Chapter 286: Its me (1/2)
”The residents of this floor stay away from the middle.”
”Is there a reason for it?”
”In the past, there were the strongest families from each border living here. But it has changed for some time. There is an unknown group doing something in the middle…”
”What about the guardian's family?”
”I don't know. If we look at the floor's system, then no residents were hurt nor their lands were invaded by this group, so the guardian family might be just keeping an eye. This group must have some backing if this is true.”
Kyoya and Hiro were speaking about their next goal.
A few weeks have already passed and everyone felt the power growing within them. Kyoya also helped his new friend deal with light attributes through quests and Hiro's mood was slowly returning to the one where he dreamed big.
His wives were genuinely happy and also content with their strength growth.
Returning to the next goal, both Kyoya and Hiro wanted to go to the middle area where the different elements coexisted with each other.
It was a challenge for both of them, but also the place where the fox woman might possibly be. Kyoya had nothing to lose and he was naturally eager to check the new areas and complete his mission!
Besides, if the husband failed to find a woman, then would he be the husband?
”Let's pack things up and head out then.”
”Yeah.”
Hiro's underground base was actually done by the treasure!
It was an item that could form the base in ground below 30th floor, so it was an item worthy of the title treasure. Kyoya and Josef were interested in that with the latter trying to learn a few ideas out of it.
Josef's Labyrinth was his playground and weapon, the thing he wanted to develop as much as possible. He learned a few tricks and both Hiro and Josef became good friends out of this encounter.
The party left the hidden base, then an already familiar forest extended its branches and leafs onto the husband's heaven. No monster could be heard in this area as everyone had enough quests to deal with those!
After some time, those monsters were nothing more than victims of the husband's game system that kept powering up his friends!

”You better stop here.”
After an adventure that lasted a while, Kyoya and his party got stopped by the old man clad in the old and long robes. Those robes completely hid his features and appearances, so nothing could be seen.
His face was also hidden and darkness only poked its eyes out of the hoodie.
”Why?”
The husband's question was just a natural and formal course of events.
This question alone asked for a lot. Why would the old man block anyone from coming close to the middle area and what were his origins? What was going on in the middle area for the unknown group to warn everyone?
The old voice didn't answer any of those questions.
”I warned you.”
