[Quest: Retrieve the Key of Avarice 0/1]
'Ah. Fetch Quests. Kinda boring, but hey. Should be a lot safer than the first dungeon.'
That's how the entire dungeon was so far—weirdly safe. In fact, it felt more like a town or event space than a dungeon.
Coupled with the ominous notification [Oblivion Rests], the true nature of this dungeon was evident to Nick. The calm before the storm.
Nick looked up at the mansion, which was actually desolate in a contrast with the vibrant city. Though it was old and gargantuan, it did not project the same ethereal sense a valedictorian mansion would.
The landscape surrounding this matched its near decrepit state. Dark gray clouds loomed overhead, casting a shadow on the already existing darkness.
Despite this, the ground suggested a clear lack of rain due to all the wilted grass. Even the ground beneath him was parched and gasping for water.
