Delayed Transfer

Mark took all the loot from the recent group of enemies and held off in Identifying the items.  He proceeded to continue with killing all the mobs that he could find on the 14th floor.  The monsters were still the same on the 13th floor.  A mixture of Giant Scorpion, desert Lizard Folks that consisted of melee, archer and magic user, desert Worms and desert Vulture with their elite counter part.  The only difference was the desert Vulture.

Mark completed the 14th floor late in the afternoon.  He went to the 11th floor to tally his earnings.  The new item that he got was a Magic Blue leather satchel which was considered as an accessory by the Interface.  It had a Storage Space of two cubic meters so that means he could allow Donald to keep the Storage Ring and not brought it back on their next group dungeon dive.  The next new item was a Magic Blue Cloth Shoes that added ten to Intelligence with 25 durability.  The good thing about the shoes was it has the skill Levitation with 10 Charges that earned one charge every 10 minutes.  It will allow the wearer to cast Levitation that will last for three minutes.  The rest were just a bit of an upgrade to what he was currently wearing like adding one more to its additional stats or more durability so he kept the upgrades and destroyed the rest. 

Mark leveled up from level 52 to level 55 so a few more levels, he would have brand new skills.  The total stat points that he had earned was nine and the total skill points was 28.  He decided to add one point to Strength, Vitality, Dexterity and Agility and made them an even 15 increasing his HP to 450.  He then added five points to Intelligence bringing it up to 40 from35 and bringing up the damage multiplier of his spells to eight.

When Mark was done, he went up to meet with his gang and ate some dinner and the good thing was, everybody was at home.  Sam said that he brought the equipment and Mark immediately took them to his room, destroyed the previous copies that he made and Replicated new copies of the laptops and hard drives.  There were four laptops now and four hard drives.  Mark returned the original devices to Sam and said to continue the project.  He also sent a million dollars to Sam to manage the company and advised him that this personal project was really important to him.

While everybody was eating dinner, Mark told the gang that he managed to get two new items, the magic blue leather satchel and the magic blue cloth shoes and he shared the parameters to everyone.  The gang decided that Mark would be the one using the leather satchel since he was not doing anything on the group dungeon dive, just supervising everyone so he would be their porter.  Mark just shrugged and agreed.

After dinner, everyone decided to try out the magic cloth shoes at the back and everyone got a hoot in experiencing levitation.  Enleed and Armina got into an argument on whom should be using the shoes since both of them were long range and will benefit in having the height to hit enemies.  Mark reminded them that the height would also make them a clear target for long range or flying monster and Armina and Enleed said that their armor’s defense and Donald’s healing would be enough to alleviate any damage they may received.

Armina and Enleed decided that the winner of rock, paper and scissors would have the shoes, and unfortunately for Armina, Enleed won.  Armina shrugged and said that it was only fitting that the first one to fly should be a wizard.  Enleed took the shoes and immediately wore it.  He said that he would never remove it anymore even during sex.  Armina slapped him at the back of his head and everybody laughed.

The next day, Mark continued working on his villa and after a couple more hours, he was amazed at himself at his progress and thought that magic would bring construction revolution if it became normal to have magic in the real world.  Mark though that once he finished his Villa, he would probably start putting points on Rune Engineer so he could study on how to incorporate runes to his house so it would become truly magical.  He was really tempted to put his points then and there but he thought that he really should wait until he’s level 60.

As planned, Mark headed to the 15th floor after he was done working on his house in the 11th floor.  Upon arrival, he saw some changes.  It was still desert but now instead of sand dunes, it consisted of rocky ground more.  He could still see the shifting dunes in the distance but this place looked more desolate.  The land looked desiccated as if you would not find any drop of water anywhere and he felt thirsty just looking at the surroundings.

Mark tried to walk but the heat of the ground and the uneven footings made it very hard so he decided to cast Levitate.  He was really hoping that one of the level 60 spells would be a flight spells since he really couldn’t wait to soar in the sky like a superhero.  He also thought that the 15 physical stats were enough for him to traverse the air without any problem.

In the distance, Mark saw a mini dust storm coming in and when it was near enough, he saw that it was a group of five lizard men riding sand crocodiles.  When they saw him floating, they sped up as if excited to see a prey they were hunting.

Mark cast Glacial Void and Swamp of Briar to slow and damage the monster and it did.  After that he refreshed his Floating Sunflower and Bed of Daisies, he continued casting Void Chain Lightning, Void Storm, Void Tsunami and Abyssal Thorn on the enemies until all of them were dead.  Mark got a familiar feeling of mowing the monsters down just like in Diablo 3.
