Hey! Long time no see! I'm Yuri Winters!
Well… a lot has happened over the past few years. Yes, years.
More than ten years have passed since that night with the girls from the Loki Family, the waitresses from the Hostess of Fertility, and, of course, my dear and chaotic Hestia Familia.
If I were to tell you everything in detail, I'd need about five whole volumes just for that. So, let's go with the classic: summary.
Let's start from the beginning, shall we?
The world of DanMachi didn't stand still. Not at all! For example, Haruhime reached level 4, which is almost a miracle for someone who used to be terrified of even cute little rabbits. Meanwhile, the dynamic duo, Daphne and Cassandra, reached level 6. Who would've thought those two would get so far?
Oh, and me?
Well… I reached level 7.
Yes, SEVEN!
A historic record for any Familia in Orario!
By the way… all the members of my Familia leveled up at least twice in just over twenty days!
(No, you didn't misread that. Twenty days.)
I also joined an expedition with the Loki Familia to the deep floors of the dungeon. Thanks to yours truly—modesty aside—we managed to reach the incredible Floor 70.
"You only survived because I was there," Riveria huffed, pretending to be annoyed.
"Envy detected," I joked.
And I can't forget to mention… Hestia.
Yes, she finally fully accepted my relationship with Ais, Riveria, Ryu, and… surprise… Hephaestus!
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HEPHAESTUS IS ALSO YOUR LOVER?!?!!" Hestia screamed.
Her expression… priceless. I don't think I've ever seen someone spit wine through their nose like that.
Anyway…
Time passed, as it always does, and then… the day came. The fateful day when I had to leave that world.
I won't lie… I was a little sad. Not just because I had to say goodbye to the girls—with whom I shared adventures and nights that, well… let's leave that to the imagination—but also because adventuring in the dungeon was incredibly fun!
But life goes on, right?
When I returned to my world, I finally decided to come clean with Gwen and Felicia.
Let's just say… it wasn't exactly the best idea I've ever had.
"You did WHAT… with WHO?!" Gwen screamed, staring at me in disbelief.
"And here I thought my adventures were strange…" Felicia muttered.
The result?
Weeks sleeping on the couch.
Literally weeks.
I even started considering launching a YouTube channel: "How to Turn Your Couch Into a Real Bed."
But eventually… I managed to soften their hearts and convinced both of them to visit one of the worlds I'd been to.
Obvious choice: Demon Slayer.
(Not that I missed the girls there or anything… cough cough).
Now… just imagine my face when I found out that, in my absence, time in that world had simply stopped.
Yes. Stopped.
As if someone had paused the series and only hit play when I came back.
And guess what?
Gwen went straight to learning about poisons with Shinobu.
I swear… I felt a chill up my spine like the breath of death itself.
"Gwen… you don't really need to learn THAT specifically, do you?" I asked, trembling slightly.
"I'm just broadening my horizons, darling," she said sweetly, holding a knife.
Help.
We spent quite a bit of time in that world. Uzui had finally become a father.
Once again, he dragged me to one of his 'extravagant' parties.
And I dragged Gwen, Felicia, Shinobu, Mitsuri, Tamayo, and Kanae to the party.
When I woke up the next morning, all six of them were tangled up with me on my futon.
Not long after, Gwen and Felicia became good friends with Uzui's wives.
And so… time kept passing.
We returned to our world and got back to our routine.
Peter finally gathered the courage to propose to MJ.
Hallelujah! I thought it was never going to happen!
"MJ… will you…?" Peter asked, kneeling. He was so embarrassed he could've fainted right then and there.
"I'm already saying yes! Before you pass out!" she cut him off before he could finish.
And guess who became the best man?
Exactly, me.
But, since Peter is Peter… almost all the wedding planning was left to me.
While he was out chasing half-baked villains, I was handling the catering, decorations, and even the cake!
My sweet revenge came soon after.
I proposed to Gwen and Felicia.
"You want me to be your best man?" he asked, surprised, his excitement clear—only to deflate like a balloon when he heard what I said next.
"Of course. And I'll make sure to give you WAY more work than you gave me!" I laughed as he stared at me in disbelief.
Mission accomplished.
Days went by and, honestly… I got tired of adventures.
I decided to hang up the Black Spider suit and focus on my current life. The Black Spider now only showed up when absolutely necessary.
Peter and I founded a company.
And, modesty aside, the company exploded with success!
We even surpassed Oscorp!
There was just one… little detail.
Peter, as always, is terrible with names.
"What if we call it… WP Industries?" Peter suggested, banging on the table.
"Peter, that sounds like a dog food brand!"
Thank heavens Gwen and MJ showed up to save the day.
"How about… WP GenTech? Winters-Parker Genetic Technologies," Gwen suggested, bringing in a tray of cookies.
"Seriously, you guys suck at naming things," MJ said, following her with a jug of juice.
And just like that… our company was born:
WP GenTech.
Much better than "WP Industries" or, as Peter suggested in a creative frenzy: "Spider-Tech."
"Peter… for God's sake, we're developing genetic innovations, not toy web-shooters!" I sighed, looking at him.
"Okay… fair point."
Of course, even with the company booming, Peter kept up his old habit… of being late.
"Mr. Parker didn't show up for the meeting again," the secretary informed me.
"Again? I think I'm going to start using a hologram of him…" I muttered.
Seeing things go from bad to worse, I finally decided to officially retire the Black Spider and took on the company full-time.
Meanwhile, Peter, Gwen, and Felicia continued handling the usual street fights.
But… as always… life loves to drop a bomb.
Right in the middle of Christmas dinner, at the Parker house, MJ stood up and said:
"Everyone… I'm pregnant..." she said, placing her hand on her belly.
Complete silence.
Peter nearly fainted.
Meanwhile… Gwen and Felicia slowly turned their heads toward me… with that look.
That look.
"Yuri…?" Gwen murmured.
"I think it's time we had a proper conversation about our future."

Time flew by, as it always does, and before we could even realize it... five years had gone by in a flash.
George, who used to be an overprotective father to Gwen, evolved—or rather, regressed—and became an overprotective grandfather. Yes, that's right: Gwen and I had a daughter, our adorable Rebecca. By the way, let me clarify: it was Gwen who chose the name, with an absolutely justified fear that I'd suggest something horrible. (She didn't want to take any risks).
Rebecca quickly became the best friend of Mayday Parker, Peter and MJ's daughter, who was two years older than her. Together, the two of them formed a true little walking hurricane, two Parker-Winters kids with the potential to, at the very least, topple buildings or hack international security systems... or both at the same time, on any random Tuesday.
Fortunately—and when I say "fortunately," I mean it with the relief of someone who just defused a time bomb—thanks to Gwen's research advances (she had, by the way, become the head of the Biochemistry Division at WP GenTech), we managed to solve a small technical issue: the genetic incompatibility between Peter's mutated DNA and MJ's. It took days of intense research, coffee, and shouting in the lab... but Gwen pulled it off.
The result: Mayday was born healthy, beautiful, and... very, very strong. Strong enough that, the first time she grabbed Peter's finger, she almost tore his hand off.
Meanwhile, I decided it was time to revisit some of the worlds I had previously traveled through. One of them? The world of Naruto.
When I arrived there... surprise! More than ten years had passed since my last visit. And, man, I can still feel the sting of those three simultaneous slaps I received as soon as I showed up: Anko and Kurenai didn't find it funny at all that I just vanished for a decade and reappeared as if I had just gone down to the corner store for some bread.
A lot had changed in Konoha. For starters, Danzo—yes, that creepy old man—finally had his crimes exposed, was declared a rogue ninja, and ended up dead... by Tsunade's own hand.
Speaking of Tsunade... well, being the last of the Senju, she didn't have much choice but to... marry me, to fulfill that clan contract. I admit, I thought she'd be more resistant to the idea, maybe punch me or throw a table at me... but, to my surprise, she accepted with a suspicious calm. I think, deep down, she was also tired of so much responsibility and saw me as an escape... or the lesser evil.
During my stay, I also had the chance to meet Naruto in person—or rather, little Naruto, isolated, sad, and lonely, since good old Hiruzen did exactly what he did in the original: kept the boy isolated from everything and everyone, as if he were a burden to be hidden. He didn't even tell him who his parents were.
That infuriated me.
So, I made what seemed like the best decision: I adopted Naruto as my son and told him about his parents. Even though the elders disapproved and Hiruzen nearly had a heart attack, I simply couldn't accept that situation. The boy deserved more; he deserved a real family, not that hypocritical charade. After all, we're talking about the son of Konoha's greatest hero!
So, we began our training. And, wow... the boy had unbelievable talent. Not only for regular Jutsus but also for Fuinjutsu, which, let's be honest, makes total sense considering his Uzumaki heritage and that infinite chakra reservoir.
But not everything went as it did in the original story. Because of my relationship with Mikoto, who became my fiancée, wife, and probably therapist, events changed drastically: Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha... were never born.
Yeah. It looks like I inadvertently erased Naruto's rival and a minor antagonist of this world.
On the other hand, Naruto ended up becoming quite popular among girls his age. If it weren't for his lack of training, clumsy personality, and, of course, the prejudice he always faced, he would've easily outshone any other genin, including that Sasuke who... well... never existed.
Now, want to know the most surprising part? When I decided to bring Gwen and our little Rebecca to visit this world, Naruto became... a total siscon. Seriously, he developed such a huge affection for Rebecca that no one could believe it. I never imagined that impulsive blond kid could be so sweet and protective.
Of course, since they weren't natives of that world, neither Gwen nor Rebecca had any aptitude for learning ninjutsu... which probably prevented my daughter from running around launching Rasengans at people.
On the other hand, bringing Gwen turned out to be a blessing for Konoha. Her knowledge sparked a revolution in medical ninjutsu, to the point where Konoha surpassed all the other hidden villages in that area. And thanks to this technological leap, Tsunade finally accepted, officially, the position of Fifth Hokage.
Oh, and what about Orochimaru? Yeah... honestly, I expected him to have found a way to become Hokage in my absence. But no... to everyone's absolute surprise, he became... Tsunade's advisor. I'm not sure who was more uncomfortable with that: her or him. But, as far as I know, no one's been kidnapped or had their organs removed since then... which is already progress!
Time passed again, and another surprise came: the first Senju in decades was born.
Yes, Tsunade and I had a son, a cute little boy who inherited more of Tsunade's traits than mine, and as a tribute, we decided to name him Nawaki, in honor of her late brother.
---
Finally, after so many adventures, marriages, and even fatherhood across multiple worlds... I decided I deserved one last special adventure in the world of Danmachi before retiring from my days as an adventurer. A sort of prolonged farewell, you know? The kind that starts with "just one more day" and ends with "I've been here for a year now."
As soon as I arrived, I went straight to visit Hestia. Just for the record: I thought she had already gotten over that possessive spoiled-goddess jealousy. But... oh, how wrong I was.
When she saw me, with that classic smile only Hestia can give, she immediately ran to hug me, cupped my face in her hands, and exclaimed:
"YURI! It's been so long! I missed you so much!"
She then started showering me with kisses, wanting affection, since it had been over three months since my last visit to that world.
But... then she noticed who was behind me.
Gwen, Felicia, Kanae, Shinobu, Mitsuri, Kurenai, Anko, Mikoto, Tsunade, and Tamayo.
And then she started to realize just how big the entourage was.
Right after, Ais, Riveria, Lefiya, Ryuu, and Hephaestus arrived, having heard about my return...
And when the realization fully hit, Hestia turned completely pale. So shocked it seemed like the blood had left her divine body. She looked from one to another, then at me, then back at them...
"How many... how many lovers do you have, anyway?!" she asked, her voice trembling between horror and disbelief.
Me, with the cheekiest smile in the multiverse, raised my hands as if to say "don't judge me."
"Just them."
That's when she practically had a heart attack right there in the mansion square. And, of course... I still carry the mark of the bite she gave me that day, right on my shoulder. I don't know if it was an attempt to mark her territory or to punish me, but I can guarantee it hurt like hell.
After that scene worthy of a Mexican soap opera, we went on to experience the craziest and most fun year of my life—or rather, of my lives. The girls who came with me, clearly bored of just sitting around in a city full of adventurers, practically forced me—or better yet, dragged me by the collar—to dive into the Dungeon with them almost every day.
"You can't just sit in a tavern drinking beer all day!" Gwen would say, already pulling my katana off the wall.
"Or you can... but we won't let you!" Felicia would add, all excited, already jumping out the window towards the Dungeon.
Right after, the girls from the Demon Slayer world and my kunoichis would follow their example.
And off we went, descending floor after floor, facing monsters, as always. But the funniest part wasn't that...
The most amusing thing was seeing the faces of my Danmachi-world lovers when they witnessed Gwen's and Felicia's physical strength.
Seriously... their first encounter with Ais was practically an action movie.
Ais, with her usual cold expression, sized Gwen up and down and asked suspiciously:
"Are you... an adventurer?"
Gwen smiled playfully:
"Sort of... let's just say I have my skills."
Then, out of nowhere, she killed a minotaur with just her fists like it was nothing.
Ais's eyes widened in a way I never thought I'd see.
"But... but... you're just a level 1 human!" she exclaimed, taking a step back, genuinely surprised.
And, of course, Riveria, always the most rational, adjusted her glasses and murmured:
"Impossible... this breaks all known laws of human physiology..."
Felicia didn't waste time and did the same as Gwen to show off.
"See? We work out!" she shouted, laughing, while Gwen gave her a high five.
The shock was universal. Ryuu crossed her arms, suspicious, while Riveria just shook her head and said:
"I should've known... any woman who's with this man must be... peculiar."
At some point, Lefiya started calling the two of them "big sisters," to my complete surprise.
The funniest thing is that, despite being just humans, Gwen and Felicia were better than many adventurers, including some who had been in the Guild for years and never made it past the early floors.
Me, of course, I'd be there in the middle, alternating between pride and despair, because those two basically turned our routine into an extreme Dungeon tour.
"Come on, Yuri! Just five more floors!" Felicia would shout, already running to the next level like it was an amusement park.
"No! Just three more!" Gwen would correct, with a competitive gleam in her eyes.
"Girls... we're already on floor 47! Don't you want to... I don't know... eat lunch first?" I'd try to argue, laughing at the two of them.
But, obviously, they'd completely ignore me.
And so, a year passed—or rather, a year filled with adventure, scares, epic battles, a few near-deaths, some new scars, and, of course, lots of fun memories.
And even though Hestia still gave me side-eyes every time I entered the mansion, and despite the occasional bites (seriously, someone needs to teach her that biting isn't an acceptable way to express jealousy), eventually I managed to make her accept my current romantic situation. In the end... it was a wonderful time.
Because, as always, what really matters in these adventures isn't the Dungeon, or the monsters, or the treasures...
...but rather, who's by your side, risking their life with you—or, in my case, dragging me by the hair into the next mess.
And honestly? I couldn't have chosen better company for my life, not now, not ever.
Goodbye, everyone. Just know that even though this story ends here, my life goes on, because I, Yuri Winters, still have many more adventures to live—not just as a husband, but also as a father.
As they say, the adventure never ends.
[END]
Final words:
Well, what can I say? Initially, when I started this fanfic, I planned to make it my main one, but over time, the rewrite of my first fic, MARVEL LOGIN SYSTEM, ended up working out, and this fic gradually took a back seat.
I wish I had put more effort into it, improved the narrative, the arcs, everything... unfortunately, over time, it became increasingly difficult for me to focus and manage to write the chapters of this fic. But despite everything, I can say for sure: it was great working on it; it gave me precious experiences that I might not have gained with my other fics.
Anyway, this is the end. See you around, and I hope you keep following my other fics.
