Nearly two years had passed since Marcus and his group had completed the eleventh through twentieth floors of the special dungeon, Realization of Self Perfection.
Immediately after they had braved the next set of ten floors with all of them getting through and coming out stronger than before.
Yet the second they were done they all needed to rush back to the real world to attend to the duties that they had.
For Lilia and Alaric this meant going back to school. They had already taken time off and missed plenty of classes and had a lot to catch up on if they did not wish to be expelled.
Marcus for his part needed to check in to do his work for the kingdom during winter. Which turned out to be the very 'thrilling' experience of being treated as cargo plane once again. And when that came to an end the spring was filled with politics as he continued his job as representative to Glena Reota, the ice elf city.
