After 2 long hours, Ethan finally saw another window appear.

------------------------------------------------

'Wait, why my SS and SSS stat are S now?'

At his words, Light immediately replied

[I did this when Loki was viewing your Status because if she found out you had an SSS stat without even a Falna, that would have been too troublesome. I think it's better to show her a gradual growth instead of something so strange, remember there are always people in this world you have no hope to fight right now.]

Her words made Ethan think about the powerhouses in the Danmachi world. Although someone like the Zeus and Hera familia wouldn't appear so soon, it isn't an exaggeration saying that Heroes could wipe him out like nothing, even if he tried the explosion with 10 bubbles of mana.

["I understand Light, could you explain the [Falna]? I want to know what you did in these 2 hours"]

Light immediately processed information him would be able to understand before, instants later, she replied

[Yes, the [Falna] had a lot of limitations and, one of these, were related about Levels, basically a monster of level 2 won't drop any [Experience Points] to a level 6. I couldn't change much, but I managed to set it differently, although you won't be given the same XP you could gain from a level 6 monsters, monsters will always drop you some XP. I upgraded the System's Function, the [Falna] you will gain from monsters will be added to your [Status Board] randomly every level up, for this function to work, you have to reach an amount setted and that will be more difficult every level. About the Level up itself, you can level up with stats all I from Level 1 to 10 but obviously you won't gain exactly nothing. My advice is to get all your stats to a fixed threshold before levelling up, something you wanted to do from the start, the (+) will be added by me in your Status Board every time I think you reached the conditions to level up].

Ethan, was shocked by all the work she had done about the [Falna] because he knew how difficult it could be for someone that wasn't Bell to even level up, but now he knew that levelling up will be the last of his problems.

He decided to 'greet' the other members of the Loki Familia now that he finished with his affairs, so, with a smile on his face, he quickly exited his room and went to the room where Loki and all the core members were located.

He entered without even knocking, something picked up by every member located in the room. Upon his entry, everyone had eyes on him while Loki quickly came to his side before saying

"He is a new member of our familia, His name is Ethan, and he has a pact with me so treat him well!"

The first person to react to his presence was a Werewolf with Light grey hair, amber eyes. He immediately locked eyes with Ethan before shouting

"You are the shitty level 1 that dares to try to entry between our ranks like nothing?!? Just because you have a rare-type of magic that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!!"

He was obviously Bete, someone Ethan knew from the anime because he was always pissed off by his stupid behavior, and, knowing he would likely try to act with him in the same way, Immediately pissed him off more than he thought, he knew he wasn't a match for Bete right now but, with his [Qienta's Blessing] help, his Aura became more dense by the second, something picked up by the two Elves present in the room and Loki herself.

One of the two elves, with jade eyes and hair, said to Bete

"Calm down, we are members of the same Familia now".

At her words, Bete was even more pissed off than Ethan while he started to shout again

"Huh!? You want to consider this rookie one of our members? Are you insane, Riveria!?"

His words made Riveria close her eyes before re-opening them and looking at the 'boy' in front of her as a smile appeared on her face.

"You are underestimating him, Bete, the Aura he is emitting is so powerful that even a level 2 would be troubled to move in normal circ.u.mstances"

Bete wanted to say something more but, before he could try, Ethan smiled, saying in a calm tone

"If you think you can say whatever you want, you are wrong, I'm not that simple, you know? Say what you want right now, but I won't forget your behavior"

There was a tense atmosphere in the room, but that didn't last long before an Amazoness with black hair and brown eyes happily went near him while she said

"So cool! You have the guts to talk to Bete like this, most people are scared by him but you, a level 1! I want to see how far you will go!"

Next to her, another Amazoness sighed before saying

"Tiona, calm yourself down, can't you even read the atmosphere a bit?"

Tiona, hearing her twin's words, simply 'dismissed' her with her hand before looking directly at Ethan.

Bete, obviously wanted to argue more, but before he could say something he was blocked again by a Dwarf with brown hair and eyes.

"Ye should stop, Bete"

Bete, Hearing Gareth's words, made a 'tch' sound before exiting the room, looking angrily at Ethan before he left. This caused the Pallum with blonde hair and blue eyes to sigh, something picked by all the members in the room before a laugh escaped Tiona's mouth.

"Interesting ~"

The pallum, Captain of the Familia, immediately had a smile on his face before saying

"Welcome in the Loki Familia, Ethan. I am the Captain of the Familia, you can call me Finn"

Ethan wasn't impressed by the attitude of his new Captain because he knew all the members in the room for what it felt like years. With a smile of his own, the aura completely dissipated while a large smile formed on his face.

"It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, Finn"

Finn, felt that the boy in front of him wasn't that simple, but he decided not to worry about such things because with the vows he took, he was sure he won't do anything bad to the familia itself.

Seeing the smiles of Ethan and Finn, every member present in the room immediately understood they needed to present themselves properly, so, without any hesitation, Tiona made a smile before clinging to his arm while saying

"I'm Tiona! It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, Ethan ~"

Tione, seeing her twin act this way, immediately tried to stop her while saying

"I'm Tione, it's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you…Tiona, stop"

The smile on Tiona's face didn't fade in the slightest while Ais came to help Tione remove Tiona from Ethan's arm, he knew that Amazoness had instincts that could be 'triggered' if a man shows strength in front of them but, the fact that Tiona's instincts was triggered so easily made Ethan happy.

Seeing the happy expression on his face, Tione wanted to facepalm because he was triggering Tiona's instincts a lot more than he thought, something Tione obviously knew.

After taking Tiona to another room, Ais returned while saying

"I'm Ais..."

Finally, with the opportunity to talk with her, Ethan's smile widened while he said

"I already knew you, can I call you Ais?"

Ais made a 'smile' before nodding her head without saying anything more but, the other Elf in the room immediately picked up the 'friendly' vibe between Ais and Ethan. Seeing the happy smile on Ethan's face made the Elf furrowing her brows, but she decided to present herself first.

"I'm Lefiya, it's a 'p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e' to meet you"

Ethan, immediately understood why Lefiya was acting this way at him but, he didn't care about such things because he was determined to befriend Ais, something she could do nothing about. He decided to treat her 'kindly', the same as Eina from now on.

"It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you too, Lefiya"

Lefiya, blushed a little because she expected him to react differently but, now that Ais' relationsh.i.p.s were at play, she didn't back down as she said

"Are you and Ais friends?"

This question had a reaction from Ais, the latter looked at Lefiya while saying

"I met him.. with Loki"

Lefiya didn't expected Ais' reply, so she nodded her head and decided it was necessary to understand more of the situation.

After this, Riveria decided to get into the situation, saying

"My name is Riveria Ljos Alf, Vice-Captain of the Familia".

Her words made Ethan look at her before he said

"It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, Riveria"

Being called so suddenly by her name made Riveria flinch but, she didn't let it show on her face.

Ultimately, the Dwarf in the room made a smile while saying

"tha name's Gareth, Welcome, Kiddo"

Ethan, knowing Gareth's personality, actually wanted to know him more, because his kind attitude always made him smile while he saw how caring on Bete he was.

"It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you, Gareth"

Loki, finally seen that they finished the presentations, so, with a smile on her face, shouted

"Ok! Now that we have a new member, we need to celebrate it, we will go to the Hostess of Fertility!"

Her words made Riveria sigh but, without any hesitation, she said

"Gareth, go and call Bete, Ais, tell Tiona and Tione to come too, we will do as Loki-Sama says"

At her words, Gareth and Ais went to call Bete, Tiona and Tione while the smile on Ethan's face finally dissipated before he said

"I need to see a person later, so I won't return with you in the Manor, is it okay?"

Loki, immediately looked at him with intrigue before saying

"Yes, but you need to return in the morning ~"

Ethan, nodded his head before taking a seat, waiting for Ais and Gareth to return before going with his new familia to the Hostess of Fertility.
