A/N So, first off, I am shocked at how many of you enjoyed the first chapter and I thank you for your support. When I first saw the metrics after 24 hours, I almost spit out my drink from shock. So again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. That being said I did forget a few things from a revision I made to the first chapter as I had written it over the course of a few months to get it the way I wanted it. I forgot one of Bella's skills and a skill for the OC Ryan. Bella has access to the skill Copy like Alfia and Ryan has access to the skill Sua Sponte. Sua Sponte is the Ranger Motto meaning of one's own accord. So, for the skill it would be Sua Sponte – An increase to Strength and Endurance when fighting a stronger opponent or defending someone weaker than oneself. Bella's skill copy works the same way as Alfia's. Copy – Can copy moves user has seen once, unable to copy physical attributes. What the second part means is Bella wouldn't have the same strength as Ottar if she copied his moves, but she could do the same moves but at a lot lower strength.
I do not own Danmachi/Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon?
Chapter Two
Morning after Bella joined the Loki familia.
As Bella wakes up, she is surprised that the bed is super comfortable and as she stretches when she wakes up, she remembers everything that happened the day before. 'Gods and Goddesses, I joined the Loki familia. I don't know if I deserve this but maybe I might be able to be a hero.'
Knock, Knock
Bella's thoughts are interrupted when a knock is heard at the door of the room. Riveria Ljos Alf opens the door and guides Bella to the dining room for breakfast. "We like to have breakfast and dinner as a familia as much as we can. It helps promote camaraderie and the feeling of belonging. Also do not worry about Bete. He will not bother as he is in the dungeon for certain drop items as punishment." Riveria says while guiding her. She also goes over the Bathroom schedule and explains that no one is permitted in the dungeon on Sundays unless there is an expedition but that is only for the expedition team.
"Thank you, Miss Riveria." Bella says as they arrive to the dining room and Bella is guided to a table off to the side of the main table for the executives and Loki. Bella looks over at Riveria who is staring at one spot at the empty table before she turns around and starts looking around before looking at the executives table and seeing Loki starts walking over to her Bella still following without Riveria noticing.
"Loki where is Ryan he should here?" Riveria asks before muttering. "I swear that man doesn't take care of himself anywhere as much as he should."
"Calm down Mama, He probably is doing his morning run." Loki says chuckling while thinking. 'Why can't you just admit it Riveria. You care about him more than as a fellow member.' "You know how he is. Always running in the morning."
"Loki he left earlier this morning." Another Elf says she has golden blonde hair and hazel brown eyes.
"Did he say where he was going Alicia?" Riveria asks.
"No, Lady Riveria but he did have a rifle and pistol with." The now named Alicia said before realizing what Ryan was doing. "He went on patrol, didn't he?"
"I believe you can ask him now." Loki said seeing Ryan walking in the room behind Riveria.
"Ryan did you go on patrol solo when I made the rule and you agreed to it of no solo patrols?" Riveria asks while looking into his eyes.
"No one else was awake. I didn't run into any trouble and ended up running into the Astrea girls in Sector 16. So, I wasn't alone, and I only agreed when you said we would form a team for it to assist the Ganesha and Astrea Familias. We have not put a team together yet." Ryan explains his reasoning while staring into Riveria's eyes, daring her to make an argument.
"I do not want you going solo it could be dangerous. You are only one person." Riveria relents slightly.
"I will endeavor to not be solo but as of right now I am the only person in this familia who is doing patrols. I am not stopping my patrols." Ryan says.
"That is fine we will discuss this with Finn later." Loki says before looking to Ryan. "Ryan you are going to be going with me to Babel to get Bella geared and then tomorrow you will be accompanying me to a meeting, and we will be bringing Bella here with to the meeting so I can get to know you, Bella."
"Thank you, Goddess." Bella says before looking to Ryan out of the corner of her eye and blushing slightly. Loki seeing this smiles internally. 'He just doesn't know how to stop attracting people.'
After breakfast and Ryan changing into his dungeon equipment and grabbing a spare issue combat knife, he walks down the stairs to where Loki, Bella and Alicia are waiting. "Alicia, are you coming with us?" Ryan asks her before handing the combat knife to Bella and saying. "This is to be used in a last resort when around town and for cutting monster crystals out." A/N: For Ryan's armor think a mixture of Dusk Hunter armor mod of Skyrim mixed with crusader chainmail on top of the leather like sleeves and a medieval styled Mandalorian Helmet with the part around eyes that can be raised. The main hand sword is from a mod for Skyrim Seasoned Traveler, the offhand sword is a copy of Dark Sister from Game of Thrones, but the blade is a darker silver to match the seasoned traveler blade. The daggers are one Skyforge Dagger, one Dawnguard Dagger from the Dawnguard Arsenal Mod for Skyrim with two Nordic Daggers from Skyrim. The two Nordic daggers are in the small of the back above the quiver with the Skyforge Dagger being on the right ankle and the Dawnguard Dagger being on the left ankle. The Axe that is carried around is a Nordic War Axe. The bow is a Nordic Bow, and the arrows are also Nordic along with the quiver. A/N Loki already has paid off the Sword and the rest of the weapons have been made by high level smiths except for the Bow and arrows as they were made by the god Goibniu as a gift for killing the One-Eyed Black Dragon. The bow also grows with Ryan same as the Seasoned Traveler Sword.
"Thank you." Bella says quietly before looking away blushing.
"Yes, I will be coming with today as my party wants a break from the dungeon, but I need to earn some money because I chipped my blade during the expedition, and I need to get more arrows. How are you doing on arrows?" Alicia says before asking as she only sees maybe twenty to thirty arrows in Ryan's quiver.
"I still have over a hundred arrows. I just am only bringing these because I plan on going down and helping Bella learn what it is like to have a supporter for a little bit with Loki's permission." Ryan says while they start walking towards the tower Babel. Ryan looks over to Bella who looks at Ryan's dungeon kit and looks like she has a question. "Bella you can ask a question if you want to."
"Why do you have multiple weapons? Like you have a bow, two swords, at least two daggers that I can see and a small axe. Is there a reason you carry so many weapons?" Bella asks while looking at the weapons.
"I use the bow at range, the longer sword is normally paired with one of the daggers, the short sword or the axe. The daggers are for extreme close quarters, and they get mixed with mixed martial arts. I would also have a shield with but with no supporter it gets in the way. Some days I leave the Bow and the other sword behind to take the shield but with today's idea of the dungeon being you are the vanguard, and I am going to watch you and help train you and after that I will be bringing you back up to go over what I think you need help on or depending on where Alicia is going I might have you learn the supporter role and just help us down there." Ryan says while looking to Alicia at the end to get her point of view on possibly taking Bella lower if they go with it as it is a level four in Alicia and a level three in Ryan.
"I would rather not have Bella come with us because she is a level one, but we don't need to go down past floor ten to be honest a few hours on floor ten would be enough." Alicia said. "It is also kind of up to Loki."
"It would be ok if you are both with her, but I would like to have maybe one more person to go with, an actual supporter who can help and not force Bella to have to learn something that she won't be." Loki says before directing them to the elevator and having it go up to the eighth floor. Loki directs them to the same shop that Ryan had his original equipment order. "Hey Phe-Phe, do you have any low-level smiths that need a party?" Loki asks as she walks it after seeing Hephaestus but stops when she sees a beautiful woman with White hair in a black dress talking to the goddess before she turns around and Loki sees the different colored eyes of grey and green.
When Bella walks in and see the woman, she smiles and walks over to her saying. "Auntie, how did it go?" Bella immediately gets bonked on the head.
"What did I tell you to call me Bella?" The woman asks.
"Sorry Stepmother Alfia." Bella says quietly while the woman runs her hand through Bella's hair.
"Alfia what are you doing here?" Loki asks. Before she registers what Bella called her. Loki then looks over to Bella and asks. "Bella your related to Alfia?"
"Yes, she is my aunt, but she has raised since I could remember." Bella says before looking confused on why Loki started hiding behind Ryan and Alicia.
"Alfia are you here to finish what Zald started seven years ago?" Loki asks sparking Ryan to pull his main sword out and point it at Alfia and grabbing one of his Nordic Daggers on the small of his back.
"No, I am not. I am here strictly for Bella. She wants to be a hero because her grandpa told her hero stories for as long as she can remember before she lost him." Alfia says before looking at Bella. "Why are you with Loki familia?"
"No one else excepted me. So, I sort of lived in the dungeon for two weeks before finding out that the guild helps both blessed and unblessed adventurers." Bella said before looking away. "I needed the money because you estimated that it would only take a day or two to be accepted by a familia."
"I said that because you were supposed to bring up that you were trained by Silence and where you go, she goes." Alfia says before realizing. "You wanted to make it on your own didn't you."
"I didn't want to use your name to get an easy ride into a familia. I wanted it to be on my own merit." Bella says. "I wanted to make you proud to."
"Bella I am proud of you. I knew it would be difficult without using my name so that is why I told you. Now please tell me why you are with Loki familia." Alfia says while hugging the downcast girl.
"A group of Minotaurs ran away from the returning expedition and one got to floor five where Bella here was. I cut it down when she took a wrong turn and hit the dead end." Ryan says before sheathing his sword and dagger.
"Well thank you for doing that but it doesn't answer my question on what she is doing here with you now." Alfia says.
"Goddess Loki offered me a position when I did something not smart." Bella says before getting quiet and shy which to Ryan looks insanely cute.
"She ran to the dungeon without any gear after a member of the familia made fun of her because of the Minotaur Ma'am. She was on floor six. I went after her because I wanted to make sure she was alright after the minotaur and get her a new dagger as the guild issue one was shattered." Ryan explained.
"I offered her a spot in the familia because as a falna less adventurer she made it to floor six in less than a month." Loki says surprising Alfia.
"Floor six? Bella, are you rushing things?" Alfia asks.
"No." Bella says before looking over at a set of armor being put on a shelf. Alfia see the armor Bella is looking at but decides that she will look for the smiths mark if Bella wants it.
"Alfia, will you join my familia?" Loki asks almost excitedly.
"Only for Bella but in terms of strength and cooperation you are the best familia for her to join. But you better not try any of your pervy shenanigans on her." Alfia says before looking to Hephaestus who is now talking to the man that came in with Loki. "Loki who is that man?"
"That is Ryan, He is a level three of my familia current record holder, and he is the one who killed the One-Eyed Black Dragon." Loki says and before Alfia can interrupt, she explains how he did it and where he is from. After explaining it Alfia listens in on the conversation the Ryan and Hephaestus are having.
"How is the sword holding up?" Hephaestus asks while she is inspecting the equipment.
"It feels good same with the armor. The blade has cut through anything I have come across. What is it made out of same with the daggers and the other sword." Ryan asks while unsheathing the swords and daggers he is talking about.
"The swords and those two daggers are made of a mixture of the drops from the dragon and mithril the two other daggers are made of mithril and adamantine. The bow I sent part of the drops to Goibniu the arrows are also made with some of those drops. The leather of the armor is from some of the wings while the scales were made into squares and polished down slightly." Hephaestus explains the armor and weapons he has. "The axe was a little tricky as it is completely adamantine with only slight additions of mithril and the dragons leather on the handle as all of it."
"So, you got any left? I would like to order a dagger to replace the guild dagger that Bella shattered defending herself against a minotaur. I will be paying for it." Ryan says before Loki walks over.
"Phe-Phe like with Ryan's main sword and bow it needs to grow with the user Bella here has a skill like Ryan's just called something else. Don't know how powerful it is but its another fast growth skill I won't be spreading it around." Loki says.
"Loki that would be almost two hundred million valis. I don't think Ryan here has that yet and I know you don't as you paid off his sword already three hundred million. I know you are well off but even you do not have five hundred million valis stored away." Hephaestus says while looking very intently at Loki.
"She may not but I have close to two billion valis as I am the sole inheritor of the Hera and Zues familia's fortune." Alfia says shocking Hephaestus and Loki as they wondered where that money went.
"I also have close to five hundred million valis left from the reward for killing the One-Eyed Black Dragon." Ryan says as after confirmation by the guild and multiple adventurers and Oranous a newly descended god confirming that it was the One-Eyed Black Dragon the gods got together with the different empires of Genkai and the guild to issue a reward of one billion valis as thanks for killing the beast and all drops were given to Ryan to do with as he saw fit.
"Well, I will be paying for it as it is for my blood family and that will be the end of it." Alfia says before looking over at Bella who picked up the crate of light armor.
"I would like this armor as well please." Bella says while bringing the armor up to the check out.
"Welf Crozzo." Alfia mumble out while inspecting the armor before she can finish saying what she wanted Alicia interrupts her.
"Crozzo?" Alicia yells before Alfia bonks her on the head. Bella asks what is so bad about him and it gets explained what the Crozzo family did to the elves before Hephaestus explains that this Crozzo even though he has the capacity to make magic swords refuses to even utilize that skill and explains what he went through when he left Rakia. She also explains that there are only two in existence, and they were made to get into her familia, and he hasn't made any since. "Oh, I am sorry." Alicia apologizes.
"He is a level one though and none of my familia want to dive with him because of him wasting his talent and skill in there eyes. I think it would be good for you to possibly party with him." Hephaestus suggests and Loki immediately nods liking the idea. "Well, he should be available just let me send a runner to go get him. He also did help me with making the armor you are wearing Ryan. It was his idea to use the chainmail over the leather sleeves that tuck into the gauntlets."
"Well, I would like to meet him and get a feel for him as I will be probably heading into the dungeon with Bella a lot. I don't mind slowing down in order to get a party." Ryan says while looking at Alicia.
"It would be nice for Bella to have a party and I can tolerate working with a Crozzo for the day. It would also mean we could dip into floor twelve and they would both get even more Excelia from fighting there." Alicia explains while thinking. 'I would also be able to watch you and learn how you fight.'
"Well, I will have a runner go get Welf and then we can figure it out from there." Hephaestus says while motioning for a person behind her to run off and get Welf.
While they are waiting Loki and Hephaestus start talking about the kind of knife Bella would like and also getting her measurements so that Welf could make adjustments to the armor if needed. Ryan ends up overhearing the conversation as it is really quiet in the shop Bella has 36C chest a slim waist at 31 inches honestly, he already knew she was attractive but she is seventeen so that was a complete no go and he already thought her aunt was attractive but then again, he has yet to see an unattractive woman in this world which is really annoying (Has not met Ishtar's Captain). Well at least in terms of looks personality there are plenty of not good picks. That even expands to the goddesses. Ishtar is a prime example. He only met her once when he was walking around the city and learning about the city and gods damn, she is such a bitch.
After waiting for twenty minutes the runner finally came back with Welf and he gets introduced to everyone. Loki and Hephaestus decide that Welf should go into the dungeon with Bella depending on how today's dive goes. After settling that they are going down Ryan walks over to Bella and hands over his two of his daggers for her to get used to using them and then looks over and ask if Alicia needs anything for there dive. Alicia says no and they are off to the dungeon.
In the dungeon Ryan has Alicia play support with her magic for Bella and Welf in the vanguard as he plays supporter for them. They make it down to floor six and Bella gets her first introduction to frog shooters to where she almost loses one of the knives that Ryan is letting her borrow. "Watch out for the tongues of the frogs they shoot out and can grab you." Ryan says while casually kicking a frog shooter in the head and it flies back and hits the wall exploding into ash as it landed on a spike in the wall.
As they are on their way down to floor seven Alicia asks. "Hey Ryan, are we getting a lot of rarer drops compared to normal and what is with this girl she is actually pretty good with those daggers."
"Yes, we are, and I had a feeling that I just had to show her some things which is why I had Loki hold off on getting the dagger for now. I am going to show her how to use my short sword and get her a sword instead." Ryan says before doing exactly that. He only shows her the basics and tells her if she is having any problems that she can rely on Welf, Alicia or himself. As they make there way through floor seven, he watches as Bella is trying to put to much strength into the swings and is starting to tire out. He looks over to Welf and sees that he is running into the same problem. "Alicia our turn Welf, Bella fall back to Alicia. I'll take vanguard now. As he says this, he drops the supporters bag and blitzes by them and completely dismantles eighteen killer ants that had tried answering the call of its friend that Bella injured but didn't kill. As Ryan spins from them he stabs the wounded Killer in the head killing it outright.
"Ryan we should probably head up these two are really tired." Alicia calls out as she gives them low end stamina potions enough for them to get out of the dungeon before they need to take a break and sit down. "Valuable newbie rule if at all possible do not take long breaks in the dungeon and always keep an eye out for spawning monsters and for you Bella you have to be especially careful as some shady adventurers may try to target you because you are girl, and they might try and do things to you. I would suggest not coming down solo all that much until you level up as then they will know you are Loki familia and they won't even try anything. That or you could try to pretend and be Dragon Slayer here girlfriend." Alicia finishes with a joke but sees Bella blush full red as she peaks at Ryan out of the corner of her eyes and starts pushing her fingers together shyly. Alicia just starts giggling finding it funny how Ryan thinks of himself on a lower field then all the girls he is attracting.
"Come on pay attention in the dungeon. Rule number one of the dungeon. It doesn't play fair, and to never let your guard down. When you are down here it is life and death at all times." Ryan says while leading them out of the dungeon before they split off from Welf at the from of his place and then going back to Twilight manor and finding out that there is a Banquet of the Gods tonight in celebration of Monsterphillia so before Loki heads off to the party Ryan tells her sword and gives the dimensions of the sword that would fit Bella while also giving Loki a note with the sizes and sketch of the blade that he did while Welf and Bella were killing things. He also wrote on the note to use a piece of the Dragon and add Mithril and Adamantine and that it should be covered by his personal account.
Before Loki gets to leave, she updates both Bella's and Ryan's status.

Magic
Dragon Tongue – Various effects depending on Chant used. (Dragon Tongue is only one spell even though it has multiple effects depending on chant. The reason behind his magic being shouts from Skyrim is that is how he envisioned magic don't worry about it being to overpowered due to him not utilizing his magic all that often due to the huge mind/mana requirements. He will us some more often then others and some have less mind consumption. IE Whirlwind Sprint Wuld Nah Kest. The words can also be broken down to the first word for less strength of the effect and less mind costs. Example being instead of Wuld Nah Kest Ryan could use just Wuld or Wuld Nah for thirty seconds of enhanced movement for Wuld and forty seconds for Wuld Nah but that is at level one as a level three you'll have to find out.)
