And, if you are also wondering the same thing, then you don’t have to worry because, in this article, we will answer in detail whether the Damanchi light novel has ended or not. But before knowing the answer, let’s catch a short recap on how the adventure of Bell begins.
Damanchi Light Novel Plot
The quick explanation of how gods came down to this world to live like normal people, because apparently, it’s boring being a god since they aren’t allowed to use their power except to give blessings, which allow people to fight with monsters.
If a guy gives you a blessing, then you become a part of their family and their servant. The main character of the story, Bell, is introduced while he gets chased by a Minotaur through a dungeon. As he gets cornered, Ais Wellenstein, his new love interest, saves him.
He leaves without talking to where he goes to see his advisor, Eina, to ask about his new crush. She tells him she’s parted the Loki family, currently level 5, and supposedly the best sort of person in the city.
Since Bell is in the Hestia family and only level 1 with no DM to slide into, it’s likely that they’re gonna end up together plenty ahead. Tommy’s greeted by his goddess Hestia.
Well, upgrading his stats, he realizes he has a new skill but hides it from him. It lets him level up faster. And the stronger his feelings are, the stronger the effects. The next day, he runs into a maid named Syr, who works at a tavern, and Gibson some food.
After his dungeon run, Bell grows rapidly because of how strong his feelings are for her. He returns to the tavern later that night and just so happens to see Ais walk in with her party, but they start talking about him and make fun of how he had to run from the Minotaur.
This makes Bell want to get stronger, so he leaves embarrassingly and heads to the dungeon to get more training. He goes back to the tavern the next day to pay his bill since he split into her than before.
Syr apparently vouched for him to help him get off easy shortly out of the kindness of her heart. We jump over to a party, all the guts are sore, and we are introduced to some new faces.
We have Freya, who has Thea but doesn’t seem to be a fan of Loki, who was the goddess device. The reason he is at the party is to ask Isis to help make a weapon for Bell since he is in desperate need of an upgrade. It takes a lot of begging, but eventually, Hestia comes around and helps make the weapon personally.
