The tables have turned
Esdras returned to the real world feeling dejected that his attempt failed. It's not like he could blame the Pioneer title, after all it only said it made it less likely for him to be lost in dungeons.
This meant that he only had a general sense of direction, it was not omnipotent by any means. In fact he managed to evade most traps by luck or due to [Veteran's hunch].
Anyway this was a learning experience and he at least knew not to take the left staircase next time. He comforted himself with these thoughts and killed an Ageruus creeper and took the eyes.
Unfortunately this one was a level 2 type and only gave him 16 EXP.
Back in the real world he figured that there was still some time before sunrise and so he took a trip to Celine's camp.
He sneaked into the camp and woke her up, in the dark he took her away from the camp.
"W-what's this all about? Why are you here?" She asked, clearly annoyed at being suddenly woken up so early.
