Chapter 5: Chapter 4 - Call Me “Darling”
I stayed in the room while waiting for Hephaestus.
When she came out, she had a towel wrapped around her body. I didn't remember it, but she has huge breasts. Also, her body is slim and beautiful. And I don't even need to mention her firm and perfectly shaped butt—it made me want to squeeze it.
"What is it? Are you just going to keep staring at me? You should have breakfast and get back to your training."
"Training?"
"What? Did you forget about your training? Was last night that good?" Hephaestus smiled and let the towel fall. I could finally analyze every part of her body. Her skin was as smooth as porcelain and looked incredibly soft.
I don't have memories of last night, and I can't recall the feeling of touching her body or the sensation of having sex with her.
I want to do it. I want to feel it.
But when I approached and tried to embrace Hephaestus, she refused.
"I already told you, we did that last night, and I'm tired. Go have breakfast—I'll meet you downstairs."
"Alright, Hephaestus, I'm going."
"What kind of tone is that? When we're alone, you always call me 'Darling.' Why did you suddenly change? Did I upset you or something?"
"Darling? Oh, right. No, of course not. I'm going, Darling."
Feeling embarrassed, I called her "Darling."
Even though I felt awkward, I was happy to see Hephaestus's satisfaction when I called her that.
I didn't think she could be so adorable.

"What is this training she mentioned? And how did I even end up in this situation?"
Then, a message from the system popped up:
[You can view the user's story by saying 'Background.']
"Background?"
When I said that, a vast window filled with text appeared suddenly. Despite the amount of text, I read it all very quickly.
I remembered that the system created a "random background" for me.
And the "background" it created wasn't great!
The story is simple despite being long.
I was born into a poor family outside Orario. I came to this city to become an adventurer like many others. But when I met the Hephaestus Familia, I became fascinated with blacksmithing.
It was just like me in my previous world.
I was amazed by the Blacksmith class in "New World".
Because of that, I decided to join the Hephaestus Familia to become a blacksmith.
But I wasn't accepted due to my lack of skill.
After three months of studying, though, I discovered I had a natural talent for blacksmithing.
Finally, I created my first weapon and returned to the Hephaestus Familia.
Once again, Hephaestus didn't want to accept me into her Familia, but I begged, and she allowed me to join the Familia and start training... mostly out of pity. In the end, I ended up receiving a falna.
She assigned two level-two Familia members to help me.
And then FOUR DAMN YEARS passed. Yes, four years.
I'm 21 now. I've been in endless training since I was 17.
But during this time, I grew very close to Hephaestus for some reason. She began to ignore my lack of skill and focused on my appearance, respect, and dedication.
Over time, we got close enough to develop romantic feelings for each other. Finally, after another four months of what felt like a cliché mediocre manga romance, we had our first kiss.
From there, the relationship progressed quickly.
Our first time having sex was just three months ago, and we got married only a month ago.
Yes, we got married!
But it was a rather strange marriage...
Hephaestus held a wedding ceremony where it was just me and her.
In the end, it's as if we're married, but no one knows about it.
Even though people don't know we're married, many know we were dating—especially the members of the Hephaestus Familia. Of course, they don't approve of this relationship at all.
And so, here we are now.
I'm "married" to Hephaestus, stuck in never-ending training.
"Seriously, is this supposed to be a legendary background? I'm literally seen as trash by most people, except for Hephaestus."
But at least I have a goddess who loves me and stands by my side.
It's a better start than being a beggar or a nobody.
If I had arrived in this world as a beggar, I might not have had the resources to use this blacksmithing system.
"Alright, I need to focus and improve my blacksmithing skills to become someone respected."

Walking around the place, getting lost a few times (since I had no memories, just a story written by the system), I finally reached the room where breakfast was served.
When I got to the room, there was a massive table with several people eating.
Everyone's eyes fell on me.
"Hey, hey, isn't that the Goddess' boyfriend?"
"He never shows up here, what's gotten into him?"
"Why is he here? Doesn't he know he's not welcome?"
"He's handsome, but I feel disgusted looking at his face."
I started hearing some unnecessary things. But it didn't affect me. In the end, they weren't talking about me since I had just arrived in this world.
They were talking about this body, the person created by the system. I wasn't controlling this body before.
It's hard to understand all of this, I know.
But since the way they looked at me didn't affect me, I walked to one of the only empty seats and sat down.
I sat down next to a man and a woman, respectively.
When I sat down between them, they both left the table simultaneously!
I smiled bitterly and started eating.
