Hello! A new story! Expect some dark themes. And I decided to change up the story structure. Adventures can harm gods if they wanted to. Think about it, if they sealed virtually all their powers and became "Psudo" mortal then why can't they be harmed, and mugged? Sure it's the absolute crime the city has but common! Especially to the low tier gods. So that's the way it is, Will be M but not as of this moment. Oh and BellXsmall Harem.

Also my other Danmachi Fic is on a short Hiatus. ENJOY!!

The city of Orario known as the center of the world due too the vast cultural and racial diversity in this city, what makes it famous however is the dungeon. A place unique only to Orario, where gods preside and adventures try to leave their mark in legends and history, and it is here that the greatest legend of them all starts.

A young white Haird boy was just thrown out of a building for what seemed like the two dozenth time, with a dejected sigh he got up and dusted himself off, "looks like another night of sleeping outside." He said.

This boy was Bell Cranel, adoptive grandson of Zeus and by a strict technicality the last member of the Zeus Familia. The boy had arrived three days ago to live out his dream of being an Adventurer, to be the hero like his hero's in the fairytales and to save cute girls, but that seems like a distant dream now. The boy had spent nearly every moment of his time here looking for a Familia to join, he at first went to the large Familia' such as Loki, Anubis, Jupiter, Hell! He even went to the Apollo Familia but all rejected him. After the first day of scouting and rejection of the large Familia'

he went to the mid level familia' with the exact same result, Even the Hestia Familia which was known to accept anyone rejected him! granted they didn't kick him out and said gain some experience before he asked, but how the Hell was he to level up if he can't get a Blessing from a god or goddess which requires them to be a member.

'Even they had to start from square one.' Bell thought sadly as he curled up in his blanket as the sun was already gone. The sounds of life were replaced with the sounds of drunkerds and debauchery. It scared the poor boy a bit as a few sounds of fighting resonated threw the area. But he knew if he just kept low he'd be fine as he drifted off to sleep.

Bell was jerked awake by a scream, he quickly opened his eyes in start, it was still night but what time it was that was beyond his knowledge. Another scream just too his left. 'sounded like it came from around the corner.' Bell thought, he wouldn't lie he was tempted to ignor it but he couldn't do that, he got up, the dagger which was gifted to him by his village ready to use if need be. As soon as he turned he saw three men holding down a woman, one holding her arms, the other her legs while the last one was just done ripping her clothes off revealing the woman's breasts and was going for the lower region of cloth, the man holding her arms letting one go to violently grope her, a sickening smile as he touched her, but in letting her right arm go the woman managed to get a good hit on her violator, hitting him hard in the chin. But that only angered the three, the man she hit returned the blow, diving his fist right down on her face twice, resulting in a bloody and busted lip and a very bruised right eye, the other man ripping her cloths off drove his fist stright down into her stomach, resulting in her vomiting her meal she had earlier. bell saw all this as soon as he turned the corner. Rage, pure rage at what he saw, for what seemed like an eternity he was drawn back to a memory he had with his grandfather.

"Bell, as a man it is your duty to protect a woman, no matter the circumstances, from monsters or others if a woman is in danger you must do everything in your power to keep her safe." Those were the words that he had told the boy when he was young. And right in front of him was such a thing. Without thinking he charged forward his dagger in his hand with a speed he had no idea he had reached the one holding the woman's legs and drove the dagger right into his neck, pulling it out quickly he went for the middle one, the two saw this and in shock pushed themselves back forgetting the woman as they had lost one of their members to an unknown. The middle man managed to push himself out of the way of the knife that was aimed for his throat, but it wasn't fast enough as the knife struck the left side of his neck, a spew of blood gushed out as the man put his hand on the cut artery in a futile attempt.

The last one tried to go for his weapon he had tossed to the far side when they had cornered the woman, the man tried to go for it, but the fear and his drunkenness happened his attempt to defend himself, which was all the time Bell needed as he just dove stright for the man, landing and straddling his back Bell proceeded to drive his dagger string into the mans body. Anger had over taken the boy, as if he was the victim himself he violently drove into the man, the screams which quickly turned into gurgles which turned into stillness signaled the man was dead.

Bell, finally coming back to his senses got off the man, his face and cloths red with blood and gasping for air after saving the woman. He could have sworn he heard his Grandfather speaking to him saying "well done." He got up off the man and turned to the woman who was backed up against the wall, though she knew the boy had saved her she felt the rage he admitted and it scared her. Seeing this as well as her state of dress Bell quicky ran back to where he was sleeping and grabbed the blanket he was using. When he came back a dozen seconds later he saw that the woman was still there, to traumatized to move, he came to her and wrapped the blanket around her so she could cover her breasts, next Bell ripped off a pice of his right sleeve and proceeded to gently wipe the blood off her face, though the bruises on her face, wrists and legs was something he couldn't help. Neither said anything while Bell was taking care of her, the Woman herself, was but a moment ago scared by this boy, but now.. now she felt compassion, gentleness, and a love of life radiating off him, it was soothing to her as she could finally relax. After about two minutes of Bell doing the best he could to patch her up asked if she could walk to which the woman responded that she could and he helped her up.

Bell knew he should get her to a doctor, but he didn't know where one was, plus it was most likely late and hospital' closed. He saw a dim light in the window of the second building he knew of, the light came from the guild, escorting the injured woman down the dead streets of Orario to the place he hoped could help this woman. As they were walking the woman simply asked "why?"

Bell knew what she meant, and simply responded.

"No one should ever do that to a woman, and I'd be as sick as them if I didn't do anything to save you, My grandfather always thought me that a man should always protect a woman from anything." His last sentence caused the woman to give a small smile and giggle as she responded "then you were raised right." The two reached the Guild and entered. Though they could enter the building everything inside was closed and secured like a bank. Seeing this Bell shouted out "Hello!?" Hoping that whoever was there would come. And after a few moments they heard a door open, and a woman in the guild uniform came out behind the locked bars, as she was about to speak why they were there she saw the state of the boy and the woman, a loud gasp of horror filled the empty building, Bell asking her to help them of which she told them to come to the side of the bars to let them in.

As things were finally able to settle down Bell was given a fresh pair of clothes as well as being told where he could use the guild showers and where he could clean his clothes as the two Women took care of the injuries. The Woman Bell rescued told the entire account of what had happened and how Bell had saved her. The Guild woman would have to report all this as well as secure the area of the incident but that would come later, the Guild carried a large emergency stock of potions and food, with a large Healing potion that would heal her physical injuries though the emotional part would take time. The Woman who was injured after she used the potion thanked the Guild woman for her help, and simply left, but against heavy dissatisfaction and objection. Bell sat in the darkened shower the water splashing against him, but He didn't respond to that fact, no, he was shook to his core, when things finally settled down and he realized that he had killed three people the shock and terror of such an event came rushing. He looked at his wet hands as they shook uncontrollably, his breath short and gasping, though his mind was for a better word blank when he killed those three, the memories of the last man he killed.. well that killing came back to him very vividly, the water droplets only caused the memory to be even more vivid, Bell, once he remembered what he had done along with the water caused the poor soul too dry heave as he didn't eat anything that day. His body shook his mind racing,

'murderer! murderer!!' Those words were screaming in his head, Bell grasping his head in his hands on the verge of screaming himself. 'Is this the life of an Adventurer?!?? Is this what it truly is!!' when a bright purple light emerged out of no where the voice of his grandfather clear as day.

"Bell! Don't fall into that way of thinking! You saved a beautiful woman's life! You protected her! You're a Hero!"

"I don't feel like a hero!" Bell quietly shouted to the spirit of his grandfather.

"You won't always feel good about your actions Bell, sometimes the right thing to do feels like the worst thing you can do, but someone is alive because of you! Don't ever fall into despair because you did the right thing, even if it feels terrible! Do what's right Bell, because you know it's right because your heart knows it's right." The voice of his grandfather said as the light gently vanished leaving him alone once again. Bell finally finished cleaning himself up and after changing into his new clothes he walked into the the main area of the guild where the guild member was waiting, Bell greeted with a soft "Hello" to get her attention.

"Ahh, Yes.. so let's get down to business. What Familia are you with?"

"I'm not in a Familia, I just arrived a few days ago and haven't been accepted yet." Bell simply said, exhausted by the past hour.

"I see, well regardless, I'll have to put your name down in the incident report." She told him seeing his solum expression she explained to him. "Don't worry, it's not going to be as bad as you might think, your a hero, and no legal action will be taken against you."

This bit of information did give the boy some relief, and it was enough to cause his stomach to growl.

"Hungry?" She asked. "Yes." Bell simply said looking away a bit bashful. As the woman left to go get him some food, Bell was left to ponder his next actions. He still needed to find a Familia but seeing as even the mid level Familia' wouldn't accept him dashed his hopes, there were still a handful of them left he wanted to scout but if they rejected him then he decided to scout the low level Familia'. As Bell was contemplating this the Woman came back with some food to which Bell greatly accepted.

"So I'll need your name please." The woman asked as she returned to the report. "Bell Cranel." He simply said as the woman wrote his name down. "OK Bell, I need you to explain the whole incident to me, leave nothing out."

"I was actually asleep at the time, my third day of looking for a Familia ended with no luck, so I found an alleyway to sleep in, it was the woman's screams that jolted me awake, it all happend right around the corner of the alleyway, when I had turned the corner I saw that the three men had pinned her down, already torn her top half of her clothing off, one of them grabbing her chest, but that allowed her to hit the man in the jaw, but he and the one tearing her clothes off both took a couple punches at her, that's when I attacked... It's all a blur, I don't remember killing two of the attackers... b-but..the last one... I remember that one.." Bell said as fresh tears began to fall with no resistance. The woman putting a hand on his shoulder gave him reassuring words of comfort. But it would take time for Bell to recover from killing a person.

The woman introduced herself as Eina Tulle and offered that Bell could stay in one of the consultation rooms to stay the night, to which Bell agreed too though Bell wouldn't get much sleep.

"Thank you for letting me stay here, as well as your help in all this." Bell said as he bowed his head and left. It was just before dawn, and life was still rather empty though he could smell the cooking of a few bakery's. Bell decided to check on a few more Mid level Familia' to try his luck. "Let's see, I guess I'll try the Athena Familia." Soon Bell was infront of the manor, the two Guards at the gate asked his business to which he asked to join the Familia. One guard said to follow him to which Bell agreed. He saw that the manor itself was a simple two story building, mostly made of stone but a few marble pillars decorated as support beams. The inside was rather plane as well but the grand blue carpet with marble pillars did add a sense of beauty. He saw adventures come and go around the manor. A few cast a brief glance but paid him no mind as soon as they saw him. 'The same as before.' Bell thought hoping he could find a welcoming Familia to give him a chance. As the guard escorted him to an office room which Bell recognized as he's been in these kinds of rooms before the guard told him to wait while he got the Capitan of the Familia. Bell waited for ten minutes before a tall man came in. The captain no doubt.

"Hello, I'm Diosis, so you want to join our Familia? What qualifications do you have that would meet our Familia' expectations?" Diosis asked, Bell remembered last night, but he didn't want to say that he killed three people as a qualification. So he just went with what he used before.

"Hello, my name is Bell, I just arrived four days ago, looking for a Familia to give me a chance, I don't have any combat experience, but we all had to start somewhere." Bell said with a wry Smile as he tried to do a sensible joke. Diosis just hummed at that as he wrote something down. "Well... I agree that we all started from zero or so, Tell you what, let's head down to the field you and me, we'll fight and if I'm impressed enough I'll consider accepting you into the Athena Familia." He said as he got up seeing the hopeful look in Bell' eyes.

Three minutes later they were in the field with a small audience. When they both were facing off, Diosis charged without warning charged stright at Bell, his spear and shield ready for the strike, Bell was caught off guard by this as Diosis hit him right in the chest with his Shield knocking the wind out of Bell. As he was laying on the ground coughing he saw that Diosis was readying another strike Bell with all his might rolled out of the way of the strike managing to get to his feet he drew out his dagger and went to counter attack but Diosis was a lvl 5 and with a hoplon shield and he just simply knocked it out of Bell' hand which also resulted in bruising his right wrist. Ignoring the pain he switched to his left hand and once again charged at Diosis who once again was going to use his shield to swat him away once again, but Bell was hoping for this and just as Diosis was swinging, Bell slid right under the shield and took a strike at the mans Heel, drawing blood. The onlookers were shocked at this. A few though cheered for the Boy. Diosis having to kneel just smiled and put his guard down signaling that the test was over. Clapping as soon as he finished a Healing potion, as he offers Bell one as well for his injuries. "let's head inside now Bell."

The two were back inside the room as Diosis was talking with Bell. "I'm impressed. However we don't have room for a new member." Diosis said much to Bell' displeasure, here he was under the strong impression that there would be an opening and that he had passed.

"I understand the frustration Bell, however the Familia is full, we have no room and our size is actually impacting our finances, I'm sorry that I gave you a false impression. However, if you would like to wait a few days there might be an opening created. Or at the very least I could put you down as a priority person to scout." Diosis said trying to help.

'So in other words wait and hope someone dies.' Bell thought

"Thanks Diosis, but I believe I'll try my luck with another Familia." He said a bit dejected.

"I understand, but the offer still stands if you ever change your mind." Diosis said as he got up to walk Bell out. "Here take this. And If you ever want a training partner you know where to find me!" Diosis said as he handed Bell some money with a smile to which Bell returned. As Bell was at a restaurant to get some food he stoped to think about the day, which included saving that woman, Bell still felt sick when ever he thought about it but he did know in his heart he did the right thing. The news of the incident was now spreading around the city, as Bell heard the rumors and the opinions of people currently at the restaurant. As Bell finished his meal and paid, he walked out wondering which Familia to try next. "Well, at least it wasn't a total wast with the Athena Familia, maybe My luck will change." He said to himself. His mind began to wonder so much that he didn't see that he was about to walk right into someone. He was brought out of his thoughts when he walked right into said person. "Excuse me! I'm sorry for tha-" Bell said bowing but once he looked up he saw that the person he walked right into was the same woman he saved.

Bell was shocked by this. The woman herself had a look of genuine surprise as well as she tilted her head to the side resting it on her right hand. "Ara You're the boy that saved me." She said with a smile. As Bell took in her appearance he noticed that she barely had any signs of the attack last night... physical anyway, her eye was a light blue and she still had a cut on her lip, but it wasn't nearly as bad as before.

"A-are you doing ok?" Bell asked, in all honesty he really didn't know what to say to this woman and he felt stupid for asking that. "I'm sorry that was the wrong thing to say." Bell said bowing. "No, it's ok, I'm the one who should be sorry, I knew better then to be out that late, but let's say I was desperate, I'm sorry that you had to save me." The woman said bowing herself.

"N-NO!" Bell shouted shocked by what she had said. "You shouldn't apologize to me! That wasn't your fault! I just glad that your safe now and that nothing horrible happened to you." Bell said bowing once again.

"Well I should apologize to you for leaving the guild before. I didn't even thank you for what you did, that was rude."

"It's alright, you don't have to apologize for that."

"But regardless I'd like to know the name of my savior." She asked.

"It's Bell, Bell Cranel." He told her.

"That's a very cute name, I supose I should introduce myself as well.. my name is."
