Multiverse Gacha

[49] Lost!

Above Entertainment District, the accumulated lust over the years had become prey this morning.

August was casually strolling along the Entertainment District streets, and the continuously attracted lust was now his sustenance.

Faintly, August could also sense his own gradual improvement.

This was completely different from the enhancements brought by leveling up.

In reality, falna were merely an overlay system, its strength did not affect the numerical value of the falna itself. Excelia converted a person's 'experience points' into ability values, thereby enhancing the adventurer's strength.

On the other hand, August, who absorbed lust, was tangibly increasing in strength, distinct from the falna system.

However, this was just speculation. August planned to return and update his falna with Loki. If his ability values skyrocketed, his speculation would be incorrect, if not, he would be correct!

At the same time, this allowed August to play coy.

If everyone's basic strength was 1, acquiring the falna would increase it to 1+N for all.

However, August could directly add '1' without increasing 'N,' making him formidable.

At that time, even if August was only at level 2, his actual strength might have surpassed level 5 or even level 6.

Moreover, although his strength could compete with top adventurers, he was still level 2, allowing him to significantly boost his strength through leveling up.

By then, with August's inherent strength and the power of the falna combined, he would undoubtedly dominate the entire Orario.

With these thoughts, a brilliant smile appeared on August's face.

After more than an hour, August had devoured most of the lust on Entertainment District.

However, he refrained from going to the central area where the lust was extremely intense.

Unsurprisingly, that was the residence of Ishtar Familia, also the old base of the Goddess of Beauty, Ishtar.

Inside, there were numerous battle courtesans. Even if they were all beautiful women, August was not afraid. If he were discovered, he could just enjoy himself.

However, the captain of Ishtar Familia was a monster that resembled a toad.

Before gaining sufficient strength, August had no intention of going there. If he were touched by that disgusting, August would feel nauseous for half a month.

Furthermore, August had no interest in the Goddess of Beauty, Ishtar.

Unlike Freya, although she had many men, Freya was selective. She only ate souls that sparkled. As for Ishtar, she was not picky at all. If you were willing, she would not refuse.

Most importantly, these two goddesses, although both goddesses of beauty, were different in August's eyes.

Thinking of it this way, August's face revealed a faint smile.

"After gaining a lot of strength, I should be almost equivalent to leveling up. Now, even though I'm still level 2, I should be able to match level 3."

August said slowly, not out of arrogance but because the boost in strength gave him confidence.

He felt that if he were to face as many level 2 monsters as before, not only could he stand unscathed until the end, but he could also ensure he could kill them all.

As the sky gradually darkened, there were more and more Amazon women around, and it was time to leave.

Having absorbed so much lust, August's strength had greatly increased, and thoughts about Freya began to emerge in his mind.

The lust emanating from Freya, in the form of her alias Syr, was simply indescribable.

As a goddess who had lived for millions of years, she had tasted all the male gods in Orario, and her own children had also received her favor.

The lust emanating from such a goddess was beyond description.

If August could absorb this lust, he genuinely anticipated how his strength would instantly soar.

It would be similar to a level 1 character instantly reaching level 100 after consuming a level 100 elixir.

However, without absolute strength, August preferred to keep his distance from Freya.

This woman's possessiveness was too terrifying, and she had an absolutely loyal soldier, Ottar, the only level 7 in Orario. Even if he helped Freya find other men, he wouldn't mind.

If he truly established a connection with this woman, she would definitely tie him up and keep him captive.

August had no doubt about this. This woman would get whatever she wanted, and if she couldn't, she would get it at any cost.

In the original story, Ishtar attempted to get involved with Bell and was directly defeated by Freya's Familia. She was then sent back to the heavens.

Thinking about this while walking forward, after a while, August suddenly realized a serious problem.

He seemed to be lost.

Yes, lost.

August had just arrived in Orario, and he was not familiar with many places in Orario.

Moreover, when he came to Entertainment District, he relied on his perception of lust, not knowledge of the route.

While on Entertainment District, August also circled around and hurriedly left when he noticed the increasing number of people.

However, as soon as he came out, August was lost in thought, and combined with his previous actions, he ended up completely lost.

Orario was called the Labyrinth City not just because of the presence of the dungeon but also due to its composition. It was built layer upon layer around Babel.

From above, it looked like a proper labyrinth with numerous layers. Looking around, there were houses, and there weren't many people passing by. Each one's face seemed to say, 'Don't mess with me.'

This sight made sparks fly in August's head.

This wasn't the modern world where you could use navigation or make a phone call when lost.

This was Orario, where events like assassinations, ambushes, poisonings, robberies, and more happened frequently.

"Hey, good guy over there, can you help me?"

Just when August didn't know what to do, a women's voice came from the side.

August's first reaction was to be on guard. In this place, August didn't know anyone, and he was near Entertainment District. Someone might be plotting against him.

"Hey, good guy, didn't you hear? Over here."

The voice sounded again, and August followed the direction of the voice, only to see a woman standing there...
