The Dungeon (Part one)
I suddenly sat up. I had never gotten such type of notification before, a new function? What was all of this about? I thought.
"Zeroll, is everything alright?" Ashira asked sounding concerned.
"Yeah, everything is fine, you don't need to worry about it." I smiled, tucking the strands of her hair behind her ear. "I might have to go out sometime soon, there is something I have to take care of."
"And you were complaining that you had nothing to do. But what's the hurry? it's dark already you shouldn't leave now."
I looked through the window, sun was already down the starry sky was ruling the skies. It still amazed me even though I knew it was all just a hologram.
"Come, I want to show you something." I said taking Ashira's hand in mine and took her outside. People and monsters were all roaming around peacefully, nodding and bowing at us when they saw us. The wars, The battles, they all seemed to be lost in the thought, humans were busy having drinks with werewolves in the bars exchanging stories about themselves. Goblins were busy entertaining the bystanders with elemental magic, the children were excitedly jumping every time the goblin pulled out a butterfly made of fire. The ogres along with human architects and engineers were busy repairing the damages caused because of the unnecessary bloodshed, but now it was all forgotten everyone was enjoying themselves.
We finally arrived to the place, the same place where Kayla and I had a chat, back when life was a lot simple than it is now.
"Look." I said, pointing at the stars above, hugging Ashira from behind.
"It looks... so beautiful!" Her eyes reflecting the stars above. "Thank you so much!"
We sat down on the road, stargazing. But it wasn't enough, something was missing. Then it hit me, and I summoned everyone out.
"Your orders, my lord?" everyone except Bruno asked kneeling before me.
"I don't have any orders to give to you guys, but I do have a request." I replied.
"A request, my lord?" Hades asked.
"Yes, um... would you mind joining us, and maybe relax a bit? I never got a chance to show you my gratitude for all the things you've done for me, for us. So thank you!" I said bowing to them.
"M-My Lord! Please don't do it, we're just your servants after all!" Arabella exclaimed.
"Servants? When have I ever told you that you were my servants? To me all of you are my friends, my family and my comrades."
"My lord..." Goliath murmured.
"So you can speak after all!" I smiled. "And enough with this 'my lord' nonsense, all of you will now have to call me by my name. And you're allowed to roam around as much as you'd like, I've also ordered special rooms to be made to accommodate all of you."
"But my lord-"
"It's an order, Hades." I said sternly.
"As your wish, m- I mean Zeroll." Arabella smiled.
"That's better now come, sit back and relax. I want to spend some time with my family." I said sitting back next to Ashira.
"Woof!" Bruno barked and laid down near Ashira, and so did Hades and Arabella, Goliath however preferred to remain standing.
"This is a family I could get used to!" Ashira laughed scratching Bruno's back. "Thank you once again, Zeroll. I'll cherish this day for as long as I live." I just smiled at her and we went back at gazing the stars. My life was truly complete now.
*THE NEXT MORNING*
I opened my eyes, the sun was already out. I surely slipped out of my bed, trying not to disturb Ashira, put on my shirt and went outside for a walk.
"Nicholas, show me my status, will you?"

********************
At least now it's showing what type of summon is the level 50 monster. I should better prepare to leave for the dungeon. I thought.
"Nicholas, show me the location of the dungeon."
A holographic map appeared in front of me. The dungeon appears to be close enough to Livania. But I still didn't know what type of monsters and challenges I'll have to face down there, unless...
"Nicholas, do you have any information about the dungeon you informed me about yesterday?"
************************
THIS INFORMATION IS RESTRICTED.
************************
This was now a day to day 'excuse' of Nicholas. Whenever I asked about something it just informs me that I don't have the access to the information, even when I questioned him about these existence of the monstrous 'Gods', and when I asked him about who was the one restricting the information, Nicholas went completely silent. I tried again and again to make Nicholas talk about it but not once was I able to do so. Maybe this dungeon would be able to answer at least a few of my question, if not all.
I guess I'll have to find it out myself then. I thought.
