After Zane lay down to sleep, Maria and Joshua were arriving at Princess Sofia’s mansion.
"What! My brother fell deep inside the dungeon and you are here, not looking for him?" Sofia shouted, slamming the table.
Maria and Joshua were kneeling down sweating, looking, and were struggling to swallow their saliva because...
Sofia was well known in the Kingdom and other nations for being generous, and also ruthless and protective when it comes to her family.
"Where did it happen, and who created the dungeon?"
"It... it—it was the people who you sent me to investigate," Joshua said.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Sofia said while walking around the room back and forth.
"Having some troubles, little sister?" A voice came from the office door.
"Big sister Freya!" Sofia shouted while looking at Princess Freya, opening the two doors slowly.
A noble, well-mannered woman entered the room and sat on the chair.
"So what is going on that makes you shout like this?" she asked while pouring some tea.
"Mmm... Zane fell deep inside the dungeon," she said while tightening her fist.
"What...?" She put her cup down and asked, "So what are you going to do?" she says while making a serious face.
"I was sent to investigate the Demon monsters when I came back from seeing him, so I was thinking of looking for him while I am at it," she said while looking out the window.
"Well, do you need help? After all, he is also my brother," she says while picking the cup up from the table.
"Well, no, I have been aching for battle since I graduated," she said while laughing.
"Here you are again, sister. Your smile creeps me out, you know." Another person entered.
"Arthur, when did you arrive here?" Sofia asked.
"Well, I came with big sister Freya. Can you guys get out?" Arthur said while looking at Maria and Joshua.
Maria and Joshua just stood up, bowed, and got out of the room.
"So what you said was true that Zane is strong and can be a good ally for my campaign for the kingship, right? So I will help you find him. What do you say?" he says while sitting down.
"Well... I am not a hundred percent sure, because he said he doesn’t want to be a king," she said, sitting down and looking up at the ceiling.
"I was stupid to let him go to Demon Mountain," she said.
"Mmm... I don’t think so," Freya said.
"Because if I heard properly, Zane fell after defeating the Ice Demon, right?" Freya said.
"Your ears are sharp as ever, but that’s true. And what does that mean?"
"It means that he is strong and is alive, and we need to find him. He can help in the future to deal with that... that damn demon brother of ours."
"Yeah," Sofia and Arthur said at the same time, making serious faces.
"Well, I will be leaving tomorrow, so let’s talk about why you guys came here."
They continued their meeting, and later Arthur and Freya left, leaving Sofia preparing to go to the Demon Mountain.
After a week of walking, they arrived near the mountain on the north of it. There, they set up a camp because there was a report of the same scream that Zane and the others heard in the dungeon.
When they arrived, the mountain had changed. It was covered with heavy snow and a dark mist with a heavy aura that even normal soldiers were knocked down the moment they stepped into that mist, and monsters were increasing rapidly, such that they could hear their roars from down the mountains.
After one year deep in the dungeon, Zane had finished the forty-ninth floor and was about to enter the 50th floor.
His stats, skills, battle experience, and his fighting style had changed for the better.
Step-- STEP-STEP-STEP .
A young man started walking down the stairs AND....
FWOOOSH!
And all the monsters who were in the hallway were wiped out in seconds.
"Well, with the help of the System, I was able to create my Holy Vessel and magic cycle, but I need to perfectly establish it. Well, let’s sit down and cultivate it using the technique that I was given by the System," he said as he sat.
Zane said to himself:
"But this System has been giving me food and money when I defeat these monsters, and also boosts my stats. Well, I will check them before I enter the boss room."
Zane sat down in a cultivation pose, closed his eyes, and THEN....
DRAGON’S DIVINE SUTRA!
ACTIVATE.
FWOOOSH!
Zane started to create his HOLY VESSEL , and a few weeks passed.
Zane opened his eyes as his HOLY VESSEL was established, and then absorbed his HEAVENLY FRAGMENT.
FWOOOSH!
A huge amount of Heavenly Aura started entering his body. His clothes were torn apart, his body turned to gold, and he started absorbing it. This story is hosted at novelping.com.
Time flowed quickly and another week passed. He was able to absorb it all, increasing his strength and mana core, and also connecting his mana with his Aura and Holy Vessel.
"I did it! Wow, this is amazing, and my base stats have increased like crazy!" Zane said while looking at his hands, and shouted:
"Status window!"

"This is actually good." Zane smirked and took some clothes out of his inventory. After that..
"Well, let’s see what the 50th floor has got for us," he said while pushing the giant doors.
"Huuuuh.... what is this , what kind of boss room is this...." Zane shouted while looking around.
