"Hmm…. Even after everything I'm always low on materials…." I couldn't help but mutter as I looked at my foundry before going to sit down in a chair.
My room has gotten some actual furniture in it, a desk with chair, a table with a few chairs, a wardrobe and an actual bed, getting these things required me to rearrange my room.
But their was still plenty of open space with nothing in it, though I did enjoy the new look I made for myself, a set of clothes and armor that felt like a true mix between this world and the Warframes world when it came to looks, not only that I built myself 'Sun and Moon' the dual Katana's of a man who would have become my master in the way of combat, but one I would never meet myself.

"It's really sad that he dies, but then again he also doesn't die? Duviri is weird like that." I couldn't help but say while thinking about the universe and story of Warframe.
As for why I had built these weapons specifically to be wielded by me outside my Warframes? It's just a precaution on the chance someday I won't have access to my Warframes that I need to know how to fight and kill by myself.
There's always a possibility that 'just for fun' The Indifference would take away my ability to use my Warframe and leaving me all alone, and while I could be a high level at that time but me personally having no actual combat experience as is I need to learn how to fight.
"I could ask Noir to train me, luckily I'm not restricted to just Amps for ranged combat." I mutter while looking over a selection of weapons I can use along with the sidearm Siccoro that could be used to channel my Void Energy to attack my enemies with near infinite ammo as long as I have access to void energy.
'Though thinking about it, it's only fun being me in any situation when your in Duviri, and only in Duviri, any other time the operator was used to boost energy or deal with things only they could when Warframes were disabled.' There's a major difference between the operator in the main game and the operator in Duviri and going into the dungeon just as myself is like playing Duviri with none of the benefits of playing Duviri.
"Well, I could level up as is, after all that fight with the Infant Dragon was considered enough of a feat to allow my level up, but Loki wants to wait until Finn and the rest return from their expedition." I say to myself as I look over the sheet of paper I had gotten when I came back after that battle a few days ago.

The stats I had were clearly unprecedented in this world, but I didn't let this go to my head, I'm only getting stats like this because of my Warframes doing all the work and soaking up all the damage whenever any came their way in the dungeon.
Though I now personally resided within my Warframes instead of using my capsule to control the body from a distance it still doesn't change the fact my Warframes were the stars of the show were as I am not.
This wasn't me having a low opinion of myself it was simply a fact, "Enough talking yourself down Hayden, what else do I need?" I said while I began to scroll through the large list of weapons and Warframes to make for me, Loki and the others to help strengthen our Familia.
*Knock Knock Knock*
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow before I got up and approached the door and opened it.
"Yeah? Need something?" I couldn't help but ask, it was another member of my familia, another level one adventurer like me named Dorian who was one of the several low level adventurers that were set on rotation to guard the manor once a week, and today seemed to be his day to guard the manor.
"Hayden? Uhh, you got a visitor." He said making me even more confused, me? Have a visitor? Why? I couldn't help but think this in my head.
"And who is it exactly? I wasn't expecting anyone today at all." I ask him.
"It's the Newly Appointed Captain of the Hephaestus Familia, Tsubaki Collbrande." He said saying her name and title.
'The Hephaestus Familia? The hell do they want?' I thought for a moment before I soon put two and two together and looked back to see my Warframes on standby before looking back at him.
"Sure, I'll have a chat with her." I said before leaving my room and following him back into the manor and to the lobby where my guest was waiting.
As soon as I entered I saw her, she was a young woman with tan skin, short black hair reddish brown eyes, wearing what appeared to be old style Japanese clothes that I didn't know the name to since I wasn't too familiar with Japanese culture but I at least knew what a yukata was and that wasn't what she was wearing, though Japan isn't in this world however they do have Asian like country's to the far east giving a hint at her heritage, along with all that she had a katana at her side and an eyepatch going over her left eye.
She saw me as well and looked over my clothes, my armor and especially my Sun and Moon at my sides, "You know I was originally asked to talk about the armor that my goddess sent me to look into along with those strange weapons, but now my interest is peaked on even the relatively normal looking armor and weapons at hand." She said standing up and looking at my outfit more closely.
"Even this armor has magic imbued in it? Does the Loki Familia have someone with the Mystery skill as well as the Blacksmith skill?" She said as she studied my armor and when she went to touch it I pulled back.
"Whoa there lady, barraging me with a bunch of questions and wanting answers to things you and your Familia have no reason to know about? If you weren't the Hephaestus Familia's Captain I would have already told you to take a hike." I couldn't help but say, maybe it wasn't her intention but she was coming off wrong to me with the way she was acting, but it could also just be because she's overly passionate about her profession leading her to be a bit pushy at the moment.
She pulled back and waved her hands, "Sorry, Sorry, I didn't mean to come off like that, just the only things that catch my interest is blacksmithing and how weapons and armor are made by people better than myself." She said, making it clear to me she is just enthusiastic when it comes to blacksmithing weapons and armor.
I raised an eyebrow before crossing my arms as I looked at her, "Okay, so what is it exactly you are here for then?" I said cutting to the chase as I knew she was interested in my weapons, armor and 'Magic Armor' but the real question is why?
She cleared her throat before looking at me seriously, "My Goddess wishes to see these weapons and armor of yours, with compensation of course." She says but-
*Bang!*
"Now hold it right there little lass, are you and Hephy thinking about poaching my beloved little boy right from under me?" Loki said as she strode into the room with a smile on her face, but not the friendly kind, more the smile of a snake.
One things for sure, I was getting attention from the gods, but whether it's good or bad remains to be seen.
