In a forest covered by a moonless night, a young man with white hair and red eyes walked with a somewhat haggard look due to a series of events that led him there.
The young man was called Bell Hikari Cranel, although he was seriously thinking about changing the last two, he was the son of the most beloved daughter of the Goddess Hera, Meteria Hikari, a beautiful white-haired woman with heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one green, and the Favorite son of the God Zeus, Silver Cranel, a relatively handsome man with night-black hair and ruby red eyes. Bell also has two brothers who were born on the same day as him, a young girl with black hair and blue eyes and a young man with white hair with black streaks and red eyes, Maya Hikari Cranel and Alex Hikari Cranel, with Bell being the oldest of the three.
But problems began for the young man when he turned 6, a time when he and his brothers began to be trained to be the future of the Families. Maya and Alex showed great talent, but Bell didn't, and for a very simple reason, although it was ignorable to everyone, including the albino himself, he didn't make an effort, he wanted more to create things and read about science and books about Heroes, because he wanted to be someone who didn't need to go fight to be a Hero, he wanted to be someone who helped people live better, but that didn't stop many from seeing him with disappointment.
But the real problem occurred when his brother asked him to create glasses that could see through the wall, obviously this left the oldest of the three confused and when he was asked why, the youngest just replied that he wanted to use them to see if Maya I was alone to nail a prey. For a moment Bell thought it was those pranks that Alex played on him, Maya and the orphans at Sister Maria's orphanage that was moved closer to the Hera Family Mansion, an orphanage that both Meteria and Silver had helped for a long time.
After a while refusing to make said glasses, Bell created them just for his brother to stop bothering him, and at that same moment he regretted it when he saw his brother with a strange expression as he took the glasses and quickly left.
A month has passed since that day and the Hera Family Mansion was in turmoil, as all the women in the mansion felt a depraved gaze full of lust, not that they weren't used to it, after all the Hera Family was made up of incredible beauties, but this was the worst of all, and they could feel it from the walls, but when they went to see, there was nothing. This lasted until they ran out of patience and broke the wall where the gaze was coming from, the person escaped, but left something behind, a pair of glasses, made of strange objects where one of the women, a Werewolf, smelled the object. which led to the Bell. Little did they know, despite Bell quickly guessing, that Alex had even taken Bell's clothes in case the younger one was caught, to confuse the scent.
After that, they branded Bell the worst pervert, without giving the albino the right to self-defense, all the women looked at him with disgust and contempt, even his 'grandmother', his aunt and his sister, but the worst was his mother, who even said that that look was the worst she had ever felt. Bell was kicked out of the Mansion, and they spread it far and wide that he was the worst pervert, generating rumors for the rest of the year.
When Bell turned 13, after surviving on the streets, he tried to join a Family, but none of them accepted him, as even though they didn't remember the rumors of him being a pervert, they remembered that he was kicked out of the bigger Families, so in their minds, it meant that he was nothing special. Until he met a Goddess who had just come down from Tenkai, Hestia, who was also looking for someone to be part of her Family, making him her first 'son'. But since Bell lived on the streets, and Hestia had just moved down, they had no place to live, so they used an old abandoned church as their base.
After that, and with most already forgetting the nickname that the Hera Family gave him, Bell started going to the Dungeon, where he really made an effort to have a good living condition for himself and his Goddess, where the talent he he repressed to focus on other things began to appear. After a year, Bell became a Level 2, where just a few days didn't make him the new Record Holder, while his brothers were already Level 3, not that he cared, Bell knew that Alex and Maya had received a Falna at 8 years, in addition to receiving support from the Zeus and Hera Families.
The year passed where Bell met a Pallum called Liliruca Arde, who called herself, and preferred to be called, Lily. At first there was a certain distrust on the part of both, but they soon became friends, to the point that Lily spoke about the internal problems of the Soma Family, the Family she belonged to, and that, because of Captain Zanis Lustra, she had to give a lot of money to be able to leave, or I could drink Soma Wine, but the real one, not the one sold.
Bell knew right away that money would be difficult, so he went back to creating and made a bracelet that gave great resistance to alcohol, was it useless for Dungeon eering? Maybe, but it would do for now, not to mention, he could use it as a base for other effects, like poison. The bracelet worked long enough for Lily to ask God Soma to leave the Familia, and Pallum joined the Hestia Familia. Where it became rare not to see the two arguing for some reason. But with everything Bell had gathered since joining, and all of Lily's savings to be able to leave the Soma Familia, they managed to buy a decent house for the Hestia Familia, it was a two-story, ten-bedroom house, with two of them being 'offices' at the same time.
After a while, Bell met Welf Crozzo, a blacksmith from the Hephaestus Family, where the two signed a contract in which Crozzo would make weapons and armor in exchange for accompanying Bell in the Dungeon to get the materials, Bell didn't see any problem, since it was so simple, not to mention, that he could check all the materials, and know that the blacksmith was not hiding anything.
A month after that, Welf appeared at the Hestia Family's house with some suitcases and a forced smile, asking Bell if he could join the Family, when the albino asked why, the blacksmith just said he had an argument, but no went into detail. But Hestia gladly accepted Welf into the Family.
Shortly afterwards, Bell met the waitresses at the Hostress of Fertility, and became good friends with them and the head of the place, Mia Grand, who Bell was almost certain was the former Captain of the Freya Family, who had the Alias of Ymir, although the albino decided to keep his mouth shut. But of all the waitresses, including an Adventurer from the Astrea Family who was working there to pay off the debt for a little problem that she ended up unintentionally participating in. The friendliest was a beautiful gray-eyed and gray-haired Human girl named Syr Flova, who always prepared a meal event.
In addition to the albino getting a new advisor, a beautiful Half-Elf with brown hair and green eyes behind a pair of glasses, called Eina Tulle, who Bell considered an older sister.
Not to mention the adventures he ended up having with the group, such as surviving beyond the Upper Floors and reaching Rivira, beyond the irregular Monster Rex, a Black Goliath, descending the Boss Floor. No one could explain how this happened, but Bell heard some comments, after defeating the said monster thanks to an ability, from Evil Gods who released their Arcanauns to distract the Adventurers and the Astrea Family, who were passing through, to steal an artifact and cause the chaos.
He also had the matter with Artemis, where no one other than those involved knew what really happened, and Bell avoided anything to mention the Goddess who stole his heart.
Bell also saved a Renard named Sanjōno Haruhime, who was a friend of a Far East samurai whose group almost caused his and his group's death, and how did he save her? Well, after the Black Goliath, Bell became Level 3, where he spent a full year since he became a Level 2, and managed to negotiate with the Goddess Ishtar, in a kind of combat, if he lost with a selected member of the Ishitar Family , he entered anyway, if she lost, Haruhime entered the Hetsia Family, and the loser could not retaliate in any way. Bell won, although he didn't know if it was luck or his own effort, or if the said Amazon called Aisha Belka let him win, as she wanted to help Haruhime get out of the Ishtar Family, but Bell was sure that she was successful. In a good portion of the fight, if not all of it.
For a brief moment he thought about creating a kind of ray that simulated the Charm of the Goddesses of Beauty, or even that performed instant hypnotism, but he didn't do it for two reasons. One, he didn't know if it would work on a Goddess of Beauty. Two, he didn't want his friends to hold back for fear of what he might do with it, or if it fell into the wrong hands. Could he do this in secret? It could. Maybe. But the second part was too big a risk to convince him to abort the idea.
Almost a month after Haruhime joined the Hestia Familia, three other girls joined, after suffering some rejections, a Human with pink hair and eyes called Emma Flores, a Human with black hair and eyes called Karren Mortis and a blonde Elf with purple eyes called Primo Libera.
Bell also began to interact with the Loki Family, much to Hestia's dismay, even more so with the Amazon sisters Tiona and Tione Hiryute, the Elves Riveria Ljos Alf, Lefiya Viridis and Alicia, as well as the Human Aiz Wallenstein, not to mention the several times he talked to Captain Finn Deimne and Executive Gareth Landrock, despite not being able to stand the Werewolf Bete Loga and the Goddess Loki. In addition to Aisha Belka herself, who stopped by to visit Haruhime from time to time after joining the Hermes Family when she was expelled for losing to Bell.
But everything went wrong when his brothers decided to meddle. When Bell moved up to Level 3, he received the Alias Rabbit Foot, but his siblings moved up to Level 4, Maya received the Alias Ambiguous Light, and Alex received the Alias Future King, but that was enough for them to know where he was.
Maya bonded with all the girls that Bell had been talking to and said that he was just a damn pervert and weakling making them all move away from the bigger albino, and to rub salt in the wound, Alex kept talking about the glasses he had. he convinced Bell to do it, omitting the part where he was involved, to spy on the girls, in addition to flirting with them, making them move even further away.
But the worst part was when the two decided to join the Hestia Family, and from then on, Bell was left aside by everyone he called friends, who paid more attention to his brothers than to the albino. In the meantime, the captain of the Hera Family met the Xenos when he met a Vouivre who had just been born and who he named Wiene and met the others by accident, and as everyone was more focused on pampering Alex and Maya, only Bell I knew about the Xenos, and where the secret village of intelligent monsters was.
But even so, Bell lost his temper in less than two weeks, where he went to vent his anger in the Dungeon and only returned at night, all hurted and bruised, where he went to the Blue Pharmacy, headquarters of the Miach Family, where the said man lived. God and the only member of the Family, Naaza Erisuis, who healed him.
But what broke the albino's heart was when he came back and heard all his acquaintances mocking and belittling him, where Alex even talked about the time he tried to declare himself to a new member of the Zeus Family, but she didn't even want anything. , how the people he helped and saved call him useless and with Hestia saying that she would expel him since they had Alex and Maya. Unable to take it any longer, Bell left the headquarters and wandered the streets until he saw his friends from the Loki Family, but was shocked by what he heard, that they were just using him to get closer to his brothers, to find out how fast they got strong, which really left the albino possessed.
He rose from Level 1 to 3 in two years while his brothers took a little more than 4 to travel the same route, and this was because they had the support of two Great Families, while Bell was practically alone, it seemed that out of nowhere, everyone they decided to ignore what the older albino had achieved. The indignation, pain and disappointment was so much that he made his presence known to them, leaving them all in shock and astonishment while he shouted that he shouldn't even worry anymore since he no longer considered them friends and that they could go straight to the his damned 'brothers', and left crying, leaving the Loki Family girls a little tense.
Bell went straight to the headquarters, where he smelled a strong smell of alcohol, realizing that this was the reason for the loose mouth, and went straight to Hetsia's room, whose door was open, he managed to make the Goddess, a little sleepy, and still under the influence of alcohol, she removed Falna from him, making her think that it was a dream of when she would expel her first 'son'.
After that, he went to his room, picked up his things, although he noticed that some clothes were missing, but he didn't care at the time, and left in the silence of the night. Little did the albino know that this decision to not go after the clothes would put Alex in his rightful place.
Bell went to the walls, where he found a guard from the Ganesha Family at the gate, and one that the albino was known to, he also knew Captain Shakti Varma, who had the Alias Ankusha, and her sister Ardee Varma, who had the Alias Vyasa, although she was more of returning greetings than anything else, still, it was a pleasant relationship, where in the case of the youngest it almost bordered on friendship. Anyway, the guard in question asked why he was there, trying to leave the city at night, and Bell told him what had happened. Compassionate, the guard helped him and even made Bell sign all the necessary paperwork so that no one would go after him, not only proving his departure, but also his resignation as a citizen of Orario, which was requested by the albino himself, the guard said that To regain citizenship he would have to go through a huge process, but the former Captain of the Hestia Family didn't care, he didn't plan on returning, at least not anytime soon.
Bell just thanked him for the help, and asked him to say goodbye to Shakti and Ardee, which the guard said would be the first thing he would do when he found them. Bell then headed aimlessly through the night, just hoping to get as far away from the city as possible.
Which brings us to the current moment, when Bell was lost. Now this was strange, Bell had a map, but there was no mention of any forest on the side of town he left, only on the opposite side, which left him quite confused. Tired due to his trip to the Dungeon and the revelations he had, Bell found a tree with a hole in it, but was surprised to see the image of a door inside, as if it had been carved. But he didn't worry about that, he just took out a blanket, wrapped himself in it and leaned against the image of the door.
As soon as sleep took complete control of Bell's mind, the albino just wanted to go to a place where he could have a chance to be happy, without his brothers ruining everything. And as if the world itself heard his simple and desperate desire, the image of the door shone brightly, when the brightness died, the image had become a real door, which opened slowly, without knocking the albino down, revealing only a multicolored light, strands of light shot out from the light, wrapping around Bell slightly, and pulling him in, leaving everything else behind.
It was time for Bell to start a new life... on Remnant.
