After several days of training, the MC finally decided it was time to take his children deeper into the dungeon. Not just to find new elemental powers, but also to grow stronger... and hunt down some monster breakfast.
"Listen up, kids. Down here, it's not just slimes and bats anymore. There are creatures that could scramble us into omelets," said the MC seriously, despite his round, comical form.
"Your rotten egg smell alone could scare off monsters," Abu quipped, bouncing around smugly.
"That's not a smell! That's a natural defensive aura!" the MC snapped, clearly offended.

**Entering a New Zone**
The dungeon corridors began to change. The walls were rougher, the temperature hotter. From somewhere deep ahead, a monster roared.
They arrived in a wide room lined with glowing blue crystals—ice-type magic crystals. Without hesitation, the MC stuck himself onto one.
> [System: You absorbed Ice Element Lv.2]
His body instantly felt cold—like a leaky refrigerator.
The children followed suit, each reacting differently to the crystals:
- **Putih**: Her icy mist grew thicker, now able to freeze small puddles.
- **Oyen**: Sneezed loudly—the crystal was clearly too cold for a fire egg.
- **Lurik**: His shadow illusions began emitting a fake chill.

**First Battle: Attack of the Stone Wolf**
Suddenly, a stone wolf emerged from behind the crystals. Its body was as hard as a tombstone, its eyes glowing blue.
The MC shoved the children back. But before he could act, **Hitam** rolled at high speed and crashed into the wolf's leg. A crack formed!
**Belang** camouflaged himself as a rock, leapt onto the wolf's back, and caused it to panic.
**Cimut** unleashed his disorienting sound waves, making the wolf lose balance.
Finally, the MC launched himself into the air and crashed down onto the wolf's head, activating his new skill:
**Rotten Ice Slam!**
**CRACK!!**
The wolf collapsed and slowly faded, leaving behind a glowing gray crystal.

The MC let out a breath of relief. "You all did amazing today. We now have fire, ice... and earth."
He glanced at the new crystal and muttered, "If I can combine elements... maybe I could become a meteor... an Egg That Falls From the Sky."
Oyen gasped, "That's so cool! Like an Olympic Meteor Egg!"
The MC fell silent. "...I kinda like that."
