After lying down on the cold, hard floor for a while, Fred got up and dusted himself of the dirt that got into his clothes.
He went to the body that is slowly dissipating with countless particles into the air.
This is something that did not happen back on that first dungeon he entered.
In there, the body did not just suddenly dissolve into nothing.
Even though this is his first time seeing this, Fred did not seem surprised about it. He actually look calm and waited patiently at the side.
That is because he already know what this is. It's a process that is quite similar to those RPG games where the body of a subjugated monster will be replaced by the "loot" from it.
It did not happen back on his first dungeon, because that was just the lowest rating dungeon.
Even if Fred don't know of the rating of this dungeon he is currently in, he can still guess that it's much higher rating than the lowest one.
Soon the giant body fully dissolved, in place of it, is a pack of cigarettes and a necklace with bones in it.
Fred picked both of it and used appraisal.
[Kapre's Cigarettes: This is a cigarette from the Kapre who love smoking. Smoking this will bring a calming effect and enlightening will come in for the whole duration of the smoke.
Properties: Calming (A), Enlightenment (A), Cool (S)]
[Brutal Necklace: A necklace made out of the bones of the brutal Kapre monster. It gives the user some strength and the skill [Bloodthirsty]
Properties: Bloodthirsty (B), Strength +10]
Fred hold the loot with his hand as he look at the properties it have.
With just one look he felt that these two things will both be really helpful items in his everyday life and in increasing his strength although it will just be minimal.
But still, he can't help but make a strange face after he saw the [Cool (S)] on the properties of the [Kapre's Cigarettes].
He was wondering why is there a "Useless" skill attached to one of the items.
After he got a look at the two items, fixed himself up as some parts of his have dust accumulating in it.
Then he look around, he saw that there is nothing else in here except for the blood and body parts that is scattered on the ground.
There's also no other paths beside the one he came from.
With that, he concludes this dungeon dive finish and it's time to get back up from the surface.
He was here for an hour or almost two hours.
Fred walked a lot and was also minding the pressure, that he now knows, was coming from the "Boss", which is the Kapre.
So with that, he is now very tired, like hella tired.
Fred took a deep breath and exhaled loudly before he turn around to the path he came from.
This time he did not just walk, he started running fast back to the surface.
30 minutes later, Fred is finally out of the dungeon, he is back to the warehouse and saw that the thugs are complete not one missing.
Fred searches for a phone on the pants of some of the thugs and called the police when he got one.

Meanwhile, back when Fred was just about to enter the dungeon.
His Bluetube Channel is exploding!
"Woah! Is this real!?"
"This all seems legit!"
"This channel looks like it's a traveling vlog channel."
"Holy sh*t! That snatcher LOL!"
"XD being at the location where a volcano erupted HAHA!"
"Is the vlogger a superhuman?"
"He even have vids inside a dungeon, tho, it looks like it's just a low rank dungeon."
All kind of comments filled his every video that he posted starting from the one where he was at the Taal Lake.
Even his past videos got some attention and views are increasing but not as crazy as those latest ones.
In just an hour, a few of his videos rose through the trending of the Bluetube as well as on other social media sites like Chipper which is just like twitter from his real world and many other site where people are able to share the videos on.
The people behind Bluetube noticed this and immediately recommended it on the front page of the site to bring more heat to them.
"What are you people still sitting around for!? Start working!" shouted the Directors of the Bluetube to their respective teams.
After they started calling what seems to be a higher up of the company and sent pictures of Fred through email and the likes.
Fred's face spread to the executives of the Bluetube Company and then they also sent them to some obviously special looking numbers like, 88888... 999999.... 66666.... etc.
As for what the conversation is about, that is for another chapter in the future, but all you need to know is that something big is happening, so big that it involves the whole World and the Universe even.

In a land full of beautiful nature, with everything be it flora or fauna are living in harmony, a flawless girl with milky white skin is sitting beside a humongous tree.
She look at the tree, and used her white jade like hand to touch it's strong, rough body and caress it.
She wears a thin white clothing, it is as plain as it's told but when she wears it, it looks like a heavenly dress that is specially made for her.
The beautiful girl or more appropriate to say, woman open her mouth and spoke.
"It's been 300 years, isn't Ban?" she said to the tree, her voice was like dazzling bells that chime with the soft breeze that comes from afar.
The tree that she was caressing swayed two times as if it's nodding to her. There was no wind to make the tree move, so this is a very fascinating scene.
The lady shifted her sight to the vast land far away, and longing appeared on her eyes.
"I wonder how he is now?" she whispered.
A cool breeze blew pass her and her hair was blown because of it, making a very ethereal scene.
"I wish to go beside you right now... Fred."
