In the morning Erin decides to look at all of the ores and dragon materials he got. Thinking about what he could make with these materials, before he could plan any further he realised he needs a workshop to start with.
He gets ready for the day grabs his new items to get analysed while he is looking for a workshop to buy.
Hey pays the three gold to get his staff, cloak and bracelet analysed, while he waits Erin heads out to a realestate agent to find a workshop. Going back to the person he bought the house from, he asked the man to show him the work shops he has available.
The man takes him to one thats fairly small, can only fit two horses and a wagon at most but the price is already at 100 gold. Erin thinks about it before asking "whats the next cheapest you have?"
"Well... this is definitely the cheapest but the next one up is about double the size but is asking for 240 gold." The realestate agent says.
"Hmmm... I'll buy this one then." Erin says handing over 100 gold coins to the man. They finish the paperwork and Erin grabs the keys and excitedly looks around the barren workshop basically just a concrete floor and metal walls.
Erin heads into a nearby shop for industrial equipment and asks to buy all the stuff needed for general crafting and blacksmithing. Costing him an easy 30 gold including installation.
He heads back to the analysis store and picks up his equipment before heading home.
At home he looks through the reports that he recieved.
Black cloak of shadows - D Rank
- Increases speed by 10% in shaded or covered areas.
Dragon staff - B Rank
- Increases magic damage by 50%
- Increases damage to dragons by 50%
- Increases mana by 25%
Storage bracelet - B Rank
- can store physical non-living items that fit into a space of 10 meters cubed.
He puts on the storage bracelet and the cloak, storing his bow and arrows and his staff in the bracelet. He then stores his ores and dragon materials inside it.
Given that its still light out he heads out to the dungeon hoping to make it further through the dungeon, this time he ignores all of the weak creatures as the amount of EXP is not enough for him to really care plus his level is high enough to obliterate everything with ease, its become fairly boring to Erin.
In a matter of an hour he makes it back to the boss room on the 15th floor, he enters it with confidence now that his level has increased, he pulls out his staff from his storage bracelet.
As he sees the dragon ready to launch an attack he again puts up his barrier of light this time easily blocking the magic attack and slightly delaying the dragon's claw attack. The delay was enough to dodge the attack before launching his own mass destruction fire magic but this time he combines it with the few light magic attacking spells. The dragon overwhelmed by the onslaught of magic spells tries to quickly attack Erin but with Erin's increased speed and his ability to cast many spells at the same time, Erin easily able to dodge any attacks and the ones he can't are easily able to be blocked using his light magic.
After a few minutes the dragon falls to the ground dead, leaving behind a pile of dragon resources like before and another golden chest. Erin stores the remaining dragon materials and walks over to the chest.
Opening the chest, he sees a large thick book and a small dainty gold ring with a wing like design on it. He quickly stores them in his bracelet, before continuing on further into the dungeon.
Based in some books he read, dungeons can have many floors, the deepest anyone has gone before is floor 100 in an ancient dungeon. The younger a dungeon is the less floors it has in it, Erin hopes that this dungeon is quite younge and he can make his way to the dungeon core eventually.
On the 16th floor he finds that the number of monsters are fewer but most of them are of S Rank, seeing many Blood Orcs. What he is interested in is a queen Ant who he can tame.
With relative ease along with a slight fight Erin wipes out al monsters in his path, picking up the loot the Blood Orcs drop is usefull as they drop S Rank materials like fangs, hide and bones. Rarely they will drop magic crystals of low quality.
Magic crystals are increadibly rare and F Rank crystals like he is finding only drop from S Rank monsters. Higher rank crystals are only dropped from legendary monsters and only 30 are know to be in circulation around the world.
E Rank magic crystals can be used to make items that surpass S Rank items, but to make S Rank items you just need an F Rank magic crystal.
He spends his time exploring the whole area thoroughly, eventually he finds a small hole in the ground. Using light magic he looks into the hole before seeing a yellowy looking ant monster in the hole slowly digging out at the hole.
Quickly he casts his monster taming spell, pouring all the mana he can into the spell. He spends nearly an hour making the spell as strong as he can.
Eventually the any pokes its head out of the hole, as the spell disapates. Information floods his brain about his new pet.

Its stats and the fact it is an Ant Queen makes this tame impressive but the fact that it doesn't have any good attacking skills makes it disappointing. He says out loud "Your name will be Snow." He feels the mana leave hos body, before seeing new information enter his brain about Snow.
