Danmachi: I Got Isekai'd but My Power Still With Me!

Chapter 3

"Ah, it's morning already," Bell muttered as he opened his eyes, stretching as he woke up.

"Huh? Reita-kun?" He glanced around but Reita was nowhere to be seen.

Getting out of bed, Bell headed to the living room, where everyone was going about their usual routines. As always, Hestia and Troops were bickering.

"Troops, where's Reita-kun?" Bell asked, still groggy.

Troops turned toward him. "Has he gone missing again?"

"Again?" Bell scratched his head.

"Yeah, he does this a lot when in our world. But don't worry, he always comes back before noon," Troops assured him.

Bell sighed in relief. "What's for breakfast?"

"Heh, Bell! I made a special breakfast just for you today. Look at this!" Hestia exclaimed, holding up a plate with a fried egg and two strips of bacon.

Troops snorted. "What's so special about that?"

"Curse you!" Hestia yelled, chasing Troops around the room, brandishing a spatula.

Bell smiled at the chaos, then sat down to eat. After finishing breakfast and some light conversation, he stood up and stretched.

"I'm going for a walk around town," Bell announced.

"Bell-sama! I want to join you!" Lili ran over, grabbing his sleeve with wide puppy-dog eyes.

Bell chuckled and gently shook his head. "I'm sorry, but it'll just be a quick walk."

Lili pouted but let go. "Alright, just be back before evening."

Bell nodded and headed out.

The city was lively, with people bustling around and going about their daily lives. Everything had returned to normal.

Bell, however, had a particular task in mind. He wanted to check on the mutant sealed by Reita the day before.

When he reached the site, a large crowd had gathered around the creature encased in a sealing cube. Among them, he spotted Freya and walked over.

"What brings you here, Freya-sama?" Bell asked.

Freya glanced at him. "I'm inspecting the mutant. It's just as Reita-san said-this creature is far more dangerous than any monster from our world. It regenerates, no matter what damage it takes. Frankly, I don't think any magic from this world could kill it."

Suddenly, the creature let out a deafening roar, punching the walls of its cube. Its body remained engulfed in an eternal flame that showed no sign of burning out.

Meanwhile, in a dungeon far away, Reita was on his first quest.

"Woohoo! These monsters are fun!" he shouted, rushing headlong into a group of them. With a swift Spark Strike, he wiped them out effortlessly.

"Give me more!" he laughed as more monsters spawned, grinning with exhilaration. "This is what I want-show me your passion, monsters!"

From a distance, Aiz and her familia watched him in disbelief.

"He's fighting a whole group of monsters by himself!" Lefiya exclaimed. "Is he crazy?"

Bete crossed his arms. "Let's see how he handles himself when the monsters get more aggressive."

Suddenly, something enormous leapt toward Reita, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"No way!" Lefiya gasped.
