“Bad decisions make life freaking hard for you in the future,” Penny said as they were still traveling on the boat. “One of the biggest regrets of my life is not settling with a good man when I was in my twenties or thirties. single life sucks after you cross forty. I’m saying this now because I’ve realized on this journey that you two seem worse than I did in my younger days, though in a very different way. I dated douchebags left and right, but you look like you won’t date anybody even if you were offered riches and fame. And that’s not good for mental or physical health.”Ria and Myles were sitting on opposite ends of the boat, with Penny sitting in the middle.“We’re not far from the venture city now,” Penny added. “It’s a city full of opportunities, so forget about your past. Do the things that are necessary right now for you to live the life that you want in the future. There are a lot of paths that look good in the beginning, like the solo adventures you can have when you’re wr

Ria rushed straight into the hotel room after Penny paid the bill in advance.“I only paid for one week, but afterward, you’ve gotta pay for yourselves,” Penny told them and walked out of the building.Myles also walked out behind her.“Mm?” she glanced back. “You want something?”“Do you really don’t have any power crystals?”“Hmph, look at you being so shameless,” she snorted in annoyance.“I told you I’ll repay you one day. Even one power crystal would do….” Myles requested politely.“Tsk,” Penny’s heart felt like it was stung a bit. When he looked at Myles, it felt like her son might have looked like Myles had she married and had kids on time. “People outside the wolf city don’t even know the existence of these things. So you better not sell it to anybody, or you’ll get into big trouble.”“I promise I won’t sell it,” Myles assured.Penny then put three power crystals in his hand. “These are all I can give.” All of them were orange crystals that would boost one’s stamina and durabi

The continent where the Venture city was established was called Venturia.In the Cobra city, people with the ability to fight monsters were called mages; however, in Venturia, they were called Venerers.Mages had levels: omega, deltas, betas, alphas, and doyens. Omegas and Doyens were extremely rare, so they weren’t even used by people often.Venerers had ranks: D, C, B, A, and S. These ranks were given because there were generally five different types of dungeons that popped out on this continent.A D-rank dungeon looked like a daffodil flower, giving off a light golden yellow shine. This type of dungeons usually showed up in dark regions.A C-rank dungeon looked like a coral, giving off many mild colors. This type of dungeons generally popped out where there was water or moisture or high humidity levels.A B-rank dungeon looked like a bagel. This type of dungeons showed up in the middle of the night, generally where food was wasted.An A-rank dungeon looked like a half-cut apricot,

BAM~!A loud noise echoed in the tunnel as the thick tip of the frog’s tongue struck Myles’ glowing red fist.The tongue was sent thrashing back. It hit the walls on either side a couple of times before the frog managed to pull the tongue back into its mouth, but Myles was already upon it.“Die!” He jumped, somersaulted in the air, and axed a glowing kick down on its forehead. The frog’s skull cracked, but it still managed to lift its head and push him back. Though Myles landed safely on the ground, he could feel his leg trembling. “Dammit. I can’t believe I’m struggling against a frog.”He had believed that during the two months of travel, he grew much stronger just by following a set breathing pattern, but after clashing with the frog, he realized that he overestimated the breathing process.“Was the technique I used not good enough for this world? At this rate, how long will it take for me to reach the top? A decade? No, probably much longer.”Just thinking about it made him feel

Myles walked down a stone pavement lit up with glowing stones. There were muddy grounds on either side of the pavement, with either frozen or hibernating frogs numbered in dozens on both sides.However, Myles’ gaze was on the throne that was on the other side of the pavement. A humanoid brown frog was sitting on the throne and was smoking from a pipe. He had a cone-shaped star crystal come out of the crown of his head.“I’ve been dying from boredom and was thinking about leaving this place,” the boss frog spoke, “but someone finally showed up.” He blew smoke through his mouth, nostrils, as well as ears. “I don’t want to kill you too quickly, so…” he picked one of the swords that were next to the throne and threw it on the pavement. The sword slid and reached Myles’ feet and stopped inches away from him. “Why don’t you use that sword and kill some of my boredom first?” he whistled, and the hibernating frogs moved and converged onto Myles. There were more than 24 frogs, all of them with
