Leah knelt beside her bed as she prayed to Goddess Euna. She was the Goddess of the River and Lake, and her late mother was one of the people who believed in her greatly.
Right after he finished praying, he heard a knock coming from the door of his room.
'Surely Big Brother is checking on me,' Leah thought as she rushed to open the door.
However, the one standing outside her room was not her brother, but James, the Supervisor of Lont.
"Sorry, am I bothering you?" James asked.
"No, Grandpa," replied Leah. "I just finished my prayer."
James smiled and nodded his head. He then gives Leah a letter and says good night to her. Leah watched as her "Grandfather" disappeared in the hallway before closing the door to her room. He looked at the letter in his hand with curiosity.
Leah knew that James would not do unnecessary things. If he wanted to talk to her, there was no need to use letters as a medium. Because that's what happened then where did this letter come from?
"I don't think I have any choice but to read it." Leah sighed and started reading the letter in her hand.
Five minutes later…
Leah left her room in haste. His heart was pounding wildly within his chest. If possible, he wanted to run towards the door, but he did not want to make a fuss inside the house.
As he left the main entrance, his calm demeanor changed. Leah no longer cared about etiquette as she ran with all her might towards the East Side of Lont. His white robe fluttered at night, no matter if it was dirty or not.
His lungs were already yelling at him and the stinging pain in his chest made him realize that he was pushing himself to his limit. However, he doesn't care.
There was only one thing on his mind. He's got to see her. The man she and her brother thought had died during the Beast Tide.
Under the moonlight, the beautiful girl with the midnight blue hair arrived in the forest. He leaned against the tree, panting as he endured the pain in his chest.
"Stupid girl. Why should you force yourself like this?” Sebas asked. "I'm not going anywhere."
"Dad!" Leah shouted and jumped into her father's arms.
Sensing a strong and protective embrace enveloping her, Leah's last defenses collapsed. She cried, and cried, until Sebas could no longer hold her back and without feeling Sebas was shedding tears as well.
There were so many words they wanted to say, but all of them disappeared as they hugged each other. For now, those questions must hold. Because of the place n circumstances that are not possible.

William locked the main entrance of the goat by opening and closing all its windows. His grandfather had reminded him that he should be more wary of his surroundings while using the Ring of Conquest.
The goats lined up consecutively as their eyes stared at William excitedly. They had been waiting for this moment and they were all excited to explore and train inside the Goblin Crypt.
"Have they all been?" William asked with a smile.
""Meeeeeeh!""
“What is our top priority?”
“”Meeeeeeee!””(Safety).
"It's so thick." William nodded his head. “Safety is our top priority. All of you are not allowed to leave the team and roam alone inside the dungeon. Troublemakers will be punished! You will be banned from entering the basement for a day. Are you guys clear? ”
""Meeeeeh!"(Yes Sir).
William smiled and boarded his Mama Ella. He then clenched his fists and activated the ring on his finger. "Open, the Ring of Conquest!"
A white light enveloped everyone inside the goat cage and led them into the dungeon. William's understanding of how to control the Conquest Ring had allowed him to choose which floor to appear on.
He did not hesitate and chose the Twelfth Floor Goblin Crypt.
William and Ella were at the front, while both teams flanked his side. The difference between the Eleventh Floor and the Twelfth Floor is the number of Hobgoblins.
Two Warrior Hobgoblins and One Hobgoblin Archer are the most common compositions on their floors today. Sometimes, there were exceptions where there were two archers and only one soldier.
Even so, it was no different from the small herd of goats that saw them, not as monsters, but as experience points. The Angorian goat tactic is very simple.
They first used Quick Attack to get close to their target. Next, they used Horn Attack to inflict greater damage. The arrow fired by the archer was instantly blocked by William's Ice Bullet.
The battle would soon be a one-sided blow, as soon as the goats arrived within close range of the battle. Seven hours later, the group managed to clear the twelfth floor with ease.
William ordered them to rest for an hour before continuing the exploration. The Thirteenth Floor was a little more complicated as there were four Hobgoblins in each group.
To overcome this formation, Aslan and Chronos decided to split their team. William only gave them advice and the two leaders acted with determined expressions.
Three goats per Hobgoblin. It was a new battle plan they had made. The battle took longer, but the results were satisfactory.
After two days, William and the others cleared the Thirteenth Floor, and descended to the Fourteenth Floor.
The Goat Army had leveled up and were all currently Level 20.
Ella, on the other hand, was now Level 10.
After careful consideration, William decided to allocate his skill points on two offensive skills that matched his rank.
< Wild Charging 10 / 10 >
(30 Points Mana)
— Envelop yourself with inner strength and attack the target wildly.
— Damage given equivalent to Strength Stat x 10
— Gives 2x Damage to Beast Type Monsters
— Have a chance to stun enemies.
This was a more powerful version of the Horn Attack. It was a skill meant to destroy everything in its path.
The next skill that William chose was Mega Kick.
< Mega Kick 8 / 10 >
(30 Points Mana)
— Provides powerful kicks that can crush large stones easily.
— Damage given equivalent to Strength x 8
— Provides 3x Damage to non-living creatures, objects, or constructions
If Wild Charge was a skill meant to take the life of a living being. Mega Kick is meant to destroy inanimate objects.
According to the system, there were some beings in the world such as the Undead, and the Golems, which were extremely difficult to kill in an ordinary manner. This is why William chose to add Mega Kick in order for Ella to have the means to handle any situation.
Although his current skills did not reach his Max Level, the damage was still strong enough to blow away everything that was blocking them.
Actually, William wanted to celebrate their success, but the goats still wanted to leave. Will and Ella are in trouble. Both of them thought that it was time to leave, but they were also curious about what they would do on the Fourteenth Floor.
