Chapter 2: 2. Orario

Many countries and regions exist in what is known as the nether world.

 Orario is the only city in the world that has a dungeon.  Most gods live there.  It is a place where people can train quickly and therefore has the most powerful fighting force in the world.

 Yes, gods lived among us.

 The gods descended from Heaven to the underworld approximately 1000 years ago in search of fun.  But they are forbidden to use their powers, known as Arcanum, and they have the same physical abilities as normal people.  Though not part of your Arcanum, gods emit an aura known as godhood that allows others to recognize them as such.  With the exception of the ability to bestow a blessing on mortals, other permissible abilities include the charms of the goddesses of beauty.  If any god breaks the rules, they will be forcibly sent back to Heaven.

 Nowadays almost everything revolves around the dungeon that is under a large tower with over 50 floors called Babel, in the center of the city.  Thousands of people enter this dungeon every day in search of adventures, as there are several monsters and treasures inside that can be recovered and exchanged for other goods outside.  Being an adventurer is practically a profession.

 “You can find everything in the labyrinthine city”

 My grandfather told young me, as he held a book about heroes in my hands at that time.

 “Beautiful girls, the elves you love so much, the goddesses of sadness… You can even have predestined encounters there.  If you want to go, go.”

 “If you do well, you can gain wealth and fame.”  He said.  “However, it would be irrelevant to get involved in the waves of time.  Is that so"

 Looking at the little me, he just said it nonchalantly.

 “Because of that… you might even be a hero.  If you have determination, go for it.”

 My grandfather actually said so.

 “Do not compromise your will with others, nor with elves or gods.  I won't ask for anything else.”

 I still remember his words.

 “Don't blindly follow the instructions of others.  Decide for yourself."

 I remember the look on your face.

 "This is your story."

 And the smile that broke out on the man's face was absolutely unforgettable.

 Many important words and memories of my grandfather came to my mind.

 .

 'But that naughty old man still decides to disappear without telling me anything.'

 .

 .

 .

 “Hey, boy, I see!”

 bam-bam

 Hearing the rumble of the wheels and feeling the impact, I couldn't help but shudder.  Waking up from my daydreams, I opened my eyes.

 Hearing the voice of uncle, a human trader, I jumped up and hurriedly peeked out of the carriage, which was carrying a lot of wheat.

 “…!”

From the carriage passing over a hill, I could see a huge city surrounded by huge walls, as well as a tower rising in the cloudless sky.

 At the magnificent sight in my line of sight, I broke into a smile as I watched in awe.

 "Finally..."

 Although on the way here you could always see it if you looked up at the sky, the spectacular view from the giant tower is still an exciting scene.  I don't know how to express myself in front of this scene that only became visible after leaving behind the village where I grew up.

 Labyrinth City Orario.

 It is the “center of the world” where wealth and fame can be gained.

 After losing my family and when my grandfather disappeared about a year ago, I finally decided to leave my hometown.  Now 15 years old, I came to seek my happiness in Orario.

 Wasting no time, I thanked the good-hearted merchant who had brought me here and jumped off the wagon.

 I grabbed my spear and a small amount of luggage, then started running down the street that led to the huge city.

 Finally arriving at the huge stone wall.

 I joined the long line of merchant and traveling carriages lined up outside the gate.

 "Next!"

 I walk towards the guard in front of me.

 “Do you have a license?”

 "Ah... No, I came to become an adventurer."

 “No problem, thousands of people like you come to this city to become adventurers.”

 Then the security staff member asked me to turn around and show my back.

 I complied with his request immediately, and then he placed a lantern-like brace hanging from his waist against my back.

 "What are you doing?"

 “Confirming the presence or absence of a “fault”.  This is an inspection to prevent spies from other cities or countries from entering.”

 This magical prop will react to the “Blood of God”, he said.  That way they would know whether or not someone was associated with a deity, which is not my case.

 'Now that I think about it... Bell's grandfather didn't give him a flimsy, for some reason he didn't even tell him he was Zeus... Well, I wouldn't want to be part of the family of a shameless god like him haha. '

 After inspection I walked through the gate – the horizon immediately widened.

 What I see in front of me is a beautiful view of the street that would be unimaginable outside the massive walls.

 The wide and busy street that stretches from the square in front of the gate, the carriages stopped on the neat stone bricks and the countless shops that line the sides of the street.  Bustling Main Street, against the backdrop of the majestic tower, has a splendor and bustle that the rural countryside could not see.

 Along the way, you can see many different species passing by and adventurers equipped with swords and armor.

 A beautiful elf girl with a sword is fascinating, a dwarf warrior with a big sword or a small human magician with a pointy hat carrying a wand looked really cute too.

 Growing up in a village, there were only humans and a very small number of dwarves.  Therefore, this multiethnic city excites me.

 I couldn't stand being distracted by the beauty of the city any longer, so I took action.

 When entering a city, you must first find a place to stay.  This is one of the basic principles of travel.

But not for me.

 Before reincarnating into this world, I already knew Danmachi's story from the anime and some spoilers.  Then I won't make the same stupid mistakes as a child.

 I walked around the city, asked passers-by for help, and looked for the Hephaestus Family.

 Joining a god's family is the minimum requirement to become an adventurer.

 A family is an organization formed by a god as a kind of family.

 We, the people of the nether world, can join a family through a contract with the gods and obtain their blessing.

 'Falna' obtained from a family's god would turn into a 'status'.  People who have not yet been recorded with a 'status' cannot claim to be adventurers in the labyrinthine city.

 But to join a family is not so easy as only a minority of people actually make part of a family.

 It should be obvious, after all the gods wouldn't accept everyone, much less anyone.  Therein lies the truth about the so-called racial barrier.

 The human race was inferior to other races, and it seems everyone knew that too.

 Elves are good at 'magic', dwarves would even be able to fight low level monsters without being imprinted with a 'status', and amazons are great at all types of martial arts.

 No matter where you go, humans are just ordinary, it's pretty embarrassing to be honest.

 So with a little investigation, I discovered that the big families would not be willing to have me in their group.  Surely what I should be trying is to find a family that is still developing.

 Hence my trek to Hephaestus Familia, for as far as I remember, my goddess must still be living there.

 Meanwhile, to fill my stomach, while walking, I bought a 'Jagamarukun' from an outdoor shop.  For someone like me who is trying to save money, it has a rewarding price of 30 valis, while it is made from potatoes, so it really satisfies the hunger very well.

 .

 .

 .

 "Wow! This city is too big!"

Even though I wasn't tired, unfortunately I couldn't run to my destination because there are many people on the street.

 Not wanting to arrive when it was night.

 So in a hurry to escape the busy street, I decided to turn into an alley covered in darkness.

 "Hey there. This alley is too dangerous, don't go there.”

 It was then that I heard someone say something, but at first I didn't respond to the person.

 "Eh…?"

 But stopping my steps, I turn around, and find her running towards me.

 “… It looks like you got lost, is that true?”

 The figure of that person... that voice...

 It was then that I realised.

 "Ah... I'm actually trying to find a family."

 Smiling happily, I replied to the lovely girl in front of me.

 "Serious!?"

 At my answer, her eyes started to twinkle.

 "Um... That being so... Would you like to join my family?"

 Red cheeks and acting a little hesitant I was asked as she looked away at me and the floor.

 'Cute.'

 "Claro, eu adoraria ser sua família."

 Com o rubor em seu rosto aumentando, a garota estendeu a mão.

 "... Você realmente quer? Juntar-se à minha família?

 "Sim."

 Assim que segurei a mão dela, sorrimos um para o outro.

 “Meu nome é Héstia! Qual é o seu nome!?"

 Quando ela perguntou meu nome, pude sentir o calor que emanava da deusa.

 "Bell Cranel."

 Finalmente conheci minha deusa.

 Mas parece que foi ela quem me encontrou.

 Nas ruas desta cidade labiríntica, muitos encontros foram criados e muitos heróis nasceram.

 Quando percebi que acabara de ter meu próprio encontro com uma deusa, pensei nas palavras de meu avô: "Esta é a sua história".
