What are you doing this early?

Logan took Pan to the inn used by the Elves to spend the night. He didn't delay what he had to do in the slightest, including complying with another request from the elf girl. Logan had to prepare everything he needed for the dungeon expedition the next day.

"Hi Logan..."

Elincia waited in front of the gate, an inn made of wood and piles of stones with dark brown paint, standing at 5 stories high.

This inn was the most luxurious place in Deadbay City. The Elves used to rent the place entirely when they were in town. Thanks to their position, they get a privilege, which also helps a small town like Deadbay by getting its dungeons cleared.

Pan walked over to Elincia, putting her arm around hers, then waved at Logan.

"Meet me at the gate tomorrow at 6 AM, OK?"

Elincia looked at Pan for a moment, questioning what she was talking about. Then turned back to Logan, who was bowing his head and walking away from the two of them.

"You look like you're having fun, princess."

"Yeah I did, I really loved it."

Vanya walked down the path to the magnificent inn, gazing in awe at the orderly arrangement of trees and plants in the inn's courtyard.

"Oh? How was he?"

Vanya stopped her steps, turned around, and returned to Elincia.

"What? I meant the food, the people, and the view."

"That's what I actually mean, princess."

"You tease me too much, El…."

Vanya pinched Elincia's waist, then turned around and ran on tiptoe, occasionally making small jumps to enter the inn.

Logan didn't waste the rest of the day. When it was still late afternoon, he went to the plaza and bought some clothes.

Logan also bought meat and some food, at least enough for him to survive in the wild for 1 month.

The dungeon that Logan and the Elves will enter tomorrow was a tier 3 dungeon. At this tier, the monsters that will appear are mainly at that same tier. And there will also be 2 to 3 bosses that are 1 tier higher.

In a worst-case scenario, one takes 1 to 2 weeks for a dungeon of this tier, depending on how experienced the team was. The difficulty tier also varies even at the same tier. Logan was sure that he could easily pass the dungeon with his current abilities.

There was one thing he was also thinking about. One of the skills of Soul Emperor, Soul Collect, will collect pieces of a monster's soul into him. The side effect of this skill is that the monster core of the monster will also be destroyed. One of the elves' goals in entering the Dungeon was to collect these items, but what would happen if the elves failed to collect as many monster cores as they used to?

Logan smiled at this, then decided to only participate in 50% of the raid, to lessen their suspicions. Soul Emperor was designed for those who preferred to work alone and only accompanied by their followers. Which exactly matched with the name of the Class.

After completing all the preparations that needed to be done, Logan immediately went home.

Sara awaited Logan's presence at the door, immediately relieved when for whom she had been waiting for a long time now reappeared in front of her. She walked over and hugged her son.

Alice, who noticed Logan's arrival, ran out of the house, jumping up and laughing happily.

"Brother, you look like you're having fun, yeah…."

"Yeah, I did."

Logan winked and walked in, approaching the dining table where Sara had prepared it for Logan.

"So, how is the elf lady? She is so beautiful…."

"Oh yeah? Of course she is. And I liked her…."

'Because she is one of my art.'

Logan gave Alice a big smile. He grabbed the food before him, devouring it voraciously.

"Brother… Yeah... You should thank me for that chance…."

"Of course… Thank you, my sweet little sister… Next time, give me more chances like that, to many beautiful women out there

, okay ...."

Sara sat across from Logan, laughing at the antics of her two children.

"Mom. Tomorrow I'll leave early in the morning."

"Where are you going, Son?"

"Doing some errands. It might take several days."

"It's ok, as long as you take care of yourself, OK?"

Logan drank a glass of water in front of him and finished his meal. Nodding his head at his mother's request.

"You don't need to worry…."

Logan stood up and walked into his bedroom. After a night of toying with plant monsters, bugs, and a dog, he missed his sleep very dearly.

***

Logan spent quite a long time sleeping. The next morning he woke up, showered, prepared himself, and didn't delay in the slightest to leave. It didn't matter if he had to arrive first. Logan felt very enthusiastic, considering that this was also his first dungeon journey apart from wanting to become stronger quickly.

Logan wanted to experience everything in this world, something he had previously only been able to imagine and write about. Logan will do his first dungeon expedition with a perfect score, gain the maximum power possible, and then go back to planning his next dungeon.

As he got close enough to the city gates, a person as tall as Logan's shoulders walked over.

"Hey kid..."

Someone Logan knew as a helper in his life in this world, someone who had paved the way for him to become stronger shortly. Fokil, the dwarf blacksmith who has lent forever Dagger containing a poisonous snake soul, which this time he had raised 1 tier higher.

"Hi, Fokil. What are you doing this early?"

Fokil threw a bundle of cloth. Logan swiftly caught it, and immediately he heard a scream of some voices coming from it.

"What? What is this?"

"I hear you are going to do your first dungeon expedition? Take good care of my masterpiece."
