Chapter 26 - Hidden Requirements Fulfilled?

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Date: February 9th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:28 PM)~~~

The players at the counter next to me continue to bitch about the Forest Gnomes Dungeon. It's rather entertaining if I say so. The Bartender is happily smiling as he shines glasses. As I'm about to ask for a glass of water, I get a message from the system. I wasn't expecting anything of the sort, and I open my player interface and open the message.

[Hidden Requirements Met!]

[Klein is going to live, and that is all thanks to you!]

[Return to Sarah Relor at the library and get access to a hidden quest!]

I stare at the message and contemplate in silence. Sarah Relor's information in Met NPC's Tab stated that I'd get a quest from her, but when I said I'd rescue Klein. I never got a quest, not for clearing the dungeon or for saving Klein. This is definitely interesting. It could be the official quest to clear the Greedy Goblins Dungeon, just like the information says.

I stand up and make my way out of the bar. I understand from the system message that Sarah and Klein are already back at the library. Kedwein is having a steady population of players and NPC's. There are so many locations around Libertas. It's impossible for a vast majority of people to be in one place. I'm going to be in Kedwein for at least a day.

If everything goes according to plan, but my plans have already been changed slightly. Not in a manner that'd make the time spent here longer than I'd want. I follow the main road towards the library, passing the most important shops and stalls in Kedwein. The library is coming into view, and more players are going in and out than the last time I was here.

Once inside the library, I make my way to the staircase and head to the floor with a separate set of stairs leading to Sarah Relor's floor. The staircase is the same, and as I climb it leading to the door, I hear yelling from the other side. Instead of being nosy and listening in, I knock on the door, and the yelling stops.

They can resume their argument or whatever this is after I get the hidden quest. Footsteps approach the door, and it slowly opens, revealing a red-faced and red-eyed Sarah. Obviously, from tears. "Hello again, I didn't think I'd see you so soon... The system must've told you I had something for you." NPC's are aware of and use the system, and if they're quest holders like Sarah.

The system tells players to head to a specific NPC for a quest if they have one. This is one of those situations, and the NPC is aware of the system doing this. It notifies them that it's doing it. "Yeah, how's Klein holding up?" My question causes a cringe of pain on Sarah's face. She lets me in, and I look towards the couch. Klein is fine from the looks of it.

Just some bandaging here and there. "We were having a discussion about how stupid and self-centered it was for him to go into the Greedy Goblin's Dungeon Alone. How he could risk leaving his new baby and me behind!" She raises her voice louder at the end of her explanation. All I hear is a sigh from Klein and the gritting of Sarah's teeth in return.

I walk over to the makeshift living room and stand. "I'll keep it quick then. Give me the quest, and I'll be out of your hair." Sarah walks over to the desk and takes out a scroll. She brings it over and hands it to me. It's a quest scroll. I unroll it, and a screen from the system pops up in front of me. Detailing the quest.

[First Clear of Greedy Goblins Dungeon]

[Details: Sarah and Klein want you to handle the first clearing of the Greedy Goblins Dungeon personally.]

[Objective 1: Clear the Greedy Goblins Dungeon.]

[Rewards: EXP, Permanent Key to Greedy Goblins Dungeon, Unknown]

[Difficulty: Uncommon]

My suspicions were right. The most interesting part is the Permanent Key. Some dungeons, like Greedy Goblins, need a key to open. You can get these keys from NPC's or bosses, but they only work a limited amount of times before you have to get a new key. This is only a sometimes scenario, but I want this key.
