Weeks passed after the commotion at the red light district where Ishtar reside and inside his mansion where the dinner takes place, the dinner being attend by Freya and Hestia which cause spark from Hestia. Aphrodite talk casually with Freya since Aphrodite doesn't know the rumor around about Freya. Estas also on guard by her but not showing it on her face.

Most of the members also on guard except for a few that don't bother with it, including Syr that smile nonchalantly even though meeting Freya again.

In the last week, Alan bring the member to get some money again in the dungeon but this time with Tiona. Tione seems to think hard about what Alan said but still holding a grudge against Argana which makes her in a complicated situation if she comes with them, so she decides to stay.

The first few days, Alan and the others help Tiona fight and rest like their expedition schedule which tire Tiona, but soon she get the hang of it. The trip to the dungeon is not that long since the goal is only to get money and raise their Familia rank which always kept hidden by Alan for not selling the monster rex's core. They dive to fight Basilisk since all of them is level 6 except Lena and Haruhime which only level 5, with the help from Asfi to make glasses to resist the petrify.

Soon enough all of them reach the desert biome dungeon, the fight inside continues for more days until finally all of them reach level 7 and Alan dive down alone while the others took a rest. The biome after the desert is a glacier biome, it's cold and fortunately, Alan has dragon blood to keep him warm.

There are many creatures around like ice golem, Armored polar bear, ice sprite. With the help from his weapon, Alan dives until he reaches the 89th floor and enters a big space dungeon on the 90th floor. The monster rex is humanoid sitting at her throne with a blue dress, an ice lady with her blue hair and clear blue sky eyes.

She opens her eyes and looks at the door of her palace that being opened, she stands from her throne and bows toward Alan which enters the palace "Welcome to my palace, O'being that been blessed by the Gods. To pass through here, you need to kill me, part of my original that been sealed here to guard the area. I hope for a good fight in a long time. I'm Icen, the name that been given when I'm sealed here."

She lifts her head and big crystals of ice float around her. "Let's have a good fight then." Alan said stabbing Vasavi Shakti on the ground and pull out Balmungs, 2 space cut appear and Alan let Erde and Livy join the fight also make some space so the other can see the fight from inside his dimension world.

Alan won the fight after his armor break and repaired multiple times by getting shot countless times by the ice beam from the crystal. Keep dodging and parrying the attack until his clothing is wet from his blood but the excitement from fighting that he never obtain from his previous world give him a new thing to enjoy. Adrenaline rush running through his body like never before, a new feeling to make him forget about anything else which he never experience on Earth. The feeling that turn a normal human into a fighter.

Fighting is surprisingly addicting to some people, the feeling of you getting stronger and stronger from each fight makes you happy for some reason. The girls that watching Alan fight, some are worried about seeing him full of blood while some just take it as a usual thing now, and for some are aroused by it.

Eventually, Alan won the fight and reach inside his world to rest. Asfi ask him why he's not using his bow but only being answered that 'It's not fun to use it.' only to get slapped multiple time by her. "Say that again!!" said Asfi which makes him half-conscious after getting slap after the fight and murmur his words "I'm sorry, ma'am." then get thrown to the ground, and Asfi walk bringing the other inside.

Argana staying behind and get close to Alan that lay down in the ground and can't muster his strength. 'Someone help... You can't leave me here with her!!' Alan's thought when seeing Argana walking toward him.

Argana's breathing became heavier and heavier, her face tinted red. She get on her two knees and start touching Alan's body. Alan can't move his muscle since every energy on his body already used after being beaten by Asfi.

"Haaaah... haaahh... Alan-sama, please forgive me. haaaahh....." Argana said and start tracing her finger with her ragged breath on Alan's abs under his shirt. 'Noooo...' Alan thought while his body tense while Argana starts opening his shirt "Ar... gana... stop...." then he realizes another person also staying behind.

Bache is standing there close to them while joining both her leg and covering it with her hand to prevent something from leaking. "Bache!!.. Help..." Alan shouts using his last strength but Bache only froze there watching Argana that start to lick the blood on Alan's body.

Then Alan's dragon began to wake up from his crotch before someone else come. Haruhime comes out from the mansion and starts running, close to the three of them, she stops and catches up her breath. "Argana-san, Hah~ Asfi-san said that don't try to steal in the line."

Argana eyes jolt open after her mind immerses by the feeling, then she quickly stands up from the ground "Tch... Fine, I'm just making sure, Alan-sama is fine and healthy. It looks like that he's very healthy." She said and once again stole a glance at Alan's dragon that's poking out.

Bache that standing there watching, drop-down losing the strength on her legs, while releasing a hot breath and a drizzle of water flowing between her leg. The atmosphere turned awkward but Haruhime help Bache after saw her drop to the ground. Feeling relieve and tired Alan slept there.

The rest of the day happens as usual without nothing happen then Alan comes out from the inner world to go back to the dungeon. Nothing drops instead of a big chunk of the monster core, Alan start running up out of the dungeon. He's taking it too long so Loki might be worried about Tiona, even though Tiona is fitting right inside the circle.

Alan then brought Tiona back to Twilight Manor where Loki Familia live. There Alan being welcomed by the guard and being told that Loki is expecting his arrival. So, going along the flow, Alan also brought Tiona toward Loki's office room.

"You can take a rest Tiona, but I need to talk with Alan. Is it fine with you?" Loki said smiling while keeping her eyes shut as usual and sitting at her desk. "Sure. I don't mind at all." Alan said, taking a sit at the sofa while Tiona back to her quarter. "Mind telling me why you actually tell me information back at Melen? Also, how do you know?". "Hmm... Actually, I just want to help." Alan said after thinking a while.

"Then what about you being mysterious and all, If you really want to help. Shouldn't you just tell me all of the stories?" Loki said seriously without her usual smile and start walking toward the sofa opposite of Alan to take her seat. "I could, but let's just say that I don't want to break the story even further." Alan tapping his chin.

"There!! You being mysterious again, can you stop doing that?" Loki pointing at Alan with her right index finger. "Hah~ Fine, listen carefully. You will be fighting Enyo which is Dionysus." Alan said dropping the bomb at the conversation. Loki's lips part away leaving a gap hearing Alan just said someone that suspicious for her. Soon she's back to her thinking "Then why you just told me now?" She stole a glance at Alan while tapping her chin thinking.

"Because I'm thinking about traveling outside Orario. Now that I'm level 8, at least I don't need to keep up with what will happen in Orario that may danger my Family." Alan said after thinking about going outside Orario for a while.

"Then what about Tiona, Tione, and Ais." Loki said since she knows that he's their love interest too even though they don't realize that yet. "They can choose for themselves. It's not like I will go tomorrow." Alan chuckle hearing Loki's question.

"What about the story you keep mentioning?" Loki said intrigued by how Alan said stuff. "It's a prophecy. I'm given this prophecy which at first I don't believe it but keep happening from time to time. So I try to meddle with it but I won't risk changing it if that can threaten my family. So, I keep stick with it." Alan said bullshiting his way out but since Loki has no proof and what Alan said about Melen is true, so she let him go with it.

"Then you know about the big war coming?" Loki said testing the water. "War? Let's see... Rakia Kingdom?" Alan said after thinking for a while. "Yes, so you did know. Rakia Kingdom and Atlantis Kingdom are coming toward Orario in big number." Loki nods after confirm Alan's statement.

"Ppfffttt... Rakia and Atlantis??" Alan spat out his tea to the side. "So there's still some that you don't know or you already change some of your 'story'." Loki said guessing by his reaction. "Freya Familia after being punished for the destruction of the red light district now being stationed at the outskirt of Orario. They spot two army marching here. If looking at the destruction. It should be your doing. She won't go that easy for her enemy." Loki said to continue after her statement since she got her answer from his reaction.

"Did Poseidon coming?" Alan said sipping his cup again. Loki then crosses her arm and shake her head "No, My informant told me that Poseidon let them do what they want but not harm his niece but your Familia member's fiance comes."

Yet another bomb being dropped and Alan spit his drink again "*cough* *cough* Can you repeat it one more time? Who's fiance?" Alan ask. "So, you don't know. Your member 'Perseus' has a fiance that being kept secret at first but then later announces a few weeks? or months ago? I don't remember the specifics. The formal reason is they want to announce it when they come on age but postponing for a lot of reasons. Then her disappearance cause chaos on their upper-class people" Loki said explaining the situation.

"Well, that's something." Alan said while thinking about something odd. "How do you get this information again?" Alan ask Loki. "I have my informant, I can't tell you but I confuse how can I never get information about you.".

"You don't need information about me. I have nothing to hide, at least here." Alan said and mutter the last part in a low voice. Loki can't hear the last part but respect him by not asking much further "You should go back, the messager from the guild might send you a letter for help since you're the second level 7 adventu.. Ehmm.. The first level 8." Loki said after noticing the sky turn red and getting darker.

"Nice having chat with you, the tea is great by the way and you can come to the mansion if you want to have some chat again." Alan said putting down his cup. "Ah! One more thing, after I report Tiona to the guild I will start to spread a rumor that Tiona has fulfilled her contract with me and can change her familia. So you can rest ease, as for Tione and Ais.. I'm not sure about both of them." Loki said making Alan stop his step toward the door.

"I don't mind, they can find their own path. Ais has been here since her childhood, your familia is her family. About Tione, I can't accept her either if she can't even straighten her heart. Ask her to follow Finn toward Pallum Bar Tavern, named Hidden Pallum when he asks for a day off and vanish without his subordinate. If that didn't convince her then forget it." Alan said while making Loki confuse at first but just accept it after a second.

Alan left leaving the Twilight Manor while he felt magic in the room but didn't bother to ask Loki. Whether it's Riveria checking if he's telling the truth or not but It's Tione that hid inside the cupboard. She walked out of the cupboard to the smiling face of Loki.
