Danmachi - Card Wizard

In a world where monsters crawl in the dungeon and gods walks on the surface of the world, adventurers fight to become stronger. Aidan, a young boy, wakes up in a small cave in the forest next to Orario. Without any memories of his past and only an urge to become stronger, the boy will aim to surpass the gods, for he is the card wizard. ---Extra info--- MC arrives 9 years before the start of the show and enters the Loki familia at the same time as Ais (they are both 7 years old at that time.) Reason for this choice: I could go two different routes for this fanfic. The fast one where he goes up a level in a month etc... basically like Bell in the anime or book... The other choice was lengthy and belieaveble. With this I can flesh out the characters, make relationships with the other characters, show a real progress, etc... (I'll try anyway and I chose the second choice) This novel is obviously a fanfiction. The world will be slightly altered since I'll make changes here and there, tho only small changes as I'll leave all the troubles to Bell once he goes to Orario. Finally, the MC will join the Loki familia? Why? Well, the story starts nine years before Bell arrives in Orario. So, Hestia isn't down yet. I'm not interested in Freya or a small familia. For Hephaestus familia, you can read 'endless path : infinite cosmos,' (he's been there a bit) which I loved reading, and so, I decided it'd be Loki familia. As for Harem, well, who knows? Certainly not me. Will only be updated when I feel like it. If you're interested, then I wish you a happy reading experience.

"Alright, let's go in!" Shouted Loki loudly with a playful demeanour as she strolled into the Hostess of Fertility.

Following the goddess with a weak smile, Riviera motioned the two to follow her as they walked inside the dining room and sat at a table with Gareth and Loki, who already had a bottle of alcohol in her hand.

The goddess then got up and raised her glass high as she attracted the attention of all the adventurers present, whether they were members of the Loki familia or not, along with the waitresses of the pub. "Welcome to all the new adventurers of the familia; it is all on me today!" She shouted a small sentence before sitting back down and drank as if she wanted to be drunk.

"Welcome back to the pub Loki-sama, what would you like to order today, nya~?" Asked the same cat girl who had taken their order the last time.

"All of your specials. Same as last time with a drink for Riviera and the two children." She answered as she pointed to the two.

"Alright, coming right up, nya~." She answered before leaving towards the back of the room towards the kitchen of the pub.

"And who would be those two?" Asked another waitress who had just passed by.

"Oh Syr-chan, you're working today!" Said Loki, who was already at her third drink. "Those two are newly recruited into my familia." She said, answering her previous question.

"Oh, and what are your names?" She asked Aidan and Ais as she approached them with a gentle smile which made her feel approachable.

"I'm Ais, and this is Aidan." Answered Ais at Aidan's surprise.

(Syr/Freya POV)

"Oh? It's nice meeting the two of you. My name is Syr, and I'm a waitress at this pub." She answered as she looked at the two young children in front of her.

'Those two are different.' She thought as she looked at their souls of different colours and more brilliant than ordinary souls.

She looked at the two who had just answered her with a gentle smile on her face.

'The girl's golden soul is so pure and brilliant. I have never seen anything like this for a long time. As for the boy, he has the same eyes as the girl. Moreover, with his slightly tanned skin and silver hair, he should grow up to be very handsome. His pure green soul is so brilliant. Even the high-elves blessed by nature aren't so green, pure and perfect. The two of them are certainly not humans. But what are they?' She thought as she continued a small conversation with the two of them.

'Wait! What is up with their souls? It is as if something is connecting them! Now that I look carefully, their souls are resonating together! What are they? Who are they? It's so interesting! It's been so long since someone could attract my attention so much! I want them!' She continued thinking while conversing with them.

'Right, they are new members of Loki's familia. Does it mean that they have signed a contract with her familia? Should I try to exchange them? No, Loki is not stupid. She will learn that something is weird between the two of them. I'll start by observing them from afar.' She concluded before saying her goodbyes and going back to the kitchen to calm down.

(Main POV)

'Hum, she seems nice, but she talked for way too long. She didn't stop even when we got our food served. Well, it doesn't matter; it tastes good anyway.' Thought Aidan as he looked at Ais, who hadn't even stopped for a second to think as she started eating directly.

'Right, let's start eating!' He continued before starting to eat the delicious food rapidly.

"Riviera?" Asked Aidan between two mouthfuls of food.

"Yes, Aidan?" She asked as she pushed back her goddess, who was trying to grope her.

"I was wondering, why are there almost no elves in the city? We shopped during the afternoon but merely saw one elf from afar." He asked curiously.

"Elves rarely leave the forest as they mostly look down on the other races." She explained as Aidan nodded his head in understanding at this simple explanation.

About twenty minutes later, as everyone was drinking and getting rowdier and rowdier, much to the displeasure of Mama Mia, who thought it was too much even for the pub, Riviera pulled up the last trick of her sleeve as no one was even listening to her.

"Aidan, when the man attacked you in the dungeon, can you explain to me what you did to the man who was talking loudly and not listening to you when he tried to attack you?" Asked Riviera loudly enough for everyone to hear while adding some additional points to make the people in the pub feel a similarity with their current behaviour.

"Oh? That man? I cut his leg and the bulge in his pants." Answered Aidan, not understanding why she asked this question at this moment but answering nonetheless.

In a moment, the previously rowdy pub immediately turned eerily silent as they looked at Aidan as a smile crept up on Riviera, Loki and Mama Mia's faces. At the same time, Gareth and Finn had an indescribable look on their faces.

"Aidan, Ais, next time something like that happens again, directly cut off the bulge in their pants." Said Loki, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic enough.

"I understand." Nodded Ais as it was the wish of her goddess as Aidan nodded solemnly.

When the goddess said this, all the men felt a chilling current blow through the dining hall as Finn immediately added something not to let the cruel future happen.

"Ais, Aidan, Loki was kidding. Just do this to people who want to attack you or do bad things to you. This bulge is significant to men; Aidan has it too." Said Finn, who had no idea what he was saying anymore as Ais sneaked a look at Aidan's pants with curiosity.

At the same time, Riviera, feeling slightly happy inside that her conversation with Aidan had managed to silence the pub, heard something she didn't want to hear.

"Oh? What is it for?" Asked Aidan honestly as Ais was equally curious. Why did he have it, but she did not?

"Oh, Riviera will tell you later." Answered Finn and Loki, who immediately abandoned the plan to continue and went straight back to drinking while pushing Riviera in the line of fire. After all, she had started it, and she would have to deal with the consequences.

With a black line appearing on her forehead, Riviera looked to both captain and goddess before sighing, seeing the two children looking at her intently. "Yes, I will tell you sometime in the future." She answered while thinking. 'They are both seven years old, and it should be fine for them to learn about it, right? At worst, I'll wait for a bit, and they should forget about the matter entirely.'

As she started to calm down and reason again, she turned to see Ais about to ask another question before interrupting her and asking: "Now that you finished eating supper, do you want dessert?" She asked as the noise in the background picked back up, albeit less loudly.

"I'll take the cake." Answered the two rapidly before smiling at each other as they turned back to stare at Riviera, who lifted her hand to call a waitress over and passed the order.

Finally, after two more hours, as the happy atmosphere appeared again, it was time to leave as it was getting late, and they would be getting up early the next day to move down to the 18th floor of the dungeon.

(Author's note)

Small chapter today, only 1300 words.

PS: The link in their souls was the Twin star skill in effect since they are currently together. When they are apart, the connection disappears, and it is not bad in itself.

- Appearance of Freya as Syr Flova cause people asked for it a lot.

- I'm not too happy about the chapter, but it is what it is.

- Next chapter: Ais's POV, which was also asked a lot.

Have a great day!
