2 [2] Engraving Falna!

"August, how was your rest last night?"

"Not bad."

"That's good. Loki has some time now. Come with me."

"Okay."

August nodded, finally about to meet a god, even if it's a sealed god without divine power, it's still a deity.

Following Riveria's lead, they traversed through corridors, climbed up stairs, and finally reached a room.

Riveria pushed the door open, and August followed closely behind.

Upon entering, August saw three people inside.

A handsome young man with a small stature, a dwarf with a beard, and finally, a woman with red hair.

This lineup surprised August.

Wow, the three Top Executive of the Loki Familia are all here—The Braver Finn Deimne, and The Elgram Gareth Landrock.

Both of them are top-level adventurers at level 6.

"Are you the little guy introduced by Riveria? Doesn't seem to be anything special."

Loki squinted her eyes, appraising August and spoke slowly.

But being scrutinized like this, August felt that every inch of his body was being seen through.

Even if the divine power is sealed, and Loki is now like an ordinary person, she is still a goddess. Seeing through a mortal is simply too easy for a deity.

"Loki!"

August didn't mind, as he didn't have anything special. However, Riveria, who brought him here and invited him to join the familia, was not pleased.

She brought him here and now, being talked about like this by Loki, not only did it make her uncomfortable, but it was also quite impolite.

"Alright, alright. Since you're introduced by Mom, I'll show you some respect."

"I'm not your mom!"

"Hehe."

Loki responded insincerely, but clearly, she didn't care.

Riveria sighed, not for the first time. However, Loki is her familia goddess, and there's not much she can do.

"Well, kid, tell us, why do you want to join our Loki Familia?"

Loki stared at August, slowly opening her narrowed eyes.

In an instant, the casual atmosphere disappeared, replaced by a terrifying pressure.

"To survive!"

Although startled, August quickly adjusted his mindset.

"Huh? To survive? Your answer is quite interesting. In the entire Orario, people are here for money, fame, and power. All kinds of people. But your answer is indeed rare."

"Ambitions need support! Desires need capital! And now, I have nothing. So, all I seek right now is one thing: to survive. Only by staying alive can I have a future!"

"Interesting! Can such a weak person like you support your ambitions?"

"Who knows about the future?"

August said slowly, but his eyes were full of confidence.

Observing August, who seemed weaker than an ordinary person, Loki couldn't figure out why this kid was so confident.

This confidence had reached the level of arrogance and even pride.

As a goddess, she could feel that August's confidence was firm, yet he lacked strength. Regarding talents or anything extraordinary, if he had any, he wouldn't be this weak now.

"Kid, you're quite interesting!"

Loki squinted, looking at August with a slow response.

As a goddess, she was curious about August. She wanted to know where his 'arrogance' came from.

Riveria looked at August with some doubt and confusion, while Finn and Gareth smiled, as Loki's attitude had already decided everything—August would be their new companion.

"Alright, kid, we agree!"

"It's truly an honor, Goddess Loki!"

"Interesting kid, let us witness your ambitions. So now, take off your clothes!"

This sudden change in atmosphere caught August off guard.

Riveria and the others had a 'just as expected' expression.

In less than three minutes, after playing around for a bit, everything returned to normal. This was just how Loki is.

"Just take off the upper garment, Loki will engrave falna for you."

Riveria couldn't help but explain.

August understood, as the falna panel was engraved on the back, covering attributes, skills, and even magic.

As a man, August didn't have any reservations. He took off his shirt and turned his back to Loki.

"Kid, your body is weak, not much muscle, and no abdominal muscles."

Loki didn't immediately engrave falna. Instead, she examined August's body, even reaching out to touch him a few times.

But this was understandable. As an otaku, August didn't have a big belly, that was the result of regular exercise.

However, when compared to the people of this world, he was still lacking.

In all seriousness, if August went out to fight an average person in this world, there would be very few he could defeat.

"Loki!"

Riveria couldn't stand it any longer and shouted.

"Alright, alright, let's get started. Don't get angry."

After being scolded by Riveria, Loki quickly took out a needle, gently pricked her own finger, placed it on August's back, and let the blood trickle down, leaving a bloodstain on August's back.

August felt a chill, and then it seemed like something was merging into his body.

Then, divine words began to appear behind August.

Riveria, Finn, and Gareth all looked over.

[Augustus Divus Pracentum]

[LV·1]

[Strength: I·0]

[Endurance: I·0]

[Dexterity: I·0]

[Agility: I·0]

[Magic: I·0]

[Skill: Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure (Can collect all the treasures in the world, increases with the growth of the collection)]

[Magic: None]

[Development Abilities: None]

After seeing the description of 'Gate of Babylon: King's Treasure,' Loki laughed.

Because unlike magic, skills are born from the thoughts and possibilities in the owner's mind.

Many extraordinary skills, fundamentally, originate from the holder's ambitions.

The so-called 'possibility of humanity,' at this moment, was vividly demonstrated by the grace.

Because of the determination and thoughts in his heart, with the help of divine blessings, this miracle was born—this is the essence of 'skills'.

So now, Loki became even more interested in August. He could collect all the treasures in the world, which meant August's ambition was to possess all the treasures of time.

Moreover, the name—King's Treasure!

This indicated that August's ambition was not just limited to the treasures of the world.

[Become an adventurer: Join a familia, receive falna from gods, and complete the reward: Draw one normal gacha!]

The system's prompt sounded, a sound that was so pleasing to August's ears. No other sound could compare to the joy it brought.

August was unaware of what Loki was thinking. Right now, he just wanted to go back quickly and draw a gacha.

August was indeed arrogant, but it stemmed from the system he possessed, not his own ambitions.
