What happened in the Dungeon quickly spread to the ears of every Familia in Orario. And yet, the one responsible for all this walked hand in hand with his own goddess, returning quietly to their home.
The streets of Orario were still bustling with people. Humans weren’t the only ones—dwarves, beast humans, and elves were a common sight as well. The various auras radiating from each in...

Eina looked at the Adventurer complaining at the Guild with a puzzled expression.
"Yeah, Miss Eina. You wouldn't believe it—this all started early in the morning. It felt like the whole Dungeon was unleashing a Monster Parade."
The Adventurer gestured to the bandage wrapped around his hand.
"Look at this, Miss Eina. I got this i...

... 2025-06-07 19:04:35 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a faint bitterness in her chest—the sense that Hephaestus now shared a deeper understanding with Bell than she did. Hestia had never felt this kind of jealousy before, and it made her uncomfortable. Her eyes locked onto Hephaestus, and a strange emotion began to stir inside her.
But Hephaestus and Bell didn’t seem to notice.
"That's just because you're slow to catch on...
2025-06-07 19:04:09 +0000 UTC View Post"What exactly happened?"
A "Dungeon riot" is no small matter. There have been similar incidents in the past, but the most recent one I can recall was over a decade ago. Hephaestus remembers that day fairly well—it was when Zeus's Familia and Hera's Familia set out to slay the Black Dragon.
"Riots don't usually happen in the Dungeon. Normally, the worst you'd run into is a 'Monster...
2025-06-07 19:03:45 +0000 UTC View PostSure enough, as long as he kept a low profile, Bell blended right into the crowd—just another quiet, unremarkable kid who wasn’t great at socializing.
Staying with the crowd, Bell successfully made it out of the Dungeon.
As he glanced back at the grumbling adventurers behind him, he made a silent resolution.
‘I can’t let anyone find out that the Monster Parade on every...
2025-06-07 19:03:11 +0000 UTC View Post‘If it were the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, I wouldn’t be seeing it only after I attacked. And even then, I wouldn’t be seeing just one.’
After a brief analysis, Bell concluded that the white mark wasn’t a “death line.” It was something else—something he hadn’t considered.
‘What exactly is it?’
For the moment, he had no answer.
Still, Bell knew...
2025-06-07 19:02:47 +0000 UTC View PostAfter circling the first floor, the adventurers and supporters still hadn’t seen a single monster. It struck the adventurer as odd.
“Did someone already take care of all the goblins?”
The Dungeon was only just starting to become “lively,” and he was sure that normally no one would bother coming to the first floor. Goblins were low-tier monsters, and most adventurers who ha...
2025-06-07 19:02:23 +0000 UTC View Post“Zzzzt!”
A bolt of lightning streaked across the first floor of the Dungeon. As it passed, every Goblin in its path was instantly reduced to black ash, leaving behind only their Magic Stones and short swords as proof they’d ever existed.
“Clack, clack!”
Strange noises echoed from the walls. Dozens of holes suddenly opened in the once-smooth surface, each containing a...

The moment he heard the voice, Bell instinctively reached behind him to catch the goddess who had leapt onto his back. After being tackled like this dozens of times, his body reacted on its own. Though he felt the way he was holding her might be a bit impolite, since Goddess-sama didn’t mind and had given him permission, he had gradually gotten used to it.
"Bell-kun, a...
2025-06-07 19:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostSince the day he returned to the ruins of the church with the small black knife, Bell hadn't set foot in the Dungeon. He needed time for preparation, and to develop and study his new powers.
As for the nature of Bell's Awakening Magic, Hestia and Hephaestus had already reached a conclusion. Given how similar its application was to an Authority, they both agreed it was essentially a disgui...
2025-06-07 19:01:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Lightning Command???”
Bell’s expression twisted into confusion as he listened to Goddess-sama’s explanation. All he wanted was a magic that could transform his body into lightning—yet what he ended up with was “Lightning Command.” And once he learned it was categorized as both “Quick-Cast Magic” and “Lightning Manipulation,” he knew something wasn’t right. This wa...
2025-06-07 19:00:43 +0000 UTC View PostBell stared at the short sword in disbelief. A weapon with both “Indestructibility” and “Growth”? Wasn’t that basically cheating? It didn’t even need maintenance—just using it would make it sharper. Wasn’t this practically the same as a “pen that never runs out of ink”?
'The original said this weapon had the ability to grow, and Goddess-sama mentioned it too. But does ...
2025-06-07 19:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostWith his shirt removed, Bell sat on the floor, back facing them, as Hestia gently let her blood drip onto his back. A pale, white light began to slowly take shape. She was updating Bell’s Falna and synchronizing him with the short sword—this would make Bell its sole wielder.
But midway through the update, Hestia froze, her eyes locked onto a newly appeared entry in Bell’s magic sect...
2025-06-07 18:59:50 +0000 UTC View PostIt took nearly another full day before Bell finally woke from his sleep.
“Phew...”
The moment he opened his eyes, Bell let out a long breath—and immediately winced. A wave of foul air escaped his mouth, filling the room with an awful stench. Grimacing, he forced himself out of bed and hurried to open the window.
A refreshing breeze swept in, carrying away some of the ste...
2025-06-07 18:59:28 +0000 UTC View Post“Bell-kun~”
After finishing her morning wash-up, Hestia, barefoot and wearing a short white dress, bounced cheerfully into Bell’s room. But the moment she stepped inside, she froze. She’d expected that, after sleeping an entire day, Bell would have been up early. Yet here she was, already awake—and he was still lying in bed.
“Hestia, stop running around in the room.” 2025-06-07 18:59:02 +0000 UTC View Post
“Mmm...”
Early in the morning, Hestia slowly woke from a sweet dream. With the lingering thought of how soft and cozy the bed was, she lazily opened her eyes. But from the look on her face, she clearly had no intention of getting up.
The problem was, the other person in the room had had enough.
“Hey! Do you even know what time it is?”
Hephaestus glanced at Hestia...
2025-06-07 18:58:35 +0000 UTC View PostJust then, another Craft Essence appeared before Bell's eyes.
"Again!?"
This time, the Craft Essence turned into a beam of light and shot straight into Bell's brain. A wave of unprecedented coolness swept through his consciousness. The frantic nerve activity caused by his surging blood and flesh came to a halt. His heightened emotions were rapidly suppressed, giving way to a profoun...
2025-06-07 18:57:55 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Bell woke up again, it was already daylight.
‘It's morning? How long was I out?’
Groggy and disoriented, Bell rubbed his head and looked out the bright window.
He remembered everything from the night before—the Spell Tome, the counterparts, and the Black Dragon. But the whole situation was just too convoluted for him to think about clearly. Even though he experience...

"Lightning."

From the beginning, Bell had a feeling that his transmigration wasn’t just a matter of tapping a screen, but he hadn’t expected things to be this complicated. They were counterparts from entirely different worlds—beings who shouldn't have had any contact at all—yet here they were, meeting face to face.
‘Himself’ didn’t seem bothered by Bell’s silence. Anyon...
2025-06-07 18:56:17 +0000 UTC View PostAfter hesitating for a moment, the Craft Essence "Spell Tome" appeared in Bell's hand. In that instant, the Craft Essence transformed into a thick book, with the words “Spell Tome” written on the cover in Chinese—as if the author had been worried he wouldn’t be able to read it. The thoughtfulness of it left Bell slightly speechless. Honestly, he could read the script of this world just ...
2025-06-07 18:55:51 +0000 UTC View PostBell drew the card “Hydra Dagger.” The card-shaped Craft Essence instantly vanished, transforming into a silver-white dagger with dual blades and multiple barbs.
“So it really can materialize from a card. In that case, the Divine Construct I was imagining might not be just a fantasy after all. Still, it’s best not to pin too much hope on that holy sword. Just getting it would be g...
2025-06-07 18:55:24 +0000 UTC View PostAfter learning the situation, Bell didn’t go looking for Goddess-sama. She was currently resting at Hephaestus-sama’s place, so it wouldn’t have been appropriate for him to go over. Since it was already nighttime, he just lay down on his bed. This was his own time now, and it was the perfect chance to try out the gacha feature of the Type-Moon System.
‘Even though I’m 200 millio...
2025-06-07 18:54:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhen he woke up again, the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.
'I’m not in the church ruins.'
Bell immediately realized he wasn't where he had expected. He remembered working with Goddess-sama and Hephaestus-sama on forging the “200 million” short sword. But he couldn’t recall whether the blade had actually been completed. He must’ve passed out before it was fini...
2025-06-07 18:54:07 +0000 UTC View PostFor three days straight, Bell and Hestia stayed with Hephaestus's Familia to work on forging the weapon.
Bell once again chose a short sword. Compared to longswords or greatswords, short swords were what he was most familiar with. Suddenly switching to a completely different weapon was a serious mistake, and in terms of agility, short swords still offered the best flexibility. So yes—th...
2025-06-07 18:53:10 +0000 UTC View Post'Goddess-sama... your request is seriously over the line.'
Bell, standing behind them, couldn't help but hold his forehead. He had actually tried to talk Goddess-sama out of this idea before they came. Hephaestus-sama was the Goddess of Smithing—her forging skills were far beyond what any craftsman of this era could hope to match. Asking a god to personally forge a weapon? Honestly, eve...

Her Familia members are all Level 5, 6, or 7, so under normal circumstances, they won’t have direct contact with your child. And that woman only resorts to force when her softer tactics fail.

Hephaestus knew a bit about Freya’s personality. That woman preferred to disco...
2025-06-07 18:51:59 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough Hestia’s smug grin made Hephaestus itch with annoyance, she wasn’t truly upset. After all, they’d known each other for a long time. She understood that with someone as unique as Bell, Hestia had no choice but to show off a little—though only to someone she trusted. There was no way Hestia would dare flaunt him in front of others. She’d be targeted in an instant.

2025-06-07 18:51:25 +0000 UTC View PostIn the early evening, Hephaestus’ shop closed much earlier than usual. Normally, her forge was buzzing with activity well into the night—after all, for most adventurers, nighttime was just the start of their day. But today was different. Today, she had two guests who required her personal attention.
Hephaestus stared helplessly at the grinning idiot in front of her. She’d just seen ...
