Familia Myth: The Adventure of the Card User

Chapter 2

I don't own anything, just the OCs that may appear.

[P.O.V. Takeshi]

I told Hermes about me being from another world, but I avoided having to talk about both knowing about the Class Cards and about the fact that from my point of view this world was fictional.

No... calling this world 'fictional' isn't gonna cut it anymore. This world now was as real as it was the risk of the Quest that I'm about to embark, I could die in here and no one would miss me back at my home.

I cut all ties with my family on Earth, I didn't have friends outside of my co-workers at my part-time job, my life was just studying to graduate from high school and then go to university, then earn some money to spent on my hobbies.

I can't say that I had a fulfilling life. But was this world worth risking my life for?

"What can I say except that I never expected to see a human from another world. The Lower World is sure interesting." Hermes says with his usual smirk.

While a normal person would either find my story being either a joke or just consider me crazy.

But there is the fact that in this world 'no one can lie to a God' no matter of how much of a good liar you are. Which means that the Gods have the ability to detect lies from any mortal existing in this world.

I tried to test if that worked on me as well, since I was not from this world.

So I told him that I was the prince of the country of my world, but he quickly saw through my lie.

Since he believed that I was from another world and not a prince, I am sure now that the God's liar detecting ability worked on me as well.

"Yes... I never thought that I would be ending up in another world. But since I do not know how to get back, I had to adapt to this world if I am to live here, that if I survive the Quest of Artemis-sama." I said a matter of fact, I don't have any dimensional warping ability that would let me to traverse to the multiverse like the Second True Magic of Zelretch, so I guess that I will have to live in here if I live through the Quest.

"You're taking this calmly than what one would expect." Hermes says after seeing the how collected I was.

Me taking this situation calmly was... an overstatement.

Because in reality I did my best to not freak out. I mean come on! I was about to go on a Quest where an entire Familia of Level 2 to 3 Huntresses were all killed off easily and there is me, an guy who was not even an Adventurer nor I belonged to a Familia whose fate of the world depended on.

How can I not freak out over this! I'm obviously scared, scared of dying or failing to live up to Artemis' expectations to complete the Quest or maybe even both!

"You're wrong, Hermes-sama. I'm not as calm as you make it out to be." I factly said without missing a point.

He gave me an calculating look before smirking and saying. "I guess you're not."

"I may be scared but... if I don't do this I might regret it in more ways than what I can think." What I said its true. Bell will not arrive in time, even if he did he would not be much stronger than me considering the fact that he hasn't arrived in Orario and wasn't even made into an Adventurer yet.

So it meant that it was up to me to slay the Antares and save Orario from the Arcanum of Artemis that was being used by the monster to destroy the Dungeon, if that happens, hell will break out and everything will go back like the ancient times of Argonaut and not even all the high-level Adventurers of Orario will be able to stop it.
