Synopsis
[edit]Setting
[edit]The story takes place in the fictional city of Orario. The city is home to a number of Gods who, seeking excitement, chose to limit their divine powers in order to experience the hardships of those who reside on the mortal world. Each God maintains a retinue of adventurers and support personnel drawn from the people of the city known as a Familia (ファミリア, Famiria). The primary activity of these organizations is exploring the labyrinth under the city known as the Dungeon (ダンジョン, Danjon) in order to battle monsters and harvest the crystal shards they leave behind when destroyed. These shards are used to craft magic items and other treasures; however, they can also be exchanged directly for the world's currency. In a fashion typical of role playing games, the power of an adventurer is quantified by their level and a number of ability scores. By defeating more powerful monsters, an adventurer is able to increase their own level and ability scores, as well as unlock special powers known as skills.[6][7]
Plot
[edit]The story follows the adventures of Bell Cranel, a 14-year-old rookie adventurer and sole member of the Hestia Familia. He looks up to Ais Wallenstein, a famous and powerful swordswoman of the Loki Familia, and vows to become as strong as her following a chance encounter where she saves his life from a powerful monster. He ends up unknowingly developing a special ability known as "Liaris Freese", granting him a rapid growth in strength as a result of his feelings. As Bell goes on adventures in his quest to become stronger, he ends up catching the attention of many others in the series, alongside the romantic affections of other girls, deities, and mortals alike, most notably Hestia herself.
