Chapter 48

-Danmachi-

Orario, the only city in the world that has a Dungeon. Most of the Gods and Goddesses live here. It is a place where people can train quickly and therefore has the strongest force in the world.

Everything in Orario was peaceful…Well, as peaceful as it can be in a world such as this. But that peace was about to be disturbed by the arrival of Jaune Arc, the man that they would later name as the Walking Disaster.

When Jaune arrived in Orario he was alone, RWBY and the others were not with him yet since he needed to get some information about the dungeon, whether adventurer without a patron god is allowed to enter the dungeon. He also needed to buy land for him to set up a base for everyone to live on while they train here in Orario.

'The air in this world is fresher than Remnant or DxD, probably because there is no pollution due to cars and things,' Jaune thought while looking around.

Not far from Jaune was the entrance to the city of Orario. He approached it and the people guarding it. The guards stopped him from entering the city since he needed to pay an entrance fee and register his entrance.

"Name," Guard 1 asked.

"Jaune Arc" Jaune replied

"First time," Guard 1 asked.

"Yes, I came from a small village from the east," Jaune said.

"Since this is your face time here in Orario, the entrance fee is ten valis and it will be fifteen in the future," Guard 1 said.

"I don't have any valis with me," Jaune said.

"You outsiders always think that there is no fee to enter the city. Do you have anything to sell? I can sell it for you to get the valis for the entrance fee," Guard 2 said.

Jaune took out a diamond and handed it over to the guard to sell. Jaune took out a diamond to test the integrity of the guard. Lo and behold, the guard came back with the money he got from selling the diamond and gave them all to Jaune.

"Here kid…next time it is best that you don't just take out a valuable resource and hand it to a stranger," Guard 2 said.

"I know, I just wanted to see if you were a good person or not…Here is the entrance fee and keep the rest or share it with your buddy over there," Jaune said while handing the valis to the guard.

"Kid, this is over one million valis," the guard said.

"I know, just treat it as a tip for helping me sell the item," Jaune said before he entered Orario and the guards. The guards look at Jaune dumbfounded, the guy just gave away one million valis. As soon as Jaune entered Orario he headed to the guild to ask for some information.

Jaune had to wait in line for his turn. The guild has a lot of new adventurers registering with their Familia and others that are asking for Familia that are looking for new members. When it was Jaune's turn, he was greeted by a red-headed werewolf by the name of Rose Fannett.

"Hello. I am Rose Fannett; I'll be your advisor from here on out. Are you registering as an adventurer today?" Rose asked.

"Not at the moment, I'm here to inquire about the dungeon," Jaune said.

"Understood. What information do you need?" Rose asked.

Jaune asked various questions ranging from 'Is a Familia require to enter the dungeon?' to 'Where can I find the Hephaestus Familia?' Rose answered every question very professionally, everything was going smoothly and a dumbass had to interrupt them to confess his loved to Rose, which was met with rejection and the dumbass attacked Jaune out of anger.

The attack of the dumbass hit Jaune. Everyone thought that since Jaune was a newbie in Orario he would die from the attack of the dumbass, but contrary to their prediction, Jaune didn't even move a single step from the level 4 dumbass' attack, and this is Jaune with the Loop of Binding at maximum restraint. Jaune punted the dumbass out of the Guild which shocked everyone since he defeated a level 4 very easily.

"I'm sorry for his behaviour, I should have talked to him somewhere else, instead I…" Rose was cut off by Jaune.

"There is nothing for you to be sorry for, he was the one that attacked me, he was the one that wanted to confess to you in public and in front of all these people," Jaune said.

"Still, I want to apologise for the behaviour of our client," Rose said.

"Alright, fine. Apology accepted," Jaune said. He reluctantly accepted her apology even if she didn't have anything to apologise for, he knew that people like Rose are headstrong and won't back down, hence why he accepted her apology.

"Mr Arc. I thought you said that you are new to Orario, if that's the case, how come you have the strength at least a level 4?" Rose asked.

"The dungeon isn't the only way to become strong," Jaune said and he left it at that.

Jaune continued asking questions about the dungeon. Later, Jaune headed in the direction of the Hephaestus Familia, he needed a lot of money to be able to buy land to put his base of operation. When he arrived at the entrance of Hephaestus Familia, he was stopped from entering by a guard of the Familia.

"Holt! This property belongs to the Hephaestus Familia, only those who have an appointment or request may enter if they aren't from the Familia," the guard said.

"I don't have an appointment since I just got here in Orario, but if you give this to your Goddess, I believe that she will invite me in herself," Jaune said while handing an ore to the guard.

"Wait here…" the guard said while taking the ore to Hephaestus.

A few minutes later the guard returned and just as Jaune said, he was invited inside by Hephaestus herself. The guard then brought him to the office of Hephaestus since that is where she currently is. The guard knocked and Hephaestus voice was heard.

"Enter," Hephaestus said.

"Goddess, this is the man that told me to give you the ore that is currently in your hands," the guard said.

"Let him in and you may leave," Hephaestus said.

The guard did as he was told. He let Jaune enter and then left to guard the front gate once more.

"So, you're the one that owns this ore?" Hephaestus asked.

"That's right, I knew that it would catch your eye. What do you think of it?"

"As the goddess of smithing, understanding metal such as this is easy for me therefore, I don't get surprised anymore when seeing new metal, but this, this is something that doesn't even exist in Heaven. I've never seen a metal with biological properties before," Hephaestus said.

"Damn…No wonder you're the goddess of smithing, to see the biological properties of Vibranium instantly is astonishing," Jaune said surprised that she would understand Vibranium's capability so quickly.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to request me to make you a weapon personally since the price of this kind of metal is more than enough for that? Or do you want to sell it to me? I can pay 1.1 million valis per gram of this metal," Hephaestus asked.

"I don't plan to sell that ore…" Jaune took back the Vibranium ore and took out a Vibranium ingot instead.

"This is what I want to sell," Jaune added. When Hephaestus saw that Jaune took out an ingot of the ore, she was shocked, she thought that Jaune only had that single ore, but instead, she believes that Jaune has more, which she is correct.

"You have more! And this one is refined!" Hephaestus said.

"So, are you willing to buy it?" Jaune asked.

"Since this is a refined ingot, I'm willing to buy it at 1.8 million valis per gram," Hephaestus said.

"That's a deal," Jaune said. He then proceeded to hand over a kilogram of Vibranium ingot.

After making a deal with Hephaestus, Jaune asked about the eye patch. In his original world, he's always been curious about the deformity of her right eye. Hephaestus was angry at Jaune for asking, after a while though she just became reluctant to show Jaune what it was, but thanks to Jaune's charms, he was able to coax her to show it to him and explain what it was.

"Hmm? A curse you say…Maybe I can help you with that," Jaune said.

Jaune wanted to use Rule Breaker to erase the curse but it wouldn't work as it would also destroy her avatar, no, Jaune has to do something else to erase the curse and it was an ability that Jaune has been dying to test out.

"Not even Gods and Goddesses are able to erase the curse. What makes you think that a mortal will be able to help?" Hephaestus asked.

"Maybe you're right, but you won't lose anything by letting me try, right?" Jaune said.

"Sigh…I guess you're right," Hephaestus said. She doesn't know what's going on with her, she didn't know why she was willing to show and tell Jaune about her deformity or how she easily trusted him.

"Alright then…Manifestation of the World of Faeries!" Jaune shouted.

Manifestation of the World of Faeries is the ability to bring the Faeries world to Jaune's current world, it is temporary and would only last for a maximum of ten minutes, but Jaune didn't even need that much time, he only needed a second.

The moment Jaune manifested the Faeries World, he immediately directed its tranquil domain of faeries that keeps out all filth from the outside world towards Hephaestus, the curse was then immediately eliminated as it was considered as filth in the domain.

Hephaestus felt the effect immediately as she touched her right eye and took off her eye patch, she then looked in the mirror that was beside her. She teared up at what she saw, it was red-eye just like her left eye.

"Thank you! I…I don't know what I can do to repay you for helping me get rid of a curse that has plagued me for thousands of years. If you need anything, anything at all, I'm willing to help you with anything," Hephaestus said.

"If that's the case, do you mind helping me buy land here in Orario that is close to the dungeon?" Jaune asked.

"Eh? That's all? That's easy, I can get you one in a few hours," Hephaestus said.

"Thank you," Jaune said. He then gave the details of what size land he wanted to Hephaestus.

And just like Hephaestus said, it only took her two hours to find one that's just a few minutes away from the dungeon, it was perfect to the specification of what Jaune wanted. Jaune then tossed a Dyno-cap on the land and a small shack came out of it.. With this, all the preparation was done and Jaune can finally bring the others to Danmachi.
