As Setsuna and Utaha stepped forward to volunteer first, Kurumi appeared to have a sudden realization.

"Aside from Setsuna and Utaha, the rest of us here are far from ordinary. With lifespans that are practically limitless, isn't this the perfect opportunity for everyone to grow stronger?" 

Kurumi, often the voice of mischief, proved to be surprisingly reliable when it counted. In this moment, she wasn't just thinking of herself—she was thinking of everyone. 

"Let's not forget about the Butterfly sisters from Demon Slayer, as well as Akame and Esdeath. They're powerful, sure, but still human. And Mikoto…" 

She paused briefly before shrugging. "Never mind. I'll call them all. If we're going to deal with gods in their(Mikoto) own world, we'll need to be at our best." 

Kurumi didn't waste any time. While Alexander bestowed blessings upon Utaha and Setsuna, Kurumi sent several of her clones to gather the rest. 

Soon enough, as Alexander finished blessing the two girls, he stood back, admiring his work. 

"Not bad, not bad. Even though they're starting at Level 1, the… uh… 'feel' is really good," he commented, half to himself. 

Utaha froze. What does our Level 1 status have to do with how our backs feel? she thought, blushing furiously. This Alexander really knows how to take advantage, even in moments like these! 

Before Utaha could voice her complaints, a teasing voice interrupted. 

"Oh? Looks like we arrived at just the right time," someone said. 

"Alexander, is this your method of making us stronger?" another voice chimed in. 

Turning around, Alexander saw several familiar figures entering the room. 

The Kocho Sisters, Akame, Rin, and even Artoria had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. 

As for Mikoto, well… she was still a serious middle school student attending class, so it would likely be a few days before she could join them. 

And Esdeath? She was busy leading her army on an expedition. Besides, her strength was already considerable, so there wasn't much urgency for her to level up. 

Alexander couldn't help but grin as he surveyed the group. 

"Alright, everyone," he announced. "Take off your tops. We're going to be a Family soon!" 

The room went silent. 

Of course, Alexander's intentions were innocent enough—showing their backs would allow him to bestow his blessings. Still, the way he phrased it made several girls glare at him. 

"You're unbelievable," one of them muttered. 

"Always looking for an excuse to take advantage," another added with a blank stare. 

Despite their complaints, the girls eventually complied, removing their tops and revealing their backs. One by one, they received Alexander's blessings, becoming adventurers and officially part of his Familia. 

Hestia, watching from the sidelines, wore an expression of envy, jealousy, and mild irritation. 

I've gone so long without a single Familia member, and now this guy just casually brings in a whole group? she thought bitterly. 

But the real shock came moments later. As each of Alexander's new Familia members received their blessings, their strength levels were revealed. 

Unlike other adventurers in the dungeon world, Alexander's Familia didn't need to perform extraordinary feats recognized by gods to level up. As long as their strength reached the required threshold, they could upgrade directly. 

For instance, the Kocho sisters were both Level 4, nearly Level 5. Akame's strength had already reached Level 5 and was on the verge of advancing to Level 6. 

"Impressive," Alexander murmured to himself as he assessed their statuses. "The Kocho sisters being Level 4, almost Level 5, is excellent. And Akame is nearing Level 6… that's even better." 

To put this into perspective: 

In the Orario Dungeon, Level 1 adventurers made up half of all adventurers. Level 2 adventurers were considered the backbone of Orario, while Level 3 adventurers could already act as captains in smaller familias. 

Level 4 adventurers were among the elite, while Level 5 adventurers were stars in their own right. There were fewer than a hundred Level 5 adventurers in the entire city of Orario. 

For comparison, the Loki Familia—one of the most powerful familias—only had three or four Level 5 adventurers at the beginning of the series. 

As for Level 7 adventurers? Only Ottar had reached that level in Orario, and he was a singular figure of legend. 

For the Kocho sisters—originating from the relatively low-level Demon Slayer universe—to reach the peak of Level 4 was already an incredible feat. If they awakened their Demon Slayer Mark, they might even break into Level 5. (Of course, Alexander could bypass the side effects of the Mark entirely.) 

Alexander's gaze swept across the room, taking in the collective strength of his newly formed Familia. It was almost absurd how powerful they had become. With this group, they could handle anything the Orario Dungeon threw at them!

(Author's note: I know some readers might feel I've set certain characters' power levels too high or too low. Please don't get caught up in this—it's not worth debating combat power across different works. The levels are just a general guide, and as they progress through the dungeon, they'll naturally grow stronger. So let's focus on the story rather than the stats!)
