2 Night Raid

In the middle of the night, in front of Dumbo's Magic Shop in Wannabe Town.

*Achoo!

"F*ck, its freezing out here," Mark thought. His body shivered whenever a brush of wind pass by him.

In reality, it wasn't that cold but because of Mark being extremely malnourished his body's resistance was quite low.

Well, the fact that he was currently naked should be the primary reason. From head to toe, not a single piece of cloth clothing could be seen.

After having his back whipped numerous times, his previously worn shirt was not all tattered. Wearing it now wouldn't make any difference. Similarly, his pants were slightly torn and the belt that was holding up his pants were also torn into two. It seemed that garter shorts weren't made here yet so he couldn't find one as belts were considered a trend right now.

He could've just stolen clothes from some shop and he could get on with it but it would make Mark guilty. He wouldn't steal from someone he didn't know or at least they had no ill intentions. If it belonged to some corrupt noble then he wouldn't hesitate. But sadly the lord of Wannabe town was known to be just and good so stealing from him wouldn't seem right.

So now Mark was in front of his ex-boss's shop to "clean" its item. Shop Owners here didn't lock their store like back on Earth but instead bought slaves to guard their store for them 24-hours. Locks wouldn't pose a problem here in this fantasy world. There were tons of magic capable of infiltrating an unguarded store. And not only it is more efficient than locks it's also more cost-effective.

Effective locks would have to be made of magic ores because if not with just a hack of a sword that lock would be broken. Magic ores were quite pricey compared to slaves who weren't even worth a tenth of the lowest grade of magic ore. Slaves here were bound by a contract and disobeying it would cost one's life. So slaves were quite loyal to their masters as least their contract was in effect.

His boss, Dumbo, inherited this magic shop from his father. So the shop was well-known and trusted enabling it to rise in the recent years after Dumbo takes over it. With his cruel methods like blackmailing and the like he was able to eliminate most the competitors here in Wannabe Town.

The shop sold magic items and materials of a different variety. But due to Wannabe town being far from the middle of the continent where mana is most concentrated the quality and quantity of magic items here was quite low. At most Dumbo's shop was only able to sell a low-grade ore with the rarity of a 3-star material called, Red Blood Stone. But even so, its reputation was quite good among the local towns near Wannabe Town.

Tonight's slave in-charge of night patrol was a man called, Barba. Despite possessing a weird name and possessing the body of those like Dwayne Johnson. He and Mark's relationship was good so he wasn't going to kill just for tonight's raid. Oh wait, there wasn't any killing that would happen. Even if there was the only person that will get killed it would only be Mark. As Barba was a 2nd rank warrior, meaning that his level was at least 20 and below 30. Let's not mention the other three 2nd rank warrior stationed inside the shop.

Mark's plan composed of him silently sneaking in while in his invisible form. Then, he'll snatch up every single valuable thing there. As for how was he going to carry it, he'll first have to find the spatial ring somewhere around the 3rd floor of the building. It contained countless golds and some special magic weapons and potions. The contracts binding Barba and the others were also there

"Alright! Operation Night Raid is a go!"

He entered through the back door as the front door was closed and opening it would only alert Barba who was just sitting right beside it. Entering through the back door was relatively easier. The back door was where the goods come in then to be stored in the basement. Although there were two guards there they wouldn't pose a problem to Mark as long as he was invisible and made no sound.

After entering through the back door he then proceeded upstairs to enter Dumbo's office where the spacial ring should be.

The room was similar to the offices found on Earth. Same furniture and the same arrangement. The only extravagant design here was the mounted head of a moose. This moose originally was a 4th rank beat but after being killed by Dumbo's father it's body was sold and the head was kept as a trophy. Everyone knows how the story goes so it was nothing surprising but this head held a secret which no one knows except for Dumbo and Mark.

The spatial ring wich Dumbo owned was actually hidden on it right nostrils. Although it was was weird no one really expected for it to be hidden there.

After picking the nose for a second Mark finally got the spatial ring. This thing had no security at all as after wearing it just say the word embedded on the underside of the ring then as soon as you say it an open space would appear whenever you close your eyes. Storing things was easy just hold the item you want to store then say "store". If you want to take out an item just imagine it appearing on your hand or somewhere near you then it would be there before you know it.

The thought of robbing made his blood boil in excitement for some reason and he couldn't wait to spend all the money he'll get. But he knew what was more important right now and those could be found on the 2nd floor. The second floor was where the magic weapons and armours were kept. And a particular robe called "Moon Lit River" was displayed there and its simple design fitted Mark's taste. He wouldn't worry about the sizes as all magic weapons were enchanted with magic that automatically fits its wearer.

After storing all the items on the 2nd floor he then proceeded to the basement to sweep the basement clean of its items. There was no one on the basement as the 4 guards were all stationed on the ground floor. So with no further obstructions, it didn't take a long time before he finished storing all the things he wanted.

The spatial ring capacity was at most 3m x 3m and all the items on the basement definitely couldn't fit even if he tried to as spatial ring would spit it out the excess items. So after he got what he wanted he proceeded to leave the shop.

He then proceeded to the nearest inn called Night Wake Inn.

Before he entered he didn't forget to wear a common robe that he just stole from the 2nd floor. He wasn't stupid enough to wear the "Moon Lit River" as its design was unique. It was light blue in colour and it excluded a pale light like the moon hence it was named Moon Lit. There was flowing waves pattern on it seeming like a flowing river.

If he was to wear it then it's not different from plainly saying that he just robbed Dumbo's store.

Although he had the [Invisible] skill he would live quite a few days in hiding. Let's not mention that fact that he was still level 1 and Dumbo could easily despatch people to search for him who were at least above level 20.

For now, he deserved a comfortable rest.

"One room please," he said to the lady on the counter.

"100 copper coins for a night."

"Here,"

"Your room number would be 9."

"Thank you"

After getting the key to room no.9 he couldn't help but smile as he thought that this would be the first time he was going to sleep on a bed in this world.

"Good Night!"

With these last two words, Mark slept like a baby without care to the world.
