Unbearable Life to Be Remembered

Twilight Manor, the top floor of the central tower.

There is a Loki's temple here.

Simply put, this is Loki's room, filled with various items.

There are expensive-looking thorns placed on the table, along with mysterious, colorful crystals.

Old-looking shoes and hats hang on the wall.

There's a cluttered bed, stacks of heavy books, and a beautifully decorated dagger.

Even in the corner of the room, there's a pile of small storage cabinets holding bottles of wine in various colors and shapes.

Under Loki's leadership, Riegel came here.

"Please come in."

Loki opened the door casually and entered her room.

"Excuse me."

Riegel was very polite; he stood in front of the door, slightly bowed his head as a sign of respect, then walked into the sacred space.

"Come, come, sit here."

Loki was very enthusiastic about Riegel, reminiscent of a child getting a new toy. Her mood was quite high. She even brought a chair for Riegel, swept away a pile of debris, and told him to sit.

Seeing this relaxed and free-spirited goddess, even though Riegel already knew she had such a personality, it still felt strange in his heart.

The being in front of him was a God.

Even in his previous life, creatures associated with this word were very noble and could not tolerate any insult or disrespect.

But as the first real god he encountered in his life, it must be said that Loki's strong personality refreshed Riegel's understanding of the "god" existence.

Quietly contemplating such things in his heart, Riegel sat, listening to Loki's greetings and looking around the entire room.

On the other hand, Loki's narrowed eyes were focused on Riegel from start to finish, and there was always a strange smile on her face.

"Sorry, most of the kids in the Familia have gone on an expedition to the dungeon, so I can't throw a lively welcome party for you."

Loki said this with a smile.

"No problem." Riegel looked around, shook his head, and said, "I'm not too fond of festivities, so it's fine."

"Yes, yes, I can see that you're a person with this kind of personality," Loki nodded with deep understanding but said, "But if you don't like it, then don't. Now that you've joined our Familia, we'll be a family from now on. I'm a very lonely person, but it's not good to be too lonely, right?"

"I know." Riegel showed a confident smile to Loki and said, "If it's someone worthy of being friends with, of course, I won't isolate myself from them."

"Someone worth being friends with..." Loki's expression was subtle, but she still shrugged and said, "Okay, that's enough for now. I don't want to inform the kids when they first join. Let's discuss this as the future. Let the fun wait and see."

As she spoke, Loki propped her chin with one hand and raised one leg to lean on the thigh of the other. She stared at Riegel with a pair of narrowed eyes and spoke with an undiminished smile on her face.

"You're a free person who hasn't received any Blessing yet, right?"

Hearing that, Riegel deliberately ignored Loki's penetrating gaze that seemed to pierce through his entire body and mind, and nodded naturally.

"I haven't received any Blessing yet. I even came to Orario today. Before this, I've never seen a god or contacted any Familia."

Riegel knew that it was impossible to lie in front of the gods of this world.

Therefore, he wouldn't engage in meaningless deceit, and everything he said and did seemed very calm.

"I think so," Loki grinned and said, "If there's something special about you, you wouldn't choose to stand waiting for me at the gate."

What is the Loki Familia?

One of the strongest Familias in Orario, and Familia Freya is known as the twin rulers of the Labyrinth City, famous throughout the world.

With such a powerful Familia, many people want to join.

However, why is it so easy to join the Loki Familia?

Not to mention the Loki Familia, even slightly larger Familias will have specific requirements for new members and will never accept members indiscriminately.

Therefore, generally, if you want to join a famous Familia, you must have a certain level of excellence.

If someone has already joined a Familia and received a Blessing, then it depends on their strength.

If someone has never joined a Familia and hasn't received any Blessing yet, then look at their potential.

Apart from the first one, the latter usually depends on race and talent.

Moreover, there are creatures called Demi-Humans in this world.

Demi-Humans naturally have sharp senses and possess various talents depending on their classification.

Dwarves are recognized as strong and have extraordinary physical strength; their strength and endurance are far superior to other races.

Even though the Amazoness tribe is only female, they are known for their fighting spirit and resilient vitality.

Elves are a magical race; although they don't receive a God's Blessing, they can still perform wonders and mysteries to a certain extent.

Compared to these Demi-Humans, there's nothing special about humans.

In such a situation, if Riegel, as an ordinary person, approached one of the strongest Familia members, Loki, and showed his willingness to join the Familia, he probably wouldn't even be able to see Loki, and he would be rejected by the gatekeeper.

Fortunately, Riegel himself was well aware of this issue, so he never thought of visiting directly.

He knew what situation he would face, so he chose to wait and waited for Loki directly at the gate.

Compared to humans using very realistic methods to evaluate others' worth, it's better to face a god who follows it own path, acts as it pleases, and often does unbelievable things due to it behavior.

After understanding this, Riegel decided to wait at the gate.

Therefore, Riegel was mentally prepared to fight for a long time and wait for several days.

He didn't believe that as a free-spirited god, Loki would stay in the Familia's headquarters and not go out.

Turns out, he was right.

"Take off your shirt first," Loki moved the chair, sat behind Riegel, and said, "Just the upper part is enough."

Riegel nodded, unbuttoned his shirt, and exposed his back to Loki.

"Tsk tsk, your skin is very good, even better than the young girls in our Familia."

Loki gazed at Riegel's slender back and admired, but at one point, she took out a box in her hand.

In the box, there was a needle.

Loki spoke while taking the needle.

"How much do you know about Blessings?"

This question made Riegel think for a moment.

After a while, he spoke carefully based on his memory.

"As far as I know, it's the power of the engraving used by gods on humans, using god's blood as a medium to enhance their abilities. Such power can serve as a catalyst and introduction, transforming the experiences gained by humans through various behaviors into substantial abilities, accelerating and multiplying them, achieving rapid growth."

"That's correct," Loki agreed with his statement and said, "The intangible experience value of people in the underworld, in other words, the history you've gone through. We gods will use to transform this period of history extracted and altered into nourishment for growth, allowing you to grow and become stronger at a speed unimaginable by humans. This is the only role we (gods) can play in the underworld."

As she spoke, Loki pricked her finger with the needle in her hand.

A drop of blood oozed out.

With this drop of blood, Loki lifted the tip of her finger and began to carve on Riegel's back.

Riegel could feel Loki's fingertips gliding on his back.

However, his attention was quickly diverted by Loki's voice.

"By using as a guide and Divine Blood as its medium, we gods will intuitively depict your abilities with certain numerical values. Therefore, is also called Ability Value. Anyone who can visually read this can confirm the power you've received through the Blessing."

Loki's voice sounded distant and unexpected.

"Ability values are basically divided into four parts: Basic Abilities, Development Abilities, Magic and Skills, and the most crucial one, Level."

"Let's set aside Development Abilities. It's an additional item that you can only acquire when leveling up. You won't possess it if you only receive a Blessing."

"Basic abilities are divided into five categories: strength, endurance, agility, dexterity, and magical power. Each item is represented by S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. Ten stages represent the level of ability, the closer to S, the stronger the ability."

"Level, as the name suggests, is the most direct criterion to distinguish strength from weakness. The higher the level, the stronger the power. Compared to the increase in Basic Ability stages, it can be said that there is no comparison with level increases. Enhancing Basic Abilities only improves the ability of an item. However, leveling up is called the evolution of the entire body. You can fully consider the phenomenon of leveling up as humans get closer to our (god) level."

"As for Magic and Skills, the former is a power that can cause supernatural phenomena. Initially, only a small number of magical races could use it. However, after receiving the Blessing, anyone from any race has the chance to possess it, ranging from one to three. The latter is the ability to bring about special effects under certain conditions. Although it's not as intuitive as magic, there is no limit to the number."

Speaking of this, Loki's voice seemed filled with indescribable persuasions, echoing in Riegel's ears.

"By the way, whether it's Magic or Skills, both of these enlightenment abilities through the God's Blessing are closely related to you and have the most direct connection to your personal interests and identification with something. It's said that the power of proving fantasies and longings in your heart cannot be overstated. You can try asking your own heart, recalling your life, and perhaps something will be triggered."

When Loki said this, Riegel couldn't help but remember.

Recalling his past life, his unbearable life.
