Of course, the ones who enjoyed this castle and its luxurious rooms and service the most were the Earthlings. Chris, Lucia, and Jake were surprised at being given their own large rooms to stay in.
Comfortable, clean, and warm beds, new clothes, and the ability to go to the bathroom and take a warm shower astonished them.
They were quite surprised. They had originally thought this world was "medieval" or something, but it clearly had most of the same luxuries they had on Earth before their apocalypse.
The explanation was magic. Dwarves were also among the pioneers of Magitech, using Mana Cores from monsters to fuel special technology. Simple things, such as a toilet that flushes or a shower that produces warm water, were all made using magical materials.
Once the night arrived, before going to bed with my beautiful wives, I moved outside my room, leaping onto the castle's rooftop, where I found Augustus waiting for me.
