Isao wondered what was happening to his luck since he met such a horrible character when he entered the city for the first time.
Yet, he also knew that misfortune was also part of growth, and it could become an experience for him to temper himself as a better man.
Still, that experience gave him a shudder, and he realized that this world wasn't as amazing as he thought it to be. At the same time, he knew that he had to become as powerful as possible so he could protect himself in this world.
If he was attacked by a wild goddess, then it might be fine, but if he was attacked by a wild god?
Despite the unsettling experience, Isao's resolve remained unshaken. He didn't retreat to the safety of his home, for he had a family to provide for and children to protect. And in a moment of reflection, he couldn't help but acknowledge the greatness of Apollo's DNA.
Still, while Apollo's DNA was great, he realized that he couldn't replicate his DNA fully.
Whether it was talent, experience, knowledge, or many other asides, Isao could replicate everything from Apollo's DNA, but from the DNA he replicated, he felt that Apollo's strength was too weak.
Shouldn't God be powerful?
Yet, when he considered the setting of this world, he also knew that divine beings who came to the lower world were forbidden to use their power, and they had only similar strength to normal humans.
Still, even with all of that, Isao had to admit that the stamina that he had to use to replicate Apollo's DNA was immense, especially when Apollo had lived for eons, so this replication took a lot of toll on his body. Moreover, he also replicated Bell Cranel's DNA before, which made his appearance even more listless.
'Dammit, God sure lives so long.'
If he didn't have the near unlimited stamina and endurance from the DNA he gained from the demon in the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba," he was afraid that he would be as good as gone. At the same time, he was glad that he had the system since it helped him to sort out all the necessary memories and throw out all the useless ones, especially when Apollo often lived in such a debauchery life.
'Even though their beginning is great...'
The Greek Myth was full of adversity and fighting, but when all the fights were gone, those gods and goddesses were so...
Isao let out a helpless sigh, but his gains from Apollo's DNA were immense, especially when Apollo was a god of oracles, healing, archery, music and arts, light, knowledge, herds and flocks, and protection of the young.
Moreover, Apollo was also a member of the Twelve Olympians, the twelve greatest gods in Greek mythology.
Still, while his speed to replicate someone's DNA had become faster, he needed to take a while to replicate Apollo's DNA, but even so, it didn't stop him from replicating all the races that he met along the way after he ran away from Apollo. He might not have replicated them now as he was in the process of replicating Apollo's DNA, but it didn't matter since he could have replicated those DNAs later.
What was important was that he had recorded them on his system first.
Still, unlike Bell, who went to enter Loki Familiar or Freya Familia, Isao decided to visit the guild, an organization that manages Familia within Orario and provides services to adventurers.
It could be said that the guild was also the governor of this city, managing taxes, managing the monsters from the dungeon, buying monster loot, and providing weapons and armor to new adventurers who were just starting out.
In other words, they managed everything, and as he had said before, it was the governor of this Orario.
Entering the guild, he was welcomed by a wide space with an interior that appeared sophisticated, classy, and also cozy. 'As expected of God.' God was the one who taught the men, and naturally, their talents and knowledge of many things were impressive.
Even though this world might appear like a world from the past, it might not be much different from the modern world.
If the "Lost Civilization" in the story on his world appeared, it would be this, he thought.
Still, as he entered, he naturally attracted the attention of many, and they snickered, thinking that he was someone from the countryside since he kept staring at the interior of the guild.
However, the guild service was as impeccable as ever.
Even though Isao appeared to be from the countryside, one employee approached him and helped him kindly.
"Is it your first time to be in the Orario?"
"Yes." Isao nodded. "I have just come earlier." He turned and was welcomed by a beautiful woman with an intellectual and elegant atmosphere. Still, the one that attracted his attention the most was this woman's pointy ears, which reminded him of a certain myth race in the story.
'Elf.'
It was his first time seeing one.
No, she should be a half-elf, according to his memory, but it was all the same, he thought.
"Then, let me welcome you to Orario." The beautiful young woman welcomed him gently and also looked at Isao curiously. Even though his clothes appeared distressed, they had a rebellious, masculine charm. Even though he was a human, his appearance was even better than that of an elf that was famous for its beauty. This also made her wonder whether this was the reason why he wore such lame glasses. "Do you want to become an adventurer?"
"I am not sure, but can you tell me more about this city? Whether it is the Familia or what kind of Familia that exists in this city?"
"Sure."
Hearing those words, this beautiful young woman nodded softly, then remembered something. "Ah, right. My name is Eina Tulle. Nice to meet you. If you become an adventurer, I will be your advisor."
As Eina extended her hand, Isao held her hand firmly and introduced himself. "Nice to meet you, Tulle-san. My name is Iinuma Isao. While I am interested in becoming an adventurer, let me hear what kind of a job an adventurer is."
[You have acquired Eina Tulle's DNA.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
Let's record it first.
"Sure." Eina nodded, happy that Isao wasn't careless and careful about his future. Yet, this was normal since those who became adventurers were mostly uncouth, rude, and hardly had brains because they didn't go to school. "Please follow me. Let me explain to you more inside the receptionist room."
"Thank you, Tulle-san."
As he followed her to the receptionist room, Eina then explained, from A to Z, everything about this town, the work of adventurers, and many types of Familias that existed in this town, from business type, industrial type, medicinal type, and even nation type. She even told them a trivia that he needed to know, which he was glad for, and he felt lucky that he had met such a responsible guild employee.
"If I become an adventurer, do you have a recommendation for which Familia I should join?" Isao asked.
"Hmm... as you are new in this world, it might be hard for you to join a major familiar, so you can only join a minor Familia, but I don't mean that the minor Familia is bad since there are many good ones such as Dionysus Familia."
"....."
Isao's lips twitched when he heard Eina recommend a Dionysus Familia. "What is there besides the Dionysus Familia?"
"Let me check."
Then, one by one, Eina listened to a Familia that Isao could join, such as Takemikazuchi and many others.
After writing a list of those Familias, Isao then excused himself. "Then, I will check those Familias first. Thank you, Tulle-san."
"No problem. I am waiting for you to return, Iinuma-kun." Tulle waved her hand and hoped that Isao would return and become an adventurer since it was rare for someone to listen to her carefully.
Isao didn't answer her and just waved his hand to leave, wondering what kind of Familia he should join. Still, he definitely wouldn't join the Dionysus Familia, but then, the Demeter Familia was quite interesting since he was interested in nature and farming.
Moreover, as Demeter was the Goddess of harvest and agriculture, Isao believed that he could learn many things from her.
However, before that, he decided to fill his belly first.
Looking around, he saw a stall of Jagamarukun, a popular food in this city, and used the money he got from a kind person. He definitely didn't get it from stealing; he just borrowed it and would return it later when he remembered it.
Still, Isao came to the stall and decided to buy it. "Can I have a Jagamarukun?"
"Sure! Which flavor do you want? And how much do you want?"
A girl's voice was heard, but Isao kept looking at the Jagamarakun and asked, "Which one do you recommend?"
"How about the original? It's the best!"
"Okay, I will get one of the originals."
"Only one? Don't you want more?"
"Let's get one first. If it tastes good, then I will get more."
"Okay, it's 30 Valis. After you taste it, you will definitely buy more!"
"I hope so, too." Isao gave his money and took his Jagamarakun.
"Thank you for the patronage!"
Isao didn't leave and ate his Jagamarukun in front of the stall. The taste was okay, and it was like a potato croquette in his country, but with the development of culinary in this world, he knew that this was the top of the top.
'Food...'
Somehow, he couldn't help but think that he should make a food company in this world, too, and as expected, joining the Demeter Familia seemed to be the best choice for him.
Oh, it definitely had nothing to do with the fact that he was interested in the goddess Demeter or something, okay?
Yet, as he ate, the stall staff kept staring at Isao and asking, "By the way, did you just arrive in this city?"
"Yes." Isao nodded as he ate his Jagamarukun. "I have just arrived at Orario today."
"Oh? Are you planning to become an adventurer?"
"If nothing is wrong, then yes."
Isao ignored the fact that he had just lied to Bell before.
"Then, have you decided which Familia that you want to join?"
"Not yet. I am still thinking."
"In that case, how about you join my Familia?"
"Your Familia?"
This time, Isao looked at the girl before him. Her height was petite, and she tied her hair in twin tails, but even so, her appearance was attractive, and her breasts were huge. Even if her dress was cheap and of inferior quality, it couldn't hide her beauty.
This was a goddess.
Moreover, this should be the goddess of the original protagonist.
"Yes, let me introduce myself!"
The girl came out of the stall and stood proudly in front of Isao, putting her hand on her bountiful chest, which was inordinate to her petite height.
"My name is Hestia. Child, let me invite you to join my Familia!"
"...." Isao.
