Capítulo 20: Threat

Of course, Charlie knew why Aphrodite's charm was ineffective on him. No, not just Aphrodite; even if he met Ishtar or Freya, the charms of the Goddess of Beauty would not affect him.

The Chosen Savior's Skill had four abilities, one of which was Charm Resistance. In other words, he wouldn't be charmed by the Goddess of Beauty.

Charlie had no obligation to reveal his Skill just to satisfy Aphrodite's curiosity.

*JIII~*

"Fine, since you don't want to tell me, let's just pretend I never asked."

Seeing his silence, Aphrodite gave up. Instead, she hadn't given up on inviting him to join her Familia.

"Mortal, as long as you agree to join my Familia, you'll have a special privilege that every man desires."

"Oh, a special privilege?"

"That's right. You can interact with Harmonia! Isn't that wonderful?"

"Harmonia? Who is that?"

This was the first time Charlie had heard the name.

"No way, you don't know Harmonia? She's a singer and actress in an opera company I run. Harmonia is a Diva whose fame is known all over the world! Even if you're not from Orario, you should have heard of her, right?"

"Sorry, I haven't."

"Guh..."

That honest answer wounded Aphrodite's pride.

The Aphrodite Familia wasn't an exploration Familia but ran an entertainment industry. Harmonia was the main star, and her performances captivated everyone who witnessed them.

Aphrodite was very proud of Harmonia, whose reputation had spread worldwide, more so than the First-Class Adventurers in Orario.

"Hmm... Goddess Aphrodite, let me take you back to your Familia's headquarters. It's dangerous to wander without a guard."

Since things had gone this far, Charlie couldn't leave her alone in the forest.

"No way! It was hard for me to sneak out of Orario unnoticed, I won't go back without having some fun."

"At least contact your Familia members to protect you."

"Aren't you here? There's no need to bother my children."

How could Aphrodite let Charlie leave just like that? She still wanted to know more about him.

A Level 1 adventurer who had just been granted a Falna eight days ago, capable of defeating a Griffin—who would believe such absurd news?

Aphrodite wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Don't forget, the gods seek entertainment and amusement in the lower world. Once they find something that captures their attention, they won't let it go easily.

'Haiz... Bad luck, meeting such a troublesome goddess,' Charlie thought.

"Your expression looks like you're reluctant to accompany me? Mortal, you should feel honored to be with the Goddess of Beauty! Who knows how many men would line up if I announced I was looking for a bodyguard."

"Is it that obvious?"

"You're not even trying to lie!"

"What's the point of lying, anyway?"

The more Charlie ignored her, the more Aphrodite didn't want to let him go. This was the first time she'd met a mortal who rejected her so strongly.

"Anyway, I'm not going back to Orario."

'Should I use Spirit Art to put her to sleep, then carry her back to Orario? Setting aside whether Spirit Art would even work on a god, I don't know the way to Orario.'

"You're planning something bad, aren't you? I warn you, if you dare force me back, I'll spread the news that you impregnated Harmonia. As soon as you arrive in Orario, you'll be a public enemy!"

"..."

Seeing Aphrodite smile while openly threatening him, Charlie's eyes twitched slightly. Judging by her behavior, she was likely to follow through with her threat.

In his previous life, Charlie had been slandered by politicians afraid he would interfere with their shady business dealings. He didn't expect that even in his second life, he would be slandered by Aphrodite if he didn't meet her demands.

"Alright, you win, Goddess Aphrodite."

After thinking for a moment, he agreed. He was still too weak and not ready to make the world his enemy.

"A wise decision. You don't know what kind of crazy actions Harmonia's fans would take if they found out you impregnated the Diva in their hearts."

"That's a vile slander!"

"Which would people believe more: an unknown adventurer or the Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite? Moreover, Harmonia is part of my Familia, so the credibility of the news I spread would be more trustworthy."

"..."

Charlie could only remain silent because Aphrodite's statement was true.

"Alright then, let's go. Does Goddess Aphrodite have a place you'd like to visit?"

"Take me to see Hera. It's been a long time since I've seen her, and I want to catch up."

After saying that, Aphrodite threw herself into Charlie's arms.

"Goddess Aphrodite?"

"Carry me like you did before."

"Yeah."

With no other choice, Charlie carried her in a princess carry style.

Manipulating the wind with Spirit Art, he gently floated into the air.

"Whoa, you can fly without any equipment! Even Perseus (Asfi) can only fly using her self-made magic items."

Wrapping her slim, delicate arms around his neck, Aphrodite exclaimed in amazement.

"Hey, mortal, how do you do that? Tell me."

"Goddess Aphrodite, I have a name. Stop calling me mortal, or I'll drop you and send you back to Heaven."

"You wouldn't dare!"

Aphrodite glared at him, trying to intimidate him.

"Of course. As long as Goddess Aphrodite is no longer in the lower world, that means I won't have to worry about your threats."

It was just a bluff. Charlie didn't want to break the taboo of killing a god. Not to mention, there was a risk Aphrodite might retaliate by unleashing her Arcanum.

"There's no member of Hera Familia who isn't crazy."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Tch, who's complimenting you? Charlie, you're just as crazy as the Empress and Hera."

Since the threat failed, Aphrodite had no choice but to comply.

No one wants to deal with a madman.

❀❀❀

"Hera, long time no see. How have you been?"

Barging through the door, Aphrodite entered with fanfare.

"Aphrodite, how did you find me?"

Seeing it was her acquaintance, Hera didn't show joy; instead, her eyebrows furrowed in displeasure.

"Your child saved me when I was captured by a Griffin. I must properly express my gratitude."

That was a lie. In fact, Aphrodite just wanted to have some fun.

"Forgive me, Goddess Hera. I actually didn't want Goddess Aphrodite to come, but she threatened me with a vicious rumor."

Emerging from behind Aphrodite, Charlie apologized.

"I see. You're still as childish as ever, Aphrodite. No wonder Ishtar looks down on you."

Not sensing any lies, Hera didn't blame Charlie. She knew Aphrodite well since they both came from Heaven and wasn't surprised the latter would do such a thing.

"Hmph, Ishtar's just jealous of me and Freya. Among the three Goddesses of Beauty, she's ranked third."

Aphrodite sat across from Hera, swinging her legs.

"Charlie, make me some tea."

"..."

"Mm."

Receiving Hera's nod, Charlie reluctantly went to the kitchen to prepare the tea as Aphrodite requested.

"Hey, Hera, give Charlie to me. I like him."

Charlie, in the kitchen, almost dropped the glass upon hearing Aphrodite's words.

"No." Hera replied with one word.

Considering Charlie's extraordinary abilities, she had anticipated that Aphrodite would become interested in him.

Of course, Hera wouldn't indulge Aphrodite's selfish desires.

Capítulo 21: War Game

"If Charlie remains in your Familia, it's like letting a diamond stay among rocks! You and Zeus are banished from Orario and not allowed to return. Without the Dungeon, Charlie cannot progress. Do you want your child's power to stagnate and not develop because of your selfishness?"

Expecting rejection, Aphrodite presented facts to Hera to allow Charlie to move to her Familia.

What she said was the truth.

The reason Orario monopolizes adventurers is because of the existence of the Dungeon.

For the people of the lower world who have received the Falna from the gods, the fastest way to gather Excelia is by killing monsters.

Although there are monsters outside Orario, they are few in number and scattered, making it difficult to find them. In contrast, there is a continuous supply of monsters in the endless Dungeon.

In the Dungeon, every time a monster is destroyed, they will naturally reappear after a certain period of time. Thus, adventurers do not need to compete to hunt monsters.

Furthermore, monsters in the Dungeon and in the outside world are different.

Defeating monsters in the Dungeon will provide valuable magic items and drop items. Both of these are a source of income for adventurers. Whereas monsters in the outside world only leave corpses after being defeated.

One does not need to be smart to determine which option is more beneficial between the two.

"My answer remains the same. I will not hand over Charlie. I don't need your reminder, he will go to Orario sooner or later." Hera said calmly.

"Why are you so stubborn?! Although there is no prohibition for members of Hera Familia to return to Orario, without your presence there, they cannot update their status!"

Aphrodite furrowed her brows, not understanding why the others did not realize this.

The only role of the gods in their Familia is to provide Falna and update status.

No matter how much Excelia is collected, without a god helping to update the adventurer's status with divine blood, the adventurer will not make any progress.

"It's none of your business. I have my own way of handling this issue."

Crossing her legs, Hera looked at the annoyed Aphrodite with a thin smile.

The Chosen Savior Skill has four abilities, and one of them is: 'Status can be updated independently just by using god's blood.'

In short, Hera only needs to give him a certain amount of blood, and then Charlie can update his status himself.

"Grrr... You never change, Hera."

"You too, Aphrodite. Let me guess, you used your charm on Charlie, right? But it failed, that's why you persuaded me to give him up."

"Hmph."

Aphrodite snorted and turned her head away, Hera's guess hitting the mark.

"Here's your tea."

Charlie entered with tea and placed it on the table. Of course, he overheard the conversation between the two goddesses. After serving the drink, he stood behind Hera like a guard.

Hera sipped the tea gracefully and said, "This topic ends here."

"Wait, I'm not done yet!"

"Enough, Aphrodite. If you want to take Charlie from me, let's start the War Game."

"..."

Hearing the term War Game, Aphrodite calmed down again.

War Game is one way for Familia to resolve major disputes without involving the entire city in direct conflict. War Game usually has different rules, depending on the agreement or challenge presented, such as large-scale battles, duels, or castle sieges.

War Game is held only when disputes between Familia cannot be reconciled.

"Are you serious, Hera? Your Familia is not as strong as before."

Aphrodite was puzzled by where Hera's confidence came from to challenge her in the War Game. Although Aphrodite Familia is not an exploration Familia and does not have First-Class Adventurers, there are still some Second-Class Adventurers.

On the other hand, Hera Familia has lost all First and Second-Class Adventurers, leaving only Third-Class Adventurers to guard the base while the main forces are on expeditions.

"Do I look like I'm joking with you?"

"Forget it, I give up. You're insane, no wonder Zeus hides from you."

Raising her hand in surrender, Aphrodite could only look at Charlie with regret for losing such an interesting human.

"But let me stay here for a few days, I'm bored in Orario. At least you can fulfill my request, right?"

"Do as you please."

"Very good."

To her surprise, Hera agreed easily. Although she had prepared a lot of rhetoric in her mind. Aphrodite glanced at Charlie with a sly smile while sipping her tea.

❀❀❀

Night.

After finishing his sword training routine, Charlie dried his sweaty body with Wind Spirit Art.

Entering the house, he saw Aphrodite sleeping on the sofa. Her revealing clothes showcased her beautiful figure, hard to ignore.

Seeing this, Charlie covered her body with a blanket. Then he knocked on Hera's door and entered after receiving permission.

"Tch, dealing with straight men seems very annoying."

Opening her eyes, Aphrodite clicked her tongue in annoyance because her seduction failed.

If there were any other man in this situation, he would not hesitate to undress and pounce on her like a wild beast.

"But... It's not bad to be treated without lust once in a while." Aphrodite murmured softly.

On the other hand, after Charlie explained his intention to update his status, Hera did not refuse.

Then, Hera pricked her finger with a needle, a drop of her divine blood fell on Charlie's back as he lay on the bed.

The Sacred Text that only gods could read appeared. Hera promptly updated the status.

"Is... Is there something like this?"

Seeing Charlie's latest status on his back, Hera could not contain her astonishment.

"Goddess Hera? Is something wrong?" Charlie asked worriedly.

"You are the most extraordinary creature from the lower world that I have ever seen, Charlie."

Without explaining the reason for her surprise, Hera completed the status update ritual, copied it onto parchment, and handed it to him.

"See for yourself, then you will understand how extraordinary you are."

Taking the parchment, Charlie began to read.
