Mike crouched by the pond, gently parting the glowing grass and carefully checking each clover. The mana there was calm and warm, perfectly balanced—but every plant he found still had only three leaves.

He checked again.

Nothing.

A soft signal light flared in the distance—Melina's.

Mike stood and walked over. Melina shook her head slightly. "Not here either."

Linda joined them a moment later. "I've scanned the surrounding area. If one exists here, it's extremely well hidden—or it hasn't formed yet."

Mike exhaled slowly. "So even this place doesn't guarantee it…"

Melina gave him a reassuring smile. "That's normal. Four-Leaf Clovers aren't something you can force. Sometimes, the dungeon just doesn't allow one to be born."

After a brief discussion, they decided not to push deeper. The illusion pressure would only worsen, and they had already gathered everything needed for the potion.

The group left the dungeon without incident and soon reached Lionheart City.

At the city gate, Mike stopped.

"This is where I leave you," he said.

Melina frowned slightly. "Already?"

"I'll contact you again soon," Mike replied. "There are things I need to take care of."

Linda inclined her head politely. "I'll begin preparing the potion. When it's ready, we'll send word."

Melina stepped closer and squeezed Mike's hand. "Don't disappear on me."

He smiled faintly. "I won't."

With that, Mike turned away and headed toward a quiet inn room he had rented earlier.

The moment he was alone, he sat on the bed and let out a breath.

"Log out," he said.

The world dissolved.

Light faded.

And Mike opened his eyes back in his own room, the familiar ceiling of his real world coming into view.

He stared at it for a few seconds, silent.

"…What a day," he muttered, sitting up slowly.

Mike looked at the three skill books laid out in front of him, along with the Legendary Emerald Heart Sword.

Aside from Lunar Nova and Frost Guard, the other two had come from Linda while he and Melina were racing to find the Four-Leaf Clover. Linda had killed several monsters while keeping watch, and their drops included Emerald Vine Strike and the Emerald Heart Sword, both originating from the same monster—the Emerald Heart Millennial Vine.

Mike exhaled slowly.

"These are… absurd."

"Hm. Even though the sword only has one active skill and one passive skill, both of them are excellent," Mike said, nodding to himself.

He activated Midas Touch.

Golden light spread over the items.

The Unique-rank skill rose to Legendary, and the Legendary-rank skill and weapon ascended further—becoming Mythical.

After that, Mike learned the skills, feeling new information settle into his mind. Once everything was done, he walked out of his room.

In the living room, his mom, dad, and Misty were sitting at the table. Misty was happily feeding her bunny, swinging her legs as she hummed.

"We're here. We're about to land," his father said, looking at the large window display.

Mike walked over and looked outside.

What he saw made him pause.

The city below looked like a fusion of science fiction and fantasy. Floating islands were connected by glowing bridges. Tall buildings were reinforced with visible mana circuits, blending modern structures with magical designs. Airships and flying constructs moved smoothly through the sky.

"…This is totally a different kind of city," Mike said honestly.

His parents nodded.

"It's Rank 6, after all," his mother said.

Mike nodded. The scale alone was overwhelming. The city was easily more than a hundred times larger than their hometown.

The transport landed smoothly.

The moment they stepped out, a luxurious carriage was already waiting.

"Welcome to Lionheart City," Candace said with a warm smile as she approached them. "Please follow me."

She guided them through wide streets filled with mana-powered vehicles, elegant shops, and towering structures. Everything looked grand and alive.

Soon, they arrived at a massive estate.

"This is the Jordan Family Mansion," Candace said.

The gates opened slowly.

Inside, rows of butlers and maids stood in perfect formation.

The moment Mike and his family stepped forward—

"Welcome, honored guests."

Their voices echoed together.

They were treated like royalty.

Misty's eyes sparkled.

"Yaa~~ I'm a princess!" she declared loudly, puffing out her chest as she walked proudly ahead.

Mike froze.

His parents stared.

Candace covered her mouth letting out a chuckle.

The butlers and maids twitched.

Several of them clearly wanted to laugh—but their professional training held them back. Instead, they bowed even deeper, their faces strained, eyes full of admiration… and barely contained amusement.

"Of course, Princess," one maid said warmly. "Please, this way."
