"I see, in the end you're going to enter the dungeon? Those girls is eager to fight alongside you so bad, but----" Astraea who hasn't seem to recover from Agwin and his bad-root friend, deeply sigh in disappointment.
Yes. Starting from here-on, she never saw Dwight as an adventurer nor an acquaintance of Agwin rather, she saw him as a bad-root for Agwin and nothing more.
Knowing that a horse is not welcome inside the dungeon, the two leave Maiya---Agwin's horse---in their [Stardust Garden]'s garden which made Astraea poke its neck and complained. "Girl, I don't know what to do with that owner of yours"
Neigh------! Is what Maiya concur as if agreeing.

"Agwin?"
"Uwo, Alise-chan!"
Noticing the two sprinting their way towards the Babel after departing from the [Stardust Garden], Alise who also happened to use the roof of the houses as her foothold and saw the two and asks in perplexed.
The man near Agwin who replied instead of his, she seemed to recognize him!
Dwight at the same time. . .calling her '-chan' made Agwin depressed and disgusts which made him utter: "this bastard, we really are different!"
"Are you going to dive inside the dungeon?" Alise questioned.
"Yes!" Agwin confirmed so.
"W-with him?" Alise looked at Dwight with menacing aura.
"With me, Alise-chan!"
"Yes, with this stupid-looking bastard"
But Dwight didn't seemed to notice, so Agwin reply in his stead.
But Agwin after looking at Alise who look sad and in pain, felt tinged of guilt. They wanted to train with him inside the dungeon. Excited and hoping since two days ago but Agwin always rejected them so they only waited.
But then without any prior appointment, she bumped with him and all of the sudden wanting to dive inside the dungeon with others.
Who would not feel the pain? He shouldn't be surprise if they weren't angry. Agwin couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, for himself being this selfish.
But for Agwin, this is an urgent matter. After all, he needed those skill that badly..
"I wish you goodluck, then?" she said so as she turned her back away from the two,
Agwin then stated: "Its alright, we have time for us later. We'll do it with others until you can't raise your body!" Which made Alise release a faint smile, enough not to be seen by Agwin. She immediately continue her journey and leave the area.
"Eh? What? Boss? Is that a wholesome---ack nevermind, let's go! to level 2!" As the two is about to resume, Dwight jested whilst Agwin pound his fists unto the former's forehead.
Arriving outside the dungeon, Agwin is now equip with the beginner perk adventurer armor. the worn out-looking chest-plate combined with backplate, greaves and a vambrase, and a short sword hanging in his waist. Dwight wasn't sure when did Agwin equipped it or where'd he get it. But one thing Dwight is sure of. . .That equipment is not his.
As they don't have the horse this time. The guard let them enter without stopping them. At the same time it recognize them but didn't strike a conversation out of the two. It only look at their back silhouette until they gone inside.
Inside the Dungeon.
"If you didn't level up today, we destroy 'that' thing once it resurrect!"
"Eheheh, so we finally get our revenge, huh? To think boss didn't even made a daunt in it the last time, pathetic"
"I didn't know the existence of falna or 'weakness' during then. If I did, that thing didn't lasts even a minute! hump!" Agwin harrumph.
As the two started to converse, goblins started spawning. created from the cracks on the ground and from the wall as it starts attacking them. Bit it didn't give the duo any sweat at all which even Dwight find it boring.
As Dwight nocks an arrow, he pierces two goblins and nock another, then pierces four. He uses [Stride Step] and simultaneously arrived at the back of the goblins and kill them. He then pulled the arrows from the wall where it attached and then repeat this proces.
"Wow, that looks dumb, using such convenient skill just to get arrows. Tsk"
Agwin slightly swung down his finger and another goblin was cut in half.
The sword from his waist is now hovering as it was the one who killed the goblin. It immediately hovers near him and: "This sword is already worn out. Damn, all of my spare sword the last time was destroyed just because of that shitty negligence" he noted and look at the dazzling purple colored crystal that dropped by the monsters. He pulled them into his palm and into a pouch on his other waist. He intentionally didn't put them inside his storage for a reason:
"The last time, the only damage we inflict to this monsters is by destroying their teeth but to think It would be this simple if you have falna. By the way, did you feel your stat, risen?"
"I didn't, unlike the broken you. We need our deity to update our status" He saw that Agwin is occupied by something but he knew what exactly he is doing.
"Ah its unfair, I also want that system! Why I didn't have that when we are exactly the same? Ahh" Dwight complained.
"Alter Reality is the 'reality'. This system of mine is virtual" So Agwin reminded.
"Jeez, I know alright but why can't I even do that?" Dwight pointed at Agwin's hovering sword.
"Doing this is but a fleeting dream. Unless there's another variable"
"Tsk! I hate you boss! You have almost everything even though we're the same, but you wanted to take away my [Stride Step]! my bread and butter! You even have your harem! Ahh" Dwight protests.
"Unless I wouldn't get the same skill I needed, I will take that away from you"
"Why boss!? Care to explain? This skill is just a normal skill compared to the rest of your skills!"
Agwin shared his notification with Dwight as the latter saw the word [Fleeting Picturesque] and [Polymerization]. This two are. . . .skill!? he wonder.
"When did you get it!? Also, what's its connection between my [Stride Step]!?"
"Heh, that's a secret. And as for your [Stride Step] I'm working for a teleportation. For now, its a solo teleportation. But in the future, I will achieve---no, I should have to achieve mass teleportation!"
"No no no, I mean how can the [Stride Step] has the synergy with that two skills?"
"Stupid archer. Alright I'll tell you. Of course you didn't know the real might [Stride Step] had! It can get you to a place within your sight, correct?---of what you can see! Of what you invision though limited in range! Then that skill alone counts as a semi-teleportation!"
"Y-yes? and?"
"Then what would happen with [Fleeting Picturesque] who guides your mind which gives you a full vision of a certain place, added with the [Stride Step] with the effect I mentioned?"
"T-teleportation?" answers Dwight with doubt. He just repeated what Agwin's word the last time.
"What else!" Agwin agreed.
"Hehe, I'm genius!" Dwight clamored which made Agwin chimed: "Yeah, stupidly genius"
