Chapter 3: NEW FELLOWSHIPS, THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

Melione: I think you are ready, you have mastered the most important skills.

Marlecio Marhara: That's right, but because my body hurts from training so much and the rest is too short for all that I have to do.

Melione: It was very long because you were very weak, barely and that fireball tickled me, but now you are ready to meet your companions in the big city.

Marlecio Marhara: Oh, I forgot that I had to meet certain people.

Marlecio Marhara confused: But was it necessary for Persephone to rape me?

Melione: No, but now you have her necklace which represents her deep bond with you which will give you new abilities and you will be able to ask her advice.

Marlecio Marhara grabbing the necklace: But this has been done before? Or am I the only one?

Melione: She's only done it with Hades and you.

Marletius Marhara: Unbelievable, so only me and uncle Hades have been able to see that landscape.

Marletius has memories of how he did it with Persephone for 5 hours to get the necklace...

Marlecio Marhara finishing remembering: Well I'm off to the big city, thanks for the training.

Melione: Denada and good luck, you're going to need it.

Marletius picks up his sword and puts on his cloak to leave the Underworld and travel to the big city.

Marletius Marhara walking to kneel in front of Hades: Uncle Hades thank you for training I promise to honor this family and make you proud.

Hades: You are welcome, with your intelligence and strategy I know you will do very well in the battlefield, but remember the stronger your opponent is the more strategy you will have to use, keep that in mind.

Marlecio Marhara: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, thinking is what I do best.

Hades smiling: Exactly because you are weak.

Marlecio Marhara in his mind: Excellent, I let my guard down for a second and he's already laughing in my face....

While Marlecio was still having those thoughts, Persefone comes out of a room to hug him.

Persephone hugging him: my boy it is a pity that you have to leave so soon and that you may never come back, that's why I hope my necklace will be of help and that my powers can save your life.

Marlecio Marhara in his mind: I don't know why but this feels very good, even though life seems miserable to me... this hug changes my point of view a little bit.

Traidan looking at them: Wow how lucky you are, Persephone was never this kind and affectionate with me.

Marlecio Marhara being hugged: Really? That's weird, I thought she did it with everyone.

Hades smoking a joint: That's what she does with weak people like you.

Melione walking: Super weak I'd say

Marlecio Marhara being hugged: COULD YOU STOP MOCKING FORTALEZA!!!??

Melione laughing: Sorry but I can't forget your super weak version from 2 years ago *still laughing*.

Traidan: I'm not laughing because it would be disrespectful, but I understand that not all of us are born prodigies or professionals, everything takes time and preparation.

Marlecio Marhara relieved: I'm glad you understood that...

When Marletius finished speaking, Persephone stopped hugging him and kissed him on the head.

Persephone: Please come back home alive.

Marlecio Marhara in his mind: How strange, Persephone during these 2 years has acted like a loving and protective mother except for the rape, but ignoring that, she has been very good to me, it seems that my new goal will be to survive in this world.

Marlecio Marhara getting up: Well I have to go now, it was nice meeting you, bye.

The others say goodbye to Marlecio while he uses his cloak to leave the Underworld...

Marletius walks a few meters out of the Underworld and then sits down to pray and talk with Jesus...

Jesus Christ: Tell me what you need

Marlecio Marhara: I have good news for you, I have finally advanced in my training, I am stronger than before, now I will be able to accomplish my goal of what happened to your son.

Jesus Christ: Excellent I'm glad to hear that, so far from what I've heard there have been no similar cases lately so I guess they are hiding something.

Marlecio Marhara thinking: If they have not returned to infest another son of a God it is because they have something planned to do, but what? We don't even have names nor do we know who they are, this is complicated.

Jesus Christ: That is why I came back to this world, to support you in the investigation.

Marlecio Marhara surprised: You came back? I thought you would never do it

Jesus Christ: Well, I already did, didn't you see me at the recruitment platform?

Marlecio Marhara: EHH no, I guess because I was too far back and I couldn't see anything with so many people.

Jesus Christ: Well I came back and I adopted 3 sons who I trained and now they are fighting for the world, I met with Odin to talk a little bit.

Marlecio Marhara: And has he told you something important?

Jesus Christ: nothing yet, well I have to go to an important meeting, I guess you also have something to do, don't you?

Marlecio Marhara: Yes, I am going to the big city to meet my new companions.

Jesus Christ: oh boy, good luck meeting your new adventure friends.

Marlecio Marhara: Thank you, I hope we can get along well.

Marlecio and Jesus Christ say goodbye, Marlecio walks towards the great city, it was a long way until he finally found the entrance gate...

Heimdall: Welcome young adventurer to the great city, built and founded by the Goddess Hestia.

Marlecio Marhara: Thank you very much and wow, the city is really huge!

Heimdall: You could at least smile a little, while you appreciate the city.

Marletius Marhara: No thanks, I'm not one to smile, there's no point in smiling in a miserable world.

Heimdall: Wow how serious such a weak guy, well you can come in.

Marlecio Marhara walking while thinking: does he really think I'm weak too? This must be a really bad joke

Marlecio continues walking through the city while thinking, on the way a girl throws herself on top of him to hug him tightly.

Girl hugging him: EHHHHHHHHHHHY HOLAAAAAAAA, I can't believe I finally get to meet you Marlecio-kun.

Marlecio while being hugged: Let go I can't breathe.

Girl hugging him: No way I've been waiting for this for a long time, I've always wanted to meet your beautiful personality, Hephaestus told me a lot about you, as Hades and Hephaestus are good friends I asked him to get me information about you and I'm in love with you, my name is Lisa Trinigara.

At that moment a man came running screaming at her.

Man running: Lisa I told you not to run !!!!!!!!!, ah this is our partner?

Lisa Trinigara: Yes, I finally got to meet him.

Marlecio Marhara being hugged: Help, I can't breathe.

At that moment a man also arrives walking and stops to talk to Lisa.

Man walking: You are a real bitch, you are suffocating the poor guy, let him go you witch, you will kill him!

Lisa Trinigara stopping hugging: Who are you calling a heretic witch!?

Lisa turns her sword into a stick and hits the guy in the head.

Guy that got hit in the head: AHHH my head that hurt witch

Lisa Trinigara angry: Saljira if you keep calling me a witch I swear I will kill you.

Marlecio Marhara falling to the ground: Finally I can breathe.

When Marlecio was about to fall to the ground the other guy that was there grabs him

Guy grabbing Marlecio: Wow careful, I introduce myself I'm Romaliano

Romaliano: son of Thor, this is Lisa Trinigara daughter of Hephaestus and she is crazy about you because of the personality and feelings that Hades said you had and he is Saljira son of Hestia the founder of this city.

Marlecio Marhara standing up: Thank you for the introduction, it's a pleasure to meet my new comrades.

Lisa Trinigara annoyed: Marlecio-kun you're an idiot, you made me wait too long to meet you.

Saljira getting up: I told you why he was training because he is weak.

Marlecio Marhara in her mind: Again with the same thing, are you fucking with me?

Lisa Trinigara kicking Saljira: Idiot how dare you say that to my fiancé?

Marlecio Marhara: Prometheus ....what...??

Romalino picking up Saljira: Well, let's leave the hitting aside and go for a walk while we talk.

The guys start walking while talking to get to know each other.

Romalino carrying Saljira: Tell me Marlecio what did you do in your previous life and what is your motivation?

Marlecio Marhara: eh well I was an important president which ended poverty, improved the orphanages and had a government without corruption , I was a lawyer who watched over the weak and my goal is.... I don't have any at the moment, maybe to live I guess.

Romanilo carrying Saljira: Wow that's awesome, you were a great person.

Lisa Trinigara in her mind: I could fall more in love with him, his personality is so cute.

Romanilo: in my previous life I was an excellent cook that cooked in the most luxurious restaurants of my country and my motivation is to be the cook of the Gods, the best cook, that's my dream and well Lisa tell us yours.

Lisa Trinigara: In my previous life I was an excellent military woman that fought in the battlefield, I fought in many wars and I was recognized as one of the best, and my motivation here is to kill the Demon Gods and finish with the Demon King, maybe with that I will finally bring peace to this world.

Saljira wounded being carried: even if that includes killing Marlecio?

Lisa Trinigara: Yes, I love him but it's more important to bring peace, it's useless to save the people you love only to have them killed by the bad guys that you couldn't defeat to protect the people you love.

Marlecio Marhara: wow, even though this world is corrupt and miserable, I support your motivation a little bit and you make me fall in love with you a little bit, because you are right it is more important to save thousands of lives from a powerful entity than to save your loved ones only to have them die for this being.

Lisa Trinigara smiling: There you are so sweet, I'm glad to know that you understood it perfectly.

Marlecio Marhara in her mind: Wow she is so cute and pure, although a little aggressive .... Her smile is something I have to protect

Romalino carrying Saljira: Hey Saljira, now it's your turn!

Marlecio Marhara surprised: hey what the hell is that!!!?!?

Marlecio is surprised to see a guy crucified in the middle of the street, Romalino releases Saljira and he manages to stand up, Romalino steps forward to explain what happened.

Romalino explaining: This poor devil tried to stab the god Heimdall and then tried to steal money from him, I don't know if he was drunk or what the hell, but Heimdall didn't take it well and brutally beat him to near death then stabbed him with a poisoned dagger and then made a cross and placed it there.

Marletius Marhara: That God is completely crazy, although the one who is crucified is an idiot for trying to attack a God but good.

Saljira: You are right though he brought this on himself, we are a little late, we must pick up the pace to get to the center of the adventurers and warriors, so we eat something and do our mission.
