In front of the hotel's front door.

"Thank you for everything; it's been a fantastic day." Neal stated.

"Don't say thank you; I really enjoyed your company; it was a mutual exchange." Fionn replied with a smile.

"Not at all; I have yet to complete my side of the deal, and I won't be able to relax until I do." Neal said, expressing his regret.

Fionn chuckled and proposed "Actually, on my way back to the hotel, I had an idea and needed certain goods to help me bring it to life. So if you can assist me with the purchase of these items, I'll consider the deal finished; however, I need these items by tomorrow morning; could you do that?"

"Gladly, as long as the items aren't too rare, I'll be OK." Neal responded cheerfully.

"Give me an ink brush and some paper, and I'll make you a list," Fionn said.

10 minutes later

Neal had a strange expression on his face as he read the list, and after a moment, he said, "what type of idea did you have for which you want such weird items?"

" It's a secret." Said Fionn with a mysterious smile.

"No problem, I'll go get these things right now and meet you at breakfast tomorrow." As he walked away, Neal said.

Fionn nodded and waved farewell to Neal.

"I better get some rest, tomorrow is going to be an interesting day," Fionn thought as he watched Neal leave.

Next day, on the cafeteria.

"What do you think? Is everything as you wanted?" Neal inquired after handing Fionn a large package.

"Perfect, you truly are a capable man bro," Fionn exclaimed, amazed by his effectiveness.

"Thank you," Neal answered with a smile, then inquired, "are you leaving today?"

"Yes, but I'll be back after a while." Fionn responded.

"Make sure you come and meet me; I'll treat you to a wonderful meal," Neal stated.

Their breakfast arrived soon after, and they chatted while eating it. Fionn listened attentively while occasionally commenting as Neal boasted about how awesome his Metal Golem is and how much it was worth it to buy it.

Fionn checked out of the hotel after breakfast, saying farewell to Neal and promising to meet again in the future.

After moving quite a distance from the hotel, Fionn inserted his mana in the star mark on the back of his palm, before long the space around him began to distort, and he teleported.

"You returned pretty soon," as clarity returned to his vision, Fionn heard Vyn's voice.

"I'd like to initiate an interplanar teleportation," Fionn stated bluntly.

"You can't, you're too weak for that," Vyn answered.

"Don't worry, I'm well prepared, and I even have the coordinates, so there's no issue with my rank."

" Oh, let me take a look," Vyn inquired as he jumped down from the top of the obelisk.

Fionn pulled out the Liaison Tracer and placed it down on the ground. Vyn approached it, placed his claw on top of it, and began inserting his mana.

"Because this plane is located on the outskirts of Alpha 7's domain, the variable in calculating the danger level will increase; I strongly encourage you to postpone your mission until you reach rank 1." Vyn stated after analysing the coordinates.

" Thanks for the advice, but I have made up my mind, please innate the teleportation." Said Fionn, displaying his firm resolve.

Vyn sighed helplessly and stated, "Since this is your private expedition, you'll have to fund it yourself, take out 100 high grade mana crystals."

Fionn smiled and piled up 100 mana crystals in front of Vyn.

The difference between mana crystal classes is simple: one high grade mana crystal equals one hundred mid grade mana crystals, and one mid grade mana crystal equals one hundred low grade mana crystals.

Vyn returned to his position atop the obelisk. Casting a spell, his body began to glow along with the runes on the obelisk, while the crystals placed on the ground began to melt at a rate visible to the naked eye as the obelisk absorbed their energy.

As time passed, a portal appeared in front of Fionn, resembling the eye of a storm and being pitch black in its depths.

"Enter, it's now stable, and keep in mind that every day spent there equals three days here," Vyn explained.

"Use the same means you used to enter this chamber to return to this world." Vyn added

Fionn nodded and began walking slowly towards the portal.
