Micro Habitat! Returning To The Slime Dungeon!

Sen was beyond tired, as soon as the three of them arrived back at their house, he had a quick shower, and got changed for bed. He had a sudden thought however, Titanella had been expressing her discomfort whilst sleeping within their house. Sen had an idea, and opened the system shop. He searched for "Giant Dog Micro Habitat", and immediately, he found what he was looking for.

It was a [Mythical] Grade compound spell that allowed the user to open a sub-dimension containing a micro-habitat for a Young Pooch. 'System, when did I gain access to Mythical Items?'

{You gained access to Mythical Grade Items after you reached Level 50! Prices of Mythical Items range from Ⱡ 125,001 - 1,000,000}

'I see, now, let's see this Item description, it's bound to be very expensive.'

{Canine Haven Micro-Habitat

Price: Ⱡ 500,000

Rarity: Mythical

Step into the enchanting world of the Canine Haven Micro-Habitat, a sub-dimension meticulously crafted to nurture and raise a Young Pooch rank canine from the magnificent realm of Canisoris.

Choose the Canine Haven Micro-Habitat from the System's shop, and embark on a journey of companionship, growth, and shared destiny with your Young Pooch of Canisoris.}

'Do all vendors for this shop talk like this?'

{Not all of them, but a large majority of them do!}

Of course, once he pulled up the description for the micro-habitat, Sen's other party members who weren't present all saw this shop item. It would be an understatement to say that they were impressed. Of course, Woofzilla and Dogzilla were both capable of creating entire realms, but it still took a lot of time, patience, and power to do so.

[ "A System Shop? I may see if I can acquire some items from it. The ability to sell an entire sub-dimension as an item in a shop is just mind-blowing. This System will never cease to amaze me!"]

[ "This is indeed an unexpected, but welcome discovery!"]

[ "You always underplay unprecedented discoveries dear!"]

[ "I do no such thing, cheeky monkey!"]

[ "Wow! You've found a micro-habitat for me? You're so amazing Sen!"]

Titanella's tail was wagging like crazy, and her tongue was lolling out of her mouth from all the excitement.

[ "That- that's just insane! I'd say go ahead and buy it Sen!"]

Their reactions were what Sen had been expecting from them, he'd had a similar reaction to it, it had just been a more internalised reaction. He bought the micro-habitat, and couldn't help but be grateful for their now nigh unlimited budget, thanks to Sindra Berlock! After opening the sub-dimension, they all marvelled at the perfect quality of it, this was a Mythical Rarity store item, and it definitely lived up to the hype. After Titanella had settled down in her new micro-habitat, Sen went to bed, and fell asleep immediately.

After waking up, Sen got up early and completed some training in [Simulation Mode]. The difficulty had certainly increased, it always spawned in virtual enemies who were a few levels above him. They now used much more complex buffs and debuffs. Their buffs included more-focused strength which would only buff a specified body part, and it would be a much higher level of strength. Another of the buffs was a more powerful version of haste, which increased the virtual enemy's attack speed tenfold.

After finishing that up, he went back inside and discovered that Martha was making breakfast. Titanella helped with carrying things around on her back, since her paws weren't exactly ideal for helping out in the kitchen. It was a Full Breakfast, Sen had informed Martha about it during the night out with the guild. It was nice to eat something so delicious and less healthy every once in a while.

After finishing breakfast, Sen remembered the unfinished Slime Dungeon in Yggdrasil's Seedling. He brought Martha and Titanella to the entrance, he'd told both of them more about it along the way, but they were still impressed when they arrived. "It certainly is a beautifully designed entrance, a welcome change from the usual coloured portal, those tend to be rather dull."

It was Martha who had made that comment, and Titanella seemed to agree with Martha's judgement. Sen once again brought up the dungeon information.
