to the max level. You shouldn't use them outside this place. Those things leave a trail that lasts for a long while. Unless you want the harvesters to attack your planet, you should only use those here."

Leon nodded since it made sense. Still, even though he wanted to give a few of those magic items, he refrained from doing so since all of the important figures and the troublesome bastards would investigate them first before doing anything. Regardless, after that, Leon left that world and explored the ones that were connected to Earth.
