After exiting the dungeon, you then start again. In the first game, you go on the second lowest shop you have reached. here are shops on floors 9, 19, 29, etc. so, for example, if you have reached a floor between 29 and 38 inclusively, you will return to floor 19. In the second game, you can choose which floor to start at, but you can only start on a floor with a shop you have visited. There are shops every 10 floors.
