Exploring the Dungeon

While Glass was in the Dungeon with his new friends, back in Orario the situation was much different. The Guild had sent people to investigate the cause of the incident but couldn't find any clues even after a few days.

In an old abandoned church, a white-haired figure had woken up to be greeted by familiar faces. "Bell - Kun!" a few people all said at once.

Yes, the white-haired figure was Bell Cranel who had just awaken from his sleep. When Glass had fallen, Bell shouted until he had fainted. It wasn't for a few hours that others had found him lying down collapsed on the ground by himself.

They had brought him out of the Dungeon and reported it immediately to the Guild and sent him to the church where Hestia was waiting for his return. Since that day he had been asleep the entire time when Glass had fallen into the abyss.

In front of him, Bell saw Hestia, Eine and Syr from the Hostess of Fertility awaiting him. When he turned to look at Hestia, Bell's eyes became blurry as tears began dripping down his face.

"Kami - Sama, Glass - San, he... he..." Bell cried.

Hestia too cried as she embraced his softly.

"It's my fault... Glass - San pushed me back when he noticed the ground was collapsing... I should have fallen with him" Bell continued.

"No, Bell - Kun, Glass - San wanted you to live. If not he wouldn't have saved you" Eine told him softly. Syr nodded in agreement at Eine's words.

"Besides, if both of you had fallen, what would happen to Hestia - Sama? I'm sure Glass - Kun is alright, he is very strong after all" Eine continued.

Even though he heard their words, Bell continued crying in Hestia's arms. When he stopped crying, he wiped away his tears along with Hestia's. He suddenly looked as though he had matured as his eyes were filled with determination.

"Kami - Sama, Eine - San, Syr - San, I'm going to become much, much stronger. When I do, I will have enough strength to find Glass - San. I'm sure wherever he is, Glass - San will become stronger when he returns, I can't hold him back" Bell told them with a firm look.

The three of them looked at him and smiled as Eine and Syr said their goodbyes and left the room. Bell continued staying in Hestia's embrace as he stared outside the window for a long time.

"Glass - San, when we meet again, I will have become stronger, when the time comes, will you party up with me again?" Bell thought.

...

Ding! Ding!

Back in the Dungeon of Aciras, Glass could be seen fighting against multiple monsters at once by himself.

Holding his sword, Glass faced dozens of the First Floor Monsters by himself. The Monsters in front of him consisted of both Goblins and Kobolds, however, they were much stronger than the ones in Orario and were even different in color.

However, Glass who is already approaching Level 2 naturally wouldn't have trouble beating them. He held his sword as he dashed into them.

Whoosh!

He waved his sword which killed groups of Monsters with just a single swing. Their heads all dropped from their necks as Magic Stones dropped on the ground continuously.

Omaos and Yheia watching him spoke softly, "Glass - San is strong, to think he could get so far with just a few days in the Dungeon" Yheia said.

"Looks like he won't need our help until at least the Tenth Floor, with his growth rate, he should be able to catch up to us soon" Omaos agreed as he gripped his Yellow rank Adventurer's badge.

Whoosh!

When Glass finished taking care of the Monsters, he picked up the Magic Stones and thought to himself, "The Monsters are a lot stronger than the ones in Orario, the Magic Stones they drop are larger too. But now that I think about it, I forgot to ask about my Level"

"Since I'm already an Adventurer of Orario, do I get the same system as they do? Where does the power come from? Does it just appear automatically when I register?" Glass thought.

As if they could read his thoughts, Yheia spoke, "Who knows, it is a strange phenomenon indeed. Just by registering with the Guild, somehow you automatically gain the power to Level up. The Guild does use a special material when making documents, that is probably the reason"

"I see, can you guys read my mind?" Glass asked.

"Haha, we can't but we did forget to mention it earlier and we thought that you might be wondering about it" Omaos replied.

Glass nodded as he followed them to the next Floor. The First Floor was a cave just like the Dungeon of Orario, instead the cave walls were red in color and had various places that were filled with large fiery red boulders.

Along the way, Glass had fought dozens of Monsters by himself and also Leveled up rapidly.

He was now Level 15 and had made all of his stats almost equal and not specializing in anything. After listening to the twins' advice, he thought that it would be the best choice for him who could handle anything.

The only thing that he was lacking now was Magic. Now that he was Level 15 and can reach the Tenth Floor by himself, he was already more than qualified to become an Orange rank Adventurer.

Once he cleared the Tenth Floor, Glass reached Level 17 as the three of them headed back down to Aciras. When they were back out, it was already dark and a carriage was waiting for them in front of the Dungeon.

The three of them headed inside and arrived at the mansion shortly. Since they were in the Dungeon, Yheia had no time to make dinner herself.

"So, how did it go today?" Ateus asked.

"It was good" Glass replied as he ate his food.

"Glass - San, is strong, he made it to the Tenth Floor by himself, if we weren't running low on time, he could've gotten much higher" Yheia told her grandfather.

"The Tenth Floor? By himself you say? Aye, so the boy we just happened to help is a strong one" Ateus laughed heartily as he said.

Glass ate as he felt embarrassed by their praise and tried to keep his head low when he ate. After dinner, the three of them headed to sleep.

"Err, Yheia - San, don't tell me we are going to sleep together again?" Glass asked nervously.

"Why? Do you dislike it?" Yheia replied to him.

"No, but erm a male and female shouldn't be sleeping together" Glass told her. "Hehehe, I'm just teasing you, your room will be next door to my room" Yheia replied.

"Oh, okay" Glass said, "Good night" Yheia said as Glass replied with good night as well.

Inside his room, he found that his bed was right against Yheia's bed through the wall that separated their rooms. After taking off his equipment and taking a bath, he immediately went to sleep and slept like a log until morning.
