Chapter 1

A dark night covered Orario.

It wasn't really that different from any other nights but something was off....air seemed a bit more dense than usual.

Feeling such an uneasiness in his heart a figure of white haired boy flashed through streets like a rabbit running away from wolf.

Hungry,poor and completely drawn out he was passing street after street.

In this city called Orario the deities called 'Gods' had come to a mortal realm in order to live in peace with there children.

It was famous for being a city of Gods, Adventurers and risky situations. The dream land if you call it.

Bell Cranel,our young protagonist was completely exhausted.

Slowly sitting in the bar and drinking milk,which he barely managed to buy,he sighed while his ruby eyes shined on dim light of the bar where he was in.

"Is that really what I wished for?"

He said sighing twice already.

He came all the way here,to city of dreams named Orario to become a part of a strong Familia and become an Adventurer....but now look at him. Penniless,beaten and dirty as skunk he barely could allow himself a glass of milk.

Every Familia where he went to rejected him without a single a word.

Things like;"You look to fragile!","Scram! Poor person is a bad luck." Were already usual to him.

It was a deep and dark night so there weren't really too many customers....only two, including Bell.

Already sighing for a third time he was finishing his, probably,last glass of milk.

Next to him set another customer...it was a crimson headed woman with closed eyes and reddish face from all alcohol she managed to drink already.

Bell sweat dropped seeing her...he was sure that she drank at least 4 barrels of alcohol already. Her red head matched her pinkish cheeks which were formed from alcohol.

"Helloooooooo~~!" She said cheerfully....and drank.

Not understanding to whom this question was,Bell,looked around to find no one.

Feeling that it was towards him Bell shyly raised his hand as saying something similar to "H-Hi." Or "Hello..." either way it sounded as if little shy kid just met a new stranger.

The woman looked at him for a decent while.

"Does this milk really tastes that good?"

"Huh? Y-Yeh... actually no."

Bell just came to Orario and wasn't sure what were the rules here. He came here as his Grandfather told him to do and he aimed to become a hero...tho he was shy to say it out loud.

"Hmmm,than why are you drinking it than?"

"I....just wanted to buy something a bit nutritious and something that won't hit my pocket money too much."

"Eh~? Are you applying that you are poor?"

Bell looked down shyly as gave her a small nod.

"Pffft—Hahah than why didn't you told me right away! Hey! Bring this boy a grilled chicken!"

Slapping his back intensively the woman placed her hands on his shoulders.

The guy stiffened...he was nervous...it was a while since woman had touched him...well frankly speaking it was a while since he had ever touched a woman...than again did he ever do that?

"N-No need to,Miss,I am afraid I can't afford something of such a hugh value."

"Don't be so tough. Ya know the sayin' 'When someone give you should accept and when someone hit you should run' or somethin' like that....I don't remember it too well but anyway you got the point,right?"

Bell wasn't sure weather it was a good will or her being kind type of drunkards.

Either way feeling that there was no way of refusing he accepted it calmly....of course he would repay her...somehow.

The Waiter finally brought a fine piece of grilled chicken. It's smell filled the room while a stray of saliva was flowing from his mouth.

"I-Is that really okay,Miss?"

With a bit worried expression and wiping off his saliva Bell held himself from devouring it right away.

After all it was already a week that he couldn't afford himself a decent meal....he was just aimlessly walking around trying to find a little scrap of money he could...but well,everyone refused to take him in.

"As I said,eat up to your hearts content and stop askin' me...or do you want me to eat it mysel—"

*GROOOOOOOOWL*

"—"

Woman sweat dropped...it was probably the loudest growl she had ever heard in her entire life.

Bell hid his face from embarrassment wanting to just fall underground and be missing for an eternity.

"U-Uhm...I think you better eat first...."

Bell nodded shyly.

Slowly placing his hands on chicken he took himself a leg part and started to eat it.

Calmly he was carefully munching

It along with a salad near him.

His cheeks puffed up and woman nearly blushed seeing the scenery of white little rabbit munching his salad.

Nom.nom.munch.munch.

'Awww...' she thought to herself having an urge to save this moment.

Truth be told the Guy near her really did resembled a rabbit.... completely white hair and ruby eyes...plus his manner of eating a salad...it was clearly and 100% that this guy was rabbit for sure.

After finishing off the chicken(it didn't took him too much time to eat it.)Bell bowed down unable to express his gratitude by mere words.

"Please,madam,tell me how can I repay this debt to you! I would never forget your kindness."

It was already his 100th time bowing up and down.

The woman near him didn't said a word but watched him cutely fuss around trying to find a single task to repay his debt.

"If there is anything I can do I will do it right away to repay my debt so feel free to ask for anything."

She chuckled.

"Well than...."

She slowly got near him...all red Bell backed down a bit...the atmosphere was getting a bit...too risky for Bell.

"You know...you can actually do something real good."

Slowly approaching him she placed her hand on his chest.

"H-h-huh? Wh-Wha???" Feeling shy and nervous Bell was watching around for help.

"You know~" she slowly whispered to his ears with her small chest touching him. "Let me ride your back~!!!"

....

A silence...the feeling of being safe and at the same time the process of not expecting this kind of answer.

"R-Ride you on my back?"

"Umu! Ya know like I'm totally drunk and am barely walkin' on my twos so...ridin' in your back is the way for you to repay ya debt."

Well it wasn't that bad.

Feeling that he won't regret from this he agreed.

She slowly climbed up his back...well it wasn't actually that difficult to climb up him as he was short as well.... actually she was much taller than him.

"Yup. Show me the way miss."

"Sure~!" Still drunk as if riding a horse she showed him the way where to go.

Passing alley after alley. Bell couldn't help but become charmed by the night sight of Orario. Hundreds of shops with endless kinds of goods to buy. Cheerful people. Strong looking adventurers.

Despite him being penniless without any soul behind his back Bell didn't regretted coming all the way from his hometown towards Orario. Looking up he saw it...the huge tower which was reaching all the way towards the sky,from a distant look it seemed that it can cut through heavens.

"Babel tower." The woman said silently.

"Huh?"

"This tower is called Babel Tower...the place where adventurers gather to earn money."

Of course Bell knew it but he decided to listen anyway.

"This place is like a fresh start to any kind of human....than again it is also a huge graveyard. Everyday there might be at least two people dying in dungeon. This place is filled with blood,money,hatred and will to fight...but despite this fact people still go there."

She referred to this as foolish act only led by money... however Bell had a different kinds of thoughts.

"Isn't it cool?"

"Hm? And what is?"

"People know that they can die, people fear death....and still they all go there. Surely some people are led by greed but....I think every adventure is led by greed. Greed to get money,greed for adventures and greed to feel the warm blood going through your veins...I just wonder how does it all feel?"

"Haha..." She started to laugh. "Ahahaha! You are really funny guy! But that adds some charm onto you."

The rest of the journey passed rather silent...the atmosphere seemed real good. Bell being amazed by sight and the red headed woman grinning while watching his pure face filled with naiveness.

It was a good portion of time since she felt something like that...her heart seemed to pound fast...

"Welp! We are here!"

"Wh-Wh-Wha!?!?!?" Bell looked upward seeing the huge building....well actually it was like a castle rather than an ordinary building.

"Freeze! Who are you,scum!?"

Two guards on entrance pointed there spears towards Bell.

Poor guy didn't knew what to do and just raised his hands upward.

"Goddess! Come over here this guy might be dangerous."

The woman sighed holding her hand near her forehead.

"Man oh man....He is my guest and you both are pointing your spears towards him?"

"Well...he looks suspicious and....dirty"

"And plus...poor as homeless."

Every words were like a sword stabbing Bell's heart.

It's not like being poor was my wish...,he said under his breath.

"Look at him... does this guy seems that dangerous? Maximum he can do is harm a fly...and beside he would surely apologies to it for Harming."

She was right...and Bell didn't deny that as well.

"I-I see.... sorry, Goddess and sorry umm...Dirty Rabbit."

Bell sweat dropped hearing his new nickname.

Anyway,Loki made Bell to enter.

Bell was nervous as he never saw building this huge and tall...and fancy as well.

Feeling like a dust on swarm of gold he felt embarrassed.

"U-Uhm....those guys called you a Goddess....d-does that mean that you are..."

"Eh? I didn't told you right?" She lightly hit her head winking in reassuring tone and saying something similar to 'I forgot,lol.'

"Wh-Wh-What!? All this time I was carelessly talking with a Goddess!? P-Please excuse me my bad manners!!!"

Yet again he started to Bow.

The newly found goddess just smiled sneakily a bit opening her always closed eyes.

"Loki... I'm Loki the Goddess of Loki Familia."

Bell's lungs started to disobey. He started to breath heavily and nervous.

"D-Do you mean that this is L-Loki Familia!!!? N-No way."

Loki Familia was known around Orario for it being strongest familia around... feeling like dust Bell wanted to jump from excitement seeing such a huge and lovey place.

"I th-think I should better go."

Turning around and wanting to run he was caught by Loki.

"Where are you goin' lil boy~!"

"I-I am Bell... and I think it's better for me to go away from here...I-I heard that outsiders aren't welcomed in Familias...."

"True,Bell-chan,but who said that you are an outsider?"

"Huh?"

What does she mean? Bell thought to himself.

Loki's expression was rather a sneaky one....well she was actually a goddess of fraud after all but that had nothing to do with Bell's situation at the moment.

"So~,Bell-chan" she raised her hand pointing it towards him. "Won't you join our Familia?"

"H-Huh...Eh?...wha?... WHAT!?!?"

Hello~! You all probably know me,Jumbo,and my love to make a harem fics.

It is my first time writing a Danmachi fic as you know at what kind of fics I was mainly focused.

I searched internet to it's very corners to find a story of Danmachi which fit my interests but I sadly found nothing but trash fics with a bit stupid plot.... I'm not saying that my work is the best one so I just made something which was to my taste.

I hope you enjoyed this story...as always thanks for reading and I'm out.
