A/N: First Thing First: Look at this beautiful fanart done by  dreamybabe on Quotev! (https://www.quotev.com/dreamybabe) 

They're so talented :D!!!

Thank you so much! <3 They look so pretty!!!! 


Despite the upcoming events, the sun still dipped towards the horizon as a gentle breeze rustled through all of heaven. You, a goddess of immense power, sat gracefully at a round table set with porcelain teacups and a large steaming pot of fragrant tea. Your presence was like a divine light, radiating a serene energy that made the flowers respectfully bow in your presence. As you awaited in a private garden, you heard the doors of the garden open and the heavy footsteps of a large group.

"(Y/n), you're early" you hear Brunhilde's voice as she approaches you from behind.

You blew on your hot drink to cool it, "Yes, I figured things need to be done quickly, we don't have much time". You looked up at the Valkyrie.

She furrowed her brows, "Well, I brought the heroes... most of them..."

"Hm?" Your brow rose in surprise as you tilted your head to look past Brunhilde. Behind her stood all of her sisters, tall and short, peering at you with a mixture of curiosity and confusion. By their sides were four humans, their faces reflecting the same sentiments but each of them still radiating a distinct aura of determination and strength.

"The other fighters wanted to enjoy themselves a bit before their fight" sighed Brunhilde, "you will meet them along the way"

A sad but understanding smile overtook your face when you realized that a certain blond man wasn't in the crowd, "What a shame, it would have been nice to see him again..." you gestured to the table, "Please take a seat, everyone"

Their eyes held a mix of awe and apprehension as they took their seats around the table. You extended a warm smile, your voice carrying a soothing melody as you spoke, "I see your brought all of your sisters, Brunhilde"

"Yes, they are what will give the humans a boost," Said Brunhilde boldly with a firm assurance in her voice.

"Is that so?" You gaze in awe at these demigod girls, all of them studying you in silence. Your eyes sweep over their faces, seeing a mix of emotions that range from curiosity to apprehension.

"Yes," exclaimed Brunhilde as she looked at each one of her sisters with determination. "They all possess incredible abilities that will help the humans."

Suddenly, a voice boomed through the room and all eyes turned towards it, "Don't forget about us, we're the ones doing the fighting!"

It was a young man with long, flowing light hair and a feminine appearance. He had a look of confidence on his face as he rested his head lazily on his palm. His stare was an unyielding declaration of confidence, while the corner of his mouth hinted at something smugly amusing going through his mind. He sported an air of arrogance that could only come from someone who is confident in their own worth and place in the world.

It was one of the human fighters, Michel Nostradamus, the "Prophet of the Century".

"Be patient, my dear friend," the man next to him let out a light chuckle, "We got a big fight ahead of us"

The man was tall and muscular, with long hair pulled back into a ponytail. He gripped his steaming cup of tea in one hand, waving it around joyfully. His expression seemed casual and relaxed, as if nothing in the world could ruin his mood.

"Do you have any alcohol?" he asked, the hopefulness and anticipation in his brown eyes clear as day.

You shook your head at Kojiro Sasaki, "History's Strongest Loser."

"Perhaps another time," he heaved a heavy sigh in disappointment at your answer but managed a small smile as he took a sip of his tea.

"Alcohol would have been better," grunted a deep, gruff voice from a tall and muscular figure. He had numerous battle scars across his body, long unkempt dark hair, and tattoos of a dragon that seemed to curl around his arms. Additionally, he had razor sharp teeth like that of a shark; intimidating yet strangely fascinating all at the same time.

It was LΓΌ Bu, also known as "The Flying General."

"This is a fine cup of tea," commented an older man in his posh accent, "quite fragrant and warm" he mused as he took a few sips of his tea.

He was a distinguished looking man with silver hair and mustache, and a monocle that covered his eye with an intricate arrangement of gears. His outfit consisted of a sleek gray Victorian Era formal suit accompanied by a blood red coat and a red steampunk top hat. He had the air of an English gentleman, his words and demeanor refined and elegant.

He was known as Jack The Ripper, "Humanity's Most Infamous Serial Killer."

"Everyone, shut up. Let's begin," said Brunhilde as she took out another scroll, "The thirteen God fighters have already been chosen..." she gritted her teeth in displeasure as she read through it and stayed silent.

GΓΆll's eyes were large like saucers as she also took a glimpse at the list of God Fighters and quickly started sweating bullets, "No way! This... This..." she was at loss for words.

You, sitting next to her, peered at it with curiosity, "Oh my~" you giggled, "It seems the Gods are really taking this seriously. That's a surprise"

Brunhilde asked, "Lady (Y/n), this is no laughing matter!! Zeus... Shiva... Odin... Anubis... Buddha..." Her blood ran cold as she read through the list of all the Gods who were participating. She hadn't anticipated they would choose such powerful entities. This was far more difficult than she had anticipated.

"Hehe.." you couldn't help but laugh, "I know, I'm sorry. It's funny I wasn't added to the list. Not that I'd fight for the Gods, but Zeus would have added me out of pettiness." You could almost hear his high-pitched, grating laugh echoing in your head.

"Well, it's not going to be funny when we end up losing," huff Brunhilde. Sure, she had confidence in the strength of the humans, but looking at the list... it made her nervous... She anxiously glanced over at her sisters, fully aware of their impending fate. Her own decision was a massive gamble, yet when she turned to you, there was nothing but an eerie calmness. You were an enigma that she still couldn't figure out.

GΓΆll suddenly started panicking and quickly pointed at you, "Can't you use your Godly powers to...oh- I don't know...help us?" She asked, her voice trembling from fear and disbelief.

"Don't worry too much," you sip your tea, "The chances of the Gods winning is the same as us... or lower since I am here."

"Hang on!" One of Brunhilde's sisters slammed her hands on the table, causing some tea cups to spill, "Is anyone else going to question the elephant in the room?"

She was one of the smaller Valkyries, HlΓΆkk was her name.

"Whatever do you mean?" you said.

"Well..." Her eyebrow twitched in annoyance, "I mean you! You're a God, aren't you? Which means you are our enemy!"

The room went into an awkward silence as everyone's gaze shifted towards you. You simply smiled knowingly and nodded your head.

"Indeed, I am a God," you said calmly, "But I have no desire to go against Humanity,"

"Brunhilde sighed, "Calm down HlΓΆkk. This is Lady (Y/n), a Goddess of life who claims she is the true creator of humanity... She is helping us in our fight."

"Oho~" chuckled Michel, "We're in the presence of a strong God?" He looked at you with a smirk, his face growing darker as he considered having a fight with you. A grin slowly spread across his face as he realized that his desire for a fight had nothing to do with malice; he simply knew you were strong enough to make for an exciting match.

You smiled in response and nodded your head. "It would certainly be an interesting fight, but not right now" you said, "Let us continue..."

ΰΌΊβ˜†ΰΌ»

The meeting continued with Brunhilde informing everyone in detail on their opponents, The Gods. All the while, she could feel everyone's gaze darting towards you from time to time. A not-so-subtle reminder that she was an otherworldly presence, a Goddess no one had previously encountered in their lifetimes. In spite of this, Brunhilde carried on with her briefing. She knew she was essential for Humanity's survival if they were to defeat The Gods.

"So for the first round the Gods have chosen Thor," said Brunhilde.

"Who should we choose?" gulped GΓΆll.

You pointed at LΓΌ Bu, "I believe LΓΌ Bu will be a great match for him."

With a look of knowing strength, (Y/n) chose LΓΌ Bu from amongst those sitting before her. She His courage and determination radiated through his presence as his gaze slowly turn to you. The Chinese-Mongolian man's eyes widened in shock, but it quickly transformed into a determined and fierce grin.

"Good," he growled, his muscles tense and coiled as he thirsted for a fight with a deity. At last, there was someone to test his might and courage.

"I'm glad you're excited," you chuckled sensing his eagerness to fight, "How about we do some training, we have less than a week to prepare for the first round."

"Train?" Brunhilde said, eyebrows lifting in surprise. The rest of the group directed their gaze to LΓΌ Bu, similarly taken aback. He looked at you with confusion but said nothing.

"Yes, I have no doubt LΓΌ Bu is strong... But he has never fought a God before..."

You can't help but smile at the powerful male figure before you, recalling his long journeys and feats he accomplished while still alive. There is no doubt in your mind that he will prove to be a good match for Thor. Although, for all his strength and courage, he is still only human. He may never know what it is like to be immortal or to command lightning down from the skies like Odin's son.

ΰΌΊβ˜†ΰΌ»

"I hope you don't take it easy on me just because I'm a woman," you said with an air of playfulness as you stretched your arms. You changed your usual sophisticated outfit for a more comfortable one, consisting of a loose long sleeve shirt and soft high waisted workout pants. Despite the change of wardrobe, you still maintained that distinguished and divine aura. An air of self-assurance was present as you prepared to begin.

LΓΌ Bu fixed his gaze upon you and cinched his grip on the halberd with enthusiasm.

"I don't ever go easy on anyone," He said. He was excited now, full of energy and strength that only a warrior could possess.

You said nothing in reply but instead slipped into a defensive stance, readying yourself for whatever came next.

Brunhilde and GΓΆll were seated at a round table, awaiting the start of the training session. Brunhilde was already busy devouring countless pieces of salmiak pie and making a mess in the process. She couldn't imagine you having the strength to battle, yet she remembered that you had tried to battle Zeus.

A familiar tan man stood next to them with an expression of displeasure on his face, seemingly disgusted by the fact that bits and pieces of pie were flying around everywhere. He eyed the two girls dubiously, particularly Brunhilde who was making a mess.

"What are you looking at?" Brunhilde chomped down on her piece of salmiak and glare back at the man, "And who are you, anyways"

"I am (Y/n)'s personal servant, Visel. I am here to attend to My Lady..." He said, now staring at the training field where The goddess and the human man were about to begin.

"Servant you say?" hum Brunhilde, she lifted her empty cup with expectation, "Pour me more tea won't you?"

"I'm not your servant! I'm (Y/n)'s servant! POUR YOURSELF!" Visel yelled with a comical outburst.

They circled each other warily, their eyes locked and fierce. He held a halberd in his hands, its blade gleaming menacingly in the light of the arena. The goddess woman stood tall and graceful, her hands clenched at her sides as she prepared to defend herself with nothing but strength. Suddenly he lunged forward with a powerful downward swing of his weapon that she gracefully avoided by leaping back; she moved quickly on flexible feet while he recovered from his missed attack. He brought back his balance and grin in satisfaction before preparing for another attack. He cast a glance in your direction, and he knew right away that you were a worthy fighter. You appear to be swift and agile, and you are confident in your movements.

The silent man swept up his halberd and charged at you with speed rivaling the wind itself. You met his attack by weaving to the side, and spinning swiftly as you retaliated with a swift kick towards his weapon. The force of the collision sent sparks flying through the arena, and yet you remain calm as if nothing had happened.

The three awestruck bystanders watched in awe as the air from the collision caused their hair and clothes to flutter wildly. Brunhilde observed with even more amazement as she watched LΓΌ Bu wield his signature halberd with great finesse. She came to the realization that, with her sisters' help, humans might have a chance at winning this tournament.

The other three watched the intense training session that was taking place between the two. It became quite apparent that (Y/n) was stronger than LΓΌ Bu, and although he had been put at a disadvantage, he was still managing to hold his own, as expected from a warrior.

As the fight dragged on, none of them noticed the drowsy man beginning to stir from behind them in a nearby bush. He had been lying there sleeping for some time, but now he was slowly getting up and shaking off his slumber.

Still sleep-ridden, He rose to his feet from the sound of clashing metal and fighting drifting through the air. His fingers ran through his messy locks as he walked silently behind the three people who had yet to notice his presence.

He cast a quick look around the three, who were to focus watching the fight, "What's going on?" he yawned.

The sound of the monotone voice jolted the three and their eyes widened in shock as they spun around.

GΓΆll widened her eyes in surprise when she spotted the man before her, realizing that he was wearing a fig leaf. But then she suddenly realized that was all he was wearing.

"Ahhh!!" she cried out, covering her eyes in embarrassment and shock.

Visel was also taken aback at the sight of the naked man, unable to hide his shock as he pointed an accusatory finger at him. "Have you no shame!? What if My Lady saw you?!"

Brunhilde was the only one who didn't bat an eye at his nudity and instead arched her eyebrow at the familiar man, "What are you doing here... How did you get here?!"

He rubbed his eyes, "I was napping."

His sleep-deprived eyes turned towards the fight and a familiar face suddenly caught his attention. It seemed as though you had felt the weight of someone's gaze because when you turned your head and locked eyes, time seemed to stand still. You stopped fighting mid-way when you saw those same blue eyes that were so familiar. Your shock-filled expression transformed into one of sheer joy.

"Adam!"

Welcome to another Record of Ragnarok Secret Corner Moment! Thank You for Reading!

(Y/n), the goddess, was faced with a dilemma, now that all of her fellow Gods had become her enemies the moment she allied herself with humanity. She was at a loss for what to do, until she realized that LΓΌ Bu - the renowned fighter - might have some experience of similar situations. She is now in a position where she must reluctantly confront her own kind, the Gods, for the sake of humanity's survival. Hoping he could offer some insight, she decided to seek him out and ask for his advice.

"I need your guidance, LΓΌ Bu," you sighed, your voice heavy with despair, "How do I deal with my enemies that were once companions?"

Without hesitation LΓΌ Bu said only two words, "Kill them."

"What?!" you gasped, losing your calm composure from the blunt response.

"I'll help you," he seemed uncertain due to your reaction but pulled out his weapon, ready to back you up.

"No," you shook your head, "That's a bit extreme. I was hoping for a more passive solution,"

"Oh..." He stayed silent, "killed them only a little bit?"

"..."
