Is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon?

Rescuing a maiden in distress just in the nick of time, making small talk to a cute waitress in a restaurant, protecting a female elf from savage adventurers, lending assistance to Amazon warriors, and making cute girls jealous if my attention is not focused on them.

That's a completely normal way of thinking for a male, at least that's what my grandfather said.

Having relationships with cute girls.

Interacting with beautiful ladies from different races.

Can't I have an encounter in the dungeon... correction, is searching for a harem in the dungeon wrong?

Answer:

I am completely wrong.

"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Divine punishment, this is probably karma for my impure thought.

"Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

I scream and scream as I get nearer and nearer to death's door. To be exact, I am currently being chased by a raging minotaur.

My attacks were useless, so I ran and ran before I, a level 1 adventurer became this bull's supper.

I'm done for! I guess this is the fate of being obsessed over shallow delusions.

The idea of becoming rich with a crowd of wives and mistresses... the moment I prepare and search for such an encounter in the dungeon where numerous people died on a daily basis, I already sealed my fate.

If I could go back in time, I would smack my former self who just came to age while signing the registration document with sparkling and hopeful eyes at the guild.

"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅"

The bull roared as he was about to strike me in a corner curled up and shivering in fear.

"Wynn Filbulvetr!"

As my impending doom draws near, I heard a voice. Upon opening my eyes, I saw the Minotaur stiff, unable to move a muscle.

In the next instant, its body convulse as it was pierced repeatedly from the back before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

What came after the bull was a woman, an elf to be precise that could have been mistaken for a goddess.

Flowing long emerald hair that shines like the gem itself, clear jade color eyes, pointed ears longer than my adviser. Wearing a green and yellow coat covered by a white cloak that gives a regal vibe.

The color of her eyes that look straight at me…

…

Even for a novice Level 1 adventurer, I knew who is in front of me.

One of the top adventurers and vice-captain of Loki Familia

Among all females of the entire race, she would be considered the strongest Level 6 mage.

Nine Hell Riveria Ljos Alf.

"Are you alright?"

She asks as she extends one of her hands toward me.

"…"

All I could do is stared at her as my cheeks were dyed red by the blood of the Minotaur and the rising blood on my cheeks, tears building up in my eyes that were projecting her figure as faint admiration… no, a strong love awakened.

At that moment, the idea of building a harem was thrown out of the window as she had stolen my heart. All I wish, all I ever wanted is to be by her side all the time.

Aaaaaaaaaannnnd cut!

A/N:

Well, that's for the prologue. The setting of the story will closely follow the original novel/anime/manga Danmachi and Sword Oratoria set in an alternate timeline where Riveria was the one that saves Bell instead of Aiz.

Made some minor changes. Corrected some grammar and spelling err. v.2 02042023

For the review, likes, and follow, thanks!
