~~~(Time: 12:09 PM)~~~
When I came to Abble and started searching for the next clue to my tier-up quest, I didn''t think I''d be going through the library here book by book. There are certain things that I don''t tolerate for long, and doing the same thing over and over again is what I really dislike to put it nicely. A book is in my hand, and I flip through the pages in azy manner.
If I could see the look on my face, it''d be misery. "There has got to be a better way to finding out about my tier-up quest than skimming through some damn books..." Whispers leave my lips as to not disturb the people that are actually working. yers and NPCs alike are here searching for information on potential hidden quests or quests they already have.
The good thing about the library is I''m being left alone. No one is walking up and causing me trouble. "Maybe I should ask Cera... I was hoping to find the answer on my own, but I''m totally stuck..." He''s already helped me a ton, and I feel bad for always bothering him with things that I need help with. But I don''t have a choice anymore. I open my Friend''s Tab and click on his name.
[Sorry to bother you, Cera. But I''m stuck on my quest, and I don''t know what to do next. All I know is I have to find information about Winters Wrath somewhere in Abble. I''ve talked to all the elderly, and I''m getting sick of having to read book after book in their library. If you know anything, please get back to me soon. Love you!]
That should be good enough, and I send it to him. He''s probably busy dealing with his own problems right now, so it might take a while. "I''ve had enough of this crap." I m my book shut and leave it on the table as I exit the library. The streets are filled with shops and stores and people walking toward their destination. My hood is already up, and I disappear into the crowd.
What I need to do is find something to upy my time, and there aren''t many things you can do outside a tavern to do that. There are always dungeons and monsters that I can fight. But that would require me to go into the local Wilds here. I wouldn''t have thought that a Wilds would be so close to Abble, and it might hold a clue about my quest.
But I can''t be 100 percent sure. I''ve never been in a Wilds before, and I''m a little worried that something might kill me and take away a level. It''s so annoying grinding to get back lost levels. From what I''ve heard, at least. The exit to Abble is up ahead, but I''m not leaving the city yet. I turn off and stop off at a yer restaurant.
Cera gave me enough gold tost me a while before we split. The economy had to change all across Gaia. yers were getting an overabundance of gold that wasn''t created by the people of Gaia. It crashed our economy for a few days, and now only gold has any real value. "I bet the nobles and rich merchants loved that." That''s a coin flip, really. It''s hard to know how much the rich have.
As I sit down and another fellow yeres over and hands me a menu, my thoughts are stopped in their tracks as I see all the amazing food that they''re offering. My eyesnd on the steak and french fries with ranch. "It''s been a good minute since I''ve had a decent meal." Thest one was in Capital City Avalon before everyone split up.
The waiteres back after a few minutes and heads back to the kitchen with my order. Now all I''ve got to do is wait. "Can you believe that a Hidden Dungeon has popped up out of nowhere in the Wilds?" A conversation from the table next to me catches my attention. I keep my hood on and my head low, but I''m listening intently.
These yers came from the Wilds and from the sounds of it. Something important that could rte to me has shown up. A Hidden Dungeon being uncovered right when I enter the town is a little strange. "Yeah, and it''s a tough one from what I hear. Many people have lost important gear and plenty of levels trying to clear it." That sounds like it hasn''t been cleared yet.
If the Hidden Dungeon in the Wilds near here does y a role in my tier-up quest, it''ll be the first time I have to do a dungeon alone. Surprisingly, that''s something that I''m looking forward to. Well... Maybe it would be surprising for the old me. "Turns out some pretty big guilds areing here. Steel Legion Guild being one of them." yer guildsing all this way is rare...
Why would arge and powerful guild such as Steel Legion be interested in a Hidden Dungeon in Abble? That''s something that doesn''t fit... A guild that size would have bigger fish to fry... "They''ve already sent scouts to the city and are investigating the Hidden Dungeon. Gathering information and sending it back to their leader Sir Erikson." Guilds sure have an easy time getting around...
My eyesnd on the waiter as he approaches with my te of food and sets it down in front of me. The smell is intoxicating, and I can''t help but salivate just a little. "Too bad none of us are good enough to join guilds... We only got Common Grade sses..." I don''t really know that much about getting into guilds, but I guess it''s pretty hard to get into some.
Cera exined some of the top guilds a while back to me. Steel Legion is supposed to be number two, but I don''t know if that''s true anymore. My mouth is full of food as I think about what I''ve learned today. "I wish we had some help for the Hidden Dungeon... We''re all too weak to even think about trying..." That''s a sad mentality to have... One that I used to have...<sub> </sub>
There is no way that I''ll do a dungeon with someone other than Cera or close friends of mine. So doing the Hidden Dungeon with a party is out of the question, but I don''t even know if it''s connected to the quest that I have. I shouldn''t jump the gun regarding that, but I don''t know when Cera will get back to me, and this is the best lead I''ve got.
Before I go gvanting off towards the Wilds and taking on the Hidden Dungeon there, I should try and get some information first. "Is there anything else I can get for you, miss?" The waiter is at my side, and I simply shake my head. He smiles and sets the bill on the table. A total of 4 gold for the entire service. I can''t reallyin, but hey, it''s not that much in the grand scheme of things.
I take the money out of my inventory and ce it on the table along with a 2 gold tip. I stand up and make my way toward the exit. The roads are getting a bit more crowded with yers being respawned at the local Cathedral from dying. "Must be pretty tough out there..." I know I''m strong, but I''ll take this as a warning that I shouldn''t underestimate anything out there.

A/N: Below this line, I''ll be keeping Cera''s yer information. That way, I won''t have to ce it into the story above anymore. It takes about 180 words up.
