Chapter 4

Viridis woke up and felt a something or someone next to him. Looking over he saw Ethel clinging to his side and she was still asleep.

The sun peaked through the close curtains as Viridis shrugged. "Five more minutes" He muttered but he noticed that the sun would start going over his eyes. He then decided to get up while deciding whether to wake up Ethel or not.

"She must of came here in the middle of the night…she looks pretty cute like that" He thought as he saw Karin yawn and stretch as she got out of her own bed.

She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and when she turned around she saw Ethel 'cuddling' Viridis, her face lit up and it reminded Viridis of a tomato. Karin stuttered as she tried to understand what was happening while Viridis got a small teasing smile and look in his eyes.

Now Viridis was lying on his side with one hand keeping his head up as he leaned on it and used the other hand to gesture that she come over. "Okay Karin! Come on!" Viridis said as the bright red Karin stuttered.

"I…N-No… I…" Karin's face got even brighter when she finally registered that Viridis had no shirt showing off his body, she then remembered that he went to bed last night without it as well as Ethel clinging to him.

Viridis then got out of the bed and smiled towards the fox eared girl. "It's okay Karin, I was just teasing" The blonde god said. "I never expected her to move beds"

Viridis turned to the white haired girl. "Does she do this often?"

Karin shook her head. "Not that I recall"

They both turned to Ethel who fidgeted a little and talked in her sleep. "Warmth…gone…"

"Was I really that warm?" Green Brother asked himself.

"I wonder" Karin said to herself as she looked at Viridis rather than her partner.

"Well I'm going for a shower" Viridis said as he left the room with a provided towel.

Karin watched as Viridis entered the bathroom before turning around back to Ethel and saw that she was looking at her as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"Morning Karin" Ethel said to the fairy.

"Ah morning Ethel" The fairy replied.

Ethel titled her head as she looked at the bathroom door and back to her partner, this caused the white haired girl to blush thinking that Ethel saw her staring.

"Is he in there?" The ruby eyed girl asked as her friend nodded.

"How long have you been awake there Ethel?"

"Just now" Ethel said as they heard the shower running. "What do we do…Karin?" Ethel asked as she looked at the red faced Karin whose thoughts were else were.

"Karin?" Ethel asked again as Karin snapped out of her thoughts.

"Oh sorry, what was that?"

"What do we do know?"

"I guess we wait" Karin said.

They heard the shower stop as Viridis exited the bathroom with a towel around his neck half-dressed. The shirtless candidate looked over to the two. "The shower's free as you can tell"

"I didn't recall you carrying those clothes in with you" Karin said. "How did you…"

"Inventory" Viridis said as it would explain everything and it did.

Viridis then got his dressed in his usual outfit and when Karin turned to go for a shower Ethel already beat her to it.

"I'm going to see if they serve breakfast here" Viridis said. "I need food"

Viridis left their room and proceed to find out about breakfast, luckily for them they did serve it so he ate and Ethel and Karin came down as well to eat.

"Do you guys have everything?" Viridis asked as they both nodded. "Then let's go"

The party continued on their way. Viridis glanced lazily at the clouds. "Hmm"

"What's wrong?" Karin asked the blonde with concern.

"I was just wondering…if I levelled up, I have this weird feeling of getting stronger without doing a thing" Viridis said.

"Maybe your fairy partner is doing something?"

"Nah, she would rather get money then get stronger" The god said. "But that is a possibility"

"Is that a volcano?" Ethel asked as they saw a large volcano….that was actually nearby Zelwinds.

"Looks like we found our next dungeon" Viridis said patting Ethel's head and rubbing Karin's ears and patting her head, Karin seemed to love it as she had a look of bliss upon her face.

Karin looked up at him giving him a look that asked why he stopped. The party then entered the Yatagan Lava Flows.

"So are we still going to find Furies and do some quests?" Karin asked as the blonde who nodded.

"We got some kill quests and a few fetch quests" He told the two.

"What are the quests?" Ethel asked.

"Kill three Lavaan, collecting a few dirty feathers and broken beaks" The blue eyed blonde told the blue haired red eyed girl.

"Be careful" Viridis told his party members. "Don't fall into the lava"

Karin and Ethel nodded as Karin looked down at the lava before shuffling closer to Viridis and Ethel. "Just stay close Karin" Viridis said as Ethel agreed by nodding her head as Karin also nodded.

As they explored the hot dungeon a giant appeared before them, the giant raised its hand as brought it down as they jumped back. Ethel had her bow out and Viridis had his spear, it seems that monsters never thought about the possibility of dying.

Viridis ran forward as Ethel shot arrows at the giant. Stabbing the spear into the giant Viridis bounced off the spear into the air as Ethel continued firing at the giant.

The giant roared and started to run at the giant that was until Viridis came down from the sky as his feet connected with the giant's head slamming the giant's head into the ground.

Jumping off and looking at the fallen giant whose head was in a small crater. He picked up his spear that pierced through the giant with ease.

"That was fun and easy" Viridis said as they looked for any Lavaan.

The party encountered a Rakta-pashka each, it was easy for Ethel as she had a bow and shot down and killed as Ethel collected the broken beak and dirty feathers. For Viridis however, it was hell.

The bird flew around in the sky as Viridis was a ground attacker even though he had magic, he wanted to save some. He waited as the bird charged at him when it got close to the ground before he jumped with his spear facing down as the bird went under him.

As the Rakta-pashka flew under, Viridis stabbed the bird in the back. It took Viridis a while to control the Rakta-pashka as it flew randomly trying to get the 'annoyance' of its back.

The bird soon crashed landed as Viridis finished it off with one last attack. When he collected the beak and the feathers he headed towards the back of the dungeon as that was where most furies were it seemed.

On the way the saw a Lavaan, a weird creature with four legs and a single eye that reminded them of some sort of bug. Viridis held up his hand as the bug like creature started to run instead of fight.

It probably knew its fate.

"Convergence" Viridis called out as a white glyph appear before him as the three white rings surrounded the Lavaan. The rings then hugged the Lavaan slightly and exploded somewhat immediately afterwards.

This left the Lavaan injured as Ethel shot a few arrows at it killing the monster. "One down" Viridis started.

"Two to go" Ethel finished.

"Man it's hot" Viridis said as they walked deeper into the dungeon, as they went deeper it got even hotter.

Karin panted as her ears drooped. "Hopefully it won't take any longer" She said as she wiped some sweat from her forehead.

"You know what? Let's head back to the Katticus Ice Caves" Viridis said slouched over slightly. "At least that place was cold and we don't need to enter it to feel the coldness of it!"

"That sounds like a good plan" Karin said. "What do you think Ethel?"

When they looked at Ethel she was just standing there like she wasn't feeling the heat. She looked at the two and nodded as to not waste her breath.

"Let's just hope there are no water dungeons" Viridis said as a weird shiver went up the three spines.

Our main character and his wonderful companions found two more Lavaans that were with a Rakta-pashka.

Meanwhile in Gamindustri Neptune's head sprung up. "Someone is claiming that they are the main character. I'm the main character!" Neptune said and before anything could happen we immediately switch back to the protagonist and party.

"Shooting Star" Ethel shot an ice arrow that was surrounded by three more that pierced through the bird and exploded.

Viridis swung his spear from left to right hitting both Lavaans and stabbed one in the eye. The other Lavaan attacked Viridis when he stabbed the first Lavaan.

The Rakta-pashka swooped down and attacked Viridis. Ethel didn't attack the bird in fear of hitting Viridis. The blonde god frowned at the Rakta-pashka stayed clawed onto his back as the Lavaan that attacked him latched on to his side.

"Get off me" Viridis said as he tried to shake off the monsters. The Lavaan that was pierced with the spear was flung off as Viridis used the spear to stab the Lavaan on his side.

The Rakta-pashka pecked at Viridis' head. "Get off me!" He said as used the spear to try and stab the bird behind him. The Rakta-pashka flew off as Ethel took a shot at the monsters.

Ethel held her hand out as a blue glyph appeared in front. "Ice Coffin" Ethel said as the Ratka-pashka was suddenly trapped in a large shard made of ice which exploded a few seconds after.

Viridis' spear transformed into a sword, gripping the sword form of his spear he performed his next move. "Sky Slash" Viridis said as he charged at the Lavaan, he swung he sword each time he passed the Lavaan and with the third and final slash, the Lavaan died.

The last Lavaan was easily dispatched with a swift kick. Viridis watched as his weapon transformed back into its main form the spear. "Well we finished two more quests" Viridis said.

"Another Fury" Ethel said pointing to it. Viridis then contacted Lola about both the quests and the fury. As they were about to leave the dungeon they heard a roar behind them.

They turned around to see a large brown lizard standing on two legs, this was a Gorlois. "A boss monster" Viridis said as he readied his spear. "You ready?" He asked his party.

"Ready" Ethel said as she held her bow.

The Gorlois then charged at the two but stopped as soon as they jumped back expecting an attack. The Gorlois then shot out what seemed to be a fireball at Ethel.

Viridis went to stab the Gorlois when it punched him when he got close. Viridis was sent backwards from the punch from the Gorlois.

"Looks like we have a decent challenge" Viridis said as he spun the spear in his hand.

Ethel held her palm towards the Gorlois as Karin spoke. "Hailstone" A large ice shard appeared above the Gorlois and it fell onto the lizard dinosaur creature and smashed hurting the boss monster.

The Gorlois roared in anger as it shot a fireball from its mouth at Ethel once again but hit Viridis instead as he jumped in front of the fireball.

"I'm not letting the likes of you hurt any of my party members" Viridis told the Gorlois that roared at him. Viridis had a smirk on his face. "I hope you're ready for the fight of your life"

Viridis' party will meet up with Fang's party in a few chapters. I'm going to make these few chapters Viridis and company only before diving into the main stuff.

There will also be a few more people joining Viridis party before they met Fang's party.
