Leaving the instant dungeon, Arthur found himself on the road to the second dungeon.
The reason? Money.
Although he was now fairly rich for his level, this money was dirty, without any document or paper saying where he got it from, but even so it's relatively easy to handle — he just has to create such a document.
Not forge it, but create it. Which means he has to go to the dungeon to launder this dirty money, but there's also a problem with growing to fast that was.
Gods/goddesses — basically walking, thinking 100% lie detectors. Because what can he even do now? if, for example, some god or goddess with a stronger familia attacks the Hestia familia because it has two fast-developing people then Arthur also needs to grow as fast as possible to avoid such a fate.
So he simply needs to do a tactical Bell Cranel and go from morning to evening or afternoon and make big progress in the dungeon, and with time occasionally go down to lower floors, but this too has a risk — the attention it might draw.
Along with the fact that he'll also will have the 200-million debt that Hestia will take on.
Even though he could leave the Hestia familia, that would simply be shitty behavior and would also skip a large number of events like the expedition to the 27th floor, Xenos, the war with the Apollo familia, etc.
However, now with a relatively cool head, his first idea of buying a house seems stupid, because who would choose to live in an ordinary house instead of a mansion.
With these thoughts, Arthur reached the Tower of Babel; without hesitation, Arthur entered the dungeon.
Already on the first floor, Arthur noticed how monotonous it would be to kill only goblins and kobolds with dungeon lizards. So after a short thought process, Arthur decided to go down to around the 7th floor.
Knowing that this isn't a deep descent, Arthur still decided that before going down to the 5th and lower floors, he should kill as many goblins, etc., as possible to make the guild as suspicious as possible. Although Arthur could do what Bell did and speedrun most of the floors, for now he needs a level up on his falna to gain some development abilities.
However, for a level up Arthur must max out his stats, and looking at them, he will have his stat cap at 1500 like Bell.
However, Arthur still needs a skill like Liaris Freese as a boost to exilia.
And to add fuel to the fire, Arthur will most likely fight the Big Bastard at the end — the OEBD — so for that everyone definitely needs to be stronger than in the canon, because with his arrival in the story two things can happen: the Dragon will be stronger than in the canon, or it will be the same.
Although Arthur would prefer it to be the same as in canon, he can't be sure.
Walking toward the descent to the 6th floor, Arthur followed this line of thought while killing random monsters that spawned during his little brainstorming session. After about half — and in total 4 hours — of traveling to lower floors, Arthur was already standing before the entrance to the 5th floor of the dungeon.
