So, talk to her again and she'll send you to Serin's place, once you go to Serin and talk to her, first you'll be given two options:

"Let her do it"

and

"Stop her"

CHOOSE STOP HER(If you want to finish the quest).

Then after some dialogue, choose

DO NOT CHOOSE "I do...its alright" because that's what I did, now unfortunately, I can't continue the quest anymore.

After you choose "I changed my mind, for Rune-Midgard" Serin will summon 1 Dark Illusion, 2 Ancient Mummy, 2 Wraith, 1 Ghoul to attack you, after you kill them, Serin re-appears and some dialogue ensues.

if you missed the 11 am of today, you have to get it at 11 am tomorrow.
13. Bring The Sign back to Metz. After he find out the truth of The Sign, his wish is fulfill and he'll return you the Sobbing Starlight.

14. Bring The Sign and Sobbing Starlight to Gen (niflheim 146 241). Gen will warp you to his Master's room, Lady Hell.
Meet her and pass the Sobbing Starlight to her. Then sit back and watch the fireworks display on Lady Hell! After the fancy display, Lady Hell will give you the Lucifer's Lament.
CONGRATULATIONS

Cresens Says: it seems there is a bug with the Queen of the Dead NPC. In the last part of the sign quest where you give her the SOBBING STARLIGHT (mind you, you must show her the sobbing starlight, not the sign item), you have the choice of giving the sobbing starlight to her.
the choices here are YES AND NO. i've clicked on yes 5 times and got warped out, seems that i "refused" to lend it. apparently, you should click on NO.

15. Go to Geffen Fountain and click on Fountain or go to Geffen Dungeon Lv4 to start your new adventure alone or with party. The portal will open temporarily, anyone regardless party or not can enter the portal. But beware, the map have very strong monsters and you can't teleport/warp! Its should be bot-free-map.
