Chapter 1: Orario here I come

Chapter One: Orario here I come,

"Ah~ Orario, elves, beast-eared girls, I'm finally here, hahaha."

A handsome young man, clad in light armor studded with gems and carrying a magnificent long sword at his waist, took a deep breath, completely ignoring the strange looks from the locals around him, and shouted with his arm raised.

His eyes sparkled like stars, reflecting the orderly and novel architecture around him.

The white stone streets under his feet stretched all the way to the towering chalk tower at the end. Every building and shop along the street was selling a variety of unseen goods.

Adventurers and demi-humans on the road were equipped with all kinds of strange gear, from oddly shaped long swords to hollow armor that only covered part of the body.

The demi-humans and elves, who had just been shouted at like a country bumpkin, looked at him with disdain, while the human adventurers gave him ambiguous looks that seemed to say, "Kid, you know what's up."

"Cough, cough..."

Embarrassed by the cold looks from the elf adventurers, Ethan scratched his somewhat blushing cheeks and quickly escaped from the sight of the elves and demi-humans.

It was so embarrassing, he was so excited that he couldn't help but shout out what was in his heart.

Ethan took a deep breath, patted his gorgeous carved breastplate, and looked around excitedly with his backpack on his back, like a curious deer.

Whether it was the strange shops or the passing demi-humans, they all gave him a sense of novelty.

"It's not much different from what I remember, but the sense of reality is really shocking, my heart is pounding."

Ethan moved forward along the straight road leading to the Tower of Babel, flipping through his memories.

He had crossed into this world a month ago, initially thinking he had crossed into a Western fantasy world and was about to start farming as a lord, but then he heard the singing of a bard.

At the western end of the continent, the Tower of Babel that connects to the heavens, the Labyrinth city of Orario at the center of the world, where the gods generously bestow their Falna to adventurers.

You will join the Familiaof the gods, powerful heroes adventuring in the underground labyrinth, forming friendships with demi-humans, epic romances with elves, and beautiful encounters with fairies...

There's no mistake, he's come to the world of the anime,Danmachi or "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?"

In his excitement, he couldn't wait to sell his phone, which had only one bar of battery left, for 10 million Valis, then used 9.99 million Valis to buy this gorgeous outfit from a dwarf and set off for Orario.

"The first thing to do is to join a familia, get the Falna of a gods'and unlock the potential of my body to become an adventurer."

Ethan followed the memory in his mind, walked along the West Main Street with full expectation, and cast curious eyes around while heading towards the Adventurer's Guild.

Orario, as the center of the world, is a large city. Eight avenues extend from the Tower of Babel in the center of the city to the eight gates of Orario, evenly dividing the entire city into eight parts.

The Adventurer's Guild is located on West Main Street, which is also the area where adventurers gather the most and is known as Adventurer's Street.

Almost half of the shops related to adventurers are located there.

"The Falna the gods give to their familia are all the same, so when choosing a god, you should consider their personality and the atmosphere of the familia.

After all, the gods in this world are not much different from humans, and their personalities vary."

He didn't know what period it was. In fact, Ethan plan was to join Hestia's familia, provided that the protagonist hadn't joined yet.

Rather than joining a powerful familia, he wanted to start building a familia from scratch.

After all, his cheat is quite powerful.

If the protagonist has already joined, then he'll give up. After all, he has a special feeling for the first familia he joined, Hestia. If this special feeling is not for him, then forget it.

He absolutely couldn't stand the protagonist's overly saintly personality and the main goddess's favoritism beyond ordinary familia.

Apart from that, there aren't many other choices.

The strongest Freya Familia is out of the question.

The infighting in this familia is too fierce, they even regularly kill each other to compete for the favor of their own goddess, who is a goddess who likes to change her affections.

He can't enjoy that.

Then the Hephaestus Familia he could accept the most. The familia is the richest in Orario, and the main goddess has a super good personality and no special hobbies.

If he joins the familia, he should be able to get a few second or third level equipment, even if he has to pay, it should be at material cost.

Then there's the Loki Familia. The atmosphere in this familia is the best and they are united. It's the second largest familia in Orario, and because of Loki's sexual orientation, most of the familia members are girls.

He'll consider it carefully.

As for other familias... he'll consider them if he can't join the one he wants.

As he got closer and closer to the Tower of Babel, the crowd became denser and denser, and the shops serving adventurers became more concentrated.

Strong and rude adventurers were bargaining with the boss in the weapon shop, and elegant magicians were patronizing witch huts with strange signs.

Looking further afield, he could see an endless white square, where groups of adventurers were entering the dungeon entrance under the towering tower.

The most eye-catching among the teams were the supporters with huge backpacks.

withdrewing his curious gaze from the adventurers coming and going, and looked up at a building made of white giant stones. The building was carved with beautiful reliefs, like the temple of the gods in Greek mythology.

Compared to the street outside, it was obviously much more crowded here. Adventurers were coming and going at the front door, some were standing in front of the public wall, looking at the commissions posted on it.

Those dazzling commissions were all applied for by adventurers to the Adventurer's Guild.

If they weren't looking for materials dropped by dungeon monsters, they were recruiting team members, or looking for companions who had gone missing in the dungeon.

The Adventurer's Guild, the familia of the god Uranus, the first god to descend and build the Tower of Babel to suppress the dungeon monsters.

This place and the entire city of Orario are closely related, and can be said to be the city hall managing the entire Orario.

And the gods and goddesses of each familia are more like the nobles in Orario.

"I can't tell what time it is at all..."

Ethan looked at the commission wall for a long time but couldn't find any clues to the information he wanted. He couldn't help but scratch his cheek in frustration, then walked towards the front desk of the hall.

"Um..."

Just as he was about to speak, the other party spoke first.

"Are you new to Orario and planning to register as an adventurer?"

"Eh? I haven't said anything yet, is this the experience of a guild staff member?"

Ethan looked at the other party in surprise.

This guild staff member is all too familiar.

She has brown short hair, glasses covering her natural green eyes, a dignified and sweet appearance, ears shorter than an elf's, and is dressed in a black and white uniform. She is a half-elf, the most popular new advisor among adventurers, Eina Tulle.

Even if you don't know her, you can call her name just by looking at her chest badge.

"Actually, it's not that strange. It's just that adventurers usually don't equip such ornamental light armor and swords."

The half-elf lady looked him up and down with a professional smile.

Noticing the beautiful half-elf lady's professional smile and the meaning between her words,

Ethan felt a sense of suffocation for a moment.

"Usually... ornamental light armor and... sword..."?
