Adrian's soulbounds vanished and all his skills got sealed. Even his weapon is gone and is sent to his inventory. He had no choice but to play by the rules of the dungeon. He grabbed the lamp and entered the house. The door eerily closed with a creak with Adrian's figure disappearing.

The inside of the ho is the sa as any other ho with furniture and photos hang here and there. The only thing different is that everything is eerily quiet and the only source of noise is Adrian's footsteps. He first arrived at the living room and in there is a woman sitting on a couch with her back turned from Adrian.
Adrian decided to ignore her and continue on to the next room at ground level. He saw stairs but he would only go up once he explored everything at the ground level. The room adjacent to the living room is the dining room where a number of people with veils on their heads are just sitting there and not doing anything.
"Are they mannequins?" Adrian asked himself but he still decided to ignore them and proceeded towards the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen is a bunch of food that is rotting because flies and worms can be seen. Adrian looked around but could not see sothing like a portal so he decided to return to the living room. He passed by the kitchen door but he noticed sothing strange.
"Why are they all staring at ?" Adrian thought to himself as the heads of the people are now looking at the kitchen door where he exited. He just walked quietly towards the living room but the sa thing happened as the woman sitting on the sofa is not looking at the door leading to the dining room.
"Okay…This is starting to get creepy." Adrian thought but he just went to the stairs not trying to scare himself.
He climbed the stairs quietly but it produced creaking sounds that are unpleasant to hear. He reached the second floor of the ho and it only had two rooms there. Adrian opened the first room and it is empty but there is a large king size bed in there. He suspects this is the master's bedroom as the bed is large and the room is quite spacious.
Once again, he did not see a portal or a way out so he checked the next room. He opened the next room and he could clearly say that this is a kid's room due to the number of toys inside. Adrian suddenly heard whimpering sowhere in the room.
Like all horror movie characters, Adrian made the dumb choice of looking for the source of the sound. He shined his light at a corner of the room and saw a kid huddled there crying. Adrian once again made the stupid choice like any other horror movie character to get close to see what is happening.
Once he is about a few steps away from the child that is about eight or nine years old, the child stopped crying. Adrian stopped in his tracks when the child stopped crying as he suddenly realized that he acted like a horror movie protagonist.
"I think I just killed myself with the way I acted." Adrian thought as he slowly backed away towards the door and exited the room.
The room of the door suddenly closed before Adrian did so. That beca Adrian's cue to hurriedly go downstairs. He arrived at the middle of the staircase but stopped on his tracks because of what he is witnessing.
All the people inside the house are now looking up at Adrian which made his skin tingle. He then backtracked a little to go back up. But when he looked up, he saw the child that is crying in the corner of one of the rooms. He could see the face of the child looking at him with its nonexistent eyes as it is just dark holes.
The people standing still started walking towards the staircase. Even the child started going down the stairs. Adrian is stuck between a rock and a hard place as he cannot see a way out. He could not even bash the people in the house because he deals no damage but that did not an the environnt could not deal damage.
Adrian wanted to use the fire of the lamp to damage the oncoming people. Adrian wanted to bring the house down with him if he is going to fall here. He threw the lamp at the stairs with as much force as he could.
The lamp broke but the fire did not spread. Instead an apparition of a Jack-o-Lantern appeared and it spoke to Adrian.
"You easily broke my maze. You are no fun but the next ti it will be more difficult." The spirit of the Jack-o-Lantern said in an obnoxious voice.
[You have successfully cleared the sudden quest.]
[You have received 100 candies.]
The spirit of the Jack-o-Lantern then took Adrian by the collar and dragged him to a portal. The two of them then reappeared at the entrance to the Halloween dungeon instance. The Jack-o-Lantern is still grumbling that soone easily broke his dungeon. Adrian used his evil eye on the Jack-o-Lantern to find out what it really is.
NPC: Spirit of Halloween

"The next ti you enter my dungeon then it would be more difficult." The Jack-o-Lantern said before disappearing.
"He is still the sa nya. He does not like people conquering his dungeon but he does give good tasting candy nya. Do you want to exchange so items for the candies nya?" The black cat with a witch hat stated and Adrian looked at the cat's goods which made his jaw drop.
"They are all expensive! I might need to do a few more runs of this instance dungeon."
