Chapter 1

Orario:

The time was midnight on a moonless night.

"Are you sure you're okay with doing this, Alfia? "Asked a big man with dark brown hair, gray eyes, and scars on his face.

"We can't go back anymore, Zald. This is the only way possible. "Responded a beautiful fair-skinned woman with silver hair who had heterochromia, with her right eye being green while her left was grey. Sandness and regret were visible on her face.

Alfia was dressed in a dark goth-like dress that spanned all the way down to her feet. Around her neck, she had a necklace with a green gemstone decorated. She also wore dark, semi-transparent gloves. She is the Level 7 of the Hera Familia Silence Alfia Cranel or also known as Incarnation of Talent.

Zald had dark brown hair, gray eyes, and scars on his face. He wears full-body black armor along with a dark red cape. He is the Level 7 of the Zeus Familia Zald Gluttony.

"I have nothing left anyway. "Alfia said as tears were formed in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Zald hugged her.

'If only we could...'

She was about to return the embrace but she pushed him away and turned her back on him.

"I need to go for a walk. "She said with a low voice.

She left the man and walked away trying to keep her composter.

After she left, a man who had black hair with two cadet gray locks and gray eyes walked behind, he was wearing brown traveling clothes and a blue scarf.

"You two can leave if you want to, you know. After all, no one knows about us being Evilus, not even the other Gods, not even Vito know. "The man spoke with a smile.

"You want to destroy Orario but you've been trying to get us, two of the most dangerous and powerful people on this word to leave, to leave, Erebus. "Zald said while glaring at the man who is the God of Darkness Erebus.

Erebus turned his back on him and was returned to the house he come from but he said with a low voice.

"I see the way you two look at each other and it would be better if you two were to stay alive and find the happiness the two of you deserve. "

'If only it was that simple. 'Zald thought.

Far away in Daedalus Street

A 7 years white-haired boy with red eyes was walking down the street as he was holding a blue necklace with his tiny hand.

The boy had tears in his eyes and his face displayed nothing but sadness.

"Mom, why did you leave me?"Mumbled the boy as he was dizzy from lack of sleep and food.

The boy's mother had passed away 2 days ago. His mother was ill but she tried to give him everything she could give.

On the other side of the street, Alfia was walking trying to ignore the thought she had ever since surviving the One-Eyed Black Dragon.

'Keep it together, Alfia. Your reason for living is gone anyway. So give your life so others can have one. 'Alfia thought as she heard the cries of a child.

She looked in the direction the crying came from and saw a boy with white hair and two red eyes that she found repulsing.

"An orphan. He must've lost his parents not long ago. Why can't he mourn more quietly? "Alfia said not liking the amount of sound he was emitting.

After a few steps, they reached each other and stopped walking. She looked down at him but

Still annoyed by the boy, she spoke.

"Crying doesn't do a thing, kid. You better move on. "Alfia spoke to the kid who refused to look into her and she didn't bother to see his face.

"Mom is the only one I had.*Sob*. She told me to be strong and I'm trying to be.*Sob*. "The boy spoke trying to stop himself from crying but fail.

'He's like me and...her but he doesn't have anyone. At least, we had each other. 'Alfia thought as she was filled with sadness from the memories of her past.

'Damm kid, he reminds me of my past. 'Alfia thought as she was filled with anger and regret.

"Mom. "Suddenly she heard the boy's voice calling her.

She looked down and their eyes met for the first time.

The boy's face was nearly a reflection of hers when she was a child.

"Sorry, *Sob* miss you just look *Sob* a lot like my dead mother*Sob*. "The boy spoke while tears fell from his eyes non-stop with a fake smile and walked passed the astonished Alfia.

'No, don't even dare hope...Don't ever think...She died a long time ago...It's just a coincidence...It's just another sick torture from the Gods...'Alfia was trying her best to convince herself to forget what she has just seen.

*Thud*

Suddenly Alfia heard the voice of something falling into the ground and turned her head and saw the boy on the ground.

Without knowing the reason why she ran to the boy, she just did.

She inspected his body and saw that he seem to haven't eaten a thing in days and the white of his eyes was red from crying and there are circles below his eyes from lack of sleep, his lips were dry.

Then she noticed that the boy was holding a blue necklace identical to her green one but a bit smaller.

Tears fell from her eyes. It wasn't like the time she saw the Black Dragon slaughter her Familia. It wasn't like the time heard that her twin sister fall to the illness.

"You really are Meteria's son. "She finally said the name of her twin sister after 7 years of forbidding herself from saying it or thinking it.

She hugged the boy and ran with tears in her eyes and an uncharacteristic smile on her face.

After a few minutes, she reached the house she's been staying with Zald and Erebus.

When she basically stormed the house and almost broke the door, Erebus and Zald were surprised by the action of the woman who despises sound to do such a thing.

Then, the two of them saw her put a boy on her bed.

The two men followed her.

"Who is the boy? "Erebus asked curious about the boy that Alfia look at with so much fear for him who he found familiar for some reason.

Zald noticed the blue necklace and his appearance which made him realize who he is.

"He's Meteria's son, isn't he? "Zald said which made Alfia turn with tears in her eyes and nod her head smiling before turning her attention to the boy again.

Both Zald and Erebus were surprised by her action since both of them know she didn't allow anyone to say her twin sister's name.

The next morning:

The white-haired boy was opening his eyes. As he was waking up, he felt better than he felt for days, he wasn't even hungry.

He looked around and saw that he was in a bed in an unfamiliar room.

Then he noticed that his right hand was being held by some warm hand.

He looked at his right side and saw a silver-haired woman and found her familiar.

"Mom. "He said which made him remember his mother taking her last breath and what she said to him.

Flashback

"Bell, please don't cry. "Meteria said as she held her son's cheek as tears were falling from his eyes.

Bell was going to ask his mother not to leave him but he couldn't. Despite his young age, Bell understood her condition and that she is going to leave him but what made him happy is the fact she will not be hurt by her illness anymore.

Bell smiled at his mother. Even with tears in his eyes, his mother understood why he was happy and smiled in return.

"Bell, I don't think I will last anymore. Bell, my sister Alfia is out here in Orario. I know she will try to use her last breath to help this world. You remember what the kind of person I told you she is. "Meteria said with a sad smile.

Bell remembered what he had heard about Evilus and understood that his aunt will pretend to have become a villain and she will allow herself to be killed and be known as a villain in order to make Orario stronger.

"Bell, I know this is harsh but find her and convince her to stop what she's doing. It won't work. Nobody can even hope to reach the strength of Hera Familia and Zeus Familia. Freya Familia doesn't care about anything except that whore's whims and getting her love. Loki Familia only wants to be the best for themselves and they will sacrifice anyone who gets in their way, the Prum Braver that doesn't deserve his name is a leader who will do anything to get famous. Don't trust Astraea Familia, they only see their own sense of justice. Trust yourself. "She said that which made Bell remember that she and everyone else said he is a very weird and a genius child.

Meteria's hand fell from Bell's cheek and he looked at her face and saw her smiling with her eyes closed but she didn't move.

Bell took her hand and felt nothing.

She's finally from that curse. That was all that Bell was thinking about.

Flashback End

Bell smiled at his aunt.

Alfia opened her eyes slowly and looked at the white-haired boy who was smiling at her but she couldn't figure out why.

"Why are you smiling like that? "Alfia asked because of the strange behavior of the boy who she thinks is her nephew.

"Because I'm happy to meet you Aunt Alfia. "Bell said which made tears fall from her eyes and hug Bell which made him hug her back and tears fall from his eyes.

They stayed like that for 5 minutes.

"Can I talk to the others, now? "Bell said as Erebus and Zald.

"What a sharp boy you are. Hello, my name is Erebus. This is Zald. "Erebus said as he introduced himself and the big man behind him.

Bell looked at the two for a second and spoke.

"You're Zald Cranel Gluttony of the Zeus Familia. Mom told me about you. And you are the God of Darkness Erebus. My name is Bell Cranel. "Bell said which surprised all of them.

"You know what are we were planning on doing, right? "Erebus asked which made the other two glare at him.

"About, the three of you being members of the Evilus and your pointless self-sacrifice plot. If that's the case, then yes. Mom figured out what you were about to do and I figure out what she meant after she hinted at me and the way you think according to her made me realize it. "Bell answered them like it was all normal.

"Tsk, Tsk. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. This is insane. Our plan was exposed even before we start it. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. "Erebus laughed at this ridiculous situation.

Bell raised his hand and talked.

"Can I eat something? I'm hungry. "Bell said finally acting like a child his age.

The two humans felt a bit relieved that Bell at least act like a child.

Half Hour Later

The four of them were eating together and explained to each other things that happened to them.

Bell was sitting on Alfia's lap because there were only 3 chairs.

"Are you insane, Bell? "Alfia said with an uncharacteristic angry loud voice.

"Yes. "Bell answered with a smile that showed he was not afraid of the angry female that could destroy the city in a moment.

"Kid, I like you already. "Zald declared which made Bell smile, Alfia glare, and Erebus chuckle.

"Are the two of you married? "Bell innocently asked which made the two go silent and blush a little.

"Well, technically they are. Alfia is pregnant as well. "Erebus informed everyone and shocked them too.

Bell was happy that he was going to be an older brother.

"How could... "Zald was about to ask.

"I'm a God. I lived long enough to notice signs of pregnancy. She's in the second month, most likely. "Erebus calmly said which made Bell touch her belly and he felt something like a heartbeat and Alfia felt too thanks to her Level.

"I'm happy for you, Mom and Dad. "Bell said with a smile which made Alfia hug him.

A Week Later

"Bell, you sure are related to Alfia. "Erebus said as he noticed how fast Bell was learning and from what Bell said, he learned a few things from a blonde girl who is about 2 years older than him.

'Bell doesn't know it but she is most likely the Sword Princess Ais Wallenstein. He said she could be the daughter of Sword Champion Albert Waldstein and the Great Wind Spirit Aria Waldstein. The surnames are similia and from Zald and Alfia's knowledge about Dungeon Oratoria, the fact that Mercenary King had a daughter, fits the fact that they have a daughter and from what is said about her Magic is way too strong for a mortal but if she is a half Spirit, it makes sense. 'Erebus thought to himself remembering what Bell told them a week ago.

Erebus looked at Bell and remembered his first meeting with him a year ago.

Flashback

On a moonless night, Erebus was walking in the street of Daedalus Street trying to figure out how to introduce himself to Orario when the Evilus attacks Orario.

Suddenly he noticed a boy who was shaking and hiding behind an almost destroyed wall.

Erebus approached the boy out of curiosity.

"Hey, are you..."

"Please don't hurt me. "The boy screamed at him which made him notice that the boy was scared.

Erebus looked again at the boy and saw his white hair which reminded him of the snow and two red eyes that were almost like 2 pools of blood.

'Those eyes, even in his fear state right now, look so strong. 'Erebus thought for a second until he realized that the boy is afraid of the dark.

Erebus sat by his side which surprised the boy.

"You know there are many people who are afraid of the darkness because they think it is the opposite of the light but they are all wrong. "

"They are? "The boy asked as slowly he got out of the place he was hiding in.

"Darkness and Light are actually twins. One can't exist without the other. Life and Death. Love and Hate. Mercy and Ruthlessness. Beginning and End. Poison and Cure. "The boy became interested in the talk of the young man.

"None of them is evil or good. People who use them are the ones who decide that. "The boy's eyes sparkled a bit from what he said.

"I think I kept you here long enough. You should go back home. "Erebus said with a smile which made the boy bow and speak with excitement in his voice.

"Thank you. "He ran after saying that.

"What a nice child. Should've asked for his name. "Erebus said to himself and walked away.

Flashback End

'Was this you're doing Clotho, Lachesi, Atropos? 'Erebus thought to himself as he was going to give Bell his Falna.

Both Zald and Alfia were behind him.

Every adult was shocked and dumb folded by the boy's ridiculous Status.

When Bell saw their faces, he was worried but he was amazed after seeing his Status.

"I think we should go to the guild now and register the Erebus Familia. Also, I have a perfect location for a mansion. "Erebus said with a smile.

Guild:

The four of them were walking to the Guild while Bell was holding Alfia's hand.

Every adventurer and civilian was avoiding the two Level 7 knowing who they are.

They entered the Guild and found that there was a receptionist who was alone.

The receptionist was a red-haired Werewolf with brown-yellow eyes who was in her early twenties.

She noticed Alfia and Zald who were coming behind a God and was shocked by the boy Alfia was holding.

Erebus reached Rose who was sweating a little.

"Hello, my name is Erebus. I'm here to register my Familia. "Erebus said with a smile as put the Status of the three of them.

"Okay,...Erebus-Sama. Are you the two Gluttony and Silence? "Rose asked which made them nod while saying "Yes. ".

""""""""WOOOOOOOH"""""""Screamed a crowd that was formed behind them.

"Silence. "Alfia spoke darkly and the crowd disappeared instantly.

"Who is the boy, then? "Rose asked as she pointed at Bell.

"Their son, Bell. "Erebus answered.

"""""""WAAAAAATTT"""""

"Do you have a death wish? "Alfia said as she raised her hand and just like that the crowd disappeared.

Rose looked at Bell's Status and then at the boy himself.

"He's not too young and no buts. "Erebus told Rose with a smile

Twilight Manor

Dain was running to Finn's office as fast as he could.

He stormed the door.

"Dain, why the hell are you doing? "Loki screamed at the Level 4 adventurer who break into the office.

"Alfia...and...Zald...are...back. "Sain said as he tried to catch his breath.

""""WHAT?"""" Screamed Loki, Riveria, Finn, Gareth, Bara, and Noir at the same time.

"How are they back? "Asked Finn after calming down a little.

"They joined a God named Erebus along with their son. "

"Son. "Screamed Loki at Dain's new information.

Midnight Garden

"This is the Midnight Garden. "Erebus said as Bell looked at the black and red-colored house that was in southwestern Orario.

Bell looked at the opposite side of the road and saw Stardust Garden the house of the Astraea Familia.

"You had to choose someplace poetic, didn't you? "Alfia asked with a little anger.

Bell smiled a little but he was thinking.

'Mom Meteria told me not to trust them so I wouldn't for a long time. '

Bell looked at the house again and thought.

'This is where I begin. '


I will make Welf, Haruhime join Erebus.

Lefiya will meet Bell and join his Familia afterward.

Bell is different because Zeus didn't raise him.

Bell still wants to be a hero but not as much.

I might not use Argonaut as a skill. Give suggestion.

Review.
