The three women were drawn to his words almost simultaneously, staring at the young man in a trance.
At this moment, if there were a like panel for a love game, it would probably be displayed like this:
Ryuu↑↑↑
Hestia↑↑↑
Hephaestus↑↑↑
Hephaestus cared deeply for her Familia and saw them as her partners.
What Hestia wanted to create was a Familia that was already like a family.
And Shun's words touched Ryuu's heart. This kind of pursuit was the reason why she left her hometown and came to Orario.
It was with this concept that Ryuu joined the Astraea Familia and met the best friends of her life.
At this moment, Ryuu looked at Shun with very gentle eyes.
She hoped this young man could feel the happiness she had experienced.
She didn't want Shun to experience the suffering and regret that she had experienced in the past.
Maybe she was wrong to do this, but Ryuu hoped Shun could achieve this goal and be happy.
Hephaestus showed an expression of regret, and couldn't help but think to herself that if she had known this earlier, she would have made a big difference by secretly recruiting him into her Familia.
And Hestia, who was almost despairing, was as enthusiastic as she was resurrected with full blood.
She stood up straight, clasped her waist with her hands, and said seriously:
"If... If you have this idea, please join Hestia Familia and make a Familia like a family!"
"It's true, there are some gods who establish Familias just for their own entertainment. But even so, not all gods use children from the lower world as labor and tools!"
Hestia's face was serious. She extended her finger in front of Shun.
"Although the main nature of Familia activities depends on the main god, some gods also form Familias because they like to work. Some gods also like to plant in the fields, and for this purpose they gather like-minded children from the lower world."
"For these gods, the people in the same Familia are friends. I don't care what other gods think about their Familias, but for me, my Familia is my family, and my Familia members are my family, not just pawns!"
Only at this moment did Hestia reveal the dazzling brilliance of the gods.
This made Shun smile in satisfaction.
"Then, can you join the Hestia Familia and become my family?"
Seeing his gentle smile, Hestia looked at him with hope and pleading.
"Sure."
This time, Ryuu didn't say anything, but silently accepted Shun's decision.
"However, there's one thing I want to make clear."
Before Hestia could be happy, Shun continued:
"I prefer the Loki Familia model. Even if you're a god, I still make all the decisions about the Familia as the leader."
"In other words, in our Familia, I'm the head of the family, and you, Hestia, play the role of 'mother'."
"Can you accept this?"
"Of course, no problem!" Hestia immediately agreed.
After all, she was basically a useless goddess, and the need to form a Familia was to become 'family' rather than find a group of obedient pawns.
With Shun as leader, she was naturally very happy.
Moreover, Shun was father and she was mother...
Hestia secretly looked at the boy's handsome appearance and felt quite good!
"It's great that Hestia can find her Familia followers. Without further ado, you should bestow Falna here. There's a waiting room next door that can be used now."
It was clear that Hephaestus was very eager to drive Hestia away, the person who had been living in her place for free all day.
She enthusiastically pulled the two of them out and into the next room, not forgetting to close the door while thinking.
❀❀❀
Hestia pricked her finger with the tip of a needle, and the god's blood flowed out from between her fingers.
The bright red blood was like dewdrops falling into water, making a sound of falling water.
At this moment, Shun felt it.
The cool air like spring water penetrated into his body and suddenly melted.
And as the god's blood merged into his body, Hestia Familia's Falna appeared on his back.
This was a pattern that looked like a stove and a torch. There was a dense row of small characters scattered around the pattern, as if decorations on the pattern that looked like a stove and a torch, making the overall pattern seem somewhat mysterious just like that.
The small characters were the Sacred Text used by the gods of this world. Using the god's blood as its medium, the Sacred Text was carved on the bodies of people in the lower world to form Falna, and the possibility within the bodies of those who received this Falna was continuously explored.
At this moment, the existence named Shun became a book. An empty book.
All Hestia had to do was write down the path, experiences, and stories that Shun would go through in this book, and pour all the experiences he would gain in the rest of his life in black and white.
This was all the improvement that could be given to Shun. There were five basic abilities – strength, endurance, agility, dexterity, and magic power – a total of five items, and they were further divided into S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I ranks. The higher this rank, the more abilities were strengthened.
The number below I was called proficiency. For example, 0 to 99 was I, 100 to 199 was H, and so on, which was related to the stages of basic abilities. The upper limit was 999. The more often each item's ability was used, the greater the increase in proficiency. However, the closer it got to the maximum value of 999 – the S ability evaluation, the slower the growth rate.
The most important thing was Level. As long as the level went up one level, the increase above the basic ability bonus would be done. The level of strengthening could even be described as "physical and mental evolution". Usually, there was a ridiculous power gap between Level 1 and Level 2, and the same applied to the strong at Level 2 and Level 3. In the Danmachi world, there was an insurmountable gap at each level.
Simply put, as long as its level went up, it would become very strong. Adventurers called this phenomenon leveling up.
"Hestia, what are my stats? What are my abilities? How many magic slots are there?"
Listening to Shun's question, Hestia didn't answer, but looked at the message in front of her with great shock.
She never understood why Shun had just awakened Falna, but his potential value kept increasing?

"How... how is this possible..."
At this moment, Hestia was almost hysterical. She had been in the lower world for a long time, and she had heard a lot about Orario's adventurers while she was in heaven.
However, Shun's status was too counterintuitive!
The young man in front of her was one of the very rare geniuses with magic talent, and he easily had three magic positions!
In the lower world, when Falna was carved by the gods, what everyone was most worried about was: whether they could use magic.
Before the gods came to the lower world, magic belonged to certain races. However, the "mercy" of the gods allowed anyone to learn magic.
The number of magic manifestations remained, a minimum of one and a maximum of three. Generally, only one type of magic could be used. If someone could use two types of magic, this alone could make that person a hot commodity among their peers.
The existence of magic was very important. In ancient legends, there was an elf who controlled the wind and wiped out a hundred humans. In other words, magic was the last trump card, a decisive move that could turn the tide.
It was three magic slots. Whether there were ten such Mages among all the adventurers in Orario was a question.
Of course, even if this was rare and talented, it was still acceptable. After all, over the years, there have been three magic slots.
But this fourth slot at the beginning was definitely strange, something never heard of before.
Bringing special effects or strengthening one's own abilities under certain conditions. What was similar to magic was skill, magic inspiration was also related to essence or interest, but the difference was that the quantity field of skills had no limit on acquisition.
Among the skills possessed by many adventurers, there were many common or similar effects. Single races were more homogeneous. For example, elves had additional skills, while dwarves had strength enhancement skills.
Generally, the Level 1 that awakened at the beginning represented the essence of the adventurer himself, no matter how talented the character was, it was only one skill, and the number of abilities contained in that skill would be greater.
But the man in front of her actually had four skills like a monster, the first one actually had [Unknown], a power that even the gods couldn't explore and control.
And his second skill was even more excessive!
There were a total of five skill blessing effects, and almost all of them were the best skills, and they were all stacked together!
With his physique alone, Shun was already an inexhaustible, hard-to-kill existence.
For a moment, Hestia couldn't help but think whether Shun was from the bloodline of the elf royal family, who was even more elf than elf!
And this was just the second one.
Initially, Hestia was very surprised when she got here, but when she saw the description of the third skill, she was completely shocked!
She had heard of skills that increased the speed of experience gained during battles and accelerated growth.
However, the body's ability to automatically become stronger just by breathing was truly shameless!
What the heck is Sun Breathing? No matter how she thought about it, it felt a little scary!
There was only the fourth skill, which seemed more normal and made her dissatisfied little heart almost unable to calm down.
Hestia kept taking deep breaths, but her whole body kept trembling. She held the paper tightly, afraid she would scream with joy.
What does it mean to find treasure!
This is like picking up a rare treasure!
"What's wrong, Hestia, why are you shaking so much?"
Shun waited a long time, but the goddess didn't move, which made him turn around. Just when he was about to reach out and take the paper, Hestia couldn't hold back her joy and threw herself into his arms.
"Hehehehehe… I really found a treasure!"
Hestia buried her face in his embrace, laughing endlessly, happy like a fool.
Shun didn't show any politeness, he held her in his arms, reached out to take the paper, and carefully looked at his skills.
"I didn't expect that I would become so strong!"
When Shun saw that he had natural spirituality and would most likely form a prototype of Sun Spiritual Cultivation, he couldn't help but become a little excited.
"Indeed, I've come to the right place. As I level up, maybe I can really benefit greatly from it!"
"Shun! The Hestia Familia will rise in the future!" Hestia shook her body excitedly, and the beautiful touch made Shun hug her tighter.
Shun reached out and raised his pinky finger, making a promise to her.
"Hestia, I'm so glad to meet you. From today, let's make the Hestia Familia the strongest and most harmonious (axe-free) Familia in Orario!"
"Yes! That's a promise!"
Hestia, who was very happy, extended her finger, and the two hooked their fingertips, making the first contract between Familia members.
