1 A simple choice.

A bright light blocked Ren's eyes as he walked out of the portal, shielding them he continued to walk forwards, once he was clearly out of the portal he stumbled into a nearby wall, slowly opening in his eyes, he took in his surroundings. Wherever he was is clearly poor, the buildings looked unowned, the walls were crumbling and there were clear holes in the roof.

Stretching he waited a few seconds like the spirit had told and as if like clockwork a voice spoke to him.

*Initializing system...Booting complete, please name the system.*

'Umm, Katherine, Katey for short.'

*Registering the name Katey. Assessing location, according to my data, we are in the slums of Orario, a key city in the development of this world. it would be a good idea to find an organisation known as a 'Familia' to join while you gain strength. For now, we will have to rely on the strength of other gods to increase our own strength, once we create a core of divinity that will no longer be an issue.*

'So I join a Familia and then what?'

*A God will be able to update your stats as you level up, it may be best to join a lower levelled Familia so you can remain in the shadows for as long as possible. It may be best for you to experience it directly as I'm currently unable to access a lot of data, I only got the basics from my creator. Would you like me to open the starter kit? *

"Yes."

A small portal opened up in front of Ren, out of it fell, two bracers made of a dull silver metal, a leather chest plate with a shallow cut through the chest piece, slightly ripped padded leather trousers and sandals. The final thing to fall out of the portal made Ren's face explode into a smile, the rusty handle of a sword hit the floor, Ren ran over to it and after he touched the hilt, a bright clear blade shot out of the handle, the engravings on the blade read 'To the Master of the Mountain, The swiftest sword, For the Laziest Master.'

A smile appeared on the face of the young man,

'So where do I find one of these gods?'

*The Gods that are likely to accept you as a level one are now listed:

Hestia-

Hestia was one of the gods to guard the sacred flame. After descending to the Lower World, she was taken care of by her friend Hephaestus. Soon after, she was asked to live on her own after she kept freeloading off of Hephaestus Familia and was given a room at an abandoned church.

Hestia tried to create her own familia but wasn't able to recruit anyone. After failing to recruit for the 50th time, she noticed Bell and decided to secretly follow him. Hestia found out that Bell had been trying to enter a familia, but was rejected multiple times and seemed to be in the same boat. Hestia then took the chance to recruit him, which Bell happily agreed upon; becoming the first member of her familia. She took Bell to a bookstore, the location she already decided beforehand, and granted her Falna to her first dependent.

Although the Goddess only has one Familia member, the eyes of the city soon be on her and him, I suggest you avoid them at all costs.

Hera-

Some time ago, at the request of Zeus, Hera asked Freya for help in their goal to save the world. At this, Freya decided to challenge her, telling her that if she lost she would help her. Hera won the challenge, forcing Freya to stay at Orario as part of the deal.

15 years ago, her Familia was weakened after their defeat to the One-Eyed Black Dragon, and she was exiled from Orario as a result.

Hera has been described as a Yandere by the other gods, as you have experience with them, this will only be an asset to you. Hera can be found looking for Zeus in the mountains west of the city, as a one-off, I can teleport you to her location, at the cost of a bit of your soul of course.

She is seeking retribution against Loki and Feya at any cost and is willing to allow her 'children' to do whatever they want to achieve this goal.

These are the only two that would accept an unknown male who is level one. *

'I lived the life of a good man in my past life, lets mix it up a bit, teleport me to Hera. Let's watch the world burn with a Yandere...'
