After calming down via meditating I went to sleep.
[Meditating has reached level 2]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In the morning the inn lady asked me if I was going to the monsterphilia, I asked her wtf was that and she said hat is some sort of spectacle organized by the Ganesha Familia in the coliseum.
I went outside only to be greeted by massive amount of people heading in the direction of the coliseum.
Apparently, everyone was there so I couldn't go to Hephaestus's shop and steal- I mean copy my new sword.
I kept walking around and buying different snacks along the way until I reached the coliseum.
"kinda big, my tower was bigger tho, now that I think about it, I've never been to a carnival like this, always busy trying to keep myself alive" I say as I look at the metallic doors of the coliseum.
In front of the doors there was a petite black-haired girl with big breasts that was talking to a white-hired kid, now that I look at him it was the same that was gawking at everyone's equipment yesterday.
Now that I think of it, he is kind of recognizable, being one of the only people I've seen with white hair. This world has some crazy genetics, there's people with all kinds of colored hair, not that mine is 'normal' now but in my old world it was just black, brown, blonde, and the occasional redhead
*CRAHSSS! *
While I was thinking about colored-hair a loud crash sounded in vicinity, I look at the side and there's people running from some monsters and adventurers killing some.
I even spot Ais 'protecting' her god by cutting a small orc in half.
*creak* *ting* *ting* * CLANG*
at that moment I hear the sound of metal creaking, metal bolts hitting the ground and finally a loud sound of metal breaking.
A massive silverback gorilla emerges from the broken hinges of the metal gate, roaring furiously
*ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAR*
People and low-level adventurers star running the opposite direction, I look at Ais in the distance and copy her sword
"[splitting]"
[6/14 Bent remaining]
'I need to do something about the bent income' I look at the silverback but it seems that I am not his target, instead he looks at the white-haired guy from earlier, only for him to grab the woman and start running while the silverback runs after him.
And I'm left dumbfounded 'here I was thinking of having an epic fight *sigh*'
Ais comes and looks at my sword with a slightly annoyed face.
"Sorry ais I didn't have a weapon and you were the first I saw, I'll ask you next time" I say with an apologetic tone, I mean I would be angry if some dude just copied my 90 million valis sword with zero effort.
"it's fine, just until you get your own sword" she says with an understanding face.
[talking to girls has reached level2]
'oh, I forgot that ais is a girl too, I can train almost all my skills by sparing with her'
"So, you going to go help that kid?" I say pointing in the direction the kid went.
"Yes, his name is bell" she responds with an expressionless face.
"So, bell, is he your friend?" I say while looking into her eyes, she thinks about what to respond.
"Yes, he is my friend" in that she steps to the side dodging Loki that had jumped towards her.
[talking to girls has reached level 3]
"Tsk, ais don't run off like that" Loki says while her hand drew near ais backside only to get slapped by her.
I totally ignore the god's antics and say to Ais "let's go then I want to fight that thing" to which she nods and runs off.
We follow the destruction made by the monster until we reach the scene of 'bell' hugging the black-haired girl from earlier that seemed like she passed out.
"Everything is done here" ais says as she turns around to leave.
"Yeah, kinda anticlimactic if you ask me" I respond.
Then Loki comes breathing heavily " ais..*puff* stop running*puff* I can't catch you ass-*Slap*" she says while doing grabbing motions with her hands only to get slapped again.
'Tired gods? I thought that they were powerful, now that I think of it that girl seemed like a god and passed out too...' I guess they must suppress their powers or something.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I kept talking to ais and she even told me how she meet Bell, and how he was running covered in blood.
'that's why there was so much blood that day' and Ella would probably like that bloodbath.
We had another spar in the Loki Familia training grounds which I obviously won, and the new [sword circulation] is much better than I thought helping me train [swordsmanship] and [Beli ma] at the same time.
I was able to take her blows without feeling numb but she still overpowers me in terms of muscle strength.
And she is getting good too sometimes seeing through my feints and surprise attacks.
We kept sparing for an hour because I don't want to lose too much bent duping her sword.
She thanked me for the spar an I went to the inn, not before eating at the hostess of fertility, and went to sleep after a session of meditating.
[Beli ma has reached level 4!
+1Sta]
[Meditation has reached level 3!]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The next day I was off to the dungeon again.
"i need to get stronger" I say clenching my hands, I need another break and put as much warp as I can to [chained spirit].
No... I can't use it until I get 'stronger' so I need to train first.
Nearing the dungeon, I go to the Hephaestus Familia shop to dupe the sword and buy a normal steel sword.
I go to the room with the sword and look around first, ensuring there is no one near I enter the room, going to the sword in the wall.
Looking at it I can't help but take it instead of duping it as I feel it'll be stronger than the copy.
Reaching for the sword I wrap my hand around the handle I feel the same connection as my copies but this one is permanent and stronger.
A smile crawls up my face 'with this I can get stronger faster'.
Just as I was about to lift the sword the door opens and the black-haired god from yesterday comes in and catches me Red-handed.
"WHAT ARE-" with a quick movement I go behind her shut her mouth with my hand and close the door.
"mmhhhmm" I look at her and her eyes have fear, confusion and looks like they have tears in the corners.
'What?' I took a moment to comprehend the scene and it looks like a kidnap-rape kind of scene as the only light was coming from the corners of the door.
'Now that I think about it, I have some minor night vision'
"Hey can you... not scream when I let you go? I can explain" I say and she nods with suspicion.
I let her go and she glares at me dead serious.
"hump, to think that such a brute ever existed to try and rape a goddess" and she looks at me like I'm trash.
"w-wait, I didn't want to rape you it was just that you were going to scream and I can't get caught" I say
"Then you are the bravest man I've seen to try and rob from the Hephaestus Familia"
"No, you got it wrong, the sword is calling me and-" then she cuts me off
"Ho? Then the sword made you touch it; I think you know what happens when you touch something" she looks at me with a smug smile.
"I'm going to have to tell Hephaestus about this" she says turning to the door.
"NO, don't tell her, no one can pay such an exorbitant amount of money, I'll probably be paying the debt for years" I say with a 'pleading' look.
"Then what should we do about this" she says while tilting her head to the side.
"No way, you are really going to blackmail me? Then what do you want to make you keep this a secret" I say looking at her with dead eyes.
"Oh nothing, just some... 10 million valis" she says extending her hand and says it like it nothing.
"I don't have that much money! look I can make it in two or three weeks, just keep the secret" I say
"And how should I trust you, a criminal" pointing at me then at the sword in the wall.
"I... don't know" while looking at the floor with a 'helpless' expression.
'Damm my acting is so good I almost believed myself'
"Then you are going to join MY Familia until you pay and then I can let you off" she says with pride in the 'Familia' part.
'I mean it's a nice Familia just 2 members and no one too problematic, the goddess itself its childish a naïve, perfect to manipulate'
"Okay ill join your Familia for the time being" I say looking back at her.
"then turn around and show me your back" she says while taking out a little box from who know where.
I do a she says, she pinches her finger and lets a drop of her blood fall on my back.
The room lights up with some magical light and I hear the system
[Warning!
An unknown force is trying to have access to user's soul
Allow it?
Y/N]
It seems that there are no downsides to the 'god's blessing' so...
'yes'
[the system is integrating the 'Falna system' to itself
…
…
Success!
…
While 'Falna' is useless to the user, 'Excelsia' will be converted into warp.
…
Notice!
Due to the 'magical' properties of 'Excelsia', not following any of the known laws of physics, the user should expect more 'magical' and nonsensical abilities and mutations.]
[you have manifested God's Blessing.
God's Blessing has reached level 1!
Level 1: God's Blessing is given to mortals by gods to help mortals break the limits of their mortal body. Mortals!
Puts stability at 20 and caps it until the skill is leveled up.
though, the user can break through this with warp or other skills]
[+5 Sta]
While I was looking at the system, she put a paper on my back and started copying my 'status' on it.
"Here is your status, and you better pay you debt if you don't want to be stuck as a level one for-e-ver" she says looking at me in the eyes.
"Yeah, I'll pay it, but you need to let me copy the sword, should be easy right? You work here after all." I say while pointing at the sword behind me.
"Yeah, I can do that as long as you don't touch it is fine, right?" and here I thought that gods were benevolent.
"Well then do your thing and get out of here before Hephaestus catches us" she takes my hand and pulls me outside.
'You are making it look like we are partners in crime!!'
I look back at the sword and copy it before heading to the elevator
[splitting]
[6/20 bent remaining]
I take this time to look at the 'Falna system' status
