Main characters

Bell Cranel

Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka[1]
Bell Cranell[2] (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 Realis Phrase (憧憬一途 (リアリス・フレーゼ) 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 in the span of only a few months.[LN 6] He later obtains another skill, Argonaut, which 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 Aiz so he can confess his feelings to her, leading 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 adoptive grandfather, who is later revealed to be the god Zeus himself.[LN 1].

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, Aiz appears to have developed an interest for him, helping with his training, but curious about how quickly he develops. Aiz is also the main character of the sidestory series Sword Oratoria which focuses on her own adventures, while also showing events from the main series from her own point of view.[LN 1]

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.

A strong monster native to the 15th floor of the Orario Dungeon. They look like a large, very muscular man, but with a bull's head. They are extremely aggressive and intelligent enough to wield weapons, carrying large stone blades to battle. It was one of these escaping from the Loki Familia's expedition, and making its way up to the upper floors that led to the meeting of Bell and Aiz.
A second minotaur was later fought by Bell. This minotaur had been trained by Ottar of the Freya Familia to become much stronger than other Minotaurs and was also given a large greatsword in order to provide a challenge for Bell, and help him get over his trauma when he was almost killed by a minotaur in the beginning of the story. Its fur had turned red and its skin was hard to pierce without a strong weapon, it was also missing one of its horns from the training with Ottar.

Monster Rex

Goliath (ゴライオス Goraiosu)

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

A massive rare monster that appears in the 18th floor after Hestia uses her powers to protect Bell inside the dungeon.
