Inside the stone(rock) dungeon

destroying a stone golem, Maria breathed out, with her chest heaving up and down.

Due to the lack of blood in the monster, there was no stain around.

"Tired," asked Liam, picking up a small crystalline stone, and taking a good look at it before placing it in a pouch.

"They are really strong," said Maria, looking at the shining stones.

"This will help a little In our cultivation," she said, in a somewhat excited tone.

"Yes, though not much, we'll need to go deeper, to get more useful stuff" he continued.

"We've been here for two days now, I wonder how the outside will be," said Maria, rubbing her stomach.

"Two days is a short period" iterated William, not noticing her little gesture.

"I guess my tummy would have to be very big, for you to know how important, seconds are for us," Maria said mockingly.

Liam POV

she's really hyped up about her pregnancy, sometimes I wonder how I will feel when the child is finally born.

"So what do you say, we continue here or look for a new dungeon to run", I asked, looking at her.

"Let's stay here, at least, until we can't move forward here again" she replied, storing all the shining pebbles in her ring.

Space items are common commodities in our world, there are made in different forms, like watches, rings, bracelets, and other items as far as the creator can add space in them.

"Okay then, let's move on, and work fast, so we can get to our new home on time," I said trying to crack a joke.

"Really," she said, looking at me strangely, shaking her head while moving forward.

Lower levels of the stone dungeon.

"Haa, these monsters are really annoying, the worst part is that they come in groups," said azion, after finishing off the horde of golems.

"Where's that bastard, how can he move so fast," he said to himself, with clear anger written on his facial expression.

As an assassin, Azion's main abilities become almost useless when fighting multiple enemies.

His main style of fighting is through sneak attacks. so this kind of terrain is his nemesis.

He didn't know if he should be angry at himself for not thinking much before entering, or Liam for making him come here.

Looking around "I've come this far, can't back down now, I don't know when he will come down, or if he will even survive," he said, whispering to himself.

"I will have to follow him, so I can finish him up by myself, and also enjoy that bitch with him" grinning wildly, he rushed towards the path to the next level, imagining the big feast waiting for him.

Baron kingdom palace

The Baron kingdom palace or castle, like every big faction's main base, is very big and beautiful, depending on the onlooker's point of view.

Sitting on a throne inside the throne room, Edmund looked relaxed, with his head resting on his palms.

Edmund as a king enjoyed a very lavish life, with riches and as many women as he wants. He also had kids, who had their eyes on his throne.

Walking into the room, is a tall and handsome young man, with black hair, he's currently the first in line for the throne, and the first legitimate child of the king, his name is kassan. kassan Edmund.

"You called for me father," he said, in a respectful tone, bowing to Edmund.

"Yes, am sure you saw the revelation," said Edmund, still resting his head on his palm.

"yes father," said kassan "and what does that have to do with your summon?" kassan asked, unsure of his father's plans.

"You are really smart, ain't you," said Edmund, finally opening his eyes, to look at kassan briefly.

"It's simple, I want you to get me that abomination," said Edmund, like it was a normal and rightful thing to occur.

"What?" asked kassan, raising an eyebrow, he knows his father is a cunning man.

And also has a lot of dark secrets, but telling him to bring something that has the power to destroy their whole world, it's just too absurd.

"Can you explain your reasoning to me?" asked kassan, removing the honorifics, seeming to take everything to another level.

"You are finally in business," said Edmund, with a small smile on his face.

"Mmmm, it's simple, based on my findings, whatever that thing is, does not have the ability to defend itself now.

All you have to do is take your best men, reach there before it hatches or whatever, then get it for me," said Edmund, still looking calm.

'I don't know what his plan is, but if there's a chance that I can get control over that abomination, I am willing to take the risk' thought kassan.

"Why me," he said out loud trying to mask his intentions.

"very simple, because I think you are the most worthy," said Edmund, smiling broadly.

"And what do I gain from these" kassan asked, trying to sound unsure of his choice.

"You become the next king," said Edmund in a promising tone, looking at kassan with a little smile on his face.

"Okay I'm in, and are you involving any of my siblings" kassan inquired, to probe Edmund's network further.

"No, and I will like it if you can keep it under wraps, you know what happens if you don't right," asked Edmund, while smiling.

"Yes" answered kassan walking out of the throne room, and giving Edmund a little curtsy.

'You fools, I will use you, stupid descendants of mine as a stepping stone.

As sacrificial lambs, so I and I alone can rise to the top" thought Edmund, with a wide grin on his face.
