The Irregular at Magical Worlds

……

The morning before the expedition was about to begin.

A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the dark blue curtains and fell on William, who was still fast asleep in bed.

Because of the expedition today, William skipped his morning training session with Ais and planned to get a good night's sleep.

Once you enter the dungeon, sleeping so comfortably will be something you can only dream of.

"William, wake up."

"Let's pack up, we need to get ready to leave."

A loud knocking sounded at the door, and William struggled to open his drooping eyelids.

"Okay! Wait ten minutes."

William, lying in bed, quickly finished washing up and picked up the long gun that was placed in the corner of the room.

"Hey! William, how did you sleep last night?"

Tiona, beaming with energy, struck up a conversation with William. In fact, she was the one who had woken him up earlier.

In fact, adventurers' lifestyles are very unstable. They usually spend the afternoon making money in the dungeon, then come back at night to indulge in a life of pleasure, and then sleep until noon, repeating the cycle day after day.

That's why the job of having family members responsible for waking people up came about.

"That's good! Has everyone else woken up?"

"Everyone's awake! I was the last one to wake you."

"Thank you so much!"

William clasped his hands in a gesture of thanks to Diona, and his pretentious manner naturally drew laughter from Diona.

The two walked out of William's dormitory and through the long, sloping corridor to the Loki Familia's dining hall.

When they arrived, they were naturally the last ones besides Finn and Loki.

William and Tiona walked to the empty seats that Tione had specially reserved for the two of them and sat down.

The entire cafeteria was clearly full of people, but it seemed completely empty and eerily quiet.

The table was already laden with all sorts of sumptuous food, including roast suckling pig and roast beef leg—all kinds of greasy foods that were not suitable for breakfast.

These were prepared early in the morning by the team members who were not participating in the expedition, so that their families on the expedition could have something good to eat before they left.

After all, monsters are inedible, and there are no animals living in the dungeons, so they survived on wild vegetables and dry rations during their expeditions.

despair!despair!despair!

The sound of leather shoes clattering on the floor grew louder as they approached, and Palum and the goddess appeared one after the other in everyone's view.

Finn remained at the front desk, while Loki went straight to one of the two main seats.

"Gentlemen, the expedition is about to begin again after two months."

"We don't have any other targets this time!"

"That is to explore the unknown territories that have never been seen before, and let the name of the 'Loki Familia' resound throughout the world."

Finn was saying the same things he always did during expeditions, but it was this monotonous speech that always managed to motivate the team members.

"That's all I have to say. Now, let Loki finish the sentence!"

Finn stepped down from the front desk, and Loki, who was usually quite unruly, took his place.

"We don't have that much to say!"

As Loki spoke, his tone and expression became solemn, and his usually slightly narrowed eyes now revealed a deep gaze.

"But I have only one hope, and that is that my children will all come back alive."

Silence fell over the scene; no one could guarantee they would return alive.

The dangers of dungeons are unpredictable. Even a powerful and united clan like the Loki Familia has members who die in monster attacks every year.

"Alright, let's eat!"

"May all my children return safely!"

P.S.: Thank you to Brother Original Sun for the generous donation.

This was sent via mobile phone; I will correct any typos.

I'd also like to know, does everyone keep books as pets?

Ever since I started posting 4000-word chapters, my subscriber count has been skyrocketing and my mental state has been on edge.

Chapter 110 The Expedition Begins [4000 words, please subscribe]

The Loki Familia's preparations this time can be described as thorough. All the weapons have been maintained, and each of the supporters carries a huge backpack as tall as a person, filled with supplies.

They even purchased hundreds of high-quality magic swords from the Hephaestus Familia, spending a staggering 100 million falies on these swords alone.

The abilities of all the team members have been updated to the latest level. It is said that Loki bled so much because of this that he was almost sent back to Heaven.

The grand procession marched along the main road of Adventurer's Street, attracting frequent glances from adventurers and merchants on the road.

"Then it's the same as always, Grace."

"You're in charge of the second regiment! Let's meet on the 18th floor!"

Finn had already done the pre-battle mobilization in the mess hall, so there was no need to do it again.

"I understand, you can leave it to me!"

Grace, holding his giant axe, nodded in agreement. This was the way the Loki Familia always advanced during their expeditions, so Finn didn't need to say anything more.

The reason for proceeding separately is also due to the unique structure of the dungeon.

The basic principle behind the size of underground cities is that the deeper you go, the larger the area of ​​each floor becomes.

The tunnel, which is only two meters wide on the first level, becomes five meters wide on the fifth level.

Therefore, large groups like the Loki Familia, which consist of dozens of people on each expedition, usually choose to split into two or three teams, quickly pass through the upper levels that pose no danger to them, reach the 18th floor, and then reunite to continue.

After all, if so many people were walking together in a narrow tunnel, at that pace of people moving in close proximity, it would be considered fast if they could reach the 18th floor in half a day.

"Then let's set off first!"

Finn nodded and waved.

The group members followed behind the short Finn and rushed into the dungeon at a very fast speed.

Almost all the members of the Loki Familia following Finn were high-level adventurers of level 4 or above. In short, apart from Grace, all the level 1 adventurers of the Loki Familia were among them.

The second group, including William, Lefia, and Alicia, generally had members of lower-ranking clans and were also responsible for transporting supplies. The members who went ahead needed to clear unnecessary obstacles for them.

I waited for about half an hour!

"Alright! Let's go!"

Grace swung her free left hand forward.

The remaining members of the Loki Familia also began to advance into the intricate cave labyrinth in an orderly manner, and the speed of the group's progress could be described as quite fast in William's eyes.

After all, there were still so many mages with poor stamina and supplies loaded onto carts, so their speed was already more than half that of William.

Of course, this was also thanks to the group members who were clearing out the monsters as they moved forward.

This meant they were rarely attacked by monsters as they advanced, since monsters take time to regenerate.

"Kid, you don't need to make a move yet!"

"Let's conserve our energy and prepare for the big battle the day after tomorrow!"

Grace swung his giant axe, cleaving an orc in half at the waist, and spoke to William, who was holding his spear horizontally.

"I'm really looking forward to your battle tomorrow!"

"I see!"

William, who was clearing the way with Grace, smiled and put away his spear. Since Grace had already said so, he was willing to be a freeloader.

Anyway, killing these monsters is of no use to him anymore, and he doesn't even care about the magic stones on his fingernails.

"William, what are we going to do the day after tomorrow?"

With her keen hearing, Alicia overheard their conversation and took a few extra steps from the middle of the group to get behind them.

"This kid wants to take on Udayos one-on-one!"

Grace untied the wine pouch from his waist and took a gulp.

For dwarves, drinking during battle doesn't numb their senses; on the contrary, it acts as a stimulant that enhances their fighting power. That's why Grace always brings two wine sacs with him when he goes to the dungeon.

"Udayos!"

Alicia's bright, watery eyes were filled with shock.

The group marched through the room of the most miserable floor master, "Goliath." William was now very doubtful whether Goliath could actually survive for more than half an hour each time he was resurrected.

"Grace, you've finally arrived!"

Finn, who had been waiting at the entrance to the nineteenth floor, jumped down from the tree trunk where he had been standing and greeted the crowd.

"Yeah yeah!"

"I'm so impatient, my bones are itching to get out!"

Tiona also swung her large twin blades, "Ulga," quite fittingly. This was a massive weapon crafted from countless rare materials, and it was said that the crafting alone cost 100 million falies.

The weapon, made of so much metal, was naturally incredibly heavy, yet in her hands it felt weightless, as if it were her own arm.

"Stop talking nonsense! How fast do you think the supply trucks can move?"

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's not rest any longer."

"Continue forward for three more disappearing moments, then set up camp on the 24th floor for today!"

According to Finn's calculations, the plan is to go straight to the 24th floor today and rest for one night.

On the second day, continue to sprint to 12 more floors, and after reaching the deepest level, maintain a speed of advancing 5 floors per day to move downwards.
