Chapter 1: A Fateful Encounter

In the bustling city of Orario, adventurers and deities alike gathered to pursue their dreams and desires within the depths of the labyrinth. Among them was a young, aspiring adventurer named Leo. With a strong desire to prove himself, Leo had set out from his hometown to make a name for himself within the Dungeon. Armed with determination and a sense of adventure, he stepped foot into the great city.

One day, while exploring the bustling streets of Orario, Leo stumbled upon a quaint bakery named "Hestia's Hearth." Curious, he entered the bakery and was greeted by the warm aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries. Behind the counter stood a petite, freckled girl with vibrant blue eyes and a warm smile – none other than Hestia, the goddess herself.

"Welcome, dear customer! What can I get for you today?" Hestia chirped.

Leo, slightly taken aback by the goddess's presence, managed to stammer out his order. As he waited for his order to be prepared, he noticed a group of adventurers laughing and chatting at a nearby table. Among them was a skilled warrior named Bell Cranel, the famous "Little Rookie" who had captured the hearts of both adventurers and citizens alike.

Intrigued by Bell's reputation, Leo struck up a conversation with Hestia about him. As they chatted, Hestia couldn't help but notice Leo's earnest passion for becoming a true adventurer. She saw something special in him – a spark that reminded her of Bell when he had first started his journey.
