"Hi, my name is jaejin frostears, 15 years old, soloist blade practitioner with 0 star and rank e class status. Nice to meet you all." Nicely said by jaejin towards his fellow adventurers. They were somehow uninterested towards jaejin while giving him a disgusted look. They're clearly looking down on one person based on his appearance.
(These guys look down on me too much).
Then he took goddess Athena on his arms and introduced her to them.
"By the way, this is my wife, Freya Frostears. She's also a blade practitioner like me however, she is a 5 star and rank A class status."
"Hello, everyone, nice to meet you all" claimed by freya.
And after hearing his description towards freya as 5 star and rank A adventurer, everyone shifted their gaze, somehow getting curious towards Athena.
(Wow, I'm terribly jealous, well for some reasons this is my fate, being a 0 star with rank e class status. Want to know what happened after that second dungeon raid that I had? Everything happens like this), claimed by jaejin.
With the beautiful goddess on my hand, I immediately went back to our house, of course there's no point of hiding it from them. So I showed them the girl while I am carrying her on my arms. My mom was terribly infuriated by what I have done, that it almost made her die from suffocation. However, later as they look closely towards the girl, everything swiftly changes. (Well perhaps, it was the charm of the goddess).
So, I laid her down on my bed, inside my room, then I went out of it. As I head out, my mom and my barbaric sister held me in my arms, like being carried by a policeman, moving to our table. Then at that time, we've had a family discussion. Well, mostly, our discussions were all about the girl that I bought to our house and my relationship with her.
Unable to give out proper reason, I just told them that the girl inside my room was my wife, and we were married for 2 years. I told them that I hid the truth and lied towards them, all the time. Because of that answer, my mom was sent back to the hospital and again my barbaric sister escorted her.
"Foolish brother, always seeking trouble for us, for once, be a man." Her last words before leaving the house.
And I and the goddess were left alone on the house. I checked my inventory and found a credit card. I never would have thought that such huge amount of dollar bills from my previous raid did turned into a single credit card. There are several things that are recorded on my inventory panel, they are potions, cape, but of all those things, one have caught my attention even more.
"Marriage contract between a mortal and goddess?" ring of benevolence?" WHAT THE HELL?" Shouted by me as I hastily took it out on the nearby whirlpool.
Yes, it was a sealed roll marriage contract, that I myself cannot even unseal. Out of rage, and because I want to be a single guy. So, I tried my best to "Burn it into dust", "Tear it into pieces", do whatever it takes to destroy the contract. But for some reasons, the contract kept on regenerating by itself.
(I mean what's the point of tearing it if it just regenerates), and because of that I decided to throw it, throw it into the bin. For some good conscience, I cannot get myself to leave it on the bin. (I can't move damnt). So, with that, I gave my fate to whoever controls it and I took it back and put it into my inventory. Then for some reasons, there is this ring attached on my ring finger visible out of nowhere. So it enrages me more, and tried to take it, with all of the strength that I have. Unable to take it off, I just gave out a loud sigh.
Anyway, moving forward, I have checked several items on my inventory panel, specially the crown of gods and the shadow cloak.
Unsellable / not for use > Description: cloak of the shadow lord [1 minute invisibility] After seeing the two items, I was glad, somehow my second solo dungeon raid gave me such luck. So, I opened my status panel expecting to see great things, but for some reasons, expectations do not met reality. It even made me more disappointed. Lvl 0. Jaejin Frostears STR: 20(???) INT:20(???) AGI: 20 (???) EVA: 20(???) VIT: 20(???) LUC:20 (???) Hp: 200 Mp:200 In fact, it even made me feel like I'm dying like dried fish, on a muddy sand under the scorching heat of the sun. At that time never did I saw those "???" on my stats. What I was worried out is that my level returned to level zero. Several questions have appeared on my mind until such time I decided to give up. "Sigh, Here we go again, back to level zero" I said. Then I went to my room, and laid down on my bed, feeling so terrible and feeling down. Somehow, I feel stuffy and felt that someone is laying with me on that bed. (that was because I forgot that there is a girl sleeping with me on that same bed). But because of such unexpected turn of events. I felt so down and tired, drained. Darkness totally consumed my consciousness until I fall asleep. It was a good rest, a very comfortable one. At that rest, I had a dream, I had a dream of a beautiful lady clinging on to me while we are sharing on one bed. Such an unforgettable dream, because I know, it would never ever happen in my real life. She was clinging on my arms as we watch the stars above the night sky. She was there helping my mother and sister with the house routine, while I am slowly zipping my coffee. I am massaging her silky-smooth back with some lubricants, and finally, at night together, we will do something so passionate, that most of the couples will do. But just as that moment when everything is in climax, my stomach starts to burn. Something that is not bearable then at last, I woke up from that dream. I regained my consciousness, only to see myself buried on my rooms wall. Then in front of me was the girl, the girl of my dream with a clenching fist, strong as tiger and wild like a lion. "Where am I?" she asked to me. I would like to answer her but for some reasons, blood have started to run from the edge of my eyes and darkness consumed my consciousness again. The moment I woke up, I am again on a stretcher being carried back to the hospital. Beside me was the beautiful maiden crying in tears. So, to comfort her I struggled to raise my arm and wipe her tears. She was terribly shocked because of my hands, and punched me once in my stomach and again my eyes whent blank. She then twisted my head, that, I did not notice. When I woke up the third time, I hope she's there with me. But unfortunately, it always made me realize that it is always expectation who will never meet reality. Beside me was my barbaric sister, ruining everything, everything that I am expecting. Then this time, I saw her peeling some apples. It made me so nervous, so I stopped her. (The reason why is because, the last time, she peeled an apple for me, I was sent to the operating room because of apple poisoning). So instead of feeding me, I asked her to tell me what's happening now to our home. So, she told me everything that has happened while I am unconscious. She told me that my wife, that beautiful girl is a great adventurer. She was an A rank 5-star blade practitioner. My sister also told me, that they have signed up for a quest on the taverns association once and immediately conquered a b rank portal. So, then I asked her "how many days, have I been sleeping in the hospital?". And I was like surprised on her reply, because according to her, "It was a month" replied by my sister and then my mouth dropped down. "30 days?" claimed by jaejin. Then he immediately opened his daily quests, and what shows him next were 30 failed daily quests and 30 punishment notification. At that moment, several strong lightning bolts landed towards me. 30 lightning bolts were sent out by the system, frying me to burnt. "AH!!!!!!" Shout by my sister avoiding me not to touch her. And with that my consciousness once again begins to fade, slowly and slowly and slowly, and when I am bout to close my eyes, suddenly, the door in my room opened up and I was then covered with relaxing feeling because of such a good smell. The smell of girls shampoo entered my nose. Relief out of all the pain that I have received from that punishment, just smelling her hair heals me deeply. "Dear, your finally up" said by such lovely voice, a voice that ease every pain inside me, an angelic voice that softens my silly broken heart. This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. I slowly put my head towards the door where the angelic voice comes from. There I saw an unrefined gem, a magnificent beauty, simplicity beyond authenticity. The girl of my dreams, the goddess which I have tamed on my second dungeon. Athena. Above her head was a heart whelming title that any man would ever dream for. Wife of Jaejin. For some reasons, my sister noticed the mood and silently leave us alone inside that room. "It has been a month, I never would have thought that I would sleep that much." Claimed by jaejin as he rubbed his hair looking away because of embarrassment. "No, it was my fault in the first place, uhm, how are you feeling right now?" asked by Athena. "Well, I guess I can now manage myself." Claimed by jaejin as he tried to move out of the bed. The beautiful lady then moved next to him and assisted him. (shes beautiful despite of her boyish stance) claimed by the flustered jaejin. "Thank you" said by jaejin as he gets up. Then he took out his shirt and go up for a wash. "Mother is on the house, her operation went well, and is now on state of recovery. I found out her hospital record so with my earned money I have already let her undergo the operation, but she's fine now" said by Athena filled with concern. Jaejin:!!( so she has finally able to communicate well with them, Thus that mean she has accepted me as her partner?") great news, thank you goddess. "please do not call me goddess in your world, gods might be able to hear you. Just call me freya as my name." claimed by Athena. "Freya. Ok, so from now on your name is going to be Freya Frostears." Claimed by jaejin while he is in the washroom. "By the way before I forget. Are you available today?.I have accepted a quest from the taverns association it's an A rank portal clear out mission." Claimed by freya. (As long as it won't let me out for one day then I am safe, after all I have to finish my daily quest first.) "Why me?" asked by jaejin. Freya: well, about that… your still an e rank adventurer, in other words a novice, so I want to help you out somehow. At that time, jaejin was shocked, right, how can he forget it already, his level returned to level 0. At this time, jaejin realized something. (sigh… well I cannot expect a free treasure) Jaejin then head out of the wash room. There he saw an embarrassed freya as she kept on fidgeting. Jaejin: no need to be embarrassed freya, I'm your husband, so be comfortable from now on. Freya:!! Jaejin: I will go with you, I cannot let my wife go alone on a raid, and after all, this is our first raid together. As soon as freya heard his words, her face has started to fill up with color red. Then jaejin move closer to her and knocked her forehead like a doorknob. Freya :!! Jaejin: Your burning up, aren't you sick? Freya:!! WHAT? Jaejin : nothing just checking it out if you're ok, your burning with red, you know. Freya: huh??? You know what? forget it, I won't go with you. You're a loser. And that's what happened so far. I once again open my status panel and find out nothing have change. I'm still a level 0 blade practitioner with 0-star rating and a rank e class adventurer. However, I am grateful right now, for I have now a companion in my arms, my wife, freya. Unknown to jaejin, in the world of gods. Several gods and goddesses were now alarmed of their lost comrade, the goddess of wisdom Athena. A forum was held by their greatest and mightiest leaders and One of their greatest leaders, ordered the god Poseidon to find the lost goddess. For some reasons on the millendrum world, under the deep water of Marianas trench a humungous purple class s portal has appeared. Is it just a coincidence or not, is it the god Poseidon or not? One thing is sure, a disaster is coming in the millendrum world. On the other hand, freya and jaejin went to the Lanship Tavern to register a portal clear out mission. "mister jaejin, welcome back" greeted by the Lanship Tavern receptionist. "Good morning, I'm good to be back on action" claimed by jaejin. However, the receptionist immediately noticed the girl on jaejins side. He then greeted her warmly, warmer than his greetings towards jaejin. "welcome young miss freya" said by the receptionist as he quickly gets out of his table and hold freyas hands "Your record yesterday was magnificent, 2 rank b portals and 3 rank c portal conquers, such an accomplishment for a maiden like you" as he went for a kiss on freyas hands, but jaejin noticed it immediately, and swiftly, put his hands in between them. "ehem" said coldly by jaejin, as he gave out a strange look towards the receptionist clearly saying "want to die?" The receptionist noticed the rings on their hands as he immediately retracted himself towards them. "Ehe, my mistake, please understand mister, I only admire her fighting skills, nothing more than that. Anyway, how may I help the both you?" asked by the receptionist. "I simply wanted to register my name on the same portal which MY wife was registered to, is that possible?" asked by jaejin. But unfortunately for him, a strong punch landed on his guts. "Ehem, sorry about that mister, but I just want to help him" claimed by freya. "Well, let me see. Jaejin Frostears, 0 star and rank e adventurer. I don't know, but usually, an adventurer will only have his star rank up by one if he completed the number of the required portal mission that he must have. In his case, he only have 1 indigo portal clear according to portals association, and they said it was just a mere luck. It has been months, I wonder if mister frostears here is even doing his task as an adventurer. You're doing it, aren't you?" claimed by the receptionist. "I, I have no answer to that. "claimed by jaejin with a bit of shame. Then he bit the bottom of his lips, showing his frustrations towards his record on the tavern. "Then, I am really sorry to inform you Mr. Frostears that you are not yet allowed to register your name on a rank A portal mission." Claimed by the receptionist. Freya then saw the disappointed expression of jaejin and took his arms. "Come here, let's talk" said by freya. "… ok, just let me walk properly", claimed by jaejin as he turned around and walk together with freya outside of the tavern's association. The receptionist saw them walk out together. (sigh! What a lucky man, however there's nothing I could do, I'm just doing my work.) As they head out, freya intently look at jaejin, carefully studying him with her eyes. On the other hand, jaejin cannot help himself but feel somehow awkward to himself. "Are you an adventurer?" asked by freya. (awts, that hurts) Jaejin was taken aback by freyas question. She then narrowed her eyes towards jaejin and look at him like a magnet. Meanwhile, jaejin cannot help himself but to look on his left and then to his right to see several adventurers who were looking at them. "calm down, let me explain" hesitatingly said by jaejin. "I did not ask you to explain. I asked you if you're an adventurer or not" questioned by freya. "I am. I am, I'm an adventurer" Answered by jaejin. Freya then shook her head and stared at the crowd that were watching them. The crowd who saw freyas eyes became afraid and left them alone. Then freya locked her eyes back towards jaejin. "Now explain it to me, why are you still a 0 star adventurer until now?" asked by freya. Unable to look back on freya's eyes, jaejin whistled out and scratches his hair, looking around him.Pissed by jaejins answer, freya clenches her fist and gave jaejin a warm punch towards the tavern. Jaejin flew out from his position. "Woosh". Terrified with what he had just witnessed the receptionist was left trembling on his place. Then a monstrous red eyed woman came out of the dusty crushed wall giving out a heavy monstrous death aura. This woman was non-other than freya. Freya then walk towards jaejin and drag him like sack heading towards the receptionist. "Mister Receptionist give me a favor for now, before I kill someone here in your eyes. Allow this guy to have his name under a rank "A" portal with me" as she tossed the unconscious jaejin on the taverns desk. "as you command mam" dropped said by the receptionist as he immediately took out the registry record and tap jaejins hand on it. Seeing that jaejins name is already registered, freya immediately drag the unconscious jaejin outside of the tavern like serial killer carrying a dead body of the corpse. On the other hand, the receptionist was left like pole on his place, unable to move, for he had just witnessed a terrifying scene in his eyes. "I cannot imagine myself having a wife like that" claimed by the receptionist. Right now, freya then went for the nearby river and tossed him on it. Jaejin woke up, totally drenched, stood up from the cold river. (She's a freak, so scary) claimed by jaejin. (I can't believe this man's words) claimed by freya as she coldly gazed towards jaejin. "Follow me, we will be doing a portal clear mission", unable to rebutt jaejin followed freya, totally wet. Several minutes later they have finally reached the meeting place. It was an old stadium. In front of them were at least 35 strong adventurers with mixed job races, and star ranking from both class c and b. Some of them are rank d with decent stars on their record.There are few rank A which wears magnificent armors and set of equipment and weapons. Watching them, for some reasons, jaejin is somehow degraded. "Wow, so many adventurers on Rank A portal" said by jaejin. "Rank A portals are extremely difficult to conquer, and you have to get the best person for this raid. Only those strong ones are capable of clearing out such portals, idiot husband" said by freya. "which makes me strong too?" claimed by jaejin as he ended up whistling looking to his left. "Suite yourself, just do not die before me, or ill hunt you even to your death" claimed by freya. "my my, don't be harsh towards me my dear" said by jaejin as he moves closer towards freya holding her shoulders, like married couple. However, it was tapped out by freya herself. "Take off your hands towards me, you're disgusting" dropped tone by freya towards jaejin. At that moment, jaejin was hurt, terribly. It was as if a sword just now pierced his heart. At the same time, freya was even more hurt, she could feel jaejin heart right now, but that is the only way she knew, how to make jaejin strong. Jaejin is somewhat taken aback but continued his steps forward. (disgusting.) the words seems to rang out of his mind several times, it was as if the word itself is on a loop. Not long after that, both finally reached the crowd of people. Jae jin have also regained his composure. Freya on the other hand, were now mingling with the other adventurers as they introduced each other. Jaejin was somehow left in the corner, observing everyone. After several minutes, jaejin took out freya on her arms and gave out a loud introduction. (And that's it, that's what happened. Look at them, they're only interested to those adventurers with good records. That's how it usually is, clever people like me are just trash towards them. For some reasons, freya is right, I am disgusting) Jae jin mingled with them for a while, then he went out of the crowds leaving freya mingling with them. "Inventory Open" said by jaejin as he took out his dark knife. "Skill Panel Open" said by jaejin as his skill panel appear on his front. Right now, jaejin can use his passive skill "be one with the shadow" and his "shadow clone skill " . So basically with two skills , right now, jaejin is still a piece of shit, a novice in other words. (it seems like, goddess is disappointed towards me. It hurts, I'm bleeding inside. But I, I know she's hurt too, she's trying to tell me to face reality and change myself, but she cannot express it clearly, and that's her way of telling me to be strong) claimed by jaejin. At that time, another person arrived just in the nick of time. He is a barbaric man carrying a gigantic war hammer and covered with adamantine armor. This man is clearly a rank A + adventurer with a job class paladin. "Everyone! I am your dungeon raid leader, Rackal, 5 star A+, My job description is Paladin!" as soon as he finished his introduction, the crowd went silent as if all of them were filled with shock, like a calm before a storm. Then like a hurricane, an outburst of joy and shouting resonated around the area. "The Lanship Paladin is here!!, the great rackal is our raid leader" shouted by one of their colleagues. "Strong" claimed by jaejin as he sensed jackal's aura. Jaejin then went to freyas side. "Men, brace your weapons, it is now our time to clear this portal" claimed by rackal At that time, 38 strong adventurers went inside the portal.
