After enjoying a long lunch break, it was time for the group to breach into the 54th Floor and start their exploration. Though they would document the approximate location of the stairs leading down, it was decided that they would stay on the 54th Floor unless it was the closest point to retreat to during the evening. Their goal became …

The group made its way down the large staircase leading to the 52nd Floor before Finn brought everyone to a stop and explained, “As you all know, from here until the 58th Floor we’ll be passing through the Dragon’s Vase. From now on, we can only stop moving when we’re on the staircases and when we read the ‘black’ zones…though …

After an uneventful rest, Vahn awoke early in the morning, around 3 AM, so that he could ensure everything was ready by the time they left at 5 AM. Since they were going to be apart for several days, everyone woke up along with Vahn and they all enjoyed a lively breakfast with each other as they talked about what …

After returning from their training session, Vahn had his usual meeting with Finn and discussed various matters that were going on with the expedition. They had been fortunate enough to only sustain a few injuries, with only one death thus far, but their reserve stock of healing supplies had started to diminish. By Finn’s approximation, they would be able to …

After enjoying a long, and somewhat interesting, lunch with the girls, Vahn made his way out of the tent and jumped down from the plateau to watch over Mikoto. She had been so focused on her training that she had likely skipped lunch so Vahn felt obligated to ‘lecture’ her a bit as her Master. Even when he showed up …

When Vahn awoke from his reverie, the first thing he thought about doing was checking his new parameters but he got a little distracted when he opened his eyes and saw Lefiya taking a nap while hugging Fenrir. As for the wolf girl herself, her eyes had been focused on him, probably during the entire hour he was unconscious. When …

Vahn had been somewhat surprised by the notification within the system because the ‘sound’ emitted when it informed him someone wanted to become his subordinate was always louder and more ‘insistent’ than others. However, it didn’t seem like he would be given time to think about it right now since, as he cast a quick glance toward the item descriptions, …

Though they could have continued for a while longer, Vahn ended up calling the excursion to an early end after a little over five hours because he had started to feel a strange ‘fullness’. All of his joints ached slightly and hit total parameters had just crept over the 6,500 mark during their earlier battles. Even though he wasn’t contributing …

As a result of the fact that Vahn’s personal regeneration enabled him to always top her off, while Fenrir actually had limitless stamina as long as she had energy within her body, the trio was able to continue their path through the Dungeon without the need for any long breaks. Vahn actually didn’t get that hungry himself, unless he had …

Once Lefiya had recovered her ‘soul’ back into her body, she spent a few awkward moments undressing as Vahn turned his back. He had seen her naked body several dozen times, but things were a little different when it was just the three of them. She normally gravitated around Ais in the bath anyway so it wasn’t as though she …
