Falan arrived at the third floor of the Soma Familia's residence and made his way to the room in the center.
He placed his hand on the door, wanting to knock but stopping himself. He wanted to say something, yet hesitated.
"Lord Soma, I'm back."
Taking a deep breath, Falan finally reported in.
Although Soma had said that they could come to Him if anything happened,
there was still a gap in status between gods and mortals.
For example, with this matter, if it had not truly affected his safety,
Falan genuinely would not have wanted to disturb the god. However, to his surprise,
the door was quickly opened. The gloomy god pulled it open,
then complained with His eyes, You're being too loud, before turning and returning to the room.
Seeing this, Falan hurriedly followed. Once he entered, he closed the door behind him.
He then saw the god of wine wave both hands, and streams of energy filled the entire room.
"This is..." Falan could not help feeling puzzled. What was his god doing?
"This is divine power. Although the rules say that we cannot use divine power after coming to this world, it is more of a self-imposed restriction. Even if we use it, as long as we are not caught, no one will say anything. It is an unspoken rule among the gods!"
"So, Falan? Why have you come to see me so late today? Is something wrong?"
"Uh..." Falan thought for a moment before carefully saying, "It's about my magic. I assume Lord Soma already knows."
Yet, to his surprise, Soma shook His head. "I don't. Do you really think we gods are omniscient and omnipotent? You've met several gods already, so you should know that we have emotions and desires. Omniscience and omnipotence? That is nothing more than a mortal rumor."
"Don't rush to explain. Look, even though I am using divine power, can I know what you are thinking? Even though we gods live far longer than mortals, I have still managed my Familia so poorly."
"Enough. Tell me, what is it? From what you said, has your magic been updated?"
"Magic update?" Falan looked puzzled. He had originally thought that, just as Eina had said at the Adventurer Guild, Soma had deliberately kept that slot blank due to the circumstances!
"I should explain this as well. Magic, especially self-awakened magic, is not initially recorded in one's status. If you want the ability details, the holder must first learn and cast the magic before it can be inscribed. This process is called a magic update."
At this point, Soma also guessed why Falan had come. "You came to me because your magic is unusual, correct?"
"Yes." Hearing this, Falan felt some regret. Who had told him to be so loose-lipped? Before understanding the situation, he had used his magic in front of so many people. Soma said, "Take off your clothes and lie face down on the table over there."
"Yes."
[Name]: Falan [Level]: lv.1 [Ability Values] Strength: i0→h100 Endurance: i0→i90 Dexterity: i0→i87 Agility: i0→i89 Magic: i0→h101 [Development Abilities]: [Magic]: Life Magic new 1. Backpack: Spatial limit of one thousand slots. Say "bag" to display the stored items as a panel for sorting. 2. Clear: Automatically picks up dropped items. Say "clear" to erase the things within an area. 3. Recover: Say "recover" to place an item into the recovery slot and restore its durability. 4. Mark: Say "mark" to mark a single item within your line of sight.
Once the latest Blessing status had been inscribed, Soma understood the situation.
"I see. Falan, your magic really is quite unusual."
"A Backpack with a limit of one thousand slots can save a party a great deal of labor every time they enter the Dungeon."
"Clear, aside from its automatic pickup ability, can also be used as attack magic. You can try that after you return."
"Recover means you will not need craftsmen. After all, the Soma Familia's reserves are enough to last you until you become a first-level adventurer."
"As for Mark? Its use may not be as great as the first three, but it could be useful for tracking."
Soma's assessment of his magic made Falan fall into thought.
He had originally thought that only his Backpack was overpowered, but he had not expected the other three
to also be extremely remarkable abilities in Orario. Not to mention the Backpack, which could save him from hiring Supporters.
As Soma put it, Clear could be used offensively, while Recover could save him from having to find craftsmen to repair his equipment.
What was he supposed to do now? Falan only felt that he had become even more vulnerable. Fortunately, he had only mentioned "Backpack" at the time.
"Wait, Falan. Try again. How exactly does your Backpack store things?"
"The Backpack's storage method?" Falan reached out and touched things around the room, repeatedly saying, "bag."
Very quickly, his Backpack slots filled with items, while the room itself was emptied.
Soma said, "Can it still hold more things after all that? Falan, come with me to the Captain's Office. Put everything inside into storage."
More than ten minutes later, the Captain's Office had also been emptied. Yet Falan's Backpack had only used a little over two hundred slots.
Then Soma said again, "Since we have taken everything that needs to be taken, let's go!"
"Go?" Falan looked confused. Go? Where were they going?
"Your ability is too unusual. It will be dangerous if you remain in the Soma Familia any longer. Come on, you have your own house in Orario, right?" Falan gave an "oh" and quickly led the way, taking the god Soma away.
