Eloise's Nightmare II

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

~~~(Location: Inside the Dungeon Eloise's Nightmare on Duke Renold Ferzel's Estate, City of Cellera)~~~

~~~(Date February 14th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:33 PM)~~~

The amount of Nightmare Monsters I've killed is ridiculous. The system adjusted the difficulty of Eloise's Nightmare and has made it an actual challenge for me. I've been in here for a little over 2 hours, and I'm only halfway through, and the Nightmare Monsters get more challenging as the Dungeon goes on. I can have some relief in the thought there aren't any mini-bosses.

Getting EXP hasn't been in short supply here, and that's wonderful. All my Combat Skills have received 25 EXP towards them. I've been using them in diverse ways and experimenting with effective combos. Dark Vines and Dark Burst are close to leveling up, only 10 EXP for each. I've gotten 25 EXP towards my Player Level as well.

By the time I'm finished with this Dungeon, I'll have raised my Player Level and some of my Combat Skills by a level. "RAAAGGHHH!!" I stop looking at my Player Information, and I focus on the new group of Nightmare Monsters. Each is disgusting in its own right. The multiple mouths and limbs really make the skin crawl.

I lift my right arm and point my index finger in their direction. "Dark Burst." I say the name of the skill to add some flair to the fight. The Libertas Dive is a Role-Playing Game. You're meant to have fun playing the role of your class and your character. That's why the Player Lore Tab exists. The Jet Black ball forms in front of my index finger.

The Jet Black ray is launched a second later, and I kill all the Nightmare Monsters in front of me. Getting 5 EXP towards my Player Level and another 5 EXP towards Dark Burst for killing the group. My Mana is getting low again, which means I'll have to stop and wait for it to regenerate. Hence why I'm here, to get gear to expand my Mana.

~~~(Time: 5:51 PM)~~~

My eyes watch my daughter as she sleeps... She's been trapped inside her dreams and is being tortured by the curse cast upon her. My sweet baby girl... It's been hell trying to find help, and nothing has worked. I'd go into the Dungeon myself, but no one over the level of 20 may enter, and no one has been strong enough to clear it while meeting the level demand.

Delila sits next to me and rubs my back... "She's looking weaker and weaker as time goes on... Do you really think this child that Tesha sent can help us..." My bitterness and resentment are apparent. The young man is around 20 in age. I don't know how old he truly is... She rests her head on my shoulder and wraps me in a hug.

The Dungeon has proved to be a challenge that can't be overcome by anyone that I hire. The system is constantly adjusting it and making it harder for those entering it. "We don't have any choice... All we can do is hope to the Gods that Mr. Scott can handle this on his own..." It's maddening knowing that there isn't anything we can do to help...

He refused to have any help in the Dungeon. Claiming that they'd just get in the way... The only thing bringing us solace is that he hasn't come back yet. He hasn't died and respawned. "Yeah... Tesha did everything she could to help us... She wouldn't send us a worthless fool..." My hand is holding onto my daughters as I speak to Delila.

~~~(Date February 14th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:22 PM)~~~

~~~(Warning: Disturbing Content Ahead)~~~

The monsters in the room all stop what they're doing... Stop torturing me... The times between being killed and tortured are few... My small body is broken and healed again and again due to the curse. "Why don't you leave the young lady alone?" My heart jumps at the voice of a person.

My empty eyes look towards the door leading into the boss room, and I see a single man. Completely unharmed. I instantly use Scan on him to see who it is, and my heart sinks at what I see.

[Lyatt Scott, The Darkness Incarnate (Mythical)]

Before I can scream in horror at the monster that's walked through the door, Jet Black Vines burst from the ground and locked up those around me. Killing the ones that don't instantly get free. I look towards the Dungeon Boss, and she's shaking in fear. Having sustained heavy damage already... A nine-year-old shouldn't have to go through this... It's all just a Nightmare...

[A/N: I don't like writing things like this, but I felt that it'd add some seriousness to the situation Eloise is in. I take solace in the fact this is only happening in her mind and not her real body. I suggest you do the same.]
