Long ago. We, the Gods, decended into the world of our children, the humans, in hopes of finding excitement and inspiration. And so, we decided that we would reside here, in our lower world, for the rest of eternity. Sealing away our divine powers and live a modest life, surrounded by all the discomforts of human inconvenience.

The only thing we could offer in our earthly state, was the blessing. The power to fight and defeat monsters. The children who receive this gift become Familia or a direct relation to the Gods.

???: Which means YOU are now my family. The only member of the Hestia familia. Bell, are you listening? Bell!

A Minotaur chases a young, white haired boy towards a dead end in the dungeon, where it begins to slam its fists against the wall behind them. Suddenly, a sword is drawn and the minotaur drops to one knee. It turns to attack another adventurer, who cuts up its arm, forcing it to recoil in pain and repeat the process with the other arm. Soon enough, the creature splits clean down from its left shoulder, revealing the now bloodied white hair of the boy.

Blonde: You there. (Sheaths sword) Are you alright?

The two stare at eachother before cutting to a busy marketplace. The now red boy runs through while others joke and snicker behind his back. But who is this young adventure?

???: Miss Eina! Miss Eina!

A half-elf turns to smile at the boy.

Eina: It's Bell. (Horrified scream)

Bell: I wanna know everything there is to know about Miss Ais Wallenstein, please!

Skip to Guild meeting room

Eina: Well that was foolish. Going down to the fifth floor by yourself wasn't smart. Just going into the dungeon at all without a party is reckless enough. I keep telling you Adventurers do not go looking for adventure.

Bell: I know. I'm sorry.

Eina: Bell. Do you not even realise how lucky you are? You're a level one Adventurer. Six months ago you'd never even been in a dungeon and yet you still managed to escape a run in with a Minotaur.

Bell: Yeah.

Eina reaches over the table to flick Bells nose. He looks at her.

Eina: Anyway. I'm happy that you're safe but please be more careful okay? Oh and try not to run all over town covered in blood okay?

Bell: Got it. (Fidget) Listen, do you know anything about Miss Ais or what?

Eina: Miss Ais? You mean lady Wallenstein? The woman who had to swoop in and rescue you?

Bell: N-no. Well. Yeah.

Eina: So you've fallen for her?

Bell (Embarrassed): Maybe.
