Chapter 6: Meeting a god

| ???'s throne room - ???'s POV |

"So, Ouranos. Why did you call me to come back?" said the unknown man to the old man on the throne.

"Odin, I'm glad you came. And the reason why called you...well, It's because it is changing." The man named Ouranos said.

"I see. So, the dungeon is finally changing. Any news about the new inhabitants of the dungeon then?" Asked Odin

"No, not yet. Hermes is on it. But Evilus is in the way." Ouranos answered Odin's question.

"hmm, I see... Then i guess i will stay for the time being. Then, do you know about Zeus's grandson. I want to see him."

"...Why?" He asked suspicious of Odin's intention's.

"Well, The geezer couldn't shut up about him. So now I'm curious why he was so full of pride." Odin replied not minding the look Ouranos gave him.

"Haah. He really couldn't shut up about him? Well, He goes every morning to the 'Hostess of fertility' to get his lunch so you'll run into him there."

"Yeah, that man was full of himself. Anyway thank you for the information. Now I'll take my leave" With those words. Odin left the throne room.

| 6 days later - Hostess of fertility - Miquella's POV |

'It's been six days with the knife incident with Bell and his porter. And these days have been very peaceful. I got a lot of information too. So about now I know as much as a normal resident of Orario should know. But there was this one incident, if you can even call it one. And surprise surprise. It involved Bell, again. Damn, he's like a trouble magnet or something. Anyway a few days ago Lunoire found a book with the title 'Magic even a goblin can understand' which was probably dropped by some adventurer. So we decided to show off on a shelf at the entrance so that if someone recognised it, then they could just take it. But the next day Bell came and was talking to Syr. Then for some reason, gave the book to him. The next day I could see him at the entrance, bowing his head to Mama Mia and Syr. It seemed the book was some sort of grimoire to unlock magic. Now that it was used by Bell it was useless. He wanted to compensate us but Mama Mia scared him off to the dungeon. And now a new, but rather interesting incident took place which shook the whole city.'

"Hey, hey. Have you heard? 'The sword princess' became a level six." Said the man on a table to the other.

"Wow, now the Loki familia has another level 6 in their hands. Will they stand a chance now against the Freya familia?" Asked the older looking man.

"No way dude. They have 'The king' Ottar. He's a level 7. You know the difference that a level brings. They can never beat him."

"Yeah true."

'So, Ais wallenstein 'The sword princess' became a level 6 after 3 years. Now that's interesting.'

Then I saw a man come in. He had dark blond hair at medium length and wore a black eyepatch over his right eye. He had a blue eye and wore black armor with a blue cape. [a/n picture here]

'adventurer?' I thought to myself before going to the man.

"Good morning sir, how may I help you?" His eye widened slightly when he saw me and then one of interest. After a moment of silence the man finally spoke.

"A table for one, and I would like some tea please." He finally responded.

"Of course sir." I said before leading him to an empty table and then walking to the kitchen to make some tea.

'I need to join a familia soon. I need to get stronger. Even Bell is getting stronger way faster than any adventurer. His aura keeps increasing at a visible rate. But first...that man....he's suspicious. He doesn't have an aura. It's as if he's suppressing it.' I thought before coming back to the man with a cup of tea.

"Here you go sir." I said before going back but i stopped right in my tracks when the man said something.

"Why are you suspicious of me?" He asked. and continued "In my journey trough the world, no one was suspicious of me on the first meeting. So that means you observed something off of me. Something that is different from everyday man." He said nonchalantly while sipping his tea. I tensed up after hearing him. And then I could see Ryuu seeing me tense up and was about to come to me. But I shake my head at her.

Then I turned to the man and did what my senses told me to do. Speak the truth "It seems to me that you are suppressing you aura. May I ask why mister adventurer?" I asked him

| Odin's POV |

'Hmm. Yes as I thought. He is an anomaly. I couldn't get any information from him with my eye after all. But what shall I do now... Loki did say making a familia was fun... Since when was the last time i had fun...Well wouldn't hurt to try. Even that bastard zeus could do it. And I am the god of wisdom and magic!! I guess i'm gonna stay here longer than expected.' Odin thought before giving a reply to Miquella.

"I am a god boy, and may i know your name?" I asked him before releasing some of my divinity.

And Miquella's eyes widened to the extreme. And so did everyone in the cafe.

"Miquella, kami-sama" Miquella replied.

"Good, Miquella. Join my familia. I just arrived in Orario and want to build a familia." I said to Miquella.

"For what reason? Why are you inviting me?"

"Like all other gods of course. Fun and I also seek new knowledge. You see I traveled the world for knowledge. And now I am in Orario. To further develop my knowledge I need a familia. So Miquella, will you join." After hearing this Miquella started to ponder while Ryuu who was listening to the conversation widened her eyes in shock. Then she walked up to Miquella.

"Ryuu?"

"You should join him Miq. Not many familia's ask a child to join them...But can you be trustworthy? Kami-sama. We don't even know your name." Ryuu glared at him.

"Hmm. You do have a point. Then I will need to introduce myself. But in a quieter place with less eyes. And bring your boss Mia Grande. I have a proposal for her if Miquella joins my familia." I said

Ryuu pondered for a bit before agreeing.

But at that moment I saw a peculiar girl with gray hair in a maid outfit glaring at me. And I turned to the source.

'I see, so Freya spends her free time here. And in a different form as well. Is it her alter ego?' I thought

'THAT OLD ECCENTRIC GEEZEEER. HOW DARE HE GRAB MIQUELLA FOR HIMSELF. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE (and Ryuu's). DAAAAMN HIIIIIM!!!' She screamed in her mind but she still put a smile on her face before attending the customers.

"So... You say this god wants Miq in his familia?" Mia asked Ryuu for confirmation while looking at said god.

"Yes" She replied.

"So, god what is your name, and what do you want to do with my employee?" Mia asked.

"Well, first off my name is Odin, God of magic and Wisdom. And i want young Miquella to join my familia." The god named Odin said.

"Odin? The older brother of Loki?" Ryuu asked surprised.

"Yes, the very same."

Alright now that we know you. And you seem to be trustworthy. What was this about a deal."

"Yes, as Miquella will be a new adventurer, his income will be low. So I ask while you let him join my familia. He will go into the dungeon in the morning and work the night shift at the bar. That means you don't lose any costumers even tho he joined me." Odin explained.

"Well at least you know he's worth a lot of costumers. But what's the time limit? As he level's up he will go deeper and will not come back for a long time." She said to Odin.

"He will work until he is a mid-rank level 2 adventurer. Sounds fair?" Odin asked.

Mia pondered a little before asking Miquella.

"Miq. Do you want to join him?"

"Yes, absolutely." He said immediately.

"Alright, Odin. We have a deal."

"Good. now Miquella, we need to find a lodging before I can give you a falna. Is it alright if the contract starts tomorrow?" Odin asked Mia.

"Yeah that's fine."

"That's great. Then we shall take our leave. Come Miquella." Odin said before leaving

"Mama Mia, Ryuu. Thank you for everything you did for me unt-" But he was cut off by Mia.

"You should go kid. We'll see you tomorrow evening. You're not going to die to monsters are you? So go! No need to get emotional for something as minor as decreasing your working ours. If anything, You'll be more busy than us. So don't get yourself killed. You're not as naive as Bell." Mia said waving her hand goodbye.

Then Ryuu came to him and gave him a hug "Stay safe, Miq." She said before leaving.

And like that Miquella went with Odin to the exit but before they went Miquella waved everyone goodbye. And they said their goodbyes in return even if they are a little confused as to why.

'Well, Ryuu or Mama Mia will explain it to them I guess.'

"Where are we going Odin-sama?" Miquella asked Odin.

"To 'Twilight Manor'." He said

1630 words YAY!!

So I went with a 'new' god namely Odin thru a suggestion of user 'alltier'. I found his idea quite intriguing and i couldn't go with Baldur or Amaterasu as they already made an appearance in the series and have known locations (I also know this thanks to him). I haven't read the novel in a long time so i kinda forgot hehe. So many thanks to 'Alltier' for his suggestions and advice till now. Anyway I went with the Odin version of God of magic and wisdom which has a lot of similarities with Miq only the goal is different. Miq studied magic and searched knowledge for his sister but Odin for the salvation of the gods against Ragnarok. But they both wanted to save so that counts. Also he's Loki's blood-brother. In mythology that was the case but in the mcu he's his adoptive son. Why? Idk.

Also i also have an armor idea so tell me what you guys think.

next 'getting a falna'. I'm excited for this chapter so i'm starting immediately.

anyway if something isn't right leave a comment.

Thx for reading, hope you enjoyed. Leave a review. Maybe some stones.
