I could tell that most of them had a simir issue at some point in the past from their rea. It was sort of funny to me to be ho as they could each break me in half like I was made of cotton dy yet they had to suffer in a way I won't to get there. Not to say I couldn't rete though as I was quite the weeb oh and had to my great shame tried to learn how to wield a sword at one point and failed miserably.-

  Anyways we headed to the adventurers guild after that while a few of the familia left to set an order on supplies for their departure from the city as they ayed long. True to her word Ariande pointed out a few shops that would work out well for a newbie adventurer as we walked. She also pointed out a few buildings I should avoid sihe stuff they sold was quite dangerous but not for the reason you might think.

  "Soma wines are sold there, stuff has aremely addictive quality to it. I've seen people get turned into husks from being uo resist the urge to get more after trying it." She warned seriously.

  She might as well have not said anything at all as the higher tration of cursed energy on those buildings alone would have stopped me from cheg them out. Cursed energy is literally powered by ive emotions like anger, grief, fear, doubt, greed, envy and so on so ahat has a lot of the stuff is probably best left alone. About halfway to the guild though I shivered as I felt a gaze nd ohat felt different than normal, like all my secrets were id bare before it.-

  "Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they are being stared at right now?" I asked worriedly and Artemis looked ed,

  "It may be a god who specialized in souls, try to ig." She suggested and I plied though it was quite hard.

  Getting stared at while feeling naked was highly unfortable and as a result teo be hard to ighankfully it seemed to work as the gaze vanished just as fast as it appeared shortly after that.

  "I thought gods couldn't use their powers here?" I asked fused.

  "We 't but if a god is powerful enough in a certaihey may be able to use unusual abilities despite being limited to a normal mortal body. In much the same way I myself am stronger whilst under moonlight and my brother Apollo is stronger during the day. Speaking of my brother you would do well to avoid him if you , he is of peculiar tastes." Artemis expined and added a warning at the end.

  "I will keep this in mind if I ever e across him iure." I said with a nod.

  We stopped briefly at a clothing store where they bought me a pair of boots, pants and a rough cloth shirt. It in outfit but much better than what I was walking around in before this as I now actually looked fairly normal. Walking around with o nothing on was an amazonian trait I didn't feel like copying for no reason. Shortly after that we made it to dungeon square which was a sort of wide open clearing around the entrao the dungeon and Babel that had adventurers ing and going stantly.

  Deodorant was unfortunately not a thing with adventurers so the whole area smelt of blood and sweat which made it quite the stench. To my earth born was enough to make me grima disgust. A fact the Artemis familia noticed and made fun of me for.

  'Yeah definitely going to find an alchemist to create deodorant and popurize it iure. Maybe like a powder that keeps the smell of a hard days delve in the dungeon from wafting off into the air?' I thought seriously as roached the rge building off to the side of the square with a huge sign hanging above the doors that read {Adventurers guild}.

  Surprisingly the guild was very orderly and almost reminded me of a bank in a way as adventurers came in turned over their profits from the duo a teller and then got paid the market rate for them. In a different part there were members of the guild helping adventurers with gear and preparation foing deeper in the dungeon. Over to the side was a rge board with part o it that had details on requests for adventurers going into the duo plete.

  The Artemis familia walked up to a ter and the teller a mature red head with rge e ears oop of her her head smiled at them.

  "Wele back goddess Artemis! I take it you have pleted the requests you took st time you were here?" she said in a polite and friendly manner.

  "Always miss Rose. This time we came across a bit of an anomaly on the way back while hunting in the forest. He seems to have been wayid by bandits on his way to Orario a in nothing more than a pair of shorts in the forest with a head wound that has robbed him of his memories." Artemis said while motioning to me.

  "Alexander Drake, but I go by Alex a pleasure to meet you." I said with a smile after stepping forward.

  "Rose Fa, the pleasure is mine." she said politely before turning to Artemis again "I imagine you wish for the guild to help him until he support himself or joins a familia?" she asked seriously.

  Artemis nodded "He has already decided on being an adventurer so perhaps the easiest route would be to allow him to see a list of familias that are recruiting a up an appoi with the god in charge of it. For lodging ut him up at an inn room for at least a week but will be leaving again after that time." the goddess said calmly.

  Rose nodded "Give me a moment to retrieve the list of recruiting familias." she said and walked away while we waited.

  "What sort of familia are you hoping to get into?" Ariande asked me curiously.

  "Hmm, probably ohat would let me go into the dungeon by myself. I have a feeling that I won't py well on a team." I said holy.

  "Sounds like a small familia might be best then, most gods tend to advocate teams if they and only a small familia would ck the persoo do so. I am surprised that you would want to risk solo diving though, it's not advised for a reason." Rethusa said sternly.

  I shrugged "Nothing for it my gut says it wouldn't turn out very good and I am ined to agree, it seems to know what it's doing so far after all." I said with grin.
