After crafting a new weapon, Altair began his journey of leveling up alongside Saeko. Since the dungeon floor was quite deep, Saeko couldn't slay monsters as easily as before, even with her Sword Demon skill activated. So, she fought rationally, with Altair watching over her.
The two of them stayed on the 27th floor, defeating whatever monsters appeared. Every day, they entered the dungeon at 9 AM and left at 5 PM, following a 9-to-5 routine, taking breaks in between. It was like going to work. Hestia noticed that Altair was entering the dungeon more frequently than before, which made her a bit unhappy, but there was nothing she could do. Altair was amid a fervor from having just received his new toy, and he also wanted to quickly level up to Level 3 to unlock new skills.
As for the promise he made to be a fan of the Loki Familia, Altair wasn't in a rush. There was plenty of ti for that; he'd deal with it later!
In the anti, Altair and Saeko, who were keen on grinding monsters, gradually beca famous among adventurers.
Two Level 1s leveling on the 27th floor... that was quite sothing! Though Altair had already reached Level 2, he hadn't registered with the Guild or claid a title, so, to the public, he was still considered Level 1.
Adventurers who often ventured deep into the 27th floor gradually beca aware of Altair and Saeko... a woman who looked wild, seemingly from the Far East, and a man wielding a strange large sword while holding a wooden sign in his other hand. This unique pair was easy to rember.
Altair earned the nickna Big Sword Guy, while Saeko beca known as Sword Demon.
Saeko's nickna ca easily. She always fought with a terrifying smile that would scare children, sotis even covered in the blood of monsters, yet still managed to dance and slay like it was nothing. High-level adventurers found her unsettling, and those from the Far East called her a demon.
Thus, the nickna Sword Demon stuck, which pleased Saeko since Altair had originally wanted her to earn that title.
As for Altair's Big Sword Guy nickna, he was less thrilled.
"What kind of weird nickna is that? Who even cos up with sothing as la as Big Sword Guy? Are you joking?"
During the battle, due to a passive skill, Altair couldn't speak, so he always held a dialogue board in his left hand while gripping a massive sword with his right. This made his fighting style look strange, even comical. Even when he sliced a Level 3 monster in half with one swing, other adventurers weren't particularly impressed. So they ca up with the nickna based on his odd appearance.
Thus, the strange nickna Big Sword Guy was born.
Altair was furious. He hadn't even figured out what his title should be, and now they were saddling him with this ridiculous na. If the gods caught wind of it, it could easily beco his official title!
Unfortunately, nicknas are sothing you can't control, especially when they're spread by others.
Angered, Altair asked Hestia to publicly announce his advancent to Level 2 and help him get an official title at the next Denatus before this nickna spread any further.
To ensure his title sounded respectable, Altair even approached Loki for help. If only Hestia spoke up at the council, it would be nearly impossible to get a good title, but with Loki's backing, it would be a different story... almost guaranteed. Luckily, Altair and Hestia had no ambitions of challenging Loki Familia's standing in Orario, so Loki agreed to help. She was, however, shocked that Altair had leveled up to Level 2 so quickly.
Her own Ais had held the record for the fastest advancent to Level 2, and that had taken a year!
But what had Altair done? He had leveled up in just two months? No, based on the situation, it hadn't even taken him two months. He had likely already reached Level 2 much earlier but had only revealed it now because of the recent nickna!
According to Altair's original agreent with Hestia, he hadn't planned on revealing his level, but that ridiculous nickna was unacceptable!
While exposing his level might bring so trouble, being cool was a lifelong commitnt!
Moreover, there was another crucial reason... after grinding for a while on the 27th floor, Altair's stats were nearing their cap. Before leveling up to Level 3, he needed to report his Level 2 status to the Guild.
There was no helping it... grinding in tougher areas could sotis lead to such rapid progress. Saeko, who had been leveling alongside Altair and benefited from her overpowered skills, was also nearing Level 2. Her progress would likely be even easier than Altair's due to her passive ability that allowed her to break through limits.
After spending just over two months in this world, Altair officially beca Level 2. Like other isekai victims, he broke Orario's record for the fastest level-up to Level 2. With Hestia leading the way and Loki's support, he received the title Knight at the Denatus.
King of Knights was out of reach, and Holy Sword Wielder was impossible, so Altair settled for the title Knight. It was much better than Big Sword Guy.
To make sure the gods thought he fit the Knight title, Altair even drew fan art of Arthur Pendragon for Hestia to present at the Denatus. The knightly aura hit its mark, and the Knight title was approved.
After receiving his title, Altair continued to grind hard and soon accumulated enough experience to reach Level 3.
With the help of Hestia's divine blood, Altair successfully broke through to Level 3.
As before, a system notification popped up before Altair after his level up.
