First Quest

"We are aliens too," Zeus said.

I froze for a moment. What was he saying? Out of all things I imagined he would be starting with, that was not one of them.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

He sighed, "All the gods in the pantheons you know about are actually aliens. We are from another planet, and we saw Earth as an opportunity. We wanted to make it our home."

"So, all of us came here together, and tried to awaken the system and mana on the planet by force. It didn't work out…"

"But why go to Earth?" I said.

Zeus was quick to answer, as if he predicted the question.

"All of us are powerful, but on many planets, we are not at the top of the food chain. We wanted to find a place to rule, a place where we would be the strongest force around," Zeus explained.

The idea of all the characters from the myths being aliens was not totally crazy. In the universe I lived, where there was a system, magic and levels? Well, that made the idea of Zeus being an alien less crazy.

"Yet it didn't work, and now you are here. I don't get it."

"We didn't awake the mana, and we can't live forever in a place without mana. So, that's why we built this dimension and retreated here."

The gods couldn't stay on Earth because there was no mana, but why didn't they return now that Earth finally awakened the system and mana? I asked Zeus that, and the answer was not one I expected.

"Sorry, but I can't answer that. But some of us want the same thing," he said. "Some of us will try to help you get stronger to conquer Earth back!"

Some of us. That sentence was key, and I didn't miss it. I was not stupid. He was saying that some gods were willing to help me while others were not in the mood to live on Earth anymore. Some couldn't be trusted.

Could I trust Zeus? The question popped into my mind. He was not telling me everything — which I already knew it would happen — but how could I know he was trustworthy?

"Can't you just go to other planets, then? I mean, I understand if you don't want to go to Earth now because an alien race conquered it, but what about other planets?" I asked.

Zeus was clearly trying to avoid the question. "Some gods did, and they just come to this place for a drink. Others didn't. I'm one who didn't leave, and I'm still trying to free Earth from the hands of the evil alien race."

The whole thing was just a mess. It took me a long time to comprehend what was happening to me.

There was some good news: I had a system, and some gods were willing to help me — giving quests — and with it I could get rewards. At least that was what the messages said when I entered the tavern.

But many gods didn't want to help me. Why should they? Also, even if the gods helped me conquer Earth from the aliens, couldn't they just kill me afterward and get the planet?

I could see that one of the hardest things would be finding the right people to trust, and although Zeus answered me a lot of questions, he wasn't one of them yet.

"You can come here any time you want, and just chill. No one can attack you inside this place," Zeus said.

"Good. I thought I was about to die when Loki confronted me."

Zeus laughed. "He was just trying to scare you. Anyway, be free to go around and talk to anyone you want."

He didn't try to keep me in there or convince me to help him, but Zeus knew I would help him.

How could I refuse the offer of power when that was what I needed the most? Currently in an unknown planet, I needed strength to get back to Earth, to get back to my family.

I decided to leave Zeus' room. He looked at me and smiled. "And your name is?"

"Zephyr."

That's was all I said to him. Zeus probably wanted to know more about me, but why should I tell him?

Right after I left his room, someone came to me in the hallway. It was a pretty girl with blond hair, and she wore similar clothes to the ones Zeus wore, but hers were way more revealing.

I looked closer to her chest, and I could see her nipples through the vest she wore. It was sexy. A young man like me couldn't resist the sight.

"Hey, darling," she said to me with a charming voice, "I've heard there' someone new around."

There was just no way I could hide my identity from any of them.

"Yep, that's me," I said, still staring at her body, "And you are?"

"Aphrodite," she said, "I have a task for you, if you want."

She was Aphrodite, and she was way more sexy than I thought she would.

"What type of task?"

Was she referring to the tasks that the Gacha System would give me? If that was the case, then I wanted to complete them! It seemed that was the fastest way for me to get stronger.

With a smirk, she said, "I can sense you had… recently let go of your semen…"

I didn't know what to say. That was something weird for her to sense.

"So, your task is to find a woman and have relations with her. But not just any girl, you need to find an older woman. Go spread love, my child," Aphrodite said.

[Aphrodite Quest!]

[Find a MILF and have relations with her (fuck her)]

[Rewards: Points with Aphrodite.]

The message appeared before my eyes. All I had to do was say yes or no, and of course I said yes! Aphrodite looked pleased with my answer, and then she left.

I looked at her back as she moved through the hallway. Aphrodite kept moving her ass around, and she even glanced at me and winked.

'Damn it, she's hot!'

That was the first quest I got, and I was excited to complete it to glance at the rewards that awaited me in the future.
