Chris woke up the next day, he did his early morning stretches. He set the mud stove he had made ablaze, and put fire to his mud oven, he warmed the milk and grilled the meat, then he went on to heat the bread in the oven since neither him nor sim liked a cold meal, except meals that were meant to be taken cold, but considering that Chris was a freak who ate fruit salads piping hot, what more could be expected.
Well, Chris found it delicious, 'to each his own way.' Sim woke up not long after to the smell of freshly heated bread. To be accurate she had been awake the whole time, she just loved the sound of Chris waking up in the morning, and moving around, something about it was so magical.
She got out of her bed, and stretched as well, thereafter, she went and sat by the table.
"Hey." Chris said
"Woof," sim barked.
"We had a deal, you set up the table, and clean up after yourself, while I make the meals.
"Grrr…"
"Really, then no meal for you."
"Argh wuff,"
"Sorry, I don't speak dog."
"Woof, Woof."
"Did you her something?"
"Rghh." Sim grumbled while doing her chores, 'sometimes he could be such a pain in the ass.'
Of course, she forgot about this the moment she had her breakfast, the heavenly feast brought tears to her eyes, she would happily clean up a thousand times to be able to eat this everyday.
After they were done with breakfast, Chris and Sim cleaned up and put on their armour.
Chris didn't forget to upgrade his Neat Slacks to Sliver slacks.
{100 gold has been spent}
{Armour successfully Upgrade to Sliver slacks}
{Would you like to add a camouflage function?}
Chris thought about it, since this was his 1st mission, he would like to be discreet.
"Yes."
{500 gold required}
Gulp,
Chris swallowed hard.
"These bastards ..."
"Isn't this basically daylight robbery." In the end, he ended up purchasing normal clothes that would cover up their armour.
Chris had made a mental list of the things that he needed to purchase last night.
So this morning he and Sim picked out a lot, since he didn't know what might happen, he bought as much as they could carry; they in the sense that he also bought a back for Sim.

{2 packs of White tip powder have been purchased from the store}
{1 Copes has been purchased from the store}
{1 pack of Urea has been purchased from the store}
"I've always wondered what it would look like, it seems pretty normal to me,"
It was a powdery substance tightly wrapped in a triangular leafy pack. "I'll find out more about this later," Chris said, he dropped it to the side and continued with his purchase.

"Tsk. You are just obsessed with zeros."
{…}
Chris tore up the scroll for the shrinking spell.
{You have used low-grade shrinking spell}
{Low-grade shrinking spell has been applied, your items have shrunken}
{Your items will remain this way until reversed}
{If not reversed for a month, Shrunken items will remain that way permanently}
"Damn it. I forgot to get a tent, what if we end up in the desert?"
"Agh, I already shrunk the items."
"Fuck. I hope nothing bad happens."
Chris put most of the things in his bag, but Sim put a lot of her toys in there, she had insisted on coming with most of her toys
"Haa. I've spoilt you too much, and now your acting like a brat. We're going on a mission that might be the end for us, and here you are worrying about your toys."
So, Chris put his foot down.
"You are only allowed to bring one, else forget it, I don't need a spoilt pet like you," after much back and forth, she decided to bring the treat dispenser. After all, it was the most beneficial thing to do.
Chris sighed, he was hoping she would choose a puzzle, now he had to cart around dog treats for the rest of the journey, "what a blessing."
He quickly open the doggy store, and bought 5 packs of treats for the dispenser. She usually went through the treats rather quickly. All the while sim was wagging her tail with her tongue hanging out of her mouth.
It irked Chris that she was so free, he shoved the treats in her side bag, and gave her a warning, "If you eat them all now, I really don't give a fuck, it's on you."
"Ruff." Sim hissed.
"Hmp." Chris got up, even if she did eat them all, he couldn't be bothered, the kiosk wouldn't be available to restock the treats, at least he was sure she understood that much.
He looked at his self one more time, and made one final purchase.
{500 gold has been spent}
{You have 1,430 gold left}
{You have upgrade silver slacks, to silver camouflage, camouflage functions have been added}
{500 coins have been spent}
{You have upgraded silver doggy slacks, to silver doggy camouflage, camouflage functions have been added}
{500 doggy coins have been spent}
{You have 16,000 doggy coins left}
"Kgh … The unfairness," Chris held his chest. Sim had a lot of coins. These days, he had been buying his meat from the doggy store, even then, it didn't make a dent in her account.
"This is for the best, now I don't have to worry about our defence."
Chris brought out one white tip powder, and sprinkled it all around the room to prevent pests from coming in. He did this every once a week as the room always suddenly became messy with weeds, and pests, if it wasn't applied regularly. Even though he swept, and scrubbed like the system instructions for mud floor maintenance instructed. He suspected that it was the darn manager, "all because I didn't buy the caretaker, like it had asked me to in order to save cost," that and a lot of avoided expenses.
"Ahem," well, what did he expect from this place anyway.
After they were done Chris and sim descended the stair to the challenge floor.
Chris pushed it opened easily, unlike the last time he had tried. When Chris entered, there were passage ways with numbers above them from 1 to 10, the room with the 1st passage way was sealed off.
"I guess this means I only have to face 10 challenges." Going by the doors he counted, that seemed to be the case, unless it wasn't. Then he might be troubled. "There might be another floor, so I'll just have to wait and see."
They walked towards the 2nd door in the dungeon,
It slowly began to creak open.
A Theme music began to play.
Pam, pa, pa, Pam
Pam Pam, Pam Pam, Pam Pam,
"The fuck," Chris was stunned.
{Challenger has been detected}
De, run, rum,
{Commencing Second challenge}
"You've got to be kidding me," 'they even have sound effects and a theme song?'
Ta, ra, ra, ra.
{You are being transferred to the world outside the dungeon}
"What the hell is this?"
Ta, ra, ta, ra, ta, ra.
{You are being transferred to Prytis}
Bam, Bam, trum. Bam, Bam, trum, turu rurum, Bam, Bam.
{You are required to save the inhabitants of that world from the demon}
"This is too much."
{You have been chosen to avert the calamity}
Tan, ta, dam, ta, ra, ra, ram, ta, ta, dam, ta, ra, ra, ram. Tan, ta, dam, Ta, ra, ra, ra, ra, raaaaam.
{Fulfil your challenge and remain told}
Pur, cham, Pru, cham, pam, pam, drrr cham, drr, cham, ra, ram, Pa, Pam.
{Time limit: unknown}
Thunderclap.
Bam.
Tur, cham, tur, cham, tur, cham.
As the doors opened and Chris were washed up a white stream of light
{Your stats have been restructured, would you like to view them}
Bahhhhh.
"Winds?"
