WARNING: MY WORK MIGHT CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS FROM THE LIGHT NOVEL. Lastly, in the first few chapters or so, chapter 3~7 is an info dump slop. Where you'll notice that I tend to over explain stuff so if you want, you can skip those parts, though you'll miss out on some stuff. But I suppose you can just go back to those chapters once you gained interest in my work. and to catch your attention, yes Alfia will exist in this work. ∆∆∆∆ (OC work) A unfortunate soul, whose name is Mitsukuji Yuuya, at a young age of 21 years old, passed away in a battle as he buys his comrades enough time to retreat. A bittersweet ending for him. He passed away with still so much goals and plans in his life that he will now never fulfill. Yet at the same time, he is happy for he was blessed with such kind friends and people in his life. And in an unexpected twist of fate, he was a given a second chance. He was transported in another world. But this world isn't normal. For he was transported in the world of DanMachi. An anime which he has watched before. And so, with the knowledge he has, how will he use it? Will he use it for good? Or will he use it for evil? Will he be the guide for a better future? Or will he destroy that future?

You inherited a curse. Now you must atone for your ancestors sins with this curse as you travel to Orario, the scars of your parent engrained on your back. Now you must look for a cure or you will lose yourself as the curse eats away at you.

Bell Cranel arrives in Orario hoping to become a hero. But after several rejections, he ends up under the blessing of a peculiar goddess: Hestia. Everything seems normal... until Bell awakens an impossible ability: [Loved by the World], capable of granting him blessings according to his wishes. From mastering combat to avoiding confusing sugar with salt, Bell will discover that his path as an adventurer is about to become as unpredictable as it is ridiculously unique.

The age of heroes is over. At least... that's what the world believes. After years of silence, Sora Yatagami returns to Orario- drawn back by something he can't ignore. A new generation is rising. And so are the shadows he left behind. This is where it all begins again.

So, this is my take on a what if scenario that I saw on Fanfiction originally. What if Bell had remained in Orario with his mother and ended up forming the Erebus Familia with Alfia and Zard. Also most things in this story my be subject to change depending on the eventual path I choose. Bell is 13 because he was born 5 years before Zeus and Hera set off to complete the three Great Quests. There will be obvious similarities as I based the first portion of it. However it should become apparent that there are significant differences in the stories by the end. I got a little more to add to this scene but I wanted to get it out because it had been bugging me as a writer. Also A Light Amidst the Darkness will be my primary focus for a while. So please only expect infrequent updates to this one for now. I also haven't thought out the beyond this introduction. I have ideas but no set narrative yet. So it will be a while before I get to the rest of this story.

⚠️ Disclaimer: I have no rights to this story - this is obviously fanfiction. I wrote this to satisfy my craving because Alise Lovell is my favorite character in DanMachi and I was sad she was dead well before the story began. I'm sorry for any spoilers I'm assuming like me you've read the whole thing. (AU) Alternate Universe of DanMachi Crimson Ghosts of Astraea 📖 Story Description What if Alise Lovell survived the Juggernaut? What if the Captain of the Astraea Familia walked the backstreets of Orario, blacklisted beside Ryu Lion, her fire dimmed but not extinguished? In this Alternate Universe of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, the flame of justice thought lost begins to flicker again. Bell Cranel is still the boy who dreams of being a hero. But his path twists the moment Alise's eyes find him - a reckless rabbit who refuses to quit. Drawn to his stubborn spark, she shadows him in the Dungeon, pushes him to his limits in secret training, and rediscovers a hope she swore had died with her Familia. Meanwhile, Ryu struggles between fear and belief. She sees in Bell the same reckless fire that once consumed her - and wonders whether he will share her fate or defy it. Together, these three lives collide in a story of justice, betrayal, and rebirth. From Monsterphilia to the Minotaur, from secret alcoves to crowded taverns, Bell's journey is no longer his alone. The ghosts of Astraea walk with him. Action. Loss. Bonds are stronger than death. This is the story of how one boy's dream and one woman's flame reshaped Orario's future.

Sirius gets reincarnated into Danmachi with one wish from a higher goddess as Bell arrives in Orario. But instead of continuing the story alongside Bell with an OP power, our protagonist chooses his wish to be transported to when the Astrea Familia are massacred and is given a temporary power to save them from their fates. How will this change of fate affect Orario and how will our protagonist grow?

Bell Cranel always dreamed of becoming a hero, but reality proved far crueler than his fantasies. Left humiliated and on the brink of death after a fateful encounter with a Minotaur and the adventurer Ais, something deep within him awakens-a power unlike any Falna, unrestricted by gods or mortal limitations. A system designed to evolve, granting him strength, skills, and the ability to defy the very nature of life and death. Every battle pushes him further beyond what an adventurer should be capable of, his growth accelerating beyond reason. But the more he rises, the more the world takes notice. The gods sense something unnatural. Lurking in the shadows are those who would kill to control- or destroy-what Bell has become. Now, Bell must navigate a world that was never meant for someone like him. Will he rise as the hero he always dreamed of, or will his power drag him down a path from which there is no return? The choice is his.

the story of Danmachi where Bell head's to Oranio, only this time, Enyo decides to move back to Oranio as she decided that even if the Loki and Freya familia wanted to oppose them, they wouldn't risk their familia since they were only beat because they were weak at the time, and they would most likely try to avoid conflict, and even if they wanted a fight, they would be ready this story is a what-if on if the Zeus familia followed Bell back as to both help him, and establish themselves in Oranio once again in my story timeline

An immortal but not a God. He opened a noodle specialist store and met a kid going down the path of an Avenger and...took her in until she found a Familia. pairing undecided.
