Ank The previous fight with the mummy gave my sister and I enough [Experience Points] to level up twice, bringing us to [Level: 54], and helped me to realize I needed more defensive power too, so I invested my spell points in [Summon: Fake breastplate] and [Summon: Fake Helmet] – just like the fake weapons, these armor pieces were greenish …

Ank Blood dripped from my face, as I barely avoided having my head separated from the rest of my body by the greenish, rusty two-handed copper axe that the creature before us held. About just half a meter taller than us, the being was bipedal, and with a perfect militaristic posture, but, while its muscles were swollen, and its luminescent green …

Ank I was a little scared. Okay, maybe a lot scared. Why? Because, after we rested for some time at Taffy’s house, we gathered our stuff, and said our goodbyes yet another time. Then, however, the woman replied with “make sure you have all you need for the journey~”, and, I know this is what I should have been expecting in …

Ank When I woke up, I was already at Taffy’s house. Apparently, the “sun” inside the [Dungeon] was the place’s core itself, and it teleported us back to the surface shortly after we defeated the last boss, and, thankfully, my sister didn’t meet any monster on her way back; she said she used the generic skill we unlocked at level …

Ank The last [Dungeon] boss took a selfless offensive posture, and roaring and drooling, it slashed blindly with its huge claws: my wolves were split in multiple parts in just an instant, and while Hunah escaped, she then displayed two bloody cuts across her chest and legs. “S***”, I cursed. I had no idea what kind of summon would work …

Ank “Here we are”, I said, holding Hunah’s hand. “The last boss room.” We’ve been for an unknown amount of time inside that [Dungeon], but it definitely wasn’t a short one; we explored hundreds of underground tunnels and rooms, walked through kilometers of snowy forest and caves painted to the ceilings with rudimentary hunting images, and climbed the tallest tree …

Ank Hey, the rest of the time on the 2nd floor, wasn’t that bad at all. We hunted tens of monsters scattered throughout the entire forest, leveled up a bit, collected some more items, and I even managed to unlock the summoning of those [Cervalces scotti]. Finally, then, there was only the 2nd floor’s boss remaining: [Species: (D – boss) Bison latifrons, …

Ank Not differently from the first floor, my sister and went on a hunt for every single dungeon creature in the forest, and after I needed to shave quite a few more times, and a bunch of new scars later, both of us rested inside a cave, warmed by a fire while preparing moose meat. “Do you think this space is infinite?”, …

Ank In the end, the underground labyrinth was surprisingly big. How big? “Do you think this beard looks good on me?”, I asked, passing my fingers through the stubs of beard that had started to grow on my face. Surely, I hadn’t been in that earth labyrinth for years, but my and my sister’s hair had grown one or two …

Ank With not really any other option, my sister and I proceeded off the starting room, and we found ourselves in a slightly brighter irregular earth tunnel; illuminated by pulsing yellow roots that dig through the ground, ceiling and walls. Just a few meters ahead, the corridor branched in three different directions. Once we had no clue whatsoever about where …
