After Elijah took his time allocating the Stat Points he gained from all the level ups, it was time to head down to have a feast with the royal family.
As he was descending the stairs and walking throughout the castle, he checked the level of every individual, and everyone...was at least 40 levels over him, so only question marks could be seen next to their health bars and levels.
"Cloud, get off my head and act dignified, OK? We're here" He said as he stepped up before a giant door, maybe 3 times his size. Suddenly, as he was about to push it open, it started slowly opening by itself to reveal a huge table full of tasty looking dishes and the 3 elves sitting down waiting for Elijah.
"Welcome sir Elijah, we've prepared the tastiest delicacies in the whole of Hanor Ponto. Come here and sit so we can start eating" The king said and patted the seat next to him on the head of the table, but before Elijah could sit, a pleasant surprise took place.
"Father, he'll sit next to me for this evening. Rest assured, I'll make sure to present him every dish and make him taste the best ones we have to offer" Alvis grabbed his arm, and her chest was pressing against it making Elijah blush furiously.
"Here sir Elijah" She smiled and led him to his seat next to her and her brother. They both sat down and he checked the fancy clothes they were wearing, then he compared them to his and sighed.
"Thank you, everyone, for making this celebration, but -" As he was talking, Cloud slipped out of his arms and started ravaging the food in front of them.
"Hohoho, let the Devine beast eat all it wants. Now sir Elijah, let's start negotiating" Asmus, the elf king changed to a more serious tone after that, Elijah just sat back and braced himself for what was about to come.
"I want you to have my daughters hand" He said with full confidence, his expression not changing at all as he looked directly into Elijah's eyes.
"...Uhm" He looked over to Alvis, which was blushing and hiding her face with her hands, but not being opposed to her father's proposition.
"I'll respectfully decline. Even if Alvis is beautiful and strong, I'm not here to marry or find love...since you rescued me after I blacked out, I'll tell you a secret" He sighed reluctantly, now all eyes were on him.
"I'm an otherworlder...I've come to this place by accident, and I have to defeat <
"Hahaha we already know sir Elijah" Edoris said, holding back tears.
"Sir Elijah, it's not that rare for otherworlders to be here" Alvis tried to hold her laugh back, resulting in her looking even cuter.
"Sir Elijah, I too have the <
Elijah's face flushed red from embarrassment, Cloud just kept eating but snickering from time to time like she understood the situation.
"O-ok I get it...so you've met otherworlders before?" He asked and looked at the three elves and then took a bite of the delicious looking food that was in front of him.
"Long story short, our mother was an otherworlder" Edoris explained with a smile. "She came from earth as a human but turned into an elf when she got here"
"As my son said, my wife was not of this world but I loved her regardless" Asmus reminisced about his deceased wife. "Sorry for asking" Elijah said after the mood got heavy.
"Well, she's been gone for a while now so there's no need to worry" Alvis smiled at Elijah after talking to him with a cute voice as always.
"Does that mean..." Elijah said confused. "Yes sir Elijah, every 100 years a new batch of otherworlders is summoned into the world of Arastel and the previous bunch included my dear wife which is no longer with us" The kings smiled at Elijah.
"Wow I didn't know, once again sorry for asking such insensitive question your highness" He bowed his head apologetically, but as he did that, Alvis reached out and patted his head.
"Sir Elijah, I already told you there is no need to worry" She warmly smiled at him as she continued doing her actions.
"Sister...please don't act like that towards our savior" Edoris said embarrassed on her accord. In response the beautiful female elf pulled her hand back and apologized.
"...I'll take your hand in marriage" Elijah mumbled and kept his head bowed to hide his grin.
"What did you say? I didn't hear a thing" The king said loudly from the other side of the huge table.
"Nothing at all" He replied after composing himself. "Ugh...anyways back to our conversation. I kind of expected you to decline so I prepared another option"
Elijah nodded and waited for it, hoping it's not absurd like the last one. "We can get you to level 50" The old man said and laid back on his chair.
"With a certain item we can... which is very expensive" He mumbled the last part under his breath. "We can make you gain the necessary experience to reach exactly level 50. How does that sound sir Elijah?"
Exasperated he could become so high leveled at the beginning of his journey, he nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes please. I want that, please ughh" From all the excitement, he bit his tongue and covered his mouth.
"Bring it in" Asmus said with a sigh and a servant walked in, he was wearing a tuxedo and was holding a tray with a shiny looking orb on it.
"Sir Elijah, I have to warn you that this is very dangerous...if it fails, you could be stuck at the same level forever" Edoris said slightly concerned.
"Don't worry, I have it" Elijah smiled and waited for the servant to leave the small orb on the table.
After the servant did his job, he bowed and left. That's when all of the eyes were once again on Elijah...except Cloud, Cloud kept eating, not bothered by the situation.
Alvis gently took his hand and placed it on the orb. "Sir Elijah, just think of the sensation of leveling up and it'll be done"
"...Just marry me already" Elijah said in his head and once again regained his composure. "Thanks Alvis, I'll do my best" Alvis nodded along with the usual smile and let him do it.
Soon after he closed his eyes, a blinding light started shining from the orb.
"Level up, due to being the first otherworlder to reach level 50, you're going to be awarded with a Unique Title" The voice of the system said out of nowhere.
"Huh? Unique Title?" He said scratching his head in confusion. "Elijah...did you just say Unique Title?" The king said surprised and stood up to walk next to Elijah after he absorbed the orb.
"Yes indeed, but it has yet to reveal the name" He looked up at him and sighed.
"<
"...You're definitely a monster amongst irregulars my boy" He gave him a hearty laugh afterwards and sat on the seat next to him. The Stat window automatically popped up.

"Woah I even gained a new skill, and all of my existing skills got upgraded" He said excitedly as he checked his stats. The 2 younger elves clapped for him, and the king patted his back.
"Well when you level up to level 50 that is what happens, don't let it get into your head" He said to Elijah thinking his new skill was a low ranked one.
"Thank you so much all of you, I'm really grateful and I'll do anything to pay you ba--" Before he could stand up and bow Cloud sniffed the orb he had used and quickly ate it, swallowing it up. Everyone looked at her shocked.
"NO YOU IDIOT SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT" He quickly started bumping her back so she could spit it out but to no avail.
"It seems that the Divine beast will...get even more divine" Alvis said and chuckled.
"Why are you calling Cloud Divine beast anyways?" He said still freaked out from the whole thing. Quickly he used <

"Master...is something wrong?" The little fox said with a female voice out loud. Elijah couldn't be more surprised, so he actually fainted.
"Hey master, did I do something bad? The form of the little fox started changing, but he couldn't see it because he lost consciousness.
