Next day.. the news was spreaded.

Monster Rex from floor 19th has been killed by Freya Familia: Vana Freya along with Bringar or famously called as Gulliver Brothers, which consists of only 5 members of said Familia did this amazing feat.

This news isn't shocking for other high tier Familia such as Loki Familia as the latter knew that the former have the ability to do so.

But at 19th floor?

If they explore through the lower floors. Isn't it better if they fought against lower floor Monster Rex if they wanted is to gather Excelia? Are they there to Bully the Boss? or they need an equipment or drops from there? Is what the Gossip says.

But, after learning that Zetta is the one who was grinding at that said Floor. Loki Familia silently make a move towards the said floor consists of Finn, Bete and Ais. as they were the Fastest member of their Familia. well, the Pallum and the Kenki is more concerned and worried if Freya Familia killed Zetta while in solidarity, while the arrogant Werewolf haven't yet to accept how a mere low level adventurer had such strength on par or stronger than level 6 adventurer.

Loki at the same time, confirmed that Freya isn't that kind of a God—well, she knew that Freya didn't have enough courage to kill her own fancied boy— Thats why, Loki herself visited the Goddess of Beauty to confirm but instead had got a headache after learning what happened

Finn and Ais insists on checking their 'friend' and 'master' personally instead, even though they knew how strong Zetta is.

Because the Vana Freya and Bringar are especialize in assasination high level Adventurer as they were already done that feat during Zeus and Herra's reign. though, they only killed who was belong to Evilus cult or those who pisses their Goddess or a member of the 2 mentioned unruly Familia secretly.

Still it won't help the two but to worry.

With that, Loki sigh heavily. Even her 'complete' Finn become like that just because of a single Adventurer. Well, she was happy that her first Familia member changed that much that even the girls he pursue from the past didn't change him like he did today. Welp, atleast, she knew that her little Pallum is not a homo, but a genuine friend and worried for Zetta.

Meanwhile, Zetta are silently grinding at Floor 20th. And in this past few days, he was really lucky to obtain materials that Soma needed to have him his wine more concentrated for his future plan. And at the same time, looted an item for blacksmithing, tailoring or rare materials, such as element conductor, and others which is very useful for Welf Crozzo's blacksmithing, is what he think.

He even looted Claymore which is much shorter length to compare that dropped from the Boss, it has wind affinity and the thought of giving it to someone with perfect affinity made him smile.

[Grimoire of D.e.s.i.r.e], along with Claymore He looted this two from the Boss of 19th floor. Even Antares, Red Goliath and Revenger didn't drop this kind of skill book, how come that weak boss has one? Is what he thought.

Though, his weeks of grinding have his inventory buldge. His level isn't, as he only level up to only 9 times until now. And even though the monster rex from 19th floor didn't gave him any level. He still felt as if he become even more stronger and faster than the last time.

"Status Open" he muttered, and an interface popped up in front of him.

"What is it? I didn't level that much but my strength are surging. Whats the different between my system and Falna?" he ask himself.

After that, he decided to open the [Grimoire of D.e.s.i.r.e] that he think of a skill book —Reading it.

P.O.V of Zetta

In an endless grey shaded place, I found myself levitating... Alone

[ What is your d.e.s.i.r.e? ]

But then, I heard.. a voice of millions of people overlapping at each other asking the exact same words

[ Is it Money? ]

No..no? I mean, you think I need that?

[ Is it Fame? ]

No.. I don't need that garbage

[ a Harem? ]

Screw Harem, well. . .

[ Power? ]

We-Well... not that I don't need that

[ The ability to Govern Others? ]

Nope, not that, I wanna live freely without restraint

[ Or Ability that can kill even Gods? ]

Pfff.. am I looks Heretic to you?

[ You Decide]

Of course it was I who decide! Is what I heard while sarcastically answered.. and just like in its last question.. the moment open this book, I already decided.. so asking me right now is quite useless.

"What I d.e.s.i.r.e... huh.." I commented "Well, I already found my love interest —even though, you might called it one sided— and the person I have protect, have friends and a Family called Artemis Familia"

"Thats why, I won't let myself become too greedy. Too strong or I'll be eaten by that power afterwards like other protagoniats, and too weak is too much of a useless... and so..."

"..What I d.e.s.i.r.e is.. . ."

Meanwhile... At the surface of Orario, inside Dian Cecht Familia clinic

"Urgh... an unfamiliar ceiling...", a man with dark hair opened up his eyelids, and eye of a silver peeked as if it may pierced ones souls just by stared by this exact same eye "...where am I?" he continued his words

"Dian Cecht Familia. If not, you've been feasted by 20th floor monsters and was dead by now" an answer came from his side.

"Finn? What do you mean?" Zetta who's now return his concious, obliviously ask the Pallum

"We found you unconcious, and an empty Grimoire beside" Finn answered and raise up an empty book

"Oh that? Ah yes, thanks for your help, and I'm sorry for worrying.. Who would have thought I lose my conciousness because of that. But then, how many hour since then?"

"I don't know when did you lose yours but, you are sleeping for almost half a day now." Zetta was taken aback by Finn' answer and only open his mouth in shock. I lost.. that much time? He thought

"I won't ask how'd did you get that Grimoire but, I never in my wildest dreams that you are that dumb to read a Grimoire inside the dungeon" Zetta only look at him, confused "Sigh.. you have no clue, I see.. afterall, thats the first time you use that.." and followed, "Reading Grimoire is the process of surging ones Mind and have it manifested as an [Aquired Magic] base on Grimoire's effect and reader's d.e.s.i.r.e. And its side effect is like that of a mind down and Ignis Fatuus combine and burned together but with the help of Grimoire, it won't explode and the output is that, it made the user to lose its conciousness"

After a few pause, "Damn it! I thought its just an advance skill book.. I let my guard down!" Zetta replied

"Yes.. though I don't get what is it about the skill book you're talking about, but next time, don't do that stupidity again, or my admiration may fall down for sure", Zetta look below ground from Finn's sentence. He embarassed himself in front of his friend

"Freya Familia, news are already spreaded that they killed the Monster Rex from 19th floor. are you with them at that time? Truth is, after hearing the news, we immediately track you down for the confirmation, afterall those 5 are infamous for Assasinating high ranking level Adventurers during Zeus and Herra's reign"

Hearing his word, Zetta chuckled.

"Is there something you need to explain?" ask by the Pallum after seeing Zeta's reaction

"Well, I'm not qualified to kill that Monster Rex according to Eina, so I need someone to cover me up. who would have thought, those 5 drop down from the sky and help me out"

"What!? Did you lure the monster towards them?!"

"No no no, the other way around"

"!!!!!!"

Ais, from the sideline who was only listening was mouthshock. A girl who didn't have an emotion and majority called her a doll, show an emotion this time. also, Dian Cecht himself covered his mouth and couldn't believe of what he heard.

Finn is about to open his mouth, but the door shutted open, and the Goddes of the Hunt, along with her other Familia came in. Seeing this scene, Finn only smile and have Ais followed him outside and the two immediately return to their Familia mansion without looking back.
