章 2: Chapter 2 New World

Orario the Labyrinth city. The city is known for its dungeon that rests right below it. The dungeon is filled with monsters and has an unknown number of floors, the deeper you go the more difficult it gets. And right in the center of the city lies the tower of babel, the massive gray tower is used as a cover of the dungeon to stop monsters from pouring out.

The city of Orario has attracted many who wish to explore its dungeon. Many Gods have descended down from the heavens into the mortal world and many of those Gods have made Orario their home. These Gods create groups known as a Familia where a God bestows their blessing in the form of the falna onto members of their Familia. The falna allows one to surpass their mortal limits allowing them to grow stronger.

Now in the city of Orario, the sun has set and the moon shines in all its glory. The nightlife of Orario was soon interrupted by a bright golden column of light that erupted from a large distance away from the city. This light represented a God descending down to the world, many of the city's inhabitants who were awake at the time were awestruck at the sight. The Gods and mortals of Orario stared at the light thinking about which God descended and how will they affect the future of Orario.

...

…

'Is this really a Goddess?' Was the only thing on Adams mind as he stared at Aqua.

"WAAAAAHHH, I DON'T DESERVE THIS, TAKE ME BACK!!" Aqua was crying her eyes out, pleading to the heavens.

Adam elected to ignore the Goddess's crying and looked to his surroundings. It was dark but thanks to the full moon he was able to get a good look at his current location. A vast grassy plain with some small hills, next to them was a lush forest and in the far distance were snowy mountains.

"What to do now?" Questioned Adam.

"You must make your way to the city of Orario". A familiar angelic voice said.

Adam looked around but found no one, Aqua stopped crying wiping away her tears as quickly stood up. A bright golden portal opened next to them and out came the angel Adam saw before.

"Hello Adam and Aqua-sama, I'm here to give some guidance before I return to my duties, first things first, Adam present the card that you chose".

"This one?" Adam took out a card from his pocket, the card depicted a flaming greatsword.

"Yes, the card that you chose is known as the divine key of destruction, the Judgment of Shamash, a very powerful weapon". Stated the angel.

'Sweet, I didn't have much time to choose so I quickly chose this card which looked super badass, I guess it was worth it'.

"Now Adam push the card against your chest where the heart is, the card will be absorbed into your soul, allowing you to call upon the Judgment of Shamash whenever you want".

Adam raised the card and slowly pressed it against his chest. He felt notable pain from the heat inside his body, but it was nothing that he couldn't handle. After a few seconds the pain and the card disappeared.

"Now the divine key has been sheltered to your soul, some minor adjustments were made to allow your soul to house the divine key, but you don't need to worry, these adjustments will have no negative impacts on you. Also, the divine key is soul bound to you which means that no one else will be able to use the weapon nor take it from you". Said the angel.

"How do I use it?" Asked Adam.

"Simple you just need to think about it and will it to come forth".

Adam closed his eyes and after a few seconds a pair of twin futuristic pistols materialized in both his hands.

"Huh? Didn't I choose a sword?"

"Indeed, you did, the Judgement of Shamash has four forms, the twin pistols are the basic form. Due to the immense power of the divine key, you can only use this form for now until you get stronger, if you were to awaken any of the other forms your body would turn to ash in an instant.". Said the angel.

"Oh". Adam then quickly willed the pistols away.

"Now for the next thing, Aqua-sama, will you please bestow your falna upon Adam?"

"Tch fine. Said Aqua before walking up to Adam.

"Now then take off your shirt and lay down on your stomach". Commanded Aqua.

"Huh?" Adam was confused by her command, but the angel quickly explained what the falna is and how it worked. After that Adam took off his shirt and laid down. Aqua bit her finger and let a drop of blood fall onto his back, then she began forming the falna. After a few minutes she was done. The falna looked like a droplet of water with some strange runes on it.

"There, happy?" Said Aqua in a somewhat aggressive tone.

"Thank you Aqua-sama, now Adam you are ready". The angel materialized a compass and a map along with a backpack filled with supplies and two bedrolls tied under it.

"Now head west towards the city of Orario where your adventure awaits". A golden portal opened above the angel, and she slowly ascended.

"I pray for your success Adam and Aqua-sama".

"Wait wait wait!" Said Aqua as she tried to get to the portal but was too late and it wouldn't matter either way since if she did enter the portal she would have been kicked out.

Adam looked at the map, examining it he found some villages and towns they could pass through on their way to Orario. The trip should only be about three or four days, he believed.

"Should we get going Aqua?" Asked Adam as he looked towards Aqua only to see her rolled up into a ball crying once more.

'This is going to be a long trip.'
