Entering Freya's room.

"Freya sama, Are you going to stay up late", Asked Kai, as Freya mostly stays up late observing the city.

"Not today", replied Freya as she entered the bedroom, and turn on the lights, while Kai smiled and follow her inside.

After changing his night dress, Kai moved to the bed, and as always ended up being hugged by Freya while sleeping,

Meanwhile, Kai has already became accustomed to this sleeping pattern, during the two years, Now he even like being hugged by Freya.

I will check the card tomorrow, Kai smiled at the Goddess sleeping beside him and closed his eyes. Finally letting himself relax.

************

Kai wake up early, as he released himself from the hug and got down the bed. Kai smiled at Freya and sat on the sofa.

A new day, a new skill, Kai looked at the outside view, it was still dark outside.

Curse??, Kai stared at the information for a while before asking Code," What do it mean by taking over".

[< The information states that the moment the curse activates, the sealed being with taking control of your body>], Code replied.

"Do it mean I will never get my body back", asked Kai, He was curious, the curse seem very powerful, but If he had to sacrifice himself, then there is no more to talk about.

[< the being can only take control over your body for a limited time, As The seal system places on this type of being are the strongest of all>], said Code.

[< I say, you Integrate with the curse, It's a powerful curse, And it may be useful in life-threatening moments>], Suggest Code, [< And Even though the possibilities are low, if the demon agree with you, you will be able to use his powers without making the sacrifice>]

"Is the Demon King whatsoever strong, then how strong is the", asked Kai, he wanted to confirm the curse strength before making any choice.

[< According to the information, the Demon king Albus is a prime existence, His existence is even threatening to Several gods from the universe he belongs to. I think in this universe, He can easily take on any God or Goddess, He might even be called a God in this universe>], Code genuinely answer.

Kai can't help but stare at the card with his mouth wide open. To be called a God, Is this curse that strong. Won't I become the strongest Adventurer alive? Kai thought.

But it's no Fun letting Others fight my battle, Kai thought, as he gazed at the screen which was asking Kai if he wanted to integrate.

"Integrate", said Kai, even though he don't want it he can't unsee the powers the curse was Providing.

Suddenly Kai felt strong energy surging throughout his body, after a few minutes the feeling gradually faded away.

"Was that all, I remember Cremation was tougher to integrate", Kai commented to Code.

"Can I use the curse now", Kai asked inwardly, he has his doubt about the curse.

[< I don't recommend it, with your mind capacity, you will be only able to use the curse for 1 second before going to the state of mind xero>], explain code.

A single second, Isn't the consumption too much, thought Kai as he stare blankly at the glass wall.

[< If you are curious, why don't you challenge Ottar again today, Just wait for the moment and land down one blow while using the curse energy>], Code suggests, even he wanted to know its power scale in this world.

"You are right, I just have to check its strength on Ottar, hehehe", Kai said inwardly, as he quickly went to take a bath.

...

It's still 4 am, Kai, left the Babel tower, wearing a black long sleeve shirt, Black trousers, and a pair of ankle-high brown shoes.

Walking on the main streets, kai saw many Adventurers who were preparing for an early dungeon expenditure. Many shops are still Open, And they also seem quickly lively.

Meanwhile, Kai smiled at the scene, as he took a long breath, and said," Good Morning Orario", It's also Kai's first time walking so freely in the morning. As He always trains at this time.

After walking for some time, Kai stopped in front of an inn. After reading the signboard, kai curiously looked at the 2 store building. The front entrance has a set of double doors with wood carvings decorating the frame. The Hostess of Fertility sign can be seen on the left side of the entrance, as well as on an overhanging sign with a crossed fork and knife.

"Hostess of Fertility", Kai said as he smiled and thought, Hostess of fertility right that was the name of the inn, the former captain of Freya Familia have built after retirement.

The doors were slightly open, From where it can be seen the waitresses were cleaning the place from inside. Most of the waitresses seem to be around Kai's age or slightly bigger than him.

Kai was curious about the inn, as he have only heard about it, and never visited it or it can be said, he was not allowed to visit as he had to keep a low profile.

I will come by later, let finish the job first, Kai thought as he knew now he can come by anytime as he don't have to hide his existence anymore. He quickly turned his gaze at the path and moved forward.

"That's Kai right?", a voice came from behind, when he was about to leave.

Meanwhile, Kai was surprised a bit, it was not because someone called him, but there was a familiar tone in the voice,

Looking back, kai saw a girl, she seemed to be around Heith's age, she has bluish-gray hair that she keeps tied with a small knot in a ponytail style. Her eyes are the same color as her hair and she has a light peachy-colored smooth skin. She was wearing a leaf-colored knee-length long skirt. She was also wearing a slightly long half apron around her waist. She wears a pair of brown boots over black stockings.

Do I know her, Kai thought as he was unable to ignore the familiarity in her tone and voice. I don't remember meeting her before.

"Hey Code, Do I know her", Kai asked inwardly as he looked at the girl in front of him.

[< According to your memory, this is the first time you met her>], Code replied.

"Do I know you", Kai asked genuinely as he looked at the girl.

The girl smiled and replied, " No, It's the first time we met, But I have heard rumors about a small boy", She paused and reveals a cute smile at him and continued," And the boy seems to have white hairs according to the Rumours, so I guessed it was you as there are not many people with white hair".

Am I so easy to guess, Kai looked at the girl, Anyway I think it's okay now that Everyone knows me already,

"Sorry I didn't introduce myself, I am Syr, and I am a waitress in Hostess of fertility", Said the girl as smiled at Kai, and continued, "I heard many things about you from the Adventurer that came yesterday".

Something Is Wrong, Why am I getting similar Vibes from her, kai didn't answer as he looked at Syr.

"Sorry, I am running late already, I will come by later", Kai quickly cut the conversation short as he walked out of the Awkward situation.

While Syr smiled at Kai's back and didn't say anything, It seem to see was quite happy that Kai didn't talk with her longer.

Meanwhile, Kai continued walking towards the Commercial district of the Northwestern part of Orario. According to the information, the Hephaestus workshop is somewhere in that street.

What with that girl, Why was I getting a familiar vibe, Kai thought as he can't point out who's Vibes he was getting from that girl Syr.

After walking for an Hour, Kai finally arrived at the commercial district, Kai didn't stop as he moved forward,

Kai finally slow down when he noticed that most of the shops in these streets were weaponry or Forges...

It should be somewhere here, Kai thought as started searching for Adventurer, guarding a shop. Kai knew Hephaestus workshop will surely have security, whereas most people can't afford the place guard outside their shop because the guard's charges a lot of valis.

After searching for some times Kai finally found a workshop, wherewith four guards, guarding the workshop. And the shop also has the Hephaestus familia's crest mark on the door.

Got it, Kai smiled as he approached the Guards.

"Do you have permission", asked a Guard as he blocked Kai's way.

Permission??, wait it much be that paper, kai thought as he took out the paper, Freya gave him yesterday, as he thought, she said it will be useful, did she knew that I won't come with Ottar.

The guard took a look at the information on paper, as he looked at Kai and said," Wait here, I will first' let Hephaestus sama, know about your arrival",

He send his fellow Guard inside with the paper, while he looked at Kai and asked, "And you must be the Kai from the Freya familia right ".

Kai was surprised, It's already two people who guessed his identity, 'I am that famous', kai thought.

Kai doesn't know that currently, the whole Orario knew his name, even though they have not seen him, his characteristics like 130cm tall, white hairs and red eyes were known by all.

" That's me", Kai smiled at the Guard, Kai was happy that people actually knew him.

Hearing him the other guard's joined the conversation, Asking Kai questions like, "How it looks from the top of the tower", "How it feels while falling from the Tower", "Are the blue flames real", etc.

Kai didn't mind answering the questions, he slowly started answering all their questions.

" I also want to try it now".

"You must be insane right, You will die if you try".

" That's the problem man".

The guard's started discussing with themselves while the other guard that went inside, came out of the workshop.

"Hephaestus sama has called you inside", the guard said.
