Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

Chapter 28: Abondoned Factory.



Chapter 28: Abondoned Factory.

The rusty door creaked eerily as Noah opened it with his full strength.

A wave of dust flew over the entrance where they were standing from inside the building.

"Uff, this place is really dusty."

Thomas called out as he hurriedly took out a napkin and placed it on his mouth and nose.

Noah didn't mind the dust as he just waved his hand over his face and entered the factory through the entrance.

"Wow, this place needs a lot of cleaning to do."

He exclaimed as the others too followed him and came inside the building. The floor had lots of rubbish so they had to mind where they were stepping and not fall down.

Shaya and Betty had disgusting expressions on their face as they looked at all the waste inside the factory. It was not something kids of their age were used to be around.

"Let's hurry and complete the mission. I don't want to spend more time in this dirty place."

Shaya suggested, to which they all nodded.

The first floor had a long hall with intersections with other connected rooms. There were some old machines and equipment that were left behind, a perfect hiding place for rats and roaches.

"Searching the whole factory will be hard if we all moved together so we will move in different ways and search by ourselves. FIne?"

Noah planned as everyone nodded and did as he told.

The six of them separated and moved individually going about the factory searching for useful items.

Felix chose to go into a room on the right side which seemed to have been a storage room for goods. The room was filled with heavy-looking containers and barrels.

Observing around the room even going as far as opening those large containers, he couldn't find anything that seemed useful which made him suspicious of this mission.

'What can we even find in this abandoned factory except for dust and dirt?'

He gave up probing around the room after a few minutes and came out to the long hall.

There he saw the others too coming back while showing their empty hands.

"I didn't find anything. What about you guys?"

Noah asked, to which Shaya replied.

"Me too. There seems to be nothing on the first floor."

The others nodded while Thomas shrugged.

"Maybe we should move on to the second floor now."

"Yes, that seems to be the only option."

Noah agreed to his idea as there was nothing of use on the first floor.

Hearing that they were going to the upper floor, Felix couldn't help but frown as he felt a bit unsettled about going upstairs.

He did not voice that out as he didn't have a valid reason for his suspicion, maybe it could even be his misunderstanding.

The group agreed to the plan and went upstairs using the stairs at the end of the long hall. The wooden stairs creaked when they stepped on it.

But thankfully, it did not break down as they reached the second floor.

It was dark here as the floor did not have many windows, unlike the first floor.

"Whishhh~"

Kind of cold too as a chill wind blew over them.

The kids trembled holding their shoulders as the second floor seemed to be unusually chilly.

"Is it just me? Or do you guys feel cold too"

Felix asked them out as he felt that the chill must have been because of his scrawny body that was still developing. But he was surprised as the others too held their shoulders and nodded to him.

"You're right, it did get much cooler here."

"It is because there are no windows here?"

Shaya agreed while Thomas reasoned for a potential answer as to why it suddenly got chill.

"Let's not mind the weather guys, we should complete the mission first."

Noah again stopped them from wasting time as he wanted to complete this mission quickly and go out from there. It appeared that he got scared for some reason.

They shrugged and carried on with what they did on the first floor and separated searching around for things.

Felix this time chose to walk into a narrow corridor. There was hardly any light there so he could only touch the walls and move forward.

'Hmm, I don't think there's going to be anything useful even on the second floor.'

He reached a small chamber with no other way ahead. There was nothing much there, except for some broken chairs and utensils.

"Booom!"

Suddenly a loud sound came from downstairs almost shaking the whole building.

"W-What was that!!"

Felix panicked at the sound that seemed like an explosion as he hurriedly came out to the main hall of the second floor.

"Hahaha kids, are you trying to play hiding with us? Sure I'll love to do that."

"Kekeke that sounds like fun. Count me in too."

The kids ran and gathered near the stairs before a crazy shout came from below them.

The six of them paled when they heard the dark voice of some people. It looked like someone broke into the factory with them being their targets.

"Oh no! They must be from the enemy guild!"

Shaya shouted out as she was quick to realize that someone was after them.

"W-What should we do??"

Thomas panicked as Betty already seemed to have started crying with her face pale white.

"This..."

Noah was not capable of any thoughts as he could only mutter something incomprehensible.

Felix frowned and called out to them.

"Calm down guys, first of all, we have to hide somewhere."

He motioned them to quiet down with his finger on his lips and pointed to the stairs leading toward the third floor.

"Follow me to the third floor."

He pulled Betty's and Noah's hands and moved toward the stairs without making much sound from their steps.

Kevin nodded and signaled for Shaya and Thomas to run ahead while he stayed at the last. It seemed that he was the second most calm person in the group after Felix.

The six of them hurriedly moved to the third floor and continued to the stair that led to the fourth floor. They were in a hurry and thus did not realize that it was getting colder the more they went upstairs.

Stepping onto the fourth floor, Felix calmed himself and looked around for a better hiding place.

'I am the only one who can deal with the enemies, so I must hide them in a covert place.'

He knew that they were not going to aid him if he got into a fight with the people that were after them. And for their safety, he chose to hide them on the fourth floor.

There was a large window on the front side of the floor with the rest of it being in the dark. He ran to the dark side of the floor where there were several rooms and made his way to the last one.

When everyone got inside the room, he quietly closed the door and fell on the floor with some slight fear.

"Do you guys have any idea as to who they are and why they are after us?"

He relaxed now that they were far from the intruders and asked the kids.

"That..."

"I don't..."

All of them shook their heads and calmed themselves down, after seeing Felix being serious unlike them.

Not getting any answer from them, he narrowed his eyes.

'The enemy is unknown to them so it must be some problems with the guild.'

He wanted as much information as he could as not knowing anything about your opponent was the same as sacrificing your queen for a pawn in chess.

But unfortunately, he didn't know anything about them and could only come to a conclusion by himself.

'There must be more than two people who came here, so if I take into account that they must have separated to find us just like we did.'

'Then I can take them out one by one.'

He already started forming a plan in his mind, something that he was used to from getting into fights with many people back on earth.

Back then, he was fighting over more than ten people while being alone. And he did that not using pure strength but with his sharp mind and strategic thinking.

He started contemplating how to effectively use his weak body and defeat the intruders.

'I don't have any skills that could help with fighting, so I better create a new one.'

'System, how many skill points do I have left?'

[Skill Points: 130]

'Nice. Now for a good fighting skill...'

Felix closed his eyes and imagined what kind of skill he should create to handle the situation.

'Think...think...'
