Mark saw that everyone enjoyed the clam dishes that he served to the others and honestly, he liked the taste of the dishes as well even though he was not partial to seafood since they did come from famed restaurants and chefs from his old world.
“So how was the taste of the clam? Is it as bad as your father said?” Mark asked the twins.
He saw the twins were conflicted. The boys liked the food, but they wanted to be loyal to their father, so they didn’t answer Mark immediately.
“I’m thinking that your father didn’t like the clam that was served to him because maybe the one who did didn’t know how to cook it. If he tasted one of my dishes, I’m confident that he will love clams too.” Mark told the twins to give them an excuse.
“You’re right Mark! All of your food is delicious and I’m sure our parents would have loved every one of them,” Isaac said, and Aaron nodded.
“Thank you, kids! I love it when you praise my food. So as a thank you and a celebration, on our vacation to the oasis when we arrive at our next stop, I will prepare the food instead of Milena so she can enjoy our vacation as well!”
Everyone cheered even Milena and Nedertu and the elven sisters smiled. The sisters then said their goodbyes and told Mark that they would be expecting him tomorrow.
“Kids, go ahead and wash up so you both can rest. We will leave early tomorrow and it’s already late. Milena will help you.”
The boys obeyed and went to the bathroom to wash up while Milena followed them. In the living room, Mark was sitting drinking a cup of coffee and he gave one to Nedertu.
“Mark, the vacation that we’re going to take, is it far from here and can we invite more people?” Nedertu asked.
“To tell you the truth, the oasis is in my realm so we can’t invite others for now. Maybe someday and of course I expect you to keep this to yourself.”
Nedertu nodded vehemently when he heard that the oasis was located in Mark’s realm which normally only could be accessed by legendary wizards or especially important nobles.
“I’ll keep my mouth shut and even torture will not be enough to get the information out of me!” Nedertu said and he almost shouted.
Mark laughed and consoled the cat man.
“You don’t have to do that. If it comes to that point which I highly doubt it will, feel free to share the information. It’s not worth your life.”

“Thanks, Mark. It’s truly been a pleasure to know you. I have eaten food that was beyond my understanding but brought unforgettable taste to my palate, seen things that I couldn’t even imagine through the movies that you let us see, and now I will have the opportunity to visit realms that can only be visited by powerful people.” The cat man told Mark with a truly appreciative expression.
“You’re welcome. Actually, I was warned by my friends that I was generous to the point of stupidity that it would somehow someday cause me severe pain. I don’t care. Someday is someday and now is now. I will deal with things that would happen to me someday then but now I want to enjoy life and one way of doing that is to enjoy life with my friends and family. What’s the point of accumulating my power and possession if I’m just going to hoard it alone?”
“I truly wish that you will remain that way forever Mark.”
“Wow, suddenly things turned deep, let us go ahead and end the night, or else we’ll be crying like babies here soon.” Mark and Nedertu laughed. The coachman then went outside the RV to go back to the cart where he rested.
Mark went to his bedroom but checked the twins first. He saw that Milena was reading them the first book of the Harry Potter series but from the looks of it, they would soon complete the first book then he went to his bedroom.
While he was on his bed, he opened his System Interface and went to the skill tab. He planned to spend his skill points, but he wanted to do it correctly to avoid mistakes because even though he could reset it, he would still need to wait since he could only do so once a month.
Mark planned to focus on spending his skill points on the spells under the Space and Void Chancellor skill tree for now. The first thing that he wanted to do was to get all the new spells that appeared when he leveled up to level ninety like the spells Void Black Hole, Void Dragon, Void Mass Teleportation, Void Gate, and Inventory Boon.
He now had a total of eighty-one skill points and the first thing that he did was put a skill point on Inventory Boon since it didn’t have any requirements and the maximum skill points that he could put into it was just one.
The moment the skill point was added to the skill, he felt it. The size of his inventory grew massively, and all of the other skills related to his inventory doubled. Now he would truly not have any issues with the lack of storage.
He also added a skill point to Inventory Impartation since it was the only Inventory skill that didn’t have a point.
The next thing that Mark did was to put more points on the spells that were the requirement to get the four new spells.
The first thing that he wanted to get was the Void Black Hole spell and its requirement was three levels on Void Meteor. Since he already had one skill point on Void Meteor, Mark added two skill points on the spell to reach the required number of levels for him to be able to get Void Black Hole then he added a skill point to Void Black Hole.
The next spell that Mark wanted to get was the spell that he thought would become one of his favorites. The Void Dragon. To get it, he would need three levels on Void Hurricane and right now Void Hurricane only had a single skill point added to it, so he added two more then he put a point on Void Dragon.
Mark wanted to immediately go into the dungeon to check out his new spells, especially the Void Dragon. He wanted to check if it was going to be as beautiful as he imagined and wondered if he would be able to ride it.
“I would become a dragon knight!” Mark thought imagining himself riding the dragon.
