## Story

### Dungeon Arc

Aladdin, along with Ugo's body in his flute leave the Room of Fortitude and go in pursuit of the Djinn metal vessels. Aladdin, weak, starved, and thirsty, approached a group of robbers near the oasis of Utan and pleaded for something to eat. They began to mock him, threatening to sell him to a slave trader. Ugo's arms grew out to attack and defend him when they put a knife in his face.

Later, Layla and Sahsa, a couple of merchants discovered Aladdin eating valuable watermelons from the caravan. Aladdin apologized to the two and asked what he should do now to compensate, because he didn't know. He was compelled to labor for three days, without any pay as a form of retaliation. He spent the following few days with Layla and Sahsa, assisting them with the transfer of the products, learning about his surroundings from them, getting to know them personally, and even introducing them to Ugo. The caravan eventually decided to move on, debated whether to take route three, and then asked Leila for her advice on which way to travel. She suggested traveling via route four, after hearing reports of robbers in the area.

During the conversation, two sketchy men approached, exposing Layla's caravan backstory, so they chose not to follow the fourth way, believing Leila was attempting to deceive them like she had done previously. Aladdin recognized Layla and trusted her, so he informed her that her companions were following the third path. When she said she must have been mistaken about her "friends" and that she wanted to return to robbery, he replied that if she died, it was sad enough to lose a friend's trust, and that when you do it over and over again, you finally die of grief. Layla says it is too late, but Aladdin reassures her that it wasn't too late, and he summoned Ugo to accompany her behind the caravan. While the robbers were attacking Sahsa's caravan, Aladdin, Layla, and Ugo arrived to beat the thieves. Following that, Layla and Sahsa thanked Aladdin and bid him farewell.

Aladdin, accompanied by a woman and her daughter, Mina, boarded a caravan with Budel, a wealthy wine merchant, and the driver was Alibaba. During the voyage, Aladdin unintentionally insulted Budel, but was saved by Alibaba when the angry man attempted to kick him numerous times, which the driver took on himself and punished him for. He spoke briefly with Alibaba, who told him about his hopes of one day conquering a dungeon and being wealthy, which Aladdin initially dismissed. However, Alibaba piqued Aladdin's interest when he informed him about all the exquisite food and beautiful women he'd be getting, Budel intervened and mocked at Alibaba's dream, telling him that only brown rats hunting for food in the desert do this, and that he should stick to his groins. Alibaba agreed and laughed it off, but Aladdin was struck by how much Budel's words irritated him. Soon later, a desert hyacinth snaked beneath the caravan's wheels, tipping it over and spilling the barrels of wine. Budel tipped his wine over while gathering them, and the little girl traveling in his cart next to the barrel tumbled over the edge of a deep hole caused by the desert hyacinth. As Alibaba reached out to save Mina, Budel, who was trying to salvage his wine, shoved him out of the way, forcing Mina to fall into the desert hyacinth. Aladdin attentively watches them, as Alibaba punches Budel, grabs a wine barrel and jumps in the hole to save Mina.

The claws of the desert hyacinth snaked out from behind him and tried to eat Alibaba instead of the tiny child as he returned her safely to her mother. Meanwhile, Aladdin anxiously sought to contact Ugo, but he was unable to do so due to sand in his flute. So he put on his magic turban, which was full of Budel's wine, soared over the hole, and told Alibaba that he shouldn't give up and that he wanted to learn a lot more from him than money or wine could buy. Aladdin then threw all of the wine into the monster's mouth, saving Alibaba. Aladdin was finally able to call Ugo from the flute, and he flies to the Qishan oasis with Alibaba.

Alibaba then invited Aladdin to remain with him in Qishan, convincing him that whomever fights his enemies alongside him is his guest and friend, which made Aladdin very happy because he was his first friend in this world. Alibaba inquired about the flute and Ugo, who emerged from it, at home, and asked whether Aladdin had discovered Ugo in a dungeon, to which Aladdin replied that he obtained the flute in a normal underground room that he shared with Ugo for a long time and had just lately managed to leave. He then questioned Alibaba and himself if there were any Djinn vessels in those dungeons, and when the latter nodded briefly, he him to take him to a dungeon. Before he could respond, the boss of Alibaba arrived to inform him that Budel had demanded a significant payment in compensation for the wine he had lost, and that he was even going to make Alibaba a slave because the wine was for a notorious king who enjoyed bullying and harassing slaves. Alibaba reassured his boss by promising to conquer a dungeon and so compensate him, and he asked Aladdin to show his boss Ugo in exchange for transporting him to a dungeon. Then Alibaba introduced his employer to Aladdin, who mistook him for one of his friends at first. But when he simply introduced him as his follower, Aladdin became very depressed. Alibaba didn't understand the cause of Aladdin's rage and assumed he was tired of the dungeon, had a stomach ache, or was concerned about his share of the money, assuming the latter and assuring Aladdin that he would get his djinn vessel, Alibaba would be content with the remaining treasures, and he shouldn't be angry with him any Aladdin, on the other hand, did not react as he had intended. So Alibaba was concerned that Aladdin didn't want to go to the dungeon with him any longer, and he remembered his talk with him, in which he got a little carried away with the excellent food and attractive women. He brought Aladdin to a nightclub after that to fix his mood. Aladdin, on the other hand, remained motionless next to Alibaba, who was now irritated and urged him to simply tell him what didn't suit him. Aladdin then asked if he was just his follower, to which Alibaba corrected that he was only saying that because his boss was standing in front of him and it was logical that he was his mate, comrade, and friend, to which Aladdin then pointed him out with tear-filled eyes, questioning whether this was really true, and was happy once more when he confirmed it.

When Aladdin questioned if they were going to the first dungeon, Alibaba informed him about the story of the first dungeon and the young man who conquered it, and then told him that they were headed to another dungeon, the seventh dungeon, Amon. He then warned Aladdin that it could be a risky trip because no one had conquered Amon in ten years, and then asked him if he still wanted to go. He didn't object to not going into a dungeon, but Alibaba was beginning to doubt himself. Aladdin, on the other hand, boosted his confidence by saying: "This isn't a 'death staircase'! This is a road that will take you directly to your goals!" So Alibaba regained his enthusiasm, but first chose to prepare by going shopping with Aladdin before entering the dungeon. When Aladdin came across a large sword while shopping and wanted to show it to Alibaba, he lost his balance and began swinging back and forth, prompting Alibaba to back away and accidentally bumping into red haired girl. They realized she was a slave, and Aladdin, unaware that his act would be a serious crime, cuts the chains and tells the red haired girl (Morgiana) that she no longer had to hide her beautiful feet.

When Budel appeared and threatened to enslave Alibaba, he demonstrated what a slave shouldn't do, and tugged at Morgiana. Aladdin defended his friend, hit Budel in the lower leg with his flute, asked why he had the right to torture people, and said Alibaba would never be his slave and he despised guys like him. Budel then called authority to apprehend the two, to which they subsequently fled. When they were encircled, Aladdin summoned Ugo, and the two of them made their way to Amon. Aladdin, tired and hungry, starts falling down and collides with Alibaba who is hesitating at the entrance of the dungeon, and the two enter the dungeon.

He tries to tell Aladdin that they are not enemies and that Aladdin should become his magi, but Aladdin refuses as he does not agree with Sinbad's plans.

Sinbad says that he wants to use Solomon's Wisdom to get into the Sacred Palace to rewrite the rukh, but Aladdin isn't buying it. He does not think that a world were everyone is dictated by Sinbad's standards for all eternity is a good one. However, Sinbad is convinced of his position as he has been able to see the flow of destiny his entire life. Aladdin thinks that destiny should just run its course but when he points out how Solomon took that control from Ill Ilah and set it free, Sinbad becomes angry as he thinks that Solomon was irresponsible.

Aladdin asks how Sinbad can be so sure, no matter how extraordinary a person he might be. He tells Sinbad that the misfortunes he experienced, from slavery to the destruction of first Sindria, were the result of Sinbad's own failures. However, that is normal as Sinbad is an ordinary human being who can't shoulder the burdens of the world alone. Sinbad doesn't agree, so Aladdin declares he will not lend him his strength. Aladdin leaves the scene, leaving Sinbad to think about how Aladdin runs from his responsibilities just like Solomon.

Arba goes after Aladdin to Rakushou with the plan of hijacking his mind in order to get Solomon's Wisdom. However, she can't find him or Hakuryuu as they both had escaped.
