[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]Third Person POVOrario.

  ...

  ...

  Lucius iated some terms with the Loki family but needed more sponsors. However, that would be put aside for now as he would focus his attention on things he had yet to do within his pns.

  He teleported to the kit after dressing and found his family eating.

  "Hello."

  "Good m."

  They greeted each other, and Lucius's attention turo Haruhime o Aisha. He was satisfied; the Hestia family had gone from a small family with 2 members when Lucius joio a group posed of:

  Bell, level 3.

  Lucius, level 3.

  Lili, Level 1.

  Welf, Level 1.

  Mikoto, Level 1.

  Delphne, Level 2.

  Cassandra, level 1.

  Haruhime, Level 1.

  Aisha, Level 4.

  Bell tio be the captain, Lucius is the stro in the family but acts alone, Aisha is the sed stro but still follows Bell's ands.

  Lucius was satisfied, there was the anomaly that was Bell, a magical swordsmith, the reination of Fionna, a seer, and a woman who could use level growth magic.

  Thinking of the tter, Lucius looked towards the blonde girl in a maid's outfit, serving some people, "Haruhime." Lucius called her. "Yes, Mr. Lucius?" She said with a sparkle in her eyes.

  "How are things? Are you adapting to this new family?" Lucius asked.

  "Hm? You're n to y your hands on the girl, are you, Lucius? Aren't you satisfied with having that elf? But if you want..." Aisha teased Lucius, making everyone sigh.

  " you stop being so lewd?!" Hestia shouted at Aisha.

  "I... am fihank you fio this family, Mr. Lucius." Haruhime said, embarrassed by Aisha's ents.

  "That's good..." He said, ign Aisha and turo Bell a bit red with this kind of versation. "Are you managing to deal with all these people, Bell?" Lucius gave a provocative smile, making the boy a bit unfortable.

  "Yes, I'm managing to deal with them..." Bell ented awkwardly.

  "Of course, Bell is, we're managing to get through Rivira now!" Lili defended Bell.

  "I see." He said and now turned his attention to Hestia. "Did the guild say anything about the explosive growth of the family?" Lucius asked.

  "About that... I received a letter and was waiting to talk to everyone about it, the guild demands that we update the family's status." She ented.

  "That's no surprise, the family has grown a lot in a short time, and we've taken down 3 families of Orario...." Lucius ented. "So, what do they want us to do? Since I bet it's not just a tax increase that we pay."

  "The letter says I should go to the guild with the ander, but Hephaestus told me they asked to call a raid and see how far we go in the dungeon." Hestia spoke.

  Lucius nodded, he had already reached the thirty-seventh floor, Fels might know this information, but it was not disclosed on his guild profile, however, that was not something that would surprise people, he had done more shog things in the past few days.

  Lucius had breakfast with his family and decided that it was time for Bell aia to go to the guild, as soon as they had all the information, they would decide how to proceed.

  "Hestia, could I meet with Hephaestus?" Lucius asked before leaving.

  "Hephaestus? I guess so... you would have to see at her workshop, are you going to talk about your project?" Hestia asked.

  "Yes, we need sponsors, Hephaestus is a great option, being one of the richest families iy." Lucius ented.

  "You're right, but don't you wao e along?"

  "No need, you deal with the guild with Bell, and I'll do this." Lucius said and started to leave the house, he soon began to fly towards the guild.

  It didn't take long for him to travel from Apollo's mansion, now Hestia's mansion, and nd in front of the guild. He ehe pce calmly, while his characteristic cloak sootention, as he was the mage who had destroyed 3 families alone now, his fame had increased even more.

  "Hello Rose." Lucius approached the wolf.

  "Lucius..." She murmured, looking at him seriously.

  "Let's not make that face, I just came to say hi and how are things?" Lucius asked.

  "These days I'm w a lot more and have to do overtime, especially siely a bunch of people are asking for information about a certain mage and even beggio advise you not to attack their families, there are also a bunch of women wanting a date with you..." She said in a bad mood.

  "Well... I imagihat. Anyway, sorry about that, but since you're okay, I'll be going." Lucius spoke and before Rose could react, he used his teleport and disappeared in front of her.

  "He es here and vanishes just like that!" Rose murmured dissatisfied while her colleagues and all the adventurers present in the guild looked on.

  Lucius appeared inside an upper floor of the tower of Babel and headed for the elevatoing up to one of the middle floors, where Hephaestus's main shops were located.

  Entering the rgest, full of expeems, as soon as he ehe door, he entered a familiar face, it was Tsubaki staring at him ily.

  "I hope you're not here to fight against our family too..." She said with her arms crossed.

  "No, I'm here to talk to yoddess. Is that possible?" He spoke and she stared at him for a while.

  "Damn, until retly you were even a threat, but now... how did you get s?" He said and Lucius did not answer.

  "Whatever, e, I'm sure Hephaestus would like to see you, whatever it is you want to talk about." She replied and Lucius followed her to an even higher floor, where the personal office of her goddess was located.

  As they ehere was Hephaestus reviewing papers in a rge chair and desk. Her gaze turo the visitors. "You're here?" She looked at him with her only eye and asked.

  "I'm here because I have busio propose to your family." Lucius ented.

  Gaining a look of surprise from Hephaestus, she said, "Then proceed, I want to hear what someone as sdalous as you propose to my family, you have my attention." Of course, this caught Hephaestus's attention, what could this mage possibly want to iate...

  "The me tell you about my test adventures...." Lucius began to talk about the ret events that happeo him, about the discovery of runic magic, his pns, and the dimensional portal project.

  Both Tsubaki and Hephaestus, who were in the room, were extremely surprised by this.

  "A teleport portal, like yic, but instead, designed for safe floors of the dungeon and even outside of Orario..." Hephaestus said thoughtfully.

  "This really is... how I say... revolutionary..." Tsubaki ented.

  "This is me quite a bit, but how much are we talking about?" Hephaestus asked.

  "The Loki family will tribute 400 million, I least 1 billion to start the projed make the first prototype in the world." Lucius said looking at the goddess in front of him.

  "So that's 600 million missing... what will be your business model? Since I bet this is a lucrative business, right?" She returned Lucius's gaze.

  "Yes, I call it a pany, a corporation that will use the portals to sell passages to adventurers, at a much lower cost than they would use for such a journey of course, but with a rge amount of money ing in, it will be profitable. I, as the owner have 51% of the pany, Hestia 20%, Loki with 40% of the iment I need, has 12% of the pany in the family's name." Lucius decred.

  "I think we get involved in this too, I'll give 200 million as well." Hephaestus decided to i, the proposal is too intriguing to pass up.

  "That's good, with more than half the money received, we start the project." Lucius spoke and he hadn't finished yet. With a movement, he made a stone appear in his hand.

  "What's this?" Tsubaki asked curiously beside him.

  "I call it a ruohis is also another project I'm creating, and I believe this could be a business artner oween me and your shops." Lucius smiled, he hadn't spent the st weeks just thinking about the portal.

  "What does this do?" Hephaestus asked curiously about the stone in Lucius's hand.

  "This stone grants some effects depending on the runibination it presents, this is a healing stone. I could do this, but I have healing magid it wouldn't be as authentic for you, so..." He turo Tsubaki. "Could you make a small cut on your finger, it be small, because this stone isn't that powerful in healing, but it heal a small cut." Lucius proposed, and Tsubaki ended up doing it, taking a small knife and cutting the tip of her finger.

  "Take this and break it." Lucius said, and Tsubaki took the stone, before using both hands to break it. Her body glowed faintly in a green tone, and she looked at her finger healing.

  "This..." She looked surprised and Hephaestus couldn't help but excim, "I've never seen anything like this..."

  "You see, this is called a ruo create various effects, I used just a simple healing, but there are no limits to what runibinations do. I'm no expert in the nguage, but I will surely get eveer with time, of all the people in the world, I develop this to levels never seen before." He said.

  "..." Hephaestus looked at the broken stone on the floor thoughtfully and looked at Lucius. "What do you want and what's your deal with this."

  "I'm giving you the right to sell this in your shop, as long as you provide me with the necessary materials, which are things we get in the dungeon for more powerful strus."

  "I see... I want 40% of the profit." She said.

  "10%" Lucius tered.

  "40%" She insisted.

  "15% or I will find another family." Lucius gave his ultimatum.

  "Tsk. 15% then." Hephaestus huffed but agreed in the end.

  "That's good, I want to make a loan now. I want you to create a sword for me just like you do for Bell." Lucius wanted a sword that wouldn't break easily and one like Hestia's knife would be very good.

  "You have that. But something tells me you don't waia's blood to create it, right?" She looked at him shrewdly.

  "That's true, I have anoddess that might be better for this on." Lucius spoke calmly.

  "And who would that be?" Hephaestus was quite curious.

  Some time ter, Lucius left Hephaestus's office satisfied, he had proposed his businesses and had the success he pnned, now he had to tinue his routine and the stop would be Mama Mia's pub.

  Meanwhile, in Hephaestus's room, Tsubaki looked worriedly at her goddess, who seemed quite ed.

  "What's wrong, Hephaestus-sama, you've been like this since he mentiohat goddess? Who is she?" Tsubaki asked worriedly.

  "She is someone dangerous, very dangerous, so that goddess was here all along?! It's a pity that Lucius didn't tell me how he met her and said he would get her blood on his own..." Hephaestus spoke in a somber tone.

  "Is she that dangerous?"

  "Even Loki, Freya, and Ouranos are afraid of her..." She said, leaving her daughter stunned.
