Bell woke up the next day to find the Goddess holding his body tightly near her own, her body was pressing against his and he tried to ignore the two massive mounds that were touching him, he silently prayed that he would not react the way that most other men would. The last thing he needed was for Hestia to think of him as a pervert by waking up by feeling a hard boner pocking at her body.

He kept thinking of the coldest place he could imagine, he even began thinking of a cold frozen wasteland where nothing alive could survive and where there were no signs of life at all. His grandfather told him stories of other pantheons and this one was the realm of the frost giants, ruled by a strange woman who could transform her whole body into half skeletal and had a colder demeanor than the ice of the realm.

Well, he focused on cold places, to stop himself from reacting to the goddess who is still sleeping but rubbing herself on his body, this is why he initially didn't want to share the bed, for some reason he initially suggested that he could sleep on the floor.

Much to his surprise Bell was correct in his assumption that Hestia was what someone would call a very clingy sleeper. Honestly, he felt that she was trying to hold his body like he was something similar to a human-sized teddy bear.

"I swear Hestia if you don't wake up and let me get out of bed, I will end up giving you a golden shower, and by that I mean I am going to lose control of my bladder and you will be covered in my urine." That is the moment that Hestia lets go immediately making Bell realize that she was rubbing her body against him intentionally and she has only been pretending to be asleep all along.

He ran out of the room like a banshee out of hell and finally got some much-needed relief as he reached the bathroom. Bell felt that his bladder would burst had he waited another minute. That does it, he needed to be as upfront and clear with this goddess as possible, leave nothing to chance, and be direct.

He decided to wash up and went back to the bedroom to find Hestia had gone back to sleep. So he decided to go down to the restaurant and see if he could do something to earn himself some breakfast, what shocked him the most is that nighttime is not apparently the main shift when it comes to the number of customers, it was breakfast.

So Mama Mia was having a really hard time filling the orders since apparently the cook of this particular restaurant was late getting to his job, "Alright, Mama Mia, just yell your orders, I will be in the kitchen and tell you when the orders are ready. All I want is breakfast for me and the goddess who apparently is still asleep."

He went into the kitchen and began to work as fast as his body could handle, he was now glad that his mother had included cooking as part of the things she trained him in, he took the ingredients, and the saucepans and began to cook up a literal storm. Just as Mia would call for the next order the previous order had been completed.

He kept going order after order and didn't bother with anything else except cooking and placing the order on the counter so a waitress can pick it up and deliver it to the table. Six hours went by fast and finally, the cook decided to show up saying that the reason he was late was that his kid was not feeling well.

The guy looked like a bodybuilder, had no hair at all, and talked in such fruity and with such flair that if he didn't know the guy was married and was the father of a kid, he would have believed the guy was gay.

"Well the heavy lifting was taken care of by the young man right in front of you, and all he wants is breakfast for him and the goddess who after all this apparently loves to sleep. Thanks a lot, Bell, if you ever decide to give up your career as an adventurer and want safer employment options, keep me and this place in mind. I will always welcome you as one of our cooks."

This was a bad idea, the cook looked at Bell with this glare, decided that he was not going to take this sort of dressing down, and challenged him to a cooking battle, the two would prepare the best breakfast item that each knew and they would each taste it, along with Mama Mia and the waitresses. Bell had a feeling that this thing was just an excuse for him to apologize for being late by cooking every one of the restaurant staff breakfast.

Bell prepared a dish his mother and aunt both love, and the cook prepared one of the breakfast items that were considered the favorite by many customers. Bell began to cook his fruit waffles and the other guy began to cook his dish which consisted of eggs, cream, and vegetables, Bell thought it was an omelet.

As the food was prepared and the staff took their plates, they began eating the food, Bell was amazed at how fluffy and soft the eggs were, and the vegetables brought a nice contrast of flavors. Some actually used the waffles Bell made as bread and made an omelet sandwich out of it.

The staff was singing praises to both cooks and both cooks realized that each other was no joke when it came to preparing food. "Honestly Barrett you don't have to apologize I realize that your daughter does not do so well in this climate, so stop apologizing. At least we managed to get Airmid to finish adjusting your prosthetic arm."

Bell began to laugh and saw that he was merely a very jolly person and rather friendly to his co-workers. Bell finished breakfast after cleaning everything in the kitchen, and other things that were used, he took a serving of the food on a tray and decided to take it to Hestia thinking the smell of food would be enough to wake her from her slumber.

As Bell arrived in the room Hestia had already finished getting dressed, and was looking at Bell, "Now this is a surprise, such a gentleman, bringing me breakfast to bed." He placed the tray right next to a bed stand and watched as Hestia devoured the food that was on the plate. She truly enjoyed the food and the happy little noises she made as she ate her food.

As she finished Bell decided to take the tray to the kitchen and Hestia decided to thank Mama Mia for the wonderful breakfast she and her staff prepared. Bell was cleaning the utensils and dish when Hestia came running into the kitchen, Barrett was getting ready for the orders of the people that usually came at lunchtime.

"You mean to tell me you didn't only bring me breakfast to bed but also cook that wonderful meal?" Bell simply told her that was not accurate, he only helped cook it, he gave complete credit to Barrett who was not having it, he told Hestia that Bell cooked the waffles and he cooked the veggie omelet. Bell said nothing as he finished drying his hand.

"Honestly this guy, he was ready to give me credit for the meal that goddess ate, he is a little too humble, he should be proud of his cooking skills. I know my late wife was the one that taught me how to cook." Tifa said that he simply didn't want to as some people call it steal his thunder.

"Tifa speaking of difficult brats, where is Cloud that I haven't seen him in such a long time?" Tifa became rather serious hearing Barrett talk about Cloud, she looked at the ceiling for a second almost giving a small prayer, and then she looked at the man who asked, "Same place as always, you know as well as I do that he is in the dungeon killing monsters at the crack of dawn, he keeps saying that if he doesn't do that frequently enough, that his skills will get rusty."

Barrett began to nod his head, "Yes, I can see him thinking that, and I should really admit his dedication in trying to at the very least stay strong, but after everything he has been through, I think it would do him some good to relax once in a while, a person's life can't be all about fighting monsters."

Tifa told him that it was his means of working out his frustrations, fears, and pain, "He saw his adopted mother die in that fire that destroyed our childhood home, and then let's not forget that he is a member of that Familia, and they are extremely focused on combat, his childhood hero and his best friend are in it. I tried telling him he could join the Freya Familia and have an easier life but he had already joined the Jenova Familia by the time I told him."

Barrett looked at her and nodded his head as they both saw Bell and Hestia get ready to leave the building, which made several people wonder where they plan to go and what will this young man and this goddess end up doing? Syr pretty much joked that maybe the goddess and the young man were actually lovers and that maybe they were going to put a ring on it as it were, this made everyone who heard Alaugh.

In reality, Bell was trying his best to find a Familia that would let him join, but because his grandfather and family told him that he should find a Familia that welcomed him for his own personality and not his strength as a demigod, he had to keep his skills and strength hidden, which made many Familia take one look at him and either tell him to come back when he was stronger, don't seek them, they will seek him if they change their mind or flat out threw him out the door and slammed the door in his face.

All in all, not what you call a very good experience, if Bell was unhappy with how he was treated, Hestia who saw everything was furious, "Those stupid idiots didn't even give Bell a chance to prove himself, they could have given him a blessing and give him a test period, but no, it is either, get back when you are stronger, don't call us, we will call you, or reject him. Well I know how he is, and I did plan to start a Familia, so if he doesn't find one at the end of six months I will invite him to receive my blessing."

The fact remained that most mortals would not be able to enter the dungeon if they did not have the blessing of a god or goddess, and those few that were the descendants of people who had received a blessing while stronger than most, still would not survive long in the dungeon.

The place that came to be called the dungeon was such a dangerous and deadly place, that the city of Orario when it was first founded decided to build a massive tower, where the toughest Familia call their home, just so that the city would have people ready to hunt down the monsters that tried to escape the dungeon into the city.

The dungeon itself was a weird place where monsters would literally be born from the dungeon walls, the massive dungeon generated monsters every hour upon the hour, which means the place had a never-ending supply of monsters, the place definitely had a feel of a massive mine shaft rather than a building, the monsters were born from the walls of the dungeon in a way that other find frightening.

The dungeon was divided into levels and the deeper a person goes, the more powerful and dangerous the monsters they would find there, the people who receive a divine blessing joined that deities family, they were called a Familia, and as they explore the depths of the dungeon they were also part of an association who paid them for things, items, and crystals that remain from killing monsters, and they were also called adventurers.

Bell grew up hearing stories of ancient heroes, brave adventurers, amazing warriors, and explorers told by his grandfather, his family would say that this was part which they had no problem with, it was the part that he would tell Bell that one day should think about forming a harem that made his mother and aunt want to beat the ever-living daylights out of his grandfather.

As a demigod, he was more than strong enough to explore the dungeon as soon as he entered the city, but in reality, if he did that without the blessing of a deity, and began to clear levels in the dungeon it would cause two major problems, the first it would encourage people to try and explore the dungeon without a blessing, which will lead to a lot of people dying, and the second the deities in the city would feel almost insulted which would end up causing them to unleash their wrath on the person that insulted their very purpose of being in the mortal world.

Bell realized that if he did that, this would set a bad example for ordinary people and draw attention to himself in a way that he really wanted to avoid. So Bell decided to do things the proper way, except it has been a week, and not a single Familia that they met would offer to grant him a blessing and welcome him to join.

Bell was actually living in the Hostess of Fertility much to the joy of Mama Mia and the staff, Hestia had decided to live with a friend, who was a deity of the forge, so she decided to help her friend. Bell was a very talented person when it came to cooking, and the way he treated others was so sweet that some of the waitresses were wondering why doesn't have a lover or several?

He earned his living by being the second cook of the restaurant, Barrett and he became very good friends once he met his daughter Marlene who was ill but refused to take her medicine because according to her it tasted yucky, so Bell took the medicine and decided to bake it into cookies. The minute Marlene ate it if she had one complaint was that she could only eat one per day. It goes without saying that Barrett was extremely grateful as he saw his daughter get better.

Miach who was one of the gods that ran their own apothecary, heard the story and realized that it was true, that children would frequently refuse to take medicine because they found it to taste bad, he would argue that good medicine always tastes bad, once he heard of this little girl and about the cookies, he talked with Mama Mia to create medicinal treats that would treat common childhood diseases.

Mama Mia ended up making these treats after the last customer left, and she made quite a bit of money thanks to it, so she even liked the fact that Bell was not only one of the most polite guys that ever worked in the restaurant but his idea of baking medicine in treats for children was also very profitable. Bell of course would refuse to take credit for it, and nobody knew that the treats that saved so many children were in fact thanks to him.

In his own words he said, that as long as children were able to grow up into kind, decent people, that was rewarding enough. Nobody wants to see a parent's tears over the death of their child. This was a sentiment also born from the fact that Bell never met his father.

The medical treatment treats were initially treated with some suspicion and distrust, but as the children made no excuse whatsoever for taking them when given instead of the actual normal medicines, the sudden lack of trouble in getting their children to take their medicines began to override any negative concerns they had for the treats in the first place.

One mother was saying while she ate her meal that getting her son to drink his cough syrup was like trying to pull teeth, but baked into a sweet treat like a cookie or a biscuit and the kid ate it without a second thought, in fact, she had to constantly check that her son didn't take another one without her knowing.

Where she was once worried about her son never recovering from his constant cough, became that she had to take the biscuits with her or her child was liable to overdose. A man talked about his daughter having a horrible temper due to her not getting enough sleep, one cookie later, she was asleep and became all the sweeter because of it when she woke up the next day.

Bell only heard a couple of comments as he cooked one meal after another, Barrett's only complaint was that thanks to Bell being such a good cook, the restaurant had gone from having only a few busy hours to them being busy with constant customers all day long. Mama Mia was not about to complain that her business was doing so well, that she finally got someone to remodel her pantry and now she could have even more ingredients than ever, and they last longer thanks to the built-in enchantments.

Hestia for some reason was not happy about the way some of the waitresses threw shame out the window and according to her constantly tried to seduce Bell in not-so-subtle ways. Like when Ryuu supposedly tripped and Bell trying to prevent her fall ended up with his face buried in the cleavage of that elf.

Some of the waitresses acted like Bell was made out of catnip, if they were not taking an order to a client, they were near him, the only thing is Bell was so busy that all their clumsy attempts to seduce him went unnoticed, except Hestia who noticed it and was intrigued and annoyed. But unknown to anyone Bell was purposely ignoring them.

The reason Bell was doing all this was to get enough money to buy the equipment, he needed to dig up the lockboxes his grandfather and family had buried in dozens of hidden areas around Orario way back when they were still recognized by the citizens of the city, he needed at least two of them and a means to open a bank account to keep that money secure and secret.

He remembered that one of the main flaws of the Hestia Familia, as he remembered, was that initially, they had only one member, which kept them basically barely surviving since there was only one person to do basic dungeon raids. Dungeon raids were the bread and butter of any Familia that was not focused solely on business.

The second problem was that his current strength was something he could not use at full power because the weapons while cheap could not handle his powers and he would end up destroying every single dagger, sword, or any weapon he used when fighting monsters in the dungeon, this was going to cost him, so he needed some saving to be able to replace those weapons and armor when needed.

The main way to remove that problem would be to get a skilled enough blacksmith to join his Familia, after he joined it, this person would become indispensable weapons and armor supplier for them, and would minimize the equipment expense, the problem is that most if not all blacksmith skilled enough worked or were members of Lady Hephaestus Familia.

Hestia was good friends with her and she was currently working to keep in her good graces and also to find some new members for her Familia and to eventually afford a proper home for her Familia and if that home becomes a love nest for her and a future love so be it.

Bell could never get used to it, the goddess of beauty, the single most desired goddess in the city, was currently pretending to be a mortal waitress, and she was one of the waitresses who would use any excuse to talk with him. The funny thing is he could tell it was her, Lady Freya, and he could due to his senses and being familiar with the energies a deity would possess, after growing up with his Aunt, Mother, Uncle, and Grandfather he could sense a deity simply by the sense of familiarity. although it did seem a little off for Lady Freya he supposed it was just because he was in another dimension.

Bell continues to work towards getting the necessary equipment, and finally opened a bank account much to his surprise it was a bank affiliated with the Guild administration, this made it easier to deposit his earnings and keep his money secure, technology had advanced to the point that he could pay for anything he wants using just a simple card and the money would be deducted from his account.

He walked into the tower and began to look for mining equipment, and sure he began to walk through the floor where all sorts of tools were displayed, and he saw many tools but eventually, he found a young blacksmith who apparently was not liked by her fellow blacksmith because this person was given the smallest place to display her tools.

"I need a pickax, hammer, and shovel. What would you suggest to me? I need them to be durable." The blacksmith looked at him almost wondering if he was serious and began to show him the tools he requested, they were not flashy, and actually were modestly priced. "I believe these tools are all your tools will be three hundred Valis. I am sorry to tell you that I do not have a card reader, so cash only."

Bell took something from his pocket and gave it to her and she was very happy with what she received. Bell immediately took her tools and thank her for providing the tools he needs. As he was walking away she simply asked him what was his name? "I am sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, forgive my rudeness, I am Bell Carnel, an aspiring adventurer, trying to earn enough money for my initial equipment and enough money to be helpful to the Goddess who leads the Familia I will join."

She looked at him and smiled, "I do like a man who knows what he wants and is smart enough to plan. My name is Rakia Crozzo. I am a blacksmith of the Hephaestus Familia, I do hope you find these tools to be useful for you, if you plan to mine some ore be sure to keep me in mind if you want to sell it. I promise to give you a good price for it."

As he walked outside the tower after getting over a surprise quickly he wondered if Welf in this timeline had a sister and couldn't wait to see his friend again and began to walk the outskirts of the city and began running towards the first place where the nearest lockbox was and the land had changed quite a bit since it was first buried, and he found it at the base of a large tree, the tree apparently grew on top of the lockbox, and after some digging and moving the box, he finally picked it up.

He cleaned the box and without much effort, he immediately unlocked the lockbox and pocketed the items within, and in a matter of minutes he was again in the bank location, he handed them a box full of Valis that made the cashier ask for his manager.

"Ah, Mister Cranel, I was informed by my cashier that you are attempting to deposit what seems to be some very ancient valis and I must congratulate you on finding what appears to be some treasure from the Era when the Zeus Familia was honored and recognized by our city, you may wonder how I know this, It is quite simply the Zeus Familia symbol is on some of the coins."

He looked at the man and began to shake his head, "Am I going to be in trouble for trying to deposit this? I know it was quite a large sum of money." The man began to laugh and looked at Bell with a smile, "On the contrary Mr. Carnel, I simply wanted to congratulate you on finding this treasure, and since you are depositing such a large amount so I would like to offer you replace your current account for a higher interest rate account? No need to worry about replacing the card, you can still use it. Do you accept?"

Bell simply asked to see the appropriate paperwork and without even waiting to hear where to sign he read the papers and signed the documents. "I would be a fool to refuse such a generous offer. Thank you very much for your help."
