I noticed that I didn’t get a popup saying that I had conquered the dungeon or anything like that. I had been waiting for some confirmation that I was victorious. I guess I hadn’t exactly tamed this guy, and I hadn’t gotten my hands on his true dungeon lore. In that respect, I hadn’t succeeded. I had still grown used to some kind of clear reward.

“Isn’t that the elevator on the Dioshin side? We’re there already?” Pait frowned, rubbing his back. “Are you saying we didn’t need to sleep for the night, and we could have just been out of here and sleeping in a soft bed?”
The dwarf was flummoxed as the party set out to go. I kept my mouth shut. I was pretty tired, having not slept the previous night, but I had a body that could go without sleep a few nights if needed.
