The atmosphere at the breakfast table that morning felt warm and serene.
The simple wooden table was surrounded by three extraordinarily beautiful won and one young man.
However, their composition was unusual: Astraea was a goddess, Aishia was a High-Rank Spirit, and Est was a Holy Sword Spirit.
All three were not human, and their beauty stood at the pinnacle, surpassing mortal standards.
In their midst was Charlie, the only man at the table and the only true human in this circle.
If other n in Orario knew that Charlie could live under the sa roof and share his life with such unparalleled beauties, burning envy would surely ignite in their hearts, longing to take his place.
"How's the taste of my cooking?"
Astraea's gentle gaze shifted from Charlie to Aishia, then to Est, eagerly awaiting their verdict.
Aishia: "Delicious."
Est: "Quite good."
The two spirit girls weren't particularly skilled at expressing their feelings with words.
"Sorry for doubting you earlier, Goddess Astraea. Your ho-cooked al is truly delicious." Charlie praised sincerely.
Astraea's face lit up at their responses.
"Good to hear you all like it. People's tastes vary, so I was a bit worried it wouldn't suit you. Seems I was overthinking."
As they continued enjoying breakfast, Astraea shifted the conversation to a more serious topic.
"Charlie, today is the Denatus. You know that, right? You still don't have an alias despite reaching Level 5. Is there a specific alias you want? I'll do my best to secure it for you."
The Denatus was a gathering of gods held every three months at Babel Tower. It was a chance for them to socialize, but more importantly, it was when adventurers received their official aliases.
An alias was a second na given to all adventurers during the Denatus by the gods once they reached Level 2. Aliases could potentially change each ti an adventurer leveled up.
"An alias, huh…" Charlie let out a light sigh, seeming unenthusiastic. "Honestly, I don't really care what alias I get."
"Think carefully, Charlie. If I don't advocate for your alias and let the gods decide, who knows what weird alias they'll give you." Astraea warned seriously.
So mischievous gods often used the alias-giving mont to assign chuunibyou-sounding nas to adventurers from weaker Familias, purely for amusent.
However, because Lower World residents viewed them differently, they considered such nas cool.
This process usually didn't apply to large, powerful Familias, as their gods typically prepared fitting aliases for their mbers.
Though Charlie was the sole mber of Hera Familia in Orario, that na still carried significant weight.
"How about Charlie's alias being… ###?" Aishia suggested.
Astraea nodded in agreent. "That's a great suggestion, Aishia. It suits Charlie perfectly."
Not rushing to decide, Charlie turned to Est, who sat beside him.
"What about you, Est? Don't you have any alias suggestions?"
Est shook her head gently. "None. Onii-chan's already cool with that alias."
Seeing the three won around him in agreent, Charlie finally relented.
"Alright then. I'll leave the alias decision entirely to you, Goddess Astraea."
"Mm. Rest assured, I won't let those gods and goddesses slap you with so bizarre alias." Astraea promised confidently.
With that settled, the alias discussion concluded.
They continued their breakfast in silence.
◆━??????━◆
On the 30th floor of Babel Tower, the Denatus was underway.
Many gods gathered with various agendas. So ca to discuss and review events in Orario, others to determine aliases for their adventurers, and so simply for entertainnt.
The requirent to participate in the Denatus was that a god must have at least one Familia mber who had reached Level 2 or higher. Attending the Denatus was a sign that their Familia was among Orario's stronger forces.
(Haaah, Denatus is always so boring.) Loki thought, observing the arriving gods and goddesses, all dressed far more elegantly and extravagantly than usual.
(Well, at least there are so sexy goddesses to enjoy.)
With a lecherous grin, Loki approached a goddess with a rather ample chest.
"Loki! What are you doing?"
Astraea quickly stepped back, her face wary.
"Hey, Astraea! Long ti no see. It's surprising to see you at this Denatus. It's been years since you last attended. Are you rebuilding your Familia?"
Loki grinned as she closed in again, relishing Astraea's discomfort as she edged away.
"Your perverted nature hasn't changed, Loki. Unfortunately, your guess is wrong. I'm here to secure an alias for Charlie Avalon."
Astraea maintained her gentle smile despite feeling uneasy under her acquaintance's lascivious gaze.
"You're representing that kid? I thought Aphrodite was his guardian."
"Aphrodite's busy accompanying Harmonia on her world tour concert."
"Hey, Astraea, is it true you're living under the sa roof as that boy?"
"Yes. Why?"
"So jeal—ahem, I an, that's surprising. You used to keep your distance from n. But look at you now. Aren't you worried that kid might lose control seeing your curvaceous body and… attack you?"
Loki's usually half-closed eyes opened, gleaming with a predatory look.
"Charlie's not that kind of person. And honestly, I think my chastity is in more danger around you, Loki."
"Hahaha… You know
so well, Astraea."
"That's not a complint, Loki."
The two then walked toward the main hall. Their arrival imdiately drew attention. Loki, as the Main God of one of Orario's strongest Familias, was always a focal point.
As for Astraea, her Familia had upheld justice in Orario in the past. Moreover, she was a beautiful goddess with many suitors among the gods. Unfortunately, she chose to remain chaste, like the three Virgin Goddesses—Hestia, Athena, and Artemis.
Suddenly, another commotion erupted at the entrance.
"It's Freya!"
"Freya's here! What a blessing for my eyes!"
The male gods went wild as one of the most renowned Goddesses of Beauty entered the room.
The Goddess of Beauty had long, shimring silver hair, srizing silver eyes, and flawless snow-white skin. Her body proportions were perfect, like a living embodint of the golden ratio, as if she herself was the source of all perfection.
Freya's beauty was extraordinary, even among other goddesses.
"Ishtar!"
"Oh! She stepped on !"
"Please step on
too!"
On the other side, many male gods also eagerly approached a brown-skinned Goddess of Beauty with a stunning figure.
Ishtar wore revealing Amazoness-style clothing, consisting of a single orange-red cloth draped around her neck, barely covering her ample chest, and a matching pareo wrapped around her waist down to her ankles.
Gold jewelry—bracelets, anklets, a necklace, and a tiara with sparkling gems—completed her sensual, captivating appearance.
The atmosphere grew increasingly chaotic with the arrival of two contrasting yet equally srizing Goddesses of Beauty.
"Is everyone here? Let's get started!"
Hers' booming voice suddenly cut through the clamor, drawing all attention. He stood at the front podium.
"This is our thousandth Denatus. I, Hers, am honored to lead this montous gathering!"
