Denatus(corrected)

The moment the skeleton died, it seemed that the goal of the skill had been completed, so it deactivated, making Mark feel a wave of pain.

"Gha!"

The pain in his arm was making him sweat uncontrollably, but thanks to the pain potion and from the fact that he had sustained worse injuries in the past, he was still able to stand, and it was for that reason that he had a happy expression. For the first time, he had faced a monster much stronger than himself without being in a disastrous condition, relying only on his sword.

'It may hurt, but it was completely worth it.' -Mark thought cheerfully, as he felt warm energy flowing through his body.

[Congratulations host, you just learned the manifestation of aura at the moment-]

"Mark are you okay?!"

Before the Guide could finish speaking, Tiona quickly ran over to Mark to see how he was doing. When she had arrived along with Aiz and Bete, they immediately started helping the others and when she saw the monster attacking Mark, she didn't hesitate and threw her weapon toward the spartoi killing it.

"Calm down Tiona, I have already taken a potion. The wounds on the body are superficial, the only problem is the one on the arm. Anyway I have to thank you, I wouldn't have been able to handle that monster much longer" -Said Mark honestly.

He knew his limits and even though he was growing a lot during the fight, his stamina was dropping just as fast, consequently increasing the injuries he would suffer or worse death, for that he was really grateful to the girl in front of him.

"O-Oh."

She had been too agitated earlier and hadn't noticed, but she had gotten very close to Mark to check on his injuries, but when she heard his thanks she recovered and took a few steps back embarrassed. Ever since she had realized her feelings for him, just being around him made her heart flutter and with all the advice Tione had given her didn't help, which was why she didn't know how to interact with him anymore.

"?"-Noticing Tiona's strange behavior, Mark was quite confused.

Usually, Tiona would always be cheerful or start talking about whatever came to mind, which was why he found her quiet behavior strange. Finding the situation interesting, he focused his gaze on her aura and when he managed to find the reason behind her behavior, his face twitched.

(Change of perspective)

While the Loki Familia were carrying out their exploration, the days in Orario were also passing, and today there would be the event that the gods were most interested in, the Denatus.

The Denatus was an event that was held every two months, between the highest floors of the tower of Babel. There, various topics would be discussed, including the alias of adventurers who had reached level 2 and while it may sound like something serious, it was nothing more than an event where the gods would gossip or make fun of others.

"This will be the 1,000th and something Denatus we hold, I Loki will be in charge of the meeting!"

"YES!"

"Tch, why does it have to be her?"

"The members of her Familia are doing an exploration, so she must be bored."

The two people that were whispering, on the large table, where all the gods that have at least one member of their Familia at level 2, were Hestia and Hephaestus.

"Leaving aside the formalities, let's exchange information." -Her words raised hell.

"Does anyone have anything interesting to report!"

"I heard that Soma has had his only hobby taken away from him by the guild!"

"Seriously?! Wait what is his hobby?"

"I don't know."

"I heard Rakia is preparing a new invasion!"

"Hey, Soma is crying curled up in the corner!"

"Haa I knew it would end like this." -Hestia sighed, looking at the scene hopelessly.

Even though it was her first time there, she had already heard about how previous Denatus were held, but this one surpassed her expectations.

"Alright calm down! Haaaa, from what I understand, we only need to take care of Rakia, I will alert the guild about it. Now I would like to talk about something, a strange monster has appeared these days, they appeared during the festival and on a safe floor of the dungeon, they are richly colored and their strength is around level 4." -Loki explained, looking at everyone's expressions.

"...I have heard that the Evilus has been more active."

"Don't you think that's a hasty statement?"

"How scary(ironic)."

'It seems it's not enough to bring them to the surface.' -Loki thought coldly. She had concluded that the events that were happening in Orario had something to do with some god, which was why she had released the news with the hope of finding them.

"First of all, I am Ganesha!" -The god said, standing on the table and striking a pose.

"Yes but now sit down." -Loki told him wearily.

'cough'

"I am sorry for the events that happened during the festival! Even though it was under my care, such an event happened, for that, I apologize! But I beg you, if you know anything about what happened on the 18th floor let me know, a member of my Familia died and I want to know why." -Said Ganesha, weeping.

Everyone felt sorry for him, it wasn't easy to lose a member of your Familia, especially if you cared about them, so they could understand his sadness. Unfortunately, that feeling of pity ended as soon as they heard his next words.

"Hashana why... why did you have to die while having sex?! I'm so jealous! Being seduced and killed by a hot and busty woman, I would have happily swapped!" -Falling to his knees, he shouted heavenwards at such cruelty.

'Haa, though I hadn't anticipated the change of atmosphere, it's for the best. With Ganesha's words, small or medium-sized Familia will know that it is impossible to handle such a situation with their strength, especially since my Familia got involved and Hashana's death. Those who have nothing to do with it will stand aside, while those connected to Evilus will make more obvious moves to handle the situation. Thank you Ganesha, your words will keep them in check.'

Loki thought as she hid her predatory smile behind her hand.

"Now that the sad topics are over, let's move on to the main event." -Loki said as she smiled.

"The naming ceremony!"(all)

"As you can see from the papers received, the first one is a member of the Set Familia."

"P-please be kind."-Said the god sweating with anxiety.

"Rejected."

"Nooooo!"

Seeing their malevolent smiles, the god Set could only cry out in despair. During the naming ceremony, the aliases that would belong to the adventurers who had risen in level would be assigned or changed. The people of the Lower World, viewed these names with respect and reverence, while for the gods, the names that were chosen, were able to make them cry out in agony.

"Now on to my favorite, Ais Wallenstein." -Loki said, holding up the picture of Ais.

"It's amazing, that such a young girl is already level 6."

"She defeated Udeus on her own."

"Then we agree to call her our wife?"

"Yeah!"

"Do you want to die?"

Seeing Loki's murderous look, everyone sat down in fear and decided to leave the old alias of Ais behind.

"Next up is another member of my Familia, though I think you already know him, Mark Tormeto."

'Murmurs'

"The new record holder and slayer of an early level 3 dragon-type monster, I wonder how he did it." -The one who had spoken, was the god, Hermes, with his usual smile full of interest.

Blond hair that reached up to his neck and orange eyes that hid his cunning. His appearance had made him a lady killer, and although at first, he might seem frivolous and playful, enjoying himself in perverse acts, his true nature was sharp and cunning, with excellent communication skills. He was also one of the gods who seemed to possess the most secrets.

"Who knows, Mark isn't the type to talk much, but aren't you the same? From what the members of my Familia have told me, it seems that the members of your Familia, are much stronger than they should be." -Loki said, returning the smile.

"Ha-haha dear Loki, I was just curious." -Knowing what she was referring to, Hermes could only release a fake laugh.

To make his Familia pay less tax, he hadn't told the guild the actual level of his Familia members and if they ever found out, he would have to pay twice what he owed. Just thinking about it gave Hermes chills down his spine.

"I know this sounds absurd, even I find such a feat difficult, but I think some of your Familia members will have seen him fighting that monster. A better proof than that I think there is not." -Loki said seriously.

"I can confirm your words."

"One of the members of my Familia had seen the whole scene, so I also confirm."

"Since his feat has been confirmed, what alias were you thinking of giving him?" -Freya asked her with a bewitching smile.

'Lustful bitch, I'll never give it to you.' -Insulting her mentally, she thought of a nickname to give him.

She had a lot of expectations of him, so she wanted to give him a good alias, but with his personality, he probably wouldn't like what she had in mind.

'Come to think of it, didn't Tiona often call him prince? Plus he didn't seem to mind, but it seems too simple' -After thinking momentarily, she decided on a name.

"Initially I had many in mind, but I think Lost Prince is the most suitable."

When Mark's alias had been decided upon, they moved on to the next adventurer, who was none other than Bell. He too had become famous in the last few days, he had reached level 2 a few days longer than Mark, plus he had faced a level 2 monster despite being level 1.

Initially, Loki would have been suspicious of such growth, but after seeing Mark's growth ability, she suspected that that boy also possessed it, but she was more interested in something else.

'Looks like he's the second boy she was interested in.' -She thought as she looked over to Freya, who was smiling at her amicably.

While they were deciding on the boy's alias, the gods wanted to bully her by assigning a ridiculous name to Bell, but it was thanks to Freya's intervention that it didn't happen and with the attitude that woman had, she would only meddle in things she was interested in. At the end of all discussions, Bell was given the alias Little Rookie.

"Now the last person is... 'cough' is Zoe Elpis of Hestia Familia."

The reason behind her pause was that she was momentarily attracted to the figure in the picture, but she wasn't the only one. Many of the gods were looking at her picture with interest, it would not be an exaggeration to say that her beauty rivaled that of Ais.

"She is indeed a beautiful girl."

"Who do you think is prettier, her or Aiz?"

"It's hard to judge from the picture, but I'd say this girl."

'Bam!'

"Now we propose an alias! I propose Aiz Is Better Than Me!" -Spreading her fist on the table, Loki wouldn't let anyone consider that girl better than her Aiz.

"Objection! Loki is saying this for personal reasons!" -Shouted Hestia angrily.

"Ehh and what would you like to do dwarf?" -Loki said taunting her.

"Come on Loki don't be like that."

"That's right, such a pretty girl deserves a good alias."-She said.

"That's why we've decided she'll be Titania." -The men said with a satisfied smile as if they had done a good job.

"Ok that's perfect." -Hestia said with a thumbs up.

"I will not allow that name to be written!" -With Loki's angry screams, another Denatus reached its end.
