Prologue
I still remember, the day when the sun shone brightly as gold, I could feel its warmth under a giant tree. The light coming through between the gaps of a tree making the parts under the shadows as bright dots. Sitting on her lap I listened to the heroic stories she told with a smile on her bright face, like a burning white flame with complete pureness.
"So….do you like this story?" she asked me in a kind tone.
I turned around wearing a big smile "Yes…..I loved it mom.."
A man enters the scene, wielding a silver sword and silver plated armor, he smiled at us, "Come on, father Zeus is waiting for us."
"Okay dad, let's go mom."
I held one of my hand with my mom and the other with my dad as we walked to the direction of the familia house-hold.
I Bell Cranel, at the age of three was having a normal childhood like others. Despite being recognized as the son of the Heroes, I am also considered as the same level as the other citizens. I had my mother's eyes and my father's hair, this made me look like a baby rabbit having fun with his family. I mostly hang out with dad as he teaches me about the dungeon and the monsters created by it, he also teaches me to use the sword and studying your enemy. Not only from dad but mom also, she teaches me to use two daggers and give me lectures about magic and skills.
I was the happiest of all to get parents who were the hero of the citizens, but soon it turned to sadness. It all happened on the same day, when we reached to the familia house-hold, the vice-captain of the familia wanted to discuss the joint expedition to floor 59 with Hera familia. I was playing with my mom and grandpa Zeus, it was going good but suddenly the guild set up an emergency alarm.
"ATTENTION….THE DUNGEON IS SHOWING A DANGEROUS IRREGULARITY ON FLOOR 27, ALL THE FAMILIAS EXCEPT ZEUS AND HERA FAMILIA ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER THE DUNGEON. I REPEAT, ALL THE FAMILIAS EXCEPT ZEUS AND HERA ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER THE DUNGEON."
This alarm caused the whole Zeus and Hera familia to rush to the dungeon, my mother quickly changed to her adventuring gear and left me with grandpa. "Father please take care of him," she said while she was wearing her boots and checking her equipment. "Don't worry about him Crista, please be safe out their," grandpa said with a worried expression. She nodded and left but something didn't feel right. I started to get even more worried for my parents, but alas I could only wait for their return.
It's been an hour and they still didn't come back. I got even more worried and asked my grandpa, "I want to go to the dungeon," me still with a worried expression pleading to get into the dungeon but he denied, he promised my mom that he won't put me in danger as even if I had a falna I was only level one. I began to be restless, I couldn't hold myself to search for my parents so I ran towards the dungeon and grandpa had to chase after me to stop me. I was bursting through the middle floors, the dungeon didn't react at all, no monster spawned neither an irregular happening nor dust of monster and it was only red all the way up to floor 27.
After reaching the floor 27 which is now become a complete mess of a floor, I hid behind a rock and peeked but I shouldn't have peeked in the first place, I saw the bodies of the fallen members of both of the familias with some of the injured and some of them dead. My eyes widened after seeing that I wished I didn't saw, I stepped near them and the others who were watching me were keeping their head down with disappointment. Tears continuously flooded through my eyes after seeing my dead dad and mom near-death situation, "Bell…." she looked at me with an injured face and continued "you are not supposed to come here…"
I still cried and hugged my mom begging her to not to leave me but what happens can't be stopped. She just smiled and me and said, "Bell…..don't cry….you're a man…"
"B-But mom…..I don't want you to leave me…"
"Bell, one way or another….parents must let their children to live their lives on their own. This just happened quickly and….*cough*cough*"
"Please don't talk."
I still cried on her arms, grandpa finally reached the floor and was shocked to see the members injured and dead, he came closer to my mom and rested her in his arms and I backed off. My mother, still pulling herself together asked Zeus to promise her that he would train me and make me the strongest hero, she also asked him to give me a good environment to train and understand the nature. After grandpa promised her, she looked at me with a smile, "Bell….promise me…..you won't cry and you will get stronger than us."
"I….promise...mom..."
She peacefully closed her eyes and rested, now it's up to me to avenge their deaths. After we left the dungeon, it was found out that the Black dragon again tried to get back to surface. After this incident, both grandpa Zeus and godmother Hera decided to disband their familias. Grandpa took me away from Orario to the mountain area to understand more about the world and train myself with the monster which is spawned their, godmother was nowhere to be found so I assumed that she left and got back to heavens to be with the rest of her fallen children.
Now, it's been almost fifteen years after that incident. Every day I trained my ass off and kept on pushing past my limits. One day grandpa was surprised to see that I earned a rare skill called Liaris Freese which makes me grow even stronger if I have my brain fixed for something I desire the most, he hid it from me and sealed the skill for now. I am 18 years old now, grandpa finally decided to send me back to Orario and train in the dungeons, and also he gave me the knowledge of making a harem but I didn't mind it a lot. I waved off to him and left back to Orario.
Finally, now my adventure of being someone's true hero is about to begin.
The armor wore by Bell's parents were the legendary armor. Reference from Danmachi Memoria Freese.
