Disclaimer: I don't own either the Persona series or Danmachi.

I just bored and ya need to beware of my bad grammar in here. Read at your own risk and ya has been warned.

By the time I opened my eyes, I realized that I was in sort of kind like labyrinth place. Why I know this is labyrinth? Because it got the familiar feeling with the place I ventured last time.

I don't know for how long I was sleeping here, and where am I now to be exact (why labyrinth). All I remembered was my last fight with Nyx and I'm dying. Yes, I'm dying that time, while waiting for my friends about our promise.

Maybe this was heaven? Or hell? I'm not too sure. I guess, I need to venture out a little bit.

The sky is covered by a ceiling rock material, and its look sort of you entered some cave. As I walk, I heard some kind of growl from my back. Tempered my body and mind in Tartarus before, helps me aware of my surrounding especially when something gonna attacking you soon.

As I turn my back to the growling noise. I discovered what you call monster, in fantasy setting world or game. It was a huge pig headed looking monster that was 3m tall, it wears old hide at the waist like a skirt, if I don't mistaken this is what we called with "Orc" monster. The Orc was looking at me, as he going to pummel me at any seconds now.

The Orc suddenly screaming his war roar and mad-dashing to my direction. Surprised with the sudden action of the Orc, I prepared my battle stance. I'm lucky that I learned boxing from Akihiko before, as I don't have any weapon at me, for now.

The Orc swinging his weapon to me, with the intention to slash me into two. Avoiding him with a feint, I launched my counterattack to him. The damage was, insignificant.

What a horrible strong defense he got. Seems like normal attack doesn't work on him. I keep dodging his attack while counterattacking him, looking for his weak spot.

'I guess, I need to cut his head off to finish him' Facing with my dilemma with the lack of weapon in hand. I try to recall the power that I've always relied on.

"Michael, Heaven's Blade !" To my avail, nothing happen and using that chance the Orc successfully glaze me with his weapon. Run out of idea, I use my blazer to cover the Orc's head with intent of suffocating him and stealing his weapon.

'Success!' as the Orc dropping his weapon that I quickly pick it up. The weapon shaped like a machete, not light and not too heavy as well, either way seems like I make the Orc more upset than needed. Raged, the Orc dashing towards me again with intent to crush me. Unfortunately to him, I quickly using the machete slashing and hacking him to pieces, resulting him meet his end.

"That was lucky.." Plopping myself to sit down as I run out of breath, I began to observe my surrounding in hope no more monster coming. At the Orc that I killed, the corpse turn into ash, leaving purple shaped-crystal. Learning from my experience in Tartarus, I know that this thing will be useful for me later so I keep it in my pocket.

"Seems like, with my ability to summon Persona sealed at the moment. My physical state also weakened. This is dangerous in many ways" I'm recalling the time, I tried to call my Persona. Which to my horror that I can't. With my weakened physical strength, I try to sort out all the information that I could get. Especially about my body, and the condition I was in.

"First, this is a sort of labyrinth, and I don't know where's this Labyrinth originally from, as why I'm here, the reason still unknown and I was alive. Second, it seems I can't use my Persona power here and my physical strength in weak condition." When I said in weakened condition, it mean the time my strength just barely killing the Priestess Arcana.

And once more, I confirmed my state I was in, is indeed dangerous.

But one thing that didn't change. I need to find a way to get out of here.

I stand up as I make my mind to exploring the labyrinth. Huh? My injury is gone. As I checked the place that slashed by the Orc.

"This... I see" as I smiled and go back exploring the labyrinth.

"Wait a minute. That is.. Isn't that the stair leading to the higher floor!?"

"We can't stop the Minotaur's pace. Most of them escaped to upper floors!"

I stopping myself as I heard some commotion around. It's been few hours since I decided to exploring this labyrinth, and I didn't meet anyone yet except more monsters coming to me as I'm going down to lower floor. By the way, I found two stair, one that leading to higher floors and one that leading to lower floor. Based on my experience exploring Tartarus, the lower floor might bring me to the exit of this labyrinth or maybe meeting people if this labyrinth not all occupied by monsters.

How can I last till now? This, I need to rectify my words about my persona power. I might not be able to summon them at the moment. But, I found out that I can still using their skills. Especially the passive skills, I could use all their passive skills or I possessed all their passive skills on me. As for the active skills, I could only use the attack that dealing 'light-amount-damage' or so the lower persona attack skills.

I also found out, as more I killed the monsters, the damage of my attack increasing. Such blessing! It's feel I'm back to my old self when I just set out to venturing Tartarus. In game term this could be said the feeling of leveling up. And I can clearly feel the changes which I'm not too sure about.

Back to my current situation. I make my way to the noise before, the sight that greet me was lots of monsters with horns in their head running away for their life from peoples that chasing them.

I tilted my head as I'm observing the situation.

'What a view, they must be in different level to make the monsters acting like that' This is not a new view for me, as that also happen in Tartarus sometime when I exploring the lower floor (where the weak monster or wealth hand). The sight was funny as they was running away from me. That being said monsters is a sensitive creatures, that could sense people stronger than them and finding way to preserve their own life.

Too absorbing with my own thought, I didn't know that I've been staring at them for awhile that someone from the chaser group calling me.

"... This might be sudden, but could you help us to stop the monsters for going to upper floors? We from "Loki Familia" will appreciate your help." said the beautiful tall female with emerald green hair.

'Pointy ears?! Don't tell me this is what fantasy-like-setting called elves race look' I thought as coming face-to-face with her, to tell you the truth her ears that stuck up like leaves on a tree really fitting right in with her elegance.

"... *cough* So, will you help us?" she opened her mouth to speak again, which I just aware (again) I've been staring at her. What an awkward situation.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness. It's my pleasure to help, in that case do you mind helping me to get out of this dungeon?" Shock flashes through her face for a sec, nevertheless she nodded to agree with my request.

Time for grinding then.

- Female Elf POV

My name is Reveria Riyos Ahrve, member of "Loki Familia". Currently we're in underground 17th floor going back from our expedition. On our way we met with large group of Minotaurs.

Just I think there'll be no problem to let Raul accumulating experience to command the fight. Here the trio' powers making the monsters into confused state. Generally speaking the monsters wasn't a big treat for our Familia, but we don't know what a confused state monster will do, especially when they run amok in higher floor which will cause a lot of casualties to new adventures (level 1). One thing that I know, we need to chase after them to prevent that, I'm telling others when thinking to get more cooperation from surrounding as Minotaur can't be defeated by adventure under level 2 even sometimes level 2 adventure not certainly possible to defeat Minotaur as they're one tough monsters in the dungeon.

Aiz, Bate, Lefiya, Tiona and Tione already stepped out to chase after the Minotaur. Now, what I should do to make sure our battle formation not in mess and finding some help to prevent the Minotaur in each floors.

Looking at my surrounding, that was the time I saw him, standing not far from us and observing the situation in front while holding the machete. Which later on, I'll confused myself with his request.

The person itself is boy(or man *AN: help me here to describe it lol*) with blue hair dressed with the clothes that I'm doubting that was party-for-occasion one (*note: Minato is using his uniform here*) or new armor-type clothes. Either way, if he could make his way till this floor, its mean he got strength require (Level 2 or above).

And, so I'm asking his cooperation, which unexpectedly he keep looking at me as he never meet someone like me before (*note: she assuming elves race here*)

Still no answer. Clearing my throat, I try to asking him again. If Finn and Gareth was here, I won't involved outsider in this mess, thinking is our fault to begin with. I guess he'll reject my offer as the amount of monsters that running away was no joke and it's Minotaur as well. Even level 4 adventure won't dare to be careless in this situation.

Unexpectedly, he nodded to help and apologizing for his rudeness. Things that make me shock was the request of him, to get out of the dungeon. Which I doubt that I'm making a right decision here or not for asking his help.

Anyways, it's already too late to decline, I just need to make sure he not in dangerous situation.

"Vanguard, chase after the other Minotaurs that goes up to higher floors, make sure to protect the others adventures. Rear Guard keep attacking so more Minotaurs trapped in this floor. And Raul, I'll let you in charge of this floor. I'll go up and chase the other Minotaurs as well" I quickly told Raul what to do and preparing myself to go for the chase as well.

"Um. Reveria.. That adventure.." Raul's panicked voice make me to look to the direction of the boy before that was now surrounded by more than 5 Minotaurs.

Anxious, me and Raul quickly go to his side to help. By the time we arrived at his side, the fight was done. And he already go away to another Minotaurs (prey? (；￣Д￣) )

"... Seriously?! Who is he?" Raul asked the question particularly to no one as we looking at the blue haired boy fighting that ended in the flash. (doing his cleaning job (￣▽￣) ).

- The End-

AN: I just bored and thinking it might be nice to try put Minato in fantasy-like setting story here. Minato might be like OC in the story, but back to the game again, Minato's playable character that we play as we like, so here is my Minato with a lot of freedom and charming character that suit at everything and reason why I don't use OC character and choose him *evil grin* └(￣-￣└)). Let's put out what Minato (player) will think when they're in his position that not limited by bubble text (choice for the conversation *lmao*)

Btw, Minato in here, while his thought was out of open (for use to know) he still keep his expressionless facade in front. He's one of the heluva calm person.

Read at your own risk~ (ノ*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

Chapter 1 - Is it wrong to not knowing how to get out from dungeon?

Yup, all goes well as expected. The Gale Slash skill execution is no joke, I'm gonna get some body ache soon. Luckily I met with some peoples here, that will help me to get out of this dungeon.

You asking me how I can suddenly executing my Persona skill? Well, I can't explain it either, but like I told you before, as I fight more, I'm improving like character in game that level up. And the skills just automatically cross my mind, which I just try it. Simple and nonsense, right? Whatever, as long as I can survive and know where am I.

Looking at my surrounding, I can't see anymore Minotaurs from before which means mission complete ! Congratulations, you've been level up ! Lol I'm kidding. I'm not in game world like S*O.

Anyway, I'm hungry. I hope this people have some food to spare for me, as they're walking over to my way.

"Thanks, for your help again. My name is Reveria Riyos Ahrve. May I know your name?"

".. Minato Arisato" we introduce ourselves as we're going to upper floor, making sure no more Minotaurs roaming around.

"By the way, we're soon to reach an exit of this dungeon." Reveria said, not forgetting the favor I asked.

"Huh? That's why we keep going up. So the exit is in higher floor not the lower one?!" I said realizing its been stupid of me to go down to find the exit before.

"..." (everyone silence/shocked/dumbfounded)

"Don't tell me, you not aware of this?" ask the spiky haired guy named Raul, which I nodded.

"..."

"... Are you being serious?!" (Raul) I nodded again which make everyone speechless now. Unknown to me, Reveria was shaking her head.

And I told them the story by the time I was awake, that I was in the dungeon already. By the way, Raul retorted that I got no common sense as how I can be that reckless to venture to lower floor without preparation etc, knowing this is dungeon. Man, its no risk no gain, I'd love to tell him that. But I could sense this conversation won't end well, if I told him that.

"Then, which "Familia" are you from?" Raul asked again. He's quite a chatter dude, I don't dislike him though.

"Familia?"

"Yes, which "Familia"?" Without me knowing, everyone stop their chattering now and waiting for my answer.

"What is "Familia"?" I tilted my head as this "Familia" thing has been bothering me now.

"..."

"Hey, Minato. Tell me the truth, that you've been living the rock till now, right?" First name basis and rude, I twitched my brow a bit after listening that statement. Can't be helped if he mistake me like that, as I don't know what it is.

"A long time ago, gods and goddesses came down to our world and live alongside with us now. Basically speaking, a "Familia" is a group formed by a god, some people do think being in "Familia" is like being part of that god's family. Benefit of joining one "Familia" is receiving their blessing. One with blessing can get stronger, One with blessing can get famous, One with blessing can get rich and many reason to receive their blessing. That's what being in "Familia" in process you provide your gods or goddesses live with the blessing you get." Reveria told me the simply meaning of "Familia".

"I see."

"So, where have you living till now?" Raul asked again. This guy, I don't even know that was a sarcasm or curiosity anymore, I just staring at him without saying a words.

"W-Well, you don't need to tell me if you don't want to, ha ha.. By the way, the way you killed that monsters was really fast and precise. You must be adventure/warrior right?"

"I'm not. Just the normal citizen that you can always find everywhere. Huh? Why you have a face that stated I'm lying?" I said as all of them looking at me with disbelieving face. I'm telling the truth you know.

"Reveria! Raul ! Everyone!" Looking in front of us, stood some guys that I assume was in same Familia with Reveria and Raul. More exactly the advance party that go to chase the Minotaurs in upper floors. It's turned out to be noisy now, I wish I could quickly get out of this place and sleep.

"So, who is this person?"

"He's Arisato Minato, the person who helped us" and here come again the introduction of new peoples. Two Amazonian sister, Tiona and Tione Hyrute. Wolf-like person Bete Loga. The blonde-haired girl Aiz Wallenstein and the elf girl that accompany her Lefiya Viridis.

"And why this brat following us, then? Help? What this weakling could help, hah?" said Bete pointing his hand toward me. Brat, huh? I smiled wryly hearing that. Raul has been sweating all over now, looking at Bete, me and Reveria back and forth. Well, it's seems like I can't stick much longer now, right?. Got all information I needed, guess I need to look more for my own later. Time to part.

"He's.. "

"Reveria, Raul and everyone. Thanks for your help. I'll go on my own now" I give small smile while cutting Raul's words.

"W-Wait Minato, are you sure? Where do you gonna live later then? At least-.."

"I should get by with this, I might see you around" I said pointing my fully packed pocket with magic stones inside (*Note: game habit, grinding=farming Ima rich :D*), nodded my head to Reveria as saying my thanks, I swipe my eyes to their group again. Disdain, confuse, happy, envy and other emoticons could be seen from that.

I activated Sukukaja as I'm going ahead.

"Wait, at least you can part away with us after reaching the surface, right? You don't even know the precise way to the stairs, don't you?" Silence... This stupid Raul, you don't even need to said that, right? What this guy take me for? Read the situation, please.

"I'm in the rush, so I'll going first. I doubt this will be hard than that damned Tartarus" I tell them, with the last part in whisper, as I walked away from them.

"He's a stubborn one isn't it, Raul?" Reveria said while smiling.

"He could at least let me finish my words, though" Raul dejectedly said.

"And Bete, he's the one who helped us chase after the Minotaurs by the way. Annihilate more than 5 of them in the flash, do you still think he's some weakling? And he's some normal citizen as well" Reveria said dropping the bomb that surprising the advance party (the one that didn't watch Minato's fight)

"I'm hungry.." By the time I was out from the dungeon, nightfall is almost coming. The first thing I could do is to exchange the magic stones I got to their money currency - varisu. All thing that should be done is finding some inn and tavern to eat and rest. Is what I thinking right now, but looking at the population of this town, it sure big and a lot of kind of peoples is around, that reminding me again, I'm not in Japan anymore.

Looking around the shop around me, I'm starting my quest to finding nice restaurant to eat. Can't think more with empty stomach do I? I got no complain to sleep in the sleep, but not for empty stomach.

"Hello nya, would you like to have a nice dinner in our place, nya? The food is really tasty, nya" Call the catgirl dressed in uniform as she blinked her eyes, looking at me who didn't respond and keep staring at her. Out of curiosity and I'll regret my action later, as I just go and touching her cat ears, which I deemed as cute.

"What a soft-texture feeling, and here I was thinking it might be fake one." I make my conclusion as still keep my hand on her ears. If looking for others perceptive, people will interpret that I was harassing her right now.

"Nya-nya.. Stop it, that feel ticklish nya-nya." said the catgirl while her face flushing red now. She's cute, this what they called cat person in the flesh, huh? I smiled as remembering what Junpei talking long time ago. Chill creeping to me, which surprise me a bit.

Huh?! Killing intent?! I quickly pull the catgirl closer as shielding her (*AN: W.O.W. Pimpnato reporting for duty (/▽＼*)｡o○ *) looking around where the intent come from. A single tap on my shoulder come behind me, which make me turn to the instigator.

"I'm awfully sorry sir, but could you please let go the girl you're holding right now" the elf girl said with her threatening cold voice. Hmm? I just realize that I had been holding *harrasing* the catgirl for awhile now. Not good, I quickly let her go and apologizing to her.

"I'm sorry, this is my first time meeting cat-like person, so ..."

"Lyu nya, he's bullying me nya, beat him nya" the catgirl quickly go and hide behind the elf girl not forget to tattering on me. Looking over at the elf girl, she won't the one who will let me go just with apologize, looks like it.

'What a lucky day this is..' I sighed. Well, how can I solve this problem now. Maybe because the damn entity that got me here in the first place, hear my prayer, someone come to help me sort it out.

"Why ya girls stop working and standing here for? We still got a lot of thing to do" said the stout woman that suddenly coming outside from the building calling at the girl, which later I'll know she's dwarf and Mia/Mama Mia is her name.

"And who are ya, boy? Gonna have a bite here?"

"Mama Mia, he's.."

"With pleasure, table for one if you don't mind, please."

"Ho.. Aren't yer a polite one here?" I smiled listening to her statement. I don't dislike to the point person after all.

Looking at Mama Mia didn't said anything else to me, the catgirl seems sulking and just go back to what she's doing before. Same could be said to the elf named Lyu, she back to her work not forgetting to give me a cold stare when I'm going in to the restaurant/bar.

"The Benevolent Mistress, huh?" I was wondering if they're benevolent as the bar's name. (*AN: with the girls could beat you to a pulp? Don't think so lol*)

"Ya said something boy?"

"Nothin' Mam"

"Ha-ha-ha, I like ya guts boy, tell me yer name will ya?"

"Minato Arisato. Just call me Minato"

"Then, I'm Mia or ya can call me 'Mama Mia' like everyone else, 'ere. First time in town boy?" I nodded as answering her question.

"Then ya should enjoy our food 'ere. Yer could said, we're one of the best bar around this city. Eat a lot, okay?" she said patting my shoulder hard.

"I'll, if you'd kindly recommended your signature dish to me, it might be nice"

"Ha-ha.. Hey, Lyu. Could yer please give this Minato over 'ere a hand. He's going all out tonight!" Mama Mia calling the elf girl from before, her name is Lyu, huh. It suits here perfectly.

"Yer should talk to her properly, 'kay Minato" Mama Mia said, winked to me as she intentionally pair me up with Lyu. Again, I don't dislike her meddlesome part of personality.

".. What can I help you, sir" Lyu asked with her cold voice like before. It's her personality, huh?

"I'd love to if you could help me pick up some foods. Do you have any recommended dish?"

"All the foods here is good" What a bland answer.

"Then, Miss Lyu. Which food do you gonna to eat if you're to choose then? I'll go with that" I asked her again, with smile plastered to my face. (*AN: lol*) Lyu's thin eyebrows curved downward as her eyes staring at me. She seems to hate me a lot, huh? I better not bothering her again then.

"This, this, this... and this. I'd eat that" she said curtly as pointing a lot of dishes.

"I'll go with that then. And I'd like some fruit juice as well, as the drink" surprise expression could be see from her face for few sec there. Ha-ha she didn't think I'm going to follow her choice to the end, huh? Well, I'm hungry. I just hope I got enough money to pay.

Gulp..gulp..gulp..

I gulping down my drink, as I finished all my foods. Man, that was awesome. Eating always something that could make me happy, especially if the meal taste nice as well. I'm satisfied you know.

"Ha-ha. Minato, when I said yer gonna going all-out. I never think ya gonna be that all-out. How many days yer didn't eaten?" Mama Mia said that when coming over to my table.

"I'm not sure. But I'll order more, if my money was enough." I said still feeling my stomach not full yet.

"Hey, are ya serious boy?" Mama Mia twitched her eyebrows looking at me like I'm telling a joke.

"Yup. Anyway Mama Mia, I just coming to this town today, so I'm not sure about the currency. Do you mind have a look, if I got enough to pay my food or not?" I said making Mama Mia sweat.

"Boy, are yer living under the rocks before? That ya didn't understand this simple things" Although she said that, Mama Mia still helped me to count the money and giving me explanation.

"Ha-ha. I owe you one, Mama Mia."

"Yer bet!" She said laughing together with me.

"So, where ya going to live now? Have ya found a place yet?" We talking in the bar counter as Mama Mia need to do her job as well, so we move over to there. And what I'm doing now? Another serve of pasta, obviously :D

"Not yet, I'm going to look for an inn after I'm finishing my meal." I said enjoying my pasta. Well, it doesn't matter if I found it or not, like I said before I could even sleep in the street.

"Yer face told me that 'it's not a big deal' whether you found the inn or not, boy"

"How did you know?" I'm shocked, not a lot of people know what I'm thinking and I doubt they could read my face expression.

"From yer laid back behavior." Mama Mia laughed.

"I see.."

"How 'bout yer stay 'ere boy. 'Till ya got things yer want to do and place. Ya can work for me now and then and having meals 'ere as well. Oh, I'll paid yer up as well, nice pay by the way" Mama Mia said with laugh. That was one of the good deal in this situation. And I really grateful of her offer, so I accept it.

"Please take care of me from now on, Mama Mia"
