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.

Two Souls | Chishiya Shuntaro
♤♧♢♡ The sky, which had been bathed in a soft red, had to be an indication that this was a real world, after all there was a sun and a moon, as well as stars. Was I still on Earth then? Or were there other planets that had the same orbit? What should I do now? Should I wait for something to happen? Would that eventually wake me up? Or should I keep moving to find an answer? Questions upon questions, but no answers. A lump formed in my throat, and I had to swallow it. The sour aftertaste remained. The nausea had been with me all afternoon and didn't seem to let go of me even now, even though I had already eaten and drunk something. I turned away from the window and stared at the photo wall that Mom had put up for us on my fourteenth birthday. It was filled with memories of everything I never wanted to forget. I wanted more photos to be added, after all, my story was far from over. But would I ever go back to fulfill that wish? Now, I didn't believe such a reunion would happen. ♤♧♢♡ Based on the Alice in Borderland series by Netflix and the manga series by Haro Aso. This is a slow burn fanfiction. The story contains violence, inappropriate language and sexual themes - read at your own risk. This story is written in the first person narrative! There will be an open-ending!

Danmachi: From Toilet To The Wandering Explorer!!!
While casually reading a DanMachi FanFiction on the toilet, I suddenly found myself yanked into Orario, standing right in the Daedalus Street. Gone were the comforts of modern home, just me, my half-pulled-up pants, and the terrifying realization that I was now a clueless adventurer in a world filled with gods, dungeons, and deadly monsters. With no backup plan, I had to figure out how to survive in this fantasy realm-or risk becoming just another nameless casualty in the depths of the Dungeon! Wait... why is the Main character of the series gender bent?!....wait why is the people supposed to be dead still alive!? wait...am I...In A fanfiction?
Orario's Civil War
The Dark Age of Orario has dragged on for the last 12 years. Since the fall of the Zeus and Hera familias to the OEBD, a stalemated civil war has ground on with neither the Guild nor Evilus being able to gain the advantage. As the war drags on Orario drowns in ever deepening rivers of blood.
A Familia Chronicle
Alright so this is a new Story of mine. This one is going to somewhat closely follow cannon at least at the start. The initial concept is partly inspired by the following other stories/authors Be Their Hero by ShadowKnight138, Rebirth of the Zeus Familia By Ashkar, Essence of a Hero by Yorubu And A Rabbit By The Roadside By JLDavenport Having said that I am going to only use the vaguest sense or specific scenarios that I like in them. If you have read them, you will probably see the resemblance. If you have not read them, totally check them out. Story is rated M. Also since most of my stories are cannon divergence. I will state a couple of things right from the start. 1. Bell was born like in cannon immediately following the Zeus and Hera familias' defeat by the OEBD. 2. In regards to the exile orders, Loki and Freya are going to be more neutral parties than my other two stories. They are to resemble their cannon personalities much more closely and be less antagonist towards Zeus and Hera. 3. Secondly, the difficulty of ranking up outside of Orario will be the same as in cannon. So Bell is NOT going to get crazy strong outside of Orario but he will get to Orario by the end of this chapter with a certain Goddess that we all know and love.
His Story
In the beginning of his life, he doesn't remember much as he was a child. All Bell wants to do is continue to be an adventurer, to become a hero to someone and everyone, and starts his journey in the Labyrinth City, Orario. This follows the original story with my own additions, hopefully this wouldn't mind you guys that much as I'm trying to write again for fun in a really long time.
A Light Amidst the Darkness: A Danmachi Dark World Tale
In the depths of Orario's unforgiving labyrinthine expanse, where monsters and darkness reign unchallenged, a new saga unfurls. The choices of two champions, Zard and Alfia, to stand watch over their niece and nephew (Alice and Bell), send ripples across the globe, reshaping the very fabric of their world. Majority of canon characters in Main Series, Astraea Record and Sword Oratoria will appear in some manner.
Danmachi: Seikō no Amatsuki
Before the tale of the rabbit-hearted hero began-before Bell Cranel ever set foot in the Dungeon-there was another age. A time when legends still walked the streets of Orario, when the banners of Zeus and Hera fluttered proudly above all others. This... is the story of the Golden Era. At the heart of it all stands a boy named Amatsuki Haruto, a reincarnated soul with dreams no grander than a peaceful life-and yet fate, in its twisted sense of humor, decided otherwise. Armed with nothing but questionable common sense, half-baked skills, and trauma from "training" under his terrifyingly beautiful (and possibly ogre-blooded) master, Haruto is forced-yes, forced-to march toward the City of Heroes. His teacher's words still echo in his ears: "If you don't go, I'll beat your ass so hard you'll respawn in Tenkai." Thus, leaving behind his beloved little sister (and whatever remained of his dignity), Haruto begins his reluctant adventure. What awaits him is not peace, but chaos-where gods play dice with mortal fate, monsters crawl in endless darkness, and friendships are forged in shitty familia. And so begins the untold legend of the boy who would stumble, scream, and somehow survive amidst the gods- The story of Amatsuki Haruto, and the dawn of the Golden Era.
Is It Wrong To Level Up In A Dungeon?
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.
