I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

The robbers turned their heads and saw three people standing in the middle of the road not far away. The one in the lead was a red-haired girl wearing an ivory mask.

"Put down your weapons and surrender! Otherwise, I won't be so polite!"

"Is it the military police? But there are only three of them."

Some of the robbers expressed disdain, but others immediately realized what was going on.

"Idiot! That's Nel Falla! A Level 2 powerhouse from the Ganesha Familia! She could take us all down by herself!"

"Nani!" "Run!"

One of the robbers reacted quickly, turning and running away. The remaining robbers hesitated for a moment, then also turned and ran. They ran at the fastest speed they had ever seen, disappearing into the roadside forest and heading deeper into it.

Nilu, along with the two people beside her, rushed to the black-haired youth's side.

Are you alright?

"I'm fine, they're the ones who are in trouble."

The young man pointed to the newlyweds lying on the ground groaning.

Nilu crouched down to observe the people. Fortunately, none of them had fatal injuries, but their recovery would take a considerable amount of time.

"Damn it, those bastards! They always choose to rob us when we're busy!"

"So you're saying they're repeat offenders?"

The young man asked curiously.

"That's right! They've been robbing and murdering people for years; the crimes they've committed are so heinous that even depriving them of any favors wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"They're not even sentenced to death for this?"

The young man was surprised.

"Orario doesn't face the death penalty; at most, she'll be stripped of her favors and exiled."

Even if they kill people?

"Um...yes."

Nilu's awkward reply made the young man burst into laughter.

"That's really heartwarming. With such a heartwarming law, ordinary people will definitely not be bullied by powerful adventurers."

"Um..."

Nilu choked and couldn't reply. The young man turned to face the forest where the robbers had fled.

"This officer must be the one in charge of security for Orario."

"I am not a commander, but the military police of our Ganesha clan, responsible for maintaining security and order in Orario."

"In that case, I would like to ask, if someone threatens your life and kills the enemy in self-defense, it shouldn't be considered a crime, right?"

"That... doesn't count."

"That's good."

After the young man finished speaking, he placed his right hand on his chest and began to chant.

"We are both a group and an individual, an individual and a group, a group with a hundred appearances and a thousand transformations!"

As the young man chanted, a man who looked exactly like him but with a slightly crazed expression appeared beside him.

"Hahaha! This time it's finally my turn to come out!"

"This is it!!"

Nilu stared in shock at the suddenly appearing madman. The madman ignored her and simply asked a question.

"Where is the target?"

The young man pointed to the forest.

"Ah! I see! They're all gathered together!"

The man raised his hand and pulled a red longbow out of the air. He nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring taut, and began to chant loudly with a crazed expression.

"O Lord, like the most holy morning sun! O radiant Lord who bestows wisdom, dignity and power upon the world!"

I earnestly request that you understand my true intentions, my beliefs, and everything I am capable of doing...

As he chanted, all the magic converged on the arrow nocked on the bowstring, and the entire arrow emitted a magical red light.

"Come, supreme being who created the stars and moon! Witness my deeds, my end, my divine sacrifice. After I fire this arrow that has exhausted all my strength, my mighty body will instantly shatter and vanish!"

The man's body was covered in cracks, as if he could shatter at any moment, but despite this, he still shouted out his last words.

"Stella!"

The arrow was released from the bowstring, transforming into a red meteor that instantly streaked across the forest before exploding with a deafening roar!

Volume 1: 3. The Newborn Astrea Familia

At the Ganesha Familia Military Police Office in Orario, Nel sat in the interrogation chair, glancing at the relaxed black-haired youth opposite her with a complex expression, before beginning her interrogation.

"Name."

"Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"gender."

"male."

Age.

"twenty."

"What are you doing in Orario?"

"Of course, I'm here to be an adventurer!"

"What's the deal with that clone? And what about that explosion?"

"Hey sis, this should be my personal secret."

"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. I'm very sorry."

Nilu was very happy and asked again.

"Why did you kill them just now? They've already escaped."

A young man named Fujimaru Ritsuka leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed.

"Are you asking me why I killed a group of butchers who have actually killed countless people in secret, in places unknown to others?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's question left Nel completely stunned.

"this......."

"They are indeed guilty, but... they shouldn't be treated so cruelly. Let's just blow them to smithereens."

After that meteor-like arrow was shot out, Nilu led two of her men to the explosion site to investigate. The result was that a ten-meter-wide crater had appeared at the scene, and around the crater, she found eight corpses that had been instantly incinerated into charred remains by the heat of the explosion.

"Such behavior is wrong. Even if they are criminals, they should be caught and tried, not subjected to vigilante justice."

"That wasn't vigilante justice. I killed someone after being threatened with my life by a group of robbers. Sir, you're my witness!"

"Nonsense, they clearly abandoned the robbery and ran away at that time."

"But my ability was activated during their robbery, only with a slight delay, and it only activated when you arrived, sir."

"what?"

Nel looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a bit of confusion.

"What kind of strange ability is this!"

"Sis, are you trying to pry into my personal secrets?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant you..."

"Just tell me whether they tried to take me or not."

"There was a robbery."

"Can I resist?"

"They can resist."

"That settles it then. Don't ask any more questions. The only answer is delayed ability!"

Nilu didn't know how to refute it. After struggling for a while, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

“But this is not how righteous people fight! They have all fled.”

"Where are you from, Dyna?"

Nel's statement prompted Fujimaru Ritsuka to make a sarcastic remark.

"Moreover, when it comes to justice, my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my deeds are just!"

"You talk like you're some kind of righteous god's servant!"

"That's right! I am a member of the righteous Astrea Familia!"

"well!!?"

Nel looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise.

"But the Astrea Familia is already..."

"I am a member of the newly formed Astrea Familia."

Fujimaru Ritsuka spread her arms wide, her magical power surging. Under the influence of the magic, a gold and silver emblem appeared on the white short cloak on her left shoulder, a scale sword with wings, which looked like a sword wrapped around a scale symbolizing fairness.

"As a follower of the Goddess of Justice, no one understands justice better than me!"

"This emblem! It really is the emblem of the Astrea Familia! And with the new Astrea Familia, is the goddess Astrea about to return to Orario?"

"That's right! I am the vanguard of the newly formed Astrea Familia!"

The clan symbolizing justice spoke, and Nel could say nothing more, so she could only sit down helplessly.

“Alright, Mr. Fujimaru Ritsuka, the testimonies of the other people present confirm that what you said is correct, but I still want to remind you of one thing.”

"Please speak."

"As a member of the Astrea Familia, I expect you to refrain from using such powerful attacks in public areas of Orario City."

"no problem!"

"Alright, you can leave now."

As she spoke, Nel stood up from her chair and extended her right hand to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"By the way, welcome back to Orario from the Astrea Familia."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also stood up and reached out to grasp Nel's right hand.

Thank you!

Leaving the military police office, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood on Orario's main street, looking up at the towering gray-white giant tower in the city center, and couldn't help but smack her lips.

"Wow, the Tower of Babel is really tall."

Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon? (or simply Dungeon World)

In this world, there exists a dungeon constantly spawning monsters. These monsters, once they reach the surface, indiscriminately attack any living creature. To protect the earth's inhabitants, the god Uranus descended to earth and single-handedly suppressed the dungeon. He then summoned the gorilla to the earth, tasking him with selecting human heroes to enter the dungeon and eradicate the periodically spawning monsters. This is the origin of the adventurer.

As for why the gods were willing to make such sacrifices for humanity, it was because they were so bored in the heavens! The gods of this world had lived for hundreds of millions of years, and had been fighting countless wars in the heavens out of boredom. So, after being summoned by Uranus, they immediately descended from the heavens to play a hero-raising game. They even made a pact that all gods in the mortal realm must seal their divine power and become ordinary people, only allowed to play the hero-raising game and forbidden from using their divine power in battle.

Thus, intelligent races, including humans, received divine favor and entered the dungeon to create great deeds and become heroes. The adventurers, driven by a thirst for heroism, engaged in frenzied competition and found amusement in each other. The creatures of the earth gained safety because the adventurers cleared the monsters from the dungeon. Everyone had a bright future!

The goddess Astrea was one of these deities who descended from the heavens.

Compared to the chaotic evil gods and pleasure-seeking deities, Astrea was a gentle and compassionate goddess who symbolized justice and order.

From the very beginning of establishing her clan, her philosophy was to use this power to maintain order and fairness in Orario.

Unfortunately, this concept of fairness and order clashed with the beliefs of those evil gods, and as a result, her followers were targeted.

The Astrea Familia, who were entrusted with the righteous order, were massacred by adventurers from the dark faction on the 30th floor of the dungeon, leaving only one LV4 Ryu Leon alive. The Astrea Familia was almost completely wiped out.
