Chapter 2: Orario
'Well Sasuke-kun it's nice to meet you.' A smiling Hestia said.
Sasuke sensed a very divine-like energy coming from Hestia. It was large, but controlled in a sense. So she is a Goddess? He thought with intrigue.
'Where is this place?' Sasuke asked.
'Well Sasuke-kun this is my home in the city of Orario.' Hestia answered.
Damn I really am in another world..Sasuke thought.
He originally thought it was all a dream or a Genjutsu of some sort, but turns out everything was very much real.
'Can I ask you a question, Sasuke-kun?' A curious look appeared on her face.
Sasuke nodded.
'I can tell there is more to you than meets the eye. Your eyes speak of experience and your body says you've been in conflicts. I also sense a lot of magic and other energy I can't put my hand on…' Hestia started.
Internally, Sasuke was surprised at her perception. It was impressive. Not a lot of people can read a person like she just did, but she was a Goddess he supposed. He only met one other one and she tried to kill him.
Please say yes! Hestia took a breath. 'So with that being said…Would you like to join my Familia?' Hestia looked at him with hopeful eyes and a cute smile.
Wasn't this what the 'Gamer Power' wanted him to do anyways? He decided to accept the offer.
'Yes I will join Hestia.' Sasuke answered.

Hestia beamed at Sasuke with a sweet smile. 'T-thank you Sasuke-kun!' She was glad that she finally recruited someone to her Familia. He looked strong, experienced, and a bonus….very handsome. She blushed red.
She noticed that from the very first moment she saw him.
'No problem.' She looks very excited. Sasuke watched as she jumped up and down. He wondered if he was the only one in her Familia. Hopefully so, he didn't want to play 'make friends' with too many people.
'As my only Familia member I want to mix my emblem with yours Sasuke-kun. What is your emblem?' She asked him.
Good. I'm the only one. He thought before standing up and turning around. He gestured at the Uchiha Fan on his back.
'Oh cool! A fan, what does it mean Sasuke-kun?' Hestia asked, leaning in.
Sasuke's eyes glazed over as he reminisced.
Hate? Darkness? Destruction? Despair?
A once noble clan turned to one of evil.
But that was the old and this was the new.
His past actions, and the actions of any other Uchiha didn't determine what his future held.
'It represents my clan's mastery of fire alongside our great passion and fiery emotions. It's also a reference to 'Uchiwa' which can be used to make flames hotter. A symbol of light. ' Sasuke would continue to wear his clan's symbol with pride, but on a newer light path.
Hestia's eyes glowed. 'Well let you be the fan that lights my flame Sasuke-kun.' She said with an endearing smile.
Sasuke gave a small smirk. Clever.
'Now Sasuke-kun, I need you to take off your shirt and lay face down on the bed. I will then mark you as my Familia and see your current level and stats.' Hestia said.
Sasuke nodded and took off his shirt.
Hestia had to stop herself from having a nosebleed. OMG look at those muscles! Sasuke was a very ripped individual, but not too big. More aesthetic and lean. She turned red as a drool came out her mouth.
Sasuke laid face down on the bed.
Hestia hopped on top of him.
She used a needle to poke her finger and draw blood. She then marked the Familia Emblem on Sasuke's back. A bright blue light ensued and she looked at his stats and skills.

Hestia smiled sweetly looking at his title, but her eyes widened tremendously looking at the rest. This…This is the SSS level amount!? How can it be when he's only level one?! She asked shell shocked. She also had questions about what else she saw.
'Is there something wrong?' Sasuke asked.
'Sasuke-kun…your stats are way above where you should be. I don't know how but it's impressive. It's like you shouldn't even be on level one. Much higher, but I'm curious Sasuke-kun…what's Chakra and these jutsu thingies?' Hestia asked.
Damn I forgot about that. Well it's out of the bag now. No use in coming up with an excuse or lying because he was more than sure she could detect that. If they were going to be in this together, they have to trust each other.
'Can you close it for a second?' Sasuke asked.
'Of course Sasuke-kun.' Hestia then closed his stats and skills temporarily.
Sasuke sat up and looked at Hestia.
Hestia looked concerned. 'What's the matter Sasuke-kun? You can tell me anything.' Hestia put her hand on his.
Sasuke took a breath in. 'You may think of me differently because of what I'm about to tell you, but I want to be honest with you if we're going to be in this together.' Sasuke started.
Hestia listened in and was attentive.
How smooth this would go with his Sharingan. Sasuke couldn't wait until he got his abilities back. 'Let me start from the beginning-'
Sasuke then told her his story and about his past in the Elemental Nations. He started from his childhood all the way to his death and how he got in this world.
Hestia cried through many parts of his story. She had a lot of empathy for him. She wouldn't have guessed his whole clan died and how dark of a path that took him on. Even though Sasuke-kun did many wrongs, she could tell now he wanted to do what's right. She would stay beside him and make sure he didn't ever feel alone.
'That's the end…I can understand if you don't want to deal with me anymore.' Sasuke looked dejected and downcast.
Awe Sasuke-kun. Hestia jumped to him and engulfed him in a tight loving hug. 'I will never leave you Sasuke-kun. You will always be a fan of my flame.' She smiled affectionately at him.
Sasuke looked surprised, but hugged her tightly back. He felt like crying and tried to hold it in, but one lone tear came out. 'I thank you Hestia.' He managed to get out.
'Anytime Sasuke-kun.' Hestia wiped his tear before closing her eyes and hugging him again. 'Thank you for being honest with me.' She said. As a Goddess, she was very perceptive and knew when someone lied to her. She was glad Sasuke-kun trusted her enough to tell her the truth and for that she was very happy.

After a while Sasuke let Hestia go over his stats and skills again and she finished up with the process.
'All done Sasuke-kun. Now in order for you to increase in levels you will have to go into the Dungeon.'
'The dungeon?' Sasuke asked.
'Yes, the dungeon. The dungeon is a complex labyrinth filled with many floors with different types of monsters. The higher the floor, the more difficult to beat and stronger the monsters become.' Hestia started.
'Interesting. Do I get anything for beating these monsters?' An intrigued Sasuke asked.
'You can get Excelia which can help you level up. You can also get items, weapons, magic stones and other Sasuke-kun. You will know once I take you tomorrow.'
Sasuke nodded. He was eager to see what this Dungeon had to offer.
'If you do good enough I will increase your status Sasuke-kun aka level. So make me proud.' She gave him a sweet smile.
'I plan to. How can I get a weapon?' Sasuke asked, missing his Kusanagi.
'My best friend is a black smith Sasuke-kun. I will also take you to her tomorrow. Any more questions?' Hestia asked.
'That's it for now.' Sasuke nodded.
'Alright then. It's dark out, get some rest Sasuke-kun. It will be a very busy day tomorrow.' Hestia gave him a loving smile then hugged him. 'I'll see you then.' She said before leaving.
Sasuke laid back. This isn't so bad. He gave a small smile. He was glad he met Hestia.
