In the apartment, I spent a little more time cooking than usual. I managed to make a pizza imitation. Of course, I didn't have ingredients like on Earth, but I managed to find quite a few equivalents.

However, I had the impression that the taste was even better than regular pizza... Different but better. I can consider it a success.

I checked on Sunny, and nothing has changed.

"First, she ate as much as she could, now she sleeps... Comfortable life." - I laughed.

I lay in bed and started reading, this time about dragons. I have seen many different dragons that were familiar many times. Most often I met mini-dragons or dog-dragons. And well, I wanted Sunny to go the dragon way. Plus the powers of light, water, and plants... I didn't know if the effect would be exactly like I wanted, but everything will turn out with time.

The crystal tablet disappeared and I closed my eyes. No nightmares, again. Nice change. In the morning I woke up to a notification from the crystal tablet. It was already 9 o'clock...

"Whaaat?" I stared at the numbers that appeared in front of my eyes.

I just received a transfer for the remaining herbs... The amount was exactly 350,000 coins. I can even buy a house with it! The end of living in a small apartment, it's time for a full-fledged and own home! Maybe even with my own greenhouse?

Spatial magic is also used to grow plants here... The greenhouses are small on the outside and gigantic on the inside. Lily once showed me a greenhouse that belongs to her family... They had to work a lot to be able to afford such a large one.

Of course, if I buy a big house, I won't be able to buy a big greenhouse... But a small one is more than enough for my own use.

My own use... Thought crossed my mind and I looked at the chrysalis under the bed.

It wasn't a very optimistic thought. Will Sunny's appetite get even bigger? Will it be normal? I had no idea. I decided that I should wait with such a serious purchase until I know everything. Money shouldn't run away from me, rather.

I wrote to Lily to thank her and her dad for helping me sell these herbs. I also wrote that such a large amount of money almost knocked me out of bed... Hahah...

"I'm not surprised! Hahaha! Dad promised we'd go on vacation with the money from the sales commission. You can't imagine how long we haven't had a vacation."

I smiled. Nice... I finally got out of bed and started making breakfast. I had a craving for meat with fruits and so I did.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

After breakfast, I got another message. This time it was Light. He wanted me to come to his office. He probably wants to talk with me more about the dungeon.

I got dressed and took my bag.

"See you later, Sunny." - I closed the door carefully.

After a short walk, I reached the office. Light was already waiting in his bureau, there was a really big pile of papers next to him.

"Good morning, William. The data from your tablet has been analyzed. And it appears that something is wrong... I mean, a few things are missing, like there's a memory hole. Have you changed anything in the settings?" - he asked me with a serious facial expression.

I think I knew what it was... Possibly Edan changed something in my tablet...

"No, I had no reason to change anything" - basically, it was true.

"Hm... Mhm... We'll have to investigate this more closely. If it's a failure, it could be dangerous in the future..." - he nodded. - "How is your familiar? You have found an amazing treasure... Have you already chosen the path for it?" - he changed the topic.

"Ohh... Yes. Well, I wanted a dragon. With the power of light, water, and plants."

"That's... A very good idea... But I'm afraid it could be really expensive... And it won't end with one pupation... Haven't you thought about that? - he killed my hopes for a big house and I felt like a moron. - On the other hand, a familiar with light magic counts toward your own light-use ability, so there's hope I can arrange regular supplies for you... Or money, and you'll have to do a lot of shopping."

My hopes were revived.

"Thank you... That would be a huge help! Now I have a question... Can we start my lessons in using light magic? I already meet all the requirements you gave me." - I said excitedly.

"Yes, Aria mentioned it... We can start. Every day at 12. I don't have much time, so the training will last a maximum of half an hour, inform me earlier if you can't appear for some reason." - Light informed me.

"Sure, I'll try not to disappoint you! Aria also mentioned that I have a chance to go to another world to train? And all in all... I feel treated harder than others... Even though I'm human... I often have more difficult things. Why?" - I finally asked him.

Light looked at me thoughtfully for a moment.

"Aria said that you have a talent in using magic... Once you understand something, you make very fast progress. And the incident in the dungeon only confirmed that. You've made progress in a week that would normally take someone else up to a year... It doesn't mean that you will have more freedom... You have Exceed genes, and there is hope that someday you will be able to use the full potential of this breed. And to achieve this, you have to train to the limits of your abilities..." - he explained to me.

"That explains a lot... But it's a bit... Scary? Don't get me wrong, you expect me to suddenly become a full-fledged furry... I'm not saying I don't like it, but... It's a huge deal. It's like a complete change of identity. Even if I could shapeshift." - I explained to him.

"It's true... Therefore, in case of anything, speak openly if something does not suit you. We have no right to force you, but as long as you agree with all training instructions... You will have to train to your limits." - Light.

"I will remember... All right... Then I'll go. Bye." - I got up and headed out.

I had no intention of slowing down... But a different kind of thought began to run through my mind. Maybe I should ask Light to at least send a message to my family? To assure them that I'm fine, that I've found a great job, and that I can travel a lot during this... But contact will be extremely difficult. I had no idea if this was allowed or even legal? I'd have to do some more research... Light mentioned short people selling pills when we first met... Dwarves? Or other races in their size...
