'Show Status', I issued.
I know I said I'd review it later, but I have a moment to spare now.
I also didn't forget about the one Death Blade item I have either. I was considering using it against the King Slime to kill it in one shot, but that would have negated any Skill Proficiency I would have acquired otherwise, and I am glad I did the latter. It let me unlock those Skills too. Plus, this item is not to be underestimated. It's Legendary rank for a reason. A trump card, if you will. Tony doesn't need to know about it yet.

'Now this is looking much more like a Status from when I first arrived here in the MCU. I've already gained six Field Skills and four Active Skills. And would you look at that? Time is flowing again. It's 9:01 AM now. I could really make use of this...', I mused, feeling satisfied with all of my new gains.
I almost forgot, but I have the beginner's pack too. So much happened that I forgot to open it before entering the dungeon, haha!
"Not a damn clue how much time we spent in that place, but I need a change of clothes. Tell me to never enter the sewers again.", Tony remarked.
Thankfully we were surrounded by some trees that from the view of the rest of the park, it was hard to see us.
"Haha. You're not going to like what I'm going to tell you next then if you think being in a sewer was bad enough. I got my second dungeon added into the list.", I said, drawing Tony's attention.
"You mean you have another dungeon you can challenge already?"
"Yeah. It's a classic one too. Zombies.", I grinned.
"...", Tony didn't say anything to that one. "Nope. Not happening. I ain't dropping into some crappy horror flick. Good luck with that one kid."
"Hahaha!", I laughed. "You'll miss out on it. It's a higher level, so the loot's going to scale with it. That includes the money."
"...You're telling me you can even earn more?"
"Sure am. But I don't want to challenge it right away.", I replied.
"Now that I can agree with you. I'm really craving a cheeseburger right now. You want to drop by the nearest McDonald's? Free ride. I'm taking you to Long Beach anyway.", Tony offered.
As if responding to Tony's comment just now, I heard a stomach growl. And it wasn't from Tony. I looked down, and heard my own stomach.
That King Slime took around half of my MP to finish it off, so not the worst. I got a little injured too, but no heavy scratches or anything. Just some nicks on my hoodie, which I should probably replace. Not sure if I have enough to put a full suit on, but I can definitely upgrade my wardrobe. Macy's should be around in 2006 right?
"Make that a double and add a visit to Macy's.", I said after I spent a moment to look at what I was currently wearing. It's time to ditch this current appearance. At least my hair isn't unkempt. The beauty of having short hair!
Hearing that, Tony sized me up, and nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. Let's get rid of your look. You can't exactly walk into Stark HQ looking like that. Consider it an upfront payment if I do end up deciding to venture into that second dungeon of yours, even though I hate zombies.", Tony replied. Tony hates zombies, eh? Is it because they reject the living? "Chop chop! Happy should be parked at the lot nearby."
I nodded. I turned back, and saw there was no longer a portal for said Instance Dungeon. It is gone now. I had no attachment to this place otherwise. Time was moving again, but it stopped during the dungeon dive, the same people could be seen walking their pets. We paid them no mind as we made our way to the nearby parking lot. It had a few cars, but it wasn't busy.
But Tony's supercar sure stood out like a sore thumb. It was sleek and dark gray. Must've cost at least a couple million in production. Perhaps more. I don't know if supercars back in 2006 had the function of its doors opening vertically.
"Sheesh, how much did you spend on this?", I asked, taking in the sight of Tony's car.
"Trust me kid, you don't want to know. You need to earn your first million first before you can even consider having a sweet ride like this baby. I think you'll make it, if those dungeons are anything you say they are.", Tony said, giving me a rare praise.
I could totally see it happening too. Imagine earning millions of dollars from being a full-time dungeon diver. I could potentially livestream it too, considering this is the MCU and all. That'd put a big red target on my back though, and I'm not sure if I want to do that.
"Is that right?". I replied, wondering the possibilities of what could happen from this.
Tony stayed silent, and didn't respond. Instead, he reached down into one of his pockets, and retrieved his car remote. Beep beep.
Tony's supercar beeped, and excitement filled my eyes. It really did open vertically!
In the driver's seat, we soon saw a somewhat pudgy man indulging himself eating a cheeseburger, with an empty wrapper currently placed in the cup holder. He was about to take another bite before he saw a shadow obscure his view, causing his head to turn to the side.
"Tony, you're back---?", The man tried to say, only to let his cheeseburger fall down into said cup holder. He immediately pinched his nose after. "Jesus Christ Tony. You were gone for just one minute. What in the hell happened to you!? Please don't tell me you wandered into a dumpster."
"You really think I'd do that, Happy?", Tony responded with a hint of scorn. "Something unexpected happened, is all. I'd like you to meet someone."
After Tony said that, the man paused. He signaled for me, so I stepped forward, and arrived beside Tony.
"Myles, this is Happy. Happy, Myles. Good? Good.", Tony said, doing a weird hand gesture as he attempted to introduce me to the man in the car.
Harold "Happy" Hogan. He's just as you'd think he looks. His appearance doesn't change much, apart from changing from suit to suit. He works with Tony Stark on a personal level, and is quite close with him. Chauffeur, Bodyguard, Head of Security, you name it. Where Tony goes, Happy is likely to follow. You even get to see him all the way up to Endgame!
Might be worthwhile getting to know Happy too, on top of continuing to hang out with Tony Stark. I'm surprised he's actually taking me with him. I figured I would be in downtown LA by now, either tackling the next Instance Dungeon, or figuring out my living situation, but now, that's covered.
So I think I'll just go with the flow for now, and relax for the rest of the day. If possible, sleep in a bed tonight. It's already felt like a long day already, even though not a single second passed inside the Instance Dungeon.
As I thought that, Happy just had good luck with us in silence.
"You must be joking. Who is this, Tony?", Happy asked, still in disbelief.
"I told you Happy. This is Myles.", Tony said, standing firm. "Does it help if Myles knows that I don't like to be handed things?"
Hearing that seemed to have caught Happy off-guard. He just looked at us again. His eyes moved left, then right, then left, then right again, back onto me.
"Get in, but don't you dare touch anything."
"I knew you'd come around~", Tony smirked. "Oh and we'll be making a couple stops along the way. Cancel any reservations I have for today. That meeting can happen without me being there."
As if he had dropped a bomb, it took a good moment for what Tony had just said.
"Wait. WHAT!?"
