(Riveria POV)
Why does this person have this much magic? Normally, the person has a limit for holding magic in their body.
But this person is full of it, it's so high that I felt it from inside the manor, someone as powerful as must be brought to our familia, but I must tell the goddess to behave in front of him at least.
(Allen POV)
"So what's your name?"
"Riveria Ljos Alf, just Riveria is fine."
"My name is Allen."
"Very well, Allen."
We started to walk inside the manor until we stopped in front of a door that looked different from the others.
'This must be the goddess room. I wonder if she is like Loki from Marvel.'
"Please wait here."
"Alright."
She went inside the room while waiting for her.
a few minutes later
"Come on in."
I opened the door, seeing a red-haired girl, a boy with yellow hair, and lastly Riveria.
"Umm, where is the goddess?"
I asked while I saw them holding their chuckle, except the red-haired girl.
"I'm here, you know."
oh
"Ah, so you're the goddess. Sorry, I'm new here."
That's a lie. For some reason, I thought of her as a clown here.
"Haa, that's ok, before I give you my falna, you must answer my questions."
I wish the questions isn't as hard as last time.
"First, why do you want to join my familia? There's also Freya, you know?"
"No, the Freya familia is all about submission to the goddess and getting stronger by themself."
"Isn't that a good thing for those who want to get stronger?"
"That's right, but they don't have something I want."
"Oh, and what is that?"
"teamwork. They all want to gain the goddess's attention, and they don't care about their teammates."
"..."
"So I came here for that kind of thing to trust someone to watch my back."
"Hmm, I like that answer."
"Good, anything else?"
"Yes, one last question."
"Why do you want to be an adventurer?"
That...I wonder why?
Is it because I want to be stronger, or is it something else?
"To explore the unknown."
"Hm?"
"Before coming here, I had too many responsibilities."
fighting without a rest and saving the world from the Radiance was too much, so I didn't want to continue, but the people I met there were also my friends who helped me with my quest.
"What kind of responsibilities are we talking about?"
"Before I talk about that, there's one thing I want to talk about.'
"What is that?"
"I'm not from this world."
"!" x3
Yep, all of them are surprised.
"That's something big to talk about. Do you want to talk about it?"
Loki asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, since I will join this familia, I need everyone to know me and trust me."
I started to tell them about the radiance who enslaved everyone because they forgot about her and the pale king, creating the vessels that don't have any emotions or ideas to seal it. Then he managed to find someone suitable, but he raised him, which led the vessel to have an idea about his family, and because of that, the radiance managed to control him.
"wow...That's a lot to take in, to be honest. So you became its new seal, right?"
"No, she's dead."
"Did you kill him?"
"No, I let the void kill it."
"The void?"
"A manifestation of the void which is said to be the god of gods and will consume other gods and realms with its power, leaving nothing behind."
"..."
"He's not coming, don't worry."
"Phew, now that's a bomb you drop there."
"Soooo I'm in"
"Yeah, I guess."
She looked at the yellow-haired boy, then at Riveria.
"I see no problem."
"Me too."
Both of them nodded with a smile.
"Good, now remove your armor."
"..."
"Oh, what are you shy?"
Loki said with a smirk.
"No, it's just...never mind."
If I told her something, she would shoot it back.
I begin to remove my upper armor, which shows my scars that I got from years of battle.
"Good, now lie down on your face."
"Ok"
I lay down on my face, looking at Loki, who had a needle to prick
"ow"
A drop of blood fell onto my back, creating a golden light with weird symbols.
"Now let's see what we got."
[Warning: putting a falna will result in locking the abilities and losing the power of the Host in exchange for boost stats.]
[Do you wish to continue]
'Yes"
[loading]
[Done]
[You may now complete the quest or reach a certain level to unlock some of the abilities.]
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
Loki shouted, which gained others' attention.
"Finn, come see this."
Loki put a paper on my back, then gave it to Finn.
----------------------------------
Name: Allen
Familia: Loki familia
Level: 1
Strength: 0 I
Endurance: 0 I
Dexterity: 0 I
Agility: 0 I
Magic: 0 I
Skill:
Embrace the void: using void tendril to consume the enemy gaining 200% of Excelia.
Drawbacks: The user must be in a state of calm focus and emptiness (a "void" of thought) when delivering the final blow for the skill to activate. Any attack made out of pure rage, fear, or panic will prevent the skill from triggering, as the emotional turbulence disrupts the "void."
Magic:
1. Desolate Dive / Descending Dark
Chant: "Fall to Nothingness
Effect: The user generates a dense, pressurized sphere of black energy (Void) around their body. They then forcefully slam downwards, creating a powerful shockwave that damages all enemies in a small area around the impact point.
Trait: It would have a powerful Guard Break effect, capable of shattering monster carapace or temporarily collapsing weak points in the dungeon floor.
2. Shade Soul / Vengeful Spirit
Chant: "Empty Flash"
Effect: The user fires a fast, crescent-shaped wave of Void energy that travels forward, piercing through the first target it hits and continuing to the next with reduced power.
Trait: It would have an exceptionally high Magical Penetration rating, making it effective against high Magic Resistance targets, but its area of effect would be very narrow.
3. Abyss Shriek
Chant: "From the Deepest Silence"
Effect: The user channels a massive amount of Mind to release an intense, sustained burst of black, coalesced Void energy straight upward. This damages all enemies directly above the user within a significant vertical range.
Trait: This spell would have the highest damage output of the Knight's magic, but it would have a very high Mind cost and a vulnerable full-body-chant time, making it situational.
