The door hanging in midair caught Julian's eye; his lips parted to ask when he felt Eva grip his wrist as they vanished into the dungeon.
Julian blinked and found himself in the familiar dungeon surroundings. He nodded to himself, amazed that the door was actually the entrance to the dungeon.
"Don't take on any monster yet, you just woke—" Eva was interrupted when Julian pinched her cheeks.
"Eva dear, there's no need to worry, I'm perfectly healthy and ready to face any dungeon monster." Though speaking with a playful smile tugging at his lips, his voice carried a serious undertone.
He wanted real food, not porridge, for dinner and needed to prove his strength to Eva and improve his power level.
Ethan folded his arms and watched Julian with eyes full of unhidden mirth, sensing what was going through Julian's mind, and he planned to watch him suffer without helping.
