Due to the massive haul that Elysia and Shaman brought back the group had decided to leave the dungeon.
"Again thank you so much." Gerald could not stop thanking them.
"It's okay you already said thank you over 20 times." Shaman was ready to snap as it was progressively getting more annoying. They had finally got out of the dungeon and could see that it was around midday.
"Well thank you Gerald and everyone else, it has been a pleasure hunting with you but me and Elysia have some things to do so make sure you stay safe." Shaman gave a small bow and so did Elysia.
"No worries but if anything we should be thanking y-." Jessica was interrupted abruptly by Shaman
"nope, not another word." Shaman stopped Jessica from saying thank you as if she heard another one she was going to hurt someone.
"Anyway, good luck and make sure to spend wisely." With that said Shaman, Wolfy and Elysia vanished using shadow cloak. Shaman picked up Wolfy and Elysia and dashed for the guild house.
The group were confused but did not question it and so they made their way towards the adventurers guild.
"I'm glad I was not being thanked, otherwise I would have lost my patience long ago." Elysia chuckled as she knew that Shaman was close to bursting out.
"As much as I enjoy helping and getting thanked for it, there is a limit to how much I can handle before somebody won't exist." Shaman's mouth twitched in annoyance.
"Well moving on, do you want to go buy some books so we can start reading?" Shaman agreed with Elysia as she was curious if the system will allow her to cheat and just copy and paste it in her head.
"Well, let's sell these 20 cores and use that to buy a ton of books." Shaman was praying that the system would allow her and Elysia to not even spend a second reading.
They arrive at the adventurers guild and hand in their cores. The lady at the desk was a little shocked at the amount as it is not often many people bring that many. After selling them all they got 100 gold for the 20 cores. They also had risen their ranks to D.
"Now that you are D rank Adventurers you can now access more missions and you only need a group of 3 to enter the dungeon."
"Sweet but what rank do you have to be to enter the dungeon alone?" Shaman wanted to ask to see if it was easier to hunt a tier 5 to rank up so that she did not have to bother sneaking in.
"It depends on the dungeon but for this one it is C rank." The woman answered honestly as she knew that the next time She saw them it was probably going to be with tier 5 crystals.
"Thank you and we will see you later." Shaman and Elysia waved goodbye.
Elysia and Shaman then made their way to a bookstore to purchase books so they could at least know the state and history of the world.
"I am not looking forward to all this reading." Elysia was complaining along the way.
"It is okay as long as we own the book, The system should allow us to know everything inside it without us even opening it." Shaman wanted to reassure Elysia and stop her complaining before she taped Elysia's mouth shut.
Elysia's eyes had shone as she was excited to actually get books for once in her life .
They finally arrived at the bookstore and got to buying, Elysia even brought a few recipe books for herself. Shaman had decided to get a few more books about magic as well as history, she thought by getting magic books it would help her learn another element since she noticed that her cap for elements had risen by one when she had evolved.
'I wonder which element I should learn, maybe I should get the first 4 basic elements and go for water next and then earth.' Shaman wanted to learn more advanced elements but thought by having the fundamentals it would make using the advanced elements easier as they are a branch off the base 4.
"Alright that should be everything." Shaman went to the counter with Elysia and payed for the books which was a total of 50 gold. Shaman had winced a little at the amount and felt like she had been shot as spending this much on books was something she never thought she would do.
After paying they stored the books in their inventory and headed back home.
After arriving they laid out all the books on the floor.
"Alright, let's see if it works." Shaman picked up the book about magic and then a system notification rang out.
[Do you want to comprehend the contents of this book]
[Yes/No]
"YES! it works, now Elysia you try." Elysia did what Shaman did and she got the same notification.
"This is amazing." Elysia could not help but let her jaw drop as she did not even open the book and the information was filling her mind.
After spending 30 minutes absorbing the information they felt exhausted and were laying on the floor as they now had a splitting headache from the information and could not take anymore.

"Maybe we should slow down, I feel like my head is going to explode." Shaman had laid next to Elysia and started hugging her as a way to distract her from the pain.
"Let's not do this again, this pain is just too much." They did not realize this would happen and so now are suffering the consequences.
'Maybe I should learn ice instead.' Shaman was now considering getting ice instead as her next element as it was the most needed thing right now.
After laying there for an hour the pain had finally vanished but they were too exhausted so they fell asleep on the floor .
Wolfy had taken place on a few stacks of books and was happily sleeping.

"So Gerald, what are we going to do with all this money?" Max was rather curious since they have never had so much gold before.
"I think we do what Shaman said so let us upgrade our equipment and also enough for us to live a stable life for a bit and we will continue our dungeon runs." Gerald was grateful and he was not going to allow this opportunity to go to waste and since they had become D rank adventurers they no longer needed a group of 5.
"Sounds great and since there are a ton of blacksmiths here I'm sure everyone can find something." Jessica was in a great mood and could not wait to gather some new equipment.

"Sir we have located a group of beast men that are somewhat close to the Fox girls, do we want to do something with them?" A rather young man was in a study talking to someone.
"hmm we will do something with them but not yet, find out their relationship and if they are friends we will act." The man had spun around in his chair with a sinister smile.
"Although I would like to wait if they are close to them, we can use their dead bodies to put the girls in despair and then we can strike." The man spoke o/f his plans and the young man smiled.
"Will do, if they are friends do you want me to murder them right away or report back to you."
"You can murder them and store them in the ring so we can use their bodies." The man reached under his desk and chucked the man the ring.
"you have time so there is no rush but sooner the better." The young man smiled and exited the room.
"Now let's see how you handle this."

It was the middle of the night and Shaman had woken up, she tried to move but was stopped by someone hugging her. Shaman internally sighed as they actually fell asleep on the floor.
'Well not much I can do now, I should probably get me and Elysia in bed.' Shaman then carefully maneuvered and lifted Elysia up.
'I feel like a dad who is putting their child back in bed after they fall asleep in the living room.' After chuckling to herself she put Elysia into bed. Shaman then wandered to the balcony they had.
The moon was full and was illuminating the outside.
'It is very beautiful, I never got this kind of view from my room.' Shaman then started to think about home and how the whole reason she was getting stronger was to go back.
'Do I even want to go back now.' Tears started to form as she was now stuck in a dilemma.
'I have someone I love now and I am having the time of my life so why do I bother to go home.' tears started to fall.
*sniff* "I still have family back home but it is not like they are in trouble, so even if I were to never return they would be okay." *sniff* Shaman continued to cry although she did not want to return home she wanted to let them know she is okay.
"Mum, Dad and little sister please be okay." Shaman spoke these final words out loud and let herself cry for 10 minutes.
Elysia, who had woken up, was watching Shaman cry. Although she wanted to comfort Shaman it did not feel right and so she just let Shaman cry it out. Elysia had also heard what she said and was a little confused by it as it sounded like her parents were somewhere they can never reach. She would not question her further about it and wait for Shaman to tell her.
Shaman had finished and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Shaman then hopped into bed. Elysia who was pretending to sleep then hugged her as all she wanted to do was get rid of all of her problems.
After 10 minutes or so they fell back to sleep.
