A/N: OKAY HELLO!, Enjoy the fic!
"Hey brat! Come back here!"
I laughed as I ran away from the enraged food vendor who I 'borrowed' my breakfast from. It's been about two months since I left my hometown to head towards Orario, where I hope to fulfill my dream of becoming an adventurer, and maybe picking up a few girls along the way.
I'm currently in the town of Ritta to the north of Orario and currently out of even a single valis leading to my predicament of running away from this vendor.
"I'll pay you back sir!" I shout as I turned and ran into an alley "Once I join a strong familia and become a famous adventurer I'll pay you! Soon everyone will know my name, because I am ..."
I prepare to hide behind a wall when I felt someone suddenly grab my collar
"Bell Cranel?" I hear a gruff voice say as I look into the eyes of the culprit.
He's about six feet tall with a rough face and eyes hardened by battle, dressed in a black tank top that accentuates his biceps as well as dark blue cargo pants with black boots.
He brings out a pouch and heads over to the vendor from before,
"Here, this should cover the food he stole."
The vendor said his thanks as he went back to his store while glaring at me from time to time.
"You can let go of me now," I said in annoyance.
"Right, sorry about that," he said as I felt him release his grip on my collar and I landed on the ground, on my feet thankfully.
"So who are you and how do you know my name?" I ask in suspicion, taking a seat on the bench nearby while watching him do the same.
"Names Zekro Hisham, but you can call me Zek and to explain how I know your name well, let's just say I knew your grandfather and he asked me to check up on you."
That immediately got my attention, practically my whole life it was my grandfather that took care of me, he was the closest thing I had to a parent. I was enraptured by his tales of heroes, inspired enough that I wanted to become an adventurer. He was a pervert, hell maybe even a super pervert, but he had a heart of gold and I aspired to be like him. When he died I grieved for a few days , but I needed to continue on smiling, to prove to him that I could be a hero and a strong adventurer.
"Your grandfather's alive."
My brain stopped for a whole second before I snapped my neck so fast you could hear it crack, I look Zek in the eyes while I grabbed the front of his shirt, I know that it may not look very threatening as he is way taller than me but I tried my best as I asked
"How? Why? Where is he? How is he? Take me to him!"
"Woah, woah, chill down a bit kid." I released his shirt and sat back down.
"Sorry 'bout that."
"It's fine and assuming from your reaction you don't have a clue who your grandfather is do you?"
I look at him with questioning eyes,
"Your grandfather is a God and I am a member of his familia"
Eyes wide, mouth hanging, I screamed.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?"
And everything went black.
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling, I get a slight headache as memories of what happened comes rushing back into my brain. I hear the door open and Zek comes in with a glass of water that he hands to me as he sat down on the bed.
"So, a god huh."
"Yep."
I sat up and took a sip of the cold water while I organise my thoughts.
"He gave me some orders, told me to find you and give you this."
He hands me an odd piece of paper, when I touched it, it suddenly bathed the whole room in a bright white light and my body glowed in power before the lights disappeared along with the paper.
I feel something changed in my vision, to the lower right I can see a red and blue bar along with some numbers beside them.
HP 100/100
MP 50/50
"It's a sort of artificial falna that allows you to improve your skills and magic along with a few bonuses. It's the only one of its kind developed by your grandfather and a close friend of his."
Surprisingly my brain took on this information well and I barely reacted as surprised as I should.
"Wait does this mean that..?"
"No you are not part of your grandfather's familia"
"Oh." Eyes downcast I probably looked like a sad kicked puppy at that news.
"Come on kid, it's not that he doesn't want you to be part of the familia, he wants you to find your own god/goddess and build a close knit familia with people that you can be familiar with. You can't exactly relate with a bunch of geezers like us. Besides with this artificial falna you can import all the stats that you gained when a god/goddess takes you in."
I smile a bit at what he said, "Thanks Zek."
"Oh you surely want to know who your grandfather is right?"
I nod in agreement as he stood up and got a wooden board, painted on it was some sort of target.
"Okay, real quick can you say status out loud?"
"Status"
A window suddenly appeared in my view, "Can you see this? Woah" Zek shakes his head as I read into my status.

Familia: N/A
Title:N/A
Job:N/A

"All your stats should be zero as you just started out, now try to focus on your magic and imagine hitting this target with all your strength okay?"
I close my eyes as I focus, reaching deep into myself as I try to draw out my magic, I hear a slight crackling and did a punching motion straight into the target as I opened my eyes and a white bolt of lightning shot out of my fists and broke the target with a force that flung Zek straight to the wall.
"Woah, well that was strong" He said as he got up.
I stared at my hands in shock as a sudden realization struck me.
"Status"
I quickly went to my skills and saw that the question marks from before now had a name written on it.
My grandfather's name was written there.
And my grandfather was the god of freaking lightning.
Zeus.
