Without fearing the bosses, the other parties did their job pretty well and fast, but they were looking at Jake's group with some weird eyes. It was only natural since it looked like the dungeon's entrance had been hit by a meteor. The mission was about to end…
"It seems we will return home without clearing the dungeon soon," Lana said.
"What are you going to do, Jake?" Louise asked.
"Frederick said that I am getting close to the first group that completed the tutorial, so I guess I will be getting close to the criminals as well," Jake replied. "I have some… debts to pay them, and I won't rest until I pay it in full."
"So bloodthirsty…" Lana said while frowning.
"The guild master is also asking everyone to hurry up because we lack in strength, and he believes that we are getting close to them as well," Karina said. "We will probably be going to meet soon enough."
"If you say so," Jake said. "Hey, kid, if you want to avenge your friends, then you shouldn't take your time catching up. Otherwise, I wipe out all those assholes myself."
"Right… I will make sure to make great use of what I learned today," Julian said.
Such an earnest kid… Jake wondered what he had learned that day. He didn't call any important lesson. Regardless, Julian had three people watching his back, so he probably won't make anything stupid.
"Take care, Jake," Louise said while smiling. "Don't drop your guard since you are probably their main target."
"I never do," Jake said, and then the mission was completed, and they were teleported back to their starting points.
Jake sighed, but then his mood improved since the temperature in his base was a lot better than in the other world in, which looked like it had an endless snowstorm. Regardless, Jake's mood was going to improve a lot more.

Jake frowned when he received his last reward… was that a coincidence? In any case, the cost to summon one was quite high, and Jake also wasn't a fan of summons since they were basically magic as well. Still, the chance of having an army of monsters was pretty much appealing.
"Well, let's think about this later…" Jake said and then headed to his garden of magic herbs.
The wound in Jake's chest wasn't hurting when he was getting down to gather the leaves, but he got dizzy sometimes. As expected, he should take a few days off after fighting the baldie, but his pride wouldn't allow him to do that… rest because of a wound caused by an asshole… that would be too much. In fact, Jake was planning to move to the next mission the very next day. Fighting small fries shouldn't be a problem, even less so if Jake focuses on using his dark flames.
Once Jake finished his job, he quickly whipped out a meal for him. A large one since it was only noon and he was planning to sleep the next day. He then recalled that he had planned to use his magic herbs as seasonings when he had enough, and he tried to use the blue angels. Since that one was a bit bitter, Jake felt that it would go well with fish, but he didn't have any. Still, the flavor of the meat got a lot better.
"Well, it is only natural since I like bitter things…" Jake thought. "Since the red angels are sweet, I guess they could become great as cream… Why am I thinking about food now?"
It wasn't like he had cooking as a hobby, so Jake couldn't help but frown. In any case, Jake ate until he felt that he ate a bit too much and then went to sleep. Perhaps that was a good idea, but he was too relaxed to care.
----------
A group of people was starting to appear in a certain world at a certain underground base. Their numbers were high, but they all looked like experienced warriors. Those who appeared took their seats in front of a round table. In one of these seats, Frederick and Milena were, and they didn't look too happy about it, considering that they were the ones who called the meeting.
"Assholes… Always making us wait to try to look cool," Milena said.
"At least lower your voice when you call them names…" Frederick said and then sighed.
The other people sitting were other guild masters. They were also part of the first group of humans that completed the tutorial. They made their own guilds, but unlike people like Frederick and Milena, who made their bases on the first few worlds to help the newbies, they moved their bases as soon as they found new worlds. They were as much a battle junkie as Jake, perhaps even more. Frederick wondered why none of them ever tried to invite him to their ranks.
After a while, the last guild master arrived. He was a man wearing a full plate of dark armor, and he also dark a great dark sword. Frederick always felt like asking If he thought that so much darkness would make him more ominous or something. In any case, the man truly looked like a battle-hardened warrior since he had some scars on his face and he had shaved his head.
"Shall we start?" The dark armored men asked.
