The day Zetta receive his Falna..

"So? How about it? How does it feel?" Artemis look at naked upper body Zetta and asks.

"Though I didn't feel the insignia, knowing of having an tatto as big as my back made me puke" Zetta answered her in very different way as he really hate tattoos in his body.

"Fufufu, thats not what I'm talking about." Artemis covered her mouth as she chuckle and thought Zetta was joking

"Oh.. I didn't feel any, but..." after that, Zetta confessed about him having different from other human and his 'System'. Though, Artemis didn't believe at first but after he drop all of his loot in front of her, she was bewildered.

"You're not... Joking this time!?" She cober her mouth yet again to not drop her lower jaw.

"What do you mean 'Again'? I mean. you actually didn't believe me? Whats the point of you reincarnating the soul of the decease?"

"No? We're God but not an omniponent you think we are! We didn't know if the soul who travelled into our world is not reincarnator not until some God pick an interest of him. and do you have any Idea who sent you here?"

"No? I thought one of you called me here, unlike normal Isekai-ed who met their God. I came from the sky as if I was threw here like a trash"

"What Isekai-ed!? I mean. How should I know? We have an Arcanum but no more connection to souls after we descent here. And.. do you know who your God is? maybe they're in the connivance to one of the God who let you in here"

"What?! Theres such a thing!? Even Gods did that kind of thing?! Did my Gods sell me?!"

"Or help you.. maybe they doesn't accept how you died, so they let you have here"

"Huh!? Wait! You mean, there are many Gods as the Galaxies?!"

Hearing him, Artemis only smiled. "There are Iron Clad that needs to be followed. Like you mortals, we too created rules for us to follow.. breaking them is akin as murder in human realm. so don't ask me anything about how Gods of this and those, or I'll get angry.. understand?" As she pat his nose. Whilst he nod in return.

"Good.. as for your Status.. I don't know what kind of world you live in but that might help you defy this world rules.. of course if other Gods from Heaven knew that 'system' of yours —which is bend the original rules of this world—. Its either you'll get punish or the God who let you in. Or none. Its their decision afterall.."

"Then... I cannot resists if they decided to punish me?"

"You can, but thats not the issue here... I want you to explain to me all of your secrets" Artemis smiled yet again and Zetta nodded in repeatition

"Good good... then..."

The time when Zetta arrived at the City of Lucrios.. ten days after being cast away by the Old man..

It was in the City where robber or any evil doer are separated to inner city in which riches resides. An Inner City where Tycoons and businesses where. And an outer City in which poor resides. If one were to asks. This City is helpless..

and because Zetta came from the eastern region. After he entered the main gate, he have to passes through the outer city where Slum or Poor people lived. And according to the location where City guard pointed, the cheapest tavern and inn was there.

Zetta then jumped atop of the roof to avoid unnecessary trouble. But who would have thought, trouble itself welcomed him.

A guy covering face with red scarf jumped at two roofs away from Zetta. As after it leap up and saw him, it move its heel towards him. Thereafter, five person chased after it'. Noticing this unprecedented events, Zetta appraised the Boy and others. and the boy's name was Argo. a half breed human and elf. and with Argo's wooden sword, he parried one of the chaser and kick another, then jump back and thrust the others throat. He spun and kick the temple of the fourth and the face of the last person he first parried. All of them fell unconcious in a get go blitz attack of Argo but who would have thought not just five was chasing him. In all different roofs leaped more than 20 armed men with different variety of weapons...

Zetta wanted to get out of this but was stop by the half elf Argo..

"you know, its fate meeting you here? why not help me? You'll become a Hero too!"

"What Hero? just because you've been hunt to the death by this men, you're a Hero?" Zetta replied in annoyance

"Ye ye ye (no no no)..! I only save those in trouble as I, Argo cannot let bandits sold girls just for money! I'd rather kill myself than to not lend a hand of those who are in need!"

'The hell!? this guys are bandits!?'. He asks himself and look at armed men. This is his first time appraising a Person. No, this is the first time he uses his appraisal as this skill emerged not too long ago. But it only said from the information that they are an 'Adventurer' and not a bandit

"Are you guys really a bandit?" Is what he asks while finding himself being slash and dash by bandits by using horde tactics. Though, he swiftly dodge their crude fighting style.

"So what!? We're going to kill you anyway!" As one of them answered. Satisfied, he cut off the arm of the one who answered. Then another and another. Until majority of them have either missing arm or hands.

"Whoa! what a powerful fella, I didn't think I can find my greatest ally here!"

"Ally my ass.. either way.. I don't care... now, I finish doing business with you.. leave me alone at once" as Zetta started to walk again. ofcourse, the Bandits already run and hide for their lives.

"No no no! I haven't yet to give my thanks! So atleast let me!"

'The hell!? Is this guy have some screw lose!' Zetta thought so. "Alright! Said it now!.." as he feel irritated with its pure looking smile

"Before that. You're new here right?" (Argo)

"You can tell!? then why not said you have trying to said once and for all!?"

"hmm hmm, yes. I'm sure you are, as that Bandits are infamous as slave dealer. So not only slum but also in inner City knew their name or two" as Argo put his hand into his chin

"F*ck! Didn't you here me!? damn it.. either way.. Goodbye.." and started to leave Argo behind

"Owu.. chotomatte! (wait!).. are you going towards the tavern or an inn?"

Zetta didn't look at him but continued to move forward while Argo are still following his back. "I mean, if you want, you can rent an inn near the inner city but just as cheap as that inn, and a tavern at the same time. They have booze made by reknowned dwarves!!" Argo pointed at an inn Zetta is supposed to go and said a word.

But hearing his last word, Zetta gulp in secret. Though he didn't drink sake that much, he love tasting them. But made by dwarf? Isn't that rare!? Dwarves isn't existed at Strong World he played and because of that, he himself are making them inside the game. And was surprisingly delish and love by his customer. He sell them as limited edition because of its rare ingredient. That aside.. But who would have thought he can taste booze in this world! and made by dwarves!? not only that but also a reknown dwaves!!

And without showing his excitement.. he only response with "Yes".. but deep inside, his heart was racing.. 'F*ck! Atlast!!'
