So welcome back to another chapter.

I don't think I have much to mention this time, but there are a few important notes.

First is about meters and centimeters. I purposefully put them as meder and celch respectively. I thought I saw somewhere that this was how it worked, if it's not then who cares, I'll just make up the units of lengths.

The following things is about time, I will adopt the way we do it in Korea. So the months won't have names like January, February. They will just have numbers, so like the 4th month of this year, kind of like they do in SAO Alicization. If you're wondering there are twelve months per year, each month has thirty days exact.

The third thing is about the harem route. So in the end I've decided on who to include and who not to. For this one I decided to go with thirteen girls

The harem members will be: Alfia, Riveria, Athena, Loki, Revis, Freya, Artemis, Aphrodite, Rose, Shakti, Rethusa, Astraea and Demeter.

Sorry if the others haven't been included, I've seen many that really wanted Aura and Maria. Though I really am not sure how to include them. At any rate if you really want to, I can work on one-shots for any girls that you wish to see paired with Bell. PM or review and I'll see if I can make it.

Other than that I'd like to thank everyone for reading, placing reviews and following the story. I've read all the reviews and it makes me happy that people are enjoying the fanfic.

Now enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 4 – The Rise Of The Argonaut

While Bell had dealt with the village, the battle at the walls of Delna had concluded in a grand victory. The monsters were exterminated, the city defended and losses were reduced to a minimum. There were still those who died, after all it was impossible to assure the safety of everyone present but thankfully there were very few deaths amongst the soldiers of Altena.

Immediately after the battle ended, the people erupted into cheers and shouts. The soldiers shot their fists in the air as Athena held her spear up high, to celebrate their victory over the now gone calamity. Now there was another impending emergency, the village that Bell was dispatched to.

Alfia and Riveria didn't wait and decided to reach him without resting, to which Athena and Minerva offered to accompany them. They thanked them for their help and with the additional company of Ergane and the werewolf twins, the group of nine set off for the village.

When they arrived, they were met with a similarly horrifying scenery to the one that Bell had first seen. It was devastation straight out of a nightmare. Unlike the blood red sky with some occasional red clouds that Bell saw, the sky was dark grey, with black clouds invading the sky, blocking out most of the sky. Instead of burning flames, they saw a completely burnt down land. All life incinerated and turned to ash.

Unlike the living hell that Bell saw, they found a dead hell, as if all had died down, leaving only death and ash as traces of its existence. The earth was scorched and littered with crisped trees and carcasses, animals and people equally devoured by the flames, with no mercy shown to either.

They walked through the land, examining the damage that they could only believe was caused by monsters, as in their eyes only monsters were capable of such devastation. Though that idea and whatever they felt was completely erased when they got to the village.

The people were in the centre, either mourning for someone or thanking a rabbit for his actions, to which the rabbit only waved it off with a blush on his face. Tied to a pole were a group of people, wearing identical cloaks.

.

Bell's POV

I couldn't be more embarrassed as they showered me with praise, but my steam erupted from my head with a poof, as people started calling me a hero. At the same time I couldn't but feel bad, the guilt of not being able to save one still weighed on me. While some thanked me, others mourned. They mourned the loss of their children, sisters and brothers, who were taken away. My failure in saving them caused grief.

My attention was soon turned to a road as I heard multiple pair of feet approaching me. Having gotten off their horses, Zald, Europa, Alfia, Riveria and Athena approached me, while the other four inspected the surroundings.

"What happened here Bell? Such ruination, we only believed monsters were capable of such actions, but we didn't see any magic stones and who are the people tied up behind you?"

I turned to look at the cloaked people then back at Zald. My mouth moved, confirming their, probably worst, theory.

"They are part of an organization called Necro Phantoms. They were burning everything and kidnapped children. There was a cart here, but it escaped, I couldn't save them."

.

Normal POV

They looked at the downcast Bell. He did his best and saved the people from being killed, yet he blamed himself for not being here before, for not stop the destruction, for not stopping this criminal organization and for not saving the children.

He was hopelessly pure in the eyes of the others. Alfia and Riveria knelt down and pulled him into a tight hug, patting his head as he snuggled his face in between their necks. They slightly tightened the embrace as he sniffled.

"Bell, you did your best and managed to save these people from death, you even captured a number of these criminals on top of that. There was nothing more you could have done. You know that you won't always be able to save everyone, sometimes you will have to let go of a few to save the most, you need to learn that the need of the many outweigh the need of the few, but the most important thing that you need to learn is to let go. In this case you could only do so much on your own. However, I'm proud of you, for your noble and selfless actions. Instead of not being able to save two thirds of the villagers, you need to see it as you having saved a third of them."

Alfia and Riveria pulled back from the hug to look Bell in the eyes. Seeing his tears Alfia cupped his face with her hands and wiped the tears away with her thumbs. She gave him a bright smile, flashing him her beautiful heterochromatic eyes. Bell returned her smile hearing her saying that she was proud of him. Bell then turned to Riveria as she picked up where Alfia had stopped.

"You're five Bell. You're small and young. You'll grow stronger over time as long as you work hard. But you shouldn't overexert yourself either. You're allowed to run away, after all, there will be no hero, no one to save others, no one to inspire and light hope in the hearts of others if you perish. Live to fight another day, Bell, as long as you survive, it is your victory as there always a next time. You know Bell, sometimes you need to lose a battle to win a war. You must see the bigger picture and as much as I don't want to say this, what Zeus told you is true. It's fine to fail, it's fine to cry as long as you get back up and stand to the enemy. As long as you never give up and keep holding onto your dreams, you'll always overcome unthinkable odds."

Zald, Europa and Athena watched in silence from afar, letting the two do the talking. Meanwhile Ergane started to vent out her frustrations by hitting the cloaked men, hoping to calm down as well as to get them to spill the beans on some information, though the latter failed miserably causing her frustration to grow as well.

Minerva on the side noticed how none of the attackers had died. She acknowledged the boy's skill as well as his pure nature. Deciding to move onto another subject for Bell, Athena spoke up addressing the villagers.

"The houses are destroyed and you people are not safe here. There are still monsters around so I'd like you to follow our group back to Delna. You'll be provided with sheltering there until the village is repaired. As for the kidnappers, we will do everything we can to catch them."

The villagers nodded and followed the group back to Delna. Soon the group reached the gates where the battle had occurred not too long ago. As they passed by they thanked Bell again, causing Bell to look down, still not feeling like he deserves it. Alfia and Riveria let out a sigh at the rabbit.

.

Over the following days, the nests of the monsters would be annihilated, monster invasions would decrease and the presence of the Necro Phantoms disappeared without a trace, along with the children that they kidnapped. Altena had recovered physically but was devastated mentally. Thousands had died and hundreds of children were taken away. It would take a while to recover from this crippled state.

Every day that passed, the time for the adventurers to return to their home, Orario, inched closer. Bell's training proceeded, more intense than ever before. Seeing his progress they expected Bell level up on their return, if not he would definitely be close to maxing out all his stats, considering all the action Bell faced. As the final day approached so did the match with Ergane, which was scheduled to take place the day before they had to depart.

.

"Bell, I was about to go and walk around in the city, want to come along?"

Bell turned to the voice and saw Europa dressed in casual clothes unlike usual. He nodded enthusiastically and followed Europa out of the palace, filing out like a duckling following his mother. They were walking down a white cobblestone that lead them directly into the main street when Europa struck a conversation.

"How do you feel Bell?"

"I feel great, hard to get sick with a falna, why?"

Europa giggled and shook her head.

"I meant about your match with that lousy elven captain."

Europa was always honest and didn't care in whose presence she was, or how blunt she was. If she didn't like someone, she would outright say it. The only exceptions were these, where she represented the whole of Orario, which forced her to at least keep appearances in front of major figures like Athena unless they insulted her family.

As such, if Ergane were to pop out now and degrade Bell, she would be swiftly met with a punch to the face. After all, what mother would sit still when her child was insulted right in front of her? She honestly never liked the elf. Long before Ergane met Bell when she thirsted after Alfia and Riveria and was always a hair's breadth away from killing her on the spot.

In Orario, she was called the Empress but another epithet that she was given for her personality was Rose she was beautiful, patient and extremely kind, causing many to wonder how she was in the Hera Familia, since Hera was always snobby and arrogant, though that did drastically change ever since Bell was born. Many thanked Bell for that, as Hera tended to get unsupportable.

However, like all roses, she had thorns. If you did manage to make Europa mad, then that was the end of the line for you. She had great self-control and a lot of patience, despite the patience and kindness, her ire was the most terrifying thing ever. From this, the saying: 'beware the fury of a patient person' was born.

This also went for Maxim. Being the captains of the two greatest Familias, which had the two worst patron Gods, a pervert God and a haughty Goddess, was extremely taxing and required great patience. However, everyone has limits and after the first time that Europa and Maxim got mad, no one dared to cross them or attempt to make them mad in any way ever again. Seriously, who in their right mind would cross someone who nearly took the whole of Babel tower down with one punch?

Luckily for the two captains, the birth of Bell seemed to calm down the Gods, making them a lot more docile, though Zeus still had its fair share of attempts at pulling off stunts which would get him killed. Thankfully even those decreased by nearly fifty percent with the presence of Bell. Truly a godsend in the eyes of the others.

Bell looked at the sky, hearing Europa talk about the match that he had tomorrow.

"Well, I'm not sure about facing a level three, but I can't let Alfia and Riveria down no matter what! I must and will win!"

Bell's voice brimmed with confidence and his eyes had fiery passion as his soul flared. A shame Freya missed this, she'd be head over heels for Bell. This caused Europa to giggle again as she could only imagine the women's reactions if they were to hear that.

"That's good Bell. Make sure you whoop that scoundrel. Honestly, she should learn her place, perhaps a pride damaging defeat will make her understand. But … you're quite determined mister hero."

Bell pouted as Europa teased the child. They explored the city as Bell window shopped with an excited face, causing Europa to giggle at the cute little rabbit as she followed close behind. She always enjoyed seeing Bell smile, her attention then turned to the clocktower. As she looked at the clock, she noticed that it was already thirty past noon.

"You hungry Bell?"

As if to answer for him, his stomach growled ferociously making Europa giggle like crazy. So the two searched for a place to eat. They kept walking down the expansive street and soon their attention was turned to a food stall. Curiously, the two decided to see what kind of food they served.

They approached the stand, as a rich and enticing scent reached their noses. The stand had a sign that had 'gyros' written on it. Not knowing what it was, Europa and Bell both ordered one, while noticing the female owner blushing, gawking at the sight of Europa, though she promptly ignored the look.

Soon they received their orders and headed for the closest bench. Sitting down they looked at the food in their hand and unwrapped the paper around it. The contents of the gyros were wrapped in a soft white bread, which they later learnt it was called pita. Inside was mixture of grilled pork, chicken, tomatoes, onions and a tasty white sauce called tzatziki.

Europa noted that Bell's ability to quickly learn like Alfia wasn't only restricted to combat oriented themes. They sank their teeth into the wrap and enjoyed the rich meaty flavour of the food. Bell wolfed down the wrap and sighed in joy.

"Are you stuffed?"

Bell nodded as Europa ruffled his hair. The two then proceeded to explore the massive city. The streets were now bustling with people, losing Bell would be easy so she took his hand. Others looked as the beautiful display of son and mother walking together.

Just thirty minutes in, Bell's attention was drawn to a bookstore. Following Bell, Europa entered the bookstore, inside, the building was made of oak wood and dozens of shelves, filled with book covered the entirety of the room with the only other furniture being a counter near the entrance.

Europa observed as Bell examined the books looking for, most probably, a heroic tale. He never got tired of reading the heroics of the people that lived in the age of heroes. Similarly, Europa never got tired of seeing Bell read those books or reading them for him as he always reacted with his typical bright and cute smiles that she found endearing and relaxing.

While she was lost in thought, Bell had found a book and came up to Europa. Looking down she read the cover: Odyssey. Bell had skimmed through the first few pages and asked a woman passing by if she knew what this story was about. The woman nodded and told him that it was the tale of a long adventurous journey. It followed Odysseus, as he returned home from a War.

After Athena had called him Odysseus and having heard that he was a hero, Bell had instantly gotten interested and thanked the woman with a cute and warm smile that melted the heart of the woman. Bell left the woman dazed as he returned to Europa, asking to buy the book, which obviously Europa complied to seeing his excitement.

While exiting Europa had took notice of the dazed woman and started wondering what was more effective and dangerous, a divine charm or Bell's smile. Freya often had no shame in admitting that Bell's smile was probably more potent than any divine charm from any Goddess of Beauty. Many found themselves agreeing with the statement.

"Do you want me to read it to you, Bell?"

Bell looked up twinkling eyes and nodded. The two returned to the palace and followed a path that led them to the top of the palace and eventually reached a walled off ledge. Their current position was situated above the throne room. The ledge protruded like a hanging bridge over the water. The towering palace was surrounded by the city on three sides and by the sea on one and the ledge hovered the sea, at nearly a hundred meders of height from the sea level. At the end of the ledge resided a massive tree.

The tree was an ancient Godly tree that first sprouted before the age of the Gods started. It was similar to the sacred trees of the elves. It's said that it was a gift that fell from heaven to offer prosperity to the old kingdom of Altena during its moment of crisis.

The tree had been named Gigas Adonis Xedar. It sat there on the ledge basking in the sun, it's leaves rustling freely as the breeze swept through. Truly a magical place, which was renowned world-wide.

(A/N: Hopefully you get the reference but if you don't let me explain. The Adonis is an actual tree in Greece, oldest in Europe. The Gigas Cedar, not typo, is from SAO Alicization. Just thought that Xedar sounded cooler.)

Why had the two bothered coming all the way up here? The answer is because it's tradition. At least to Bell is. He would always read heroic tales in his bed or under the shadow of a tree out in the open. Obviously, the tree was always the preferred choice. Even Europa felt like all her tension left her and she could finally relax as she sat under the tree with Bell on her lap. She took the book in her hand and started narrating. Bell listened enraptured by the tale of Odysseus' voyage to return home.

The tale took place shortly after the first Gods descended to Gekai. It follows Odysseus King of a strong island based nation called Itaka. It focused on the return voyage of this hero after he, together with his allies, fought in a war that lasted ten years and eventually won but at a great cost. His return however was delayed as this hero had angered God Poseidon, sovereign of the sea. In that moment Bell remembered Zeus telling him that one of his brothers, a sea God, held a grudge against a mortal, proof of the reality of this story.

Meanwhile, his wife was hoarded by suitors who rudely invaded his abode, all wanting to make claims to the kingdom. Odysseus had gained Athena's support, so she tried to help by encouraging the son of the King to give people reason to believe that he was still alive, so that he could stall for time. Thanks to Athena, Zeus and Hermes also aided him once.

The long tale told about the twenty years that Odysseus spent trying to return to his home. His escape from a Goddess, his encounters with the sirens, how he faced a cyclops, the Laestrygonians and many more terrifying monsters such as Charybdis and Scylla, titans in the eyes of mortals, but dwarfed in comparison to the Leviathan, a being that contested the other sea Gods.

Bell was horrified at how Odysseus had set out with twelve ships and six hundred men, but by the time he arrived back home, he was the sole survivor. Bell was awed by his bravery, spirit, will, perseverance and his loyalty. He was amazed by his ingenuity and by his tactics, such as when he tricked Polyphemus after he blinded him.

He was amazed by his skill as well. As when he returned home he used his bow, said to be usable by only him, to demonstrate his skill, shooting a target through a dozen axe heads. He then reveals himself and saves his kingdom, people and wife. Bell was impressed by the wife's loyalty towards her husband as she never lost hope, always waiting for the day of his return, which she knew would come.

Like the tale of Epimetheus, it was a tragic adventure, but unlike the Olympian hero, he was not a failure, he didn't fail at the end. Odysseus lost everything along the way, but managed to save what was most important to him in the end. This was the epitome of what made a hero in Bell's mind.

Like Zeus said, it's fine to despair and wail as long as one pushes forward. Odysseus was patient and for twenty years he struggled to get home to his beloved. A tale that moved Bell and made him reflect.

(A/N: Obviously very brief summary and a little tweaking done to the story, since in Danmachi the heroes of old, though he doesn't exactly count since it was in the age of Gods, don't kill. Originally, in the end Odysseus killed all 108 suitors.)

Whilst deep in thought, Bell started to sway. The day had tired him out and soon he fell asleep in Europa's arms. The mother smiled happily as she sat there patting is head for a couple of minutes before gently picking him up and heading back inside. The sun was starting to set as Europa made her way into the palace, meeting Alfia and Riveria.

Alfia and Riveria looked as Bell slept soundly nestling his face in Europa's neck and a grin grew on their faces.

"Oh dear, make way for mama~"

The two snickered, but Europa didn't mind.

"I'm fine with that, I am his mother, since you know Meteria entrusted him to me because two women loved him differently from how they should be loving him. Meteria literally considered you two enamoured teens irresponsible. Maybe I should tell Loki, Finn and Gareth about the stunts you've pulled off here in Altena, should I, Riveria~?"

The two exploded in a blushing mess as Europa quipped back. Seeing this she stated giggling, while the two puffed their cheeks and turned their head away with a loud hmph. Though Riveria did beg Europa not to tell them.

"Don't start a war that you can't win. *wink*"

Europa handed the sleeping Bell to Alfia who returned to their room and laid Bell in between them. Alfia caressed Bell's face, moving away the white locks that covered his face. Meanwhile, Riveria snuggled her face into his neck, patting his head. The two slowly fell asleep hugging the rabbit.

.

Bell woke up to the usual scene of Alfia's bountiful chest pressed in his face. For once though, he was grateful as it helped him calm down and release his tension. Bell was very nervous as the match against Ergane was today.

Whilst trapped Bell thought back at everything that had happened in the last month. He had seen a new city that was breath taking. He met new people, a Goddess. He was given access to a library filled with knowledge that Bell memorised. He was trained by Alfia and Riveria in the use concurrent chanting, he was trained by Athena, with whom he learnt about wisdom, tactic and strategy. She also refined his technique with the spear while Europa and Zald made sure that he wasn't getting sloppy, by sparring with him.

Then came the real dangers of this trip. Dungeon monsters found on the surface invading and razing villages, an irregular monster leader, an evil organization and the kidnapping of the children. The last one still lingered in his head. He saw how none of the villagers blamed him, they were grateful even if he wasn't able to save them.

He still saw the hopeful green eyes of the red haired girl as she was taken away. It reminded him that he was weak, naïve and inexperienced. Though he vowed to find them one day. Until then he'd find ways to grow stronger and stronger.

Alfia then began to stir, hugging Bell's head tightly with her chest. She yawned, opening her eyes as she looked down at Bell who was buried in her chest. She giggled and released him from the embrace as she stretched her arms. Riveria had also woke up and started caressing his face.

"Good morning Bell~"

"Good morning!"

Bell jumped out of the bed much to the discomfort of the two ladies. He went to the bathroom and started cleaning himself up. The two women groaned at the absence of the bunny, but soon followed him and within minutes the three were walking to the dining hall. They entered and saw that everyone was present except for Ergane.

"Ergane is training, said she couldn't lose to the rabbit. She was quite riled up. Today will be quite the match won't it?"

Athena spoke up as Bell sat down.

"Of course, Bell will be absolutely smashing Ergane."

Europa expressed her determined thoughts.

"I do hope so."

Everyone looked at Athena in shock.

"My captain needs to learn to stop being so hot-headed, and if she doesn't learn through words, she'll have to learn through action and humiliation. I hope you can teach her that Bell."

Bell wasn't quite following this time but nodded, nonetheless. Everyone turned to Athena and asked what she meant, but simply said that she'd explain later. Bell quickly wolfed down his breakfast and as soon as he was done, the others ushered him out to Alfia's and Riveria's room to get ready.

.

In the training yard of the palace Bell and Ergane stood at a few meders of distance, facing each other. Other than the adventurers and the Goddess, the whole of the Athena Familia had gathered around the backyard to watch the fight.

Many decided to bet, there those who bet on the captain out of pride and those who bet on the bunny because he was cute and had witnessed him fight. Alfia, Europa, Zald and Riveria had also bet a lot on Bell. 'Easy money' was their thought. Why not make a quick earning while they could?

Ergane brought out her spear, Bell also decided to use his spear to see how much he had gotten better with Athena teaching him. Ergane though saw this as a challenge and as him mocking her. He dared to challenge her with the weapon of his Goddess and the weapon that she had trained and mastered over countless years. Bell also was learning to use how to use concurrent chanting.

If she were to beat him by using concurrent chanting herself then it would be even more humiliating than just losing. He had started learning just short of a month ago, there was no way he could even remotely use it, though it would be a gamble. Even she couldn't use it perfectly and her general combat ability would go down, but it was powerful. A spell that summoned wind blades to cut her opponent down.

'But it's fine right? He's a fresh level two and I'm a mid level three."

She smiled in glee at the thought of humiliating the boy and laying her hands on Alfia and the beloved high elf princess. She couldn't care less about what King Larfal would think.

Bell on his side was thinking about what Athena said. In the end he decided to take what Athena said to the letter and defeat her in the most humiliating way, though he did feel sorry for doing this.

"Ready yourselves."

Athena walked up as she was going to referee the match.

"The rules of the match are simple: everything is allowed, any weapons, skills and magic. The match will be considered over when one of the two parties admits defeat or is knocked out. With that let the match start!"

Bell immediately started charging Argonaut whilst dashing forward. Ergane also dashed forward aggressively, the two met each other with the swing of their spears causing sparks to fly. Ergane had blinked the instant the two spears clashed and opened her eyes to see the two were at a meder's distance.

She smirked but it soon turned into dismayed frown as she glanced down and realised something of shocking. It wasn't Bell that had been pushed back, but her. The ground had two deep trails that lead to her feet, proving that she had been forced to skid back.

'That's impossible! He overpowered me?!'

Bell charged forward, swinging from left to right and the shafts of the spears met each other as the elf blocked the hit, locking Bell and Ergane in place. Bell suddenly released all force and moved the spear downwards. Ergane stumbled forward before feeling an immeasurable pain enveloping her.

Bell swung the spear back towards her as she stumbled forward. The shaft connected to her stomach and sent her flying back, knocking the air out of her. Ergane's vision grew hazy, much to the rage of Ergane. The idea that she was overpowered, outsmarted and beat in front of the Familia completely broke her. She was being bested in every way and a single hit and nearly knocked her out.

However, the hit had been rendered much more powerful by the use of Argonaut, that Bell was silently charging.

.

From the side-lines the others watched in amazement as the captain fell apart nearly instantly.

"How unsightly, this is why I'm hoping she understands."

The four adventurers turned to her.

"She is blinded by anger and arrogance towards men, mostly those that deny her of what she wants. I don't blame her for feeling that way, after all, I'm the one who taught her that. However, it is unwomanly and she needs how to place a lid on it. She needs limit and restrain herself. More than all, she needs to understand when she is wrong and when she is right."

Zald turned back to the fight, after Bell flung her back, down to her kness.

"How unusual to hear that from you Athena-sama."

She giggled,

"true, I was much like her once. No, I was worse. Did you notice when this stopped?"

Zald turned back to Athena with a grin.

"When the Zeus Familia first helped you a decade ago or so."

She nodded,

"what do you reckon has changed."

"Well, you clearly still don't like me, but I haven't seen you glare or scoff at me yet. Just a few indignant looks. Not even anything of insulting."

Athena sighed,

"yes, you're still a man in my eyes, which warrants my caution. Mostly after I think about that damned Hermes. I'd burn him alive any day of the week. However, I came to realize that I can't immediately come to hate everything. That was wrong, mostly after your Familia greatly helped mine. Now Zeus himself is someone worthy of only scorn and damnation, much like the other male Gods, but I can't go blaming his children or any mortal child for their acts. Heh, even us everlasting Gods can change. I remember I used to be so filled with arrogance and anger. Sure is nice to be able to smile freely again and I want the same for Ergane. I don't want her to let get corrupted. However, I am not a great example since I myself came out of this horrid state not too long ago."

.

Back to the fight, Bell had dropped the spear to the ground and pulled out the mithril dagger. Eyeing Ergane he started chanting,

"I call upon the infinite sky."

Ergane looked wide eyed at Bell. She summoned all her strength and charged at him, she couldn't allow him to complete his spell. By the time she reached him, Bell had already completed the second verse.

As she arrived within range, she swung her spear overhead, which clashed with the dagger. Bell then jumped back and started dodging. Then she realized that Bell was still chanting having completed the third verse. Yet as he dodged and parried nothing changed. His speed, strength and dexterity seemed to remain constant even if he had to concentrate on the spell.

She didn't even expect him to use concurrent chanting in the first place, now he revealed that he had learnt concurrent chanting in just a month and could use it masterfully, without hindering his abilities at all. It started to irk her just as much as it dawned on her, she was insignificantly weaker and stood no chance against the bunny before her, even if she was a level higher than him.

"Let the lightnings scorch the sea."

Bell had finished the chant as he charged at Ergane with the dagger. Bell jumped and performed a sideward three sixty, using the momentum of the spin to swing as hard as he could. Ergane blocked the attack but was forced down to her knees. Though this was all according to Bell's plan as he dropped the dagger and backed off looking at the elf with a smile.

Ergane was confused but looked back at the dagger. The blade was stuck in the ground but it shone white, with winds swirling around it. Ergane understood what it meant and since she had no chance to react she accepted her defeat. The dagger glowed radiantly as the magic was unleashed. Bell had held back on the mind usage, strength of the spell as well as both the charge and power of his skill.

The spell was still a devastating one, erupting into three tornadoes that wildly thrashed the elf around, zapping her with lightning before exploding and throwing her into the wall with extreme force, leaving her knocked out under the rubble.

"The match is over."

Several members snapped out of shock and went to check on the passed out captain. While Athena looked with surprise. Alfia and Riveria, who were fangirling Bell, jumped and cheered for 'their' Bell. Athena soon started to giggle.

"Wow, Bell railed my elven captain."

"Wording Kami Athena. Lest we want to excite Zeus to the point of encouraging him teach worse things to Bell."

She simply giggled at Zald's concern, looking at the bunny, who had a neutral expression though it was probably more confusion than anything else.

.

The rest of the day went as normal, the dungeon monsters had been completely eradicated, leaving only the few surface monsters. After the completely one-sided beat up Ergane started respecting Bell, as she started seeing him as a warrior. Kind of funny to imagine since Bell is a five year old bunny.

Meanwhile, the adventurers kind of saw the image of Ottar imprinted over Ergane every time she was around Bell. Her sudden and complete change was as if a flip within the elf's head was flicked on. So much that some wondered if Bell's spell made her hit her head against the wall too hard. Though no one was displeased with her sudden change, so no one raised their concerns about it.

The rest of the evening was spent partying and celebrating their victory over the monsters. As night approached, the festivities came to a conclusion, with most people being drunk except for Zald, who being 'drinking warrior' with Gareth, has built a great tolerance to alcohol.

Seeing the drunk Alfia, and surprisingly even Riveria, Zald decided to take Bell back to his own room, fearing that they might do or say something that they might regret later in the future. The night that soon arrived passed by as quickly as it came, signaling the start of another day.

Now, the Athena Familia stood at the gate of the palace along their patron Goddess, thanking the adventurers and bidding them goodbye. Athena tried to offer Bell a position in Altena once more, but as expected her kindly refused.

"I wished for you to stay, alas it seems like my offers won't sway your mind. If anything happens, know that you're always welcome here my Odysseus."

Bell gave her a bright smile and thanked her for her kindness. He then turned to Ergane as she approached the bunny. She gave him a small bow before speaking.

"It is unfortunate to see you go, but as Kami Athena said, you're always welcome here Bell. My apologies once again for my behavior. It seems it took a smashing defeat by you, in order for me to realize my Goddesses' wish. For that I thank you. I hope I can face in you in a sparring match again in the future."

Bell nodded again, slightly surprised to see her smile for the first time since arriving in Delna.

"Of course, I will look forward to it as well!"

Athena decided to give him a last farewell and gently pecked him on the cheeks, making him blush. Zald and Europa glanced over at Alfia and Riveria to see them pout, but not taking any action.

"Ho, you're letting her?"

The two turned to Europa with a sigh.

"Out of respect for her change and kindness. Just this once."

Europa giggled while Zald stared at Alfia's bemusing but not unwelcome statement. With their luggage on board and their goodbyes given, they boarded the carriages that took them to a ship that headed to Melen.

Their trip back to Orario was plain, with nothing out of the ordinary happening except for the one time where Bell went to the bathroom and walked in on a bent over naked Alfia and Riveria, who gave him a lovely view of their lower body. Bell turned into a tomato as he slammed the door close and returned to his room, while Alfia and Riveria giggled at his cute reaction, not minding the fact that he saw them naked.

.

By sundown they had arrived back in Orario. Riveria thanked them for their help and split off from the group, though not before giving Bell a kiss on the cheek. Upon arrival at the gates of the Olympus manor, they were swarmed by Zeus, Hera and their fellow Familia members.

"Welcome back!"

"Kyaa! Bell-kun!"

As soon as they greeted Alfia, Europa and Bell, all of the Hera members immediately swarmed Bell, hugging him and patting his head, expressing how much he was missed. Bell only smiled with a blush as he got cuddled and straddled. Though Zeus soon came to the rescue, offering something that everybody was curious for him to have.

"Alight Bell! Let's update your falna!"

Bell looked excitedly at Zeus, while the three that had been on the journey were curious what changes the recent journey would bring to him. A skill, a magic spell, a large boost, a level up? With Bell, the possibilities were infinite.

"Oh Bell is gettin' an update?"

"Haven't seen you for quite a few months, have I now?"

The two voices caught Bell's interest as he immediately recognized them. His head whipped around and he soon found himself staring at a large man with blonde hair and brown eyes, slightly smaller in build compared to Zald, and an average in size woman with raven hair and purple eyes. Bell's lit up.

"Uncle Flint, Aunt Anastasia! Where have you been?"

"We were on a mission outside of Orario. Surprised it took several months. Then we come back just to hear that the day before we arrived you departed for a quest outside of Orario too, a month long at that."

"Hehe, it's nice to see you back."

The two vice-captains chuckled and ruffled his hair, before Anastasia picked him up in her arms. Following Zeus to his room, Bell then laid down on the bed as Zeus started updating his status. Zeus' eyes went wide eyes, as he went through Bell's memories of the battle against the monsters, the fomoire and against Ergane.

Zeus went wide eyed and opened his mouth only to close it as no words came out. He has long since given up on shouting his surprise and shock. Though it was noticed by the others. Zald sighed and raised his hand as Zeus turned to him.

"We'll explain later about what happened in Altena. For now let's see Bell's progress."

The God nodded and proceeded with the update, before gasping again. His surprise slowly turned into a gentle smile.

'Truly full of surprises.'

The development of a new magic spell came as a surprise to everyone, though at the same time as they looked at Bell's face innocently smiling, it also came as a casual occurrence. His stats were completely maxed out, by Bell's standards of maxed out. Now they just needed to find a suitable challenge.

Bell was given the status sheet, his excitement growing as he read the new magic spell and the proximity of his next level up. Meanwhile, Zeus and the others went over the report regarding their stay in Altena.

"An evil organization, smuggled out dungeon monsters, possibly a second entrance to the dungeon, enhanced monsters and kidnapping of children. This is quite a lot to take in, though I have to be honest. I'm surprised that Bell took care of most of that."

Maxim spoke out loud while he reflected over the report.

"I'm more surprised that you let all of that happen, Alfia."

Said girl looked at Anastasia and shrugged. Zeus then turned to Bell.

"Alright Bell. Since it's already late today, tomorrow Maxim, Alfia and Zald will accompany you to the dungeon to allow you to level up. The others will help me investigate this Necro Phantom organization. Considering that they used dungeon monsters, they must have a base established here in Orario."

They all nodded before returning to their respective home's or rooms. This time though Alfia had no excuse to share a bed with Bell, causing her to pout as she returned to her own room with a defeated look. Behind her the captain and vice-captain giggled at her reaction as they made their way back to the Basilea manor, home of the Hera Familia, only Alfia had a room in the Olympus manor.

.

Dawn had just arrived and Bell was now in the street walking towards the tower of Babel. Close behind him Maxim, Zald and Alfia followed him. Alfia smiled, while Zald and Maxim released tired yawns.

"Do we have to go so early in the morning?"

Maxim turned to Zald.

"He's just excited, he hasn't been in the dungeon in a month, though he did face dungeon monsters. Besides, he might level up today. No, he will, marking the fastest level three in history."

"That's true enough."

Maxim chuckled at the sight of the excited bunny who was raring to go. Bell then turned to them.

"Uncle Zald, let's go down to the eighteenth floor. I'll tear some minotaurus' apart while at it!"

Alfia and Zald forced a failing smile, the corners twitching a little, threatening to give out. Maxim on the side sighed. Bell was strong and clever, very clever. It's just that due to his unusual strength, childhood and being a battle junky, he lacked some serious common sense when it came to battle and what is normal and what is not.

In Bell's eyes most of what he did was rather normal, though when the others heard this, they just fainted from shock or just stared deadpanned unable to express their emotions. Maxim wondered what crazy stunts Bell would pull this time, though he had to recognize that most of that was caused by himself in the first place.

'I should have taught him that before.'

Not even twenty minutes in and as Bell was running down the seventh floor, he stopped. A desperate shriek came down the hallway to his right.

"Well Bell it se-"

Zald didn't finish as Bell had left them behind already running to the rescue of the person who originated the shriek.

"Oy, Bell wa- and there he goes. We're just a few minutes in and our bunny hero is already at it."

Maxim talked with a wide grin. He simply glanced at the other two and with a nod they all agreed to follow the fool. They reached the end of the corridor that led the way into a large room. In the room a party of rookies were surrounded, or were surrounded, by a swarm of killer ants.

They were healing each other whilst looking in awe as a bunny smaller than the ants cleaved through the monsters effortlessly. Having finished, the party approached the bunny and thanked him for the rescue before recognizing Bell and the other Zeus and Hera Familia, which sent them short-circuiting.

The group was rather large and had nine members. All the members were living their dream, either admiring Alfia's beauty, the cute rabbit or staring in awe at the authority and imposing figure that Zald and Maxim emanated.

"Can you guys walk?"

The first to speak was the rabbit.

"Ah, y-yes. T-thank you for your help! We can handle ourselves now."

Bell nodded and proceeded down to the eighteenth floor like he had originally planned. Along the way down Bell rescued any party that asked help. The day turned from dungeon crawling to search and rescue. Though Bell and the accompanying adventurers noticed that there were many more groups of rookies or solo adventurers that needed help than usual.

Ever since he hit level two, Bell made it a routine to help out adventurers in need. Anyone who was an adventurer knew better than doing something that could be regarded as bad unless they wanted to be hunted down by the city, the Zeus and Hera Familia, but most notably, what people found scarier than anything, was the rage of three particular women.

Soon the group of four reached the seventeenth floor. Surprisingly, or not at this point, they were met with a group of adventurers facing the Goliath, but things had quite obviously headed south and seemed to be in desperate need of help. Once again a selfless rabbit jumped in ready to face the giant floor boss.

"Now Bell wait a mi-"

Alfia was raising her hand to try and grab Bell, but Maxim waved in front of her, stopping her.

"No, this might actually be exactly what we need for Bell right now."

Alfia wanted to protest but thinking back on it, there was probably nothing on the next few floors that could make him level up, to the possible exception of the green dragons on floor twenty four. Even then, they doubted that unless the dragon was an enhanced version, it would be strong enough to make Bell level up.

"Isn't that Shakti?"

Alfia turned to Zald then back to the battlefield.

"It seems like it's a party of Ganesha Familia members. Let's get them out so that Bell can fight without having to protect them."

They all agreed and headed down to the party of adventurers. Right now, the Ganesha Familia was an up and coming Familia with three level threes and a handful of level twos and ones. It was similar to Loki and Freya in power right now.

Alfia, Zald and Maxim had pulled out all the adventurers away from the fight when red haired girl went up to them.

"S-silence-sama,"

Alfia turned to the red haired amazoness.

"please help Shakti onee-sama!"

Alfia then noticed that Shakti wasn't amongst them, turning back to the Goliath she spotted her on the other side of the monster rex. She on the ground, her leg was bleeding and was obvious that she couldn't move. The Goliath was about to bring it's fists down on the injured Shakti, though Alfia wasn't worried, after all there was a bunny that had charged in to fight the Goliath, she had faith in his strength.

"Onee-sama!"

Before the fists could smash the blue haired adventurer, a white streak of light flashed by, grabbing Shakti. It was a bit awkward to see a tiny five year old carrying a fully grown twenty three year old woman, though he could only manage thanks to the enhanced strength granted to him by the falna.

Bell landed next to Alfia with Shakti in his arms before depositing her down and unsheathing his katana. This time he wanted to test his other spell, he wouldn't use Lord of the Divum this time. The end goal was to finish the floor boss by using a combination of Fulgurand a full charge Argonaut enhanced strike.

Shakti herself was still dazed, though a slight blush was present at the thought of being princess carried by Bell. Seeing someone standing next to her, she then noticed the presence of Alfia. Looking at her, she saw that standing next to Alfia were Maxim and Zald. But if they were here, who was fighting the Goliath? She turned back to the towering monster, her eyes widening in shock as she watched a lone rabbit charging straight at the monster.

She as a level three could hardly fight that monster alone. It was meant to be a challenge for a party. Defeating it alone was nearly impossible. Then there was the fact that Bell was only level two. She didn't know how far into level two he was, but considering that Bell levelled up in only five months, he should be nearly at the top of level two.

'But still how is a level two supposed to beat that monster?!'

Shakti looked at Alfia and pulled her hand, gaining her attention.

"Ah, before you say anything, it was Maxim's idea to have Bell face the Goliath. I'm only going through with it because Bell also wants to face this challenge himself."

Shakti was blown away by the information given to her. Bell was really going to face the Goliath alone and it seems like the Hera and Zeus executives are confident in his ability to win against the Goliath. Having nothing that she could do, she just sat there and watched Bell meet the Goliath head on.

.

Bell's POV

Having left Shakti with Alfia and the others, I rushed back towards the Goliath with my katana at the ready by my side. The giant reared it's fists, aiming to squash me flat with its brute strength, not that I'd just stand still for him to hit me.

As the fists came down, I jumped off to the side going down into a barrel roll avoiding the impact while also using my sword to block the shards of rock flying towards me with one swipe. The Goliath though didn't waste time as it started dragging it's arm towards me, in an attempt to hit me with a wide swipe of its massive arm.

My mind was sharpened by the constant training that I had received by many different teachers from all over Gekai. Yet again I couldn't help but feel the tingling feeling of excitement in my back. The thrill of going on an adventure, facing an opponent stronger than you, the feeling of getting stronger.

Alfia and uncle Zald always refer to me as a battle junky, which might be true, but I prefer to see myself as someone chasing a dream. One which requires for me to become stronger no matter what. I wish to become someone of dependable, someone that they can rely on. To fulfil both my God's desire and my family's wish, to make them proud. I fight for that belief, which is why I can never allow myself to fall.

I picked up the pace again and started running, tilting my body back to slide right below the arm as it continued smashing into the crystalline surface of the Great Wall of Sorrow. I got back up and kept running, while passing underneath it I slashed at its ankles, reminding myself of all the training in the Far East.

I slashed leaving large gashes across it's thick hide. Having slashed at its ankles, the Goliath lost the ability to sustain its weight and fell down to its knees. I ran back towards the front and relentlessly assaulted its hands and face, whilst starting to load Argonaut.

My mind and body acted separately as my body focused on fighting, while my mind focused only on the images of the hero Argonaut, Albert and the countless other heroes I've read about in fairy tales. My body glowed white as blue particles surrounded me.

I imagined all the people dear to me, Zeus, Alfia, Riveria and the others. Their faces appeared in my mind, fuelling my skill, I imagined myself, saving people and helping them like the heroes I picture would. I imagine my goal, to beat the opponent ahead of me with everything I got, to prove that if even a little, I grew stronger than ever before.

I smiled at the intensity of the fight, I wasn't sure, but I could have sworn the Goliath smirked for a second, kind of reminding me of the minotaurus I killed before levelling up. Many would consider me crazy, a five year old bunny looking battle junky, enjoying the exhilarating moments of a battle to the death. What can I say, it just has this satisfying feeling that I am getting stronger, it gives me the feeling like I'm inching closer to my goal.

.

Normal POV

The others watched as Bell launched himself at the monster, avoiding it's hands, trying to swat him. Slashing at its ankles to down the beast and reduce the advantage it had over him. They observed how he attacked ferociously yet with extreme control and precision. He was bringing out the nature of his fighting style as he fluently flowed in between the attacks, counter attacking with extreme efficiency.

Then the centre of his body started faintly glowing white, as if his soul was at the centre of his body and was now visible to the others, the light slowly grew stronger and bigger. It went from the small light to finally making the whole body glow and shine a candid white light. Around him, blue and white particles circled and danced around like they had a consciousness of their own.

However, there was one notable difference, a sound. A bell, how ironic. Like the light it grew with time, clearly telling people that the skill was charging, that the longer it charged the stronger the effect. It started as an inaudible tinkle, that grew to a chime to a now church bell. It was so loud that the sound reverberated across the dungeon, they wouldn't be surprised if they could hear it back on the surface. It was a sound that instilled hope, that signified victory and that glorified the arrival of a hero. A sound that no one had ever heard of before and that many desired and waited a long time for it come.

Shakti and the other present adventurers witnessed the splendour of Bell's power for the first time and were blown away, figuratively. Shakti's mouth hanged open in an 'o' shape. She then heard Alfia mutter, 'limit off.' Peaking her curiosity.

"Umm, Alfia? What is limit off?"

The woman turned to Shakti before looking back at Bell.

"I'm not sure, since I've never seen it happen, it has only been recorded a handful of times, but according to the Guild and the Gods, it is a temporary state in which surrounding conditions, along with the emotions of the user overload the falna and allow to bring the true power of the user exponentially increasing the power of a skill."

(A/N: The explanation I gave is practically the one I was given by the terminology page of the fandom, don't question me how it works cause I don't know.)

"We'll be witnessing Bell's power on a scale that no one has ever seen. Considering previous experiences, he will display power that few first class adventurers can even possibly imagine of remotely achieving."

The statement cause a shut down of all the adventurer's brains. She made it sound like he was about to blow half of the entire room, which was nearly ten meders tall and thirty wide. Though such expectations wouldn't be let down, after all its Bell.

Bell took one wrong step and was sent flying across the room like a dart, crashing into a wall. Everyone was shocked and wondered if Bell was alive, Shakti herself was concerned before turning to Alfia and seeing that she too desperately wanted to jump in but was using every ounce of her self-control to just stand. However, if she was still here that meant that Bell was good enough to fight.

As that was said Bell jumped into the action, his mastery over concurrent chanting showing as he never let go of the charge even as he received a bone breaking attack straight to his chest, nor did the charging stop. However, he'd have to avoid that from happening again, one was all he could take. A second one would cause him to lose the charge, putting him out of the fight, as charging the skill again was out of the question.

As three minutes passed by, the sound stopped increasing and the light stopped growing in intensity, though it was a breath taking sight. Everyone laid their eyes on the white glowing Bell, looking in awe as if he was an angel.

Bell felt the skill stopping the drain on his stamina and mind signifying that it's maximum charge has been reached. Bell decided to end this battle and activated his lightning enchantment spell, that coated his body. He then cut the Goliath's eyes, before slashing at the wrists of the monsters.

With the monster immobilized and blind, Bell took the chance to run to the left, back towards the sixteenth floor. Reaching the rocky surface, Bell started running up the wall until he was at a height greater than that of the Goliath.

As he ran up, Bell focused his skill and spell, combining Argonaut and Fulgur and coating his blade with it. Once he reached a height which was satisfying to him, Bell pivoted and launched like an arrow towards the side of the Goliath, as he was halfway to the Goliath, Bell slashed with all his might.

Everyone in the room was blinded as the slash glowed with the intensity of a million stars, forcing everyone to turn away and shield their eyes with their hands. A loud explosion rang through the room, the force behind the shockwave knocked everyone down to their butts except for the first class adventurers.

Alfia removed the hand shielding her eyes and was left shocked, even she didn't expect such massive destruction. The others soon followed and were left agape, they had been smacked in the face by surprise.

Where the Goliath was, now remained only ash, a magic stone and a tooth. Where Bell had pointed the sword, the ground and the wall were scorched. The attack from Bell had melted nearly ten meders into the rock. The slash had melted all the way from the point he was hovering over at to the ceiling, making the slash nearly twenty meders long and five wide. It was as if a beam of light directly from Tenkai had shone in the path of the now sizzling rock.

On the edges of the melted rocks were streaks of burn marks, likely due to the enhanced lightning enchantment. The ground and the walls within five meders had shattered by the pure force behind the explosion. If you were to measure the volume of the room now and before, it was likely that it had twice the volume of before.

Maxim stared at the melted rock and followed from the point that the scorch mark started all the way to the ceiling where it ended. Maxim, a level seven adventurer, shivered at the thought of being on the receiving end of that attack. Even with his status, his only option in front of an attack such as that one was to avoid it. There was no way to stop it, block it or take it head on. It was the incarnation of power and destruction.

The smoke dispersed enough for the adventurers to spot Bell. He was standing, whilst panting, clearly exhausted, at the start of the slash mark. The hair on his left side was dyed red as blood trickled down his cheek, the impact from earlier must have opened a wound on his head. Other than that Bell had no other major injury, his clothes were tattered and singed, his body had cuts all over the place but they were all quite insignificant.

His right was clenched over a powder. His katana had disintegrated right after the attack was delivered as it was unbale to take on the stress of the fully powered skill combined with the enchantment spell.

Alfia and the other adventurers rushed up to him. Alfia leapt and drew him into a tight hug, before shoving a high potion in his mouth, making him intake the liquid. The bleeding on his head stopped and most of the cuts closed, leaving only a few bruises and some occasional cuts.

"Bell thank god you're alright. You did incredibly good, I'm so proud of you."

Alfia kept on hugging Bell and cuddled her cheek against his.

"Oi Bell, where is your sword?"

Bell raised his hand and opened it, revealing the ashes of the once powerful sword.

"It disappeared?"

Maxim just stared at him deadpanned, though he wasn't surprised.

"As you say Maxim, we'll need to get him a durandal class weapon, that thing was a pure adamantite and it still went poof as if it was nothing."

Zald put a hand on Bell's head and ruffled his hair.

"Yea, I suppose we need to speak with Zeus about this."

Bell grew a smile at the prospect of getting a durandal class weapon, while still being smothered by Alfia who was muttering something about being adorable. Shakti then walked up to Bell and sat down, to match her face to the height of his face.

"Shakti-san! Are you ok?"

Shakti squirmed a little as a blush grew on her face. Zald looked at her and grew a smug smile on his face.

"Y-yes, thanks to y-you B-Bell. Thank you so much for saving me and my companions. A-and you're concern is very appreciated."

She said as she bowed down, her forehead touching the cold surface of the rock beneath her. She raised her head as Bell waved his hands.

"Oh no. It's nothing, we were meant to find a challenge for me to level up anyways. With this I'll definitely level up."

There were murmurs in the back as the other adventurers heard Bell mention yet another level up by him. Together with the Ganesha Familia members, Bell and the executives moved back up to the surface. Maxim looked at Alfia,

"you don't mind?"

Alfia turned to him with a confused look.

"What do I not mind?"

"Shakti. I mean last time someone even blushed, aside from Athena, you tried to murder them."

"Oh that. Not particularly, I mean that was the case because they were not worthy of his time. Shakti though I can testify that is someone I could see with Bell when he grows up. She's always been a nice girl, who shows kindness to everyone and has a strong sense of justice, which is why she joined Ganesha along with her sister, though she could've joined Astraea, if only she had descended from Tenkai a month earlier."

Maxim nodded,

"if you're sure. Just don't go murdering anyone."

.

"LEVEL THREE BUNNY!"

Everyone in the manor and the streets outside could hear the shouts of a God, signalling the level up of everyone's beloved rabbit. The reactions of the people who heard this, were between shock, giggling, or just a proud smile.

"Let this day be marked as the day of the rise of the Argonaut! The one who rose to level three in just a little over five months, like his previous level up."

Everyone looked at him confused, mostly Bell, who upon hearing the name of his favorite hero became excited.

"Me, Hera, Loki, Hephaestus and Freya have decided to go to the Denatus in two months' time and push for the name Argonaut to be appointed as your new alias. We have justification, not that we need it since most Gods will agree anyways."

Bell fainted on the spot, but was caught by Alfia. This however caused many to burst into laughter or in a giggling fit. They all knew of the boy's infatuation with heroes, but to see him faint because of that was just golden.

"Let's set a party tomorrow for Bell's level up!"

The Zeus Familia members all cheered while Alfia left with Bell in her arms, straddling him close to her bosom. Reaching his room she tucked him under the sheets of his bed. She looked at him and gracefully giggled putting a hand over her lips. She looked at Bell and placed a kiss on his cheek. She sat there patting his head, looking at the cute sleeping face for a few minutes before getting up heading for the door. Before leaving she looked back at Bell one more time.

"You really did me proud Bell, you're starting to become a hero more and more. Goodnight my love."

As if the words reached Bell in his dreams, a bright smile grew on his face that even from that distance, Alfia began to blush, causing her to leave before she got enraptured by the smile. Back in Bell's room, the boy mumbled a word before returning to his dreamland.

"Argonaut."

To Be Continued~

Hopefully you enjoyed that, saw people saying they loved OP Bell, so here is OP Bell. I don't want to go overboard, but I will make him pretty OP by the fight with OEBD.

I only have one question for you people reading.

I've seen quite a few saying they'd rather this story be one where there is only Bell having relationships with other girls. I'm not sure why but since that doesn't really matter to me in this fanfic, besides making it easier to write, I wanted to ask and see what the majority says. Let me know in the reviews or as a PM.

I don't think I've missed anything. If you have questions ask away and I'll do my best to answer.
