Fanfiction Overview: "Danmachi: The Hero Begins"

Written by: Argonaute Hunter

Welcome to "Danmachi: The Hero Begins", an epic adventure inspired by the captivating universe of Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka (Danmachi). This fanfiction is a personal reinvention where the awakening of a hero takes on new proportions. Between dungeon exploration, thrilling combat, and complex intrigues, my story seeks to deepen the universe that we all love, while bringing my own unique touch to it.

The story is divided into several arcs, each playing a crucial role in building the universe and developing the characters.

In the first volume, we dive into the heart of the central arc, an essential foundation that establishes the foundation of the story. While faithful to the spirit of Danmachi, this version puts more emphasis on underexploited characters, notably Syr, and explores themes rarely touched on in the original work.

Structure of the arcs of the first volume:

Arc 1: The Beginning

This is where it all begins. Bell Cranel, a young adventurer driven by the dream of becoming a hero, discovers the brutality and wonders of the dungeon. However, behind the obvious dangers, mysterious forces are at work, and each choice he makes brings him closer to a destiny he does not yet have the strength to understand. The introduction of Freya, and the increase in appearances of Syr Flova.

Arc 2: ... (To be named according to your development)

This is where my story or fanfiction will actually begin.

After the pivotal events of Goliath, Bell enters a phase of rebuilding and reflection. It is no longer just a matter of becoming stronger, but of understanding who he is and what he is willing to sacrifice to protect what he holds dear. Syr takes center stage, revealing facets of his personality that might surprise even the most attentive readers.

About the story

"Danmachi: The Hero Begins" stands out for its multi-part narrative approach:

Part 1 sets the foundations of the story and introduces the arcs that will shape the universe and the characters.

Part 2, beginning after the fight against the Goliath, marks the true beginning of the story proper, where the stakes take on a new dimension.

As a newbie writer, I am honored to share this adventure with you. My goal is to create an experience rich in emotions, strategic combat, and intense moments, while remaining true to the soul of Danmachi. I hope you enjoy this exploration of new horizons through the eyes of Bell and the other characters.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. May the gods watch over you in the dungeon!

For those new who don't know

Here is a summary of the Danmachi universe:

"Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka", often abbreviated as Danmachi, is a series set in the fantasy city of Orario, a place where adventurers flock to explore the gigantic Dungeon, a mysterious underground structure filled with monsters and treasures.

In this universe, the gods have chosen to descend to Earth, abandoning their divine powers to live among mortals. These gods form Familias, groups of adventurers whom they bless with a Falna, a divine blessing that transforms the efforts of mortals into measurable statistics, as in a role-playing game. These statistics allow adventurers to become stronger by facing the dangers of the Dungeon.

Orario: The City at the Heart of Adventure

The city is organized around the Tower of Babel, a huge structure that overlooks the entrance to the Keep.

Each Familia has its own dynamics and influence in the city, with alliances, rivalries, and diverse goals.

Adventurers come from all walks of life, dreaming of wealth, glory, or strength, but they must survive the monsters, traps, and political intrigues that roam Orario.

Bell Cranel: A Hero's Dream

The story follows Bell Cranel, a young adventurer and sole member of the Hestia Familia, led by the goddess Hestia. Bell dreams of becoming a legendary hero, but he starts at the bottom of the ladder, facing the dangers of the Dungeon and his own limitations.

The Dungeon: A Living Mystery

The Dungeon is not just a labyrinth of monsters; it is a living organism, which reacts to the actions of adventurers and conceals secrets still unknown, including the existence of deep floors where only the most experienced adventurers dare to venture.

Danmachi Themes

Danmachi explores themes such as:

Personal growth and the challenges of surpassing oneself.

The relationships between mortals and deities, with their emotional and philosophical implications.

The balance between dreams of glory and the brutal reality of combat.

A World of Fighting and Intrigue

Beyond the Dungeon, the story also delves into the intrigues between Familias, the plots of the gods, and the mysteries of the universe. Each encounter and battle brings Bell closer to his dream, while discovering that becoming a hero is a task far more complex than he had imagined.
