"Is it just me or is this place a snow storm magnet? " a young looking Roxanne asked as she used her powers to create a barrier to stop the snow from hitting her face.
"Bahaha well this is the beauty of the Norse pantheon. When you are a bit far away from any city all you could see is a snow storm. " Odin laughed as he explained to Roxanne. Although there is no storm in Asgard due to the magic barrier that is placed most of the nine realms are filled with snowy storms.
" You know it's still not too late to use a teleport circle "Hela said as she looked at Roxanne. Although she was used to this weather she didn't really like to walk for days in this climate. So everytime she wants to go somewhere she always uses a teleportation circle.
But due to Roxanne's insistence of wanting to go on an adventure both Odin and Hela had to reluctantly give in.
Although the option of letting Roxanne come to Asgard on her own was considered, both Odin and Hela quickly realized that it would be a bad idea. From the few hours they had spent with her, it became abundantly clear that Roxanne was a magnet for trouble—far worse than her mother ever was. Letting her navigate the realms alone would almost certainly result in chaos that even the gods might struggle to contain.
Hell they wouldn't even be surprised if she went to war with the ice giants and became their new ruler or she fought Thor while swinging his own hammer at him. That's how much of a trouble magnet Roxanne is.
So despite the inconvenience Hela and Odin accompanied her. Although they like to bring a small change into their lives none of them liked to have their lives turned upside down.
"No way that would take the fun out of this journey. Only by experiencing the thrill of adventure can you deepen your understanding of the world, " Roxanne said seriously. Even in her previous life she had this hobby of travelling around the world.
And besides, one of the reasons she has a creative mind is because she has seen many places and has experienced many things. There is a reason why Otakus are stronger when they reincarnate is because they have seen and read many mangas and light novels with extraordinary things.
' And besides since I'm in a new fantasy world how can I not enjoy this world to the fullest before shit hits the fan. ' Roxanne thought as she remembered the future battles that would happen in the near future.
When that happens there would not be anything left for her to enjoy. So Roxanne decided to see the world before the plot started.
" It would take at least three days to go to Asgard. And that's if we take the shortest root possible without stopping at any city " Odin said as he tried to convince Roxanne for the last time.
" That's even better. I never got the experience of camping outside when there is a snow storm. " Roxanne said cheerfully.
'*Sigh* I give up,' Odin thought inwardly, resigning himself to his miserable fate. At his age, he should be at home, reading his hidden stash of magazines or sneaking glances at the busty Valkyries—not running around everywhere like he did in his younger days. The thought of having to deal with Roxanne's antics was exhausting, but as the Allfather, there was no escape from his responsibilities, no matter how much he longed for a simpler, more leisurely life.
And for the next five days the trio wandered around the cold woods. Despite Odin's and Hela's cautiousness they underestimated Roxanne's knack for finding trouble.
On their way they found a conspiracy of the Ice giants who were trying to spread chaos in the Norse so Asgard would have to spread their forces to stop the ongoing commotion. And when they are at their weakest the Ice giants would strike and deal a hard blow to Asgard.
Due to this, the trio had to spend an extra day and a half dismantling the Ice Giants' secret bases. It wasn't as if they could simply walk away and turn a blind eye.
" *whistle* you got a nice place there " Roxanne said as she marveled at Asgard.
" I know right. I was even thinking of turning this place into a tourist attraction but my idea got turned down " Odin said with a sad tone.
" That's because you were including places like the Valkyries bath house , the royal bath house and such. And besides you even said that those girls would have to wear short skirts to attract more customers. " Hela rebuked him.
" Wow, gramps how the mighty have fallen, " Roxanne said sarcastically. Thankfully she was still a little girl and didn't hit puberty yet or else she would have no choice but to burn a poor beard to teach him a lesson.
" Why don't we go inside? I can hear a group of guys having a showdown nearby. Let's hurry since they must be almost over, " Odin quickly said as he tried to change the subject. He is really afraid this girl would actually burn his beard like his mother did if her disappointment reached a certain limit.
She was looking at his beard with a dangerous glint. So for the sake of his poor beard he would have to keep his mouth shut.

" Heave, heave, heave!" a row of Asgardians shouted in unison as they cheered one man.
The said man was trying his best to lift a hammer that is very eye-catching. He was all his strength but the hammer was not even moving an inch. "Arrrrrrggggg "the man screamed as his muscles bulged to its maximum.
After three minutes a bell rang and a beutiful referee said, "ok times over. Next person please ".
The man hearing those words stopped his actions. He then walked away with his eyes full of unwillingness. His friends comforted him by saying " come on you can always try next year. Lord's thor's hammer isn't going anywhere "
" Yeah, you are right. I will surely lift that hammer next year "the man said as he was full of fighting spirit.
While this was happening Roxanne and the others were watching the competition with various expressions. Odin was looking at the referee with a lecherous gaze. Hela had a bored expression. And roxanne was looking at the game with a serious look.
" Mind explaining to me what the hell is happening. " Roxanne asked as she looked at the competition with curiosity.
" Oh this is the annual 'who can lift Mjolnir challenge '. every year Thor let's the Asgardians try their luck to lift Mjolnir. If they are successful and earn Mjolnir's recognition then they would be personally trained by Thor and will be turned into a warrior. " Odin explained.
"Is that all? " Roxanne asked a bit disappointedly. Although having Thor train you personally is good and all she really didn't need that.
"Of course not. The actual price of this competition is that the winner would be sponsored by the royal family to achieve his dream. A person who is recognised by Mjolnir cannot be an ordinary person so whether he or she becomes a warrior or a mage the royal family would support it. "Odin said.
"Now I'm interested " Roxanne said as her fighting spirit was ignited again. These day she was on a quest to improve her weapon master skill. That's why she came to the Norse mythology after her training with Scáthach.
"That price is mine " Roxanne declared as she walked towards the line that was formed. If she managed to win this competition she would be able to learn many weapon refining methods and make many powerful weapons by herself.
