You spent more than half your funds on her.
The invasive thoughts of the Unkindled echoed in his mind again.
"Yeah, but the return on investment should be quite substantial. Most of what she will be dropping won't be useful to her. Clubs, maces, swords, resources for professions and more. I'm not even sure what the others do with those drops, maybe keep them in their stash. Besides that, it all goes to waste unless they have a recycler."
A recycler can be bought on the fifth shop tier.
"I can't even begin to imagine how much is required to unlock that tier. Just this last one was what, 1000? I can't even buy anything in there with what I have left. Hopefully Aleesia brings back useful things to recycle."
Mori got up, stretching.
Mori had sent Aleesia away, hoping she would progress a bit.
He was about to do the same.
Aura was leagues ahead of him days ago, he had still only beaten [0-1].
After giving Aleesia the bow, he asked her to go and get done with the next floor, which she reluctantly did, hours ago now.
"Alright, time to go..." said Mori.
He opened the [Dungeon] tab, again.
[Aleesia is requesting an invite to your room.]
"What? Already?"
Mori invited her.
He heard her walking from the next room, quickly making her way toward him.
Did she even clear the floor, or just waited around scared?
She finally appeared, a smile on her face.
"What happened?" asked Mori. "Did you clear [0-1]?" he asked.
"No..."
"What? Seriously?!-"
"I've cleared up to [0-5]," she brightly said.
What?
Ohoh.
"You're kidding?" he asked.
"I'm pretty good with a bow, and now that I have one, it changes everything! I will require more arrows, some of them are now quite dull," she said, approaching.
She dropped on the floor the loot she got from the rooms.
He finally was right by the entry of the room. He peeked inside silently and quickly, stepping back the moment after.
Mori massaged his forehead.
It was a single enemy, but this one was a dog made of bones.
If the last room is a dog pack, I don't know how I'll manage.
He took several more steps back, then sat against the wall of the passageway.
"What's even the correct strategy here?"
He tried mentally reviewing fights he had done in games involving a similar enemy.
"No point in overthinking it right now."
Mori got up and walked toward the room, tapping the ground with the spear, attracting its attention.
It quickly turned its head toward him and took a few steps back while tilting its head upward.
Is it trying to growl?
Mori's spear was pointed toward it. He took a few calculated steps while trying to get a feel for its speed.
The dog ran backward, then sideways, trying to go around Mori.
"Really?"
The dog ran forward, its limbs clicking on the floor as it rapidly closed ground on Mori.
A few steps from him, it jumped.
Mori, without any trouble, swung the spear sideways, turning the dog into a jigsaw puzzle.
The usual kindle dropped on the floor, with no item.
"Really? It's this easy?" Mori approached the kindle, touching the small flame.
The door at the end of the room opened.
He walked toward it, while contemplating his profile. Stay updated with m-v le-mpyr
"Was it really only hard because of my low level?"
Mori finally understood what Aleesia meant by 'The curve isn't steep.'
Even he should manage swift progression at this rate.
He walked for a short moment, reaching the next room which had a dog and a short skeleton.
He chuckled. "It's basically the same thing as [0-1]."
Mori smiled as he entered the room directly, tapping his spear on the ground.
