9 Fixed!

Fred ran to the camera, he bent down to pick it up. He looked at the previously what can be called as an 'antique' in his eyes that now became nothing but pieces of garbage with sorrowful eyes.

This old camera was handed down to him by his father and it even came from his grandpa so this is something that he treasures. It contains many memories of his childhood as well as his father's. Well, it has the whole family's memorable photos from some occasions.

With this camera being ruined unto this state, Fred can't help but remember his family and tears started gathering in his eyes. But he wiped it away as soon as it appeared.

Fred looks at the camera while keeping his emotions from coming out again.

"...What should I do now...." he murmured,

He went here to the dungeon to capture some videos, but now that his camera broke like this...

"Sigh..." He let out a breath with a heavy heart. He walked to a wall and used it to support his back, he crouched while leaning his back to the wall.

"...If I wish for something... will it come true just like how I gained another skill earlier?..." He asked no one before he suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"Me and my wishful thinking... how could all things be easy like that..." he said as if reprimanding himself.

Then he whispered, "I wish this camera would be repaired..." His voice contains his hopes.

Although he did not believe that things can happen by just wishing it, we as humans can't help but always cling to that small hope that we can see. Even if that hope sounds crazy and impossible.

Like maybe, there are those people who want to have some sort of powers that they saw from novels, they will either wish for it to no one or try to copy what the cultivation manuals from novels that the author made up. Maybe this will sound funny but in life, sometimes these things we call funny might be an inspiration to others. That they will not stop no matter how impossible.

Fred is like that, even though he reprimanded himself earlier, he still did it and wished for the repair of the camera.

He felt it once again then, the feeling of something going inside his body.

Fred immediately shut his eyes, he saw the scene of a number on the bronze section changing, starting from ten then nine, eight, seven, six, and it only stopped decreasing when it hit five.

Since it stopped, Fred, opened his eyes and looked at the camera that was still in his hands. He can feel the energy or something from inside his body flowing towards his arms and going to the camera.

The energy covered the camera and it started emitting bright lights.

Fred felt his eyes hurting from the light but he did not close it, instead, he looked intently at the camera that was covered in light.

A minute pass and the light started to subside. Fred's eyes are already reddish because he did not even blink when he watched the camera be covered in light.

After the light is gone, the camera on the hands of Fred is now repaired. He can't help but smile when he sees that the camera is now fixed.

He tried it out and captured photos a few times and also recorded some videos.

When he saw the results, he felt that it is much better than how it used to be. The photos are much clearer, you also can't see any lag from the video. The colors also of the results are good, unlike what this old camera should be able to show.

Fred reasoned that this upgrade is also from the same power that was used to fix the camera.

He just smiled and counted it as lucky.

With a smile on his face, Fred walks around further inside the dungeon while holding the camera as he captures all that is happening into a video.

He sometimes made some comments about what he thinks about the dungeon is like, 'This place is really bright, I wonder how it lights up the walls' or 'Just what the hell! I almost slipped from that slimy thing! What is that!?'

Although it looks like Fred's focus is fully on capturing videos, he is actually very wary of his surroundings because he doesn't want to be surprised by an enemy for the second time.

Fred met some goblins while he was walking, some are in groups of 3-4 while there are also those that are alone. Fred fights with those that are alone using his crowbar while he hides behind some rocks if it's a group because he's not sure if he can fight with many enemies at the same time.

Time flies by, and an hour has already passed. Fred is already far from the entrance of the dungeon. He also killed quite a lot of solo goblins roaming.

An hour of walking is very tiring, so Fred decided to take a rest for now.

He searched for a good spot to sit down on and found one with a good flat surface.

Fred went there and sat down,

"Ahh..." he let out a breath of relief as he sat down on the flat ground. He stretched his arms and rotated his head as some popping sound came out from it.

Fred got some food inside his inventory for him to eat.

After eating, he wanted to relax a few more minutes so he leaned on the wall behind him.

*click*

*Grrrrrrrrgggg*

When he got on the wall, a 'click' sounded from the wall and then the sound of stone grinding against stone started echoing.

Fred was already alerted just from the clicking sound that he heard so he immediately bounced up from where he was sitting and turned to look at the wall.

Then he saw the wall start moving to the side as the grinding stones sounded.

*Bang*

The wall stopped moving and an entrance was opened.

Fred hesitated but still approached it as he walked slowly and warily.

....Just where does this entrance will lead Fred...
