(A.N) So guys think of this as an experimental chapter. I wanted to change my writing style, at least for this chapter so this is me trying it out for the first time so I'm not really used to it yet, tell me what you think about it. 

And on another note, this one shot is basically like a super compressed one shot version of a possible series I want to make, so I want to hear everyone's opinion about it, that's about it. And the chapter title was just for suspense ehehehe.

It was Bell's first day in Orario.

The city was even more incredible than he had imagined.

Towering buildings surrounded the streets, adventurers from all kinds of Familia walked past with weapons strapped to their bodies, and the distant sight of the Dungeon's towering structure made his heart race with excitement.

For someone who had spent most of his life in an orphanage, simply being here felt like stepping into one of the stories he had read so many times.

Bell had always loved stories about the Heroes of Orario.

The strong and mighty Zeus Familia. The elegant but willful Hera Familia. The Familia of justice, Astrea. The police force, Ganesha. And the rising stars, Loki and Freya.

To Bell, they weren't simply famous adventurers.

They were heroes.

Ever since he was young, he had dreamed of one day standing among people like them. Of becoming an adventurer, exploring the Dungeon, fighting monsters, and maybe... Someday, becoming a hero himself.

But dreams rarely went exactly as planned.

When Bell finally arrived in Orario, he quickly discovered that being a hopeful young adventurer wasn't enough to earn him a place in a Familia.

Nobody wanted him.

The Zeus and Hera Familia were away on a joint expedition and wouldn't be returning for several weeks, leaving Bell without even the chance to ask if he could join them. Well, even if the Hera Familia were present, they only accepted women so that was out. 

He tried his luck with the other Familia instead.

One rejection became two.

Two became several.

Before long, the excitement he had felt when he first entered Orario began to fade. His savings slowly disappeared, and with every closed door, his dream of becoming an adventurer seemed to drift further out of reach.

Then, when Bell was almost completely out of money, his luck finally changed.

Someone reached out to him.

His savior.

His goddess.

Hestia.

She gave Bell a place to stay when he had nowhere else to go. More importantly, she gave him something he had been desperately searching for since arriving in Orario.
