Mike looked up into the star-filled sky, beside him stood his backpack, and on top of him lay a blanket he had taken out of the backpack earlier
"This sure is life"
The thing Mike was laying on was neither the ground nor was it a ship, it was the biggest of the skull whales he had 'tad' earlier, the skull whale was currently swimming in the direction of the next island in-between him and the continent of which there still was 3 including the one he was heading to, Ti passed and eventually, Mike grew tired of looking at the sky alone and started ditating after he ordered the skull whales to stop for the night while he evolved the most of them, as they were thrashing around in pain as their bodies underwent massive changes, Mike started his ditation and soon it was daylight
"Hungry"
Mike waved his hand and the newly evolved skull whales dove down below the waves and began hunting for sothing to eat, both for them and for Mike
"This is the shit"
Mike was munching on so unknown sea creature that was covered in a shell after he had drained its blood with the knife as the skull whales moved on as all of them now had been evolved, the changes in them were rather big as their previous white skulls had turned dull red and their pervious blue bodies had turned black, Mike laid back on the back of a skull whale and rested for a few hours after he was done eating when he woke again Mike once again ditated until he was hungry and ordered the skull whales to hunt him so food This went on for about a week before Mike finally spotted land in the distance and patted the skull whale he was ridding to go faster
"God I am tired of seafood I sure hope this island has a dungeon I need to stock up on elder blood before I start experinting with it"
Mike summoned his wings of blood before he gave a tal ssage to the skull whales to head to the opposite side of the island and wait for him there before he flew off, Mike flew for a few hours before he started looking for a city where he could obtain so information, he eventually found a city after looking for about half an hour by following a road, deciding not to brother with showing off his status as a level 7 he landed a few kiloters away from the city and walked the rest of the way to the gates, after he got into the city without any shenanigans from the guards' side he walked around the city for a bit before sothing caught his nose, he slled cooked red at and red wine
'...Fuck it, let's graciously praise this fine establishnt with my majestic presence'
Mike followed his nose and arrived at what surprisingly didn't look like an upper-class restaurant but simply an inn That seed to serve really good food, Mike walked in and asked the manager there
"Hey, do you serve food here?"
"We sure do, would you like to order?"
"I sure would, get a dish of everything on the nu"
The almost perfect business smile twitched for a mont as the manger was about to ask Mike if he had spoken wrongly but seeing Mike's serious expression he kept quiet and instead he said
"...Sure please take a seat sir"
Mike took a seat and for the next 2 hours of eating that followed he was in heaven as he stuffed his face and kept eating everything that was placed before him, by the ti he was finished he had drunk about 16 cups of wine but still he was quite sober
"I must say this is the beast 23-course-nu I have ever eaten What does the bill look like?"
"Well 12.000"
"Oh Well, give a second"
Mike grabbed his backpack and put it onto the table before he counted out 12.000 and handed it to the manger that then recounted it before he gave a nod and spoke
"If you would like to stay the night I can offer you a room free of charge"
"Thanks, I'll graciously accept"
Mike reached out as he slowly beca conscious, alas his hands grasped nothing That was what woke him up, that he felt nothing at his side, he rolled over from his side and as he lay on his back and looked up into the ceiling he muttered
"I didn't know you could miss a person that much"
Mike sighed before he sat up and stretched
"Now what to do today First I should ask if there's a dungeon on this island"
Mike got dressed before he packed his stuff into his backpack and walked downstairs and asked the manager
"Good morning This might be an odd question, but is there a dungeon on this island?"
The manager nodded
"Sure there is, the thing is though that it's a private dungeon monopolized by the king, it's not open for adventures"
"I see Do you know where it is?"
"About 2 weeks travel to the west, in a city called Moria"
"I see, thanks again for the food"
"You're welco"
Mike walked out of the inn before he looked up at the sun
'So the sun rises in the east in this world too, so the opposite of that is west, so that way Well then let's go'
Mike summoned his wings and with a single flutter he flew off towards the west with the sun in his back he flew for a few hours following a road down below, he passed several cities before he decided that he had flown long enough and landed at the next city he ca across in full view of the guards, before they could send any ssengers to the higher-ups Mike approached and asked
"Is this Moria?"
"Ah Yes, your lordship, this is the city of Moria"
"I see May I pass?"
"Yes, please pass your lordship Oh, and enjoy your ti in Moria"
A red light flashed in Mike's eyes before he showed a slight smile
"Yes I will Don't you worry about that, I will"
Mike folded his hands behind his back and walked past the guards into the city, after asking around a bit he learned the way to the dungeon and found it soon thereafter
"Now then"
Mike looked at the study walls that surrounded the dungeon and thought for a mont before he decided to just walk past the gates
"Stop! This is property of king---"
"[Blood domination]"
"AAAGGGRRRHHH!!!"
A terrifying scream ca from the poor guard that was just doing his job as his head twisted itself off, Mike looked at the other guard and asked
"Do you value your life?"
"Y-Y-Yes!"
"Then don't block my way"
"Y-Y-Y-Yes!"
The guard strep back and allowed Mike to pass, which he did as he walked past the walls he spotted the entrance to the dungeon after walking for a little bit and simply strolled inside to the first floor
"...Let's speed things up"
Mike kicked off the ground and disappeared from the view of re mortal eyes as he rushed through the tunnels at a fighting speed
About a month later Mike woke from his sleep, he didn't know how deep he was in the dungeon as he had stopped counting the floor numbers at around floor 300, he did however know one thing and that was that he needed a shower
"Or maybe a full-on decontamination Yeah that would be nice"
Mike sighed, he had long since taken off his shirt and only wore a pair of leather pants, as for what he had done with his shirt? It had been degraded to cleaning cloth which he would wipe dirt and sweat from his body, but it had since beco too dirty to fulfill that task so he had simply dropped it at so point.
As for how he had survived in the dungeon for so long? He had eaten monsters, well not fresh off the bone but instead from their dried corpses, strangely he had felt a little thirsty at the start but that soon faded away (which was convenient) Mike closed his eyes and tried to feel his body, more specifically his blood, after consuming monster crystals and cores for the past month he had converted about a quarter of his blood to elder blood
"Well then, let's face this boss"
Mike looked towards the closed doors and still, he felt a slight chill, sothing about this boss seed different from the others he, however, could not put his finger on exactly what was different so he simply shrugged and spun the knife around before he ward his body up slightly by doing so shadow boxing before he cracked his neck sending out so very unpleasant sound crack sounds in the dark and quiet corridor before he hyped himself up
"Let's do this"
