[Quest Complete!]

[Freeing Eloise]

[Details: Dive into the Dungeon known as Eloise's Nightmare and free her from the Curse that's afflicting her. She's asleep in her room, but her mind is projecting her nightmare. There are multiple ways to complete the Dungeon, but a new possibility has opened up due to your class. The Darkness Incarnate is Mythical in grade, meaning changes to specific activities as you level up.]

[Rewards: Massive Reputation boost with the Ferzel family and Relli family, upgrade core]

[Grade: Epic]

As Duke Renold Ferzel hands over the rewards, the system gives me the notification that the quest is complete. His office is where we're conducting business, and I'm glad that we are. Eloise shouldn't see me, knowing that I'm The Darkness Incarnate. Her reaction might be negative, she might be thinking it was a part of her Curse at this point, and I want to keep it that way.

The Upgrade Core is sitting in my Inventory to be used, but saving this for the later Skill Levels after the Combat Skills upgrade is better. Cause they're going to be harder to upgrade as I get stronger. "You have no idea how much this means to us, and tell Tesha she'll receive a reward for sending you to us." Delila stands next to her husband.

Their eyes are red from crying, but it's likely from tears of joy. Their daughter is saved, and I've even destroyed the Dungeon... Didn't even know that was possible. "How is Eloise doing? Going through something like that will leave mental scars." My question isn't as innocent as it seems. I'm trying to figure out if she's mentioned anything about me.

If she has mentioned my class and me as The Darkness Incarnate, that must be dealt with. Duke Renold leans back in his chair and sighs. "We're having a mage come in this hour and suppress her memories of what happened inside the Curse... She's asleep right now..." Talk about lucking out. She'll have the memories of seeing my Mythical title and class sealed.

That handles everything regarding what I have to handle here in Cellera, and I can head back to Tesha. She wants me to do something for her after helping me with this, and I owe her. "It's too late for you to travel. We insist on having you stay with us until tomorrow." Delila is fast to offer something that wasn't even out in the air.

My plan was to use the Travelers Compass and get back to Kedwein. Find an Inn and log off for the night. Get back to the real world for some food and water. While my gaming pod provides that stuff, I want some real food. "Your offer is generous, but I've done what I've come to do. There is no reason for me to stay any longer." Delila and Renold consider me a close friend now.

The reputation boost wasn't kidding about being a massive increase. This is also the first Epic quest that I've completed this life. It's been added to my Player Lore Tab. My goals are complete, and once back in Kedwein, I can finish leveling up my Player Level and take on Von Jaric Larids Raid, along with The Forest Gnomes Dungeon for some blueprints.

Out of nowhere, Duke Renold stands up and looks at me seriously. "It'd be dishonorable of us to only reward you with an Upgrade Core for all you've done! At least let us show you some hospitality!" His enthusiasm is noted, but I have no interest in entertaining nobles. Instead of responding, I close my eyes and turn around.

Before completely leaving the room, I turn and look over my shoulder. "The best thing you can do for me is to keep the fact I was ever here a secret. That's the best thing you can give me." They look confused, but I leave before they ask for any further explanation. Once outside the massive mansion, I start walking down the path towards the front gates.

Having a Duke as a close friend and his family is good, and when I need his help, I'll call on him. The best thing he can do for me right now is to keep what I did a secret. "Heading back to Kedwein is my next step." I pull the Travelers Compass out of my Inventory and select my destination. I'm taken in a bath of light, and I'm transported to Kedwein's Teleportation Platform.
