"Mmm... Aaahhh," Queenie moaned deeply as Klaus released his load in her for the seventh time. They had been at it for hours now.
After they discussed Klaus's decision to leave, he returned to pleasuring his new wife, who eagerly wanted more of the feeling.
Klaus, who was just as eager, left his mark. In the end, they were both thoroughly satisfied. Klaus pulled out his dragon.
Queenie helped him clean it, and then they went to take a bath together before returning to sleep. Since he promised to leave in two days, Queenie wanted him fit to drain him even more before his descent.
Four hours later, they woke up in each other's arms.
Queenie immediately asked for another round, which Klaus gladly accepted. Afterwards, she lay on his chest, looking utterly harmless when, in fact, she was the most terrifying of them all.
"So, can you tell me more about this dungeon you'll send me to?" Klaus asked.
After his four ladies kicked him out of the discussion, they decided what Klaus should do before leaving and where he should go.
Naturally, Queenie took charge since she held the highest authority on Earth.
She planned to send him to a dungeon—the sole dungeon on Earth, or at least that's what they were calling it: The Ancient Ruin Dungeon.
"It's a dungeon we found when an underground ruin was discovered about two years ago. We've been studying it ever since, but from what we've uncovered, it's much more complex than anything we've encountered.
After we discovered it, I cleared the first 30 floors, which is why we decided to call it a dungeon. Bear in mind that the first 30 floors weren't easy. Of course, it was easy for me.
But when I say it's not easy, I mean it wouldn't be easy for a Grandmaster, Saint, Sage, or even a Great Sage."
Klaus nodded. The fact that the strongest person on Earth was saying the first thirty floors wouldn't be easy made him want to go even more.
"The first thirty floors are about killing monsters and beasts within a given time frame. If you fail to meet the duration, it will reset, and you'll face even more monsters.
However, it's not something you should be worried about. Even if you die inside, you'll be teleported outside. It's a complex dungeon.
In fact, it's where we learn how to create our arenas so that those who die inside won't die permanently. However, they can only stop on the first 30th floors.
After the first 30th, only those at the Sage stage and below can climb to the 31st floor. In fact, it's not an exaggeration to say that the dungeon is designed for those below the Great Sage stage."
"I see. Then, has anyone ever climbed to the 31st level?" Klaus asked.
"No. The dungeon is very weird."
"After two years of studying it, we figured out some rules within it. First, a team of ten or more can start climbing. But the team will have to divide into two after the tenth floor. Then, after the twentieth floor, the team must divide again.
However, only one person can proceed when you get to the 30th floor.
Nobody has been able to get to the 31st floor because nobody, aside from me, the other overlords, and those at the Sovereign stage and above, has managed to get past the 30th floor.
The strength level of the monster at the 30th level is at the Sovereign stage. So naturally, none below that stage manage to pass, and to get to the 31st floor, one must be a Sage or above."
"The dungeon is weird indeed. I guess I'll have a lot of fun there then," Klaus smiled. Now that this buff had come, he knew he could battle Sovereigns and Transcendents.
"You would have to be careful, though. The dungeon, as I said, is very weird. However, it's very rewarding. I am sure by the time you finish clearing the first ten floors, you will become a Saint.
However, you shouldn't slack off. While you wouldn't permanently die, the experience is also not pleasant."
"Don't worry, I will be very careful." Klaus kneaded on her melons, making her moan softly.
"But do you know the number of floors that are after the 30th floor?"
"According to one of the best Runic Archmages we have, it has 30 floors and also a portal of some kind."
"Yes. From what we know, the dungeon is the gateway to this ancient ruin. We managed to explore most of it, but nothing concrete aside from the dungeon was found.
Because of this, we all think the dungeon may be a gateway into this ruin. Of course, whether we are right or wrong will all depend on whether the dungeon can be cleared entirely."
"Then I will have to do my best and clear all the floors. If there is an ancient ruin, we should explore it." Klaus was pumped for this.
Since he planned to be gone for a while, he knew he needed an objective that would justify staying away from the academy for some time.
This sounded like exactly what he needed.
Unfortunately for him, while the academy's information was accurate in some regards, the dungeon was indeed something far more valuable.
In fact, it was incredibly valuable—but only to one person who had prepared for this moment many years ago.
They say that when calamity is near, the heavens will smile upon the faces of those filled with despair, for they choose to house a paragon.
But then, the stars will intervene and smile back at the heavens, for the one whom the heavens fear most had foreseen this moment and prepared for it.
"Klaus, can you tell me something? Of course, you can choose not to answer." Queenie raised her head and looked deep into Klaus's eyes.
She wanted to say something about her dreams, but since their time was spent having fun, she waited. In fact, she wasn't sure if she should say anything, fearing Klaus would see her as a lunatic.
Talking about one's past life is rather an awkward conversation to have. The idea of remembering one's past is not something normal.
But she needed to ask.
"Do you believe in past lives? Do you believe in reincarnation?" she asked, looking to see if Klaus would show any shocked expression. But he didn't, for he expected this question and had prepared for it.
Talking about past selves is tricky, especially if the two people aren't related in the past life.
But she and Klaus were, and due to that, he could talk to her about it. Yet, for some reason, he didn't want to. Perhaps he was still traumatized by the one-sided beating she had given him when they first met in the past.
But he could see the expectancy in her eyes, and for that, Klaus chose to say something.
"As to whether I believe in reincarnation or not, I don't really know. But if there is indeed a past where I lived, I don't know whether I want to remember it.
In fact, I once had a dream where my ass was handed to me by a certain redhead."
Queenie's body stiffened, making Klaus flash her a cute smile.
