Riveria "The Divine Mage"

Family Rozzo's Dining Room.

According to Riveria's arrangements, the family's chefs serve breakfast very early in the morning.

This is so that all the members have enough energy for their morning training sessions.

Everyone in the family sits down and eats the sumptuous, carefully balanced breakfast.

At one of the many tables, several people are sitting and chatting.

In the center of the table, two elves are having a heated discussion.

"Riveria-chan, are you sure that Kami-sama will take our nicknames seriously?" An anxious Elinalise took Riveria by the shoulders and asked her.

"Don't worry, Elinalise. Last night, I reminded him very clearly not to play with everyone's nicknames," Riveria nodded solemnly, repeating to her God last night and this morning that he wouldn't play with the nicknames.

Elinalise, who heard Riveria, sighed in relief. After all, the nickname in Orario is very important.

Most first-level adventurers tend to be called by their nicknames, so no one wants to have a terrible nickname and be called by it wherever they go.

The other members at the table also sighed in relief; everyone wants to have good nicknames.

"Hmph, he'd better," with a furrowed brow, Eris thought that if her master gave her a bad nickname, even if she were beaten again, she would take him to the ring.

"Don't worry, Kaylon is a serious person," Paul tried to reassure everyone, though it would work better if he didn't say it with a nervous expression.

"I think an appropriate title for me would be the most beautiful rose of the Rozzo family, don't you think?" Elinalise nodded confidently; with her incredible beauty, she will take that title with pride.

Everyone at the table looked at Elinalise completely speechless.

Paul rolled his eyes and said, "Stop daydreaming, Elinalise. With how much you annoy Kaylon, it would be your luck if he gave you a decent nickname."

"Hmph, Paul, idiot, you don't understand the friendship between Kami-sama and me," with a snort, Elinalise ignored Paul's words and continued to fantasize.

"What do you think your nickname will be, maestra?" Sylphie, who was sitting on Riveria's left, asked.

"I don't know, Kami-Sama said it would be a surprise," Riveria isn't worried about her nickname; as the captain of the family, she doesn't believe her Kami-sama will choose a bad nickname for her.

"Don't worry, maestra! As the captain of the family, Kami-sama must know that your nickname is very important," Sylphie, thinking her master was nervous, reassured her.

"Hehe, there's no problem, Sylphie. Kami-sama knows when to joke and when not to," Riveria stroked her disciple's head with a smile.

"Umu."

The conversation continued at the table; everyone presented the nicknames they believed suited them.

Some laughed, and others got angry; the atmosphere at breakfast was warm and welcoming.

Moments like these strengthen the relationship among the members of the Rozzo family, bringing harmony and affection within the family.

...

Top floor of Babel Tower, Today a meeting that hadn't been held in a long time is taking place.

The Denatus, a meeting created by the Gods, to discuss important matters related to Orario.

Today many Gods enter the main hall where the Denatus is held constantly.

Everyone wears smiles, clearly in good spirits because of the recent victory against the dark faction.

In a secluded part of the meeting room, a Goddess and a God are having a very lively conversation.

"Remember, Loki, when it's time to give the nicknames to my family, you have to support me," with a serious face, Kaylon told Loki.

"Don't worry, Kaylon! I, your loyal friend Loki, will choose the best nicknames for your family," pounding her non-existent chest, Loki assured with a solemn face.

"Umu, don't worry, Loki, as long as you help me, I will also help you with the nicknames for your family," with a smile, Kaylon patted Loki's back.

Having finished convincing Loki, Kaylon withdrew to talk to other Gods he knew in the sky, asking for their help with the nicknames.

Kaylon is quite worried about this matter; after all, even though with his power he can press for not putting ridiculous nicknames, he still cannot guarantee that there will be good nicknames.

When it comes to fun, the Gods lose their fear and caution and dive in headfirst.

After a while of the Gods conversing, soon the main door of the Denatus closed, indicating that all the Gods had arrived.

After a few minutes, a God with an elephant mask walked to the podium and with a loud voice said, "I am Ganesha! Welcome divine companions, now I begin this Denatus number #544."

Knowing that the meeting was beginning, the Gods quickly took their seats.

Sitting in the chairs closest to Ganesha on the podium were the strongest families, while the Gods with weaker families sat further away.

Seeing that everyone had settled, Ganesha continued, "First of all, before we officially begin, I want everyone to give a big round of applause for our victory against the dark faction!

~CLAP~ ~CLAP~ ~CLAP~

All the Gods clapped sincerely; the victory against the dark faction is certainly a source of pride for everyone.

After a while of applause, Ganesha continued, "Well, now I will give you the agenda for this meeting; first, we will talk about the guild rewards and benefits obtained previously agreed upon by all the families."

All the Gods who participated in the battle listened intently.

"Well then, as agreed, the Rozzo Family will receive 35% of the loot, the Loki and Freya families will each receive 30% individually, and the other 5% will be distributed according to the contribution they made," with a loud voice, Ganesha announced the gains.

There wasn't much surprise among the Gods; after all, this topic had already been discussed before at the Rozzo mansion.

Of course, there may be envy and jealousy, especially when seeing the satisfied faces of the three great families.

After a few minutes, Ganesha spoke again, "Now, regarding the guild rewards, Lord Uranus has decided the following distribution: the Rozzo family will receive 20%, the Loki family will receive 15%, the Freya family will also receive 15%, the Astrea family will receive 10%, the Ganesha family 10%, the Hephaistos family another 10%, and the other 20% will be distributed depending on the contribution."

Ganesha finished speaking with a happy tone; it can be seen that the guild reward made him happy.

After hearing the announcement of the guild rewards, many Gods nodded satisfactorily.

Unlike the benefits gained from the dark faction, these guild rewards may not be as great, but they are still quite attractive.

Kaylon, Loki, and Freya also accepted their respective rewards without complaint; after all, the three of them understand that squeezing too much from the other families will cause dissatisfaction.

Astrea and Hephaistos also had happy smiles on their faces; after all, the money they will receive can accelerate the growth of their family.

"Now we will talk about the properties seized from the dark faction, this will be done as follows..."

After a long discussion, all the respective gains were handed out.

The faces of the Gods were filled with flowers and smiles due to the great rewards.

On the other hand, the Gods who did not participate in the war watched the scene with deep envy.

After finishing discussing the topic of gains, Ganesha continued to talk about other less important matters.

Such as the ranking ascensions among the families; many families ascended to levels C, B, A respectively according to their contribution.

It is worth mentioning that the Rozzo family achieved a promotion to an S-rank family, which grants them various guild benefits and within the city.

Of course, it also entails several responsibilities, but in the end, the gains outweigh the inconveniences.

After a long discussion, they finally reached the topic that interested all the Gods.

"Now we will announce the updates of the adventurers, we will assign the respective nicknames and conclude the meeting."

Nervousness and anticipation appeared on the faces of all the Gods; everyone here knows that when it comes to assigning titles, a fierce battle always ensues.

"Well, we will start in order according to the contribution made in the war against the dark faction."

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Ganesha placed several papers on the table, looking for the right one, then he spoke.

"We will start with the Rozzo family." Looking at the reports of the Rozzo family, a surprised expression appeared on Ganesha's face.

The Gods who noticed Ganesha's surprise felt even more curious.

Looking at Kaylon sitting with a proud smile, Ganesha said with a smile, "First of all, congratulations to Kaylon-sama for the great increase in power in his family."

With a happy face, Kaylon looked at everyone in the meeting with an arrogant look.

"Just get on with it, Ganesha!" Loki, who was impatient, shouted at Ganesha.

"Alright, first we will take the update of the Captain of the Rozzo family, Riveria Ljos Alf, who managed to reach the admirable power of a level 7 adventurer!" With a loud voice, Ganesha said the words that shocked all the Gods.

With their mouths agape, all the Gods were shocked by the news; the terrible elf who at level 6 cast a spell that nearly killed the formidable Alfia, is now at level 7.

That news is simply a storm in everyone's hearts; who knows how terrifying that woman's current strength will be.

Freya, who had previously been somewhat elevated by Otta's upgrade, immediately received a harsh blow from this news.

With the spell power that elf released that day, even Alfia, who had a strength equivalent to a level 8, was shattered; now that the elf has ascended to level 7, in Freya's opinion, Otta stands no chance.

Shaking her head, Freya's previous little arrogance disappeared; there is still a giant looming over her head, and she has to be cautious.

Loki was also surprised by the news, and the pressure from the Rozzo family on her increased by a level.

"Phew, fortunately we're not enemies." With a sigh of relief, Loki reassured herself by thinking about her relationship with the Rozzo family.

Of course, if there's anyone at the meeting who was more upset by the news than anyone else, it's undoubtedly Ishtar, who now had a dark face.

After returning home and reflecting on how she offended Kaylon, Ishtar only felt like a fool.

As an influential Goddess in Tenkai, she naturally knows Kaylon's temperament, and immediately knew that Kaylon would not let that offense slide.

Since then, Ishtar's mood has been terrible, and she constantly thinks about how to solve that future calamity.

Now that the Rozzo family has become much more powerful, the situation has become much more difficult.

Biting her nails violently, Ishtar thought that her future was bleak.

Putting aside Ishtar's thoughts, the announcement of Riveria's update will surely be a big change in Orario.

With this increase in strength, the Rozzo family undoubtedly advanced even further towards the title of the strongest family.

After a while when the Gods calmed down from the strong news, Ganesha spoke again.

"Well, now we can begin with the selection of the title for the captain of the Rozzo family."

Upon hearing those words, all the Gods immediately perked up; choosing a title for someone as incredible as Riveria is undoubtedly important.

All the Gods want to be the ones to name the elf so they can boast about it.

Kaylon, upon hearing that Riveria was about to be named, immediately became nervous; he has to get a good nickname for his little Riveria no matter what happens.

Looking at Loki, Kaylon gestured to her, reminding her of their agreement.

Loki, seeing Kaylon's signals, raised her thumb indicating not to worry.

"Well then, we can begin; if you have suggestions, you can say them." With Ganesha's voice, the tough battle began.

"I propose she be called Loki's wife!" Upon hearing the start of the suggestions, Loki immediately jumped up and proposed a nickname.

"You bastard!" Kaylon, upon hearing Loki's nickname, clenched his fists and cursed Loki with a fierce face.

The agreement they had made just a while ago was immediately broken.

After Loki gave the start, all the Gods immediately began to shout.

"I propose she be called the Green Elf!"

"The mage of lights!"

"Shine shine!"

"Tinkerbell"

"Long ears!"

"Chunchumaru!"

Kaylon, upon hearing the horrible nicknames from the Gods, clenched his fists in anger.

He is sure that if one of these nicknames is given to Riveria, he will have to sleep on the couch for a month.

"Damn it, Ganesha! Why are you writing down those horrible nicknames?" Seeing that Ganesha was actually jotting down the nicknames given by the Gods, Kaylon held his head in despair.

"Bastards! If my Riveria ends up with a horrible nickname, I'll blow up your houses."

Kaylon's terrible battle continued for hours, exhausting his body and soul.

...

"Kami-Sama is taking a long time," Riveria, who was in the conference room with everyone in the family, said anxiously.

"It's okay, Riveria-chan; according to the information, Denatus meetings usually take a long time," Elinalise reassured Riveria.

According to her Kami-sama, he would probably arrive at night, so everyone gathered in the conference room to wait for him.

However, several hours have passed, and Kami-sama has not arrived.

"Hey, it's already past 8, my bedtime," Paul, who looked at the clock on the wall, said.

Rudeus, who was next to his father, looked at him with pity and said nostalgically, "Are you that old, father? You even have a bedtime..."

Paul's face darkened, then he raised his hand and gave Rudeus a strong smack.

~SMACK~

"Ouch!" With pain, Rudeus grabbed his head.

"What's up with your father's punches, did they get weaker?" With a smug look, Paul glanced at Rudeus disdainfully.

"Hmph, pathetic, even an old man hits you," Eris complained, looking at Rudeus with annoyance.

While the family argued, suddenly the sound of the door rang out.

*CREEK*

Then Kaylon entered through the door, looking lifeless.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Kaylon approached a sofa and threw himself onto it.

Lying on the sofa, Kaylon looked with dead eyes at everyone in the conference room. "I fought for you all, I did everything I could... here are the results."

Weakly raising his hand, Kaylon handed the nicknames to Elinalise, who was nearby.

Then he collapsed on the sofa, without energy.

Riveria, seeing her Kami-sama's sad state, stood up and sat beside him while caressing his head.

Meanwhile, Elinalise, who received the nicknames, immediately took the first one.

Taking the first nickname, Elinalise smiled and began to read it.

"The first one is Sylphie," taking Sylphie's nickname, Elinalise looked for the nickname section.

Sylphie, upon hearing her nickname, nervously looked at Elinalise.

"Oh, it's a good nickname, Sylphie, congratulations! From now on, you will be known as 'Tempest,' level 5 adventurer." With a smile, Elinalise gave Sylphie her new nickname.

"Tempest, Tempest..." Sylphie, upon hearing the nickname, started to murmur it, and the more she did, the more she liked it.

With a big smile, Sylphie took her status sheet with her new nickname and carefully stored it. (On the sheet, only the level and nickname are listed.)

The other members of the family, upon seeing Sylphie's nickname, felt hopeful about having a good one too.

"Next is Roxy!" Taking Roxy's status, Elinalise read it carefully.

Roxy looked at Elinalise's hands expectantly.

"Hehe, another great title, congratulations, Roxy! Now you are 'The Storm,' a level 5 adventurer." With a smile, Elinalise read Roxy's status.

Roxy's eyes sparkled with satisfaction, and she carefully took her status and stored it.

Having delivered the status, Elinalise continued with the next one.

"Well, next is Rudeus!" Taking Rudeus's envelope, Elinalise opened it with a smile.

Rudeus also looked anxiously at Elinalise.

Elinalise carefully opened the envelope and started reading it with a smile. However, soon her smile faded, and her mouth began to tremble.

"Elinalise?" Rudeus, seeing Elinalise's change, felt a bad feeling and asked Elinalise with concern.

"T-This, Rudeus, your nickname is good, quite unique, hehe..." With a forced smile, Elinalise tried to soften the blow.

"Just tell me, please," Rudeus, who was starting to despair, asked Elinalise.

"The nickname is... P-Pervy Sage, Pffft," trying to hold back her laughter, Elinalise said the title with difficulty.

When Rudeus heard the nickname, he felt that his whole being was wrong; imagining being called by that nickname in the streets, he felt that his future was bleak.

Turning his gaze, Rudeus looked resentfully at his Kami-sama.

Kaylon, who felt the malicious gaze, buried his head even deeper into the sofa.

"Hahaha, Pervy Sage, hahaha," on the other hand, Paul, upon hearing the nickname, couldn't contain his laughter and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha."

Paul's laughter triggered laughter from everyone in the room, everyone except Ghislaine, Riveria, and Talhand laughed.

"Alright, stop it!" Riveria, who was somewhat red from trying to contain her laughter, stopped the mockery upon seeing Rudeus, who seemed about to turn purple.

After a while, everyone managed to calm their laughter, and Elinalise continued reading the nicknames.

"Well, now it's Eris's turn!" Opening Eris's status, Elinalise prepared to read it.

Eris raised her gaze and looked expectantly at Elinalise.

"Oh, another great nickname, Eris! From now on, your nickname is 'Mad Sword King,'" with a smile, Elinalise read Eris's nickname.

Eris, upon hearing her nickname, thought about it for a moment and then nodded satisfactorily. Although she didn't like the 'mad' part, the title of Sword King appealed to her.

"It's a good nickname," Ghislaine, who was nearby, also nodded. In Ghislaine's opinion, the nickname suits Eris.

With a smile, Eris took her status and stored it.

Elinalise smiled and took the next status sheet, then looking at Talhand, Elinalise said, "Well, the next one is Talhand's! Congratulations, Talhand, you also have a great nickname, from now on, you will be known as 'Unbreakable,' level 6 adventurer." (Suggested by Mortal_God, I liked it!)

Talhand nodded with a smile, undoubtedly liking the nickname.

"Now, the next nickname is for Paul, the family favorite!" With a smile, Elinalise took out the status.

Rolling his eyes, Paul ignored the insult and listened attentively.

"Tsk, it's a shame, it's decent. Congratulations, Paul, idiot, from now on, your title will be 'Master of None,' level 5 adventurer." Clicking her tongue with annoyance, Elinalise regretted not being able to make fun of Paul.

Upon hearing his nickname, Paul shrugged; it's not the best, but at least it's not as regrettable as his son's.

"Alright, now comes everyone's favorite, mine!" With eagerness, Elinalise opened her status and read her nickname.

Looking at her nickname, Elinalise smiled. "My adventurer nickname is 'Shooting Star,' level 6 adventurer!"

With a smile, Elinalise felt really good with her nickname; it symbolizes her speed and vitality shining like a star. (That's what I came up with.)

"Alright, now the most important nickname of our family, our precious captain!" With some suspense, Riveria slowly opened the scroll.

Riveria looked expectantly at her status; her ears twitched slowly, expressing her excitement.

"And the nickname of our precious captain is..." reading the nickname, a surprised expression appeared on Elinalise's face.

"What's wrong, Elinalise!? Say it already," Paul, who was impatient, shouted.

"The Divine Mage," with an astonished tone, Elinalise murmured the title.

What does it imply for a mortal in a city of gods to be given a "Divine" title? The answer is that even the gods believe that Riveria is worthy of a Divine title.

In other words, at least in the eyes of the gods, Riveria is worthy of Divinity.

Looking at Riveria with amazement, everyone fell silent.

Riveria was also amazed; as an elf with vast knowledge, she can also understand what that title means.

Squeezing her hand slightly on her god's head, Riveria asked, "Kami-sama, did you give me this title?"

Kaylon, who had his head on the sofa, slowly got up, then turning his gaze, his eyes met Riveria's.

"It wasn't a title I proposed. Someone suggested it, and everyone agreed. It's the decision of all the Gods in the Denatus," Kaylon said softly to Riveria.

Upon hearing her god's response, Riveria lowered her head slightly.

For her, an elf who has pursued magic her whole life, for her, magic is the second thing she loves most in the world.

The fact that she was recognized by the gods with that title is really important to her.

"Hehe, Riveria, my little divine mage," grabbing Riveria, Kaylon put her against his chest.

Everyone watched the scene with a smile; their captain's recognition really makes them happy.

"Well, for now, I'm done. The rest of the nicknames will be posted on the bulletin board in our home!" Having finished, Elinalise stored the rest of the statuses to be posted early tomorrow morning.

(The rest of the nicknames, you will know in due time.)

"All right, it's bedtime, everyone to your beds!" Kaylon, holding his little Riveria, who was still surprised by her title, said to everyone.

"Hmph, Kami-sama, don't think I'll forget this," as everyone was leaving, Rudeus looked at Kaylon with narrowed eyes.

Pursing his lips, Kaylon didn't say anything, in fact he didn't give that nickname, Kaylon can only say that it was Rudeus' fault for having a perverted aura.

Sighing, Kaylon took his Riveria and walked towards his room.

"We have a lot to do tomorrow, my little Riveria, let's sleep well."

"Um"
