Is It Wrong For A Gamer To Be In The Dungeon? Familia Myth Of Zetta

At the Garden of [Twight Manor]

Argo lied down his back from bermuda grass, where blossoming flower is not far away. Hands covering his eyes, and all alone. . .in which, only this time around did he walk out of his room. . .

At the same time, those who saw him lamenting, coudn't help but to only look at this forlorn elf. . .Ais and Lifeya wanted to talk to him, but Loki warned them not to. Atleast, not for now. . .

This time around, the funeral of their deceased familia is already held and the missing body has been found in the end, of course what they found is but a cold corpse. . .

And during then after the burial ended, his familia coudn't find his shadow. . .there, they found out he rushed towards the [Antares Mansion] and insists on seeing goddess Artemis herself and the blood elf—to apologize and check the latter's condition.

Afterall, noone told him what clearly happen to that lady.

But that time around, Artemis' other members are already arrived from ouside of Orario's mission; restrained him from entering--with other added amazoness members from Ishtar Familia, kicking his persistency out of their headquarters. Saying, their goddess doesn't want any visitors. . .

From the commotion, arrived the Loki Familia and dragged Argo out, thus, Loki locked him inside their manor and grounded. That is why, all he could do is to lock himself inside his room for a good days.

Current time amd here, he still gloomy and depressed. . .and silently, Riveria walk towards the lonely half-elf and seated beside. . .The high-elf then spoken. . .

"So, it was our Nanny who could solve any problem is the only way out, huh" atop, Tione slouch her upper body, used her big c.h.e.s.t as her pillow—from the brick open wall, looking towards the talking elves from below their garden

"Loki-sama, why Argo is so down this much?" Ask the curious Lifeya

"Well. . .its a secret from him but. .,.He feel responsible" Loki answers shortly after a few pause

"Why for? I know this is selfish but. . .why did he become an adventurer then? Did he really think, death is unavoidable?" Lifeya stated. Although harsh, its the reality, Afterall, for adventurer, mourning for the dead is normal, because she too, lamented from their loss, but too much is not good, especially for an adventurer job like them. . .

"No. Its not what you think. He is ready than anyone, but the current events that is unfolding is too much for him to bear. Like a moth that is trap" Loki mutters her last word. . .

"Is it about our member who dies? Or about Lady Artemis' child; miss Ran?" This time, Ais threw a question

"'And'. . ." Loki mutters and added after a seconds of pause, ". . .because the answer is both, Ais-tan. He feel useless and at the same time, helpless. Useless, because he's not in our raid team, and helpless because he feel like failing a mission given to him and his 'brother'. . ."

"Mission?" Ais didn't know at that time because she was absent. And after Loki's explaination. . .

But, who gave him? Is it Finn? Why did a level 1 take that crucial mission? What is he thinking from that time? —is what Ais thought. . .

"Brother?" head tilted at the same time; Lifeya questioned. As for a mission, she knows it and as for 'Brother'. . .Although they informed the last time that their captain is trying to recruit an half-elf with Bell Cranel's 'twin' brother as a joke. This is the first time they heard he actually has a brother. . .

"Well, his brother is Zetta"

"Eh!?" Tione, Ais and Lifeya look towards their goddess.

'So thats it? Because he is master's brother? No. . .I don't think so. Finn is too smart not to know that. . .' Again, Ais thinks too deeply.

Its too much for her to think through this. But as if there is something behind, she slowly and silently walk out of others sight. . .

'But they are different in race!' Lifeya thought so after that perplexed expression, then look towards the boy again

"Surprised?" After then, Loki look at her Argo yet again, "He feel responsible, because he let his brother's familia getting hurt, much more if worse happens. That is why he is eager to see if that child of Artemis is alright" squinted like usual, Loki copied Tione's lazy position but her rib is touching the cold brick, so she used her hands—still looking towards Riveria and Argo

"Brother of Master" Ais muffled as she walk away.

Well, she later realize--because Finn and Loki doesn't have a choice. Because that half-elf is a stubborn like Ais and will join them—raiding Evilus' hideout no matter what. . .

"Argo"

From the soft voice coming from the high-elf, Argo couldn't help but to stand his body up, and seated politely opposite of her.

Afterall, for elf being impolite to a higher race and a princess at that, is the same as not respecting your parents decendants. . .at first, the half-elf didn't know this —because he lived in godforsaken city— The Elf Kingdom where he stopped by, taught him an ettiquete or two of what true elf is. Afterall, it doesn't mean you're half breed, means you will behave like a barbarian towards others. . .

Curling up her lips watching his, Riveria look at him in straight, start to converse

"Did Loki Familia bore you?" She then asks a surprising question

Perplexed, Argo asks too, "W-what do you mean, Riveria-sama"

"I'm asking, did this familia, bore you?"

"I. . .I didn't said that. I mean. . .no, never, why'd you ask?"

"Why I ask, Easy. . .please remember, you are not isolated, not alone and never will. So why carry that burden, solitary? Atleast, let others help you out, or share that burden of yours, afterall you have your familia now" Riveria soft tone made the little Argo think deeply while guilt are lingering still.

Self loathing, Argo question with clenching fist "But I am a failure. . .my brother. I failed him. . .and Artemis-sama don't want me to check her child. Why is that?"

Riveria then sigh heavily "a failure, I don't think so" she then added "And? What if you saw her and she hasn't yet to heal, and instead she become even worst? Would you think that lightens your guilt?"

"Wh-what do you mean? You mean, that lady won't be cure anymore?"

"Long Ran. . .that is her name. Beautiful, right? She's the last bloodline of blood elf. You heard them?"

Shaking his head, is what Argo replied simply

"Blood elf is a magician of searing flame. . .not only they had unnaturally high affinity of flame elements, they also has their unique magic within their royal family even without falna. . .a [Teleportation] magic"

"That!. . .Captain told me they used teleportation to depart!. . .Then?"

Riveria nodded. . ."indeed she is, like me, she's also a princess of blood elves, and their last bloodline at that. Now, what I mean to say, is; no matter how important ones life. In the end, life is trancient. It always has an end. Ran is not an exception. So does the death of Line and others, even heroes of the past couldn't escape from this shackles. . .So, their death and the future casualties, don't let it overwhelmed you, burdened you. Thats not an excuse to depresses you. You have to move forward like others too. Atleast there are someone you still have to protect. Or there is?"

"!?" Silent. Argo bit his lips. Of course there is.

Riveria then continued, "I don't want to lie on you. . .Artemis-sama herself wanted to keep this a secret, for you not to hate yourself. But I don't want to see you, break like a frail crozzo's magic item just like that. She too, wanted you to move on. So please, don't blame yourself even more. . .Artemis-sama herself told me that."

After a few pause, and saw the little Argo changed a bit by that word, even if a little, atleast. . .Riveria then look above the distant sky. Thinking if this kind of word could reach that man too.

Time ticks fast and the Artemis Familia are still doing their mission, dungeoning but worried about their co-member. Even Godhood alliance didn't know about this incident and refrain the girls from spreading this incident.

Although, Argo sometimes is finding himself going from their entrance from time to time.

He slowly recuperating his heavy heart and at this time around. Him, Lifeya, Bete, Huryute sisters; Tiona and Tione, and Ais. Is partied to venture deep floors to gather excelia. Thinking if they could break out of their level with Argo's help, with the arrangement of Loki and Finn; for a sole reason to atleaat subside their greavance about the death of their familia.

Afterall, they(Loki and executives) knew he has the skill that could help his party gather an excelia, much faster than normal means—other than his other cheat-like ability.

As for why it was only them. Finn and others are still gathering an information to completely open the doors of Knossos. He has a key from Zetta. But that could only open is only half of the dungeon—is what according to Finn's analysis.

He wanted to ask Zetta where'd he get such item but forget asking, the person in question isn't in the Orario. So with few rubbing of his head from these stress thinking, he sigh deeply. . .

Another days passes by and the powerhouse of Orario has been informed. Warned. And a 'threat' is going to arrive soon. . .

Kali. Along with Ouranos. Arrived where this said god, gathers, at Daedalus along with their familia representatives, which is their captain.

3 days later. . .a sillhouette of a man, is slowly getting nearer. Walking inside the Orario from the southern gate.

His aura looks a bit of gloomy as he urged to move towards [Antares Mansion]

As if he is sensing danger that is going to unfold. . .Zetta arrived at the Orario as fast as he could and went directly straight towards their mansion. His heart is keep on thumping as his stomach, churned. pangs of worry, and at the same time. A word from his enemy echoes within his mind while dashing.

"Everyone. . ."

He mutters and enter their familia's mansion.
