Somewhere located in the mountain ranges. A giant cavern could be seen located on the sides of the mountains giving an air of eeriness to those who saw it. However, inside the dark cave was far different from the outside. The once nature-filled terrain was now filled with wood and metal pillars a kin to a mountain shaft. Steams were visible from a giant machine located at the corner as a source of light that spread throughout the cavern.
A mysterious man who wore a white trench coat, white pants, black shoes, and light chest plate armor stood in front of a very large glass with a purple glow illuminating from inside while holding a spear in hand. His eyes were serious, looking at the purple light inside as if he was waiting for something to happen.
"Shift change."
The Man's gaze shifted to the side to where the sudden voice came from, the he saw another Man who wore the same outfit holding two steaming mugs as he approached him.
"Anything strange?" the Colleague asked giving the other mug to him.
The Man shook his head. "Not yet, currently 'it' is quiet for now." He stated, taking a sip from his mug.
"It's kinda scary knowing what's inside that room right?"
"Yeah, said to be one of the Monsters that devastated the world. Still surprised they managed to seal it."
"You got that right, by the way, did someone already go to Orario to report the recent state of the seal?"
The Man nodded. "Yep, said to be one of the High Command."
"Which one?" questioned the Colleague, curious which High Command was sent to report to Orario.
"One from the New Faction."
"Wow, I heard his currently the only member." Said the Colleague remembering the small information about the New Faction. "Well let's hope we get Intel about the seal to maintain it."
"Yea-"
*CRACK*
Unfortunately, the Man did not finish what he was about to say because of the sudden shuttering of the glass. As the glass shards drop to the floor, the purple light starts to emit a stronger light than before enough to blind the two guards.
"Quickly go to the 'transport hub' to go to Orario quickly report this to the Commander." The Man ordered while managing to turn on the switch on one of the walls as the ceiling light turned red and a loud horn erupted.
"Got it." Said the Colleague before running in the opposite direction leaving only the Man behind.
"The Calamity is waking up from 'its' slumber." Said the Man with a mix of fear looking at the purple light.

It was another lively night at the Labyrinth City of Orario, as many vibrant lights scattered around its vast areas. Inside a certain pub, a white-haired boy who wore a black and brown jacket, black pants, and shoes sat at the counter while a tray of food was placed in front of him.
"I....think this is too much." The boy stated earning a sweatdropped and an awkward smile.
"It's Okay Bell, this is a one-in-a-lifetime celebration, and it's not every day we go to Orario." Assure a black-haired twin-tailed short woman who sat next to him.
"But-"
"Not Buts just relax just this time." She said before starting to eat.
"Fine..." Bell could only admit his defeat before taking a bite of his food.
He cannot blame his goddess' current attitude after all they just had arrived at the famous city of Orario this morning and had finished the tasks he had so it was time to relax tonight.
"Haha, I see you guys are new to Orario." Laugh a large muscular woman who wore a blue waitress dress that was in front of them on the other side of the counter.
"Yes, we just arrived here this morning, but were just visiting." Said the boy in a polite tone.
"Well then, I hope you enjoy your time."
"We will."
As the lively atmosphere continued in the pub Bell could not help but smile and relax for a bit enjoying the company of his goddess the delicious food. However, his relaxing moment was put on hold when a brown-haired cat announced the new customers who had arrived.
Seeing the new arrivals Bell was amazed to see one of the current strongest Familia of Orario the Loki Familia led by their goddess and renowned three executives who followed their goddess. After the three a group consisting of two amazons, an orange-haired elf, and the blond girl whose face was emotionless as a doll.
Bell quickly turned his head in the other direction trying to escape eye contact with the blond-haired girl whom he had met inside the dungeon earlier when he had decided to check it out. Upon entering the dungeon who would have not expected a Minotaur on the 5th floor due to his current state he had to run from the giant bull but ended up in a corner. Luckily for him, he was saved by the blond girl on time but due to him being in front of the Minotaur, the monster's blood stained his white clothes leading to him change into his current clothes. However, during that time because he was raised by his grandfather to be a 'gentleman', he ran away without saying anything to the girl, it wasn't because he felt embarrassed being saved by a beautiful girl...nope.
"Loki..." Seeing his goddess angered look at the red-haired goddess, Bell successfully calmed the goddess and focused only on the food.
The calm night continues once more as both Bell and his goddess enjoy the night.
"By the Way Bell."
"Yes, goddess Hestia?"
"So what did you do after finishing your task? You said you went to the dungeon, what did you do?"
At that moment Bell remembered he had not yet told Hestia what happened in the Dungeon due to her deciding to see an old friend of hers in Orario and separating their way upon finishing his task. This earns him to sweatdrop knowing an earful lecture from his goddess about not being reckless/
"W-Well."
*THUD*
The Boy was silent of the sudden drop of a mug. When both looked they saw a grey-haired wolf who was drunk yapping something that happened in the dungeon.
"Hey Ais, tell the story about the Minotaur incident, you know the tomato kid. Listen, when the horde of Minotaurs went up, apparently one of them stumbled on a rookie who was back in the corner and Ais saved that weakling but ran away afterward while covered in blood. Hahaha!!!"
Bell ignored what the wolf was saying and looked at Hestia who was now glaring at him like a parent who just found out their child did something bad. Before being lectured by Hestia, the boy's wristband on his right arm began to glow green and a sudden light suddenly glowed outside the pub this earned the full attention of the customers on what the cause of the light was.
Knowing the meaning of the sudden burst of light both Bell and Hestia stopped what they were doing and waited for the one who had used the 'transport hub' to teleport here.
*CREAK*
The sudden opening of the door made everyone surprised to see a mysterious individual who wore a full white uniform with a horrified look. Before anyone questions the identity of the man, his gaze locked on the white-haired boy before opening his mouth.
"Commander Cranel, this is an Emergency. The Black Dragon is starting to wake up!!!"
A dead silence spread to the pub as the atmosphere became serious. Only the footsteps of the boy who was walking toward the mysterious man could be heard. When the boy was in front of the man his red eyes stared at him with seriousness. The man was much taller compared to Bell's height but the atmosphere around the boy felt like he was as small as a bug in front of the young-looking teen.
He slowly opened his mouth while still gazing at the man. "Report." He ordered with a cold tone that could even freeze a fire itself.
