Mark checked the time and it was around two in the afternoon. Since it was still early he was relaxing in his bathtub in his villa on the eleventh floor while checking his status page. He earned four levels on the twenty-ninth floor so his current level increased to ninety-nine from ninety-five.
His current free stat points were nine and his skill points were nine, which meant he could now put skill points on his new skill Void Gate allowing him to anchor a gate to a specific location. He thought of hastily going back to the city of Argent and anchoring a gate there but when he said his goodbyes to Natasha, they both knew that it would be a permanent goodbye for their relationship and returning to the city to reestablish their relationship would be very complicated for both of them.
Mark then thought of flying back to Culano Village so he could establish a gate there so they would have access to a dungeon that they could use to level up but then again Nedertu did mention to him once that through the course of their travel, they would encounter different dungeons and he would prefer to anchor a gate to a new dungeon instead.
Suddenly Mark remembered that he was supposed to kill the bosses on the tenth and twentieth floors of his dungeon but he decided to just do it at a later time since he was feeling lazy and had already taken a bath.
After a few more minutes of relaxing, he ate some light snacks and then returned to the RV. The moment Mark went outside his room he saw the kids watching Naruto. When Liriel and the twins saw him, they all ran towards him. Liriel hugged his legs and then looked up at him and raised her hands telling him that she wanted to be picked up so he did. The twins hugged him as well and then kept babbling about the episodes of Naruto they had seen so far while Liriel was clinging to his neck.
The kids clearly missed him but Mark knew that they would sooner or later get used to his schedule but it did warm his heart how close the kids were to him. The RV was moving slowly following the circus caravan so it wasn’t difficult to walk inside the RV. Mark sat on the couch in the living room where Milena and her assistant were waiting while she was holding the remote control which was playing the anime Naruto and was currently on pause. The other two assistants were with Nedertu watching him drive.
“Did you encounter any problem?” Mark asked Milena.
“No problem. Liriel only noticed you were gone when we were about to eat lunch. She noticed that I was the one serving the food so she ran everywhere inside the RV looking for you but when she didn’t find you I told her that you went somewhere and you’ll be back in an hour or two. She ate lunch with us and sat on the sofa staring at the wall so I played Naruto and she began watching with the twins,” Milena answered.
“I’m so glad that you’re a very good little girl and didn’t throw a tantrum when you found out I’m gone,” Mark said to Liriel and the little girl giggled.
“I have a gift for you little princess,” Mark then showed the bracelet to Liriel.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Mark then slid the bracelet onto Liriel’s arm and the bracelet size magically adjusted so it fits the little girl's arm perfectly. A blue glowing wisp came out of the bracelet that brought a gasp to the twins and Milena.
Liriel giggled when she saw the wisp and tried to catch it. The guardian wisp allowed the little girl to hold it so it looked like Liriel was holding a tiny light in her hand.
“What is that?!” Isaac asked.
“It’s a guardian wisp from the bracelet. The wisp would follow Liriel all the time and guard her. The wisp could heal Liriel’s injury with a heal spell. It also can cast a mage shield that would protect the little girl from harm and it can also shoot Mage Bolt to those creatures that would harm Liriel,” Mark answered.
Everyone was amazed at the powerful guardian wisp and its three abilities. When Liriel let go of the wisp, it floated just above Liriel’s head, and then suddenly it hid inside the little girl’s hair causing Liriel’s hair to glow with bluish light.
“Liriel, you’re so pretty with your hair glowing!” Aaron said to the little girl and Liriel just giggled.
“What about us, where’s our gift?” Isaac asked.
“I’ll give you the Wand of Ice Bolt and the Necklace of Fire Bolt so both of you can cast the Ice Bolt and Fire Bolt spell but since the items are very dangerous, I will only give them to you during those times that you will need them like if we’re going dungeon diving or some enemy is attacking our circus,” Mark told the twins.
At first, the twins pouted but then they turned to the television and asked Milena to continue playing the show. While the twins were watching, Mark called Milena.
“This item is called a Message Ring. It’s a pair of rings that we would wear. It would allow us to message each other while I’m away. One cast of its message spell would consume one charge and it would allow us to speak to each other’s mind for as long as two minutes. It had ten charges and would earn one charge per hour. You can contact me through this ring in case there’s an emergency and I need to return from my dimension.”
Of course, Mark didn’t tell Milena the actual name of the ring which was the Legendary Lover’s Ring.
“It’s like we’re getting married!” Milena said while laughing and looking at the ring.
Mark just rolled his eyes at their cook then joined the twins in watching Naruto. Liriel was still clinging to his neck and he just let her but soon the little girl got tired and went and sat with the twins and played with the wisp while watching Naruto.
Soon night arrived and everyone felt the RV stopping so Mark went outside and summoned the second RV where Milena would cook with the help of her assistants. Connor and Norleen were with Nedertu watching him drive while Lisa was watching Naruto with them.
The twins ran outside to play with their friends while Liriel was still with Mark watching him closely as if the little girl were afraid that he would disappear again.
The Void Dragon with Hamil riding on it flew down and parked beside Mark’s RVs. Hamil greeted him then ran off toward his cart to check with his family.
While Milena was cooking with her assistants, Nedertu and Connor went somewhere so Mark decided to play with Liriel.
“Little girl, do you want to fly with me and look at the stars?”
Liriel giggled and nodded and that meant that the little girl could understand what he was saying and was now responding to him. Mark cast Fly then flew while carrying Liriel with his Telekinesis. They flew above the circus with the wisp following Liriel. High above, Mark and Liriel looked at the stars that were shining and twinkling like precious gems laid out on a dark blue velvet cloth.
Mark then carried Liriel in his arms and sang the song Twinkle Little Star. After some time, they went down and joined their family for dinner.
