Tenta and the others finished the dungeon by lunch. Even with traps present and weak F-Grade monsters, such as wolves, boars, and kobolds, showing up, they were much faster than before. There were no ranged attacks or magic on the first ten layers, so there was no actual danger.

The first ten layers are only a tutorial created by the dungeon for newbie adventurers. The real deal starts on the 11th layer, which is also why F-Rank adventurers who still haven't cleared the tenth layer are still looked down on.

Of course, Tenta and the others, with their current level, could effortlessly clear all ten layers. It was just that they wanted to prepare more.

And so, they returned to have a hearty lunch together... But they were all in for a surprise as a third Big Eater suddenly emerged.

Munch* Nom* Nom* Gulp* Munch* Nom* Nom* Gulp*...

Cornelia, Daylily, Sierra, Alex, and even Roberta were surprised to see Tenta eating like a maniac.

It wasn't one or two people's portions... But ten. In 15 minutes, he ate ten servings of food.

This happened because Tenta activated Virility Conversion. Tenta was converting food into energy at a ridiculous speed of over 50 times usual. Usually, there would be a limit to such frenzied eating since the body could only store a limited amount of energy. However, Bottomless Virility changed this. His energy storage was effectively ten times more. His body desperately absorbed more to replenish the new empty reserves.

"How is he doing that? Did he also get Gluttony?" Alex widened her eyes.

"Pii! Like. Me!" Daylily exclaimed in shock.

"..." Cornelia, sitting next to him, didn't talk. She felt that Tenta suddenly smelled several times more... Delicious. It made her want to drag Tenta to the tent then and there.

"What insane Vitality... And it is so soft and pure... What would his blood taste like?" Sierra wondered, drooling.

Finally, after 15 minutes, Tenta stopped eating.

"Hah... Thanks for the food..." Tenta sighed, feeling full of energy. He felt like he could swing a sword all day and not grow tired.

"Boy... What kind of stunt did you pull?" Roberta asked, her marble eye shining. "During those 15 minutes, your energy conversion was ridiculous... And you now have over ten times as much Vitality compressed inside you. And your blood is suddenly overflowing with gentle and pure Vitality. What happened to you?"

"I got a Unique Class called Fount of Vitality, and that is what I got." Tenta gave a white lie. There was no way he would tell them it was Virility.

"Then it must be a G-SS class. Such a sudden boost is impossible otherwise." Roberta asserted, deliberately ignoring the white lie Tenta made.

"Wow! You have another Unique Class! And it is comparable to mine?!" Alex exclaimed. "What happened? Did an old Froggie try to steal your body, and you killed him?"

"It's better if I don't say it," Tenta earnestly said.

It would hurt Alex's ego if he told her that a mere skill from a Unique G-SSS class casually made it because he requested it... And it was super embarrassing to admit it was because he was afraid of turning into dry seafood.

"Suit yourself." Alex shrugged. But then she gave a cheeky grin. "Now that you have all that excess energy... Think you can handle me as well?" She said while raising her chest.

"Dammit, Alex! Stop that!" Cornelia frowned and yelled.

"What? He has a class called Fount of Vitality and has ten times the energy, so you can't say he can't handle it anymore." Alex frowned in dissatisfaction. "I bet he can now satisfy ten of you."

"Yeah... I think he can also handle it if I join in." The beautiful Vampiress said, wiping her drool while staring intently at Tenta with crimson eyes as if he were a delicacy.

"Uwa... I expected this to happen, but I am a snack now, hah?" Tenta warily thought.

"You too?!" Cornelia flinched back. 

"Don't tell me you can't sense it." Sierra glanced at Cornelia. "He now smells so good that the blood in my cup almost feels stale. Although the energy isn't quite there yet... Drinking double from his blood would have a similar effect, and the experience would be sublime..." As she said that, drool leaked from her lips again as she looked at Tenta.

That was indeed the case. The agreed-upon consensus was that, for every racial grade, your overall stats are double on the same level. For example, the overall stats of a lvl 1 adult Human are supposedly four times higher than a lvl 1 G-grade horned rabbit. A lvl 1 B-Grade monster is overall eight times stronger than a human. Of course, this does not include racial traits, skills, classes, and Unique Skills improving an individual's stats.

Although the blood she drank now was almost too luxurious for a Minor Vampire like her, Tenta gave out the perfect smell, even by her picky Vampire standards, to the point she would toss away the precious blood and drink Tenta's blood instead if offered.

"..." Cornelia fell silent because Sierra spoke true.

Lust Demons were proud of sex and would usually not share a male, instead using different sexual plays to keep him entertained and drained... Unless he was too much for them. When that happened, Lust Demons had a switch of mindset and would even take the initiative to bring more females to pleasure him. This was out of pride running in their blood and survival instincts of wanting to keep the male satisfied and not discard them.

Before this, Cornelia wanted to keep Tenta to herself because he was her boyfriend, and her Lust Demon's pride caused her to reject Alex and even try to prove she could satisfy Tenta by herself... But now, she knew it was hopeless. It was enough to make her pride and instincts switch sides and crush her human desire to keep Tenta to herself.

"Tenta," Roberta spoke again. "Do you remember what I taught you about the relation between Life Energy and Aura?"

"Yes. That Aura is the byproduct of Life Energy." Tenta said.

"Correct. However, do you know how the body translates it?" Roberta asked.

"I don't know." Tenta shook his head.

"Vitality. The link between Life Energy and Aura is Vitality. It is the same with the Soul and Mental Energy having Intelligence between them." Roberta explained.

"Are you trying to say... That since my Vitality Storage is now ten times higher... I have ten times the Aura?!" Tenta exclaimed in shock.

"Correct. And that isn't all. The Pure Aura in your blood is several times higher in quality. You now have the physique of an inexhaustible Aura-Gifted Warrior." Roberta said with a deep expression.

"Pii! Amazing!" Daylily exclaimed.

"Uwa..." Alex was taken aback.

"... Abusrd..." Sierra muttered.

"..." Cornelia stared with wide eyes at Tenta, her head full of questions.

"I unintentionally made a ridiculous class..." Tenta thought.

"With your current amount of Aura and its purity, you should easily sense it now. Focus on your blood and try sensing it." Roberta said.

"Here?" Tenta asked.

"Yes, here." Roberta nodded.

"Okay..." Tenta closed his eyes and tried to focus on his blood.

Everyone in the room turned quiet.

"Imagine it flowing through your veins, like a gentle ebb and flow with every beat of your heart. Focus." Roberta said.

Tenta listened to her instructions as he slowly sensed a hint of something in his blood, a force. He then tried to focus on it, and he slowly sensed more and more. As if changing lenses, he suddenly sensed his Aura.

"I sense it..." Tenta opened his eyes and said.

"Congratulations, Tenta." Cornelia smiled.

"Amazing!" Daylily exclaimed and circled Tenta three times to express her happiness.

"Nice." Alex grinned.

Sierra silently nodded in acknowledgment.

"Now that you can sense Aura, you should start learning how to manipulate it. Sierra, this one is on you." Roberta said.

"Yes, Roberta." Sierra gave a respectful nod and stood up. "Tenta, follow me outside."

"Okay," Tenta replied and got up.

"As for the rest of you, return to your training," Roberta instructed.

The other girls nodded and went to their respective training.

Outside the hut, Sierra started instructing Tenta on how to manipulate Aura.

"Tenta, try to feel your Aura again," Sierra said, sitting cross-legged on the grass. Thankfully, drinking enough blood was enough to suppress her desire to drink Tenta's blood... for now.

"Okay..." Tenta nodded and sensed his Aura again. Slowly, he felt the flow of energy in his veins. "I sense it."

"Good. Now try moving it." Sierra instructed.

Tenta did as told and tried to move it. After a few minutes, he managed to move a bit of it. "I moved some!" Tenta exclaimed.

"Good. For the next two weeks, focus on manipulating it and try to control it as much as possible." Sierra said and got up.

"There are no tricks or advice?" Tenta helplessly asked.

"I am afraid not." Sierra shook her head. "Although training Aura is much more straightforward than magic, it still requires discipline and practice."

"I see. Thank you for your time." Tenta nodded.

"No problem. However, I would like some of your blood once Roberta stops giving it." Sierra grinned.

"You might enter Vampiric Lust, you know." Tenta warily said.

"I don't mind." Sierra softly smiled. "In my previous life, I was a prideful woman from a noble upbringing who rejected the advances of all men, making me end up dying as a 25-year-old virgin."

"I can relate to that feeling." Tenta bitterly said.

"Hmhm. Then let's look forward to it. Sex, I mean." Sierra gave a charming, almost longing look as she went to train in another area.

"... Let's look forward to it..." Tenta's facial tentacles tugged up slightly.

Shaking his head, Tenta continued his training. When he got tired of trying to manipulate his Aura, he also tried moving the grass. But as expected, it would take more time to do it.

That evening, after dinner, inside Tenta and Cornelia's tent.

"You can join, but if Tenta can't handle it, you need to get satisfaction from something else. And once we are done, you return to your tent." Cornelia said, giving Alex the bottom line.

"I know." Alex nodded.

"Pii! Sharing!" Daylily smiled from ear to ear.

They then turned their hungry eyes toward Tenta, sitting cross-legged on the bedroll.

"Okay, Tenta... Try to prove your worth as a man and living sex toy..."
