Intermediate: Argo (1)

The day Zetta receive his Falna..

"So? How about it? How does it feel?" Artemis look at naked upper body Zetta and asks.

"Though I didn't feel the insignia, knowing of having an tatto big as my back made me puke" Zetta answered her in very different way as he really hate tattoos in his body.

"Fufufu, thats not what I'm talking about." Artemis covered her mouth as she chuckle and thought Zetta was joking

"Oh.. I didn't feel any, but..." after that, Zetta confessed about him having different from other human and his 'System'. Though, Artemis didn't believe at first but after he drop all of his loot in front of her, she was bewildered.

"You're not... Joking this entire time!?" She covers her mouth yet again to not drop her jaw.

"What do you mean 'the entire time'? I mean. you actually didn't believe me? What's the point of you reincarnating the soul of the deceased?"

"No? We're God but not an omniponent you think we are! We didn't know if the soul who travelled into our world is not reincarnator not until some God pick an interest of him. and do you have any Idea who sent you here?"

"No? I thought one of you called me here, unlike normal Isekai-ed who met their God. I came from the sky as if I was threw here like a trash"

"What Isekai-ed!? I mean. How should I know? We have an Arcanum but no more connection to souls after we descent here. And.. do you know who your God is? maybe they're in connivance with one of the God who summoned you here"

"What?! Theres such a thing!? Even Gods did that kind of thing?! Did my Gods sell me?!"

"Or help you.. maybe they doesn't accept how you died, so they let you have here"

"Huh!? Wait! You mean, there are many Gods as the Galaxies?!"

Hearing him, Artemis only smiled. "There are Iron Clad that needs to be followed. Like you mortals, we too created rules for us to follow.. breaking them is akin as murder in human realm. so don't ask me anything about how Gods of this and those, or I'll get angry.. understand?" As she poke his nose, whilst he nod in return.

"Good.. as for your Status.. I don't know what kind of world you lived in but that might help you defy this world rules.. of course if other Gods from Heaven knew that 'system' of yours —which bended the original rules of this world— It's either you'll get punish or the God who let you in. Or maybe they keep a blind eye on it. It's their decision afterall.."

"Then... I cannot resists if they decided to punish me?"

"You can, but thats not the issue here... I want you to explain to me all of your secrets" Artemis smiled yet again and Zetta nodded in repeatition

"Good good... then..."

This time is when Zetta arrived at the City called Lucrios.. ten days before casting away by the Old man..

It was the City where robbers or any evil doer are separated to an inner city in which, riches resides.

An Inner City where Tycoons and businesses are located.

And an outer City in which poor resides. If one were to ask, this City is beyond saving. But tycoons keep on coming because it is actually a safe haven, away from the danger of the so-called wandering monster.

And because Zetta came from the eastern region, He happens to drop in this city along the way.

After he entered the main gate and tired of adventuring thanks to lack of sleep, he have to passes through the outer city where Slum or Poor people lived.

And according to the location where City guard pointed, the cheapest tavern and inn was out there.

Zetta then jumped atop of the roof to avoid unnecessary trouble. But who would have thought trouble itself welcomed him.

A guy covering his face with red scarf and a dark robe that only covers his chest; jumped at two roofs away from Zetta. it move its heel towards him after its amazing leap. Thereafter, five person chased after it Noticing this unprecedented events, Zetta appraised the Boy and others. and the boy's name was [Argo].

A half breed human and elf. and with Argo's wooden sword, he parried one of the chaser and kick the other, then jumped back and thrust the others throat. He spun and kick the temple of the fourth and the face of the last person.

All of them fell unconscious in one blitz attack of Argo but who would have thought not just five was chasing him. In all different roofs leaped up more than 20 armed men with different variety of weapons...

Zetta wanted to get out of this approaching trouble but was stopped by the half elf Argo..

"You know, its fate meeting you here? why not help me? You'll become a Hero too!"

"What Hero? just because you've been hunted to the death by these men, you are already a Hero?"

"No no no..! I only save those in trouble as I, Argo cannot let bandits sold girls just for money! I'd rather kill myself than not lending a hand to those are in need! That is why these people hunt me down!"

'The hell!? this guys are bandits then!?'. Zetta asks himself and look at armed men.

This is his first time appraising a person. No, this is the first time he uses his appraisal as this skill emerged not too long ago. But it only said from the information that they were 'Adventurers' and their god affiliation, in which he didn't know whom.

"Are you guys really a bandit?" Is what he asks while fending himself from slashes who are using horde tactics. Though, he swiftly dodge their crude fighting style.

"So what!? We're going to kill you anyway!" As one of them answered.

Satisfied, he cut off an arm of the man who answered. Then another, and another. Until the majority of them are missing either hand or a whole arm.

"Whoa! what a powerful fella, I didn't think I can find my greatest ally here!"

"My ass! tsk I don't care either... now I've done my business with you.. please leave me alone" Zetta answered as he left.

Of course, the remaining bandits are already run for their lives.

"No no no! I haven't yet said my appreciation! So atleast let me!"

'The hell!? Is this guy have some screw lose!' Zetta thought so, "Alright then! Said it now.." he feel irritated with its pure looking smile.

"Before that. You're new here right?" says by the half elf.

"You can tell!? then why not say your so called appreciation first so that we can part ways here!?" Zetta is irritated.

"hmm hmm, yes. I'm sure you are as those Bandits are infamous as slave dealer. So not only slums but also in inner city's people should know their affiliation or two" said Argo as he put his hand into his chin.

"Fuck! Didn't you hear me!? damn it.. either way.. I don't care.." Zetta doesn't care anymore as he started to leave Argo behind

"Owu.. chotomatte!.. are you going towards the tavern or an inn?"

Zetta didn't look at him but continued to move forward while Argo was tailing, "I mean, if you want, you can rent an inn near the inner city at a cheap price! It is also a tavern so you can gather information you want. They also have booze made by reknowned dwarves!!" Argo pointed towards the said place.

Zetta didn't or shouldn't flinch but after hearing the last word, Zetta gulp in secret.

Though he didn't drink sake that much, he love tasting them. But made by a dwarf? Isn't that rare!? Dwarves don't exist in the Game he Played and because of that, he himself are making them inside the game. In which is surprisingly delish and love by his customer. He sell them as limited edition because of it's rare ingredient.

But who would have thought he can taste booze in this world! And made by dwarves at that!? not only that but also a reknown dwaf!?

But without showing his excitement.. he only response with "Yes".. but deep inside, his heart was racing.. 'F*ck! Finally at last!!'
