?Ethan woke up with a very painful headache that made him flinch the moment he opened his eyes. It took him a while to remember why he was currently feeling sick and groaned on his bed. A moment later, the Black Cat sleeping beside him opened her eyes and looked at her Master with concern. “Master, does your head hurt?” Lilith asked anxiously. “You used up almost all of your magic reserves yesterday and pushed yourself to the limit. You will feel better if you kiss a black cat to absorb some…-

?Due to the speed of Ethan’s Water Snakes, they outpaced all the Adventurers who were trying to run to safety. Unlike the others who could only run on the ground, Ethan’s water snakes could crawl on the walls, as well as on the ceiling, giving them better mobility without impeding others in their escape. The last thing that Ethan wanted was to be caught in the rush of panic-stricken Adventurers who might lose their footing and trip. If that happened, a domino effect would happen as the…

?After killing the Dungeon Hunters, Ethan took charge of looting their bodies. He didn’t want to let the two girls touch corpses, so he took it upon himself to take their valuables. Luca and his two bodyguards didn’t even bother to ask for their share of the spoils since most of the killing was done by Nicole and her teammates. They simply left and continued their journey toward the lower floors. After Ethan finished taking everything, he stored it all on the storage rings that belonged to…

?The sound of weapons clashing against each other, as well as spells exploding left and right, resounded throughout the Seventh Floor of the Dungeon, catching Ethan’s and Nicole’s attention. “Someone is fighting,” Ethan said. “Should we go take a look?” Nicole didn’t answer right away. Originally, she just wanted to head deeper inside the Dungeon using the shortest route. However, after seeing the corpses of the Adventurers near the entrance of the Seventh Floor, she didn’t want to…

?Nicole and Samantha woke up to the smell of bacon being cooked in a pan. The Adventurers had already left the Safe Zone, leaving only them and Luca’s group. Since that was the case, Ethan deemed that it was fine to cook something warm for breakfast. After the bacon was cooked, he used the leftover oils to fry some eggs, giving it a bit of its umami. Ethan also cooked Lady Johanna’s share, making the middle-aged lady quite thankful. “You’re going to be the perfect house husband,…

?Lady Johanna nodded her head in appreciation after Nicole’s skillful display of fighting ability. ‘A candidate for the Heir Wars should have at least this level of competence,’ Lady Johanna thought. ‘But then again, this is just the beginning of the trial. I’ll only be able to see her true powers after we go deeper into the lower floors.’ After defeating the boss, a wooden chest appeared at the center of the arena. “Me! Me! Me!” Samantha raised her hand excitedly as she ran…

?After resting for nearly seven hours, Ethan, Nicole, and Samantha felt revitalized. Unlike the carefree teenagers, Lady Johanna didn’t get much sleep because she didn’t dare lower her guard inside a Dungeon. She was even feeling a little helpless because she had to follow Nicole’s Team who lacked self-awareness. Who would sleep inside in a place filled with Monsters? Also, who in their right mind would bring two beds in their storage rings? In fact, how did two beds even manage to fit…

?Just as Ethan thought that Nicole would ask them to fight the Goblin King, the young lady decided to call it a day and rest. She asked everyone to move to one of the corners of the floor so that they wouldn’t get in the way of those who wished to challenge the Boss Monster. They met some people along the way, but aside from a casual nod, none of them talked to each other and just minded their own business. Nicole then cooked a simple meal, even sharing the food with Lady Johanna, which the…

?The first floor didn’t prove much of a challenge since they simply followed behind Luca’s group, who cleared most of the little fries in the way, in order to get to their destination. This continued until they reached the third floor, where goblins started to appear in groups of three to four. Although they weren’t strong monsters, they were very fierce, and some of them would even call out to other goblins, increasing their number. The Weeping Dungeon had Goblins from the First Floor up to…

?Early the next day, Nicole, Ethan, and Samantha left their inn after having their breakfast. Nicole already bought the supplies they would need for their journey, including their sleeping bags. Of course, Ethan and Samantha had also made their own preparations for this journey. Ethan had more than enough food in his storage ring to last them two months if need be, but he didn’t tell that to the two girls. This was a habit that Lily had ingrained in him, telling him that no one would be able…
