In this Second Chance at Life, where I can see skills as clear as day, everything feels like a breeze. And to make it even better, I’m spending my days joyfully with my First Love. - Chapter 67

After defeating the Supreme God and making her Ichika’s familiar, we gained the ability to freely travel between the Divine Realm and Earth.

In other words, I could now meet Poseidon whenever I wanted.

“They say a man changes in three days, but it seems I’ve been left even further behind after a year,” Poseidon remarked.

“But you’ve definitely improved a lot over the year, Poseidon,” Ichika replied encouragingly.

“Indeed. I trained with the determination not to lose again,” Poseidon said proudly.

After a light sparring session that left us both drenched in sweat, I extended a hand to help up the whale-like merman. His muscles, even more impressive than last year, gleamed under the effort.

Thanks to defeating the Supreme God, Poseidon no longer had any reason to invade Earth.

Thus, I had no need to make him a familiar, and we could now cultivate a genuine friendship based on a shared appreciation for strength and muscle.

Recently, I’d been visiting the Divine Realm more frequently, engaging in mock battles with various gods. I imposed handicap rules to make the fights more balanced—for example, only using my right arm, focusing solely on defense, or relying solely on intimidation.

With Poseidon, as long as we avoided the ocean or magical barriers, our fights were pretty even.

It was during these sparring matches that a thought occurred to me:

Could I estimate my own stats again?

Sure, the Supreme God had stripped me of my stats and skills, but I still possessed undeniable strength. Thanks to Repetitive Trial, I could remember and replicate many skills, even if they no longer showed up in my status display.

And with Ichika’s Foresight, I could peek at the stats of gods and ordinary humans alike.

Using the results of my mock battles and feats, I figured I could approximate my own stats as if I were measuring my grip strength or endurance.

And so, I tried. Here’s the result:

While the display no longer showed skills that weren’t at max level, that didn’t mean I’d forgotten how to use them. It wasn’t as if I’d lost the ability to cook or forgotten the languages I’d learned, for instance.

As for the lack of a level, it’s because the loss of skills meant I couldn’t formally track my growth. If I still had my skills, my level would have undoubtedly increased, but without a way to verify it, I marked it as “N/A” for convenience.

That said, when it came to raw stats…

Well, they’ve increased dramatically.

After defeating the Supreme God and making her Ichika’s familiar, we gained the ability to travel freely between the Divine Realm and Earth.

This meant I could meet Poseidon whenever I wanted.

“They say a man changes in three days, but after a year, the gap between us has only grown wider,” Poseidon remarked.

“But it looks like you’ve improved a lot over the year, Poseidon-san,” Ichika responded warmly.

“Indeed. I trained hard, determined not to lose again,” Poseidon replied proudly.

After a light sparring session that left us both drenched in sweat, I extended my hand to help the whale-like merman up. His muscles, even more impressive than last year, rippled under the strain.

Thanks to defeating the Supreme God, Poseidon no longer had any reason to invade Earth.

So, I had no need to make him a familiar, and instead, we could cultivate a genuine friendship founded on mutual respect for strength and muscle.

Lately, I’ve been visiting the Divine Realm frequently, engaging in mock battles with gods. To keep things balanced, I imposed handicap rules—such as only using my right arm, focusing solely on defense, or relying only on intimidation.

When sparring with Poseidon, as long as we avoided the ocean or magical barriers, our fights were evenly matched.

During one such session, a thought struck me:

Could I estimate my own stats again?

Even though the Supreme God had stripped me of my stats and skills, I still possessed undeniable strength. Thanks to Repetitive Trial, I could remember and replicate many skills, even if they no longer appeared in my status display.

With Ichika’s Foresight, I could also peek at the stats of gods and mortals alike.

Using the results of sparring matches and approximations, I decided to calculate my stats. Here’s what I came up with:

Name: Yasushi Sashima
Health: 90 / 90
Strength: 64
Magic Power: 7,107,830
Agility: 64 (Divine Units)
Level: 230
Occupation: Tamer

Familiars:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Demi-God Dragon

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 100,000 “Yasushi & Ichika’s Killing Machine Vol. 2” units

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 9 Hermes Pigeons

Skills:

Physical Enhancement

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Agility Boost, Health Boost, Strength Boost, Magic Boost

Abilities

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Appraisal, Super Recovery, Parallel Thinking, Item Box, Martial Arts

Miscellaneous

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Damage Reduction, Magic Efficiency Boost

Occupation Skills

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Familiar Summoning, Enhancement, Obedience

Special Skills

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Repetitive Trial

Titles:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The Ravager, Numerical Violence, Subjugator of Evil

The stats labeled (Divine Units) were absurd. Each point in those stats equaled roughly one quadrillion in human terms.

My magic power had increased 70-fold compared to a year ago, while other attributes had risen roughly 30-fold on average. Clearly, my enhancement skills were still intact.

Ichika’s Status:

Name: Ichika Kobayashi
Health: 18 / 18
Strength: 2
Magic Power: 84
Agility: 1 (Divine Units)
Level: 121
Occupation: Witch

Skills:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Elemental Magic, Light and Dark Magic

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Alchemy, Summoning, Magic Resistance

Unique Skill:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Foresight

Title:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The One Who Mastered Witchcraft

Ichika’s raw stats weren’t vastly different from those of a mid-tier god, but her strength and charm couldn’t be captured in numbers alone.

Interestingly, our levels had risen significantly. It seems defeating gods directly boosts levels for those of the Jinma race—a trait tied to their nature as enemies of gods.

To level up efficiently, Ichika and I occasionally sparred with the Supreme God in her Divine Field, where the fights were surprisingly balanced.

In the past month, I proposed to Ichika, and we’ve been preparing for our wedding.

The venue? According to Koumei, it’ll be an extravagant celebration hosted by the entire nation.

Initially, I thought it’d be a quiet affair in the depths of the dungeon with only my family and Ichika’s parents attending, but a grand ceremony might not be so bad.

Soon, Ichika and I will officially become husband and wife.

For a moment, I thought, We’ve been living together for five years; not much will change.

But then I realized—I’m turning 18, still incredibly young, and there’s so much ahead: children, the looming disaster in ten years, and countless uncertainties.

Yet, I’m not afraid.

Because I have Ichika.

She’s the girl I was drawn to in my past life, the one I finally confessed to in this second life.

Even when my presence intimidated others, she stayed by my side.

She’s the one who cheers me on, the one I love more than anything.

For her, I can do anything.

“Ichika… thank you for marrying me.”

“No, Yasushi, thank you for marrying me.”

I can’t wait to see Ichika in her wedding dress.

There’s still a month until the ceremony…
