For 1000 years, the gods descended into the genkai to form their families with mortals, granting them the falna given by the gods, granting them a status where humans and other superior races broke their limits beyond the mortal, also because of the restrictions.
The Gods had their divine powers restricted and it was strictly forbidden to use them except in emergencies, Likewise they would have to pay a fine in the guild of the central city of the world, Orario The dungeon city.
What they didn't know is that inside a dungeon there was an object that should not exist, nor appear, it was a golden cup with seven gems around it known as The Holy Grail, an object capable of granting you any wish no matter how impossible it is granted, now said object was in the hands of a young albino with red eyes measuring 1.65cm tall.
Said young man had just gone through the most traumatizing event of his life as a beginner adventurer, he was chased by a minotaur, a dungeon monster capable of finishing off level 2 and 3 adventurers, which is usually found on the lower floors of the dungeon.
Pov Bell Cranel
Two weeks have passed since I became a member of the Hestia family after wandering around for a couple of weeks looking for a family, I don't remember why so many times I was kicked out due to my appearance, my size and also because I didn't look intimidating in any way.
When I was finally giving up, that's when the goddess Hestia found me and as we are both in similar situations, she without a family and I am a goddess, I became her first member and she became my family.
The first days in the dungeon were quite difficult, especially the goblins and the Kobolds, as the goblins are the size of a palum, they are easier to kill by aiming directly at their head or neck, the Kobolds on the other hand are too much for me still no matter what I try I can't operate with more than two at the same time, if carr are a big problem and their jaw too.
The good thing is that little by little I got used to their attack patterns and their movements, although I don't care that the path to become a hero is going to be really difficult, especially being just a level one previous time.
After joining my goddess, I began to live in an abandoned church, it was very dirty and poorly cared for and we had a sofa and a quilt simply to sleep, although that is an important count of having something that is a roof.
Then I went to register at the guild where I previously met a half-elf named Eina Tulle, she is like an encyclopedia on top of the dungeon floors according to my level and with my stats I can only be on floors one to four where the goblins and kobolds are.
Well, but at this moment I am breaking the rules, everything is for my advisor since at this moment I am on the 5th floor of the dungeon and I am not supposed to be so quiet.
- Do you want to be a hero? - and where did that voice come from, I seem to hear it over there.
Pov Third Person
Bell began to walk towards the edges of the 5th floor where he had previously heard that voice, his steps became silent when an inaudible whisper kept shouting if he wanted to be a hero, Bell let himself be carried away by the same whisper and ended up in front of a wall with a completely different appearance to the entire 5th floor.
- Aren't the walls of the dungeon supposed to be light green? - he wondered, as his hands approached and began to feel the chaparas, yellow turning to gold.
Without paying attention to anything, Bell kept touching and chaparé without realizing that behind him was a monster with an appearance similar to a bull walking slowly towards him.
The sounds of footsteps were getting closer and closer to where the albino was and little by little he began to realize, the minotaur bellowed, it consumed my right arm, proceeded to attack Bell.
Seeing if he was in danger and with a quick movement he barely dodged the arm of the minotaur, he hit the wall hard and destroyed it, remaining as a mound of stones around the floor of the dungeon.
Ven was preparing to run when a metallic sound caught his attention, his red eyes turned in the direction of the minotaur and under his feet was a golden cup with seven crystals.
Bell was scared to death, his breath was short, his body trembled but his eyes did not detach from that golden cup, Ven did not know what it was intuition some sixth sense but his body asked him, shouted at him to grab that cup and escape.
Following his body's orders Bell accelerated his pace as a minotaur, the minotaur noticing Bell's approach towards him bellowed and prepared to intercept him, the albino began his approach with his body against the wall of the dungeon to prepare for any attempt to hit him by the minotaur.
The minotaur approached quickly without Bell noticing and with both arms he attacked the albino directly, he with a failed attempt to dodge received an impact around his ribs and went flying, hitting hard against the wall, his bones sounded and a large amount of blood came out of his lips staining his shirt and leaving a small puddle on the floor, 5 m further on from Bell's body was the golden cup, upon seeing the golden cup Ven took his hands to his mouth and removed the rest of the blood and cleaned his face, his eyes looked at a cup and began to approach.
"It hurts, my ribs hurt a lot but I have to grab it, I don't know what it will be but my instinct tells me that I have to grab it if I want to become a hero, Bell go ahead Bell" the albino was giving himself mental support as he crawled towards the cup and with his bloodied hands he held it.
The minotaur prepared to give the final blow with his right leg directly on the back of the albino, Bell without celebrating grabbed the cup tightly to his body to get up.
When he managed to stand up he began to run at all the speed that his wounded body gave him without looking back to not observe the minotaur that pursues him, without realizing it Bell began to think of thousands of scenarios where he ended up dead by that minotaur without achieving his dream and other scenarios where someone appeared to save him.
A minute had barely passed and his body couldn't take it anymore, Bell began to lose energy and his steps became slower and slower, the ruby eyes noticed the minotaur right behind him preparing to hit him.
Without opening and without warning after having been hit with force, crashing directly against another wall of the dungeon, being injured but without letting go of the cup.
"So my life is going to end here, I'm sorry grandfather, I'm sorry Kami-Sama, I can't take it anymore, my body can't take it anymore, I hope someone could save me" Bell prayed while his eyes watched as he approached him.
- That's all you're going to do, that's what your dream is worth to you, you didn't want to be a hero, you didn't want to save a lady and a dungeon, you didn't want to become like that hero who fought against the minotaur with his Jupiter sword - that voice sounded again trying to see him get up but his body couldn't take it anymore.
"You're right, I still can't give up, even if my body can't take it anymore, my mind while I fight and manage to kill the minotaur, I can go back to my Kami-Sama and continue my dream" Bell thought as he took out his knives, forcing his legs, managing to stand up.
Holding back the pain and breathing badly, Bell accelerated, he began to run to do minotaur, attacking directly from his neck with all the strength he had left and hitting directly without resistance, when he was going to celebrate both knives broke, the minotaur with a quick movement hit him again, crashing him again against the wall of the dungeon.
Blood splashed on the golden chalice and all its crystals began to shine, among them a blood red energy began to speak from that golden cup.
Bell despised himself as he complained about being weak, he lamented for not having listened to his advisor for not having trained more, even more he despised himself for not being stronger and not being able to fulfill his dream, Bell knew that he was going to die at the hands of the minotaur but at least if we are going to fight, breaking like a little child for not having achieved his dream.
When the minotaur was preparing to kill him, in front of Bell appeared a man with blue hair and red eyes wearing a blood red shirt, a full body suit, dark ultramarine in color with protections that Bell did not know, he also wore metal shoulder pads, a metal plate, lower abdominal section, his blue hair was tied with a rat tail, he wore silver earrings in my ears.
Bell watched the man who gave off a beastly instinct, he clenched his spear and it began to shine blood red intensely as he aimed it at the minotaur.
The minotaur, feeling the imminent danger, bellowed with force and attacked the man in blue directly, the energy around began to approach the dance and the man with a war cry threw his spear at the minotaur.
- Gae Bolg!!! -
The blood red light shone, leaving the section of the dungeon a red color while the spear advanced towards the minotaur, he continued advancing towards Bell who at the same time wrote the spear by centimeters, when he was preparing to kill Bell and the man in blue, time began to stop and the blood red spear returned to the hands of the blue man and the same attack was executed again, which pierced him directly in the chest, killing him instantly.
I'm going to believe that attack was like in fairy tales where the heroes had their final attack to finish off their enemies, he didn't understand what had happened with the spear or how the minotaur had died until disintegrating but he does know one thing, that was incredible, Bell squeezed the golden cup as he stood up to introduce himself to the man in front of him but before he could speak he was interrupted.
- So you are my master? - the man speaks while his eyes watch Bell from head to toe.
- Master, what does that mean? - Bell asked, earning a sigh from the man in blue mayas.
- Are you a novice master? My name is Lancer, it's a pleasure to meet you, master - Lancer introduced himself as he slightly bowed his body.
- My name is Bell Cranel, level one adventurer affiliated with the Hestia family - Bell introduced himself and lancer was confused by the term adventurer and family but did not ask for the moment.
- Check your right hand - the man in mayas ordered and Bell obeyed, being impressed by the marks on his hand.
- This is a tattoo! - Bell shouted surprised, earning a scolding from the man in mayas.
- In command, you can give me three orders whether it is to kill someone, commit suicide or kill you - Upon hearing that Bell opened his eyes - I would never order you to commit suicide - affirmed Ben with determination not because he had total control over him but because he admired him and because he was his savior.
- Since you don't know anything about that cup you have in your hands and about what is Master and servan, I will follow you wherever you stay and I will explain - Lancer ordered as both of them left the fifth floor of the dungeon without forgetting the minotaur's stone.
Both climbed all the floors of the dungeon in an hour due to the wounded bell, they walked more slowly, Lancer to cross massacred all the monsters in his path as they went up with his spear.
For a while, I salute the dungeon and Bell helped direct Lancer towards the abandoned church where he lives with his family, But they, without realizing it, were followed by a golden-haired girl who observed almost everything that they both went through.
