Chapter 3: Stats And Goddess
"To see your stats, you can call your status. Your level along your main skill will be displayed. Use your status point however you want but wisely." Khione said.
"Status." I called out to my status.

Are you kidding ?
She clearly outclassed
in every stat.
It was downright embarrassing to see her superior strength, speed, and stamina.
What was this unfairness?
It felt like so divine prankster had bestowed upon
these lousy stats.
Was it because I had an E-Rank as my Main Skill?
"And you?" Sienna asked.
"Nothing impressive, just an E-Rank for my Main Skill," I replied with a nonchalant shrug.
Sienna, on the other hand, was truly blessed with her SS-Rank.
Perhaps from my tone, Sienna picked up that I wasn't keen on flaunting my pitiful stats, so she simply nodded politely.
Yeah, it wasn't like those scenes from Japanese manga.
Real step-sibling relationships were undeniably awkward.
At least Sienna made an effort to converse with , unlike Siara who was giggling around with Jason.
He was surrounded by girls who seed to have turned off their brains after getting isekai'd.
It often happens in Isekai anis.
Just the thought of Sienna's impressive stats with her SS-Rank Skill made
shudder to consider what Jason's must be like with his Protagonist Skill and aura.
Once again, life's unfairness hit
like a ton of bricks.
Luck certainly played a role, but when luck wasn't on your side, you had to forge your own.
I decided to invest all 20 of my Skill Points into my Luck stats.
And it didn't end there; I could even reallocate points from my other stats to further boost my Luck.
"Before we proceed to the palace, we've prepared suitable attire for you to be warmly received by the Emperor and the capital's populace. They're eagerly awaiting the parade and your arrival," Khione announced with a smile.
She sure had a knack for acting.
That seemingly genuine smile of hers was nothing but a facade.
I would have almost believed it if not for the contemptuous look she gave
upon seeing my E-Rank Skill.
"A parade?" Alia echoed, clearly taken aback.
"Yes, let's not dawdle," Khione urged, gesturing to her knights, who promptly escorted us out.
As everyone began to filter out one by one, I halted my steps at the door leading outside.
"Nathan?" Teacher Alia glanced at , puzzled.
I offered her a smile. "Just need so advice from the Goddess. I'll catch up with you all later. Please go ahead."
"Alright...but do be careful," Ms. Carter cautioned, her wariness visible.
The knight gave
a brief look before exiting and closing the door behind them, leaving
alone in the hall with the Goddess, who stood by the altar, her gaze fixed upon it.
I couldn't discern her expression.
"Do you require sothing, Hero Nathan?" She asked without turning around.
"Oh, you rember my na? I was under the impression you couldn't care less about Heroes with a Skill of D-Rank or lower, Goddess Khione," I said with a laugh, the sound echoing through the hall.
Khione slowly pivoted, a gentle smile gracing her features. "I apologize if there was any misunderstanding, Hero Nathan. All Heroes hold significance to ."
With her truly divine beauty, she was quite convincing, I had to admit. But I wasn't like those naive fellows. My mindset was different, without a hint of arrogance.
My safety above everything else.
And at present, my safety was under threat in this damn fantasy world teeming with monsters and demons, and I was utterly defenseless against them with those stats.
If I didn't take risks now, I might as well resign myself to being devoured alive by creatures of the dark.
Between taking a risk against a hot Goddess or a monster, the choice was quickly made.
"Well, let's say I believe you. I'm currently in a great pinch because of my stats so can you do
a favor?" I asked with a smile.
