Plot

The Dungeon - A mysterious place where adventurers seek out fame, fortune, or if not careful, a painful death. Monsters and traps are everywhere, as members of the Familias led by a god or goddess who gives their blessings to their followers, explore them. For Bell Cranel, a 14 year old adventurer of the smallest group (1), he has bigger plans: To pick up a girl.

Terminology

The Dungeon - A place in Orario where monsters and traps reside. There are many rumors and legends about the place as it is older than the gods and goddesses who reside in Orario. The floors become larger and the monsters more powerful the farther down you descend. No one knows how deep it goes.

Familia - Led by a god or goddess, they can be as large as hundreds of followers or as small as just one. There are many Familia's in the city and they serve a range of functions from Dungeon adventurers, to potion makers, to arms and armour craftsman. A new adventurer needs to be a member of a familia before they can join the Guild and enter the Dungeon.

Levels - There are 5 levels an adventurer can achieve. Levels are determined by the stats associated with each of the five basic abilities (Strength, Defense, Utility, Agility, Magic). Each ability has one of 10 ranks (S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H , I (high to low)) with the ability level ranging from 0 to 999 (0 to 99 is the I range, 100 to 199 is the H range, and so on). Upon leveling up an adventurer receives a major boost to all of their abilities (a level 2G is more powerful than a Level 1G).

Monsters - From the weakest goblin to the strongest Dragon, these creatures are born in the Dungeon and are ready to fight and kill those that venture into its depths. Most monsters reside on the floor they were born on and rarely leave it. Each monster has a magic shard embedded within them that the Guild buys from adventurers for use in magic items. Damaging the magic shard will automatically kill the monster but depletes any monetary value the shard may have held. Monsters sometimes leave behind a "drop item," a part of their body that contained stronger magic than the rest of the creature which remains behind after the rest of the monster has dissolved. Drop items are often sold as materials to familias that specialize in crafting items, armor and weapons.

Characters
