"You have a new communication message: Aurora Morwyn invites you to a video call. Please respond."
Not long after Fenric returned to Samsara Square, a communication request from Aurora popped up.
He accepted without hesitation.
Aurora's beautiful, heroic face appeared on the screen.
"Shura, congratulations! Another super god evaluation."
Fenric smiled lightly. "Where are you? I'll buy you some tea."
"Discuss it with Belle? We've already had two pots of tea tonight—I can't drink anymore!" Aurora chuckled wryly before continuing, "We're at Box 2797 in the teahouse. If you're free, can you come over?"
"Alright, I'll be there in a moment."
Fenric ended the call and instructed the system to teleport him to the teahouse.
Moments later, he walked into Box 2797.
Inside, the Morwyn sisters were already waiting.
As soon as Fenric entered, both sisters stood up.
"Shura, congratulations again," Aurora said warmly.
Belle didn't speak. She simply gazed at Fenric, her eyes carrying a deep and unreadable expression.
Fenric smiled. "Aurora, we're old friends—no need for formalities. If you want to congratulate me, I should be congratulating Belle as well."
Belle finally broke her silence.
"Shura, thank you," she said sincerely. "As per our agreement, the rewards from my dungeon evaluation—everything except the points—belong to you.
I received four rewards: Samsara Points, attribute points, a special item, and a Golden Treasure Box. The 30 physique attribute points were directly added to me. As for the other items, if there's something you don't want, you can sell it to me at a high price, right?"
Fenric understood the implication: Belle wanted to use her points to compensate him.
But he shook his head with a smile. "No need. You've taken good care of me these past months. Don't worry about it."
"Taken care of?" Aurora interjected suddenly, arching a brow. "Shura, how exactly did Belle 'take care' of you?"
"She cooked every day," Fenric replied, deadpan.
Aurora instantly turned to Belle and grabbed her by the ear. "You little rascal! At home, you always act like you can't cook and let me starve, but you were cooking for him? So you lied to me all along?"
Belle shot Fenric a glare before pleading, "Sister, I was wrong! I'll cook for you when we go back, I promise!"
"You'd better!" Aurora huffed.
Fenric couldn't help but chuckle at their sisterly quarrel.
Belle quickly changed the topic.
"In addition to the points and attribute boost, I also have a special item and a Golden Treasure Box for you, Shura. Let's go to the trading center and hand them over."
"Not so fast," Fenric said casually. "What time is it?"
Belle blinked. "I… just came out of the dungeon. I didn't check."
"It's 3:10," Aurora replied.
"Three o'clock, huh? Then I can run another dungeon," Fenric said nonchalantly.
The sisters' expressions froze.
"Shura, are you serious?!" Aurora's voice rose. "You just came out of a dungeon! Do you really need to push yourself this hard?"
"This last dungeon was boring—I stayed in one place for months. I feel like I'm getting rusty," Fenric shrugged. "Besides, the large-scale PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds dungeon will open in September—just two months from now. I want to sharpen my strength and give those plotting against me a little… surprise."
Aurora sighed helplessly. "At this rate, in two months, Adam will be crushed under your feet."
"All the better," Fenric grinned.
"Fine, fine. Since you're set on this, I won't try to stop you."
"Aurora, I don't have a dungeon cooldown refresh card right now. I'll need your help with that," Fenric said bluntly.
But Aurora wasn't annoyed—in fact, she seemed pleased.
His tone meant he treated her as a true friend.
"Perfect timing," she said with a smile. "A friend from Area B has three cooldown refresh cards. I'll have them sent over later."
"Thanks, Aurore. I owe you one," Fenric replied.
"Don't say that. After everything you've done for Belle, this is nothing," Aurora said.
"Yes," Belle added, "Shura, if you need anything, just say the word."
"Alright, enough of this," Fenric waved them off. "Aurora, tell me about the Sixth Stage Dungeon. I don't know much about it."
Aurora stared at him, dumbfounded.
"Shura, are you kidding me? You don't even know what it's about, and you're ready to dive in?"
"That's why I'm asking you," Fenric replied with a smile.
Aurora sighed in defeat. "I really can't win against you. Fine, listen carefully. The Sixth Stage is 'The Avengers.' It's a massive dungeon world, similar to One Piece. Upon entering, you can select an identity, and that identity will carry over to the second stage of the dungeon.
The world setting is modern, with advanced technology. The primary mission is to kill an alien species called the Chitauri—at least 20 of them. The mission lasts ten hours, with five hours of preparation time beforehand.
The more aliens you kill, the higher your evaluation score.
Once you enter, there's also an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. Most of them are normal humans, but there are some incredibly strong individuals—Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, to name a few. Be especially careful with Hulk. When he's angry, he can't tell friend from foe, and his power is monstrous."
Aurora hesitated, then added, "Shura, I really suggest you rest tonight and do some research online before diving into this dungeon tomorrow."
"I know what I'm doing," Fenric said with a dismissive wave.
It wasn't arrogance.
Fenric was deeply familiar with The Avengers storyline. In terms of knowledge, who in this world could match him?
"Aurora, with your current strength, could you take down Hulk?" Fenric asked curiously.
Aurora's lips curled into a confident smile. "Of course. That brute only surpasses me in raw strength—nothing else."
Fenric nodded slightly. He knew then just how far he still had to go to catch up with an A-rank Samsara.
