Delayed Transfer

Everyone was gathered in the center of the RVs where the table and chairs were set up. Mark prepared a lot of food for everyone for lunch. Albert was very loud about his appreciation of Yoda the Void Dragon.

“Yoda is the most beautiful creature in the whole universe! I want to fly around the world on top of him!” Albert said loudly to everyone.

“He’s our dragon but we do plan to fly around the world on top of him someday and we can invite you!” Isaac said to his new friend.

“Yoda is not your dragon, he’s Mark’s,” Albert protested.

“Everything Mark’s is ours since he’s our brother!” Aaron replied.

“I understand but the problem is, usually summons can’t get too far away from the one who summoned them so if the three of us are going to travel around the world, we can’t use Yoda since he will need to stay with Mark,” Albert said.

Everyone was amused at the kids’ discussion about Yoda and they all just listened to the children while they were eating lunch.

The twins looked troubled and suddenly Isaac reacted.

“That’s not a problem! We just have to bring Mark and I guess Liriel, with us then!”

Everyone laughed at Isaac’s solution.

“That’s not a solution! Mark will be too old by then! Do you really want to bring a doddering old man to our adventures?” Albert said trying to look wise.

“Hey!” Mark protested.

Sam laughed so hard that he was holding his stomach. The others were laughing as well but not as hard as Mark’s best friend.

”Albert does have a point. Yoda is magnificent. Flying up in the sky on top of a dragon is really romantic,” Danielle said who was hugging her husband.

Robert hugged his wife back and the couple became lovey-dovey.

“Eew, Dad! Mom! Not here!” Albert protested.

After lunch, Mark, together with everyone from Earth would go to Narcone to go to the Novice Dungeon there so his friends could acquire a profession. He wondered if they would be able to since according to the elven sisters, not everyone was blessed with the ability to acquire a profession. Mentorra specifically mentioned that only ten percent of a city’s population would be able to acquire a profession from the dungeon.

Mark, of course, informed Hamil of their intention to go to Narcone and the circus leader already informed the guards so they would be aware that the Warp Gate would be activated beyond the scheduled activation hours.

Lorendo told him that at first the officials who were handling the Warp Gate business on Narcone’s side protested at the unscheduled Warp Gate activation but when Hamil informed them that the gate would be activated by the archmage that made the Warp Gate to bring his friends to the beginner dungeon, they acquiesced immediately.

Everyone went to their RVs to equip the weapons and armor that Mark had given them before. Mark even gave Blake a set of what he called a mage armor set which consisted of a mage robe, leather shoes, leather pants, mage hat, and a rare blue wand that he had gotten from the boss of the twentieth floor that could cast magic missiles. It had forty charges and would earn one charge per ten minutes.

After a few minutes, everyone came out of their RVs looking like adventurers. The twins were looking at Albert enviously and kept asking Mark if they wanted to get their jobs from the dungeon as well. Mark had to keep repeating to the boys that when they reached Albert’s age, they would be allowed to get their profession.

When Mark was about to activate the Warp Gate located beside the table in the center of their group of RVs, Liriel suddenly ran towards him and asked to be held. He thought that Liriel was just going to hug him goodbye but when he picked her up, the little girl was not letting go and when he tried to force her, the girl cried so despairingly that Mark wanted to immediately give her an Oscar trophy. The women in the group began glaring at him so with a sigh, Mark told Lisa that he would be bringing Liriel and the twins with him.

The twins cheered when they heard that they would be allowed to accompany them in the dungeon. Mark thought that there shouldn’t be any problem since it was just a Novice Dungeon and the boys already experienced dungeon diving before.

When the Warp Gate was activated, all of them entered and everyone saw the city of Narcone in the distance. Since the guards expected them, they didn’t react too much.

They walked to Narcone’s gate and Mark paid the entrance tax. Their group didn’t garner any attention since they were all dressed as typical adventurers.

When they reached the Novice Dungeon, many adventurers were lining up the booth to pay for the dungeon entrance and when it was their turn, Mark paid the cost for their whole group to enter.

Their group was large but since it was an instance dungeon they would be alone inside. Also, they actually didn’t plan to dive but to acquire a profession. Mark was still carrying Liriel in his arms which was not that bothersome since the little girl was so light.

The first floor of the Novice Dungeon was just like the first floor of his original dungeon which was a cave. Mark then told everyone to touch the walls of the dungeon, and then they could select their profession so everyone did.

Mark knew that everyone would take time selecting their professions since all of his friends were theory crafters when it comes to selecting jobs when they played MMORPGs and this time, they would undoubtedly be much more careful since everyone knew that this was not a game. They needed to carefully select which one they would choose. He knew that everyone actually talked about which profession they would choose already and had already confirmed their choices but Mark knew that when it was time, they wouldn’t be able to help themselves in checking out the options available to them.

Mark cast his Space Floating Disk and retrieved a comfortable sofa from his inventory. Then he, the twins, and Liriel waited comfortably seated on the sofa.

After around twenty minutes, it was Albert who finished choosing first. When he turned around, the kid saw Mark, the twins, and Liriel floating on top of a magical disk seated on a sofa. Since Mark controlled the disk to float just a couple of feet from the ground, Albert easily climbed it and sat beside the twins.

“There’s so many choices! The options were Wizard, Healer, Paladin, Bard, and weird ones like Starlight Mage and Plant Sorcerer which from what I’ve read was like a druid that concentrated on casting spells instead of summoning or shapeshifting. I of course chose to be a Wizard. It said that I’m level one has three slots for level one spells. If it’s the same as in DnD that means I can only cast three spells for now. Where can I buy a spellbook?” Albert said.

“We can buy spellbooks here in the city. You also don’t need to worry about leveling up since I can still give you a weapon that will let you cast spells.”

Mark wasn’t worried about providing weapons and armor to his friend since he did manage to collect a huge amount of them from his dungeon before the dungeon disappeared. Even now, he was still collecting items every week from the bosses' rooms.
