I then get "Well then, I guess i am going to the guild to register as an adventurer officially. "I am off to the guild goddess, I will be back in the afternoon." I start walking towards the exit."And I am not going to the dungeon; I'm going to register as an adventurer."
"Hello there, Miss Eina, I finally found a goddess who would take me in," I say as I walk closer to her.
She looks a little surprised. " Oh, I thought you were rejected by multiple gods/goddesses by now. Well, now you can complete the files."
I then give her the file filled with my information on my familia. She then gives me a new file to sign.' I am surprised that I haven't come into contact with myself, well lucky me, I guess.
"Yo eina, does the guild provide us with armor and weapons for going into the dungeon?" I ask while i sigh the file
"No, this should be handled by the adventurer and their familia," she said. "Well, i guess I've gotta back up," I thought as I started to walk out. I then made a clone to go to the market to buy some ingredients to celebrate with the goddess. I need some shrimp, mussels, baby clams, crab, a good white wine, lots of garlic, tomatoes, and an exquisite saffron seafood stock. While I go home i ask Great-sage [ how long will it take to create and process magisteel, mithril, adamantite and holy steel] [Notice it would take at the very least one or two weeks]
'I guess i will use magic and my fist. ' I then felt something enter my stomach, so i put my hand i my stomach as i take out a bag, can't wait to start dinner with the goddess.
"Oooph." As I walked to the church, I felt something hit me unexpectedly. "Bell, how did it go?" she asked as I picked her up. "It went well, but some things caught me off guard. I always assumed the guild would provide adventurers with basic equipment, but not. Honestly, I feel like I'm risking my life, and the least they could do is give me some basic gear.
"So, what do you have there? Are you planning to make something?" she asked. "Yep, I'm going to make my special seafood risotto. I promise, it's the best thing you've ever tasted."
"Are you sure about that? You don't exactly look like someone who knows their way around a kitchen. ಠಿ_ಠ More like someone who might accidentally set the place on fire." I smile at that, "Just watch me cook the finest dish in the world."
I say as i start walking to the hidden passage underneath the church," And how are you going to cook we don't have a stove," she asks skeptically. " With my skill, of course. " crackle pop, I say as i ignite a flame on my fingertip.
"Look at this, such a beautiful flame, this is a manifestation of my love for you, the only god/goddess to take in this bum of a man in and for this i would stay by your side even if it kills me to this i swear on this very flame even if i were to die my soul would stile come back to you no mater how many times i reincarnate i would find you. I will be with you in thick and thin, and not even death will do us apart." As i say this, i move my face closer to Hestia as i see her blush, then i feel the flame start to grow and engulf both of us in brilliant multicolored flames.
[Notice, host, it seems like the skill you gained from the falna is growing at an unexpected rate. Truly, this world's power system is quite unpredictable, although the flames have non reached a conceptual level yet according to my calculation, it would get there in at the very least 6 to 5 years, and the abilities of the flame include its stronger fire power, ambient flame manipulation, flames of purification, Chilling Bone Flame, Blue Lotus Geocentric Flame.]
"Bell, what was that?" she asks with a blush on her face. "I think it was the effect of my skill, I think it got stronger with the proclamation i made." at that, she blushes even harder as she hugs me like a koala, she is so cute.
As i walk into the living room, i pick up a pan and start a fire, then I start by heating my saffron seafood stock in a saucepan over low heat. It's crucial to keep it warm so the risotto cooks evenly.
And in a large skillet, I heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. I toss in the shrimp first—just until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. I set them aside. Then, I add the mussels and clams to the skillet, covering it for a few minutes until they start to open up. I remove the seafood once it's all cooked through and discard any unopened shells. The crab meat goes in last, just to warm up, then I set everything aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, I add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and a knob of butter. I let the butter melt, then toss in the garlic and onion. I sauté them until they're fragrant and soft—about 3-4 minutes—before adding the diced tomato. The tomato softens and releases all its juices, so I let it cook down for a couple of minutes.
Now, I add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast it lightly in the garlic, onion, and tomato mixture for about 2 minutes. It's important to stir it around so the rice absorbs all the flavors. Once it's nicely coated, I pour in the white wine and stir until it's almost fully absorbed by the rice.
I start ladling in the warm saffron seafood stock, one cup at a time. I stir constantly, letting the rice absorb the stock before adding the next cup. This part usually takes about 20 minutes, but I stay patient and keep stirring, letting the rice cook and become creamy.
I then serve it on a plate." So i was thinking of going to the dungeon tomorrow." I said before we started eating,
" No, you are unprepared, you don't have a weapon or armor, and do you even know how to fight? We could be a familia focused on something other than the dungeon. I don't want my only familia to die in the dungeon," she says while looking at me with a serious look.
I looked a little surprised," I know how to fight and even use magic, plus i could use the flames to create a shield or armor. And i promise that i won't go beyond level 6 of the dungeon, and i thought the falna allowed the gods to see our experiences, so i thought you saw my life before i had the falna.
"No, we can only see your experiences after we become familia," she says, while twirling her hair.
I then use magic to let us float in the air and vibrate the air around us to create music. Let's play the Moonlight Sonata.
" Wait, where did you learn magic, and why does it not show in the falna?" she asks with a suspicious look as she covers her she with her hand. "You're not part of an evil organization that wants to destroy the gods, are you?"
"No, I've been able to use magic since I was a kid, I say as I open my eyes. I didn't let it show on my falna, which is impossible because, whenever I break a record, some being will try to look at my status to see what's happening. If you want, I can show you the things that the falna isn't revealing."
'I mean, the Loki familia show bell status, and some people can read the status of others, and Istar tried to force bell status to show, and nothing is stopping that from happening again,' I thought as i let Hestia down.
I then produce a paper with my three skills written on it, " Here you go, goddess," i say as i give it to her.
"Gimmi, Hmmm {great-sage the ruler of wisdom}, { gluttony the eater of world}, {All-Seeing Eyes Of God seer of truth}" She then proceeded to throw the paper away." The hell are these skills? Although they don't boost any basic abilities except magic/mind and its recovery with these skills, you would never run out of mind. You are the perfect adventurer, and this gluttony is a skill that lets you get the powers and characteristics of whatever you eat. Is that why you chose me so that you could eat me and become a god, and if you can control the falna in such what is to say you can't evade our divine sense?" she screams at me while i put an isolation barrier around us.
" I never thought of eating a god, now that is a good idea. And i could probably evade your sense, but i would have to analyze a divine being and see how your body and arcenum fantion, which is impossible without notifying you gods of what is happening, and i don't want no smoke. The skill is still not strong enough yet."
So I can't lie to you. Emph, this is quite good, of course it was made by me," I say as I sit down and start eating. I can't manipulate much; I just hide part of my soul so that the falna can't read it. Other than that, my status remains unaffected," I tell her as I gesture for her to sit beside me. 'This feels awkward, what should I do?' I wonder, then pick her up and place her on my lap.
" I would be taking your words with a grain of salt." I guess even gods are afraid of the unknown. I thought this was going to be like does fanfic where the mc and Hestia fall in love at first sight, haaa.
" I get where you are coming from, and i promise i won't break your trust," i say with a smile as i place my head on hers and take a quick kiss.
"Hey," she says with a blush, thank you bell for having such a cute face. hisë-hirë i then create a Blue Lotus Geocentric Flame, " Look." I say as i gave the flames to Hestia." This flame is a representation of my love for you. This might seem weird to you, but that's just who i am." As we then started to eat in silence.
A few minutes later
" So, would we be sleeping separately or not?" I asked " separately," she says without hesitation. Guess I'm sleeping on the chair tonight, i thought as i looked at the full moon.
"Well, gotta go to bed early, a long day awaits me tomorrow.
Today has been a crazy day as I found out my first familia member was hiding his skill and magic from me, although i understand where he is coming from not all gods view their children in a positive/favorable manner.
But what scares me is his ability to interfere with the falna; the implication of such an ability is dangerous, not even the ancient hero had such an ability.
And the thing that bothers me is that he is a human; there are no signs of him using some forbidden magic to gain such power.
A human with the potential to reach godhood, We the gods came to the world of our children to experience their lives and have fun, and maybe see the rise of a new hero for mankind, but not this.
I thought as i looked at the sleeping bell with a bit of worry on my face.
I then pick up the lotus flame thing, " A sign of my love." ugggg
What am i suppose to do at this point? I am going to lose my hair at this point.
I'm gonna put my trust in him until he proves me otherwise, yawn, gotta work tomorrow. I thought as i walked to my bed.
[Notice it is 7 p.m. time to get up, master]
"Good morning, goddess, did you have a wonderful dream?" I ask the goddess lying on top of me.
"How did you get into my bed and why am i lying on top of you?" she says with a bit of panic in her voice. "The chair was a bit uncomfortable, so i decided to sleep on the bed with you." I say to her as i get up and ready myself.
"You didn't do anything to me while i was asleep." she said while holding herself.
"I would never, I am a gentle man who was raised by two women," I said while using magic to clean myself.
"Can't wait until i make you some breakfast," i then look at her a bit weirdly, " No, i could eat sand, air, or anything else and still be fine, so don't worry about it."I say as i go out.
I ascend the steps to the ground floor of the church, leaving the dilapidated outskirts of Orario behind and heading toward the main streets. Along the way, I pass various stalls with people bustling back and forth around different products. As I get closer to the dungeon, I notice an increasing number of shops and facilities, all featuring European architectural styles.
Swish [Notice sensing someone looking at the host soul] ' Oh fucking great,' i thought as i looked around with my senses.
"Hello there, Mr. Adventure i think you dropped this yesterday." said a girl in a green one-piece and a white apron, with grey hair and grey eyes.
" Yeah, no that's not mine, I just became an adventurer a few days ago," i say as i try to get away from her. You sure? Yesterday i saw someone who looked like you come out of the dungeon a bit bloodied.
'Yo, great-sage, did the clone pop itself yesterday?' No, after placing the ingredients into the 'stomach,' I took control of its body, altered the mana signature and appearance to directly analyze the dungeon for potential skills. However, the dungeon sent some monsters to attack the clone, so I escaped with the clone while changing it back.
"Sorry, I think you've got the wrong person," I say as I start to walk away. "But thanks anyway."
She reaches out, stopping me. "It's still pretty early—are you sure you've eaten this morning?" I take a deep breath as i stop walking, as i look at her with a rise." And why is that your business? If you will excuse me, i have a place to be." I then walk away without looking back. 'Fuck, I didn't think this through. If I ruin my relations with her, how am i going to get close to Ryuu? I grab at my hair.
As i go into Babel, I walk down a flight of stairs going down. As i go down the stairs, the environment starts to change to resemble that of a cave.
"ccaakkk. " Two goblins pop out of the wall, I then use fire magic to roast them alive as i prepare to eat them, swish, i then absorb them with gluttony.[Notice host has absorbed two goblins. Initiating the absorption process of the goblin's skills: goblin claws, night vision, and magic/mana core.
"Hold on, what is a magic or mana core? It's essentially the source of life and power for the monster. Now, you've got an additional energy source. With some modifications, this core can absorb mana from both the atmosphere and your body, then purify it using your purification flames. As the process continues, the mana gets condensed, ultimately becoming an extremely pure and highly concentrated form."] says greatsage while i move to the 5th floor.
As I move, I use wind magic to kill and butcher the monsters to get their magic stone.
mowwwww, ogwwww . I see two minotaurs
I adopt a martial arts stance that blends techniques from all the styles I've learned, including elements from sword martial arts.
As the first one approached me, I enhanced my body with mana as I kicked its left thigh, as i used the right thigh as a lever to jump, and i knee it in it face, then i jumped up again while staying perpendicular to the ground as i concentrat all my mana into one spot as i release it " zetten"
As i complete the technique, the other minotaur attacks me with an axe. I use wind-creating magic to create binding wind, but i then fell someone try to attack the minotaur, i then move the monster, but the attack moves as the wind she cuts the monster into multiple pieces.
Then i saw her a dazzlingly beautiful woman.her slim soft body, her chest was abnormally filled . Wearing an emblem on her silver breastplate, and the same colored gloves and accessories also bore an emblem. Blood was trickling down from the tip of her sword that was pointing to the ground.
Her blond hair extended straight down to her shoulders, it held a shine that
would not lose to a large amount of golden treasures.
On top of having a body that other females would be jealous of, she had a
very cute baby face that everyone would like.
The color of her eyes , that looked at me, was also gold .
'Now i get why the original bell fell for her.' I thought as we both stared at each other. She then tilted her head ' cute'. "Thank you, sword princess, but i have to go" i said before she could reply. As i walk away from her, i then decided to use lighting to enhance my speed as i move straight to the abandoned church.
