I kept looking through the shop items and after going through most of them; I found these which I could afford. Though looking at the prices, it seems like I could only afford only one of them… at max two.

[Total Cronas: 17710]

I looked at the Cronas and then observed the prices again.

Sigh

Even after selling the used Zombie Cores, I could only get so many Cronas.

'Seems like I could only afford one of the first three items.' I looked at it with a dejected face before pondering which one to buy for.

And after thinking about it for a few minutes, I finally decided that… I didn't exactly need anything among them.

"Do you have anything that could heal better? Something in the affordable range and in the Rare Rank?" I asked as I looked at Rhea and she first observed me for a few seconds, shook her head with a sigh, before going through the [Shop Items] and reaching out a particular item.

[Ring of the Curer(Rare)]

[Made by the fiance of the Great Physician Alberto Descarde Serelius as a proof of her love. She learnt the ways of healing and mixed it with Alchemy, creating something even better. Looking carefully, you might find the initials of the lovers too.

Effect: Heals 1% HP per minute(Max up to 75%). When the Health goes below 10% Heals an additional 100 HP per minute along with the usual 1%.

Cost: 125,000 Cronas]

"O!!!" I was really fascinated by that ring as I observed its description and the way it works. Its effect was really something extraordinary. I mean, no matter how much HP you have, as long as it's below 75% you will get it filled up to 75% within 75 minutes.

Though when my eyes reached the price…

"..."

I could only gulp at it. Damn these high sky prices…

"This is the most 'affordable' healing ring in the Rare Category," Rhea spoke as she turned to me and I could only give a sad look to her.

Welp… whatever.

"Let's buy that then," I said as I purchased the item that I decided would be best for now.

"Hmmm? Are you sure you want to buy this one? It's not a bad item but… you probably won't be needing it as much," Rhea spoke as she observed me with a slightly confused look.

"It's not for me," I said as I looked at that amulet in my hands as I cashed in for it.

[Amulet of Faith(Uncommon)]

[Total Cronas: 5710]

"That girl, huh? Quite a caring boyfriend you are," she spoke with a slight smirk and I chuckled at her response before speaking,

"Since we have about 21 hours before I enter the dungeon, let's start I guess," I said as I moved towards the [Weapons] section, temporarily bought a wooden practice sword and entered the Trial Area.

Rhea followed me quietly as she observed me without uttering any words.

And so, for the next 21 hours, I tried swinging another perfect swing… using all my concentration. All my focus.

I did not know what Dungeon might present me… but I hope it will help me get strong enough. With the System getting locked in Levels and stuff, my powers were limited for now. There is only so much Cronas I could earn on a daily basis, even if I were to go all out.

Going to the dungeon wasn't a choice now… it was a necessity.

I had many thoughts in my mind, so I made a bit more mistakes than normal. Though it was fine, as I ended up finishing the attack in 19 hours this time…

"Phew!" I gave out a long breath as I fell on my butt before laying on the ground on my back as I spoke,

"Better than last time, I guess… Timing wise at least."

Going by how things are progressing, I guess it should take about 3 or 4 weeks to reach the 1 hour mark.

'Hmmmm…. That makes me wonder…' I thought something before peeking at Rhea as I asked,"Hey! I can enter the [Second Space] from the Dungeon, right?"

Honestly, I believe it should be possible easily since this skill is a part of the system… however,

"I don't think so. Most Dungeons have their own rules and stuff, especially when it comes to dimensions and stuff. Like you can't teleport in a dungeon to directly reach the last floor or travel between dimensions whenever you want.

Since this Space is like a different dimension, even having its own time flow, most probably when you go to the dungeon, you won't be able to reach here until you complete or leave the dungeon," spoke Rhea as she pondered about the whole thing from an objective point of view.

"Something like that, huh?" I muttered with a really odd look as I didn't like that part of the Dungeon.

"Well. That just increases the difficulty of the whole thing, I suppose," I chuckled before getting up as I continued,"Whatever the case is. We will find it only after we enter the dungeon."

Standing up, I looked at Rhea before I began to walk out of the Trial room, waving my hand at Rhea as I spoke.

"Don't worry. I will return as soon as possible. You won't be missing me for so long."

I could hear her cursing me in a low voice before I moved out of the [Second Space] back to the bedroom where I was sleeping with Caroline.

Slowly helping her sleep on the bed as I moved her off my body, as I kissed her a little before taking out the Amulet of Faith and tying it around her neck. I smiled a little before kissing her a bit more and then standing up and getting dressed properly.

Slowly, I moved out of the room as I yawned a little and moved down the floors one at a time.

The night had just arrived, and it was about 8 PM if I am not wrong. I could have done a bit more with the [Daily Quests] but for some reason I decided to visit the Dungeon as fast as possible.

Soon, I reached out the main gate of the building and looked around for a few moments as I found no one around me.

'Did everyone go up?' I thought as I pondered a little before turning back to the main gate, which I closed from outside and took out the reward I received for defeating the C-Grade Zombie

[Golden Dungeon key!]

Special Effect(1): The Difficulty is increased by 2 Grades.

Special Effect(2): The Rewards are increased by 3 Grades.

"Well… let's begin," I said as I put the key into the lock.

It was finally time I looked into what exactly this dungeon is…
