DanMachi Story Background

Set in the fictional city of Orario, the story starts when the Gods descend on earth to find spark and excitement among humans. Their divine powers, however, are somewhat limited while they are on Earth. Even then, they are ready to experience the hardships of the lower realm. These Gods offer humans, also called mortals, some of their abilities to fight monsters and evil beings in the Dungeon. It is an underground labyrinth where these adventurers go to collect their crystal shards by defeating monsters.

The crystals collected from the Dungeon can be used to make special magical artifacts or objects. Moreover, adventurers can also exchange them for Orario’s currency. Each adventurer receives their powers and abilities upon joining groups called Familia. Each Familia has a resident deity to serve and the groups or Familia are named after those resident deities as well. Another feature of each Familia member is that they are internally grouped into levels based on their abilities and achievements.
