My second day of diving was another rousing success.
Following the morning return, i returned to my selected inn, and sleeping for a few hours to recover,
My power had been rapidly increasing thanks to the power of my self-falna.
At the pace I was going, I would outstrip the title of fastest rank up to Level 2 from Bell by a couple of weeks.
A pace of growth that would make every gods head turn towards me with greed, while adventurers would turn their own heads in envy.
But perhaps it was a blessing in itself that the guild wouldn't register him.
If he had registered, news of his rank up would be made public knowledge, but as a unregistered adventurer relative anonymity was a more than acceptable tradeoff for his reduced income due to needing to sell using the black market instead of the guild.
Of course this wouldn't remain that way for to long, once word of his repetitive dives circulated the guild would investigate, and with that spies within the guild would pass the information along to the high ranking gods within Orario right now.
Specifically, Goddess Freya.
The goddess of Beauty who was always on the hunt for talent, her Familia being about quality not quantity.
She was one of the most corrupt goddesses walking the earth to this day.
When the gods descended to earth they were required to seal away their divine powers, since to unleash divine powers down on earth would result in cataclysmic damage many orders above what the Black Dragon was capable.
The sealing was performed on the gods very being, making them not much better than mortals when on earth, only able to use their divine powers in small cases.
Typically when enraged with their power slipping through the seal in a form of imtimidating pressure.
But for the trickier gods and goddesses they had found ways around the sealing.
In Freya's case, her primary body, the body of Goddess freya was indeed bound by the seal, though her body itself being created by her divine power still radiated with her power.
Beauty, such beauty that it was capable of ensaring men and gods alike in her clutches almost to the point of hypnosis.
Then later on she implanted a portion of her power into a mortal being Syr.
This implanted power though potent was not restricted by the binding of the seal.
This allowed the Goddess to use Syr like a puppet, taking control of the Elf, to view the world through her eyes, to witness the world as she should through her divine sight.
And where all gods only had the sight to witness if a mortal was lying to them or not, Freya had the additional ability to see the potency of someones soul.
The soul being the foundation of ones Falna.
If your soul was weak, your potential as an adventurer was bleak.
So using her sight Freya as Syr roamed the city streets or watching the adventurers who came into her Restaurant, the Hostess of Fertility.
Though officially the resturaunt was run by a retired member of her Familia, Mama Mia.
A level six powerhouse of Freya's lineup.
This site was a source of major problems and one that would be avoided above almost all others, at least until Neme was assured in his ability to resist Freya.
As a mortal he would be suseptable to her hypnotic beauty.
Though perhaps his hidden skill to deal with gods would make him immune to any of her attempts.
But that in itself posed an issue.
If he was without a falna, and she took an interest in him.
She would seek to gain him for her collection.
But if it was found during her acquisition of him that he was able to nullify divine power, well that would be like declaring to all of orario that he was a being able to resist the gods, perhaps even kill them.
Which after he pulled of his first divine cleansing would point all fingers to the crime right at him as suspect number 1, and public enemy number 1.
A human able to kill gods, was something the gods themselves would fear, but the people of the land, would equally fear him.
The death of their god would strip them of their falna, and thanks to the restrictions placed on adventurers upon having their Falna stripped they would be unable to join another familia for a year.
And entire 12 months their skills and expertise as combatants would be useless.
A year of having to live off of whatever meager saving they had kept rather than spending it on, arms, armour, potions, or just living the high life with good food, drink, and companionship.
Luckily at least, the first god on Neme's hitlist was God Soma.
A god with a familia that already was tearing itself apart from greed and addition.
If those adventurers lost access to the might brought about by their falna's the Ganesha familia who prided themselves on being Orario's effective police force would be hard pressed to deal with the unleashed former Soma Familia.
Who upon losing the ability to farm money from the dungeon and extortion of their own members, would no doubt resort to extorting the regular citizens descending down like prisoners escaping from a prison.
But thankfully Soma familia is not a large or even mid-sized familia.
In total the soma familia membership included not more than 20 members.
And their power was locked in with only a single level 3, with most members being level one, and a couple level 2's thanks to their own gods inattendance and almost absolute refusal to update their falna's granting the Soma adventurers with their stat boosts.
So unlike if say Loki was slain instead of hundreds of wayward adventurers spilling forth into the streets, the loss of soma would only mean two dozen causing trouble nothing to really worry about.
But even still if Neme couldn't level himself up to level 2, he'd need to come up with a plan, a way to get near God Soma to do the deed, without his familia getting in the way.
If he managed to get his Strength, Agility, and Endurance to EX rank, he could easily deal with new or even middle tier level 2's.
But going up against the Level 3, even for a peak level 1, that's not something he could pull off, at least not unless he got his hands on a superior weapon to bridge the gap.
But for a newbie like him with so little time to prepare, sneaking around like an assassin would be the better route to take.
