Danmachi - Card Wizard

"So, what will we do?" Asked Aidan as he faced the goddess of the familia.

"During our time together, you will accompany me. I'll teach you how to cook, to at least be able to survive by yourself, I'll tell you about various old stories and legends about High-humans, and you'll come with me so that I can brag to the other God and Goddesses." Answered the goddess as a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

"Alright." Nodded Aidan, uncaringly, as he didn't have anything else to do anyway.

"It's been a month since Ais and Riveria left, and we haven't entered the dungeon since then." Said Finn as Aidan was ready for another day of working on papers boringly. "Today, we'll be going to the dungeon together since I'm starting to get rusty. We'll go down to the nineteenth floor so that you can train, and I'll be able to fight good monsters." .

With an excited smile appearing on his face, Aidan followed the pallum as they headed towards the dungeon at full speed. They didn't have much time to spend in the dungeon since Finn had other work to do so, they didn't want to waste time.

Four hours later, the two of them reached the eighteenth floor. The captain took a break to go and solve a few problems for the familia members in the city of adventurers. During that time, the boy didn't wait and went to the previous camping location of his and Ais's latest dive in the dungeon before setting up cards.

The first card he placed in the middle was the dome card to create a protective sphere over the area. Afterwards, he put a mana converter card right under it, which had both reserves and could convert mana into energy for the card. He then continued by adding a transfer card that could transfer the power of the convert card to the dome card.

From the converter card he had created, he had found that the card could passively absorb a certain amount of mana from the dungeon. It didn't work outside of it due to the density being lower, but in the dungeon, the card was able to guarantee a constant supply of energy which would, in the end, keep the power in the dome card steady.

The reason he placed all these cards was extremely simple. He has found a way to create a teleportation card to teleport from and to the dungeon. However, there were two huge limitations. The first one was that there needed to be a card at the location one wanted to teleport to, and the second was the enormous amount of energy necessary to teleport.

Finished with the protective cards, Aidan moved to the diversion cards as he placed an invisible card and attention repelling card, something he could now create after receiving the skill from his mother. With these two magic cards, he would repel people's attention from the dome covering the teleportation card, and he would make it invisible to make it even more unnoticeable.

Finally, after leaving a teleportation card in the middle of the dome, he threw an alert card at the crown of the dome to notify him if the teleportation location was compromised.

"Alright, with this, it'll be easier to go to and from the dungeon in the future. Moreover, while the energy consumed is huge, with the amount of money I have, it is more than enough to guarantee enough energy in the cards with the huge magic stones. Right, Finn should be done soon." Muttered Aidan out loud as he gave one last glimpse at his various cards and sprinted in Finn's direction.

A few minutes later, the pallum arrived, and they immediately walked down to the nineteenth floor, which he almost died on previously.

"It's been a week since the dive with Finn in the dungeon, I still haven't told anyone about the teleportation formation, so I guess it's time to implement my plan." Grinned Aidan as he finished creating his small hideout in the church and installing the second teleportation card after shielding and protecting his lair as much as he could with his cards.

With a third teleportation card in his hands, Aidan immediately teleported to the 18th floor of the dungeon.

Looking at his surroundings, the boy smiled joyously. "Finally, I can continue to fight. I won't go to the 19th floor yet. I'll continue to kill the monsters on the 17th floor. Moreover, since I didn't update my status last time, there isn't a problem to continue to kill monsters for Excelia. It's just sad that Ais isn't here with me." He said, talking to himself out loud as he prepared himself for the next fight to come.

"Let's go!" He cheered himself up as he ran both to fight the monsters faster and not be noticed by the other adventurers on the floor, who knew if there was one from the Loki familia.

"So, how are your renovation plan doing?" Asked Loki as she walked in the streets with Aidan as she wanted to take a breath of fresh air.

"It's going pretty well. It's pretty easy with telekinesis magic. I have successfully renovated the ceiling, the walls and the floor and I have been decorating it lately. I also inquired, and the church isn't as abandoned as I thought it was. Hephaestus is the one owning the deed, and she promised to me not to sell the church as long as I was using it." Explained Aidan with a smile as the previously dilapidated church was now nowhere to be seen.

The church's interior was now made of beautiful pale brown planks, the exterior ceiling had bricks, and everything was appropriately decorated. Moreover, since he could, he reinforced everything with his cards as a test. He had some dwarves come and dig a well in the back of the church and install a beautiful fence that kept away other random people. Everything was now pretty lovely. Not to mention his secret base in the garden at the church's exterior, where he kept his teleportation card.

"That's great. How about with Finn? How do you find working in the papers?" She asked curiously.

"It's pretty boring. I have to read the document before signing off on it if it makes sense. I undoubtedly prefer fighting monsters."

"Well, I received some news that Riveria and Ais are a little late, so they will only come back in five weeks." Said the goddess as she took a look at Aidan, who was looking forward to her return to not only spend time with her but to go back in the dungeon.

With a nod of his head, the boy didn't say anything as he knew it was customary to be a bit late on quests since there were always unpredicted circumstances.

"Well, I remember you went to the dungeon with Finn a few days back and didn't update your status. Do you want to update it later?" Asked the goddess, thinking that Aidan was sad and disappointed.

"No, it's fine." He answered as he drifted off to buy a snack from the stall and hand one to Loki, who had a surprisingly sweet tooth. "I'll update another day."

"Understood." Nodded the goddess with a smile as they both continued on their way to explore Orario, meet new people and discover new food stalls that tasted great.

That afternoon, Aidan once again made his way to the teleportation and went directly to the dungeon to continue to strengthen himself. He did not doubt that Ais was also killing countless monsters outside of the dungeon so, he couldn't be weaker than her when she returned.

As such, the next five weeks went by quickly. In the morning, he would wake up, sometimes having dreamed off of Ais and remembering that she wasn't there. Afterwards, he would work on the documents with Finn, followed by a quick training with the captain. He would then go to eat with everyone and then go to spend some time with Loki. Finally, he worked a bit on the church, which had a completely new look before going in the dungeon for four hours of combat and exercise.

With this, his time alone finished, and the party of Riveria and Ais came back in Orario.
