Falna is an ability possessed by all Gods in Orario — their sole means of bestowing and unlocking human Vessels.
Any deity can use it; it has become so commonplace that it's nothing special anymore.
When Adam requested Falna as payment, even Ouranos, seated high upon his throne, froze in surprise.
"Falna... is that all you want?"
"Yes, just that." Adam nodded, "I'm very interested in this power. Although Goddess Hestia can use it too, she probably doesn't understand the principles behind it."
"Indeed, while Hestia loves reading, this isn't something she has access to." Ouranos said hoarsely, casually belittling the Goddess. Then, seeming to remember that the youth before him was her familia member, he added, "Of course, even if she could access it, she wouldn't want to."
"That's why I thought to ask you, Lord Ouranos, as the first god to descend to the lower world." Adam responded nonchalantly, "I'm sure you know the principles behind it — in fact, the very existence of Falna must have involved your participation!"
"A correct conclusion." Ouranos confirmed, "But why do you need this? As a mortal without divine power, you cannot bestow grace upon others — you must know this."
"Yes, I'm well aware. But I just want to understand its principles... is that not allowed?"
"..." This counter-question left Ouranos without any reason to refuse.
But he had actually been deceived.
The deities in Orario come from various pantheons and have countless Familia members. The fact that all deities can bestow the same power upon mortals means that any god can do it.
Which means... There's no reason Aqua couldn't do it!
As a goddess with divine power, if she understood how to implement it, he could refresh skill levels (Level Up again) in the Parallel World too!
"Well, Lord Ouranos?" Adam watched the sky god, who had fallen silent in thought, "This isn't something particularly important to you, is it?"
"You're right, I have no reason to refuse." Ouranos agreed, "However, if you want to understand the principles, you'll need to study this knowledge. I suggest you learn from Fels... after all, they were once known as the Sage."
"Eh, them?!" Adam exclaimed, staring at the skeleton beside them in shock. It looked nothing like an Adventurer.
"Alright, Fels, take Adam to the secret chamber and teach him the knowledge about Falna."
"Yes." Fels replied softly.
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Ouranos." Adam bowed respectfully.
"Think nothing of it — this is your earned reward." Ouranos waved his hand, gesturing for the youth not to be so formal. After a moment of silence, he added, "Adam, if I'm not mistaken, your skill level is almost at its limit, isn't it?"
"Let me correct you — it's not almost, it already is." Adam said proudly, "If I wanted to, I could reach Level 2 anytime now. I've already achieved Great Deeds."
Hearing his words, Ouranos wasn't surprised, but he made another request.
"Is that so? In that case, I have one more request for you."
"Delay announcing your advancement to Level 2."
Adam raised his eyebrows at Ouranos's words.
"Why should I do that?" But before the God could answer, he quickly continued, "Because what I'm going to do requires secrecy, right?"
"Yes, you're correct." Ouranos nodded "When Adventurers in Orario reach Level 2, they report to the Guild. This is then passed to the divine council, and finally, a god gives the new adventurer their Alias in the Denatus.
Moreover, if news spread that you reached Level 2 in just seven days, you'd instantly become famous — which would be very disadvantageous for the upcoming mission. That's why I want you to delay this announcement."
"Hmm... alright, I agree." Adam said after considering it.
After all, this kind of empty fame meant nothing to him, and delaying didn't mean it wouldn't be recorded eventually.
Of course, it would have been better if he could get some additional compensation. Unfortunately, the stingy sky god showed no indication of offering anything more.
"Well then, we'll head down now." Fels stepped forward after their conversation concluded and, after bidding farewell, led Adam away.
Ouranos watched silently, his gaze following their retreating figures — or perhaps peering into the future itself.
His eyes were filled with divine radiance.
After arranging things with Adam, Fels returned and bowed respectfully before Ouranos.
"Is everything arranged?" His tone was flat, as if nothing concerned him.
Fels nodded, "Yes, I've successfully planted the Eye in the Loki Familia."
"Good." Ouranos sat up straight upon hearing this. He regarded the matter with utmost seriousness as he instructed gravely, "Using Adam as a decoy to attract the enemy's attention will free our true Eye, allowing us to gather more information."
"But isn't Adam the Seed you chose?" Fels asked in confusion, "If you have such high hopes for him, why are you putting him in danger?"
"Fels, only by facing challenges and breaking free of their limitations can they grow into towering trees."
"You mean he needs to be tested?"
"Correct. And... he's not the only Seed." Ouranos gazed upward, as if peering through the ceiling at a certain rabbit youth battling against a horde of monsters.
"You'll learn soon enough." Ouranos dismissed Fels's question and commanded, "For now, keep watch over the Loki Familia and monitor their expedition team's movements."
"Yes, I understand." Fels nodded and disappeared into the shadows of the basement.
