Zilo woke up in good spirits the next day.
Of course, it barely lasted for a few seconds before Zilo screamed.
"THERE'S A NAKED SEX-CRAZED LUNATIC IN MY ROOM!"
"I'm not a sex-crazed lunatic, dammit!" Lilya yelled back.
Lilya was another member of the Order. She was the captain, and was the strongest of them, having already completed her first Limit Break, and being on the verge of the second.
"How many times have I yelled at you for going full-on Birthday Suit in the home!"
Nina yelled from downstairs.
"But clothes are too hot!" The Demihuman complained back.
Lilya was a part-Feline. She had superhuman agility and strength, but her Mana Conductivity was a little lower.
Nina, on the other hand, was a rare elf into weapon refining. The weapons she creates are amazing. Only problem was that she could take her time enchanting them.
She had completed her first Limit Break recently, giving her a wider range of abilities she could use. She decided to test a little before making Zilo's weapon.
"I completed your weapon, Zilo."
"Oh." Zilo continued eating my breakfast, as he was doing before she approached him from her room.
Then, he took a double take.
"Wait, you're done!"
"Yup!"
She had a proud smile on her face. "I'm done, and this is definitely my Magnum Opus! For now, at least."
Zilo almost drooled at that. Or maybe it was because of the half-eaten pancake in his mouth...
Ahem. Never mind.
He took the bundle in her hands to find a spear. He was kinda not hoping for that, because although it was his best weapon, the spaces he got for swinging such a huge weapon were limited.
Until he was told about it's perks by her.
"I enchanted it with Mana Conductivity. Also, I made it such that the spearhead and the spear can be disassembled into a longsword and a knife. With your strength now, you should be able to handle it."

Ooh. He was liking it more and more. Not to mention, the spear was definitely his third best weapon.
He gobbled up his remaining breakfast, and ran off, grabbing his weapon from the table. "I'm going to test it out on the seventh floor! Meet me there in 2!"
"...Dammit, he ran away before I could test him." Lilya grumbled.
"No one wants to be tested by you, Lily."
A voluptous beauty emerged from within the last room, still in here silk sleepwear. "You tend to go overboard a lot."
"Oh, cut it out, Layla. You're the worst of us, and you know it."
"That's true."
Layla was a human mage, and her specialty was known only to the Goddess and Lilya. Everyone else thought it was lightning magic, though Lilya knew it was Charm.
"Should've gone to the Luscia Order, dammit. Although I'm kinda happy you're not an enemy."
----------------------------------------
Zilo, on the other hand, was stuck in a predicament.
He had been Used the moment he entered. Using was an action that was highly abhorred in the Dungeon, although, it was never banned since many parties resorted to it to protect themselves.
"Fuck you, Soll order!"
Soll was the God of Trivia. He knew all little, useless things not many paid attention to.
He decided to go all out from the start. He used only what he knew, though since he didn't want to put his life on the line without his party to help him.
He jumped forward, using the spear. It was a wide region, so it was quite easier to use it.
He noticed his movement was much, much faster than before. Everything seemed to be moving at an extremely slow pace. Not to mention, he could even sense the approximate location of a hidden monster.
Suddenly, an image of him fighting over a hundred monsters appeared. It included him getting stabbed in the stomach.
He immediately turned around and ran, Using a party that seemed strong enough to handle it. He then climbed the floors, until he was out.
A few minutes, later, the image disappeared from the back of his mind and an announcement was made.
"The Seventh Floor is undergoing a Monster Tide. First Limit Breakers, please report to the Seventh floor entrance at the earliest."
"I repeat, The Seventh Floor..."
Zilo was relieved he ran. After all, he wasn't used to his strength, and in a way, he'd only be a dead weight.
The Seventh Floor was much harder than the Fifth, due to the Rule of Five. Every five floors, the difficulty goes up at once.
It was only possible to survive those floors by going as a party or getting much stronger than the floor monsters.
The former was obviously better, since getting strong wasn't that easy without facing stronger opponents.
----------------------------------------
Zilo, once united with his party, went inside the floor, to find barely any monsters inside.
Wait, there were no monsters at all. The floor above and below did, though...
They reported this incident to the guild and descended to the Sixth Floor.
Zilo spent the whole day using every movement he could think of to get more familiar with his newfound strength and weapon. His Ordermates helped him face monsters of a limited number.
They were all awed at his newfound strength.
'Is this guy human?'
But they all knew the reason - his stance against the animals was just that horrifying.
They shuddered trying to imagine facing over a thousand similar-leveled monsters. They respected Zilo all the more after seeing his strength.
'He will be someone whose existence we can't even fathom.'
His teammates all had this thought in their mind.
----------------------------------------
"Hmm..." I thought as I looked at the memory feedback.
"Looks like it's working just fine."
The failproof I set up seemed to work. At least, the situation resembled it.
A smile graced my lips as I went through more memories. It wasn't long before I paled, though.
"Dammit, why is my incarnation such a playboy!"
