A mature man, maybe in his earlier 40s came out from the vortex, he had short red hair and red-sharp eyes; he was taller than Artemis, just a slightly bit shorter than Alfonso, he was tanned and his arm were as twice as the ones of Alfonso, he was bar-chested and had a white kerchief bound to his head, finally he had a hammer on his right hand, all in all, he was a very handsome middle age man.

This made Alfonso very confused.

"Its not possible….. This doesn't match the description on him!" Thought Alfonso.

[Congratulations to host, for acquiring your third god

HEPHAESTUS, THE BLACKSMITH!]

This announcement from the system confirmed Alfonso's thoughts.

"Is really chilling here, isn't it?"

This was the first words of Hephaestus, who was looking around with curiosity.

"Hello, nice to meet you Hephaestus, my name is Alfonso Lockheart, I am the Lord of this town" Alfonso took a step forward and made a bow towards Hephaestus.

As he had the experience with Artemis, he was ready for the boasting of the prideful gods.

"Hello mortal, Is a little disrespectful that you give your tributes first, but I will let it pass this time, however, for being a blacksmith, you seem to lack a little bit of muscle don't you think?" Surprisingly enough, Hephaestus didn't boast around or made a demand like a certain someone, however, he had this air of majesty typically of a god.

"Maybe…. He is a nice guy?" Thought Alfonso.

"Brother is being a while" Said Demeter while giving Hephaestus a big hug.

"Demeter, is being a while, you are in your childhood form now? , well ,you always liked that form" Said Hephaestus.

"Brother Hephaestus, I am glad to see you again" Said Artemis while smiling, something rare on her.

Alfonso was a little confused, he assumed that the gods didn't get along that well between each other, well, Demeter was an exception.

Demeter saw the confused face on Alfonso and then made a bitter smile.

"Well~ little Al, I know why are you confused, let me explain it, is true that we, gods, don't get along that well with each other, but Hephaestus is loved in all the Olympus, he is a nice guy after all~" Said Demeter.

"Maybe the only one" Added Artemis.

"My~ My~ , don't say that Artemis, your brother will cry is he heard you"

"Hmph! Don't talk about that drunker, I haven't forgiven him for trying to raped one of my champions back them!" Declared Artemis.

"Anyway" Interrupted Hephaestus.

"Mortal, can you explain the situation for me? " Asked Hephaestus.

Alfonso, Artemis and Demeter explained all the situation to Hephaestus.

[One hour later]

"I see... I think I can picture all the situation now" Said Hephaestus.

" That's great, I will like you to help me, Hephaestus, of course, I will also try my best to help you regain your godness as fast as possible, just like I do with Artemis and Demeter" Said Alfonso.

"I don't mind… Well, its not like I have an option anyway, I mean, here I am a simple mortal" Said Hephaestus.

"That's great, thanks!" Alfonso was surprised and happy, he didn't think that the next god will be so cooperative unlike a certain someone!

"Alfonso, I have the feeling that you are thinking something rude" Said Artemis

"I… I don't know what are you talking about….. Anyway, I will one again welcome you to Wasteland Valley, Hephaestus." Said Alfonso.

"Don't worry mortal, anyway, I have a request"

"What is it?"

"Do you have a something to cover me? Is freezing here" Said Hephaestus.

"...…."

Alfonso looked at Hephaestus prominent chest and then looked at his pitiful normal chest.

"This is going to be troublesome" Thought Alfonso.

............….

"Thanks for bringing me the shirt his fast , RIbeiro" Said Alfonso who was sat on his throne.

"I am honored for your words, your highness, but I must say that this was a difficult task, I had to ask from house to house and finally I found someone fat enough that had a spare of clothes" Said Ribeiro.

After that, Ribeiro went on his way.

"Anyway, is good that the one who appear this time was Hephaestus" Said Alfonso to Artemis who was at his side.

"Well, is good and all…..but..."

"But what?"

"Mmmm….. I think you will understand soon enough, but let just say that Hephaestus have some….. Troublesome habits..." Said Artemis in awkward way.

"?..... What do you mean by-"

"Mortal, did you get it?"

Before Alfonso could finish his question, Hephaestus appeared with Demeter at his side.

"Here you go….. by the way…."

"What is it?" Said Hephaestus while putting the huge shirt.

"I…. I have a question…." Said Alfonso, he didn't know if he should ask, but the curiosity was killing him.

"Just ask"

"Well….you see...I…always heard about your great name but….. in those descriptions….you were a little more ug- Hmph!"

Before Alfonso could finish, Artemis cover his mouth without letting him a single word.

"Alfonso, come here for a sec!" Said Artemis and Demeter, who also was alarmed.

They dragged the confused Alfonso to a corner were Hephaestus couldn't hear.

"Are you an idiot!?" Said Artemis and Demeter at the same time.

"What.. what did I do?"

"Little Al, what were you going to ask Hephaestus back there?"

"Is you that, we, historians, know for sure that Hephaestus is nowhere near as handsome as that Hephaestus"

"Listen to me Alfonso, never, ABSOLUTELY NEVER, ask Hephaestus about his appearance, do you understand!?" Said Artemis with a firm voice.

"What…. Why….. what happen?" Asked Alfonso.

Artemis and Demeter looked at each other and made a small sigh.

"Little Al, you seem to know a lot about us…. Then you must be aware who is the wife of Hephaestus right?" Asked Demeter.

"Is Aphrodite right? But why do you mention….. wait... Don't tell me!"

"That's right, since that happen, Hephaestus has developed a huge complex with his appearance, the Hephaestus that you see there is the result of him "asking" father and Sister a favor, however, he always reacts….in a REALLY bad way when someone mentions his past appearance. " Said Demeter.

"This is the fault of the stupid lecher, Ares who couldn't keep his thing on his fucking pants" Said Artemis with repulsion on her voice.

"By the way… what happen to the last person that mention that?" Asked Alfonso.

"The last person was actually a champion of my father.....I think that he is still burning on the Tartarus….." Said Artemis with a little bit of fear.

The back of Alfonso became wet almost in instant.
