Aaric woke up in his room at the inn with Luna and Daphne in his arms and a pile of bags full of newly bought clothes in the room.
The clothes in the Tensura world were modern-style, made with monster parts to give them their desired properties.
Luna stirred in his arms and opened her eyes. She smiled at Aaric and leaned in to give him a kiss.
The time in the Tensura universe had a different flow because of the request they made to Hades, so they did not visit the dreamlands in their sleep.
"What should we do today? I just want to get more clothes for you. It was fun dressing you up last night," Luna whispered mischievously, kissing Aaric's lips and neck.
"I don't think I will need more clothes for a few lifetimes," Aaric whispered back as he stroked Luna's back.
"Let's go to the Labyrinth today," Aaric added.
Daphne stirred lazily on Aaric's other side and gave him a kiss before resting her head on his chest.
"What Labyrinth?" Daphne asked in a morning voice, still half asleep.
"Oh, the ruler of this city made a Labyrinth in the city. It's pretty cool with monsters and treasures," Aaric said.
Luna and Daphne agreed, and the three got ready to go to the Labyrinth after a bath.
They were dressed more for a date than an expedition in the Labyrinth, but they were powerful enough to justify that.
They looked around the town and sampled some food before going to the Labyrinth.
"Hello, we would like to explore the Labyrinth," Aaric said to the female Hobgoblin receptionist politely, gesturing to him and the girls.
"Certainly, would you like to form an official party or are you already registered in the Adventurers' Guild?" the receptionist asked with a bow.
"We would like to form a new one," Aaric said and was given a form to fill.
"What should the party name be?" Aaric asked as the three sat down and were filling up the forms.
"Let's go with Hades' Warriors as Lord Hades is the one who facilitated our trip here," Daphne suggested, and Luna nodded at that.
Aaric put in the party name and put himself as the Warrior while Luna as the Wizard and Daphne as the Warrior Mage.
"Thank you. I would recommend you all resurrection bracelets; they are free for the first time, and you would need to buy a new one for subsequent use," the receptionist said.
"I would like three of those. Do you have a permanent option?" Aaric asked, and the girl nodded and presented him with three beautiful bracelets.
"These are made from Magisteel and give you unlimited revivals, and you can teleport to safe zones with them as well," she said with a smile.
Aaric nodded and bought the bracelets for the three of them. He then gave some extra fee for the Labyrinth exploration cards.
They were given the bracelets and a steel card with the information of their party.
"You can sell any loot and monster cores to the merchants over there. I guarantee they will provide you with the best prices," the receptionist said as she pointed at some merchants.
"Yes, thank you for your help," Aaric said, and the receptionist bowed with a smile.
"Shall we?" Aaric asked, looking at Luna and Daphne.
"Shouldn't we buy some weapons for you and me as you did put us as Warriors?" Daphne suggested.
Aaric shrugged and bought a Magisteel sword while Daphne got a Magisteel spear. They then nodded and entered the Labyrinth.
The first floor was a forest area with weak Ogres and Goblins in it. It seems the Goblins formed in the Labyrinth were different from the ones they had met in the town.
Aaric just waved his hand and cut the monsters by manipulating the air while Daphne collected the monster cores using a space-type magic.
The three met some other adventurers who would nod at them and let them pass as they walked, thinking them an advance party.
They found some treasure chests along the way that contained some silver or bronze coins. They did not take the coins and let them be.
"Should I just fight them with my spear to get some skill?" Daphne asked.
"These monsters are weak anyway, go for it," Aaric said, giving Daphne a kiss as she went in front to fight the monsters.
Luna hugged Aaric's arm as Daphne fought the monsters with her spear, and Luna and Aaric followed her.
"Don't you want to fight, Angel?" Aaric asked Luna, and she just shook her head.
"I will just be using spells, and I can't get any practice on these weak monsters," Luna said.
It took them three hours at most to reach the tenth floor and find the first boss room.
"You are learning fast, Love. You are a natural with a spear," Aaric complimented Daphne.
Daphne beamed and kissed Aaric. "I think I hear a voice in my head that said 'You have gained the spear skill and spacial manipulation skill'; after I hear that, some spear moves and space-based spells just entered my mind," Daphne said.
"That is the Voice of the World. It can grant you skills and spells and even abilities like Parallel Thinking," Aaric explained with a nod.
"The spear moves and skills are helpful. I did get a lot of spells and knowledge about all sorts of spells and weapons when I was blessed, so the space abilities are not really helpful," Daphne said.
"Of course, Love. All three of us were blessed by very powerful gods and full pantheons; I think there are things the Voice of the World can learn from us," Aaric said with a chuckle.
"And with Luna's Golden Sand, you both can use those abilities at full strength. I think we three can easily defeat Avatars of some gods or even full gods in the waking world," Aaric added.
Luna and Daphne looked at each other as they heard that.
"I should go defeat the first boss," Daphne said after a minute, not knowing what to say.
They entered the boss room and found an Ogre Lord there, wielding a massive sword and some lesser Ogres standing around it.
Daphne went ahead and took her time fighting the Ogre. She only used her spear for defense and concentrated on defending herself from the strikes of the Ogres and Ogre Lord she was getting from all angles.
{You have gained the extra skill: Spear of Light}
{You have gained the extra skill: Sage}
Daphne heard in her head, and her spear tip glowed with a light golden as she concentrated on her first skill. She channeled some of her magical energy to her brain and found the movement of the Ogres felt like slow motion to her.
The next instant Daphne became a blur and the heads of the Ogre Lord and his minions were severed with a clean cut. She then waved her hand and collected the Magic Core of the monsters.
Daphne smiled and went over to Aaric with her hands behind her back.
Aaric cupped her face and gave her a kiss. "Remind me not to piss you off when you have a spear in hand," Aaric said, making Daphne giggle and give him another passionate kiss.
The party saw a door open after the boss was defeated and entered it to find a small town on the other side. They saw their bracelets that had 'First Safe Zone added' written on it.
"It seems we can now enter this safe zone whenever we want," Aaric said.
"Let's have some food there and enjoy ourselves for a bit," Aaric added and led the party to a restaurant area in the safe zone.
"Would you like a private sitting area?" A waiter asked and led them to a curtained room after Aaric nodded.
The three sat in the private room with Luna on Aaric's lap and Daphne being held by Aaric as they fed each other and exchanged stories and jokes.
