According to the data Lena had obtained from the books in the Count’s library, there were four famous dungeons in this world. Although there were other, smaller dungeons in which monsters would also appear, these four were the most mysterious as adventurers would often go missing in their pursuit of the legendary treasures they supposedly held.


These dungeons were named, Jeduth, Kilion, Pali and Barr after the Fallen gods which had chosen to follow Metatron. The legend goes that these gods had been sealed in the deepest region of each dungeon, but to date none have been able to confirm these stories as no one has ever made it so deep.

We decided to head to Jeduth first, as it was the closest of the four, being only four days walking distance from Gartmar. After stocking up with more than a month’s worth of supplies for by visiting Gartmar’s stores, we set out for the Jeduth dungeon.

‘I have about two months until my agreed meeting with Daryl, I just need to be back by then.’

Right now I should focus on leveling up and increasing Viezda’s power. I should also secure some more magic stones….’

In the previously timeline, when I had become the owner of the Wetheros Mountain range, their hadn’t been any mention of this Jeduth dungeon. Obviously someone had already conquered it by then.

‘Since it wasn’t part of the future timeline, there shouldn’t be too much of an impact if I were to choose to complete it myself first.’

By completing this dungeon I could gain some experience from the monsters, as well as gain enough treasure to solve all my money issues. Perhaps even my recent chess venture wouldn’t be as profitable as taking down one of the four legendary dungeons.

“Johra, do you want me to carry you over there?”

“No. This is human world. If we do that it might create quite the commotion.”

The Jeduth dungeon was quite renowned, so it was sure to be crawling with adventurers, so if Lilinor were to arrive in her dragon form it was sure to lead to complications.

“By the way Lilinor, do you have a way to hide your status? It might cause a bit of a problem if others can view it.”

“Sure, no problem.”

“Huh? How did you do that so easily?”

“My  little secret”

Her status went to being that of an ordinary nine year-old girl.

‘Hmm… I can’t detect the difference. Was her previous status her true one, or had it already been modified?’

I gave her a suspicious look, but had no choice but to give up as she let out a small innocent laugh.

‘She shouldn’t have been hiding her status from the very start right? Maybe I’m overthinking things, but I’m still a bit curious and should get to the bottom of this later.’

Travelling along with Viezda and Lilinor, we kept a good pace and were able to arrive after only one and a half days of travel. However, despite the dungeons supposed renown, there weren’t any adventurers in sight.

“Is that the Jeduth dungeon? It looks more like a….”

“It looks like a flower garden instead.”

“Nice! If I ever get bored I can simply come here and play! There are so many beautiful flowers.”

Lilinor ran around playfully and then laid down in the field of flowers. For a second I was worried that she might get stung by a few bees, before I burst out laughing. I had completely forgotten what she really was for a second there.
