Chapter 6: God's Grace! 

"I agreed."

In the room, Goddess Hephaestus responded with a smile, which was beyond Yami's expectations.

On the other hand, Tsubaki's expression remained normal, as if she already knew the outcome.

"Your name is Yami, right? In fact, nothing is surprising. The losses of all the families were huge. Our Hephaestus familia also needs fresh blood. Compared with other gods, I value honest eyes more than abilities. So I agreed with you to join. Do you have any questions?"

"No, thank you, Hephaestus-sama!"

Yami shook his head hastily, looking at Hephaestus with slightly nervous eyes.

Only when you see the real god will you know what you are facing. A faint aura emanated from Hephaestus. It seemed as if he stared at it for too long. He would get lost in it.

This was probably the divinity unique to gods, which was also why ordinary people could recognize gods at a glance.

Almost all the beautiful words could be used to describe the Hephaestus in front of him. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Yami still lost his composure a little.

The gods seemed more noble than he imagined, even though they had sealed their divine power.

"Since there is no problem, come here and lie down!" Hephaestus looked at Yami, who was staring blankly at her, smiled lightly, and didn't care too much but patted the couch beside her.

"Huh?! Oh, yes!"

Yami's heart was beating rapidly when he returned to his senses. His ears felt a little hot, just like his reaction when he was caught by a teacher on the spot when he was a child and faced with many eyes.

This slightly cute reaction also made Goddess Hapheastus couldn't help but laugh.

To prevent her behavior from causing too much pressure on her newly joined child, the goddess could only try her best to endure and then shifted her gaze to the silent Tsubaki.

"Tsubaki, why are you still standing here?"

"It doesn't matter, Hephaestus-sama, it's just a falna for newcomers, and there won't be any overly important skills and magic, so you don't have to drive me away."

"Really, as the leader, how can you lead by example!"

For Tsubaki's rogue behavior, Hephaestus was very troubled.

Obviously, every adventurer's gift information was very important. It must not be leaked to anyone other than the main god of the familia. Still, she did something that embarrassed her, the main god.

"That doesn't work, hurry up and go out, and wait outside!"

"I'm going out now~" Hearing Hephaestus's serious tone, Tsubaki could only choose to obey.

Only Yami and Hephaestus were left in the room with the door closed.

"Okay, Hirata, lay down."

After chasing Tsubaki away, Hephaestus sat on the edge of the soft couch covered with quilts while talking and patted the place beside her.

Yami knew that the goddess would perform a falna-giving ceremony for him.

"Hephaestus-sama, actually, my surname is Hirata, and Yami is my first name. You can just call me Yami."

"Is that so, but you really have a unique name. Then I'll call you Yami from now on. Lay down quickly. I'm going to give you the falna."

Taking a deep breath, Yami suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded, took off his shirt, and lay down on the soft couch.

"I'm going to start."

After finishing the words, Hephaestus skillfully cut her finger and dripped her blood onto his back.

The cold feeling came over in an instant. Before Yami could feel it carefully, a blazing flame appeared on his back, and a hammer appeared on it, symbolizing Hephaestus's familia.

Afterward, dense sacred writing climbed up Yami's back.

Yami suddenly felt something in his body open.

"Ding, an unknown energy source has been detected, the traversal simulator system is officially activated, and it is being activated..."

At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly appeared in Yami's mind, which shocked him like a divine enlightenment, and he was stunned.

So I also had a system!

"The traversal simulator system has been successfully activated. The functions are as follows. Please explore them by yourself."

After the voice fell, the mechanical notification sound of the system disappeared, and a white screen appeared in front of him, which undoubtedly shocked Yami.

But after confirming that Hephaestus couldn't see it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, now was not the time to study the system.

With a thought, the white screen in front of him disappeared in an instant. Yami suppressed the excitement in his heart, tried to regain his calm, and waited for the falna ceremony to end.

"It's over. Put on your clothes, but I didn't expect you to have a skill. It seems that I really found a treasure~"

Hephaestus picked up the paper from the side, engraved with Yami's status, then patted the latter's relatively strong back and handed it over.

"It's just that your skills seem a little strange."

"Eh?"

Yami was a little puzzled. After thanking her, he reached out, took the paper with his status engraved on it, and looked at it.
