*Raven's search continued, looking over the biggest continent of Orbus, Aradon. Aradon had the highest population in the whole of Orbus, as well as being at the center of the maps. The death rate in Aradon was also high because of the constant dungeons and encounters with monsters like in a typical fantasy novel, with one exception being the trend of Churchs and temples for preying and holy magic had died down over the years. The intersection with gods was left as a myth and most people preferred to become adventurers with high danger to their life and high rewards, with no other way to heal then potions which are expensive and rare, in fact so rare that most of the "Adventurers" and Soldiers from the Royals were not able to afford a proper supply.
The number of Alchemists found in Aradon was roughly 1% of the population, but the supply of materials for alchemy was in abundance because of the constantly increasing dungeons.
The culture of Adventurers and Explorers was most famous in Aradon, but the type of person Raven was looking for was not an adventurer or an explorer, nor did an alchemist caught his eye, but one being caught his eye. In the many dark alleys of Aradon crime was high, because of the poverty rate of the people of Aradon and most jobs didn't pay enough.
In one such dark alley was a young child, that young boy was preying. Raven's skill "God's Eye" allowed him to see 3 things - the person's basic description, the person's stats and the person's traits, awakened or not. This particular child not older the 16, had a rare trait, a trait that allowed to collect Holy Powers by preying to a God. He did not know of this as Holy Magic had been left into the history books of Orbus. Seeing this Raven was dedicated to turn him into his first follower, after all if the first priest attracts attention then the chances of him gaining followers will increase.
Raven continued to observe the young boy to understand what might become his key to gaining this boy as his first follower. Raven's powers were limited as even if he learned quite a bit during his training, he had yet to use many of his skills, most skills were not registered in the System because according to it only after attaining hus first follower will those skills be unlocked again as Mastered Skills.
As his observation continued he was able to see just how bad the world's system of power and the difference between the common folks and the nobels was, but another person caught his eye, the Princess of Aradon or to say the only daughter of the Emperor of Aradon. He continued to observe them both to find the current moment to make either one his follower, the princess even if she had the potential to become a Saintess, she was heavily guarded and was not allowed to leave the Castle Walls because of her overly protective father. While, the young boy lived a life of a pushover trying to survive the harsh world.
Raven's observation started on 17 March 1327 [ Time according to Orbus's timeline ] and he finally saw the opportunity he was waiting for on 35 March 1327 [ Orbus has 40 days per month ], the young boy was in a problem. Even if Raven couldn't only see the world of Orbus, he could tell that 16 year old kid was in trouble. His financial problems had increased over time making him to enter as an Adventurer, to try his luck or he would be unable to feed his younger siblings. The young boy took the topic of being an Adventurer too lightly and reached the far end of the ladder, having been betrayed and taken life threatening wound, be layed there remembering all his happy memories with his younger siblings as he cried his eyes out in the sorrow of not being able to save give them a better life. He heard a voice as all he could see was white, his wound healed and an unknown voice that brings peace to the mind echoed in his mind "Prey to God, as he has returned". With his prayers dedicated to Raven, he was turned into an follower.
By the standard of God, Raven was still terribly weak, but he was getting stronger. He heard a beep from his System as it showed him a screen.

Seeing his updated profile and his achievement of attaining his first follower made his blood serge, he was reminded of the first time he gained victory in a game after playing it for what it felt like eternity. Raven continued to observe in case of any issues that might happen and his institution didn't fail him. The party of Adventurers who abandoned Arthur [The Young Boy and Raven's first Follower], waited outside of the dungeon in case Arthur had survived by disposing him as the crimes done inside of a dungeon was not recorded unless reported by someone. Raven his skill "God's Whispers" to guide Arthur to safety using his other skill "God's Eye" leading to Arthur's safe return and the party that abandoned him were punished with imprisonment because even if the Adventurer's Guide didn't care about Adventurers dieing during adventures, but betrayal was unforgivable and disrespectful according to their rules. Arthur also received the whole reward because of reporting the party as well as reporting the changes that had happened inside the dungeon which was the task assigned to them. As Arthur had returned to safety, Raven decided to focus on the Princess of Aradon, Princess Athina El Aradon.
