The notification that appeared in front of Arthur was different than all others.
The normal notification that he would see were blue in color. And when he got warnings, those notifications were red in color.
But the one that he got now was dark purple in color. It was rather striking and stunned Arthur. A chill even went down his spine and a thousand thoughts flew through his mind.
'How… Already? They shouldn't have taken notice for a while…' Arthur thought while bracing himself.

~Gulp~
Seeing the title that had appeared in front of him, Arthur swallowed his saliva. The deities liked to appear as mysterious presences and would present a vague title to the players instead of revealing their names entirely. They liked to test the players out, thus it was a matter of fun for them as well.
'Loki…' Arthur knew about the title very well.
After all, it was a name that could inspire fear and frustration in even the top players.
Loki wasn't just any common deity… he was a god!
One that had troubled several other gods and had still come out on top often.
In Arthur's past life, Loki was infamous for having messed up several quests and changing the quest lines.
'Is he going to say anything?' Arthur wondered before his eyes wandered over to the other notification.
The green notification was still there and there was no change to it.
'Rather than Loki taking an interest, I would rather it be this one.' Arthur thought.
To him, a neutral deity was a lot better to handle than a chaotic one. After all, even among chaotic deities, Loki was rather unique. Even if he could offer player benefits, he could also mess them up really well if he ever wished to.
A Neutral deity though was a lot more predictable and wouldn't go back on their words easily. They were also a lot more reserved and wouldn't interfere with the players as much.
While most players preferred a good alignment deity over the others, it was actually not the best choice. Having a good deity as a patron meant that one would be targeted by the other Evil alignment and Chaotic alignment deities.
The same could be said for the Evil alignment deities, but it was a lot more difficult as it came with the additional penalty of being hunted down by most NPCs. It could also prevent the players from entering a lot of settlements.
There were risks to taking an Evil alignment deity as one's patron. And yet, there was no lack of players that had done exactly that.
A lot of the major quest lines of Morpheus Online were based on the concept of good versus evil, this the two player camps would strive to make their side the greatest.
Several thoughts continued to appear in Arthur's mind and he reckoned that the best way to behave right now was to do the same as before. If he showed different actions than normal, it might actually make Loki even more interested in him.
~Chitter~
While he was thinking about this though, the Dragon Horn Beetle let out a low sound. It walked up to Arthur and came to a stop in front of him.
"Ah… You did well." Arthur rubbed the beast's head.
~kurrrrr~
The beetle let out a pleased sound and lightly shook its body as if enjoying it. Though with a body as large as it, the movement seemed to cause the ground to tremble a bit as well.
