Chapter 1

Lastation and it's "Ideal" Goddess.

I approach the basilicom as I barely even make to the doors. I saw guards at the entrance. I knew I had to try to get an audience with the goddess. It will my only chance for any clear answer to this mess. All I know is that I'm in Gameindustri and not on earth. I wondered why this is all happening. I knew thinking about it will not do anything, so I made my chance to get into the basilicom.

" Sir I wish to enter the basilicom." I stated as I finally fell to my knees due to the sheer pain.

" Oh? Right away sir!." The guard let me in right away due to my severe condition. The inside of this building was huge. It look like a government building, or more like a church in a way. This place made you feel like you're in a holy place. The workers call down for the Goddess, Noire. She comes down stairs.

As she came down stairs, I got a close look at her. She has long flowing black hair tied in a twin tail style held by black and blue ribbons. Her dress show her -assets- in a rather beautiful way. Her dress is white, red, and black with her shoulders exposed. Her outfit is topped of with a blue and black ribbon collar and her enchanting red eyes.

" Why has a wounded man come to my basilicom?" Noire stated in concern as she walks towards me.

I looked up to her. " I came in hope to have an audience with you, Lady Noire." I stated in a proper tone. Noire is known as the -ideal- goddess , so i tried to show as much respect as possible.

"So. . . you came all this way just to see me? You seems all mangled up. What is your name young man?" Noire seemed a bit shocked.

" My name is Anthony Cooper. I'm just a lost traveler just trying to find somewhere to rest for a while." I kinda wasn't lying. I lost everything before I even came to this world. Noire looked at me as she is in deep thought.

" Before I decide what to do, you need to rest first. Please follow me Anthony." I followed Noire to a random room. The room had a king-sized bed and a dresser. It is rather empty otherwise.

" You will rest here for a while until you are fully recovered. I will decide what to do with you from there." Noire stated. She looked at my rusted sword.

" A warrior, I see. I might have thought of something, but first rest up. I will bring you some food. You must be starving from that long journey here." Noire left before I could muster out a word. I laid down on the bed. I passed out the second my body hit the soft bed. Noire enters the room and saw me already passed out.

" He is already asleep? He must have not slept in days. I will put his food on the dresser, no I better put it in the fridge. I don't want it to go bad." Noire goes down stairs and puts the food in the fridge. Kei, the oracle comes towards Noire. Kei is a business kind of woman to say the least. She always wears a suit and is always for business.

" How is the young man doing Noire?" Kei asked her.

" It's surprising that that he is alive to say the least. He will need time to recover before we can even do anything. He said he came just to see me. It's shocking to hear that." Noire blushed a little.

" Yes, It has been a while since anyone came to see you, let alone a gentleman." Kei smiled.

" Kei! That's rude. People come to see me. . sometimes. . .once in a while" Noire just got quiet.

" Noire. It has been months since anyone came to see you. All you ever do is work." Kei stated bluntly.

"So! A goddess's work never ends." Noire got angry very quickly.

" Regardless, you seemed happy when he said that." Kei's smile brighten.

" Yea, maybe just a little. I'm going to bed Kei. I will see you tomorrow." Noire goes upstairs to her room and lays down.

" So, a mysterious young man appeared at my basilicom. He said that he came here just to see me. I will believe that when I see enough of his character." Noire went into deep as she goes to sleep.

Three days passed as I laid in bed. Kei came up to my room once in awhile and questioned my intention of why I came here. I couldn't give her a clear answer, since I'm still disoriented for the battle three days prior. The next day I finally get out of bed. I notice I'm covered in bandages. I got really hungry and went downstairs. I saw a small plate of food with my name on it. I went for and inhaled the food. I hear the footsteps coming for up stairs and went towards it. It was Noire.

" Oh? Good morning Lady Noire." I stated in a proper tone of voice. I'm not used to speaking in a very proper tone of voice.

" Good Mor. . . Oh! Anthony you're awake" Noire jumped a little. I guess she wasn't expecting me to be up and running around just yet. She not used to a lot of people, so that doesn't help either. That is something we have in common.

" I can move now, so I thought I get and move around a little. I don't like being lazy at all." I stated with a slight smile.

" At least you're not lazy. That's good because I have a gift for you" Noire goes to her desk and hands and black and grey uniform and a dark steel broadsword.

" That hell is with this?" I stated in complete confusion.

" That is your uniform and I got your weapon fixed as well. You're welcome." Noire stated with a small laugh.

I felt really thankful just a change of clothes and a neat weapon. I went to the room I'm staying and put on my uniform. It's black and grey with protection all over the uniform. There is a sheth to put my sword as well. I put my sword in it's sheth. It came with black leather gloves as well. I went back downstair.

" OK. what is with the uniform?" I asked Noire.

" You need a home correct? Well if you work for me then you will have a home." Noire stated in a sassy tone.

" Yes, that is true I wish for a home." I stated

" Well first I want you to prove yourself. There is a tournament being held. Base on your performance, it will determine what you will be. You could be grunt for the army, a guard for the basilicom, or even a personal guard for Kei or Myself. I really can't believe to see you that strong." Noire laughed.

"Challenge accepted" I stated with a grin on my face.

" What is with that smile?" Noire got a bit confused.

" I will aim for the top. This is my own chance to make something of my life. I came to this world with nothing but the clothes on my back. I can't let this chance slip under my fingers. I will start training right away." I stated as I left the basilicom.

"I'm curious if he is really going to aim that high? He going to aim for the position of being a personal guard. I never found anyone even worthy of it. Maybe he could be the one. I want to see this first hand. Best of luck to him." Noire thought to herself.

I went to the closest dungeon and fought monsters left and right.

" I must win this tournament no matter what. If I don't, then I might not have a home and die here. I have nothing to lose her but my life. I have so much to gain here. I will start a new here in Gameindustri and lead my own life with no one in my way.
