'I love you, Pef!' a loving voice entered my mind.

I glanced down at my feet, where an emerald-green cat was purring and head-butting my leg.

'Uh. Your fluffy fur is nice and all, but see...' I answered back a bit confused.

'This is your wife speaking via telepathy. What the hell are you doing, to confuse me with some furry monster?' Lisa asked me in a harsher mental tone.

'Lisa! Nice to hear from you. So, I tamed a cat. And I thought it spoke in my mind...' I answered in a relieved tone.

'...fluffy fur, huh?' Lisa teased me while the cat frowned at me.

'Fluffiest of all.' I said in a convinced tone.

A foxy grin somehow got sent like an emote. Perhaps she didn't believe me. Feeling is believing though.

And my new Mystic cat was definitely very fluffy.

Then I grabbed the cat and ran towards home, if a tent inside a murderous Dungeon could be called that. Nevermind. My wife was there waiting, and that made it home.

The good thing was that I didn't have to worry about the cat getting hurt by monster attacks while running home. The thing was more durable than I was!

Which was quite a strange thing to discover. Probably not via Endurance, but some sort of Magic Skill.

Even a Dragon with its ridiculous Endurance and durable scales could still be hit and damaged, just very hard to do. But the cat was impervious to anything.

'Do not speak out loud, husband. I think the Dungeon can hear us.' Lisa said just as I entered Floor 18.

'Roger that. So, this is my tamed cat, Mystic.' I answered and held the cat out for her to gaze upon it's fluffiest coat of fur.

Lisa smiled at my cat and held out her hand, only for my cat to high-five her like it was a normal thing. Then it jumped from my arms into hers, and Lisa just hugged and petted the monster like it was a long-lost family member.

"Who is the fluffiest of them all? You are!" she whispered in a loving tone.

The cat purred louder.

'The cat eats monster crystals.' I warned her, before she got too attached to our new pet.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Lisa just nodded. 'Like those Xenos from Orario. But they were sapient as well. Almost like the Case 52's...' she reminisced to her Worm universe.

'About that. The Cauldron base is exactly in this spot in your world. Also the place where Eden crashed and then Contessa killed the second Entity, taking its main Shard, the Path to Victory.' I added with a tiny shrug.

Lisa scowled and dropped the cat, rubbing her temples as if under a huge headache. 'Damn it. This means I have to be careful when using my Divination, and not breach the dimension veil.'

Smart! See? I knew she'll get it fast. I had the best wife of them all!

Lisa came to hug me, then noticed my naked and aroused body. 'Hah. I guess that Green Dragon wasn't so hard.' she hummed while taking my little brother in her mouth.

'It was pretty tough. Killed me twice...' I answered as my body began to relax.

Lightening myself with my Chi, I felt like floating under my wife's loving ministrations, until I burst like a fountain.

Lisa dropped her clothes and climbed on me for a ride, losing herself in pleasure. Hours later, she hugged me tight and relaxed as well. 'This was nice, hubby. But now watch this!' she said while taking out a gleaming yellow potion from her inventory.

*Endurance potion, common grade. Adds +1 Endurance to any human.

'So the vials themselves are not safe?' I asked to make sure.

'There is a lingering feeling on them. Almost like a spell or curse. It vanishes once I use my Job and transform it into a Potion.' she answered with a warning tone.

I sipped the yellow potion which tasted like lemon and vomit. Orc vomit. Nasty.

+1 Endurance.

'Do they stack?' I asked curious. Not really hopeful though.

'Only in the inventory. Not in our stats.' Lisa said with a calm voice.

Made sense though. It would be far too easy to stack 100 Endurance otherwise.

A few more Potions granted me some extra Strength and Speed, which was a decent way to get stronger without wasting free points. If we were to go deeper inside the Dungeon, we will need to max out on Potions made from every monster around.

'Mystic, come here!' I urged the cat mentally, but I was ignored.

'Hah. You're not a telepathic Esper, silly Pef.' Lisa said amused, and called the bored cat to her.

But instead of giving it a potion, she gave the cat a vial of Orc blood instead. 'Potions are meant only for humans. But I think a monster can ingest another's monster blood without problem, if they can eat crystals.' she deduced with her genial brain.

The green cat lapped the blood like it was milk, then purred loudly and went to curl in Lisa's lap.

'I'd guess it works.' I determined with my slightly better Mind powers.

Lisa just smirked. 'We need to reach Level 40 next. And farm more monsters for food. Mystic needs food too.'

I shrugged unconcerned. It was my Job after all. Massacring monsters was a pleasure.

'Let's raid up and check the surface a bit. Then back to Floor 24 and 25. We'll need to collect as many different vials we can. Dragon vials grant Magic.' I said in a mild tone, holding out the loot from the Green Dragon.

The cat perked up as it saw the Dragon blood, but Lisa stored the vial in inventory and petted the cat. "You'll get one as well, Mystic. But we need it first." she said out loud, and the cat nodded in a serious manner.

Hmmm. Probably almost sapient then. I shouldn't confuse a Dungeon spawned monster for a house cat. Even if it was rather fluffy.
