Y'know, I have been playing through Cult of the Lamb on my Switch recently, and coincidentally reading a Danmachi fanfic, and so I was wondering: "What if these 2 mix together?", so here we are.
This fic will probably be purely based on the execution, considering how drastically different the Cult and the Familias are.
On one side, people have to learn how to survive with the cult, and most of the members are used to strengthen the Lamb. The Famillias are the opposite, giving their members "Falna", which they use to get stronger. Basically, Cult is for the Lamb and Familia is for the members.
Of course, you can make your cult friendly, like resorting to the "Grass-eating" perk instead of "CANNIBALISM", or choosing to give your members a break instead of forcing them to work 3 days in a row without any sleep, but it still doesn't come close to how stupid friendly the familias are.
I won't tell you everything, if you are interested, play the game or look up a guide.
It is kind of hard to mix the 2 together instead of throwing in a MC with some random fucking power, but I have a few ideas.
1: The Cult route.
The Cult will probably start off outside orairo, where exactly I have no idea. Either that or make the Lamb move his base to Orairo or somewhere near it. (like some kind of natural disaster, so that the Lamb has to start over from the beginning).
2: The bafflingly stupid route
This one is a bit outlandish, but as many people see the Lamb as an actual god (purely guessing), he actually gains Divinity and ascends into a higher realm. A few thousand years later, he descends and makes a familia.
3: The Red Crown route.
Make someone gain the red crown from either The one who waits (if he isn't dead) or The Lamb (who should be immortal, and thus impossible to die). The Red Crown gives the wearer the power of returning from death. It can also transform into a vareity of tools and weapons. (It might also be sentient, but it isn't confirmed)
All of the routes has it's strengths and it's flaws, choose whatever, or don't and make your own unique route that I didn't think of.
I just want to see a Lamb absolutely decimate all other gods and goddesses
P.s I used the he/him pronouns for the Lamb because I think he is a guy.(not sure)
P.P.s I don't think the Lamb would join any other Familias so I didn't include them
