Robert was eating breakfast when Elara came in with a concerned look on her face," Robert I received a quest from the System today" Robert who was about to take a bite, put the fork down and asked her if she would show him the quest.

"Hal, I cannot take her into the dungeon, she's level 2, and I'm not sure I can protect her."
The System would not include her if this wasn't something she could do. There is something going on, I'm just not sure what it is.
Robert, his brow furrowed with worry, turned to Elara. "The choice is yours, but understand the dangers that lie ahead." Elara, after careful consideration, nodded her acceptance of the perilous quest. The next few hours were a flurry of preparation. The request for an overnight bag had piqued Robert's curiosity. Consulting with Sara, she confirmed his suspicions: this was no ordinary mission. The implication of an extended absence was clear. With a heavy heart, Robert retrieved his camping gear, carefully selecting two tents and sleeping bags to stow in his inventory. While rations were essential, he also packed a few familiar comforts from home. He then equipped Elara with his trusted leather armor and quarterstaff, relics from a past adventure. Together, they stepped through the portal, embarking on their uncertain journey.

"Well that's different, I'm guessing we are not completing the expected dungeon run. Let's take a loot at the System Shop and see if there is anything special in it." Robert told Elara.

"Well, I think we can take that as a sign, then of where we will be going," Robert told Elara as they looked at the shop inventory. Looking at the options, he had the two epic tokens so he purchased the book and the scroll pack. They also picked up the two maps and used them to expand their personal System map. Opening the scroll pack, he found them interesting:

Looking over the scrolls, Robert knew he needed them all, so they took the time for him to add the spells to his System Spellbook before they continued. Once everything was ready they stepped through the portal and arrived at the edge of a forest in the middle of a road. Looking along the path, they noticed a city up ahead.

Elara let Robert know she had also received the quest, she also completed the quest to follow her teacher and had now reached level 4. Assuming that the city ahead of them was in fact, Lunaris they began to walk toward it. As they began the trek, Robert asked Elara if she had an idea of what they should expect when they arrived. She let him know she had never been to a city before but her understanding was they would probably be questioned by the guard before they were allowed to enter and would probably have to pay an entrance tax, at least that was how things were done in the kingdom she was from. As they drew near to the city they could see there was a line of people waiting to enter so they joined the end of the line and waited. As they moved close to the gate, they could hear that Elara was correct, the guards were asking people who they were and why they were entering the city, they also were asked to provide identification which might be a problem because neither of them had ID. Once their turn came up, they approached the pair of guards who began by asking them their names and reason for visit, Robert answered honestly, "Our names are Robert and Elara and we are here due to a System Quest." With those words the guards began to pay more attention, "Sir would you be willing to show us the quest?"
Robert could see no reason not so he displayed the quest screen to the guards. "Not much of a quest, though it appears to be a chain quest, well you have arrived at Lunaris, so it should complete now."

"A simple quest, huh?" The guards chuckled, eyeing the updated quest. "Well, well. Usually, chain quests are a pain. Looks like you’ve lucked out. Just show us your Kingdom ID, and off you go." Robert shook his head, a wry smile playing on his lips. “Actually, we’re a bit lost. My student and I were supposed to be in a dungeon, but the System seems to have misplaced us. I’m not even sure we’re on the same planet anymore.” The senior guard’s eyes widened. “You’re telling me the System plopped you here from a dungeon? A chain quest, no less?”
Robert shrugged. “Seems a bit odd, but I’m sure it’ll pick up steam soon enough.” The guard nodded, a serious expression crossing his face. “Alright, let’s get you sorted. Follow me.” He led them through the gate and into a guardhouse. In a small side room, they were asked to wait. “I’ll let Captain Stormheart know,” the guard said, disappearing into the main hall.
Robert, the decision is yours but this is the second largest city in the Kingdom and they might have someone with a Tier 6 identity, I would recommend you use 3 of your unlocked skill points and raise your status protection skill to Tier 7.
Not wasting any time, Robert did that.
