Bab 192: Chapter 192 - Melk Mountain
_______________________
---Three months later---
Autumn Mountain,
It has been three months since Lev visited Biotope 1. As per his words, Lev and the rest took a break as they didn't leave to find any ingredients and spent most of their time in the Vegetable Sky and Infinity Castle. This time, however, Lev and his summons were on the Autumn Mountain as the rest house had finally completed seeing a three-stories house standing beside the Supear tree.
As the sky was so blue and clear, Lev, Erza, and Mirajane could be found having a picnic under the tree together with their partners, Dart, Ruffunner, and Pouncer respectively. The children of the Mutton Boars, who had now regained their normal size and fatness, were also there playing and eating together with them.
"Erza, are your weapons and armor still fine? Or perhaps you need to buy and replace some of them?" Lev suddenly asked as he looked at the sword in Erza's hands. It was only now that he realized that the sword she was using was looking worn out despite still looking fine on the outside.
"I already looked around, Master, but it seems like this world's weaponsmiths were nonexistent." Erza replied as she looked at Lev with sad eyes. She was actually having some problem with this and already looked around to solve but it was very unfortunate that this world doesn't have any with it.
"Mmmm. This world focuses more on creating kitchenware and such. However, I have a place in mind that will help us with this, though I'm not sure if they could or would do it." Lev thought about it and only recalled a place or more like a person located on a particular mountain in the Human World. He thought that with their reputation, they might be able to help Erza with her needs.
"Really, Master?" Erza asked with surprise. The matter with her weapons and armor was something important to her since without them, she could not properly exhibit her power and abilities to help Lev in fights. Hence, knowing that her master, Lev, knew a place that could help her greatly excites her.
Suddenly, two wolves appeared on the place that came under the mountain which interrupted their conversation. These two wolves were none other than, White Fang herself, and the newly added family, Luna, who was now bigger than what her size from before.
"Master, Luna is quite a fast learner." White Fang immediately reported as she moved closer to Lev and pounced her head on him. They actually just came from their training after she was ordered to take care and train Luna by Lev which she accepted without question since aside from being a new summon of Lev, she was also curious since it was her first time seeing the same species as her.
"Good." Lev replied with a smile as he also called Luna to come closer before petting the both of them at the same time. With his capital and bountiful delicious ingredients, Luna's growth would not be normal showing how big she had become in just a span of three months.
"Erza, we will go to that place soon. So, prepare yourself for another adventure." Lev then answered Erza's worry while looking lovingly at the two Battle Wolves that he had. Since they hadn't gone anywhere for the past three months, he thought of planning to leave again.
"But before that, I need to deal with another matter first." Lev said as he stood up and took out a coat from his inventory. He then just fixed himself and looked into the horizon with a smile before heading inside their rest house.
Erza and Mirajane knew what Lev was talking about as today was not just any ordinary day since today was the day Lev's other business would open its doors to the public. They have already prepared everything and even started promoting their product for the past three months.
Following that, Erza and Mirajane also fixed themselves as they followed Lev inside leaving White Fang, Luna, the three Night Lights, and the family of Mutton Boars behind in the mountain.

Central Human World,
In a particular place located in the Central Continent of the Human World, a fifty-story building based on Lev's design was built. The building's name was called the 'Storage World', and looking closely, it might be smaller compared to the neighboring buildings in the area but right now, a huge crowd of people was surrounding the place. It was to be expected since aside from being their opening today, the item they were selling was something everyone was excited and curious about.
On the highest floor of the building, an exclusive rest house was built solely for Lev. It has all the amenities that every luxurious house has and a perfect ambiance to stay in. Meanwhile, at this moment, Lev could be seen looking through the monitors installed inside the building. He was observing the people who come and buy his product which is the 'storage rings'. He was smiling seeing how much money he would get from these people while he was not doing anything.
The distribution of storage rings was based on their capacity which complements the floors that the building had. The higher the floor, the larger the capacity of the Storage Rings being sold, and at the same time, the higher the price.
Everything in this business is perfect since Lev has already considered all the possible problems that will arise and already dealt with them with the help of the system. Also, these storage rings were quite cheap when he bought them from the system store so it was a win-win situation.
"President, the press was already waiting for you at the conference room." Suddenly, a young man appeared in the area. He was wearing a formal butler suit as he respectfully reported something to Lev. He was a person living in starvation years ago but was saved by Lev's generosity and was now working for him. It wasn't just him as all the personnel working in the building were people like him.
"So, it was now time for that. Angel, continue to monitor the place." Lev replied and said as he looked at the monitor for the last time before standing up since it was the reason he came here. He then just let the young man guide him as he walked casually into his building while wearing a charming smile on his face.
Following that, Lev's storage rings then make their phenomenal debut. With the press interviewing him, Lev completely left them dumbfounded upon answering all their questions without fault. The formal press that is live all around the world had only become a free advertisement for Lev to spread his product and concluded it with a very impactful message.

---Three days later---
Upon the success of the storage rings' business, Lev and his summons were now heading to a quite far place as they were on a quest to help Erza with her problems. They could be found riding on their respective partners, the three Night Lights, as they fly in the sky heading in a particular direction.
"We're here." Lev said as he finally saw the place they were looking. Following that, he then stood up from Dart's back. He looked at the flying beasts getting closer to them before he took out Zabimaru Infinity in his hands. After waiting for a while, he then suddenly jumped up high before making a battle stance midair.
"Universal Breathing: Thunderclap and Flash." Lev took a deep and profound breath before he suddenly vanished from where he jumped off leaving only a trace of thunder behind surprising Erza and Mirajane yet again.
If a person looked into the sky right now, they would perhaps wonder if it was about to rain since they clearly see flashes of silent thunderbolts. They would even immediately consider this as an ordinary phenomenon since the world itself really is special however, as the place was a barren field of stones added by the fact that dangerous beasts were living in the area, hardly no one would live in the area aside from two people.
Not long after, batches of beasts would fly down unwillingly seeing that most of them were falling despite being flying beasts themselves. However, when you looked at them closely, every nerve and part of their body was actually shaking as traces of lightning were running through them.
"Dart!" Lev called as he let himself fall after Knocking out all the flying beasts. He could actually fly himself but since he had Dart, he could not take away something that she was capable of since that's the meaning of being a partner.
Hearing Lev's call, Dart immediately dives down and catches Lev on her back before she flies up and joins the others. Since there were no other flying beasts coming after them, the group then sped up as per Lev's instruction since they were close to the place.

The peak of the mountain,
After minutes of finding the place, Lev and the others finally landed at the peak of a mountain. The place they were now was a large mountain that was 4000 meters in elevation, the Melk Mountain, and while they were heading to this place, Lev and the rest witnessed the unique geography of the area.
Aside from the surrounding region, which is mostly a barren field of stones, the mountain itself is covered in countless giant spikes, making it impossible to climb normally. Fortunately, they were flying or else they would have to climb the mountain from the carved path that they have seen on the way which is composed of about 20,000 giant steps leading to the summit.
Looking at the place, Lev and the others still hadn't jumped down from their Night Lights as they were being welcomed by a beast looking like a gorilla with its large wrists with equally large fists. Its skin is light purple, and its fur has a darker purple color. It has the facial structure of a gorilla but with bat-like ears and yellow eyes, and it has very prominent fangs. Its most notable feature, however, was the pair of bat wings on its back which are twice the length of its body and form a small tail-like shape near the beast's behind. This particular beast is called Vampire Kong.
The appearance of Lev and the others in the place immediately alarmed the Vampire Kong as it bared its fangs at them while roaring loudly for intimidation, however, it was not that helpful seeing the three Night Lights roaring together as they fought back. With that, a commotion then happened at the peak seeing both sides not wanting to back down.
"Pochiko, what was it?" Suddenly, a voice could be heard inside the only house of the place, and not before long, a person wearing a light-blue headband that bears the emblem of two knives on a whetstone appeared in Lev and the others' vision.
"Looks like we're in the right place." Lev said before he jumped down from Dart after seeing the person who just come out. He then just patted Dart while telling her brothers to calm down since they were not looking for a fight.
Following that, Erza and Mirajne also jumped down and followed Lev as they were curious about what kind of person would live in this lonely and barren place. Also, if the person they were seeing now was something related to what Lev was walking about.
"I'm Lev. This is Erza and Mirajane, my companions. We came here for a personal request. Can we have some of your time to talk about it?" Lev introduced and asked at the same time since there was no need to be indirect as he knew that the person he was looking at was pretty much busy with work.
"I-I'm Melk. P-Please come in." The person then introduced in return while looking at Lev with surprise and amazement thinking how a person like Lev could visit this place by himself since he was pretty known to every person in the world.
Hearing the affirmation, Lev, Erza, and Mirajane were guided by Melk inside the house leaving behind Pochiko, the Vampire Kong, and the three Night Lights who were staring warily at each other.
