Fear

"Help" A weak voice could be heard from the cell. Sephtis went to the cell and saw the one who called for help retreat once their eye met, it was a girl around sixteen years old, she had brown hair and brown eye like most of the people, her body was well proportioned from both back and front.

Sephtis then squatted and tilted his head

And said with a cold tone,

<Sephtis>"And what do I get from doing that"

The girl shivering in fear with a tear falling down from her cheek Said

"W-wha-what do y-you want, W-we can give you m-money"

Then Sephtis responded again with a cold tone.

<Sephtis>"I don't need your money I could just take it from the treasure the bandits have. Although I do know of something you can do for me"

<Girl>"w-what is it?"

<Sephtis>"I want you to take me to a town or city"

<Girl>"Huh? T-that's all?"

<Sephtis>"Yea why? Do you have a problem with that?"

As Sephtis said that a pressure started to oppress the girl and she rapidly answered in panic.

<Girl>"N-No no I don't, I-I'll do it I-I can do that"

<Sephtis>"Mm Good"

Sephtis stood up and slashed the lock with the sword. After they opened the door about 30 people came out, from commoners to nobles they were all there. Nobody went and thanked Sephtis since they were all scared of him, except for the girl, she went and bowed with a thank you. Then Sephtis asked her name while looking her strait into her eyes.

<Sephtis>"What's your name."

The girl answered with a timid voice

"My name is Belle"

<Sephtis>"All-right Belle listen clearly, if any of them get left behind we won't stop for them, if someone is dying then that person will stay there and die I will not save anyone except for you since I need you to direct me to city, is that clear."

He said to Belle while she looked at him with shock thinking, how could he say that? Does he really not care if anyone dies? she looked at him and noticed that he didn't even bat an eye as he said that.

<Sephtis>"You stay here I'll come back after a while I need to do something"

He said those word as he left, the people had worried faces since he cloud use that excuse to leave them behind, but the thing they could do was trust him since pretty much no one could fight.

As the people were left worried he entered the other part of the cave to where the treasure was. Once he reached the end he saw chests with gold, potions, rings etc. inside. He pondered for a while as to how he would take everything when out of nowhere a notification popped up

*Ding*[New skill acquired -Inventory-]

-Inventory- Able to store any amount of items. Living beings Can't be Stored until skill can be upgraded to full version. -V0.5-]

<Sephtis>"Mm all right put everything in the inventory."

In the next moment the room that was full of gold just became an empty space. He then returned to the others and took them out of the cave. Sephtis left Belle in Charge of leading the way. On the way they they got attacked by monsters, some where sick so they were left there so that the monsters ate the, although some were reluctant to be left behind so they tried harder and harder to keep up but in vail. As the days continued they reached a road. Of the thirty people that had left the cave there were only twelve.
