'Bang—'
With a thud, Ethan collapsed onto the bed, finally yielding some good results after 30 consecutive draws.
Indeed, he had hit the jackpot, with only one [Magic Attribute: Imaginary Number] preventing it from being a total loss.
Although a decent reward, when converted, it required continuous completion of daily missions for 30 days to earn 300 diamonds.
It would take a month to accumulate that many diamonds, and now it could be said that he had exchanged them for 'Imaginary Number Attribute.'
Now that he thinks about it, it somehow feels like a loss.
After merging with [Magic Attribute: Imaginary Number], Ethan could sense a strange feeling around him.
However, he couldn't perceive the 'Imaginary Number Space,' reminding him that this wasn't the world of "Fate/Type-Moon."
There was no 'Imaginary Number Space' in this world.
(P.S: Whether there is an imaginary number space or not, just pretend it doesn't exist in the danmachi worldview. Every world has its own rules.)
Now, Ethan felt that his 'Imaginary Number Attribute' might be useless.
Without the 'Imaginary Number Space,' what was the point of having this attribute?
The world was different, the power system was different, and the rules were also different.
"Ah! My diamonds!!"
A mournful wail echoed in the luxurious room.
In the next room, Freya elegantly sat on her 'throne,' in front of her was a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through it, she could take in the entire view of Orario.
As the top level of the Tower of Babel, the building materials here were the best, and soundproofing was no exception.
Even if Ethan wailed on the other side, not a single sound could be heard.
Knock~ Knock~
"Come in~"
Sipping from her glass of liquor, Freya spoke like a queen.
Next, the door was pushed open, and then Ottar walked in.
"Is everything arranged?"
"Everything's arranged."
A very simple conversation, yet it revealed the situation between the master and servant pair.
For goddess Freya, Ottar offered everything—loyalty, faith, belief, and even feelings.
In return, Freya had absolute trust in Ottar.
"How does it feel?"
Freya asked Ottar with a charming smile.
"I can't figure him out. Although he's still very weak now, there's a power in him that makes my heart palpitate. Even though it was just a momentary outburst before, I felt a hint of threat."
"You feel threatened too? That's quite impressive."
Glancing at Ottar, Freya said with a smile.
All the Evils of the World, not to mention anything else, just this name alone was enough for her to remember.
As a god, she knew better than anyone what 'evil' was.
Clearly a weak human, yet carrying such 'pure evil.'
It was something hard to believe, especially since Ethan seemed completely unaffected.
"Lady Freya, what do you plan to do about him?"
"Ottar, I won't do anything. There's no need to pay special attention to him. The growth of a 'hero' cannot be without setbacks. His 'great deeds,' I will personally witness with my 'eyes.'"
"Yes, I understand."
For Ottar, Freya's words were everything.
Since Freya said so, he would unquestionably execute, no matter what this command was.
If the members of Freya Familia were 'raised' in an extremely harsh environment, then for Ethan, Freya chose to 'raise' him in a more unrestrained manner.
Setting him free, without restrictions or assistance, Freya was curious to see if Ethan could grow into a 'hero' or 'villain.'
After all, bearing the burden of 'All the Evils of the World,' he could never be an ordinary person among the masses.

Twilight Manor, the residence of Loki Familia.
Another Familia that, alongside Freya Familia, was known as the 'Twin Kings of Orario.'
They once drove the remnants of Zeus and Hera Familia out of Orario, thus ascending to their current 'thrones.'
"What did you say? Freya, that slutty woman, adopted someone on the street?"
Loki's face was filled with astonishment.
It wasn't surprising; after all, that was Freya, the famous goddess of beauty.
Not to mention humans, even gods lined up endlessly with just a beckoning of her finger.
As for the children in the lower world, just a single glance of her could captivate anyone.
The reason why Freya Familia is so powerful is definitely due to Freya's charm.
To gain Freya's favor, members went to extreme lengths, enduring hardships to become stronger, all for the sake of receiving the goddess's recognition and praise.
Does such an influential goddess need to support a child from the lower world?
"It's true, this incident happened on the street, and many people witnessed it," said Finn, the leader of Loki Familia, with a hint of doubt crossing his face.
As the leader of Loki Familia, he was not a foolish person.
On the contrary, he was very intelligent.
Regarding goddess Freya, he couldn't fathom why she would need to support someone when she could have any man she desired.
The man who was 'raised' is definitely not that simple.
"Could it be that slutty woman has 'seen' another promising talent, so she did this?"
Although the gods sealed their divine powers in the mortal world, some abilities inherent to the gods could still be used.
For example, Takemikazuchi, even without divine power, still possessed exceptional martial skills, enough to defeat level 3 adventurers.
Hephaestus could forge weapons that mortals could never craft in their entire lives.
Soma could brew divine wine, and once consumed, except for those with firm wills, they would become lifelong slaves to the 'divine wine.'
Freya, having 'eyes' to see through souls. The more shining the soul, the greater the potential.
Combined with Freya's charm, it was not surprising that she could establish the current powerful Freya Familia.
Now, Freya impulsively kept a man on the street, naturally leading Loki to make such speculations, which were quite reasonable.
"It's said that the guy was directly knocked unconscious and forcibly taken away by Ottar."
Finn added another sentence, further confirming Loki's speculation.
"Damn, Freya found another talented child, and it's definitely not a simple one for her to do it directly on the street."
As old friends who still cooperate frequently, Loki knew quite a bit about Freya's personality.
By various means, she would acquire the 'children' she had her eyes on.
Even those who had already joined other Familia were not exempt, and there is also the shadow of Loki in this, given the lucrative rewards Freya offered.
