21 [Poison]

Fred is inside the warehouse standing there in the open but still no one can see him.

He look around and saw that the warehouse is full of crates here and there, but despite that, a large open space is still open for people to walk around or play around.

The warehouse is pretty big that's why it is like this.

There are also many people in here wearing black suits, but although they dress decently, the aura of a thug is emanating from their body.

'Hmmm... looks like these people are all just thugs. But to do a risky crime like this they should not be just some simple gangster, they probably are from some big force or... they are just being used as pawns by someone!'

Fred use his head to think about these things as he walk around the warehouse leisurely as if this is his backyard.

He arrived a group of thugs sitting around a table playing cards, he snuck behind one of them and look at his cards.

'He have a good card.' he nod his head with a thoughtful look as he walk pass that thug.

He continue walking around until he finished looking around thw whole warehouse.

'Looks like it will work.'

Fred is not just mindlessly wasting time, but he is actually looking if there is something like a security camera.

Now that he is certain that there is none, he is going to implement the plan that he was thinking of earlier.

First he created a skill [Poison] deducting a point from the silver section.

[Basic Poison: A skill that is able to produce poison that can induced reaction like paralysis, diarrhea, sleepiness, etc. based on what the user wanted. It can be produce is any state that the user wanted be it liquid, gas, or solid state.]

Looking at the explanation of the skill, Fred nodded his head looking satisfied with it. He especially like the last part of where the user can make it liquid, gas, or solid state.

'This will be pretty convenient. It's lucky that that's included into the skill even though I forgot about that part.'

After looking at the skill details for a bit, he used the [Poison] skill.

Fred raised his hands and, slowly, from the palm of his hands, white gas started releasing, floating in the air around him.

As it dispersed around the air going throughout the whole warehouse, the thugs started unknowingly inhaling the poison gas.

After about 30 seconds, the first thug dropped down on the floor and with him as the lead, the other thugs also started to fall unconscious dropping down on their respective places.

"Phew~ that was easy!" Fred said while looking at the people littering the floor like garbage... or maybe they are human garbage, meh.

"Now, what should I do with them? Hmm..." Fred started thinking while looking at the thugs that is breathing rhythmically.

As for how they are still breathing, it is because Fred only used the [Sleep] poison that can make the person that take it fall asleep.

He did not just kill them without mercy because he think they may still have some use.

"I'll stack them into one corner for now."

With the decision finished, he started dragging the thugs on their feet and throwing them on a corner.

Even with all that movements, they still won't wake up because of the effectiveness of the poison.

A few minutes later, Fred cleared up the warehouse of littering thugs.

Through the process of clearing all those thugs, Fred discovered something. Behind a few large craters, there is a "cave" that leads you to the underground though, only a little bit is visible because of the crates.

When Fred saw that, he felt confused for a minute asking, "Why is there a cave here?" and the likes.

But still, he is not an idiot to not think of the one thing that could be the reason.

"Is, is this a dungeon!?" he was startled when he thought of that so he walk near it and pushed away the craters that is covering it.

What faced him is a dark cave with steps heading downwards.

"This is really a dungeon!"

After he confirmed that it is indeed a dungeon, Fred can't help but be overwhelmed by excitement as he almost started jumping.

"Wait, calm down me. This is a dungeon, there are always danger in dungeons. I should always be wary of everything."

After calming himself, look back on the pile of "garbage" on that one corner.

"I should first make sure that no one will be able to leave."

Then he look around and saw ropes placed above one of the crates. He picked it up and measure it a bit.

"Hmm, this should be enough!"

He walk towards the corner and started tying the hands and feet of the thugs one by one. Next, he tied the ropes on their feet with another rope and connected it with the criminals.

He dusted his hands and look at his masterpiece.

"This should do!"

Then he run back to the entrance of the dungeon.

He think if he still have something that he needs to prepare. Only then did he remember that he doesn't have a weapon on him.

Earlier, he just used his fist to bring down that mutated orc down and that's okay, but now he is going inside a dungeon he should at least have a weapon to fight.

He then saw an axe behind a glass on the wall.

He can't help but become amaze with his luck this time.

"Am I a protagonist or something!?" the thought crossed his mind and then he started laughing.

*Shatter!*

He broke the glass pane and grabbed the axe. He weighed it and was satisfied with it.

He looked at the entrance again and said,

"Now I'm all good! It's time to explore!"

Then he took a step forward.

"Oh let's not forget the camera!"
