[A/N: Alright, I know many of you guys probably want to scream and scold me with, "everyone starts at I0" yadda yadda, but you see, unlike others, Ryuta was not born and raised in this world. He was NOT reincarnated and the circumstances surrounding his reincarnation is- Honestly? I wanted Ryuta to start at 0, why? That makes any improvements he has even more OP but! To those that don't understand what happened in the prologue, Ryuta cut through the void, he cut through dimensions and he went from the Nasuverse, to the world of Danmachi "USING HIS OWN POWER". Now, tell me, how exactly is this not a GOD? Well, a simply character sheet would explain, but that's the mystery! Ryuta cut through dimensions! He world traveled using his own power! Why is he still a weak ass piece of shit?! Trust me, I didn't really want to do this but where's the fun in making him OP? This isn't a smut fic titled "Is it wrong to fuck girls in a dungeon?". Anyway, there's a reason why his stats are the way they are, I had to nerf him given his feats. Also, to those who don't know fate or had yet to play Samurai Remnant, spoiler, cutting through the void is an act that is infinitely close to true magic, I.E. Ryuta had touched the realm of God's in the Nasuverse and- he did it consciously]

The status Ryuta had was nowhere near the level of a Rookie, hell he was already at the level of an average adventurer! Although he ha yet to reach level 2-

"Hey… I'm not really sure of it but…"

"Hestia, you're first familia could easily jump to level 2… though- it seems all he needs is some high-rank excelia and he could immediately become a level 2 but-"

"But?"

"I think you should see how far he can improve his abilities first… maybe he could reach S before jumping to level 2…"

The two Goddess, despite showing shock were still able to calmly analyze Ryuta's abilities but all the unfamiliar words made the man scratch his head and ask-

"Uhm… I could understand leveling up but what the hell is excellia and what do you mean I could level up immediately?"

The two Goddesses turned to give each other a knowing look before they explained to Ryuta, as quickly as they could, what his stats detailed.

In essence, the stats familia members are ranked from I to S, I being a big fat 0 to 99 while the highest S was at 900 to 999.

[A/N: Quick note about the stats as I could already see it, with my observation haki, the fingers dancing on the keyboard and phone screens- Some people may start commenting but I will have to write this for the uneducated, before complaining about Bell having SS+ stats, remember, Bell Cranel is not the rule, he's an exception, with his cheat that allowed him to go from level 1 to level 5 in half a year while Aiz, with all her cheats took 1 year to get from level 1 to level 2. Please, Bell Cranel is an MC, he's not going to go by the rules, the rules bend for him much like all the women do- ahem… anyway common knowledge is that the max is S, so, even if- historically ONE PERSON, was able to get past S and get SS+, again, they are the exception.

This note has gone too long and I just wanted to clarify and make sure that everyone keeps this in mind. Yes the MC is a cheat but the God's and even the MC does not know this. Anyway, thank you for listening to my TED Talk]

Moreover, it was the norm for people to start at I0 whenever they awakened, Ryuta, who already had stats that could allow him to level up was- an anomaly.

In fact, if it weren't for the lack of excelia proving that he had not really been given Falna before, the two Goddesses would have believed that he had prior experience being under another familia!

If that wasn't enough, he also had three skills and one developmental ability!

The skills were bad but the worst part was the developmental ability! 

The norm was to get one after reaching level 2, although not unheard of (again), it was possible to get one at level 1 but it was extremely, extremely rare. 

That is not even mentioning that the developmental ability that Ryuta had was-

[Mystery]

A powerful ability, one that barely five- no, now it was six people having it in Orario-

Upon being told all this, Ryuta's reaction was-

"Damn… am I special or am I SPECIAL!"

He grinned as he pointed at himself, showing off his back before grabbing onto Hestia as he declared-

"Hestia-sama! With me as your first Familia, I promise to turn the Hestia Familia into one of the strongest in Orario- no the WORLD! HAHAHAHA"

Hearing his declaration, Hephaestus simply let out a sigh as she said-

"Well before you do that, you should find out a way to make money first"

"Hm?"

Ryuta turned to Hestia, his face showing confusion but his Goddess simply turned her head away in shame leaving Ryuta to seek an explanation from Hephaestus who calmly explained-

"Hestia had just descended not long ago, not only does she not have a place to stay- she also doesn't have money. Now, all she has is you and the clothes on her back"

Hearing her explanation, Ryuta showed a thoughtful look before responding to Hephaestus, his expression filled with confidence as he said-

"Well then, would you mind letting us borrow some cash? Maybe the Great Goddess of Smithing has a workshop that she's not really using… I'm quite skilled in crafting weapons if I do say so myself."

Hearing the confidence in the words of Ryuta made Hephaestus let out a sigh as she said-

"It seems she really got herself a good child, if it's you- don't worry, I have just the place for you-"

▬▬ι═════════════ﺤ 

"Well… it could have been worse"

Ryuta stared at the crumbling church before his eyes, it was not much, in fact, it was covered in moss and greenery-

"Not that bad… I mean- very naturalist, really vibes with your style Hestia-sama" (◠ᴗ◠)

"?" (✿•́ -•̀)?

Seeing the confused look on the Loli-goddesses face, Ryuta shook his head as he went to inspect the church-

"Although it's dilapidated, the structure's well put together, unless a bomb hits it it won't explode- the foundation's sturdy enough and… hmm… this will do"

As he said that, Ryuta stretched out his hand, to the astonished gaze of Hestia, a cane manifested.

It had a beautiful azure jewel on its tip and its shaft was pit black. 

A heavy aura of destruction and power emanated from the cane causing Hestia to shiver-

"Oh! This is my magic staff! It's shaft is made from the core of a century old thunderstruck aspen while the gem was condensed from a dying dragon vein. Took me two months to make and its one of my greatest creations!"

Ryuta explained the cane to the dumbstruck Hestia as he began tapping it onto the walls and columns each time he tapped on a part of the crumbling church, a magic circle would manifest and imprint itself on the spot.

The magic circle showed complex symbols and runes, all of which were unfamiliar to Hestia but she didn't really bother. 

This only showed how skilled Ryuta was and the fact that he was doing this on their new "home" was something akin to "care".

A faint blush appeared on the Goddess's cheeks as she thought of Ryuta doing this to protect her.

'It's really dangerous, if the information about God's and Familia's Hephaestus and Hestia told me were all true then…'

Ryuta took a glance at the blushing Goddess, he did not know what was going on in her head but he had a faint idea on what it was. 

'I don't know if this was the best choice but…'

A smirk appeared on his lips, completing his preparations he stood at the podium, a crimson magic circle appeared below his feet.

'My magecraft is not magic, nor is it true magecraft, the mystery I hold is my own, the source is my own being… I've long hit my limits in the Nasuverse but-'

Ryuta turned his gaze towards Hestia, he gave her a warm smile as he extended his hand, inviting her to come to him.

Hestia did not hesitate, Ryuta was doing this for their future, the virgin Goddess, kind and naive, grabbed onto Ryuta's hand and at that moment-

"Hestia-sama, are you willing to form a contract with me?"

"Hm? Why? Aren't we already family?"

"... yes… it seems I'm just a bit- unfamiliar with having… family"

Hearing the words that came out of Ryuta's mouth, Hestia's smile faltered, a sad look washed over her eyes before changing to a look of a mother looking at her child. 

Despite looking like a loli, Hestia, at this moment gave off the aura of a Goddess of the Hearth. Her warm aura that exuded familial love wrapped around Ryuta and-

"Don't worry Ryuta- my child, I promise to love you forever"

Hestia calmly said as she gave Ryuta a hug, her body was unable to exert too much power but her authority as a Goddess, her domain had given Ryuta a weird stuffy feeling. It was as if he was being wrapped in love- heavy love-

"That's heavy…"

Ryuta whispered as he activated his magecraft-

🕭 ting 🕭

The sound of bells chimed as the whole church was enveloped by an invisible flame, a bright, warm flame-

Mystical symbols appeared all over the church before disappearing seconds later and- as if nothing happened, the church returned to its usual glow but there was an unmistakable mystique that now enveloped the dilapidated church.

"Hestia-sama, from now on, it's best if you stay here- at least, until we get more reliable family members"

Ryuta spoke with a calm tone but Hestia shook her head, she gave Ryuta willful look as she declared-

"NO! I will also work! I won't let Ryuta-kun suffer alone! We're a family after all!"

Seeing her expression, Ryuta wanted to "fool" her, in fact, he had a hundred ways to do so but-

'...'

His mind blanked out, he suddenly found himself unable to refuse her-

"Hm~ I'll go look for a job now! Don't worry Ryuta! You can go to the Guild! I'm sure you can manage!"

With those words, Hestia rushed out of the church but not before Ryuta was able to snap out of his stupor and leave a "trace" on her-

Watching his Goddess leave in a flurry, Ryuta found himself looking at the ground, a magic circle appeared but-

Unlike his original magic circle filled with runs, this one had a different core, in place of the symbol that was his own origin, the core of the magic circle had turned into a-

"Hearth…"

Letting out a sigh, Ryuta observed the other magic formations he had set up and found that everything was adjusted. They were not completely changed but just… slightly modified-

"Well… I guess I should- nah~ it would really be fun to watch some kid call Hestia "mommy"... so I'll leave it at that"

With a smirk, Ryuta walked out of the church, his steps silent and his movement undetectable. If there were anyone watching him or standing by him, they would be shocked at how Ryuta suddenly vanished- like a ghost- he walked through the city-

His goal-

The guild…
