Multiverse Gacha

[86] Title – Collector!



Back in Orario, August and his group separated from Bell.

After all, they weren't companions from the same familia. Upon returning, August naturally had to go back to his familia, while Bell had to go to the guild to exchange magic stones.

Bell was quite looking forward to the welcoming gift from her newly acknowledged big bro, August. Currently, she and Hestia were still living in a dilapidated small church, and even having a proper meal was a problem.

Today was Bell's first day out, and being able to bring back some money would be a good thing, relieving the pressure on Hestia.

On the other hand, August's group returned to their familia headquarters in high spirits.

Being observed by countless people along the way, especially August, he had become thoroughly famous. All members of August's group were top level adventurers of the Loki Familia. August walking with them proved that he had the qualifications to match.

Many people secretly remembered August's appearance, saving themselves from future troubles with someone so formidable.

Finally, upon returning to the familia's residence, the Twilight Manor, Finn and the others, who had just returned from an expedition, all smiled. Life in the dungeon was comfortable, so returning meant taking a good rest.

"We're back!"

Tiona shouted loudly at the entrance.

"The expedition leaders have returned."

The people on duty today hurriedly greeted those below, and the tightly closed gate slowly opened.

"Ohh..."

At the moment the gate opened, accompanied by cheers, a figure rushed out quickly.

"Welcome back!"

Loki jumped towards Ais's location, with a clear purpose, to tackle Ais.

However, Ais adeptly dodged to the side.

Next was Tione, Tiona, all evading Loki's attack.

Only in the rearmost position, the consistently low-spirited Lefiya became Loki's target.

"Yah, Lefiya, let me see how you've developed these days."

Bang!

The elf girl let out a scream, and then she flung Loki away.

After all, she was a Level 3 adventurer. Although her strength wasn't high, flinging a person away was more than enough.

"Hmm? August, why are you back so soon? Didn't you go challenge Goliath?"

Loki suddenly noticed August among the crowd, feeling a bit puzzled.

"That's right. When we returned, we happened to run into August on the expedition to defeat Goliath."

"So? How did it go? Did he succeed?"

"He did. August single-handedly defeated Goliath, accomplishing a great feat."

"That's excellent! I also have good news to tell you."

Loki jumped with joy, smiling at August.

Now August was curious. What good news did Loki have?

"What's the good news?"

"Today is the day of denatus. Since you just leveled up to Level 2 as an adventurer today, your title is decided."

This sentence immediately piqued the interest of everyone present.

You see, the titles given by the gods during denatus were just a way for the gods to pass the time. Every year, quite a few people would be given some incredibly cringe-worthy and embarrassing titles.

Titles like 'Raging Warrior,' 'Cruel Tyrant,' 'Dreadful Ghost,' and so on.

Most of the unlucky adventurers with such titles were usually lower-ranking familia members. After all, among the gods, there was a mutual understanding to save each other some face between powerful familia.

"What's the title?"

August was naturally curious. After all, Loki was goddess from top familia, his title couldn't be that bad.

"Collector!"

"Huh?"

"That's right, Collector. Your ability to store items is already known to many. Although I don't know who leaked the information, it's indeed known."

August didn't mind it. After all, he had never thought of hiding this ability. Besides, he found the title acceptable in the end.

But compared to Ais's Sword Princess, Finn's Braveer, Lefiya's Nine Hell Princess, and Bete's Fenris, his title was indeed less imposing.

Collector, at first listen, sounded more like a logistical personnel.

Now it didn't matter what was said, denatus had already ended, and everything was finalized.

"Alright, today marks the end of the expedition. To celebrate, the Hostess of Fertility tonight won't let anyone leave without getting drunk."

Loki suddenly announced at this moment, deciding the evening banquet.

Everyone laughed. Loki was clearly indicating her intention to host a party, and it had nothing to do with whether they had just returned from an expedition or not.

However, this wasn't the first time, and everyone had gotten used to it.

"Oh, Loki, help me update my status. I think I should be able to level up."

"Alright, indeed, you're now Level 2. Being able to defeat Goliath on your own is a significant achievement. But you're quite terrifying, kid, reaching Level 3 in less than two months."

Loki's words echoed the sentiments of everyone present.

Especially Lefiya, who had spent several years learning and had the guidance of Riveria. It took her several years to reach Level 3, and here was this kid achieving it in less than two months.

The group entered the familia, and then they dispersed. August and Ais followed Loki to update his status.

In Loki's room, August took off his upper garment, Ais stood to the side, and Loki took out a needle, piercing his own finger.

The divine blood dripped down, beginning the process of elevating the 'experience' and 'achievements' August had accumulated.

The limit named bottleneck was quietly broken with the help of divine blood, and the numerical value on August's Favor level underwent a subtle change.

"Kid, what ability do you want to develop this time?"

Loki asked August.

"Are there any choices?"

"Hunter, Abnormal Resistance, Magic, Healing... Wait a minute, why do you have the Healing development ability? Can you restore magic?"

August was shocked, this was undoubtedly because of the inner world inside him.
