Akiko and Liu Feng boosted Party Freedom’s active members until last night’s twenty-first floor. It was close to midnight when they finally got past the demon lord, so Party Freedom didn’t join them in scouting the twenty-first floor. Sasha and Oritha still hadn’t found the dungeon border when Liu Feng and Akiko joined them in Damian’s call. It didn’t matter if they joined later, as they soon bridged the progress gap with their speed. Even so, they couldn’t find the border.“This is odd,” Damian frowned after analysing the data. “I think we should wait for Zen to do anything else.”Exhausted, the assassins agreed and retired to bed while the cyborg worked on putting the strange pieces together. From previous data, dungeon floors were usually confined to a limited stage with monster hunting areas. The cap was three different kinds of monsters per floor, excluding area bosses and secret dungeons. There was nev

Assembling all the birds of prey in the guild meeting room took more effort than Oritha expected. Apart from Oriole, who had to obey summons unconditionally, the other ladies took a while to convince. Damian sent his feeler robots out. Only three of twenty nano-roaches returned. The cyborg was depressed but couldn’t do anything to retrieve his nano-roaches as he was in the middle of a dungeon session with Zen.“It’s a pleasure to meet everyone! I hope we’ll get along,” smiled a voluptuous gothic beauty with black wavy hair and grey eyes. The only thing on her with colour out of a monochrome scale was her bright red lipstick. At one glance, Oriole hated her already.Rachel “Silver Tongue” Morose was well known in their industry for being a great translator. She was a polyglot who spoke over thirty languages and had many admirers. Her sensual nature and maturity made her appear older than she truly was. Even so, nobody dared to under

Killian “Match” Von Brandt had a sour look as he arrived at the guild meeting room. The new candidates for his party hadn’t shown up yet, giving him an opportunity to confront the Death Princess.“Why did you choose to disband my party?” he tried to keep his tone in check, but the balling of his fists gave him away.Akiko wasn’t dumb. She noticed it. Oriole must have cried to him when her meeting was finished. It was why she arranged for Birds of Prey to be the first party that morning. Too bad she wasn’t able to get rid of that troublemaker. However, the other ladies in Birds of Prey would keep her in check now that she has renewed her contract. If Oriole renewed her contract, Killian would begrudgingly do the same.“For the greater benefit of the guild,” Akiko levelled him with an empty stare. “Did you think our strategies would always remain the same? You’ll be given two options during the meeting. Y

After a chaotic breakfast and preparing lunch in advance, Zen met Damian at the entrance of the fifth floor. The cyborg completed all the important side quests and even discovered a few of his own, much to Zen’s amazement.“There’s a sub-class for inventors with Gilda,” he shared his new knowledge with the giddy gamer. “I don’t think there are chefs but the closest is an apothecarist. Nobody else has a secondary job but we can look into it together after the main quest-line.”Agreeing eagerly, Zen compared their notes and wondered how he should assign the new party-filling candidates roles using secondary job options. Before the boys could launch into a technical debate on which secondary class was more important for farming materials, he received a text from Liu Feng claiming he would be late. Oritha was catching up with Coral in the gym and wouldn’t join them. Sasha was the only one in their party available to boost them co

The surroundings darkened as the game adjusted the dungeon’s special conditions for Zen’s training. Within seconds, he skipped through the night and met Lorren again at the chapel, which was brighter, indicating it was late morning.“Healing arts of the church is similar to magic. However, unlike magic, which uses mana from within a mage that is replenished from mana in the atmosphere, healing arts require faith. The stronger your faith, the more powerful your healing arts. Of course, there are physical limitations to using it. You could easily exhaust yourself mentally as it requires intense focus.”According to the lengthy explanation monologue, Zen learned that healing arts could do almost anything. Of course, within the limitation of logic. Apart from healing illnesses and injuries, more advanced healing arts could reattach limbs that have not rotted and bring the dead back to life within five minutes of their death, provided the brain wasn&rsqu
