A/N: Remember Nethetaias from my story 'Zero Magia'? Since I got the guilt of not having him into the story more because of my laziness. I decided to create a story for him. This time, in another world. Also be sure to read Zero Magia first to avoid spoilers of what happened. Also contains an OP character but nowhere near OP as Magnus because... Just read Zero Magia to know. May or may not contain OOC.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danmachi and its characters.
Chapter 1: Descent
(3rd person POV Nethetaias)
'That bastard Magnus! He was an inheritor all along! He betrayed us.' Neth(A/N: Neth is short for Nethetaias) thought as he was in a black expanse.
'If I get out of here, I'll have my revenge! However... He did save us, and made me learned to smile. I guess he made us fade in order to have live a new life... Right?' Neth smiled.
'Huh? What is that?' Neth then neared the thing that appeared out of nowhere.
'Wait... This is a wormhole! Must get away!' Neth said as he felt a suction force and tried
to swim away but to no avail, he was sucked in it.
-City with a tallest darn tower you've ever seen, aka Babel-
"Eina-san~ Could you ple-" Said by a boy with red eyes and white hair before being interrupted by a crashing noise behind him. Everyone nearby eyed the one that created a hole in the ceiling and a crater nearby. Neth raised his hand before climbing out of the crater which he chanted a spell "⋘◑○∆※◁◈ ⋙" as he walk two steps. Then the damages became undone. He then survey his surroundings. Numerous people chatter about while shaking. 'Their language is not too complex. Must've been the work of that language.' He then summoned a white light and erased everything that has happened just now. The boy continued what he was doing. 'Unfamiliar world and an unfamiliar place. What's the first rule that Magnus assessed when we're stuck at that cesspool? Oh right. Information.' He then went behind the boy with white hair and waited for him to be done. The boy waved to the black-haired clerk and went away. "U-umm... What can I do for you?" Said by the girl in front of Neth. "I... Info... Language..." Said by him trying to learn the language in just a few words before ultimately failing because he barely failed the literature test but not the reading literature test.
"O-okay. Are you perhaps not here sir?" Asked by the girl before she gave him a book. Neth get the book then quickly flip all to the last page. "Uh... Sir, do you know how to read?" Asked by the girl again before Neth smiled "Of course, my dear. I am the fastest reader alive."
'Wait what?' thought by the girl as she was bewildered of what just happened.
"By the way, judging from your clothing. Are you perhaps a clerk of somesort?" Neth asked.
"N-no. I'm a guild receptionist." the girl then thought 'Is he from another continent or something?'
"Guild?" Neth calmly asked.
"Yes. Is this perhaps your first time in Babel?"
"Babel? By heavens miss. I thought Babel was distroyed by a rampaging Mad God... Or... Perhaps that was an other world that I just mention? Nah forget what I just said." Neth sighed.
"O-okay." The girl said but before thinking about what the man just said.
"How to join the guild?" Said by Neth.
"To join the guild, -bla bla bla- and a Familia." The girl informed.
"What is a Familia?" asked by Neth while tilting his head sideways to the left like a dog.
"Oh boy... A Familia is ruled by a God or Goddess, there are different types of Familias -bla bla bla-, and so do you wish to join the guild?"
"Oh great. I haven't joined any Familia at all. Well I guess I'm off then. Bye." Neth said before turning around and walked away while waving his hand.
'What a strange fellow...' Thought by the girl.
When he is outside the entrance, he created magic platforms and jumped on them while ascending to the top of Babel. Everyone that seen him are somehow got their mouths agaped.
-Highest point of the tower-
'So this is the view here. Fascinating.' He thought while admiring the view. He sat there a few minutes before he stepped at the edge of the magic platform and plunged downwards with his hands on open arms.
Then he materialized three pairs of grey wings and fly towards the church on the abandoned town to stay for the night.
He opened the door and saw no one. 'I guess I'm safe to sleep eh?' He thought before sitting and laying on the bench.
-Morning, Location: Abandoned Church-
"Mhmm..." murmured by Neth as he felt that his cheek was being poked. He opened his eyes and saw two people, a small girl that has twin tails and a boy with white hair.
Neth sit up before rubbing his eyes. He stared at them for a few minutes before asking, "Who are you two?"
"We're the one ones who own this place and-"Before the girl could finish, a rumble in Neth's stomach was heard before he blushed shyly. The boy laughed and said, "Hahaha... It sounds like a kitten's rumble. Hahahaha- Oh my sides..." the boy is now rolling on the floor laughing.
"Okay... I guess we have to feed this unprecedented visitor, Bell-kun" Said by the girl before smiling and begun to laugh.
-Moments later-
"That was a fine meal, thank you." Said by Neth as he removed the stain in his mouth.
The two are somehow baffled that Neth eat in such a refine way that if he was putted near a god, then the god would lose face if it was a contest.
"I have a question. Do you know where can I find the nearest Familia around here?" Neth asked as he putted the handkerchief down.
"We're actually the nearest Familia here." Said by the girl.
"Huh. Oh I see. Then can I join?" Neth smiled.
"Huh!? You want to join my Familia!? W-well my Familia is just small a-and... And..." the girl exclaimed in shocked about the man's decision.
-Minutes later-
"And now done." Said by the girl as she placed some tattoo on Neth's back.
"Whew, now to trace it on to this." She said as she put a paper-like thingy on his back.
The paper glow and strange symbols appear. The girl analyzed it before her expression darkened. "It's blank."
"K-kami-sama, its blank?" Asked by the boy before seeing the paper which got his mouth agaped.
"Hey, why are you guys so silent? Also girl, can you move? My back hurts." After he said that, the girl moved and shown him the paper.
'Fascinating.' He then reads it before sitting.

"I think it's the cause of the skill, Hidden One." Said by Neth as he stand up and stretched. 'It's the same as before.' Sadly thought by Neth.
"What sort of skill is that?" Said by the girl.
"When I see the blank paper, informations are suddenly flashed into my mind. The skill Hidden One, means my status can't be seen by all including you." Neth informed.
"Also what are your names?" Neth asked before sitting on a chair nearby.
"I-I'm Hestia, and this is Bell Cranel. The first member of my Familia." Said by the girl as she stands up.
"I see. My name is Nethetaias. Pleasure to become your newest member of your Familia." Neth smiled.
-Next day-
-Pantheon-
"This here is Pantheon. The main building of the Guild." Said by Hestia to Neth.
"Oh. It's the young man yesterday." Said by the receptionist girl as she walks towards them.
"Eina, the two of you met already?" asked by Hestia.
"Yes, we have. So you're a new member of the Hestia Familia?" the girl smiled.
"Yes indeed. Right now, Hestia is touring me all over Orario, and it looks like this is the final stop. To think someone with a heart of gold exists in this city, is something needed to be flattered." Neth smiled as he remarked Hestia which begun to look at him with 'What?' face.
"Also I would like to join the guild." Said by Neth.
"Okay. Just fill out this form." Eina notified.
-Minutes later-
"Here it is." Neth passed the form to Eina.
"You don't seem to possess any weapons at all?" Eina scanned Neth.
"That's because I could create one out of nothing." Neth smirked before a bright light appeared on his right hand and showed a great sword that was formed immediately.
Eina and Hestia have their mouths agaped before Neth closed them by pushing their chins upwards.
"H-how did you do tha- mmph." Hestia was about to shout before Eina putted her hand to Hestia. The two whispered about something and sighed.
"You need to stop doing that. What if someone with ill intention sees you?" Eina informed.
"Then…" Neth begun to smile grimly before releasing an incredibly strong killing intent, "Another Festival of Blood will happen."
The two girls and probably anyone nearby.
"But I prefer not to." Neth immediately said as his killing intent died out and everyone nearby breath with relief as the danger was gone.
"By the way, can I go to the dungeon now?" Neth asked, then the two girls nodded. Neth happily skips towards the entrance of Pantheon before he became a blur.
'That guy was mysterious. I can't even detect the grace that I gave to him.' Hestia thought.
-Dungeon 1st floor-
'What is this thing? A kobold?' thought by Neth as he poked the monster with a stick that he got when he was about to enter the Dungeon and it exploded. He saw a glittering thing where the monster supposed to be. 'Interesting. It could be used for a weapon.' He then putted it on his item box and saw on his 'Menu' or whatever it is, that it is a soul gem. He then turned into blur and killed monsters while looting the spoils for himself.
-Moments later-
-Dungeon 100th floor-
'Man… These guys are weaker than I thought.' Thought by Neth as he saw his inventory through the 'Menu' or whatever, got so many soul gems. Neth leave some and 5 giant gems that he gained from the large monsters on his makeshift pouch to prevent suspicion. 'Hmm… I guess it's time to get to the surface. Teleport.' Neth vanished.
-Ganesha's place-
Hestia and Loki are fighting when a vortex of suction force appeared nearby. Then a flash of light appeared and caused nearby people to cover their eyes.
"Damn it. I got my aim off." Said by the young man that appeared.
Everyone was chatting about what happened, then they saw Hestia near the man.
"What are you doing here!? You've been gone since yesterday!" Yelled by Hestia as she grabbed the man by the ear.
"I'm sorry that you got worried, it's just that I got lost in the Dungeon and since I can't find my way out. I tried to teleport to the 1st floor but got here by mistake." Said by Neth.
"Oh Hestia. Who's that?" Said by a girl with red hair who's flat as a board, no offense people.
"Oh… So you want to know who this guy that didn't greet me at all and was missing for a day." Said by Hestia with tick marks appearing on her head.
"This man is my second Familia member an- wait… Did you just said teleport!?" Said by Hestia before she remembered the word 'teleport' and then begun to shout which attracted everyone's attention.
Freya smiled as she remembered the man resembles the figure that appeared to fall off the top of Babel.
"Yes. Teleport, the magic that allows one to move instantly to another location that the spell user chooses. Also I know a lot of magic." Neth remarked. "By the way Hestia, why are you dressed like that? This is an expensive gathering right? Then allow me to fix this." Neth has his hand glowed and shot an orb of light towards Hestia. Then she was encompassed by the light and her outfit was changed into an incredibly beautiful gown of red and orange that is adorned with gold like lines. "Well since I made a ruckus for today. See you later, Hestia." Neth saluted her before a suction force is felt again, then the light is seen once more before he was vanished in the area.
"W-w-where did you get such a member!?" the girl with red hair that is flat as board said, no offense again people.
"I dunno." Hestia said while having a stupid look before looking at her outfit that has changed. "What the… This ability was the same as that god right?" Hestia asked to Loki.
"Y-yeah." Stuttered by Loki as she was captivated by the beautiful gown that Hestia now adorned.
Hestia would be probably the centre of the talk at later days.
