Welcome to the next installment of my story. I got to say, thank you to all who follow and favorite my story. It does wonders for moral to know that someone out there thinks you have a good idea or a good plot. I'm not sure what about my story drew your interest, but thank you. It has been tough the last couple of months to get the last chapter out, but it's done. On to the next one.

This chapter will have the intro to Momo. Now be warned, she will not be the cannon version of herself. As for how her character will be portrayed, well, you will just have to read and find out.

Now, onwards to the next chapter!!

Abandoned Church

Old Town District

Logan POV

As I speed walk away from the church, I hear a loud outburst coming from behind me. I cannot help but laugh at Alfia's little outburst. That woman has more emotion than she wants to admit. Chuckling at the thought, I focus on what I'm going to say to my goddess.

Judging from the position of the moon, I've been with Alfia for roughly twelve hours. So I'm pretty sure I'm getting reamed when I get back. Fuck it, I'm too tired for this. I will just go to my forge and catch some sleep.

The sounds of night time were in full swing. Crickets chirping their melody for all to hear. As I walk past pubs full to capacity. The sounds of laborers and adventurers mixing as they laugh, eat and drink. The stories being shared amongst the crowd for all who want to listen.

As always, there is a second side to the night, as evidenced by the red light district. Unfortunately the road goes past it on the way back to my familia, so I have to deal with the unpleasantness that will no doubt happen soon.

"Why, if it isn't Vulcanus. Did you finally come to your senses and join us?" Speak of the devil. I look towards the voice that spoke and sure enough, there was Jade, adventurer for Hermes Familia.

"No Jade, I did not come to join you. Unlike some people, I don't need to pay a woman to be around me. I have full confidence in my own abilities to have a woman. Now go have your fun and leave me alone."

As I start to walk away, He speaks angrily "Oh yeah? I think you're scared of women. You're like what, twelve? Shit, you're probably a virgin."

Now normally, this kind of banter wouldn't bother me. For some reason, this time it was and I felt an overwhelming urge to put him in his place. So for the first time since coming to this world, I made my first bad decision. I just didn't realize it then.

I stopped in my tracks and started to formulate a response. These guys will never stop unless I go big. The question is who? As I'm thinking, Jade starts talking again. "See? I knew you were a virgin. Sore spot for you?" He laughed and got his friends to join in. "Don't worry little boy. Someday some whore will let you fuck her. Then you'll know what you're missing out on."

Turning to face him, i said "Ha ha your as funny as your moms hemorrhoids. If it will get you to shut up and never bother me again. Then so be it." I walk up to and get in his face. "Who do you have in mind? Or are you all talk? Just remember, I have confidence in myself that I can get with and satisfy any woman, no matter who you pick that works in the district."

His face got pissed at the dig at his mom. I could tell from his facial expression he was trying to come up with an impossible pick. After a moment, his face grew with a wicked smile.

"Ok smartass, I got it. Let's make a wager. The woman I pick for you to get is Lady Ishtar. You have complete confidence in yourself, yes? Then that is your target."

His friends all chimed in at the declaration. "Damn Jade, tough choice for the kid." "No way he will get her." "Haha good one."

Well I got to say they aim high. Lady Ishtar huh? Well that actually shouldn't be too hard at all. I check off all of her boxes. One, I have a certain presence about me that automatically draws people in. Two, thanks to Evie and Genetic Manipulation, I'm highly attractive. Finally number three, due to my skills, I'm powerful enough that she would be willing to risk a War Game over.

Yeah, it may seem basic, but Ishtar is ruled by her vanity. This also gets me close to her to get tabs on her. The main story has her as a focus so obviously she has an integral role to play. The sooner I can get her under my thumb, the better.

It should be an easy win for me,so let's see what I can get out of it. "Ok Jade, what are the terms of this bet?"

He looked smug as he said "You have one week to bed Ishtar. You can use anything except love or lust potions. If you can't bed her before the week is up, you have to make me a special weapon." Of course the peanut gallery chimes in with comments like "You'll have to let me use it." "Damn you lucky guy." You know, stupid shit like that.

It actually is a decent request not at all hard to fill. However, what's the counter bet? So I ask "Ok, that's seems doable. What do you have to bet? My weapons are worth millions, not to brag but it's the truth. What could you offer that is a decent counter worth, even though you're a vice-captain of your familia?"

I don't like to throw around the fact that my creations are worth millions, but I don't even know what he could have to sound so confident.

He responded almost right away. "I'm prepared to offer the services of Hermes Familia and all of our assets whenever you need it. I also have permission from Hermes to offer you two personal favors."

Did he just say that? I must of misheard him. After a moment of silence, I realized he was telling the truth. So, Hermes is in on this. The question is why? Looks like I need to see Hermes as soon as possible.

"This is acceptable to me Jade. Be prepared to pay up soon." I took out a contract and wrote out the terms and conditions. After checking that everything was in order, I passed the contract to him. "Sign this for our wager to be official. This will be the only way I will agree to this. That way, neither party can back out if they lose."

Jade read over the contract, and after a moment of reading, he nodded his head and signed the contract. He passed it back and I signed it as well. The magic of the contract made a copy so both parties had a contract.

I proceeded to put my copy away and started to walk away. Before I left hearing distance, I said "Don't worry, you will know when I do the deed. Just be ready to pay." I waved my hand and walked back down the Main Street, my mind focused now on a hot shower and going to bed.

As I was getting ready to formulate my plan, the smell of food hit my nose. Since I hadn't eaten since earlier, my stomach growled something fierce. Ok, maybe my plan can wait a bit, so decided to eat. The question was what did I want to eat...?

The Crimson Chamber

A Little while later...

Burrrp...

Damn that was tasty. Still, I can't wait for the Hostess of Fertility to open in the coming years. If the manga or anime is to be believed, the food is to die for. It would definitely be a great investment.

After leaving the pub fifteen minutes ago, the sight of the Crimson Chamber came into view. Not hearing the usual sounds of hammers, I wondered what time it was so I pulled out my pocket watch to see the time... Well shit, the time showed it was 2am.

Hephaistos is definitely gonna kill me. Oh well, I might as well go get that shower then get some rest. So I go to the bathroom area. As I start changing to get in the shower, I don't see the pile of clothes by the one bench.

In my birthday suit, I head into the shower. Since I was in a daze, I missed the fact that the shower was already on. I grabbed the shampoo and start washing my hair, scrubbing vigorously as I formulate my plan for Ishtar.

Suddenly, I hear a loud EEEP. Freezing suddenly in place, I turn my head to the side where I heard the noise come from. Standing there, looking extremely scared but oh so sexy, is Momo Yaoyorozu. Well there goes any plan I had at a decent introduction to her.

I close my eyes way too late, damn she is fit as hell, and turn my back to her. "I'm sorry I didn't realize anyone was here, there shouldn't be since when I left earlier no one was here. I'll wait for you to finish, we will talk after I shower." Then I walk out of the shower and wait in the changing room.

Now when I conversed with Chaos earlier, I didn't think she would appear so soon. Well that makes plans easier now that she is here. I'll have to see what Genetic Manipulation turns up when I upgrade her. As I imagine the possibility of an overpowered Momo, said young lady calmly walked out of the showers.

As I look her up and down, I can't help but admire her beauty. She looked exactly like Kohei Horikoshi had her in the manga. Long raven colored hair, her onyx colored eyes that look like they pierce your soul, and of course a body to kill for. Perfect proportions and long legs.

In other words, a anime fan's biggest wet dream. As I was lost in my thoughts, she cleared her throat. Thus bringing my attention back to her. She looked extremely flustered as she said "I'm sorry that I used your shower without permission. When I appeared here, I was still covered in blood and dirt from when I died. I just needed to clean myself."

I held up my hands "Hey, I understand. For the record, as long as you live here, you have free access to anything here. The only exception is my private room, it is locked for a reason. I will show you why, but not now, not yet."

Standing up, I ask her "Could you hold on for a moment while I shower real quick? It's been a long day." She quickly responds "Sure, it will give me a second to prepare myself."

On that note, I stepped into the bathroom and closed the door. As I closed it, I heard her whisper"Oh my god, that thing was huge." Now with a smile on my face, I grabbed the necessary toiletries and started to shower. As I showered, I came up with the game plan for handling the situation that was happening.

Firstly, I will have to get Momo settled and help her with any issues or problems that may arise. Secondly, I have to introduce her to my goddess as my assistant, and a new member of the familia. Finally, I have to win the bet with Jade. I know Hermes put him up to it, the question is why?

Somehow, I'm sure it has to do with me not being from this reality. Like I said before, I really hope I didn't change too much too fast. Shaking these thoughts from my head, I turned the shower off and reached for my towel. I powered up my fire magic, making the water still on my body sizzle as it evaporated.

I threw the towel in the dirty clothes and grabbed the clothes I keep in the bathroom. After I got dressed in a muscle shirt and pajama pants, I went back out to the outer washroom where a long conversation awaited me.

Closing the door behind me, I cleared my throat to get Momo's attention. Unfortunately, I startled the poor girl, she jumped about mile out of her skin. Trying to not upset the girl further, I kept my chuckle to myself and greet her.

"Greetings, my name is Logan Stark. Welcome to my home, which also doubles as my personal workshop. Are you aware of the situation that brought you here?" She nodded in agreement.

I motion for her to follow me into the next room. As i head towards the kitchen, I ask her "Do you have any questions for me?" It's quiet for a moment then I hear "What do I have to do to live here? Lord Chaos just said that I'm to help you. He didn't give specifics."

Once in the kitchen, I motion her to sit at the table. I then start to prepare something for us to eat. "Anything special you want to eat?" I ask her. She thinks for a moment before responding "Honestly, it doesn't matter. I could eat anything right now."

'Fair enough' I thought as I went in the fridge and grabbed the leftover chili. I put it in a pot and heated it up. I asked "Do you want spice or no?" She debated for a moment before saying "Spice please, but not burn my mouth off hot. Please?"

Nodding my head, I add basic chili powder to her's and jalapeño to mine. Giving her the bowl, I sat down and we ate for a few minutes. Her face had a blissful look as she ate her chili. It makes me glad that my cooking skills are as good as they are.

After giving her another bowl, I start explaining. "Lord Chaos suggested you to me as my assistant to help me run my shop and to help me make equipment. After thinking about it, I realized that he was right. You would be perfect for the job."

I picked up my bowl and took it to the sink. "However, I didn't want to just take you from your world if you were still living your life to the fullest. I requested that the Momo Yaoyorozu that he brought here was without attachment."

She had a closed off look on her face as she cut my story off. "In other words, one that was about to die or just recently deceased. So Chaos picked me?" She started tearing up, and without hesitation, I pulled her in for a hug. She stiffened up at first, but then proceeded to full on cry into my shoulder.

"Shhh. It will be ok Ms. Yaoyorozu. I'm sorry about how you ended up here, and I promise to help you through this difficult situation to the best of my abilities. Just remember that I will be here to support you."

After another few minutes, she calmed down. She made no move to leave my embrace so I coughed a little, saying "Are you ok to continue?"

She leaned back out of the embrace, so I let my arms drop. Seeing that tears were still in her eyes, I took out my handkerchief and dried her tears.

She gave a watery chuckle, and said "Yes, thank you." She cleared her throat and continued. "So, based on your criteria, Lord Chaos picked me. Let me say thank you again for giving me another chance to live. For that, I'll do anything to pay you back."

At that, I interrupted her by saying "Don't worry, you will help me plenty. I have need of your quirk for my line of work. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a blacksmith. Your quirk will be extremely useful."

I leaned in a bit. "Did Lord Chaos tell you who I am?" At this, she grew serious as she said "He did. He mentioned that you were chosen to save this world. He also said that you have powers that are basically a cheat code to do anything you want."

Momo then pointed a finger in my face. "As long as you follow the path of a hero, I will follow you. If you stray and turn evil, I will end you even if it kills me again. Do you understand me?"

Chills.

I felt chills from that declaration. That makes me all the more glad I let Chaos pick her to be my assistant. "Fair enough Ms. Yaoyorozu."

Now I fix her with my own dead serious expression. "Now the agreement is you are my assistant. You help me and keep my secrets. You must NEVER reveal that I'm not of this world. You never reveal my secrets without my permission. So long as you don't betray me, I will give you the tools for you to live however you choose. Do we have a deal?"

My words hung in the air as she chewed her lip in indecision. The inner shopkeeper came out and had to sweeten the deal. "If you agree to this, I can change your quirk." Momo looked stunned at my statement. "Ch..change my quirk? How co..could you change it?"

Sold. I hold out my hand. "Let me show you. Take my hand and I'll show you just how powerful you can become." She blushes once I said take my hand, however she still reaches out and takes it. With a small smile, I grip her hand in a gentle way and say the words. 'GET CREATIVE'

Time slows as my screens come up. I know it was a success due to the "OMG! What is this!" that escaped from Momo's mouth. I say "This is my main quirk as you call it. It's called 'GET CREATIVE' and it's a powerful skill. This is the main tool to help your quirk. I can change or create anything I want, so long as I have sufficient LP points."

I could feel Momo's eyes on me as she asked "What are LP points? Why do you need them to acquire skills? Also, how can a skill like this exist?"

I shake my head. Of course the girl who is smart as hell asks questions that are slightly tedious to answer. With a chuckle, I respond "LP points are points I acquire by three different methods. They are by crafting items, defeating monsters, and by intimate behaviors. So far, most of my gains have been craftings and fighting."

A thought occurred to me so I asked "Did you get to meet Evie while you were with Lord Chaos?" Suddenly, I felt her hand get hot and sweaty after asking that. "Ye...yes, I met her. She is interesting, to say the least."

Oh boy, I wonder what she put in this poor girl's head. Momo continued by saying "She tasked me with making sure I help you with anything that you need. She stressed the 'anything' part enough that even Izuku would have understood the insinuation."

Ouch, way to be blunt Evie. It hit home even more when she named Midoriya himself. I'm really gonna have to talk to Evie next time. Steering this topic out of dangerous waters, I show her the skill creation page. "Anyways, I need LP to create skills for me or my party members. I can also upgrade skills or abilities of others as well."

I scrolled to the party members page. The members of my party as of now were Tsubaki and Shakti. To help her understand, I asked her "Would you like to join my party?" She responded fairly quickly with "Yes, I would like to help you on your adventures."

With her verbal consent, her name appeared under Shakti's name. I turned to her and stated "Would you like to see your stats?"

She tilted her head towards me, a look of excitement on her face. "Yes, Logan, I would like to see my stats. Can you help me to understand the stats screen so I can make informed choices?"

I nod my head as I activate Genetic Manipulation. Deciding to give a complete overhaul, I boosted her body similar to mine. Increased stamina, metabolism, and regenerative ability and almost unlimited mana pool. She is at peak human level without a falna.

Turning to her, I say "Your body is at peak level. If you look here, I've increased basically everything. Without a deity's blessing, this is the highest level you can go. If you're happy with the changes, we can move on."

She didn't respond as she gave the stat sheet a once over. After a moment, she stated "This is fine. Now how are you going to change my quirk?"

Couple of hours later...

Logan's Workshop

... and done! Whew, that took longer than expected. I start putting my tattoo supplies away as Momo rested on the bed. It was easier to let her go to sleep as I worked on the runic tattoos that are going to be common on the women in my life. They will need them if they want to help me save this world from the apocalypse.

Putting the equipment back in my item box, I decide to finally look at my gains for the past two days. I've put it off long enough.

After giving Momo one last look, I say 'Status' and time freezes once again. I mental click on recent achievements to see what I gained, and I was not disappointed with the results.

-By securing an alliance with an elder goddess, you've gained 20,000 LP and the title of 'Goddess Slayer'.

-Goddess 'Slayer'- By having more than two Goddess have loving or romantic feelings towards you (Hephaistos, Hera, Demeter, and Loki), when this title is equipped, interactions with female deities are 50 percent more likely to be more favorable for you.

Grand Total LP spent- (-350,000)

Remaining LP- 50,000

A new title and advancement on the plot? Most excellent.

The new title will help me with my plans to get Isis and control the killing stone plot that comes later. Honestly things are progressing nicely. I could have maxed out my level by now but I'm still enjoying the experience. As much as I want to end it, I don't want to cause a paradox and shift the plot to something else entirely.

I know sooner than later, I will have to stop playing the long game and just max out. Is it wrong to enjoy life for a bit? Sure hope not, but I'm paying attention for any sign that I need to step up my game.

With a sigh, I stand up and stretch out my back.

...POP!!... Ahh, that feels better. Welp, better go and see Hephy and let her know I'm alive and that I have a contract with Hera and Loki Familias.

I can see the look on her face now, in fact, I can hear it now...

"What do you mean you met with LOKI!!!!"

Damn, I hate when I'm right. I think as I pop my eardrum back in place.

"Goddess, please calm down. At first I didn't know it was Loki familia until I walked up to the property. I told you it was through Hermes that the request was made. You will have to take it up with him."

She cracked her knuckles in a way that promised pain. "Don't worry, I will. I'm gonna beat his ass senseless."

Ouch, now I feel bad for him. Eh, better him than me. I reached into my item box and pulled out the letter Loki gave to me.

Flashback

Jester's Court,

Yesterday

As I walk towards the doors, I hear a voice behind me. "Wait up handsome, I need a favor."

I turn around and see Loki walking up to me. "I need you to give this to Hephaistos for me."

She has a letter in her hand that she presses into my hand. "I know it won't make up to Hephaistos for the prank I pulled in heaven, but hopefully, it leads to a way to mend our relationship."

A finger pokes me in the chest. "Especially since you're going to be our official blacksmith for the foreseeable future, it be nice if your goddess didn't try to kill me every time she sees me."

I take the letter and put it in my inventory. "No problem Lady Loki. As soon as I see her again, I'll give it to her."

She nods and says "Good, I'll see you soon for our date." She smiles as she turns back into the manor. I shake my head and continue on my way.

Flashback Ends...

"Before I forget, Loki wanted me to give this to you. She said it won't make up for the prank, but hopefully a way to mend what was broken."

She looked at it like it would blow up in my hands, but eventually, she took it and put it on her desk. With a deep sigh, she replied "I'll read it later, so what happened that you weren't seen for almost a whole day?"

My turn to sigh as I said "It's a long story so bear with me."

After 30 minutes, I finished my story as goddess sat in silence.

.

...

...

"Are you ok? You're not harmed?" I give her a thumbs up, tired of talking for the time being. "Do I need to declare Hera's Familia Persona Non Grata?" I quickly shake my head no. "No Hephaistos, we are good."

She hummed in affirmation as she looked thoughtful. If silence could kill, I'd be struck dead by the seemingly cold silence that she gave me.

After a few moments, she broke out of my it and said "Since no harm came from this, I will let Hera off with a warning to not let this happen again. I cannot lose you Logan, I need you now more than ever. You're the force of change that will bring this city to its knees."

Silence followed her statement, hanging heavy in the air. Honestly, she had me speechless. I had no idea she felt that way about me. She looked visibly upset and tears were in her eyes.

Now, I might be stupid sometimes. However, even I would be touched in the head if I didn't recognize the moment in front of me.

I reached out to her and wiped the tears off her face. "Don't cry my lady, it pains me to see you cry over me. No one as beautiful as you should cry over a guy like me." As expected, the blush that lit up her face matched her hair. It was honestly so enchanting, the color scarlet definitely made Hephaistos the most beautiful goddess in my eyes.

As she was spluttering away, I gently grabbed her chin and leaned in. If I thought her blush was bright before, it was nothing compared to the color she turned as I kissed her.

Fireworks... it felt like fireworks going off as we kissed. For a handful of seconds, she went stock still. Feeling like I made a crucial mistake, I was about to break away before she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me deeply.

It was a little bit awkward, I could tell she hadn't kissed in a while. She made up for it with enthusiasm and passion. Hephaistos held me tightly as she put all of her love and passion for me into the kiss.

It felt like hours or maybe days passed since we started kissing. In reality, it was just a few minutes. Our hands roamed over each other's bodies. However, just before we could do anything else, 'Cough'. Breaking the kiss and jumping back from each other, we both looked to where the noise came from.

In the doorway, there stood Tsubaki and boy did she looked pissed. She looked at Hephaistos and said with snark "Just going to have a conversation with him, huh? Just what is going on in here?"

Well shit, how am I going to explain this? I feel a major migraine coming on...

And cut!! This will end the next installment of my story. Now normally, I hate cliffhangers. However, this helps me to focus a bit with the next chapter's direction.

Sorry for the late update, but between life and a decrease in motivation to write, it's been tough. Thank you to all who are still interested in this story.

A lot has happened in this chapter. Yes, I've decided to go after Ishtar and start a little fire there. Hopefully it will work out, if not, well I could always change it up.

So the intention is to resolve some of the ongoing plots in the coming chapters. If you guys are still interested in this story, don't forget to read and review.
