The Traveling Scoundrel- Living anew

(A/N: I obviously do not own the rights to content within this novel with the exception of the Mc and possibly later added characters if i make some ocs, i also do not own the cover art so if it is desired for me to take it down i will do so) this includes traveling between worlds/multiverse, there will be some dark moments if I'm in the mode to write them, the same with R18 content. Later worlds will be up for reccomendation, obviously i'd have to research and stuff but majority votes will win in such cases. 1st world: Danmachi

(A/N: I made all these abilities and this developmental ability up for obvious reasons, i gave him the developmental ability however because I thought it would be fitting based on his exclusively self destructive way of fighting, and this would help explain his growth if I happen to get impatient with Danmachi levels, also attributing this to the main reason as to why he is now 'well into' level 2.)

Smiling at the status sheet considering the only thing he was actually kind of worried about was hidden according to what Loki saw and showed him. (A/N: His potential to become a godlike being based off the damage he takes- part of his second wish from the first chapter.) Looking up from the Status sheet and towards Loki Wilhelm asks, "Considering how much you know about me, my dear goddess, I hope you have no intentions of exposing me or my capabilities to other."

Responding with a sigh as she stops massaging her forehead, Loki returns his gaze with a greedy look at the new asset of her familia, "oh no no no, once family always family." Maintaining her grin for a few moments before she questions, " but im curious, why join a familia with your potential to freelance just about-"

Cutting her off with a polite smile that doesn't correspond with his actions, Wilhelm states in a warm voice, "I'm lazy, the tedious aspects of my life would be more efficient if I'm part of a group, and considering my potential, I could keep up with majority of groups. Whereas working alone requires more effort, and more time means I can't spend as much time doing things I could enjoy, also I currently don't have anyone I'm close to at all with the exception of a few girls at the hostess of fertility, which sucks."

Finishing his rant with an exhasperated voice, Loki is momentarily dumbfounded by Wilhelm and a sigh escapes her lips as she wonders what to do with the man. Wilhelm sits up from his previous laid out position on the bed before beginning to speak with a renewed vigor, "So, am I to meet the other members first or should I find my quarters?"

Loki lets out a soft groan of annoyance, "The others I suppose, while you are indisputably a good as-" cutting off her words with a cough as she believed she almost made a mistake, "indisputably a good addition to the team, it would seem that I've forgotten to consult my captain after such a good night with my newest familia member, according to said member."

Wilhelm getting up from his own spot on the bed, He flicks Loki's forehead before getting her dressed and forcing her to do the same before picking Loki up in a similar princess carry as the day before with a smile of his own. "I don't care if you refer to me as an asset, but I would like to be closer emotionally to the people of this familia, you included, as I'm tired of living alone. My earlier explaination wasn't my only reason to join a familia."

For a moment the trickster goddess seems warmed by his words before remembering the man's devious and playful personality, an example being how he picked her up in such a provocative way as they walked through the manor to what would be the dining area for the familia's breakfast.

Walking in and setting Loki Down, as she moves away Wilhelm notions for her to make the introduction as he begins getting confused stares, and a glare signaling prep for combat from a few members of the familia. "This man is Wilhelm, he's level two, mostly a hand to hand combatant- but according to his status plate that I've read, the boy can fill just about any role."

"I hope my sudden introduction to the familia will not upset or cause strife." Wilhelm speaks with a warm smile and attitude while Loki quietly scoffs at his change in demeanor compared to the interactions he's had with her.

Returning his seemingly warm and welcoming demeanor, Finn the phallum captain of the familia, speaks back with the man infront of him, "Welcome the familia Wilhelm, I hope we'll get along well, I'd like to have a conversation with you after breakfast so we can figure out how to fit you within our team well."

Wilhelm responds while keeping his pleasant aura about, "I'd like that aswell captain, as I hope i can be of great help. I'll be waiting in the next room over so I don't disturb the mean." With a polite bow, Wilhelm analyzes does a quick once over of the members at the table. Finn, Riveria, and Ais seem the most interested in the new Man to join the familia, mainly curious because their goddess described him in such a quick and peculiar manner, almost as if she wanted to finish the topic of him and move on.

Wilhelm leaving the room and taking a seat in the next one over, a room which resembles something of a 'living room' while entering thought- in contemplation with himself while he waits for his likely up and coming interview with the familia captain, he smiles as he looks up at the celling as it seems his life and state of happiness is improving more by the day now that he's opting to involve himself more with others.
