Alright from the votes most of you wanted him to become Elden Lord, and have either Melina or Ranni. Since all of you were not saying which one you wanted I'll put it here.

Ranni

Melina.

Brown water rippled as I moved through the dimly lit rooms of Dross, I wandered into one of the rooms I've cleared and sat down on a rock.

'I don't know why, but lately, I've been feeling less fearful or remorseful for my enemies they've just become another obstacle for me to overcome.' I stood up and looked at the item room, I entered the item room and saw a red mushroom with white spots on it.

[Magic Mushroom(Binding Of Isaac): All Stats Up! Increases all stats.]

I walked up to the item on the pedestal and grabbed it, I immediately felt like I got a little bit larger and stronger.

'I'm going to use the carry-over card on this item, it's too useful not to take with me. Though, I wonder how Sly would feel when he sees a gigantic version of me.' I chuckled thinking of Sly's reaction.

I walked out of the room with my blade on my shoulder, I walked into the last uncleared room. Inside there were only a few creepers, I walked near them and they shone and started to pulsate.

At the last second, I dashed backward and dodged the explosion. The doors unlocked because there were no more enemies in the room, I looked at the boss room. I took a step forward and entered the boss's room.

| Excursion Vs Wormwood /3rd Pov/ |

Excursion looked around the area, a few minutes passed by with nothing happening. Then suddenly, a sharp tail strikes from underneath the watery floor and almost hit Excursion.

Excursion in a display of strength grabbed Wormwood's tail and started to pull Wormwood back onto land, he lifted his foot up and slammed it onto the floor, and started to pull harder.

Suddenly the ground cracked and broke apart as a giant worm-like creature flopped onto the land, it slithered around in an attempt to get back to the water.

Excursion jumped on Wormwood's back causing the beast to flail around in an effort to get him off, but Excursion dug his hands into Wormwood's back.

Wormwood got tired of flailing around and instead focused on getting back to the water, what he didn't expect was a hand to grip his mandibles.

Excursion grabbed two of Wormwood's mandibles and ripped them out, blood spewed out in a beautiful burst Excursion then shoved the mandibles into Wormwood's head.

Wormwood started to bleed out as Excursion got off of Wormwood and watched as he died. A pedestal and an angel room appeared. Along with that Excursion got a few level-ups.

[Level Up 4x!]

[Quest Complete: Rewards Given...The gods are impressed by your violence, an extra reward has been given.]

/Excursion Pov./

I looked at the notification and then all of my rewards poured in, and a giant black nail came from a portal near me. I grabbed the blade and inspected it, 'It's much better than my last nail, I'll give it that.'

I went to the gacha menu and then rolled it using my gacha tickets, I rolled the wheel three times and anticipated some overpowered ability that would make me decimate my enemies.

Excursion: "Please be good..."

[Broken Lance]

[Metal Scraps]

[Skill: Disassemble.]

I sighed due to half of my gacha rolls being shit, I checked [Disassemble] and found out it just allows me to be better at taking things apart. I closed the Gacha tab, I then looked at my [Swordsmanship] skill and saw it leveled up as promised.

[Swordsmanship (Lv.3)]

I closed that window and then walked up to the angel room, on the pedestal there was... Purgatory, I took out my carry-over card and used it on Magic Mush and then clicked leave dungeon. I decided I didn't want to fight one of the final bosses, why? I needed to finish my training in real life.

I appeared inside the old shelter that Sly made us stay in, I was still sitting on the bed. The bed suddenly registered my new size and broke down the middle, my legs were up in the air.

Sly: "Eh?"

Sly woke up and looked at me, he then started to laugh. I was embarrassed and said.

Excursion: "Hey, help me up! Stop laughing!!"

Sly: "HAHAHA! I-I can't! Oh~ That was the funniest thing I've seen in ages."

Sly said as he stood up from the bed and started to help me out, I then was able to stand at my full size which was... Well much taller than the Pure Vessel, I'll give you that.

Sly: "How did you get this large?"

Excursion: "Guess I just went through a growth spurt."

I shrugged, Sly looked at me for a little bit. I walked out of the shelter the snow crunched underneath my feet, I looked at the outside and saw only white and a few structures.

Sly: "This will be the place where your training truly begins, also..."

Sly dropped a belt that was full of rocks, the weight of the rocks caused some snow on the ground to crush. He then dropped four more of those belts, he also had a few bracelets as well.

Sly: "Put these on your arms and legs while we are training, once they get light then I'll make them heavier. Ok?"

I nodded my head, even though I didn't want to do it. I picked up one of the bracelets and found they were surprisingly light.

Excursion: "These are too light for me Sly, you'll need to make them heavier."

I said as I picked them all up and handed them back to Sly who had a look of astonishment on his face, he then walked out of the house leaving me alone for a while... An hour later he had returned but was visibly stressed out.

Sly: "*Sigh* I guess that idea is out of the window."

I put my hand on his shoulder and started to massage him making him start to relax.

Excursion: "No need to be stressed Sly."

Sly smiled at me, and then he looked at his nail and walked over to it.

Sly: "Ready to start training?"
