Thank you so much for your comment! I understand that the MC's personality can be a bit unpleasant, and that’s definitely a challenge on my end. Honestly, I intentionally made the MC somewhat “flawed” in the beginning to leave room for character growth. But I do realize I need to be more careful so readers can still relate to them. Feedback like this really helps me improve moving forward.

Yeah, I feel it's kinda different too. But I'm curious—what do you think is the biggest thing that sets this story apart?

Though it sounded like he was hinting at an origin from another world, what Grogga truly meant was simpler—he perceived a different world than Kazuma did. It wasn’t about a place, but a way of seeing reality.

MC actually already has a strong resolve to follow his own path, but it's not intense enough yet to trigger a special skill. Unlike Avenger's hatred which exploded immediately. Perhaps a more severe test is needed to crystallize his determination into a skill.

Yes, that’s an OC (Original Character), not from the original DanMachi story. This fanfic mainly focuses on OC characters, so you can expect a lot of new faces to appear, each with their own unique background and personality.

Wow, thanks so much for reading up to chapter 20! 🙏 The MC was intentionally made not too 'wow' at the beginning since the conflict will build up gradually. There’s going to be a twist involving his relationship with Bell, so please look forward to it~ I’ve noted your suggestion about the side story! 😄
