Main God Creation Rules

Abilities: None

Adventure Level: LV1

"Although I had some idea of ​​this, I didn't expect it to be exactly the same."

Thirty minutes had passed since Lin Yi successfully completed the familiar contract with Hestia. After leaving the "dwelling place of the gods," Lin Yi did not immediately devote himself to the strategy of conquering the dungeon, but instead began to observe the strange runes that had appeared on his body.

Unlike ordinary adventurers, Lin Yi's fluent language skills and wide applicability allowed him to decipher the meaning of these runes without divine guidance, resulting in this rather familiar "attribute template".

For safety's sake, Lin Yi did not reveal his real name. After all, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't exist in this highly active world where one could curse someone simply by knowing their name.

The various attributes displayed on the "attribute template" were roughly as Lin Yi had estimated. According to the initial structure of this information entity, apart from copying a portion of the "root" data, it was entirely set up based on the basics of an ordinary person. Admittedly, doing so would reduce the information entity's range of movement in this world, but the corresponding possibility of exposure would also be greatly reduced, and it's not to say that it would maintain this level of strength indefinitely.

"Adventure level, huh..."

According to some information provided by Hestia after completing the contract, an adventurer's adventure level is a direct reflection of their combat power. There are usually two ways to improve this adventure level: one is to complete the tasks given by the gods, and the rewards vary from easy to difficult; the other is to kill monsters in dungeons and explore deeper dungeons.

Since this "deity" has not yet given him any tasks, all Lin Yi can do is explore the dungeon.

"Not bad either."

----------segmentation----------

The underground labyrinth, first level.

"Little fireball."

With a slight fluctuation of localized activity, a crimson fireball quickly condensed and appeared above the outstretched palm, and was hurled at the goblins rushing towards them with a loud shout.

After a wave of heat mixed with firelight passed, the cave returned to its original darkness.

"One...two...three."

Lin Yi rummaged through a group of charred corpses and pulled out a few shiny gold coins, casually tossing them into his backpack.

"God, first-level map information gathering."

[Completion rate: 83.7%]

I glanced at the progress bar in the upper left corner of my retina; it's already quite impressive that we've made this much progress in just two days.

"Let's finish the rest and then go back."

Although he felt it was unnecessary, according to the usual practice in Orila, every adventurer had to return to the gods to be "tested" after completing their daily adventures. Since it was not necessary, Lin Yi still wanted to maintain this superficial identity as much as possible, so he naturally could not violate this "rule" without reason.

After making the decision, as they followed the route on the map toward the unexplored areas, the sound of metal clashing came from afar.

He paused for a moment, then continued on his way.

Before long, a space much larger than the other areas appeared in front of them. As expected, when their gaze swept inward, they saw several adventurers fighting monsters.

It was clear that their situation was not good. A group of elite goblins were waiting outside, eager to attack, but hesitated because of the adventurers' overwhelming strength. The adventurers were not without opportunities to break through, but the presence of several wounded individuals in the center of the formation slowed their progress, and they could only slowly erode their energy and time under the monsters' onslaught.

"Slow death."

Shaking his head, Lin Yi had no intention of going out to help them out. Instead, he hid in the passage and observed the terrain of this space. The progress bar on his retina, which had been moving slowly, suddenly sped up considerably.

Three minutes later, estimating that the terrain data in the vicinity had been collected, Lin Yi was about to turn around and leave when footsteps suddenly came from behind him in the passage—more than one.

For a moment, Lin Yi was caught in the middle.

He took 0.5 seconds to think, then turned around again at 0.6 seconds, silently chanting the incantation "Little Fireball" while accelerating—

"Hold on, comrades, I'm coming!"

Inside the underground cavern, the adventurers, who had already fallen into despair, stared in astonishment at the magician who had "descended from the sky." What was particularly striking was the fireball in his palm that was spinning rapidly and growing larger at an astonishing speed. Some of the adventurers couldn't help but shout with excitement, but as they got closer to each other, their shouts turned to terror.

"Hey, stop."

"do not come!"

"Throw it away immediately—"

The words of protest had no effect on the approach of the "rescue" team. As the "small fireball," now the size of a human head, crashed into the center of the position, the massive explosion and flames illuminated the entire area...

"Ais, did you hear that?"

"Ah."

Without saying much, the blonde swordswoman drew her longsword and ran towards the direction from which the loud noise had come. A few seconds later, a scene of devastation appeared before her at the end of the passage.

"This is……"

The gloomy atmosphere inside the dungeon was completely dispelled by the crimson flames, and the originally slightly cold air turned into scalding heat. Even from such a distance, one could feel waves of heat when breathing, which gives one an idea of ​​the situation of those who stayed in the center.

Ignoring the other girls, she jumped down, scattering goblin remains along the way. But the most tragic scene was in the center... around the charred remains that were almost unrecognizable, half-melted metal armor and blades were piled on a thin layer of lava. A look of sadness appeared in the blonde girl's eyes, but she was quickly drawn to another situation.

Behind the pitch-black boulder, a still-intact black humanoid figure lay sprawled on the ground, with only the slight rise and fall of its chest indicating that it was still alive.

----------segmentation----------

The icy touch roused Lin Yi from his deep slumber, and the moment he opened his eyes, he knew he had succeeded.

"Are you ok?"

Judging from the background above, it was still inside the underground city, which made Lin Yi a little disappointed.

Quickly casting aside these unnecessary emotions, he struggled to his feet, his body weakened by the depletion of magic, and looked at the blonde girl before him with a bewildered expression.

"This is... liu扒玖鷗岜O（四）球吴..."

"This is the first level. I'm sorry I couldn't rescue your teammates."

After a moment of shock, sadness followed: "He, they..."

"…Please accept my condolences."

Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 369 Ais Wallenstein

What followed was a natural progression.

Having lost his teammates after encountering a "powerful monster" and being seriously injured himself, Lin Yi was taken in and protected by this Loki Familia. On his way back to Orila, he learned about the general information of this team, especially the blonde female swordsman who "saved" him.

"Ais Wallenstein, that's my name."

Subconsciously grasping her outstretched hand, Lin Yi asked hesitantly, "My name is Thor... May I ask, are you the 'Sword Princess'?"

nod.

"I didn't expect to meet you here..."

His slightly raised spirits returned when he recalled his fallen "teammates," and under the "Fiora's" worried gaze, Lin Yi smiled wryly and said, "Sorry to let you see my outburst."

Shake his head.

The return journey was spent in silence. During this time, Ais left for a while, seemingly to talk to her teammates. For some reason, Lin Yi did not intend to eavesdrop, since he could probably guess what she was doing based on her behavior.

As expected, when Lin Yi returned to Orila after leaving the dungeon, the "Sword Maiden" extended an invitation to him.

"Let's explore together next time."

Generally speaking, the followers of different gods cannot team up for exploration; they can only team up with followers of the same god. This is particularly disadvantageous for the Hestia Familia, which only has one follower. However, there are exceptions. It is possible for the two followers to maintain a certain distance after entering the dungeon, but the problem is that this is meaningless for both parties—the protector needs to spend a lot of time and energy protecting the other follower, while the protected must be constantly vigilant against potential dangers that are beyond their control.

So even if such a "loophole" exists, no adventurer would take advantage of it. The reason the other party made the offer this time was because they saw the pitiful scene of Lin Yi being all alone after the "team was wiped out". Otherwise, they would not have made such a one-sided benefit invitation that was almost like "cheating".

And this was precisely the original intention behind Lin Yi's previous actions.

After a period of "difficult" thought, Lin Yi gratefully accepted the Loki Familia's invitation and made a promise to explore the dungeon together again next time.

"A good person."

Watching Loki's family depart, the smile on his face faded: "In every sense of the word."

----------segmentation----------

At night, a girl's surprised cry came from Hestia's residence.

"How can it be--"

Despite the strange sensation of her body rubbing against his back, Lin Yi asked, "Is there a problem, my lord?"

"Family member...where did you go today?"

"The first level of the dungeon."

"But if it's only the first tier..."

Looking at the text records that appeared behind Lin Yi, Hestia was deeply puzzled.

Generally speaking, an adventurer's adventure level increases are often calculated in years, but this is not constant. Sometimes, some exceptionally talented adventurers can advance in less than a year. However, they all have similar prerequisites: either they have innate strong talent or they possess combat skills that transcend the rules. And what about Lin Yi?

Name: Thor

Power: 15

Constitution: 15

Agility: 15

Spirit: 30

Characteristic: Fire Affinity (Increases the power of fire magic by 20%)

Ability: Small Fireball

Adventure Level: LV2

The word "ordinary" is not enough to describe his ordinariness. His only fire affinity trait and the "Little Fireball" skill are common items that he automatically acquires after becoming a familiar. However, this adventurer, who is extremely ordinary in every aspect, has accomplished in just a few days what others might not be able to do in several years.

Adventure Level: LV2.

Subconsciously, the deity frowned.

Noticing the unusual situation behind him, Lin Yi had no choice but to speak again: "I suddenly remembered that I encountered a dying monster while exploring the first level today. If it hadn't been unable to move and could only stay in place, I definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat it with my small fireballs. Even so, it took me a long time to defeat it... It was really dangerous."

"Eh……"

"What's wrong, my Lord?"

"Haha... Be careful next time something like this happens, because you won't always be this lucky."

Although some doubts remained, Hestia breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the explanation. She channeled her divine power and warned in a serious tone, "You are Hestia's only familia. You must not fail without my permission... Alright, you are already a Level 2 adventurer. Since you have not been able to awaken new abilities on your own, you will have to choose your own new talents and abilities."

Generally speaking, life forms living in this highly active world will always awaken talents or abilities during their growth process due to various innate or acquired factors. This is especially true for the more powerful life forms. In this respect, the character played by Lin Yi is indeed no match for those with outstanding talents—after all, he is not originally from this world, and is only a fragment of information. It would be a miracle if he could awaken anything.

Of course, these things couldn't be explained to Hestia. Although she seemed a little disappointed, Lin Yi could only ignore it.

"I should still enhance my fire affinity. I feel I have a considerable talent for controlling fire elements, so I'll continue to strengthen my fireball skill."

As Hestia was the first familiar to Lin Yi, she had little experience and could only follow his instructions to strengthen herself. In this regard, Lin Yi was grateful to the adventurers who had instructed him to find Hestia, because if she had signed a familiar contract with another experienced god, the very fact that she wanted to choose her own "strengthening" would have been a big problem.

A few minutes later, as a slight stinging sensation came and the weight pressing on her back was removed, Lin Yi, now free, finally relaxed her tense heart.

I don’t know when it started, but not only the physical body, but also the projected information body has become increasingly resistant to external contact, and only feels at ease when surrounded by the space and energy it creates.

(A side effect of the leap...)

"Dependents."

"Yes?"

I looked up and met a pair of eyes full of interest.

"I, Liuxia Jiuwu Ba Lingsiqiu, have a task for you!"

Lin Yi had a bad feeling about it.

"Find new companions and become the second Hestia Familia!"

Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 370 Frankenstein

It was so troublesome that Lin Yi almost wanted to give up on Hestia and join the ranks of other divine beings.

Generally speaking, in a city created and maintained by the gods, there should be countless people the gods want to find willing to sign a contract with them and become their servants, but that is only the general situation.

The Hestia clan currently faces two unfavorable conditions.

The first is the disadvantage inherent in the Hestia clan itself.

Because different family members cannot cooperate, adventurers generally choose to join powerful divine family members. This way, they can not only receive protection from other family members in the early stages, but also receive more beneficial assistance from the gods in terms of information and power later on. In this respect, only Lin Yi's adventure level 2 family member, the Hestia family, can compare.

That alone would be fine. If the first condition narrowed the Hestia Familia's choices by 90%, then the "disadvantages" from Lin Yi himself completely locked up the entire pool.

As an information entity, Lin Yi has never forgotten his original purpose for coming to this world. It has to be said that discovering Hestia, a god without any familiars, was a lucky thing. Otherwise, dealing with the familiars who belong to Hestia's faction would be a troublesome matter, let alone exploring the dungeon in a team.
