Chapter 23 - Divine selection.After a while, Jayhan met up with the girls and the new addition to the team, Adonis Moonless.
As Jayhan approached, he could already see the young man staring him down with his black hat almost covering half his face.
'So, this is Adonis? He looks exactly like he did in the game. And probably just as annoying.'
Jayhan halted.
"I knew you could do it," he said, his eyes focused on Kara.
With her arms folded, Kara replied, "Looks like you did the same, too."
Jayhan couldn't help but throw a nervous glance the other way.
It was best not to interact with her, especially when she got like this.
Now turning his attention toward Adonis—
"Are you the leader here?" Adonis asked.
Jayhan replied, "And if I am?"
There was silence for a while, as if time had stopped itself.
Kara and Seo both wore the same expression, yet their thoughts were entirely different.
Veronica, on the other hand, was finding it hard to understand what was happening.
Scoffing, Adonis pointed at Jayhan.
"You don't look strong, not in the very least. If I am to follow anyone, they have to be stronger than I am and not carry around two beautiful girls to do their dirty business."
Jayhan sighed.
In all honesty, he was already expecting something like this to happen. In the game, not only did Seo Yuna try to abandon him on multiple occasions despite knowing he had a crush on her, but there were also times when she would try to sell him off to others, just to be rid of him.
And the only reason for that was simple—the character himself was suffering from main character syndrome.
Not many people could have a decent conversation with people like that.
Despite that, Jayhan still chose to add him to the group.
"The name is Jayhan Grimblade." He stretched his hand forward for a shake.
Adonis found it weird.
He at least expected Jayhan to defend himself in some way.
Is this to say he wasn't worth the trouble?!
[The character Adonis is insulted by your action.]
Jayhan completely ignored the system.
Obviously, Adonis was looking for a reason to fight. If he could somehow beat Jayhan in front of the girls, he could prove to them he was better.
Jayhan knew that was just a waste of time.
At this current time, Jayhan would be one of the few people who had done any type of upgrade to their stats.
Due to the previous quests, no one had really had the time to go
The more powerful their contractee turned out, the closer they got to reincarnating back into the world.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say the whole reason the taskmaster was doing all this was to bring the gods back.
All in all, just like in the game, most people chose their divine protectors without thinking.
Jayhan had already studied everything beforehand, so he wasn't too worried.
'The forgotten death god.'
These names, although they seemed like the real names of these divine protectors, were actually false names, a way for the Divine protectors to hide their identity.
Since there was a chance of people rejecting them from the options, their egos didn't allow it.
This particular god in question, as the name suggested, was a Divine protector who was forgotten by many, even her own people.
Jayhan knew who this was; he had played way too many games not to know.
'It would seem I was lucky enough to get you, Fallen god of the underworld, Ereshkigal.'
