'Is this how it ends? Not bad I think.' A young man thought in the middle of the street, covered in blood.

The boy was on his way home from school and excited about the new episodes of his favorite anime, but he was involved in a car accident caused by a drunk driver who lost control. His black hair was sticky with blood and his white shirt was red with blood.

'I hope that after I die I go to a different world from the main story that I haven't seen before, or if I have seen it, it's an alternative. Maybe I will have a place full of beautiful girlfriends and people I can call family. Maybe I would even have a cheat system, just like those reincarnated anime protagonists. That would be the best wish for an orphan like me in the next life.' Boy thought an his eyes closed.

"I guess I need a name huh. I'm leaving my old life behind and I'm going to live my new life in this world so let's see the name... Aiden Kurogane. That's it! My name is Aiden Kurogane."

"Yes."

[Name change successful]

"Skills."

"No active or passive skill huh?" Aiden thought.

"By the way... Where am I?" Aiden looked around for a while but couldn't see anything until he looked up and saw the building from the anime and the city just below it.

"DanMachi! I haven't seen much of this anime and I don't know much about the events, I think I've only seen the first season, but it's impossible not to recognize this city and this dungeon." Aiden said and rushed towards the city.

"Huff... Huff... My stamina is very bad."

[Fatigue: 40]

"What?! I just ran to the city and I'm already 40 in fatigue. Man I need to strengthen myself or I will never be in a familia." 

[There are two unread messages.]

[Congratulations on becoming a [Player] (unread)]

[[Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong] is now available. (unread)]

"Okay start with the first one."

[Congratulations on becoming a [Player] (opening)]

[This System will support the growth of the 'Player.']

"Well, it's all as it should be. First, let's find a place to stay, and then I'll finish this mission and get my stat points." So Aiden went to the door and stood in the long line in front of the door and there was a white-haired boy right in front of him.

After a long time Aiden was almost at the door and there was only one person in front of him.

"Name?" Gate keeper asked.

"Bell Cranel." The boy in front of Aiden answered.

'What? Bell Cranel? Isn't he the protagonist? If I remember correctly, if he is entering Orario now, canon started 21 days after Bell entered Orario. So it's 21 days to canon.' Aiden thought.

While Aiden was thinking, it was already his turn.

"Name?"

"Aiden Kurogane."

"Do you have an ID?"

"No. I came hear from a little village in far east so I don't have an ID."

"All right, take this and go to the guild and they'll make you fill out a form and give you your ID." Gate keeper said and give Aiden a paper.

Aiden then asked for directions and headed for the Guild.

He soon arrived in front of the guild and went inside. It was just like in the anime and it was actually a bit crowded.

For a while he looked around inside and at the receptionists and searched for an available one. That's when he witnessed Bell talking to Eina.

'Eina Tulle, as far as I remember, is supposed to be half elf and she was not old, so she should be young even in human terms.' Aiden thought.

After a while a reception emptied and Aiden suddenly jumped out.

"Welcome to the Guild, how can I help you?" A female half-human in a guild uniform with red hair and yellow eyes said to Aiden.

"Um hello, I arrived in the city today and was told that I had to register, so I came." Aiden said and gave the paper that gate keeper gave him.

"All right, here you go." The receptionist said and handed Aiden a form and a pen.

"Um by the way I want to register as a adventurer too what am I supposed to do?" Aiden asked.

"Fill in that form, it already says what you will do in the city, etc. Fill it in and bring it and then we will take care of your registration." Guild receptionist said.

Aiden took the paper and started filling it out. The paper actually asked for quite simple information. Name, age, what he wanted to do, gender, race etc.

Aiden filled it up and took it back. The same receptionist was still there and Aiden went there again.

"Hello me again, I filled this." Aiden gave the paper back. The receptionist examined it for a moment, then took it to the back and soon came back with a card.

"This is your citizen card and your adventurer registration is done. Now I will briefly tell you about guild rules and important things to follow." The receptionist told Aiden and explained dozens of rules.

(Few Minutes Later)

"And that's all."

"Thanks for explanation. You said in the rules that adventurers can choose advisors, how does that work?"

"We don't exactly choose the adventurer, we agree with the adventurer as partners. After all, no employee wants to be constantly confronted with a customer they don't like, or a customer with an employee they don't like, and they don't want to follow advice."

"So can I have an advisor?"

"I'll keep you waiting a while." She said and went to the back rooms.

(Back Rooms)

"Rose-san what happened?" pink haired girl asked.

"Misha-san, a new adventurer has signed up and wants a advisor, what do you say?" Rose named receptionist said.

"I'm sorry, Rose-san, but I have adventurers to take care of too."

"What is happening here?" A silver-haired elf and Eina came with her and the silver-haired elf asked.

"Sophie-san, Rose-san registered a new adventurer and now the adventurer wants a advisor and Rose-san was asking me." Misha told them.

"So Sophie-san, Eina what do you say?" Rose asked them.

"Sorry Rose but I have a lot of work too." Sophie said.

"I just took an adventurer so sorry about that." Eina said.

"Rose, I know you've advised a lot of adventurers before and they didn't end well, so you haven't taken anyone for a long time, but I think you should give it a chance." Misha said to comfort Rose.

"Sigh... Fine I'll take him."

And then Rose came back.

"Ahem! Sorry for waiting you. If you don't mind, I'll be your advisor."

"No problem at all, I hope we get along well, um?"

"It's Rose, Rose Fannett."

"Nice to meet you Rose-san. I hope we get along well."

"Nice to meet you too."

Afterwards, Rose talked about what she would be doing as a counselor and said that the guild was recruiting adventurers for the first night. Thus, Aiden's accommodation problem for the first night was solved.

Then Aiden went out and first looked for an empty alleyway and after a while he found it and immediately started doing the quest.

.

.

.

After finishing the hellish mission with lots of pain, Aiden collapsed from exhaustion and the system message came up.

[You've completed 'Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong'.]

[Completion rewards have arrived.]

[Would you like to confirm?] (Y/N)

"Yes."

[The following rewards are available.]

Reward 1. Status Recovery

Reward 2. +3 additional Stat points

Reward 3. One random box

[Would you like to collect them all?]

But suddenly another message came.

['Skill: Dash Lv. 1' has been learned.]

['Skill: Tenacity Lv. 1' has been learned.]

"What how did I earn these?" Aiden said but when he looked his clothes he noticed.

Aiden's clothes were drenched in sweat, but it wasn't normal sweating, it was wet, as if his clothes had been soaked in water.

"I think trying to finish this task like there is no tomorrow helped me to get these skills. But first: Accept the first reward."

[Status Recovery!]

[All fatigue is relieved.]

Suddenly a golden light enveloped Aiden's body and Aiden felt all the hunger and tiredness in his body go away.

"Wow that's really awesome."

"Accept remaining rewards."

[The rewards have been sent to inventory.]

Aiden looked at his status and saw his 3 stat points but decided not to distribute them right away. He then opened the inventory and picked up the Random box.

[Random Box is opening...]

The box in Aiden's hand opened and out came a T-shirt, a pair of pants and underwear. Of course, these were all clothes that were normal in DanMachi.

Aiden quickly moved to a dark place where no one could see him and changed. He sniffed his body and realized that Status Recovery also removed the smell of sweat. 

"That's better." Afterwards, Aiden tried to walk around the city and memorize it.

Until the evening, Aiden traveled around the city and went to many places, including the dungeon front, and he also applied for a few jobs, since he would have to pay for accommodation and food until he could increase his stats a bit with daily quests.

In the evening Aiden returned to the guild and asked for a room for the first night and spent the night in the room the guild arranged for him.
