"So two nice daggers is what you want, right?" said Tsubaki as she rested her hammer on her shoulder, a teasing grin stretching across her face.
"Yes… I'd like that very much," replied Damien with a small smile.
"All right then, give me a few days and they'll be ready," she said with her usual confidence.
"Nice! I'll catch you later then," Damien said, turning toward the door — but as he reached for the handle, it swung open on its own.
A group of adventurers stepped inside, the air around them heavy with power and confidence. Damien froze for a second — he recognized them instantly.
At the front was a small pallum with sharp blue eyes: Finn Deimne, captain of the Loki Familia's first squad. Behind him stood the elven mage Riveria, the dwarven tank Gareth, and the quiet blonde swordswoman Ais Wallenstein. And just behind her, the ever-lively Tiona and her twin sister Tione.
"Tsubaki! We're here!" Tiona called out cheerfully as she bounced into the room. But the moment her eyes landed on Damien, she stopped mid-step. Her mouth opened slightly, and she tilted her head, studying him up and down.
"Oh. My. GOD! He's sooo cute! Can we keep him?!"
"Tiona!" her sister snapped, smacking the back of her head with a sharp thwack. "Forgive my idiot sister — she doesn't mean any harm."
Damien chuckled softly. "I didn't think of it as harm at all. Honestly, I doubt anyone would be insulted by a compliment from someone as beautiful as her."
Tiona froze, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. "Wha— you— I— uh…"
Damien smiled faintly and tipped his head. "Now, if you'll excuse me." He slipped past them and exited the forge.
Tiona turned, eyes still on the door. "...I think I'm in love."
Tsubaki threw her head back, laughing loudly. "HAHAHA! Looks like you met Damien!"
"Damien?!" Tiona repeated dreamily. "That's his name? What a beautiful name…"
Tione sighed, rubbing her forehead. "You're hopeless."
Meanwhile, Gareth chuckled, glancing at Finn. "Looks like our lass has taken a liking to him, hahaha. So who's the kid?"
"Damien's the one who saved our little Welf from getting butchered in the dungeon," Tsubaki explained proudly.
"Oh? So he's a new recruit for the Hephaestus Familia then?" Gareth asked.
"Surprisingly, no," Tsubaki replied, crossing her arms. "He turned down Lady Hephaestus' offer. Said he wanted to make his decision during the Ganesha tournament."
Finn's brows lifted slightly. "Turning down Hephaestus herself? Now that's not something you see every day. I assume he has the talent to back that kind of confidence."
Tsubaki smirked. "Oh, he's special all right."
Riveria raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly makes him so 'special'?"
"Well," said Tsubaki, leaning forward slightly with that mischievous glint in her eye, "he took down a trio in the dungeon — two level ones and one level two."
"Hmm," Gareth nodded. "A level two on at his age? That's impressive, aye."
But Finn's sharp eyes stayed on Tsubaki. "but....That's still not enough to get YOUR attention… or Hephaestus'. There's something more, isn't there?"
Tsubaki grinned wide. "Promise me Loki won't start chasing him if I tell you."
Riveria narrowed her eyes. "You think Loki would chase him? That's quite a bold assumption."
The forge went silent for a moment — until Tsubaki finally spoke, her tone calm but weighty.
"Oh, she will. Who wouldn't chase after a kid who killed a level two... without a falna, without a familia, and on his first day ever inside the dungeon?"
The sound of metal tools clattering to the floor broke the silence.Even for Loki's elite, that was almost impossible to believe.
.....
Orario was buzzing.Every corner, every tavern, every guild post whispered about the same thing — the new Falna-less legend.
A nameless adventurer who had defeated a Level 2 Evilus member without a god's blessing.It sounded impossible… and that's exactly why every god wanted him.
The Guild, however, refused to release his name publicly — "for safety and rights," they said.But of course, when it came to the great familias, secrets didn't stay hidden for long.
...
In her grand, dimly lit throne room, Freya sat elegantly, legs crossed, her gaze sweeping over her gathered children. The silver-haired goddess of beauty radiated divine allure, her presence enough to make hearts stutter.
"Nóga…" she purred, her voice dripping with irresistible charm, "my dear… do you want to be special?"
"Yes, my Goddess…" replied Nóga, a towering, muscular man who had recently joined her Familia a prospect warrior hoping to one day stand among her chosen elites.
"Then show it," Freya said, her eyes half-lidded, her tone both sultry and commanding. "Defeat this Damien Ardent in the upcoming Ganesha Tournament. Show me if this mortal's strength is as divine as they say… Only then will I allow him the honor of joining us."
Nóga slammed a fist to his chest and bowed deeply. "It shall be done, my Goddess! I will win the tournament in your name!"
Freya smiled faintly...
...
Elsewhere, in a chamber heavy with perfume and sin, Ishtar lounged on her velvet bed.Four men lay unconscious beside her, drained and motionless after a night of indulgence.Two girls knelt at her sides, massaging her back and shoulders as the goddess moaned lazily in pleasure.
"Samira…" she said between soft breaths, her eyes glinting like hot coals.
"Yes, Lady Ishtar?" the soldier replied, kneeling respectfully.
"I want this Damien," Ishtar whispered, licking her lips. "Do something about it."
"I heard he will be participating in the Ganesha Tournament," Samira said cautiously. "Should we attempt to scout him?"
"You stupid girl," Ishtar snapped, sitting up abruptly. "I am Ishtar! the most beautiful, most revered, and most desirable goddess in all the realms! And yet that smug witch Freya is still considered above me!"
She clenched her hand, fury flashing across her face. "That foolish boy might fall into her grasp… I won't allow it. Do whatever it takes — seduce him, trick him, kidnap him if you must! I don't care!"
Her lips curled into a wicked grin as one of the girls massaging her pressed just right."Mmm… one night with me," she whispered, eyes half-closed in delight, "and that boy will become my toy."
...
Meanwhile… somewhere on the streets of Orario, a small goddess sat on the curb
"Ughhh! Why is everyone refusing to join my Familia!" She shouted, stomping her foot as her stomach growled.
She slumped against a wall, groaning. "What's a poor goddess gotta do to get one adventurer?!"
