The situation inside the dimensional realm was chaotic, with mages running around the plains and forest, trying to survive the attack of those beasts.

Arthur was also in the same situation before, but now he had a place to stay, one where no beasts would find him.

He did not have any tools to use, as his magical pouch was blocked by a strange force. So, he broke a few trees with his claws, and used his wood magic to manipulate the material, turning the logs into barrels.

A barrel was the best thing he thought of to carry water back to the cave, as Arthur and Samantha needed it to drink and shower.

The logs slowly took the form of a barrel, and Arthur was proud of it.

“Maybe I should open a carpentry shop?”

With a barrel in hands, Arthur went to a nearby river, collecting the water with little trouble. All his moves were fast, and the few beasts that were around the area died horribly before having the chance to do anything.

Arthur filled not only one barrel, but 4! The more barrels of water he had, the fewer times he would have to leave his cave.

He was confident that four barrels were enough to last them through the entire week.

“I am back!” Arthur said.

Samantha was in the cave’s corner using earth type magic to change the rocks and build improvised bath tubs. She built one for her, and one for Arthur, separated by thick walls.

It was not the most private place, but it was the best she could do in the current situation.

Arthur went toward Samantha, and praised her work, “good job. Here, four barrels of water! You can take a shower while I go back to get us some food.”

She turned around to look at his face and say thanks for all the work he was doing for her, yet the moment she turned around, Arthur was no longer there.

In a forest not that far from the cave, Arthur used all the knowledge he had about tracking and hunting, killing a few beasts for them to eat.

The beasts were not common to him. At least he had not seen them outside of the dimensional realm, so Arthur was not sure what beasts were edible, or those who taste good.

He knew he should not be choosing food in the situation he was currently in, but food was something important, so Arthur tried his best to catch the most delicious food!

Arthur hunt something that looked like a deer with strange symbols on its fur, and the fur also had a greenish color. Not only that, but he took a quick detour to grab some fishes in the nearby river, increasing the variety of their dinner.

“Maybe I should get some vegetables?”

There were lots of strange fruits and vegetables inside the forest, but he was not sure if they were poisonous or not. Still, Arthur grabbed all of them!

With his incredible body changed by two bloodlines, poisons would not affect him, especially the weak ones.

When Arthur returned to the cave, Samantha was inside the bathtub she had built. She even heated the water to make it more pleasant and was so focused on it that did not notice Arthur.

Of course, he wouldn’t just go peek through the edges of the wall, but he did not need to anyway, as Samantha got out from the hot tub naked, thinking no one was there.

Not in her wildest dreams Arthur would return so quickly of a hunting trip, especially with the amount of danger outside, yet he did, glancing at her beautiful body.

Samantha, who had her thoughts on something else, said, “Arthur, what did you bring us for dinner?”

She smiled and got closer to him, and then she noticed her shoe-fewer feet, making her face turn red, realizing the situation she was in.

With quickened steps, Samantha returned to the stone bath tub, the place where her clothes were, wearing them, and returning to where Arthur was.

The awkwardness was too much, and it took Samantha one hour to say another word.

“You’ll forget everything you saw, okay?” She said, grasping her clothes and trying to hide her face.

“I saw nothing. Here, take it.”

Arthur handed her a piece of meat he had prepared for the two. The meat from the deer and the fishes were delicious.

“What are those plants? Are they good?” Samantha said.

She saw Arthur tossing some strange herbs into his mouth, making her curious to know more about it.

“I figure that out now. Some are poisonous as well, so be careful. Here, eat this one.”

A small red fruit. Arthur ate some of those along the way, so he was certain they weren’t poisonous. Samantha did not have the chance to deny, as he basically forced her to eat it.

“It’s… this is delicious!”

Samantha loved it, and ate the rest of the red fruits, barely letting some for Arthur. He did not complain, engulfing enormous pieces of meat, enjoying his peaceful time.

One week passed quickly. The two of them kept doing the same routine, leaving the cave only a few times to gather food.

Those four barrels of water Arthur brought were enough to last them for the entire week, proving fresh water to drink and to bathe.

Arthur, who entered the sixth floor twenty-four hours earlier than everyone else, was the first one to leave. Early in the morning, a strange suction force was making Arthur go toward a specific area, not giving him the choice to stay.

“Samantha, I came earlier, so I am leaving first. Stay here, and perhaps we can meet up on the next floor.”

These were the last words Arthur said before vanishing from the cave, flying throughout the floor at top-speed.

Some mages who were still alive saw him, including the three who were in the tenth circle. They did not understand what was happening, but it was clear something was pulling Arthur in a specific direction, so they followed him using all the means possible.

Arthur traveled throughout the entire area, reaching a place where there were no mages nearby.

One of the tenth circle mages said, “wasn’t this area filled with beasts? I remember coming here before. Why is it empty now?”

Then they saw it. A huge staircase that led to the sky, to the clouds. Arthur, who was getting pulled by some strange force, stood in front of the staircase, gazing at the top of it.

The strange force stopped, and he knew what he had to do; climb the staircase to reach the next floor.

He made the first step, but then someone yelled from behind.

“Aren’t you sharing this discovery with the rest of us? Did you plan on leaving everyone behind?”
