Taking a look at his status after he was done spending his points, Rio couldn't help but grin. It cost a little but just in one night, he was back to the rank where he was. His stats too were now somewhat what he had back then. 

The only thing that changed was the amount of mana he had, which is almost half of what he previously had. But he couldn't hurry that now, since the aftereffects of EMMSY had still weakened him a little. 

He didn't want to boost his strength back with the system's help, he wanted to train himself for that and after that get his mana back. 

His resilience had fallen down a little too. Which is also because of the corrosive energy of that red sun in the dungeon. The sunlight there attacked one's mind and senses, slowly making them dull and turning one into undead creatures. 

He could buy pills or potions from the system which could cure it, but they were a little pricey. Though he had points, he didn't want to splurge them for free. And Rio already knew the recipe of a potion to heal himself, he just needed to wait until Ayla masters that and makes one for him. Which with her talent, shouldn't be long. 

Putting aside his rank and strength, he looked at his mastery of all the elements. Now other than Darkness which was his main element and reached proficient level, he had mastered some other elements too. 

Fire, ice, water and wind were at intermediate level. While nature and blood were at apprentice level. Leveling up Light and Space elements was hard, so he left them alone at the limit of amateur level, since he knew some of the protagonist's ways to master them. 

Due to his blessings of 'master of magic' and the protagonist's technique 'Elemental order' , he could easily learn them further now. 

He then spent his points on learning and mastering the skills of ice and water elements. After all, countering the protagonist was the most important thing. He also bought other useful spells of some characters and some new ones he found in the system shop. 

Though he could master them with points too, he decided to train them himself. Same was the case with techniques, he just bought some and kept them. 

Since he already mostly knew everything the academy will teach to the first year students, he'd have enough time to train them there. 

After the skills came the part about blessings. Over the years, he had gotten the attention of many gods and managed to acquire their blessings too. If not for the dungeon crash, by now he might've gotten a hell of a lot more, considering he was getting highlighted all over the world as a genius. 

But ohh well, he still has a chance. 

After all, showing himself superior in a batch of superior talents would attract more attention from gods. 

Instead of buying new blessings, Rio chose to spend his points on merging the similar blessings and unlocking their new upgraded version. Though this diminished his mastery over them, but it improved their effects, so he had no complaints. 

Talking about gods, he had managed to become the avatar of Hel, due to Loki's interest in watching him. Yet Loki himself hasn't even given him a single blessing, that slippery bastard. 

'He's just watching free drama.'

Rio thought, remembering all the notifications he got from Loki. He's always either laughing or trying to throw suggestions to fool him. Even his artifacts he got himself are tricky ones. 

He had already fooled Cassandra too, and if not for that incident back then, he would've already become her avatar. 

After Noah's death, Cassandra's all other prophecies have failed too, reducing her reputation and impact of her church in the world. Obviously he played a little part in that. Turns out having a family who runs their guild, companies and connections everywhere, makes things so smooth. 

He had promised her what she desired and that was enough to give her the hope to rise again. 

Maybe soon enough, both Skuld and Cassandra, 2 goddesses who play a important role in protagonist's camp -would be the backers of the main villain. 

'I also need to get Urd too. I don't know what she saw and why she chose to side with him in the . But he has to get her too. Lest like he's stealing the protagonist's chances, someone else steals his.' 

[You're forgetting about your main back up.]

[Nyx still hasn't chosen you as her avatar, and you've already boasted about it to the whole world. If she comes out and says that you're lying, all your reputation would be gone to shit.]

"She won't. She would've done it the moment I said that to mother. She didn't, since she doesn't care."

"And she's just dragging it out, like in the . She chose Rio on a whim one day too. And she'll choose me too. That's just her moodswings."

[And your sister being the avatar of her rival has nothing to do with that.]

"That's true too. With both their nature, they would've preferred a fight between their avatars, but since that won't be possible between us. Nyx is taking her time too."

'But I don't need to be worried about her. She's not gonna choose anyone else besides me and that's certain. She can drag it out as long as she wants. Worse comes to worse, I'll just buy all her blessings from system and show her that I don't need her. That oughta tick her off.'

[That's a really really bad idea, host.] System said Worriedly. This is why the skills of gods were locked for now. So it's host doesn't get the attention of gods, about how he got their original skills. 

Other skills can be explained saying that he copied them from their avatars. But if he bought and showed off skills that gods didn't even give to their avatars, he'd be caught by them. It might even arouse the suspicion of world system too. Since it watches over the gods. Even if we ignore everything, messing with a primordial, is never a good idea. 

Rio also understood all those points. He wasn't an idiot show off after all. "It's just an idea. I'll wait until phase 2 begins before doing that."

 The items of shop which were given by 'the being' were still locked, and he hasn't managed to open them yet. But he wasn't worried about them. 

He also plans to meet with his alchemist too, since he brought some interesting potion recipes from the system. 

His inventory was filled with stuff he hoarded till now. Since the academy didn't allow extra artifacts inside to anybody. And whatever he takes inside would be recorded in their data, this inventory of his had become his secret space to bring everything inside. 

He can even open a black market inside the academy, and become the sole supplier of everything. 

Hell he could even bring in nether cards or buy a fucking nuke and kaboom the academy, and no one could stop him. 

'Wonder why no other protagonist's who has a system in the s I read ever did that.'

[Because they aren't as crazy as you, host. And why do you even want to blast the academy anyway.] System asked, a little worried that it's host might really do that someday. So it needed it's clarity now, so it doesn't get another shock later on. [And don't tell me, just cause you can.]

Rio, who was about to answer just that, coughed and changed his answer "It's because of them that i suffered in the dungeon. Of course I deserve a little payback."

[..... ] system just kept silent, as it read his thoughts. 

(RIP to the academy) 

Aside from all these, Rio's gaze landed on 2 projects the system was still working on. Those were his Trump cards that he came up with, against the fate and future of this .

They're also the ones which cost him the most of his points. 

From a whopping 1 million points, now he had wasted more than half those points already. 

'Well I'll earn a lot, once I join the academy. Since that's a treasure trove of points waiting for me.'

Thinking about that, he smiled and walked out of his room. Myra was waiting outside, as everyone else was in the hall, saying their goodbyes to Amelia now. It'll be a while since they could leave their academy and come back.

 (Author - So the environment got a little emotional I guess. So I'll skip it and leave it to your imagination. Hehehe) 

'Well let's leave now.' Rio thought and walked into the teleportation gate, which would take them to the floating islands.
