Mark could see that a lot of people enjoyed the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends. During the thirty-minute break when everyone was eating food prepared by the circus people outside the tent, he could hear talks and arguments about the shenanigans that the kids from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry went through.
He joined Milena and the twins who were eating at one of the tables.
“So how do you find the movies?” Mark asked Milena while he was sorting out the food that he wanted to eat.
“It was fun but you’re correct, it’s a bit lacking compared to the books. I could understand since they could only show a limited amount of details compared to a huge book. Now I see why you say that the book is better. It’s about the details,” Milena answered.
“Yes. To me, the books convey a sense of seductive charm, especially to young people. I wanted to become a student of Hogwarts so bad when I read the books when I was a kid,” Mark said.
“Still the movies are great since at first I was only imagining what the characters look like or what the Hogwarts castle would look like but because of the movies, It was shown to me and it was wonderful.”
“We also like the movies but we still want to read the books. Soon we’ll be done with Chambers of Secrets and we’ll start with the third book,” Isaac said.
“I would prefer that you read them to us, Mark,” Aaron asked.
“Okay I’ll read the third book to you,” Mark promised the twins.
Mark thought he should be able to fulfill that promise since he wasn’t busy during the night before going to bed. Starting tomorrow the circus would resume its journeys so he would also resume his dungeon diving.
They all went back inside the tent to continue watching the third film Prisoner of Azkaban and Mark joined them because he still wanted to watch the audience's reaction.
After the movie ended, Hamil announced to everyone that the second part of the World of Harry Potter film festival would happen soon and they would be able to see the rest of the films in the series. Everyone cheered and the children went to their family cart to rest while the rest of the teenagers were tasked to clean up the tent.
Mark together with the twins, Nedertu and Milena went back to their cart to rest as well. That night the twins slept immediately exhausted from all the things that happened that day and Mark was feeling tired as well so he went to his bedroom to sleep. He needed to rest since he would start diving again the next day.
The twins woke Mark and when he checked the time it was already eight in the morning. During breakfast, Nedertu told him that they should reach the next village in two days. Mark told their cart coach to inform Hamil that he would be gone for the day and would return by the time they stopped for the night. He also informed the twins to obey Milena and the twins just nodded.

Mark kept the RV in the inventory once they were done with their breakfast and their cart followed the rest of the circus. Once everything was moving normally, he anchored his dungeon portal on the cart’s door and then he went directly to the twenty-seventh floor since that was the next floor he would need to conquer. The only downside to his would-be adventure for the day was he would not be able to test his void dragon in his dungeon since he would need to leave it in the circus.
He then remembered that he had forgotten about the dragon naming event even though that was supposed to happen in conjunction with the Harry Potter film festival and there was a chance that Hamil might have forgotten as well. It was not an urgent issue anyway so he would handle it at a later time. He didn’t even name his plant golems. He then thought that maybe he should name them and decided to ask the twins for their input since it would be a fun family project for them.
Dungeon level twenty-seven was still the dark and gloomy setting with undead monsters. There was still a road in a dark world and everything looked lifeless and gray but there was this tension in the air that Mark felt that only happened to him during the rare times he watched horror films.
Mark cast his Bark Skin and Space Shield and he was happy with their new strength since now they were level ten. He also remembered to cast Flight so he could fly at a moment’s notice.
The first group of monsters that he saw consisted of a huge zombie that looked like a bunch of zombies that were stitched together to form a huge monster. It was surrounded by five ghouls and five regular zombies. He also noticed a couple of wretched ghosts in the periphery.
Without further ado, Mark cast Floating Sunflower for MP management then he cast Glacial Void at the group of monsters, and all of them as one froze for a few seconds before they started moving again. He then cast Void Storm and a huge storm of energy appeared out of the void to slam into the group of undead. Void Storm was followed by Void Hurricane and the ghosts were even swept by the swirling void energy.
Mark cast his spells one after another and he missed the fact that he didn’t have to mind anything. It was almost mindless the way he let his spells slam into the monsters but it was cathartic. That was why hack-and-slash role-playing games were well-liked in his previous world. The mindless hacking and slinging of spells toward countless enemies brought relaxation to the minds of gamers much like ASMR videos.
A flaming rock from the void slammed into the slowed undead when Mark cast his Void Meteor and the impact of the rock was forceful and satisfying. He followed it with Void Chain Lightning and the energy that came from ripping the void crashed into the undead then jumped into another one and then another until the spell was exhausted.
Mark was enjoying how powerful his spells were and thought himself an idiot for not using his skill points sooner.
All the undead met their demise from the non-stop onslaught of spells from Mark and then he saw that three drops came from the group. He stored them in his inventory to check later. Mark also felt the level up that happened but he would review his status once he was done diving.
Mark continued walking down the road in this dark and gloomy world. He was glad that this was just a dungeon floor and not the real world because living in this type of environment would probably depress him or make him insane. He made sure to refresh his defense spells and then moved forward.
The next location was surprise, surprise, at another cemetery. Mark saw five ghouls roaming the cemetery but knew that zombies were lurking underground. He also knew that ghosts would appear once he attacked. In this next battle, he decided to utilize his summons and then assist them with his plant attack spells.
