The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

The next three years of Rein's life went away in a flash but during this time period many things happened. First of all, Lopas started to regularly visit Rein in his territory and after 1 year, she decided to move to Rein's household with the excuse of studying territory ruling.

But she did not need to use this excuse for too long as just four months after that, her engagement with Rein was declared. Lapas' father, brother and grandfather were very much against this engagement but her mother and aunties supported her in this endeavour.

As soon as that happened, the king also sent his daughter to Rein's territory. He felt that if Rein became too close to duke Leonance, that would not be a good news for him. That was why he sent his daughter to Rein to create a strong bond too.

But just Rein's future potential was not the reason for this decision anymore. When Rein had just turned 6 years old, a strange beast had attacked a nearby territory. This strange beast was quite powerful the baron ruling that area was powerless against it.

So he asked for help from nearby territory and Rein's father went to help. But even though he was a rank 2 mage, he was barely able to match the strange beast but was unable to defeat it. He was even at a disadvantage for most of the fight.

Strange beasts were animals who were mutated by natural mana and had gained the ability to use magic instinctively. They were even able to train and could even develop their bloodline to become even stronger. Just like mages, the strange beasts were also categorised into ranks depending on their power.

The strange beast that had attacked the Baron's territory was not only a rank 2 beast, it even had gone through a bloodline refinement. For that reason, this beast was stronger than most rank 2 powerhouses. So Asher Markarm was unable to defeat it.

When the baron and all the other lords of the surrounding domains had lost hope, Rein stepped up. He revealed himself to also be a rank 2 mage and defeated the strange beast in frontal combat. This was something unprecedented as no one had expected Rein to reach the second rank so soon after his awakening.

This news again became a big deal to the nobles of this nation. Seeing that Rein had already grown to match Viscount's was enough to prove that there was a very small chance that he would not be able to fulfil his potential. That was the reason he sent his daughter to him as soon as he could.

...

The princess who was engaged to Rein was named Luna. She was a very shy girl who was always silent. She was completely different from Lopas who was always energetic.

After meeting her even though she did a good job of hiding it, Rein was able to see that Luna was actually very shaken up about her sudden change of environment. So Rein decided to immediately take care of this problem.

For that reason Rein brought Lopas with him to spend most of their time together with Luna. Rein's mom also joined the trio from time to time. This way Rein was able to help Luna get used to the unfamiliar environment.

Luna was a very intelligent girl. She was the same age as Rein and had also managed to awaken as a mage. But she only had one affinity which was also nothing rare. Not only that but her talent was also very basic and had low potential. So in the royal family, her value was not that high. That was also the reason why the king was able to send her away to a remote territory without much trouble.

Even though Luna was small, she was intelligent enough to understand that for her father and the royal family, she was nothing more than an item that could help them to create connection with a future powerhouse. This was a depressing thought but Luna had always accepted her future as useless furniture.

But with Rein's care, she was able to get out of her negative headspace. One day she even gathered all her courage and confronted Rein and asked him about his thoughts about her. Luna needed to strengthen her heart a lot before asking this question as she knew if Rein gave her any negative answer, then she would be devastated.

But Luna's fear turned out to be unfounded as Rein's answer was something she had not expected. Rein actually gently told her that he really liked her and he himself proposed to her to spend her life with him.

Luna had always felt that she was not worthy of being at Rein's side. After seeing how talented Lopas was, that thought became even stronger in her head. But after Rein actually confessed to her, all her negativity disappeared.

After that day, Luna became a lot more cheerful than before. Not only that but she also started to practice magic with Rein and Lopas. After finding that her affinity and talent were lackluster, Luna had actually stopped practicing magic completely as she thought that it was just a waste of time. But after Rein's encourage and seeing how much Rein liked magic, she decided to try it out once again.

Actually even though Luna's talent was judged to be below average in the royal family standard, she was still more talented than Rein's father and most of the other mages in the world. So with two super geniuses there to assist her and with her super intelligence, Lopas was able to make a considerable amount of progress.

Lopas also improved rapidly in her magic and was able to reach the third rank before the start of their school life. After seven years, no one would awaken as a mage anymore, so in eighth all the future mages needed to start attending the magic academy to learn more about the world of magic.

...

So Rein stood in front of a mirror while wearing his school uniform. Two cute little ladies were also standing beside him wearing their own uniform. As all of them were extremely good looking, together they looked like a beautiful painting.

So now it was time for Rein to start his academy life in this world.
