Melinoe got kicked out?

"My name is Melinoe Aidoneus. I am the first daughter of Hades Aidoneus, goddess of nightmares and princess of the underworld. Didn't expect that, huh? Why would a goddess like me take an idiot like you to my world? Well, it all started when I asked my dearest father to give me independence..."

[Flashback]

The underworld is having a normal day as usual. You can see the dark tall buildings built like a circle around a huge palace. The palace is huge...ridiculous to be honest. There's a huge lake in the middle of it and you can see two small figures arguing near it.

"Why father dearest? Why can't I do what I want? Do you seriously need to restrict me in this bigass castle??"

"Daughter, you need to understand. Outside world is dangerous... There are many lechers and stupid creatures outside. Just tell me what you need and I will buy it for you! Just don't go outside!"

Hearing her father, Melinoe sighed. This topic... how many times have they argued about this in the last 2400 years. She's sick of it.

" FATHER, I AM A GODDESS! GODDESS OF NIGHTMARES! HOW IN THE HELL A GODDESS LIKE ME DOESN'T EVEN HAVE HER OWN TERRITORY? EVEN THE IDIOTS APOLLO AND ARES HAVE THEIR COUNTRIES BUILT IN OLYMPUS. Pheww.... let me say it one last time. You help me build or I'm leaving this place!"

[Flashback end]

"Uhh...so you got kicked out??!" Well she deserves it for being a loudmouth. Who told her to demand a freaking country from god of the underworld. And the god Apollo is useless?? I feel insulted for some reason...

"HECK NO. We argued for like 3 hours after that then my father offered me a deal. Well.. he agrees to me building a city but I need to build it from scratch. Without anyone's help."

"Uhhh so you want me to be a construction worker?? What the... I thought this was a fighting game! F*cking hell, I got scammed!"

"Idiot, listen until the end. You humans are so weak yet so rude.. What kind of goddess do you think I am?! Do I look like a goddess who will invite a construction worker from another world?! Ofcause, I have built it already, what I lacks are warriors.

Since my dear father is not going to provide me his skeleton soldiers, I need to raise my own. I could just invite dead souls but most of them are ya know... dead already. They're all lazy-asses who wants to eat, sleep and work safely. None of them like being soldiers and that's where you idiots come in.

I have built colosseums around it where the warriors I invited will come in and fight for the positions. There are seven ranks from "S" to "F". The higher you rank...you'll see what happens. "

Melinoe smiles mysteriously which gives me chills down my spine. This woman is a 'licensed' bit*h. I'm not kidding.

"Hmm...so what about making money in real life? How do I get real money from playing this game?!"

"Tch...another greedy bastard. Well... for you to understand how it works, I need to explain the currency exchange. Every countries in your world have a difference in value between the currencies and so does the underworld.

We use a currency calls "Undercoins". These coins can be used by the citizens everywhere in the underworld to buy anything they need. 10 Undercoins equals to 1 Caelam dollars. I don't wanna accept it but since your world's more advanced, our world demands more imports which results in lower currency value. Well, enough about economics... what you need to know is that nothing in this world is free, alright?"

What the fuck..

"Uhh I get it.. Nothing is free, blah blah blah. Tell me the important stuff. I didn't install the game to waste time arguing with you. "

"Hmph, you ignorant creature! Be patient. If you want to make money, you need to know how it works. You should know that, underworld doesn't use your world's currencies. Those papers you called dollars are pretty much useless there so they will have to be exchanged into Undercoins if you want to buy something in underworld.

Here's a tip. As an invited newbie, you need to start training in free duels to get stronger first. Then, you can think of participating in the ranked, where you start making money.

Making money is easy but risky...it's actually very exciting. Mmmmm.. you'll get addicted to it in no time."

Hearing the way she said it at that time, I was a little shaken to be honest. What kind of games can make people addicted and violent at the same time?.. Bruh this sound like an invitation to hell. Oh wait, it is.

I thought about what she said for a minute then decided,

" You talk too much. Why not show me those big ass colosseums of yours? Let's go to the underworld. Now."

"Hmm...ApolloGOD031. Ofcause I can send you there. Just touch this cube and we will be transported instantly to underworld."

There's a golden cube floating above her hand. It looks so mysterious and also... suspicious!

"Why are we not using the portal? Why do I have to touch this cube to go there?"

"Well idiot mortal. Do you know how hard it is to travel through portals? If you're not experienced enough, your might get lost and your avatar will be destroyed into pieces. I give you an easy way and you want to make this hard. Sigh..."

Seeing her shaking her head like she regrets inviting me, I kinda felt awkward. I mean, does any humans actually know how the portals work?? I thought it would be like swwshhhh and whoopppp, arrived. Like instant travel.

"Uhh, sorry I guess?? Umm here I go!" I touched the cube and .. *flash* the surroundings became black and then changed back but this time, my room's filtered with red colour. Weird...it's like watching my surroundings using the red filter.

"Welcome to my world... Let me explain why you're still in your room. It's simply because the city you're in is designed to be like Lumina. No matter which country you are in, you can still get access to the colosseums. Well it's complicated. Creatures with small brains won't understand how it work. You don't need to know about it. Now, let's get out of your small home and visit one of the colosseums. Choose [Yes] if you want me to show you the way."

A choice appeared in front of the screen one "Yes" while the other says "No". I chose Yes and the light came from Melinoe's hand suddenly glowed and the light shaped into an arrow. It's pointing at the east where the door's at. Well let's go then..

It's 5:30 pm right now. Fifteen minutes after walking from my house, we can finally see the big building in front of us. Well, the shape of it looks like a real colosseum but the design of the building is extremely modern. I can see many different kinds of people walking around. What the f... there's a female Neko!!!! THERE ARE humanoid NEKOS IN THIS GAME???

............................................
