Mark returned to his RV as fast as he could and when he arrived there, he saw that the twins and Milena were already waiting together with Deo, Hamil’s ten-year-old son, and two other boys.

“Did you encounter any difficulty asking permission from the parents?” Mark asked Milena.

“None actually. The circus people had a high trust in you, and they don’t have any doubt that you’ll be able to protect the children.” Milena replied.

“Kids I got permission to go to the dungeon!” Mark said to the twins and their friends.

“Of course you did. They wouldn’t be able to deny you, or you’ll turn them into frogs,” Aaron said nonchalantly.

“I will not do that!” Mark laughed.

“Of course, not but they didn’t know that,” Isaac said just as nonchalantly as his brother.

“Hey, where are you learning these kinds of things!” Mark scolded the twins sternly then he saw Deo hiding behind Milena.

Mark rolled his eyes and called Deo over.

“You shouldn’t teach the boys these kinds of things, okay?” Mark said to Deo.

Deo nodded while looking at the ground.

“Okay, enough talk we’re going on an adventure. It would help if you boys took a bath first, I don’t want stinky kids with me in the space floating disc,” Mark told the five boys.

Milena led the boys inside the RV and washed the twins first then the three older boys took a shower one by one. After they were done, they headed directly to Culano dungeon while Milena said that she wouldn’t be joining them in the dungeon since she didn’t want to see stinky fish monsters.

While they were walking towards the entrance to Culano Dungeon Toby met with them.

“Mark, can I go with you? I’ll help you take care of the kids,” Toby asked.

“Did your mother allow you to go with us?”

“When Milena went to our cart to ask permission for Deo to join you, I asked Milena if she was coming with you to the dungeon, and when she told us that she wasn’t I asked my mother if I could go to help you take care of the kids and she said that if you agree I could go.”

“Okay you can go with us,” Mark said. The twins and their three friends ignored Mark and Toby and were talking to each other about what kinds of adventures they would encounter inside the dungeon.

The children were actually planning ways on how to attack the monsters so they could get stronger earlier and Mark wondered about that. He wondered if there was any age restriction on leveling up.

He also wondered how the citizens of this world gauge their power if they don’t have something as practical as a system panel. Mark thought that he would have to have an in-depth discussion about that with the elven sisters once he had the chance.

“Are we not going to bring anything with us, Mark?” Toby asked.

“Are you talking about weapons and supplies and stuff like that? No. I can conjure everything we would need like food, blankets, and stuff. We don’t need weapons since you guys are not going to be fighting. If you want to attack a monster you will have to have something long-range like a bow.”

“I have a bow! Can I get it from our cart?” Toby asked.

Mark gave his permission and Toby ran back towards his family’s cart to get his bow and arrows.

“Mark, can we get a weapon as well?” Isaac asked.

“No. No one else can attack the monsters. I don’t think you’re strong enough to use a bow. Once I create a magic wand that you can use to cast magic, I’ll allow you to attack but that will be for next time.”

Mark could hear Deo whispering to the boys that they didn’t need to worry since he brought five slingshots and some stones that they could use to attack the monsters. Mark didn’t bother to admonish the children since the purpose of this trip was to enjoy themselves and he wouldn’t limit the kids to doing something safely as throwing pebbles at the monsters. He wondered if that was enough for anyone to level up.

After a couple of minutes, Toby returned carrying a bow and quiver of arrows. Mark borrowed the weapon, stored it inside his inventory, and replicated it. He gave the replicated copy back to Toby. Mark did that so they would always have normal bows and arrows that he could replicate.

Once they arrived at the Culano dungeon’s entrance, Mark saw a constructed gate protecting the entrance. A toll booth and several guards were guarding the gate.

“Good Morning, Sir Wizard. I’m Captain Joce and I was informed that you will be coming today with your children. A messenger from the mayor rushed here and told us to allow you to enter the first floor of the dungeon,” The head guard said.

Mark thanked the captain, replicated some boxes of donuts, and gave one box to each soldier. The guards were full of smiles when they received the donuts.

Nedertu told Mark that the first floor of the dungeon was a cave flooded by at least six inches of water. Aside from the monsters, the other danger of the floor was some parts were very deep. Of course, Mark would not endanger anyone by walking in the flood. He immediately summoned a floating disc and replicated a large enough couch that everyone could sit on. He then asked the children to sit on the couch then commanded the disc to float at around six feet from the ground.

The guards gaped at Mark and the children when they saw them atop the floating disc sitting comfortably on a couch. He was glad that the dungeon’s entrance was large enough for the floating disc to go through.

Without further ado, Mark and the children entered the first floor of Culano Dungeon. Inside the dungeon, Mark and the children looked around. It was bright enough that they could see even the most distant location, but the brightness was soft and not harsh. The cave was lit up by glowing stalactites and stalagmites. Some of the plants that were on the walls and floors were glowing as well and it gave a magical, mystical feeling that brought silence to the whole group.

“It’s so pretty,” Toby whispered.

“Where are the monster!” Isaac shouted, which destroyed the moment Mark and the others were using to appreciate the beauty of the location.

Mark then heard Deo scolding Isaac. The older boy told the kids that if they wanted to be warriors, they had to be silent all the time since they wouldn’t want the noise to lead the monster to them. Issac apologized and told the older boy that he would strive to be as silent as he could.

Although the floor was beautiful with its glowing rocks and plants, it was only as wide a big corridor that would fit four carts side by side. They saw that there was a left turn in the distance, so Mark commanded the disc to float forward.

The disc was moving as fast as a man could walk. Mark and the children were all standing up to check the surroundings, so he decided to store the couch in his inventory first and for them to stand while floating forward. He would just summon the couch back once they needed to sit.
