Anton saw that his Father and Anna were preparing to rest. Normally at this time, they would spend some time telling him a lot of things like common things that people should be aware of since he lost his memory, and then after that, they would either tell stories or listen to him play the lute but everyone was exhausted due to the excitement repairing the items and equipment brought.

He then told his family that he would rest early and Anders and Anna just nodded. When he went inside his tent Anton contemplated what happened to him so far, especially the change that Diablo II recently did about his private stash and inventory. This fact made him realize that the game has some sort of sentience or possibly Artificial Intelligence that governs it or else it would not have increased his inventory and storage. He wondered if he should be happy or wary but he remembered that he couldn’t do anything about it so he would just accept the gift without worrying too much about it but still, the change did worry him a little since sometimes a gift was not a gift but a trade and he wondered if his system would somehow take something important from him in exchange.

Again, there’s nothing he could do about it even if it did but Anton was praying that the gift was just a gift. He then entered the game virtually to continue leveling up his character.

Anton was level thirty and he was about to defeat the iconic boss Diablo. He had practiced his new spell Frozen Orb for hours and honestly, he was way over-leveled for Diablo in Normal Difficulty.

When he unsealed the seals and the unique monsters with their minions appeared, it brought Anton a lot of experience and tons of items. The moment he saw Diablo, the monster was indeed terrifying just like Andraste, Duriel, and Mephisto before it. The real monsters were way more terrifying in real life compared to seeing them in front of a screen.

He did come in prepared with lots of mana potions so he started casting his Frozen Orb towards Diablo. The monster charging at Anton brought primal fear within him that would have stunned him if he were not used to fighting monsters all day and his Teleport skill did help a lot. He kept spamming Static Field whenever there was a chance and he was thankful that he waited until he had Frozen Orb since the boss monster was too fast and the slow that Frozen Orb caused it helped him as well.

After a while Diablo died and there were a lot of unique items that dropped including the accessory Stone of Jordan. Since he was wearing a mediocre ring that increased fire resistance, he exchanged it with Ring of Jordan for the additional skill point to all spells and the huge mana increase it provided. His level remained at thirty since he had recently leveled up by farming the unique monsters and their minion in the Chaos Sanctuary.

Anton couldn’t wait to complete the Normal Difficulty so he could begin farming the Nightmare Difficulty for runes so he could form decent runeword items like the Spirit Sword, Lore Helm, and Ancient Pledge.

Anton knew that he would have to pray to the Diablo II gods like Mr. Llama so he would receive the items that he was hunting for. He immediately used the town portal scroll so he could go back to the Pandemonium Fortress and travel to the next act.

When he arrived there, he checked the time first and Anton noticed that it was late so he decided to rest since they would travel early the next day.

Morning arrived and Anton’s sister woke him up.

“Wake up brother. Please prepare the bathtub and mana water for us. I want to take a bath,” Anna said outside his tent.

Anton went outside his tent and went to the area in the trees near them and laid down the bathtub and privacy screen they purchased from the village. He also laid down a huge barrel and filled it with water and he was glad that the water volume from the spell Frozen Orb spell was so huge that the barrel could be filled with one cast of the spell. He also brought out the bucket toiled that the carpenter made for them and damaged it a bit so he could let the game repair and clean it.

When everything was ready, he joined his family for breakfast which was some sort of animal that was roasting over the fire. The season was so fine that any one of them could enter the forest and at a moment's notice they would be able to find food and all of them were fat and juicy.

“Anna the bath is ready and you can use the toilet bucket that we prepared. I already damaged it so once you’ve used it just cover it and I will have my magic clean it for the next person.”

“What do you mean that you damage it, sir?” Devon asked.

“If you noticed yesterday, all the items that I’ve repaired came out clean. We brought something from the village that we could use as a toilet and after every use, I would then use my magic to clean it but it had to be damaged first, or else my magic wouldn’t clean it. That also meant no more laundry for us but soiled clothing needed to be damaged as well. And please don’t call me sir. Anton is just fine,” He told Devon.

Nermina and Lunelle smiled when they heard that they didn’t need to do laundry and that they could take a bath using mana water.

Since the weather was fine, Anton told his sister that he was feeling lazy and didn’t heat the water which she just replied that it was fine.

After Anna, Anton cleaned the bathtub and the toilet bucket by putting them in his inventory using Telekinesis and had the game repair them. He was glad that he damaged them first so he didn’t have to do it while the things were dirty. He then filled the barrel with water again and asked Nermina to go next and to save time Lunelle joined her mother.

After the women, Anton was next then his father then the guards. It actually took them an hour and a half before everyone was done.

“Father I think we need to add another bathtub, toilet bucket, privacy screen, and a huge water barrel so we could have a couple of toilets that we could use while we’re camping to save time.”

“You’re right son. I will do so once we arrive in the next village which was four days away from here. “

“How many villages more before we arrived in Tiande City?” Anton asked.

“It used to be three more villages after the next one but one of the villages disappeared and we’re thinking it was done by bandits.” It was Lucas who answered.

“I hope we don’t encounter bandits,” Anna said.

Anton then knew that since Anna raised a red flag, they would definitely encounter bandits so he mentally prepared himself.
