A/N: I'm stopping of adding POV's, just the name and it's enough. And about the dialogue, only those still mystery are in ???.

After Zeus explaining things about Andrew being an avatar and me as his system, I have guessed that there are some flaws in my request.
One, Once I become a "system" I can't give any clear explanation about the god's existence and our encounters while in the pioneering place on Andrew.
Second, Even though I could have all the knowledge to help me guiding Andrew in that world, I can't interfere when his life was on verge of danger and rather needed a permission to do so from the Valhalla Court of Gods.
Third, there is no privacy on my thoughts from gods, meaning what I think will be known, the same applies to Andrew's thoughts to me.
Fourth, I needed to give the main mission to him, whether I like it or not.
*Sigh*
Anyways, Zeus and the two other gods stands up off their chairs and walks to me.
"Now that you already know the 'terms and policies', you ready to know who will be your god?" asked Zeus.
"Well, that's the main reason why I've been called isn't it?" my tone looked like joking but my face are serious and some nervousness are present in it. Zeus chucked hearing this and ordered me to stand near him, I looked puzzled for a second before doing what he said.
"Don't be surprised when you see him or her or them, alright?"
"I'll do my best."
He nodded before he started chanting some words I barely know, but I guess it's Greek. Hovering his hands abovr my head, he stopped when my whole body were overshadowed by his large hand in the light from above. Stiffly, I stand still to not mess up everything.
After his chant, an orb full of myriad of colors appeared and shined brightly above my head, blooming with different torrents of hues of majestic colors to see. I looked surprised for a second before calming my appearance waiting for it to show.
Slowly, the orb started to change it's size, shape and color changing itself to a sculpted image of a man with long braided hair in several parts, his long and packed beared full of long hair are braided too, the face slightly resembled an gruff short man in his fifties, and the most recognisable characteristics of his were the large scars covering his eyesockets, the lids were closed as if there is no slits, his face wears a calm expression but otherwise you could see him as a grumpy old man.
Odin and Yahweh looked at the image with an understanding glint on their eyes, Zeus laughed loudly startling me.
"A ha ha ha, seems like that old bat of a flat ironhead finally got an avatar! plus with you intelligent, there's a chance he could get in the leaderboard. Aphrodite should be happy too at her husband's achievement at this time." Zeus stated making imaginary dots appeared above my head, later it clicked into me.
Hephaestus!
Aphrodite, the greek Goddess of love and fertility have only one husband, and many lovers.
Her husband was the blind god with excelled works of creation with the help of metals and his trusty forge, Hephaestus!
A screen appeared next to me, it's contents were surprisingly understandable.
{You are Chosen as the avatar of the God of Forging, Hephaestus}
Okay...
After the magically undermining the god that choosed me, all of us were brought upon a very large field, and when I say large, it IS large. Tons of machineries, technologies, and even robots are lying lifelessly in everywhere, it makes me dizzy for a bit.
Technologies? Really? I feel like I see some cars too... maybe it's a Volvo? Even a gigantic tablet... what the hell is happening?! there's even an android here!
Exasperated, I sighed while following the gods and keep8ng myself not to get lost.
After a few minutes of silent walk, we finally reached a gateway.
given that Hephaestus was an ancient greek, the doorgates are hundred percent accurately old fashioned. Woods in vertical lines sticked up together with tightness and some iron covering the edges and the middle of the door of 15 meter height, in the middle left edge I saw a large ashen colored ring which I supposedly think as the door knob.
Now that I remember...
"Hey, uhm..." I trailed off while pointing out in my mind the robed god of Greece in his... name. I felt contradicted in calling his natural name or adding some majestical affixes which made the hell out of me cringing.
Zeus, ofcourse know this and just smiled at me.
"Just call me at my name, I don't know about the two." he answered turning his head to me before to the other gods.
"Likewise, I felt disgusted at honorifics." Odin spat out with cringed expression while Yahweh snorted.
"No way in hell I'll let you call me on my name, brat."
Uh... you're the brat here white creep.
Understanding that hell the other gods knows what I'm thinking, I expected him glaring to me with sour expression and hey! I successfully predicted it!
Zeus chuckled a bit before clearing his throat.
"Now that we are here, I would like to say to you that whatever does Hephaestus want you to do or what he wants you to do, we don't know even a little bit. He may be a bit of grumpy but I swear he's pretty kind, just don't mess with his tools or you'll get thrown in the furnace as an ingredient in creating a celestial weapon or just a rekindler in his hearth."
I nodded stiffly, it's like the guy is really a volatile one.
"Now, of to go. I'm going to knock the butt out of this twerp."
"Wai-"
I was cutted off when Zeus jumped so high with unimaginable speed reaching the front of the door with a loud thud, Yahweh and Odin both facepalmed at this making me felt a so-unlikely premonition.
"HEY OLD FASHIONED ASSHOLE, LET ME IN YOU SENILE IRONIC BITCH! YOUR AVATAR WAS HERE, GET YOUR ASS UP IN THAT SHITTY SEAT OF YOURS AND OPEN THE DOOR!"
And at that, I knew that Zeus fucked it up...
