Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Where

(Orario: Babel: First Floor)

Looking around the place and see many different races other than human. If it wasn't for all those memories shove into my head. I would be surprised by seeing other people that are not human.

Not to mention, I have faced legendary beings before, so not a surprise or shocker for me. With all the memories in my head. I would say, I can single-handed face all those opponents by myself, even if they team up together to face me.

However, I kind of got this feeling someone watching me from the shadow, but I can't find them at all. Then, I guessed someone was using some sort of [Scrying Spell] or something to look at me from a great distance away.

"So, kid. I guess this is where we part way." I said to the white-haired boy, who continues to shake like he about to die or something. But, the moment I spoke out the last word. The kid burst into speed and ran off down the road outside the building like a monster is chasing after him.

I pause for a moment and realize that the monster is me.

'Such misfortune.' I exit the building and look around the place. And from one of the memories. I would have to say I'm currently in a fantasy world. This also means that there will be a time where a great monster or being would force the world into a war against it, then some kind of hero would show up to defeat it.

Knowing that I'm already a hero. A [Heroic Spirit] at that, not bother that I'm not human at all, not that I was one in the first place being a demigod and all that.

I'm most likely to be that hero or part of the hero's party to fight the great evil being before I die after helping or landing the finishing blow.

So, with those thoughts running in my head. I would say, screw that noise. Because I'm done being a hero. Who, whatever, created me could go fuck themselves.

I rather live my life in peace. I don't even need to train due to the fact that my skills of a [Heroic Spirit] won't rust at all. Hell, I got lots of memories where my counterpart forgot to do training over the years while managing to live outside the Fifth Holy Grail War and his skills in fighting haven't rusted at all.

So yeah, no need to worry about losing my edge when I need it the most in some unlucky situations, that could cause me to die. Yup, so I'm going to find a job that doesn't involve killing, maiming, or anything fighting related and find a nice place to live in.

Doesn't have to be fancy, it could, but doesn't and live the rest of my life in peace. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm immortal as well and mostly the same type as his mentor, Scathach, who no longer a human and a [Divine Spirit] that's similar to a God if she didn't continue to kill some of them like nothing.

Actually, I have a memory from a certain counterpart manage to kill her as her wish, but end up getting killed afterward due to very heavy bad luck with the miracle he pulls off by killing her.

Now that was a grand battle worthy for me to be proud to have him as my counterpart. Then feel like cursing him afterward because I had this gut feeling he the causes of my immortality.

So after, maybe a couple thousand of years or so of peace. I may go back into the business of being a hero or a mercenary. Either those two for some actions when I feel like it.

Now? Time for me to search for a job. Because I'm poor as shit. Really need that cash, if I want a place to live.

Eating? Meh, I'm pretty sure I don't even need water or food to live, but just in case, I will continue that habit. Rather not find out the next couple of days, that I end up being so weak due to the lack of water and food. Or worse, end up dying because of my foolish action. That is not a way to die at all and I won't be able to live it down if the other versions of myself find this out, that their strongest version of Cú Chulainn died in such a shameful way.

30 minutes later*

(Orario)

While walking around to see if there any place looking to hire, but realize I can't read jack shit. I'm just glad I could speak and understand the native language. But, I wish this include reading and writing as well.

Because I know how badly for those that don't know how to read and write.

So for the past half an hour. I would go from place to place and ask if they were hiring for help.

The end results? A door slams into my face. This was most cases out of the results, with the being asked to leave, and by asking, I mean them shouting at me to leave.

Good thing I could be scary when I want to be, because there were a few cases that wanted to kick me, like literally kick me out of their stores.

So the entire time, I have been walking around, searching for anyone, then I notice a girl that could almost be a twin for a certain girl, that was a master of the Archer-class during the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Almost being the keyword, because those pairs of melons were no by mean the same as the Archer's master's breast size. Also, this girl is dressed in white, while the one I think about like to wear black and red.

Anyway, this Rin-look alike, but bigger breasts, is selling fried potatoes and it looks very tasty. Sure, I most likely to survive from hunger, but that smell just makes my stomach growl. And just like that, I figure I can get hungry after all.

Walking up to the Rin-look alike, who blinks her eyes at me, like she just sees something unexpected, because I have already seen her greeting all the customers before me already. So, seeing her acting this way kind of making me feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Hey, I don't have any money on me. So, is it possible for me to work for you in exchange?" I said to the Rin-look alike.

"Uh, I don't think I have anything that you work for me at this moment." The Rin-look alike said to me in an unsure voice.

"Huh, I see. Man, even after coming to this place. Bad luck keeps coming my way." I mumble to myself, as I start looking for another place.

However, before I did. I saw the Rin-look alike appear in front of me like teleportation. Not sure if she could, but not dismissing the idea she can't. With this being a fantasy world. The possibility of teleportation is highly being true.

"Did you say you just came here? As in this city?" The Rin-look alike ask me in this weird tone, which I usually hear mostly by females that wanted something from me.

"Yeah, why you ask?" I raise an eyebrow at the Rin-look alike.

"Did you join a Familia yet?" The Rin-looks alike ask another question, with excitement.

"The hell is a Familia?" I ask a question of mine in return, sure I know the meaning of the word, but in this fantasy world. It could mean something else. Heck, it could be a party system, but with a different name for it.

The Rin-looks alike grin widens at this, then cough in her left hand before straightening her back.

"A Familia are made up of adventurers and supporters headed by a God or Goddess. They are named after the God or Goddess in charge, such as myself, Hestia, the head of the Hestia Familia." Hestia introduces herself in a prideful manner.

While I, on the hand, am shocked the Age of Gods hasn't disappeared or maybe I enter a world where the Age of Gods never ended. Then again, maybe that's why my prana is off the chart.

But, if the Age of Gods hasn't ended, then I've no ideas if these Gods or Goddesses are at the same strength as the one he knows from his counterparts. If they are stronger, shit. If weaker, lucky him. Honestly, knowing his luck. It's mostly the former.

"Most Familia are exploration type Familia, though there are other types such as business type, industrial type, medicinal type, and even nation type. Each Familia is given a rank ranging from I to S based on size and achievements, which is taken into account in determining how much money each Familia has to pay the Guild during their monthly taxes. However, there are some Familia, who don't report rank ups to avoid paying more, but this is illegal." Hestia finished explaining what a Familia is.

"Huh, I see. Wait, you're Hestia?" I look at the Rin-look alike and the irony of this.

Because I remember one of my counterpart meetings a Rin-look alike, that's also a Goddess, but her chest size was the same though. Hestia here; well, damn her breasts is almost bigger than the average ones I saw through my counterparts' memories. Hot damn, are the Goddesses have large breasts or something?

And I may not have much knowledge in other mythology, including my own, but I got the feeling the Hestia of this world is a lot different compared to the Hestia in my counterparts' worlds. Okay, that's a lie. All my counterparts have only seen one God, a Goddess to be specific while alive before becoming a [Heroic Spirit], even after that, it's just a bit foggy while in the [Throne of Heroes].

"Yup! I'm Hestia, the Greek Goddess of the hearth. Is this the first time you see a Goddess?" Hestia ask a little curiously, "Never mind that. Do you wish to join my Familia?!"

"Sorry, Hestia, but he's mine."

This caused both Hestia and I to look in the direction, where that female voice coming from and much to my shock, I know who this person right away. After all, she was the one that managed to trick me, counterparts, three times in a row by giving me three sips of milk, and with my blessing, to heal her, causing me to become weaker due to the oath I, counterpart, have taken before.

A woman with lustrous jet-black hair and the face of a Goddess. She has her eyes close, but I know it's pale white. Which would make others think she blind, but she really not.

The woman wears a pure white dress, with separate sleeves to match it.

This woman is Morrigan, the shape-shifting Celtic Goddess of War, Fate, and Death. She also presided over rivers, lakes and fresh water, in addition to being the patroness of revenge, night, Magic, prophecy, priestesses and witches.

Small Author Note: For better image. I'm using Mabinogi Morrigan as her appearance.

And someone I'm very wary of. After all, she did try to kill countless version of Cú Chulainn while he was alive at the time.

"What do you mean he's yours?! I saw him first, in fact, he came to me first and even offered to work for me if I provide him food to eat." Hestia brags like she had done a great deed.

Morrigan smile at this, "Really now? If I may ask. How come you didn't even give him any food yet?" Morrigan opens her eyes just a bit, to allow Hestia to see her cold, pale white eyes, causing the Goddess of the hearth to flinch.

"I-I was about to before you stop me!" Hestia shouted at Morrigan, "And who the heck are you anyway?! I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a Goddess like you before!"

"And how did I stop you?" Morrigan raises her left hand to her mouth, to giggle quietly, then lower it just a bit. "As for who I am? I'm Morrigan, the Goddess of War, Fate, and Death."

Hestia upon hearing what type of Goddess Morrigan is. Pale in fright, because there are countless Gods and Goddesses of War, Fate, and Death, but to be all three just makes that God/Goddess a bit more powerful compared to others.

"Not to mention, I'm here to retrieve my champion." Morrigan said to Hestia, then look at me with a smile, causing me to frown a little and almost had the urge to bring out Gae Bolg, but stop myself from doing something stupid.

I may have decided not to be a hero, but that doesn't mean my moral as one would be dropped as well. I've already seen what the type of person I could be by looking through the memories of Berserker Alter-class Cú Chulainn.

So yeah, I rather not hurt the people around me if I can help, not to mention how I may end up losing what chance I have to live in peace if I take up arm now.

"Your champion? I find that just a bunch of lies." Hestia didn't believe Morrigan one bit about the whole champion thing.

"Okay, you caught me." Morrigan didn't seem to care if she was believed or not. "I'm here for reuniting with my lover here."

'Since when was I your lover?!' I scream in my mind, wondering why I'm still listening to these two Goddesses arguing with each other when I should be looking for a job and a place to stay.

"Lo-Lo-Lover?!" Hestia's face turn red and look at me to confirm what Morrigan said is true, but I was too busy thinking about if I should just walk away or not.

Sadly, due to my lack of response. Both Morrigan and Hestia thought I meant it was true, which lead to Morrigan's smile brighten up while Hestia looks like she just lost a precious treasure.

"Well, I still find that's a lie." Hestia refuses to believe this, but her word and body show two different actions. With her body covered in a bit of sweat, like she did believe it.

Morrigan allows a small frown on her face. "And why would this be a lie?" Now, Morrigan wouldn't care if others believe her or not, but this is one thing she has to out of pride.

"Because if he was your lover, then why he isn't in your Familia or even know what a Familia is in the first place? Not to mention why he wasn't with you in the first place, huh? I'm pretty sure lovers should be with each other as much as possible." Hestia started firing off facts that made Morrigan's frown grow until her expression turn dark and her eyes almost fully open.

'I think I will just leave for now.' I thought to myself and just left. Of course, I didn't have to worry about the two Goddesses noticing me leaving, thanks to my [Disengage Skill].

Sure, it's only meant to use to withdraw from the battlefield in the midst of combat or reset the battle conditions.

However, I had a counterpart with the memory of using this outside of combat and make it work. And it was a Caster-class version too, so I had to just use a few [Runes] to make it work.

A few minutes later*

(Orario)

-Morrigan's POV-

'This little annoying brat is getting on my nerve.' I thought to myself as the brat continues to fires off countless facts, that I can't refuse to, making this harder than I thought of getting the only one that rejected my love for him. And now that I had the chance to get his love, this brat tried to steal him from me.

"Enough." I said in a cold voice, causing the brat to stop ranting and flinch at me. Good.

"You may think you have a right to claim him into your Familia. But, you're dead wrong. Remember the old rules. The Greek stay on the Greek's side while the Celtic stays with the Celtic." I remind the brat of the ancient rules back then while we were great and powerful at the time, with little to no rule binding us.

"Ha, the ancient rules are no longer apply the moment us, Gods/Goddesses descend to the lower world once more." Hestia looks smug at this fact, causing me to be annoyed again, but knew she was right.

"You may think it no longer applies, but that doesn't mean I will allow what is mine to be taken from me." I glare at Hestia, who just stick her tongue at me like the child she is.

"Why don't we just let him decide who to follow?" Hestia replied with a smug on her face, then look to her left, with me following her direction to get the answer I knew right away would be.

However, much to my shock, and Hestia as well from the expression on her face. The same person we were trying to get was gone from the area.

"Where is he?!" I snarl, causing Hestia let out a frighten yelp, and she let out another one when I direct my glare at her. "This is your fault for allowing him to escape."

I didn't care what the brat has to say. I must find him before others do.
