《Aries》vol.1 chapter 9. Mythos Legenda

‘I know this feeling, this feeling of floating on water’
I opened my eyes to see that around me is nothing but pure darkness, I feel like I gained consciousness in my dream where there are no memories.
I looked at my body to find that I was glowing but didn't emit that much brightness, it seems that my glow was pulsing, losing its glow and then gets brighter by the second.
I was looking around to see that there really is nothing but darkness, until I saw a small ball of light that seemed to approach me.
‘I think it’s going towards me…’ it seemed that it was, now that it was in front of me.
It seems like it was a sphere of light that was emitting a few transparent flames, it looks like it also has horns, the ones that curl inwards.
I was looking at it when it spoke to me in a deep voice.
‘So you are the soul that has taken over my body. I have to say I didn't expect to be replaced by a young boy with such low magic and attack, but it seems that you have good defense. as expected by the lesser gods..’ the voice sounded so deep and full of power I didn't even manage to speak,
“Hey!” I heard a woman’s voice this time.
‘It seems that my time is up, before I go let me tell you that I reside within your body and that you need to work more on your defense, that is all’ before I got to speak and ask who the glowing sphere was my surroundings suddenly changed to a table full of food and both my hands holding a big piece of meat and a bun with meat that looks like a burger.
I stopped eating and looked at my surroundings in a daze when I heard that same voice again.
“Hey! Can you hear me?” I looked at the owner of the voice and saw that it came from a woman waving her arms across the table from where I was sitting.
In front of me was a woman with long turquoise hair. Her hair was tied to make two ponytails that went all the way to her shoulders.
she was wearing a dress with short skirt that was really frilly, and on top of that was a white frilly apron that covered her legs only until to her knees.

It seems that she was starting to get irritated because now she was standing up, with both hands on her hips, making it look like she was waiting for something.
I put the food down, chewed and ate the remaining food that was in my mouth, I got up and bowed and told my name.
“Hello, my name is Aries, thank you for saving me and also giving me food.” I assumed that she was the one that gave me food because I noticed that the place we were in was empty. It was just me, her and the baby that wasn't a baby anymore.
I stopped bowing and was now looking at my surroundings. well has I said it was empty, but this place was huge, starting from the back to front were three long rows of tables and benches that split in three parts, while between the tables and benches was two rows of wooden pillars that numbered to four and goes all the way up.
When I looked up I saw that there were three floors in this building,
I was going to continue looking until I heard a cough from the woman.
“It seems that you are curious has into where you are!” she jumped back while spinning, bowed down, did another twirl, raised her arms and said.
“My name is viria ceto head kitchen maid and welcome to the number one guild in the world!” I think she made the last word echoed.
It’s been a few seconds and things are getting awkward, the only one the break the ice was the baby who was eating the food while making noise, which was meant for me.
“No that’s not for you!” viria scrambled to the other side of the table to stop the baby, she was trying to pull the baby but she didn't made him move an inch.
‘wow she must be weak..’ I thought that she might be strong, she did say ‘head kitchen maid’ but.
‘I wonder what are her skills, [info]’ I activated my skill and was shocked,
Viria Ceto Lv.89
[Skills: Warm meals: can cook food to relieve stress and fatigue.
Kitchen storage: can summon any type of kitchen utensils that’s in her arsenal, the user can also copy a utensil and make it their own]
‘Holy crap her level is way higher than me, why is she weak when her level is 89, wait she said guild, maybe I can join her guild.

This way I can earn money just like in my games, and level up! ’
I was going to ask to join the guild when I looked at her, but her face looked like she was trying to remember something,
I think she finally remembered because she made a ‘I got it’ it face and was running towards me.
She stopped in front of me and did a bow to the floor with her hands stretched up high,
“Please join this guild and also help it, please I’m begging you I’ll do anything” it looks like she needs help, but why does she need help, is it related to the emptiness of this guild.
I quickly thought of what to do and came up with a plan, ‘if I’m going to help then I need benefits’
“okay I will help, but first let me tell you that I’m still young, low leveled, and weak. So if you will still accept me then I have three conditions, is that okay?” I said that in a serious voice while looking at her getting up, she looked at me with a serious face.
“It’s okay if you’re a child or low leveled, if you have magic then your consider a mage, it doesn’t matter what type it is has long is it magic then it’s all good,” it seemed that she already accepted the fact that I’m a weak child.
“okay so here are my conditions, first, is that you have to explain to me everything, the guild, the people here, the social standings and the problem with the guild”
I need to know everything in this place, I can just head to the library since all information are there, but it will take time since I have to read it, I made sure to repeat about the guild.
“The second is that I need a place to find a place to stay and you will pay the rent” out of all the necessity a human need, shelter is a must and since I don’t have money yet I need her to pay the rent for me.
“Third is that I want the meals here for free, is that okay?” a second necessity a human need, food so they can survive.
It looks like she absorbed all of that information and wants to reject it, but it looked like she has no other choice but to accept, since it looked like nearly nobody wants to help this guild.
“The meals can be free.
if you’re looking for a place to live then I can recommend the one near the water canal, because it has a lot of trees and a good shade will cool down your place, but I can only pay the rent for three months if that is okay with you?” it looked like she went into a room and came out with a piece of paper with a symbol on it.
“Three months is okay, has long has I got a place to live I will manage” it looks like that is my limit until I have to pay the rent,
“Where do you want me to put the guilds mark?” she held the paper in front of my face. I looked at the symbol to find that it looked really simple, it had two hollow squares that are at a opposite angle and that there was a circle in the middle.
“On my back, between my shoulder blades please..” I said has I removed my ragged shirt.
She immediately pushed the paper on my back and added pressure. I saw a faint red glow while I was looking back and saw that it was already done.
“Welcome to mythos legenda!!” she said with a squeal.
“Seems like ill be in your care from now on” saying that with a smirk,
viria started crying while smiling.
“wa!!... I didn't mean to make you cry, sorry” feeling that it was my fault I started apologizing.
“It’s just that, I always asked people for help and they didn't help me even if I begged, this lasted for the past two years and you’re the only one to accept”
She then started laughing with a refreshing smile and looking at that smile I started laughing too.
Currently while Aries was having a moment, it seems that the capital has a lot of visitors above them.
