It was already night by the time I had reached the entrance near the dungeon, bright lights lit up near the opening of the dungeon and adventurer's going out of the dungeon, others going into the dungeon.
As soon as I stepped on the surface outside the dungeon, a muted 'ding' went off in my mind. But ignoring that, I made way to the guild counter in the Tower of Babel to exchange the magic stones and drop items from the first floor only.
I think my luck finally turned because they said that two of the drop item were rare mutated goblin fangs worth double it's price, the total coming to almost 5000 valis. The mutated goblin fangs were about 3000 valis of the total. It was already a huge amount for a first time expedition in the dungeon.
---------------------------------
...
After leaving the guild counter, I immediately put the money into my pocket and from there into my inventory, and headed home.
As soon as I left the Tower of Babel, the streets came into view, the same streets which were filled with some people in the morning were now empty, except for one or two lone people or a group of adventurers making their way back from their dungeon excursions. Even the shops facing the main read were closed.
The reason for this was none other than the Evilus, a group of radical Familia's led by Gods claiming to be evil. Although the Loki and the Freya Familia had defeated the Apate and Alecto Familia's, the main leaders of the Evilus, the Evilus was still rampant in Orario.
At the same time, the Astraea Familia along with others defeated Zald and Alfia, remnants of the Zeus and Hera Familia respectively who also caused great chaos in Orario.
Zald and Alfia after their familia's exile from Orario went missing and were seen with the god Erebus and caused great chaos, prompting the Astraea Familia to fight against them, the result being Zald and Alfia dying and the god Erebus being sent back to heaven by Astraea.
But there were still more Familia's part of Evilus who bolstered by these two events back to back, and random cases now and them making normal people unable to step out at night.
Anyway leaving all of that aside, I reached my home safely, which was around an hour or two hours from the dungeon, in the opposite direction of the Stardust Garden, the home of the Astraea Familia, they are something similar to, ah according to the earth memories, the police of Orario, they are first to get involved if anything unwanted happens in Orario.
The Evilus no matter how strong would not directly be active in the area where the bigger familia's are located, like the Astraea, Freya or the Loki Familia, and would instead be active around the Daedalus Street, where there is no law and order or in other areas in the shade of the night.
...
After cooking the dinner and polishing everything clean, I sat down on the sofa once again while waiting for the dinner I just had to be digested, I brought up the system once more, to check the notification I had gotten while I was leaving the dungeon.
[ Ding, Skill Trait Maker successfully activated, due to first time activation of skill, a 100% chance of getting unique skills.
Generating Traits....
Success.....
Skill: Anomaly (False) obtained...
Skill: Miracle Maker obtained...]
Clicking on the skills, another window popped up explaining the skill in detail.
[Anomaly (False): No rules hold sway over you. / Not bound by any rules, can do anything you want.
Passive Skill]
[Miracle Maker: If you wish for something with enough desperation, it may come true. / Sometimes in life, miracles do occur.
Skill is both passive and active.]
Both skills had two parts explanation or it as if like they can be activated in two different cases.
Also, I was not sure about the passive skill anomaly, and about the rules it mentioned, but the miracle maker skill was enough to me feel as if all my hard work for the entire day today was worth it, after all, this is almost like a broken skill which can elevate me into a cheat level character over time.
After staring at the miracle maker skill like an idiot for 10 minutes straight, with a huge grin on my face, I closed the virtual screen and went to a spare bedroom on the second floor, which was repurposed by my sister, into a library before she left.
After all no matter how strong I had become, I needed to know more information about Orario and the world at large.
...
After searching around for some time, I finally found a book which explained in detail about the Dungeon City Orario.
The reason for me picking this book was simple, after my memories from earth had awakened today I found out that although it had been about 16 years and I had been born and brought up here, I knew nothing in detail about the city known as Orario. All I knew was it had a dungeon, had the most number of gods in Gekai, and also the strongest of the adventures were also in Orario and some knowledge about adventurers and the dungeon from the basic adventurer course which I had been made to forcibly sign up to.
After the new memories, there were a lot more questions in my head? What is the dungeon? Why did the gods come down to Gekai? Why provide falna? And many more.
And so I had to go through the books or get information and get to know in more detail about my doubts.
After taking the book and going to my room with the mindset of reading the entire book before seeping, I sadly fell asleep just after going through a few pages.
The open page of the book showing the reason for the gods coming down to Gekai.
'The gods, unchanging and eternal, became bored of the monotonous life in Tenkai, and in search of excitement sealed their divine powers "the arcanum" and came down to the mortal world "Gekai" to experience the excitement and pleasures of the mortal world.'
And at the bottom of the page, in a small finer writing was :
'But also be wary of the gods, for they are eternal and unchanging, they only seek excitement, we mortal are nothing but means to provide them with their excitement, especially to the myriad of gods/ goddesses present in Orario, all except a few of them seek nothing but their own excitement.'
'And, next about the Dungeon City also known as Orario, a place where fearless, lawless adventurers set out in droves in search of fame, riches and fortune in a place full of misfortunes known as the Dungeon.'

Everyone, I have a doubt, do the monsters not turn to ash starting any particular floor, because if I'm not wrong, on the middle and deeper floor, an adventurer have to dig out the magic stones from the monster's bodies no?
But at the beginning of the anime. the monsters turned to ash when fighting against Bell, dropping magic stones. Any ideas??
