The party ended on a high note as most parties involving debauchery would, leaving everyone with a smile on their faces as they returned to their homes.

After the party Yunan, Ophelia and Kitty were on cleaning duty while Sarah was in her own world thinking what she would say to Yunan about the fact that he brought her, although he did introduce her as a slave he has not made any demand or even voiced an opinion about it and that fact alone; that he was not concerned at all about any of it, made her stress levels go higher and higher to the point she did not notice the three running about and taking care of what needed to be done.

Later that night when she asked Yunan who was about to sleep he stated with a tone that made his statement feel like the obvious truth " you seem to have misunderstood my intention, I did not buy you to be my slave, I bought you to get you out of that situation, I have a good impression of you and I felt like it was the right thing to help you, as for you being my slave that is completely up to you, you are welcome here in whatever capacity you feel is appropriate for you, just like Ophelia and Kitty, they have chosen how to join this family and you have your choice too, anyway, why are you not naked in my bed? As long as you see yourself as my slave you should help me warm my bed, just like cute Kitty here" Yunan put his arms around Kitty and they snuggled up closely to prepare for some sleep.

Sarah found herself undressing and joining the two under the cover sheet, she wrapped her arms around both of them and said with a soft whisper "as long as I see myself as your slave I can call you master too?", "you can call me whatever you want, it is your choice after all" the response was far from what she wanted to hear, but knowing that for this moment and as long as she wanted she can be his slave, his wife, his concubine or even his pet, as long as she made her choice she can whatever she wanted to be, and that thought made her smile beautifully.

After a few days of rest, Yunan was ready to step into the 40th floor so he went to defeat the humanoid water drake once again, this time it took only one punch to turn the boss into paste, Yunan did not feel that he exerted too much strength and the outcome was too striking for his liking, he always liked to understand his own strength and currently there was a very large gap between his understanding and actual power.

Yunan did not spend too much time mulling over the issue and headed straight to the 40th-floor stairway. After stepping into the 40th floor he saw a small city surrounding the stairway, the stairway ended on a platform on top of a tree, and the city was built between the branches of the giant trees that filled this place, this base was completely built on treetops and tree branches.

The wooden city was nothing but simple and elegant, the houses were cosy and warm and gave a sense of serenity and peace, the guild's branch building was the first building one notices, there Yunan made the registration and asked about housing, even of Yunan did not need it he still thought that having a place where he can meet outsiders was never a bad idea, even if his portable home was common knowledge he still felt like he should not bring outsiders there unless he had a good reason for it.

Yunan was told that housing in this area os free of charge, one just has to register the place he is thinking about using so that newcomers would not occupy another's residence by mistake. After dealing with the formalities, Yunan ended up choosing a block of 4 units for him and his three residents, although the guild employee was rather sceptical about the abilities of Sarah, Ophelia and Kitty, it was not strange for people who reached this place to bring their own servants and slaves to keep them company since almost all of the adventurers beyond level 20 stay inside the dungeon, and it is more so for those beyond level 40, thanks to the increased life spans most of them only returns to the 20th floor to pick up new servants when the ones they have, had grown old.

Before Yunan left, however, he was stopped by the guild employee to recommend a mercenary mission. The 40th floor and lower were mostly land masses and therefore there were more likely to have mercenary missions. This mission, however, came with a recommended mercenary, the one who made the mission, added a clause to the mission that if Yunan was to make it to the 40th floor the guild must show him the quest and give him the chance to participate.

Yunan found it odd because he never heard about such a thing, the guild employee told him it was rather small community beyond the 40th floor and being outstanding gives one the qualifications to be preferable mercenary to accomplish a quest, according to the employee, many quests that do not have such preferred adventurers go on for years with much attention.

The quest Yunan got this time was rather strange, it talked about finding a small rat-like beast that is found in the next section of the dungeon, these beasts are fragile and their flesh turns toxic if they are startled before death, the creature would commit suicide upon capture and its fur was a must have for female adventurers, the quest requi8 Yunan to capture a living one and showcase it without it dying or killing itself, well it was basically asking for him to tame the beast and show it off and said nothing about giving the tame beast to the one who made the quest.

Yunan accepted the quest before heading to the units he chose for residence to take a look and have a look at the area around it, then he returned home to prepare for the next phase of exploring Tartarus.
