Main characters
[edit]Bell Cranel
[edit]
- Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka[1] (Japanese); Bryson Baugus[2] (English)
- Bell Cranel[3] (ベル・クラネル, Beru Kuraneru, Anime: Bell Cranel) is a novice solo adventurer and member of the Hestia Familia.[ch. 1] The light novel chapter sections often alternate between his narrative and a third-person perspective.[LN 2] He has white hair and red eyes and his weapon is a pair of daggers. Bell is the sole owner of the rare skill called Liaris Freese (憧憬一途, Riarisu Furēze) which accelerates his growth and development based on the strength and stability of his feelings, but also drawing the interest of those who are curious about the secret behind it, as he quickly grew from level 1 to level 2,[ch. 1][LN 1] and later to level 3, then level 4 in the span of only a few months.[LN 6] When he obtained level 2, he gained another skill...Argonaut. This skill allows him to greatly empower his attacks on critical situations, born from his desire to become a hero.[LN 4] He aspires to become as strong as Ais whom he is in love with, because he doesn't feel he is worthy to confess his feelings to her until he does so. This leads him to instinctively run away whenever he encounters her,[ch. 2] until they become friends. His dream is to have a chance encounter with a girl and become a hero just like in the stories he listened from his grandfather, who is later revealed to be the god Zeus himself.[LN 1]. He is aware that other girls are also attracted to him, but does not reciprocate any of their feelings at all, and only considers Ais as his true mate.
- After the events with Wiene, he becomes shunned and considered a traitor in the eyes of Orario for protecting the Xenos from extinction. As he works to help them he faces his deadliest opponent, the girl he admires most. He is the primary wielder of the Hestia Knife (value 200,000,000 valis [4]). This weapon is a living weapon made by Hephaestus as a favor to Hestia to help Bell grow and will grow more powerful as he does. In the hands of anyone not of the Familia the knife is useless, but Mikoto was able to locate it using her skill since she is part of the familia and able to use it escaping the Ishtar compound.[4] Currently he reached level 5 during the middle of the War Game against the Freya Familia.
- His nickname is Little Rookie (未完の少年, Ritoru Rūkī), though some also call him the vorpal rabbit (in reference to an exceptionally lethal creature in the lower 30's of the Dungeon that while small and fast, can take out even the toughest adventurers). As of his level 4 ascension, his alias was changed now known as Rabbit Foot (白兎の脚, Rabitto Futto).
Hestia
[edit]- Voiced by: Inori Minase[1] (Japanese); Luci Christian[2] (English)
- Hestia (ヘスティア, Hesutia) is Bell's resident deity, in charge of taking care of Bell's development as an adventurer. She is jealous of Bell's involvement with other girls' affairs, including Ais's, but is still in love with him, devoted to protecting him, and helping with his growth, even after learning that he only views her as family.[LN 5] She and Bell live in a room under an abandoned church, and she works part-time for the Guild as a clerk, and also at some food stands to help Bell with day-to-day living expenses,[LN 1] until moving to the former palace of the Apollon Familia upon defeating them in the War Game and claiming their assets. Wary about what could happen should the existence of Bell's special trait be revealed to the world, she keeps it a secret from everyone else, including Bell, until sharing it with the other members of her Familia upon being asked about it.[LN 7]
Ais Wallenstein
[edit]- Voiced by: Saori Ōnishi[5] (Japanese); Shelley Calene-Black[2] (English)
- Ais Wallenstein (アイズ・ヴァレンシュタイン, Aizu Varenshutain) is a beautiful and powerful swordswoman of the Loki Familia.[ch. 1] Aliased the Sword Princess (剣姫, Kenki), she is a level 5 adventurer who has killed over a thousand monsters and has turned down just as many suitors.[ch. 2] As a child, she lost her parents to the Black Dragon and resolves to get stronger, joining the familia and started adventuring at the age of 7. She finally achieved Lvl 6 after defeating floor 37's boss Monster Rex alone making her the 4th Lvl 6 adventurer in Loki's Familia alongside Finn, Riveria and Gareth. She has blond hair and golden eyes. Bell first meets her in the Dungeon when she saves him from a Minotaur that escaped from her group and fled to the upper levels.[ch. 1] Although she generally shows a quiet, emotionless personality,[ch. 2] she knows of Bell and has defended him from her peers, who joke about his ineptitude during the Minotaur incident.[vol. 1] After properly having a conversation with Bell, Ais appears to have developed an interest for him, helping with his training, but curious about how quickly he develops. She can use wind magic to allow her to do 3 dimensional fighting. Ais is the main character of the sidestory series Sword Oratoria which focuses on her adventures with the Loki Famillia, including a little bit of her history, while also showing events from the main series through her own point of view.[LN 1]
Ryū Lion
[edit]- Voiced by: Saori Hayami[6] (Japanese); Genevieve Simmons[2] (English)
- Ryū Lion (リュー・リオン, Ryū Rion) is an elf waitress at the Hostess of Fertility and Syr's friend, who supports her with her crush on Bell, occasionally helping him and the Hestia Familia for her sake. Nicknamed the Gale Wind (疾風, Shippū), she was a level 4 adventurer from the Astraea Familia, until her Familia was slaughtered by the monstrous Juggernaut during a confrontation with the Rudra Familia in the dungeon and all of the members, except for Ryū, were killed. Ryū avenged her late comrades by destroying the rival Famila using any means she could, including traps and assassinations, though as a result of her actions she was blacklisted by the guild and excommunicated from Astraea, unabling her to level up (though she ended Evilus' dark reign on Orario at the time). Despite this, Syr and Mia took her in. As the Gale Wind, she seemed to be compared multiple times with Ais due to their similarities in sword fighting and usage of wind magic, and is still feared in Orario to the point she once had a bounty of 80 million valis placed by the guild. She starts developing feelings for Bell after their survival journey together on the 37th floor while facing the Juggernaut once again. Later, prior to the Freya Famillia's war game, she became the first person in Orario history to achieve double rank up from Level 4 to 6 after her visit to Astraea to update her falna, presumably due to her gathered experience during the last five years. Ryū is the main character of her own sidestory series Familia Chronicle Episode Ryū and Astrea Record which provides more details about her past and other adventures with the Astrea Famillia and the Hostess of Fertility.

She gets jealous of the time Ais spends with Bell, though her opinion on Bell has changed through their interactions. With this, she becomes Bell's self proclaimed rival. She later eventually reaches Level 4. She has a small role in the main series but acts as Ais' closest friend and co-protagonist in Sword Oratoria.

As a result, she cheated them out of money and items in order to live. However her dislike for Bell changes when he saves her from a Killer Ant colony and the two then become official partners.

Notable monsters
[edit]Creatures that normally reside in the Orario Dungeon, though weaker varieties exist outside it, considered enemies of humanity long before the deities arrived. Monsters are birthed from dungeon's walls and ceilings, respawn after being killed. Certain floors contain a floor boss, also known as a Monster Rex, that have a longer spawning rate after being killed.
- Minotaur (ミノタウロス, Minotaurosu)
- Strong monsters native to the 15th floor of the Orario Dungeon, extremely aggressive and intelligent enough to wield weapons to use large stone blades to battle. During the Loki Familia's expedition, one Minotaur escaped to the upper floors that led to the meeting of Bell and Ais. Ottar, acting on Freya's orders, recruits another minotaur which he trains in using a greatsword before letting the monster loose on the 9th floor. Bell kills the sword-wielding minotaur, who later reincarnates into the Xenos Asterius.
- Udaeus (ウダイオス, Udaeusu)
- A floor boss of level 37 that appears like a flaming Skeleton, spawning every three weeks. Ais defeats one single-handed to upgrade to level 6. Another spawn later gets consumed by the Juggernaut in order to use it's abilities to overwhelm Bell and Ryu in their fight.
- Goliath (ゴライアス, Goraiasu)
- A floor boss that spawns every 2 weeks in the room just before the entrance to level 18 (better known as the Adventurers Rest). Bell and the others just get past it as it spawns.
- Black Goliath (漆黒のゴライアス, Shikkoku no Goraiasu)
- A rare version of Goliath that appears in the 18th floor when the Dungeon detected Hestia's presence within it after she used her powers to protect Bell, turning the safe zone into a warzone as it rallied the residing monsters to attack everyone. Capable of quickly regenerating itself even with most of its body destroyed, the Goliath is destroyed by a combined effort of all the adventurers in the floor and a magic sword used by Welf Crozzo to open a way for Bell to destroy the crystal that gives life to it.
- Antares (アンタレス)
- A monster sealed in the Elsos Ruins by the Great Spirits during the Ancient Times. It is a giant one-eyed, six armed, and multi-legged monster with glowing red marks across its body. It tried to destroy Orario by abducting the goddess Artemis and using her powers, but was killed by Bell and the others using the Orion spear.
- Juggernaut (ジャガーノート, Jagānōto)
- A monster with tremendous strength and speed with razor-sharp claws and armor that can reflect magic. Unlike other monsters, the Juggernaut spawns as a part of the dungeon's defense mechanism every time excessive damage is done to the dungeon itself. It was also responsible for the destruction of both the Astraea and the Rudra Famillia.
Xenos
[edit]Xenos (異端児, Zenosu) are a group of monsters with human intelligence that reside in Hidden Villages produced by the Dungeon, wanting to live in peace on the surface. To defend themselves against regular monsters and Adventurers, a Xenos eats the magic stones of defeated monsters to increase their strength. Their existence is only known by Uranus, Hermes, Ganesha, and Hestia.[LN 9]

- A mermaid Bell encountered in the 25th floor, she acts as a guide on the floor while sometimes acting as a medical support for Bell, as her blood can heal any wounds, as proven by reattaching Bell's arm during his fight with the Juggernaut.

- Voiced by: Mizunaka Masaaki (Japanese); Joe Daniels (English)

- Asterius (アステリオス, Asuteriusu)
- Voiced by: Ryou Sugisaki (Japanese); Ricardo Contreras (English)
- A Black Rhinos with a love for combat, considered as the strongest of the Xenos. He was formerly a regular minotaur that Ottar trained as part of Freya's scheme to test Bell's worth, receiving a greatsword while the ordeal reddened his fur and toughened his hide with one of his horns cut off. The minotaur roamed the 9th floor until he was killed by Bell and reincarnated into his current form, with Asterius retaining enough memories of his past life to consider Bell a worthy opponent.
