Hello everyone,

So this is an idea I have had ever since reading Dark Bell By Azer03 on this site. Bell is 13 because he was born 5 years before Zeus and Hera set off to complete the three Great Quests.

There will be obvious similarities as I based the first portion of it. However it should become apparent that there are significant differences in the stories by the end.

First thank you all for the comments and reviews. I was not expecting it to get the traction it did.

I have some general ideas of the direction that I will be be taking the story eventually. I am planning another dark world version of the Danmachi universe, however this time it will most focus on Orario (unlike A Light Amidst the Darkness which will be focusing on the world outside Orario for a while).

I have more or less completed the re-writes of chapter 1 and 2. Those can be considered completely done now. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Also I finally made a full story description below.

DISCLAIMER: Danmachi belongs to its respective owners. This story is a fan-made depiction of a fan what-if route of the original work and the characters in it abide by the fictional laws in the setting. All chapter will be made publicly available and under no circumstance will there be a pay wall requirement. All fan-fiction creations are meant merely as free to consume entertainment.

In the sprawling city of Orario, where gods mingle with mortals and adventurers seek glory, a new tale unfolds. Imagine a world where Bell, the courageous young hero, never left Orario but instead stayed by his mother's side. What if Bell had remained in Orario with his mother and ended up forming the Erebus Familia with Alfia and Zard during the Dark Age?

As the wheel of fate turns, the familiar events of the Danmachi universe take on a new Bell's departure, the threads of destiny become entangled, and the course of Orario's history is forever altered. Will the familiar faces he once crossed paths with still follow the same path? Or will their destinies take an unexpected turn, influenced by the presence of the Erebus Familia?

As the ripples of change spread throughout the world of Orario and beyond, the consequences of this spin of the wheel of fate will reverberate far and wide.

The delicate balance of power is disrupted, and the entire realm of Genkai shall feel the impact.

Prepare to be enthralled as this story weaves a tale of adventure, friendship, and the unforeseen consequences of choices made. Dive into a world where the wheel of fate has begun to spin in unpredictable ways and discover how the lives of beloved characters are forever shaped by the presence of the Erebus Familia.

Will Bell and his companions find the same trials and triumphs they once faced? Or will their journey take them down an entirely different path, filled with new allies, formidable adversaries, and unforeseen challenges? The wheel of fate is set in motion, and the world of Orario will never be the same again.
