Become the God of Ninjas starting from Danganronpa.

Before long, the two arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.

It was a magnificent building, resembling a temple, with bustling streets outside.

Hestia led Dongfang Yao into the hall and went straight to a window. "Eina, I'm here to apply for adventurer qualifications for my clan's child."

The sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly throughout the entire office hall.

In an instant, Dongfang Yao felt gazes from all directions converge on him, some fiery, some icy, some sharp, and some oppressive.

"Isn't that Hestia? He actually found a family member?"

"Interesting, which idiot is it... Oh my, this... this child is so cute!" A goddess cupped her hands in her heart, her beautiful and refined face full of surprise.

"Wow, what a handsome little guy! I'm smitten."

"Get lost! You're a man!"

"What's wrong with men? As long as there is love, gender is not an issue at all."

"Damn it! Who dares to take anything from me? I'll tear them to pieces!"

"Heh...savage female gorilla..."

Before Dongfang Yao could even speak, the atmosphere in the hall was already tense. The nosy gods immediately surrounded him, groping and touching him all over.

"Where did the little brother come from? How old is he?"

"Would you like to join our clan? We have lots of beautiful older sisters here."

"Hehe, how could little brother be such a vulgar person? Come with big brother, big brother will show you something good."

"..." Dongfang Yao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he retreated further and further.

The goddess was one thing; everyone was exchanging pleasantries, so he wasn't really at a disadvantage. But what was with those two or three male gods? Their greasy gazes made Dongfang Yao want to gouge their eyes out!

As those guys drew closer, Dongfang Yao made up his mind: if these male gods really didn't know what was good for them, then he would teach them a lesson.

Indeed, boys must take good care of themselves when they go out.

"Okay, let's start with the bone fracture set meal."

Just as Dongfang Yao was about to make a move, a loud roar rose into the sky.

"Let go of that child! Yao is mine!"

Hestia rushed to Dongfang Yao like a gust of wind, spreading her arms like a lioness defending her territory.

Seeing the adorable appearance of the loli goddess, whether they were familiar with her or not, the gods couldn't help but want to joke around and tease her.

"Hey, young man, want to join our clan? We have lots of high-level adventurers here to protect you."

"That's right. And our clan can also give you a lot of good equipment."

"What's the point of following this poor little girl? She can't give you anything. She'll probably just drag you into living in an abandoned basement."

"Yes, yes, and they still need to be fed every day. They're such a burden."

"..."

Hestia trembled, wishing she could devour these gossipy gods, yet she had no way to refute them. Their words were sharp and sarcastic, each one like a dagger piercing her, leaving her riddled with wounds in the blink of an eye.

"Would Yao-jun really go back on his word?" Hestia couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry at the thought.

"I thank the gods for their favor, but I have already chosen my clan, and I will not go back on my word."

Dongfang Yao's voice rang out, as gentle as sweet spring water, nourishing Hestia's nearly parched heart.

"Whether it's equipment or protectors, they are ultimately external forces. In the end, people still have to rely on themselves." Dongfang Yao's words were calm, yet they were resounding.

"And most importantly," Dongfang Yao said, turning to Hestia with tenderness in his bright eyes, "Hestia saved my life, and I have no way to repay you but to offer myself to you."

"Oh oh oh oh—"

The entire guild erupted in chaos. The gossipy god immediately shouted, "Hey bro, do you like Hestia?"

"Of course!" Dongfang Yao exclaimed. "Hestia is so cute, I love Hestia the most!"

"Waaaaah—"

The commotion from the busybodies almost lifted the roof off the guild.

"Bang—"

Hestia's brain overloaded, billowing out large plumes of steam, and her body was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Seeing that his own god had been defeated by his own direct approach and had completely lost the ability to speak, Dongfang Yao had no choice but to take Hestia's hand and walk towards the Adventurers' Guild staff counter, saying to the staff there, "Please process my adventurer registration."

The staff member was a half-elf with shoulder-length brown hair named Eina. Still reeling from Dongfang Yao's loud confession, she paused for a moment upon hearing this, then hurriedly pulled out several forms. "Okay, please fill in your personal information first."

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, the busybodies dispersed. However, many hadn't gone far and were still observing Dongfang Yao from the surrounding area, continuing to gossip about what had just happened.

Today's trip was truly worthwhile, with such a juicy tidbit of gossip and the sight of the famous Virgin Goddess Hestia in such a disheveled state.

The bored gods were satisfied, but many adventurers were unhappy.

Damn it, we're both adventurers, so why do you get so much attention and popularity?

"So what if he has a pretty face? What's so great about that?" a burly orc said sourly, rolling up his sleeve to show off his muscular biceps. "You'll have to see this to get into the dungeon."

"That's right, all show and no substance, all looks and no action."

"Once we get to the dungeon, we'll have to find this guy and have a good sparring match."

"Good idea. As a senior, it is my responsibility to teach these newcomers what dungeons are and what adventurers are."

"Oh, you're so naughty!"

......

Under the watchful eyes of a group of people, each with their own hidden agendas, Dongfang Yao filled out various forms and officially became a member of the adventurers.

"Mr. Dongfang Yao, congratulations on becoming an adventurer. I understand your excitement right now, but I still want to remind you: exploring dungeons must be done step by step. Although you are an adventurer, try not to take unnecessary risks." Eina handed over the dungeon map produced by the guild and said earnestly.

"OK, thanks."

Dongfang Yao always gladly accepts the kindness of others. However, how he acts on it is up to him.

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure. The guild has standard weapons and armor at reasonable prices, and they accept credit. Would you like to take a look?" Eina suggested.

As a guild member, Eina was well aware of Hestia's reputation as the Goddess of Poverty. Dongfang Yao had just joined and was probably short of money, so this should come in handy.

"Thank you, but no need." Dongfang Yao waved his hand, looking at the half-elf girl's somewhat worried expression, and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't joke around with my own life."

After saying that, he pulled Hestia, who was still lost in thought, away from the guild hall.

Almost simultaneously, a group of adventurers left the guild hall and followed. The gods, of course, observed this. However, they said nothing, for they too were waiting to see how things would unfold.

"Hey, Hestia, since we're out here, I'll go explore the dungeon first. You can go back now." Standing on the main street in front of the guild, Dongfang Yao said to Hestia beside him.

Just as he was about to leave, Dongfang Yao felt his arm being pulled. Turning around, he saw Hestia staring at him with a puffed-up face.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Yao asked, amused.

"You just said those things and upset her. And then you just turned around and left... That's so irresponsible!" Hestia said, looking indignant.

"Oh? Then, my most adorable Hestia, what would you like me to do?" Dongfang Yao leaned closer to Hestia and whispered. "Want a kiss?"

Warm breath on her face made Hestia shudder. Her translucent earlobes instantly turned as red as blood diamonds, and she darted several meters away like a startled rabbit. "Y-you...you...why are you always like this?!"

The goddess shouted, somewhat frantically.

"What can I do? My goddess is just so adorable!" Dongfang Yao shouted, his arms outstretched like a megaphone, drawing the attention of most of the street.

Hestia couldn't take it anymore and ran away like the wind. "Yo-kun is such a big idiot!"

Dongfang Yao paid no attention to Hestia's criticism or the strange looks from others.

He glanced in the direction of the Tower of Babel, the entrance to the underground city. "Let me see just how far the bounty of this world can go!"

......

The Underground City is a city located beneath the surface of Orario. It suddenly descended upon the Nether three thousand years ago, unleashing countless ferocious monsters that brought endless disasters and tragedies to the people of the land.

After the gods descended a thousand years ago, in order to prevent monsters from running away and causing destruction, the people of Orario built a magnificent, towering structure on the ground—the Tower of Babel—which sealed the entrance to the dungeon like a lid, thus ending the era of monster rampage.

Dongfang Yao's mind flashed through descriptions of the Tower of Babel as he followed the long queue to the entrance to the underground city. The staircases here were winding and twisting, leading to a dark and deep underground depth. Although the path was complex and the environment dim, the people present weren't too worried. Because this was just the entrance, still a safe zone.

The real challenge begins on the first level.

Upon arriving at the first level, Dongfang Yao parted ways with the crowd and stepped alone into the deep cave, beginning his dungeon journey.

After he left, several adventurers secretly followed him.

These people were initially full of confidence, thinking that Dongfang Yao was just a complete newbie who had just entered LV.1. On the other hand, they had four experienced LV.1 adventurers plus one LV.2 advanced adventurer. Tracking him would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

But who would have thought that the boy in front was incredibly fast, and before they knew it, they were left far behind.

The underground city is complex, with one branch after another, and it's easy to lose track of someone if you're not careful.

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

After a long while, the five adventurers, supporting their knees, were breathing heavily as if they were working bellows. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their anger towards Dongfang Yao was rising even higher.

"That damn thing, it runs way too fast."

"Is that guy perhaps born in the Year of the Rabbit?"

"Damn it! When I catch him, I'm going to give him a good beating to vent my anger."

"Don't hurt his face. Otherwise, he won't fetch a high price."

"Hehe, that's easy."

The group chatted amongst themselves, their words casual, as if Dongfang Yao was already theirs for the taking.

"I thought I could catch some big fish, but it turned out to be just some rotten fish and shrimp." The boy's voice rang out from behind, cold and full of disgust and disdain.

"Who?" The five turned around and were overjoyed to see Dongfang Yao. "Good lad, you've actually delivered yourself to our doorstep."

However, this joy did not last long and soon turned into fear.

They were rendered incapacitated simply because long, thin wooden spikes suddenly appeared on the ground, piercing their thighs and rendering them unable to fight.

But the most terrifying thing was yet to come. A deadly suction force erupted. These people only had time to let out a short, mournful cry before they were sucked into a state of extreme weakness. Then, they were burst apart by the rapidly expanding wooden spiked cactus, their flesh and blood scattering everywhere.

The first appearance of the Forest of Myriad Things was terrifyingly powerful.

Once someone of the same rank is stabbed, there is no chance of survival.

Of course, not all the enemies were wiped out.

The only LV.2 player in the entire arena managed to dodge the sudden attack and entanglement of the wooden spikes. Although he suffered a long cut on his leg, he ultimately survived.

Seeing his subordinates being slaughtered by Dongfang Yao with ease, the senior adventurer's face was almost contorted in pain.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" he glared, "You were hiding your true strength!"

How could a level 1 novice possibly perform such a range of magic, such speed, and such effortless maneuvering? It must be at least level 2.

"You people, you still won't admit it." Dongfang Yao shook his head and sighed, then walked up to the other person and raised the wooden spike, intending to give him a quick death.

"roar--"

The opponent roared, swung his arm to block Dongfang Yao's wooden spikes, and punched Dongfang Yao in the abdomen.

Dongfang Yao quickly withdrew his hands and crossed his arms to block, but was knocked into the air by the opponent's powerful force and retreated several meters.

Feeling the pain of a slight bone fracture, Dongfang Yao's heart tightened. Although he had an advantage thanks to the magical properties of the Forest of Myriad Phenomena, he was still far behind these LV.2 players in terms of ability stats.

"As expected, we should not underestimate the strong in this world."

Meanwhile, the LV.2 adventurer, seeing his attack succeed, felt his confidence soar. "That's right, that's more like it. The opponent is just a LV.1, while he's a LV.2 advanced adventurer!"

Even if it's injured, a tiger is still a tiger, and it's absolutely impossible for it to lose to a sheep.

With that thought in mind, he continued to rush forward.

Then, his entire body was pierced through by a splinter that sprang up from the ground, and he looked at Dongfang Yao with a bewildered expression—wasn't it supposed to be a hand-to-hand fight? You have no sportsmanship!

"Fool!" Dongfang Yao scoffed. Times have changed, don't you know that? Who would risk their weak body to fight if they could use magic!

The adventurers departed peacefully. Dongfang Yao accepted their weapons and supplies, feeling grateful to these generous philanthropists. Who said he lacked equipment? He had kind people sponsoring him.

This battle gave Dongfang Yao a clearer understanding of his own strength.

In terms of mana, with the boost from Hashirama cells, he's on par with, or even higher than, a Level 2. But in terms of physical strength, he's still far behind, truly a rookie.

"As expected, I still have to honestly grind for stats." Dongfang Yao sighed.
