A Hollow in Danmachi

Eina:"Ok mister Grimmjaw-san. All paperwork is done. You are now officialy one of Orario's adventurers!"

I feel so happy right now.

I never managed to 'live' on Earth. The only stuff that kept me sane was manga/anime, so you can tecnicaly say that I was living in another world to begin with, but of course I coulden't truly live there as I had to maintain my phisical body that was stuck of Earth. Anyway, it was quite ironic that I got my chance to truely live only after I died!

I got the cliche reincarnation story. I asked to be in Damnachi-verse as Bell (but changed my name and aparence) and to have the powers from Ulquiorra Cifer from Bleach-verse. I did not get to be full Ulquiorra, as god said it was too much power for Damnachi-verse, but I was satisfyed with my new custom bloodline.

Eina:"Would you like to see the list of familias currently recruting?"

I am now at the Guild's office, registering as a newbie adventurer. Eina was apointed as my personal advisor like in cannon.

Me:"Hummm... May I see the full list? Instead of just the recruting familias?"

Eina:"I recomend you join a familia as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the perfect one. As you can allways do so later, after you get some experience in dungeoning."

Me:"Ok, but may I still see it? Just for curiosity's sake."

Eina nod, and some time later, I find the info on the familia I'm looking for.

Hestia familia.

I look through the entire list to make sure there is no one better, but in the end I decide to go with Hestia like cannon.

Me:"Is Hestia familia recruting right now?"

Eina:"Hestia-sama? Yes, she is. I met her once. She decended from heaven just the other day. As she is not a famous godess, no one wanted to join her familia. Poor girl have been living in a ruin in the city. You sure you want to join her familia? The only thing she'll be able to provide you is her falna. It will be very hard for a newbie adventurer such as yourself to live in such a familia."

Me:"From what I've read on her file, she seems to be the best match for me."

Eina looks at me like I was a bit crazy.

Eina:"*sigh* I don't understand your reasoning, but the life is yours. Here is her adress *hands over a piece of paper*. If she acepts you into her familia and grant you a falna, remember to update your files here at the guild."

Me:"Understood. Thank you for everything, Eina-san."

.

I when to ask Hestia to be a part of her familia, and my god, did she acept in a heartbeat!

Like, seriously? I know that she is dirt poor and as such, she don't have to worry about robbers, but still! A random pearson knocs on your door and ask to be a part of your family and you agree on the spot!? I diden't even get to tell her my f* name!

She happily drag me to the bedrooom.

Hestia:"Ok, lie down here on the bed and take your shirt off!"

Me:"Er... Before that..."

Hestia freezes on the spot and drops her neddle (when did she even got that!?). She looks at me teary eyed.

Hestia:"Y-you are not having second thoughts, are you?"

Me:"Wha-? NO! *sigh* I just wanted to ask you to not freak out. It is just a race thing."

I then take off my shirt, exposing the gaping hole in my chest.

She goes wide eyed.

Hestia:"Race thing? What kind of race have holes in their chest!? I may be new to this, but I am not that ignorant!"

Me:"*Nod* I know. This is why I want you to keep my race a secret. Ok?"

Hestia just sigh and noded, but deep down it is obvious that she wants to ask a million questions, such as 'what's your race?''how are you alive with a hole in your chest?''why have no one heard about something like you before?''why does it need to be kept a secret?'.

I chuckle a bit at her funny face.

Problem solved, I lay on the bed face down and Hestia pricks her finger with a neddle. She then proceds to write on my back with her blood.

Hestia:"The hole is kinda in the way. I'll have to go arround it. The tatoo will look a bit weird, but the falna will work as normal."

I nod.

Me:"Ok."

A bit of a light show starts on my back.

Near the end of the ritual, Hestia frowns.

Hestia:"Racial traits usualy don't show on the falna, but I can still read it and I have to say, I have no idea at what I'm looking at."

Me:"Carefull there! Don't look at it to deeply or you will go crazy!"

Hestia:"Eeeeh!? For real!?"

Me:"I'm not completly sure, but I don't wanna risk it!"

I don't know how the falna works. I don't want Hestia to be exposed to my hollow energy. I don't know how harmfull it would be to a god, but better safe then sorry!

Hestia:"O-ok! Er... Anyway, I can make your racial traits visible on the status board paper if you want. Again, this is not something usualy done, but I can do it if you'd like to see it."

I think for a second before noding again.

Me:"Ok. but we're burning the paper afterwards!"

The lights fade and Hestia passes me a sheet of paper with a bright smile on her face.

Hestia:"All done! You are now the first member of the Hestia familia, Gimmjaw-san!"

Me:"Thank you. And please just call me Matt. We're family now, right?"

Hestia's smile grew even wider.

Me:"Would you like to see my stats with me? I may be able to explain a thing or two. No promisses tho."

I sit up on the bed and put my shirt back on. As I start to read the paper, Hestia sat beside me and started to read as well.

[Name: Matthew Grimmjaw

.

Race: Hollow(Vasto Lorde)(Arrancar)

...]

.

I point at my race.

Me:" The race was named Hollow due to the hole we have in the chest. 'Vasto Lorde' and 'Arrancar' are subcategories. 'Hollow' is a VERY wide term, so the subcategories are necessary. It is sortoff like the animal people that have subcategories like 'dog' and 'cat'."

Hestia nods and we continue on reading.

(Racial)Zampakto

(Racial)Resurrection{Ressurrección}

(Racial)Zero{Cero}

(Racial)Soul eater

(Racial)Unaging

...]

Me:"Ok, Hierro is a defensive ability that compresses mana in the skin and increases its durability."

Hestia:"Wait, if it uses mana it should be a spell, right?"

Me:"No. As to how skills and magic are classified, Hierro is surprisingly a skill. Other then consuming mana as fuel, it is 100% not a spell, It does not even use any chant."

Hestia:"Ugh. I sure have to keep an open mind with you. This Hierro sounds more like a grey area then anything else. A skill that uses mana is unheard of."

Me"Well, you better brace yourself cause there is more. High speed regeneration now. Mine is quite weak. I have seen people with this ability that could regrow lost limbs within seconds! I can barely reatach mine if I'm given several hours. Overall, it is a healing ability. But again, mine is so weak I'm better of with potions."

Hestia: "Reataching limbs reliably like this sounds amazing already! And regrowing limbs within seconds is not something most people would beliave in even with a demonstration!"

I ignore her.

Me:"Zampakto is my sword. I can summon and unsummon it at will."

To show her, I extend my arm and summon my zampakto. Hestia's eyes went wide at the blade that came from thin air.

Me:"Before you ask about Resurection, no, I can't come back from the dead, it is just a name."

I unsummon my sword.

Me:"As far as I know, Resurection is classified as a beastification skill. It merges me with my zampakto to boost my stats. It changes my aparence quite drasticaly while in use. It is a trump card, as it consumes A LOT of mana to keep up.

Hestia:"Can you show me one of these days?"

Me:"Perhaps. Now about the other skills, I won't talk about them just yet."

I'm sure that Hestia wanted to know about the Soul eater and the Unaging skills, but she kept quiet.

Curses:

(Ratial)Hollow soul

(A/N:the never ending hunger, the apetite for human souls, the destructive impulses... all that Hollow stuff. It will be completly negligible to MC however, as per his wish)]

Hestia:"You're cursed? No, wait! It is a racial trait! Your whole SPECIES is cursed!?"

Me:"Yes."

Hestia noticed my pained face and diden't ask anything further.

Me:"Ok, now let's burn this. And get to know each other a little better!"

I said the last part with an angry face. Hestia got a little scared about my change of mood.

Hestia:"M-Matt! Did I did something wrong?"

Me:"You sure did! As thankfull as I am for you letting me join your familia, a stranger knocked on your door wanting to be a part of your family and you agreed on the spot!!! YOU DIDEN'T EVEN KNEW MY NAME BEFORE YOU GAVE ME YOUR FALNA!!! Heck! I even fit in the 'shady pearson' category with all the creapy secrets I'm keeping! I had researshed your file and asked a bit about you before coming here, but you had no idea at all about who I was! What if I was/am an evil fella!?..."

I gave Hestia an earfull till it was bedtime.

Me:"*sigh* Ok. It is late now. Let's go to sleep."

Hestia:"Thank heavan! My ears are bleeding!"

Me:"Yeah, I got carried away. I'm sorry. But I realy don't want something bad to happen to you, you know?"

Hestia gave a little smile.

Me:"Oh, by the way. Where should I sleep?"

Hestia:"Oh, My bed is big enought for us both. :) "
