Bill's Goddess Adventure
A: Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon Story
Chapter 1
"Okay are you SURE this is the exit? Last time we found a door we ended up in Beast Wars." Ghost spoke
"I agree. This way is weird. It has a golden door." Grey frowned "And it was glowing."
"This is the way I came in?" Catherine shrugged
"Well, let's see if we're lucky." Ghost sighed as he opened the door.
And they found... Another theatre
"Oh God damn it!" Ghost groaned "I'm gonna check the supplies, Grey can you check which universe we're in now please?"
"Sure." Grey nodded, sitting in a concept looking seat and picking up a peace of paper "Wow... This place is like 10X better than the other places we've been in. Okay, the Universe. It's a... Er... I can't pronounce or spell the Japanese name. It's in the same form of universe as 'Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon." Grey read
"That's a long name." Catherine scoffed, sitting down with one leg crossed over the other
"What's this story about?" Luna asked, sitting next to Grey
"Let's see." Grey hummed before he read "Bill is an new Adventurer. And after becoming the only member of the Familia of the Greek Goddess of Marriage, Hera, he begins his journey to greatness."
"So...it's like an RPG sort of thing?" Ghost asked
"A...Bow-Ken-Gah?" Ghost tried to split it so he could try and understand
"... Japanese for Adventurer. As well as the name of the 30th Super Sentai, just spelt differently as Boukenger. I'm a Toku fan." Grey chuckled after a small pause
"You're adorable Grey." Luna teased happily
"Thanks." Grey blushed, laughed
"And a geek." Catherine smirked, making Grey face-fault
"Don't be mean to him." Luna pouted, cheeks puffed out
"Got anything useful?" Grey asked Ghost, sitting back up
"Well...useful may not be completely true...but I DID find these." Ghost pulled up the Infinity Gauntlet and the six infinity gems.
"... WHAT?!" The three others yelled
"Yeah...Look here: Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity Gems. If found please return to Thanos. Fuck that." Ghost answered
"We can get out!" Grey cheered
"Oh yeah...But that means no more adventures." Ghost answered a little sadly
"So? We can go home!" Grey said, grabbing the gauntlet and putting the gems into the gauntlet
"Well we lost Grey to the crazy. It was good seeing you again Luna." Ghost sighed
"Same." She smiled
As Grey prepared to activate the Gauntlet... It turned to stone
"Err...is it SUPPOSED to do that?" Catherine asked
"Pretty sure it's NOT supposed to do that." Ghost answered "What happened?"
"I... It broke..." Grey muttered in defeat
"What is this Aladdin?" Ghost deadpanned
"So...does that mean more adventures?" Catherine asked
"I think so." Grey sighed, siting back down
"Okay so...we've got a RPG like anime adventurer...who works for the Greek Goddess of family and childbirth...should be a good watch." Ghost answered as he dusted away the gauntlet; after he pocketed some souvenirs.
"As well as Norse Guards and other pantheons." Grey added "Mission Start!" He called, clicking
*to the story*
In a seemingly endless shadow filled rocky cave, a young man ran around
He was battling what looked like giant ants
"Ants...had to be ants..." The young man panted, in his hand was a rusted sword in his right hand; he was wearing a thin leather jerkin over a white cloth tunic and wore brown cloth trousers and leather shoes.
There were only about five of them, but the man was clearly exhausted already
'Only one health potion left...' He thought as he went on guard to defend himself.
He span his sword, widening his stance and frowning. This... Was not good.
*flash back*
The same man entered a massive town wearing a white shirt, loose pants, slippers and a large brown trench-coat with a backpack
The town was a plethora of various people: humans, elves, dwarves, half-human animal hybrids.
"Finally." He smiled "After all these years... I can start my Adventure."
He walked over to a building where he patted a horse on its head as he went inside. This was a boarding house; he just needed a place to rest while his feet stopped throbbing.
After buying a room for the night he took a piece of paper. It had a list of several places with a name next to it
This man, barley 19, was Bill. An orphan from a small village miles way.
No fancy name. No great back story. He... He was just a random guy.
And he wanted to be a Hero. He wanted to be a great Adventurer, just like the Heroes be ready about as a child. He wanted to be the hope that would help people keep going. And he was hoping... To find a family. Friends, who he would grow so close to they would consider him a brother.
And this was the first part of said adventure.
*time skip*
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T JOIN?!" Bill yelled at a muscular man in anger and defeat
"Listen kid. Get stronger and MAYBE we will accept you in the Hermis Familia. Till then, get lost." The man snapped, slamming the door closed
"Fuck you to." Bill muttered in defeat, walking away with his head low. That was the sixteen in a row. He had to join a Familia!
You see, years ago, the Gods defended from the Heavens. Greek, Japanese, Norse, Egyptian and more. However, they lost their godly powers on the mortal plane. What they did have, was Farna, a source of magic that they themselves could not use. But by making a pack with a human they gave the human access to Farna. This allowed them to learn magic, and have the God/Goddess the ability to see the abilities of the human. Their Status.
After years of study the growth and meaning of the numbers, letters and levels were understood. And the magic users worked to destroy monsters in the Dungeon's over the world. They were dubbed, Adventurers.
When a Monster was destroyed it became dust and all that would be left was a crystal. These crystals where amazing for making potions, equipment and other such items. Even giving them several 'futuristic' capabilities such as contact lenses and glasses. Because of this the crystals Adventures gained where exchanged for money and, to protect people, an organisation called the 'Guild' was created to help and to monitor the Adventurers.
And as such, the Guild did not let anyone BUT those in a Familia enter a Dungeon. A Familia being the name given to those in a pact with a God or Goddess
So in order to obtain his dream, Bill needed a Familia. And none wanted him.
Feeling heartbroken after the latest denial, and having walked for nearly three hours before giving up and walking a further twenty minutes after that, he curled into a ball at the side of a building in an alley.
He was defeated.
He couldn't... He wasn't good enough to even try!
He choked back tears. He hadn't cried in years but having your dream stolen from you would make anyone cry
"Are you okay?" A soft female voice asked, making Bill stop crying and look up in shock
Bill sniffed wiping his eyes with his sleeve "No...I...I've just been rejected by ANOTHER Familia. I can't join...ANYTHING." Bill began to tear up again.
"Oh... Come here." The voice said, Bill being pulled into a hug that filled him with warmth he hadn't felt since his mother died
Bill sniffed lightly as he felt this unknown woman's arms wrap around him. He looked up and beheld a beautiful woman. She had beautiful black hair and eyes that shone like starlight.
"W... Who are you?" He asked
"My name is Hera." The woman spoke kindly.
"Hera? The Goddess of Marriage and family?!" Bill gasped, shocking Hera. Someone knew who she was! Most people just saw her as 'Zeus' bitter wife'
"You... Know who I am?" She asked in shock
"Of course!" Bill reassured her "I've heard the stories of a great and powerful Goddess who holds family in such high regard! But I'd never thought I'd actually MEET you!"
Hera actually blushed a bit and looked away "Thank you." She smiled slightly
"I saw that you wanted to join a Familia; and all of them rejected you." Hera commented sadly
"Yeah...None of these Familias will have me." Bill sighed heavily.
"I will." She smiled
"Y-You will?" Bill double-took in joy
"Yes." Hera nodded
"Really?" He asked happily
"Am I speaking Greek here?" Hera joked as she reassured him
But then she gasped as she was nearly knocked over, Bill all but jumping at her
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" He yelled
*Mini Time Skip*
Bill was walking with Hera to an old looking house-church; it looked like it was built to be part of a grand castle
"What is this place?" He asked in amazement
"My home. I own it for a very low price rent because of its condition." She explained, opening a secret door
"It's a palace..." Bill thought in amazement and awe. His old home was quite literally one room with everything in there.
"It's a rundown wreck I use to hide from... Him." She sighed
"Zeus? I'm sorry." Bill apologised as he guessed the right answer.
"It is not your problem. Now... Take off your shirt." She ordered
"Y-Yes Ma'am." Bill did as he was told and removed his shirt.
Although he was confused and nervous.
"Now lay on your stomach." She ordered, trying not to look at his subtly muscular body
"O-Okay...this isn't going to hurt is it?" Bill asked
"I do not believe so. I have never done this before." She said, sitting on his legs and placing her cold hands onto his back.
He hissed as he felt his body warm up and her cold hands nearly burn him. It was like he just came out of a sauna and someone who had been in a snow storm had touched his bare back. It was the vastly different temperatures that made him feel weird.
Hera's hands glowed, writing slowly appearing in his back like a tattoo
"It...It's warm." Bill commented as the tattoo settled.
"Good." She nodded
"Is...Is it almost done?" Bill asked
"Yes." She nodded, grasping a piece of paper and placing it against her back
"What's that for?" Bill asked as she traced a circle on it.
"So we can see your Status." She nodded
"Oh...So what does it say?" Bill asked
"Average." Hera noted "All in the low hundreds."
"So...not too bad, but not that great?" Bill asked
"Exactly. You are very good for someone your age and build." She nodded, smiling softly
"I've been training most of my life." Bill smiled "So...what do I do now?" he asked getting up.
"Now... We need to register with the Guild." She sighed
"I'm guessing it's easier said than done." Bill asked in worry.
"Of course." She nodded
"Well...No time like the present." Bill smiled putting his shirt on.
Hera nodded, getting her bag
*time skip*
They headed to the Guild Hall and they were being sorted by the master.
It was a massive building, the two waiting for the one who would be Bill's advisor with the needed paper work
"Nervous?" Hera asked feeling nervous herself
"A little...You?" he smiled lightly
"A tiny bit." She nodded
"Bill and Hera?" a woman's voice spoke kindly.
"Oh, that's-that's us." Bill called out nervously
The two stood up and followed the woman, who was dressed in a fancy female suit and had pointed ears
"An elf?" Bill whispered to Hera
"Yes." Hera answered
"And one with exceptionally sharp hearing." the woman spoke
"GAH! SORRY!" Bill yelled nervously, jumping back
"It is fine." The elf nodded, leading then to a booth and sitting down "First, as Hera-Sama does not have a Familia already and has never had one before; I require her to fill in this paper work. And you, Bill, need to fill in this paper work to register with the Guild." She said, giving them both a form
"Thank you." Bill nodded
"You're welcome." the elf woman answered as Bill began to fill out the forms
The woman had neck length blue hair, sparkling purple eyes and was wearing a set of glasses
"Oh...can't answer that one..." Bill whispered
"You can't answer which one?" the woman asked
"Next Of Kin..." Bill answered
"Then please put NA." she said sadly
"Thank you..." Bill answered as he carried on.
"Done." Hera nodded, handing in her paperwork
"Here we are..." Bill handed the paperwork to the elf.
"Thank you. Now I need to see your status and you will be required to bring your updated status to the day after. So I recommend you do them at night so they are up to date. As you get stronger you will need to update less as it will take longer to increase." The elf explained
"Of course." Hera nodded, passing the elf the status she took of Bill earlier "Do you understand Bill?"
"I think so...the earlier I increase my status the weaker I am, the longer it takes me to increase my status the stronger I am...and I'll need to give you my updated status information the next morning if I have increased." Bill tried to dumb it down so he could understand it.
"No." The elf replied "It will take you longer to increase your stats the stronger you become. For a while you must show me your Status every time you update it, which should be every day for the first three or four months."
"Okay. Thank you...err...I'm sorry I didn't catch your name." Bill apologised
"Oh! Sorry! My name is Kurumu." The elf-woman nodded, smiling "I need to know this so I can authorise how deep you can go. Now, do you already have any equipment or weapons?"
"I...just have food and clothes." Bill answered "And I've got a few coins." He then pulled out a rusted sword "And I have this."
Kurumu sighed, face palming "Okay... Here is the beginner gear." She sighed. She placed a dark brown body suit with Silver chest armour, shoulder pads, shin guards and some pouches and belts.
"Thank you." Bill smiled graciously taking the equipment.
"With all this... You can only go two floors in." She nodded
"Two floors...I can manage with that." Bill nodded
"Then I hope that you survive." Kurumu said overly cheerfully for the morbid comment, grasping his hand and shaking it
"That's...thank you...?" Bill gulped lightly as he let go and smiled at Hera.
And that was where he actually looked at how Hera was dressed
Hera was dressed in a long blue robe, accented with golden trim, it glittered with silver sequins in the sun...they looked like stars.
"Ready to go home Bill? Or would you like to go to the Dungeon?" Hera asked
"Home...I need some time to prepare." Bill smiled
"Of course." She nodded, smiling
*time skip, later that night*
"Ready for the first update?" Hera asked kindly.
"But I haven't done anything to up my stats." He frowned
"Well, it'd be good practice for me and it'll be a nice memento." Hera answered
"Okay." Bill sighed, smiling lightly "If you say so Hera-Sama."
"Please don't call me that." she giggled
"What about "Lady-Hera"?" Bill half-joked
"That works." She nodded "Now shirt off, stomach first in bed."
"Recurring theme." Bill smiled as he did just that.
And once again Hera sat on his legs, her hands glowing blue. This time it didn't feel weird when she put her hands on his back in fact it was calming
Bill took a slow breath as he felt Hera trace around the paper, and the status appeared before them.
"There." She smiled, putting it in a scrap book
"One down...a lot more to go." Bill smiled
"Well, it's time for bed." Hera nodded
"Yeah...Goodnight Lady Hera." Bill yawned
... And then he realised there was only one bed
"Oh...Err...well, I can sleep on the floor." Bill offered. "Or the sofa."
"No. I can't make you do that." She frowned, blushing a bit
"It's not trouble. I mean...I've slept on worse..." Bill spoke normally then mumbled the last part
"No!" She glared lightly
"O-Okay..." Bill gulped as they both got into bed together, amicably and like friends.
But both where blushing, looking away from the other
"Err...g-goodnight." Bill gulped trying to sleep.
"Goodnight." Hera answered
And with that, they tried to go to sleep
It was mostly awkward, neither could fully go to sleep, Bill wanted to but he noticed the full moon through the window...it reminded him of his old house with his mother, they'd just stare at it and the stars on clear nights and pretend they were adventurers.
Eventually morning came, and he got dressed in his new armour while packing some extra stuff in a backpack including the potions Kurumu gave him
"Good luck Bill." Hera smiled "You're gonna be great."
"Thank you Lady-Hera." Bill smiled
*end flashback*
"Yea... I'm gonna be great." He muttered. His armour had been broken and he had to replace it with the Leather he was currently wearing. And his sword as slowly being chipped away from the rust
The giant ants snapped at him, there were only two left, but his sword was nearing the last of its usage. Bill backed up from the ants dodging their pincers.
With a yell, he slammed the blade into an ants head killing it
The ant turned into a black mist leaving behind a crystal but Bill had to be careful, one wrong move and he'd lose his hand, at minimum. The second ant snapped at him again wiggling it's feelers at him trying to get a good range.
'I've only got one shot at this!' Bill thought as he ducked under the ant, grabbed the crystal and stabbed the underbelly of the ant.
The ant screamed, turning into dust and the stone hitting his head softly
"Yes!" Bill smiled as he had collected his first crystals for money. But his smile turned to a shocked frown as he saw that his sword was now the size of a long dagger, a good portion of his sword had broken off when he cleaved into the ant. "NO!"
He fell to his knees, almost crying. He picked up the small shards of crystal off the ground. They were all a dark purple and each the size of a small toothpick, about three centimetres thick.
"These...these have to be fixed! I can't lose this!" Bill panicked. He shoved the crystals into his pouch and sheathed his...long dagger, into its sheath and put the other half into his backpack.
Taking a deep breath, after only about four hours inside the Dungeon's first and second floors, he ran back to the Guild.
*time skip*
"W... What do you MEAN these are only worth 800 Valis!" Joel yelled in shock. 50 Valis was needed to make a dinner, 300 to buy a dinner at a restaurant; The cheapest potions where 500 Valis. Cheap gear was roughly 3500 to 4000 Valis.
"Sorry kid. You got a lot of crystals here for your first day, but they are going and trash quality." The man behind the counter shrugged, passing him several coins
"No..." He muttered in defeat, backing up
"But...but I need to fix my sword!" Bill produced his broken blade
"Yeesh! Which graveyard did you steal THAT hunk of junk from? A repair for that is, at max 2600 Valis. And that's not even adding the amount to properly get it back to working state." The man spoke
"No." He muttered in defeat
"Maybe you can get some more from the Scrap-Dealer...a blade like that might be an additional 200 Valis." The person spoke
"NO!" He snapped, running away
"BILL!" Kurumu yelled, Bill not coming to see her. But it was too late; Bill was already out of the building
'I-I can't sell my blade! I WON'T!' Bill thought crying running back to his home
"Bill?" Hera muttered, looking away from the book she was reading to Bill
"I...I won't...I won't..." Bill cried holding the broken blade in his hands.
"Bill, what happened?" She frowned, standing up and walking towards him while putting her book aside
"My...blade is destroyed...beyond repair...And...I can't fix it." Bill answered choking back tears.
"It...It's that last thing of my dad..." Bill sniffed
"I'm sorry..." Hera frowned
"I never knew him that well...He died when I was young." Bill answered
"Was he an Adventurer?" Hera asked
"Mum said that he was...that's how he died." Bill answered
"And you broke it. But what's wrong?" She frowned
"I...can't have it fixed. I've only got 800 Valis." Bill answered
"Bill... I can fix it. And make it better." Hera smiled, running her fingers through his hair soothingly "I have stolen enough from Zeus under his nose to cover it. And that is if I can't get it done for free. I AM the mother to greatest Blacksmith ever remember."
"Y-You can?" Bill asked wiping his tears away "Thank you Lady Hera."
"It's okay my child. Don't cry." She smiled slightly, rubbing his tears away "Leave it to me."
"Okay...here. I err...also spent some money for food." Bill admitted
"Thank you." Hera smiled, taking a fried potato from a blushing Bill and biting into it softly
"It's what I could get from the 800 Valis; trying to conserve our budget." Bill admitted
"And as you get stronger you can get more money." She soothed
"Thank you..." Bill gulped as he took a bite from his fried potato.
"First: dinner." Hera smiled "Then we will fix your sword."
*time skip*
Hera and Bill were finishing up their dinner and it was nearing night time. "We should see if your status has improved since your fight." Hera spoke kindly
"O... Okay." Bill nodded, taking his shirt off
As Hera began to scan Bill's back with the parchment paper "Same as last night; okay?" Hera asked soothingly
"Okay." Bill nodded and began to relax.
As Hera began to scan Bill's back, she noticed that there WERE changes, just as Kurumu said.
"Impressive. You've increased roughly thirty in each stat." She nodded
"So...my new status is, give or take, 130?" Bill asked with a smile
"Roughly." She nodded
"That's good." Bill sighed happily. "So...I guess goodnight now?"
"Yes. I will go and repair your sword. You sleep." She nodded, smiling
"Thank you...Lady Hera..." Bill yawned and began to fall asleep.
Hera smiled, leaving the house.
She needed to see her child.
