On the way back to the Familia's home base with Hestia, Levi consumed Valis to raise all his ability scores to S999.
Therefore, there wasn't a situation where any stat was left just short of the mark.
While Hestia was examining his Falna's information, he focused his thoughts and opened the newly unlocked Dimensional Gacha Pool panel.

"..."
Although he had expected it, Levi couldn't help but purse his lips after seeing the actual state of the Dimensional Gacha Pool.
He was reminded of the various anime-style gacha games he played in his past life, and his own abysmal gacha luck that was so bad it could make men fall silent and women weep.
'No, no, no, think on the bright side. At least my system doesn't imitate the game interfaces of certain big companies, where you need to combine shards for skills and shards for items. Now that would be true despair.'
Levi tried to find joy in his suffering, comforting himself.
At this moment, Hestia, having recovered from her initial shock, finished transcribing the Falna.
"Levi, here."
Getting up from her Familia member's back, she said as she handed over the parchment.
Levi stood up and took it, giving it a quick scan.
He hadn't originally intended to look at it closely, since the information from the Falna definitely wouldn't be as detailed as his own panel's records.
However...
Skipping past the identical level, ability scores, development abilities, and magic, he looked at the skill section. To be precise, directly below [Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū: Master's License], unlike on his personal panel, another line of text was now inscribed.
[Identity Unknown]
Seeing her first Familia member's previously frivolous demeanor change to a thoughtful expression, Hestia couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "So, do you know what this ability of yours is?"
"I do."
Levi nodded, not denying it—as his strength grew rapidly in the future, many things would be impossible to hide anyway.
"I can directly consume Valis to enhance my ability scores, or master new skills, or even create items out of thin air."
"Huh?"
Even for a goddess who had existed for over ten million years, at this moment, she couldn't help but wear an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
But in the next second, she watched as Levi took a 100-Valis coin from his pocket—actually his item inventory—and made it vanish like smoke. Then, at his urging, she performed another status update and discovered that her Familia member's Strength stat had inexplicably gone from I0 to I1.
Hestia fell completely silent.
She was no fool. Or rather, in the world of DanMachi, the gods, having existed for so long, simply didn't have any foolish individuals among them, unless it was related to their divine domain.
And because of this, Hestia almost instantly understood the real reason why he had come to Orario long ago but had never chosen to join a Familia.
After a moment of silence, she asked in a slightly strained voice, "So, before you accepted my invitation and received the Falna, your abilities had already reached..."
Levi smiled calmly and finished Hestia's sentence, "The equivalent of a maxed-out Lv.1, which is S999."
Hearing this, Hestia suddenly didn't know what kind of expression to make.
She had originally thought she was just lucky, snagging a four-star SR card before the other gods who descended to the lower world could react.
But now Levi was telling her: No! What you actually pulled is a six-star UR card, the only one of its kind on the entire server!
"Hah—"
Hestia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
Suppressing the strange emotions in her heart, she took the parchment from his hands and lit it on the flame of a nearby candle.
Only after it had turned completely to ash did she look at Levi with a serious expression:
"I've locked your skill. Also, although I don't think you'd do anything foolish, I still have to remind you: never, ever reveal the information about your Falna to anyone."
"Mm, I understand." Levi nodded, then his expression reverted to a slightly frivolous one. "After all, my body is only for the one I love to see."
Hearing this line, which could be either a confession or sexual harassment, Hestia's cheeks flushed red, and she flailed her hands, swatting at him. "Whaaa~~~ I told you not to tease me!"
...
As a Familia's patron deity, Hestia was undoubtedly qualified, even excellent.
After learning that her only current Familia member's growth required a large amount of Valis, she didn't suggest going out for a meal to celebrate the Familia's founding. Instead, she took out all the Valis she had worked hard to earn these past few days, telling Levi he could use it as he pleased.
If not for the fear of revealing Levi's true information through her words, she was even planning to borrow a large sum of money from her god friend Hephaestus at high interest.
Levi appreciated his goddess's kindness in his heart but chose not to accept it.
It wasn't because of some macho pride, but because the money Hestia earned from her part-time jobs was hard-earned. If he went into the Dungeon, even just wandering around the first and second floors, he could easily make in a single day what she earned in several days.
In a way, becoming an adventurer already meant a certain degree of financial freedom.
That being said, after completing the Falna inscription, Levi still went to a nearby market and spent 2000 Valis to cook a very sumptuous dinner for himself and Hestia—he had been an orphan in both his past and present lives, and to save money, he had naturally developed excellent cooking skills.
After a satisfying meal, the two walked to their respective bedroom doors.
Hestia seemed to remember something and said with a slight blush, "Levi, although we're family now, you can't do... that... without my permission."
Levi pretended not to understand and asked, "That is which that?"
"You know... that..." Hestia subconsciously started to explain, but quickly realized Levi was teasing her again. Her cheeks puffed out, and after leaving him with a "You pervy brat, Levi!" she slammed her door shut.
Seeing his goddess storm off in a fluster, Levi shrugged and also opened the door to his bedroom.
However, he didn't immediately lie down on the bed to rest. Instead, he began his daily training to control his own magic power.
