As we talked about the history of this world, we inspected Floor 10. It was enormous, spacious, and more importantly. Completely empty. We walked across it all, it seemed hopeless to find anything. The worst part was that there weren't any hidden monsters waiting for us, or some other boss or something. Apparently killing Pereza really made things worse in EXP wise, as we cannot get any longer these juicy and powerful squiddy parasite monsters that granted such a tasty amount of EXP. This is quite sad to the point I might even cry (joking).

"Woah, this place is truly completely empty. I guess we should walk back to the surface?" Wondered Sol. "I feel like I could make this my hideout or something seeing how empty and calm this place of the dungeon is though…" Sol wondered with a smile.

"Yeah, it wasn't like this some hours ago. Yesterday we had an arduous fight against a Demon Lord that had infiltered the city and was growing stronger by taking over the dungeon here. She was named Pereza, the Demon Lord of Sloth." I said.

"Sins for Demon Lords? And one just showed up here?!" Asked Sol. "That kid of reminds me of the Realm Menaces back in Genesis."

"Yeah, I am the Realm Menace of Lust by the way, haha." I laughed.

"EH?! Lust?" He asked in shock. "S-So you were such a being…"

"Anyways, let's go back for now, we don't have much to do here. I doubt you care about the tale of how we defeated a giant mass of flesh with Elfina, Fiere, and Luminous." I giggled.

"Y-You did that? I didn't knew Elfina could fight, she looks so weak…" Said Sol.

"Excuse me?! Are you looking down at our summoner, Sol? She might be a little and cowardly elf girl that is a bit too conceited by her maid and her family, but she got a heart of gold." I said. "I've grown to know her better and better over our misadventures, also when I give her Black and White, she fights pretty well."

"I see… You mean those magic weapons you can summon? I also can summon mine I guess…" Said Sol while summoning his Blazing Sword named "Helios". It was a beautiful gold, orange, and red sword with wondrous decorations and a bright red ruby incrusted in the handle. It wasn't an Ego though, as it didn't spoke and seemed to be simply an automated magic weapon, nothing with a soul. Nonetheless, it was pretty much Phantasmal Grade at most, so it was already in the Realm of Divine Weapons.

"Yeah, yours is pretty cool, not going to lie. The tiger here is also an equipment that can transform, he's named Aquamarine." I said.

"Meow!" Aquamarine greeted Sol, he had been fighting with us for a while but Sol had ignored him all this time. Maybe he thought he was just a tamed monster.

"W-Wait, that's not just a tamed monster?!" He asked in disbelief. Yep, I knew it.

"Hahaha, no, he's a Necklace, actually." I said, as Aquamarine turned into a mass of water and then flew over my body, turning into a gorgeous pendant with several sapphires and beautiful decorations.

"Woow… I had never seen weapons capable of doing such things before. Your weapons are not only independent but they can do so many things other weapons would never do!" Said Sol.

"Hehh~ You like weapons and stuff like that, huh? I thought you disliked wars!" I laughed.

"W-well, I do but still… Weapons and equipment of magic quality, of higher ranks, and their abilities and all… I've always been a fanatic of magic items since I was a kid. My actual dream was to either become a farmer or a blacksmith of magic items." Said Sol.

"Hahaha, you really got a ton of dreams." I laughed a bit more at Sol's words. I couldn't help but find like he was really chill.

"Y-Yeah…" He said while feeling embarrassed.

"Anyways, let's go back for now, there's nothing to do here anyways." I said while rolling upstairs.

"Yeah, let's." Said Sol.

However, Aquamarine suddenly stopped me.

"Wait! Mama, look down there, can't you feel the presence of something in the floor? I feel something weird in the floor down there! Maybe you can open it?" Aquamarine pointed out to the room floor, as I looked at it curiously.

"Are you sure, Aquamarine?" I asked, rolling back to the room of the Floor 10, and inspecting it in detail. "Can you guide me there?"

"Sure mama!" Aquamarine quickly began to guide me through the floor, as Sol was watching in silence and slightly curious.

"What's going on? Where are you going?" He wondered.

"Apparently Aquamarine felt something down there… want to see what it is." I said with a slight nod, as I inspected the surroundings and everything else there was in there. We moved across the room swiftly and fast. I was able to easily roll my way through with [Roll] but I also had insect legs, so I used them to crawl over the walls and even got into the ceiling. Aquamarine was detecting certain spots, but when we reached them, he quickly gave up on them saying "Not enough".

"Not enough…" He said.

"Aquamarine what are you trying to tell me? Is there some secret or not?" I wondered.

"I-I can feel it! But I don't really know where it is… It is a bit complicated." Said Aquamarine. "But it really feels similar to us."

"To "us"?" I asked.

"Wow, now that I feel it, it does indeed feels similar." Said Black.

"Y-Yeah, I can also feel it now…" Said White.

"What's going on?" I wondered.

"An Ego! That was the name! I almost forgot…" Said Aquamarine innocently.

"Ego?! Here?" I asked in shock. "No way, you're kidding, right? That's not something that can be found just anywhere…"

"No, I am pretty sure there is one right here, we have to find it." Said White.

"I also feel it, keep looking!" Black said.

An Ego in this dungeon… What are the odds?
