In the centre of the building was a crystal orb, seeing which, Axel's eyes lit up with joy. This was something that only appeared in special maps, like camps, and it was the very reason these maps were called special maps.
Without any hesitation, he picked up the item and put it in his inventory before picking up all the useful weapons, and anything else he thought could be useful, before beginning his search for the survivors. He was no longer in a rush to search for them after obtaining that item, since no more goblins would spawn without his consent, at least, within the camp.
Originally, goblins would spawn within the camp, before leaving it and exploring the rest of the map. But now, he had taken control of the camp through that item, and therefore the mobs in the map would now switch to randomized spawning, just like the Vain Grasslands. With a normal boss monster spawning randomly instead of the Variant Goblin.
Soon enough, he came across an oddly placed animal skin, and moved it aside, revealing nothing but the normal floor.
'This should be a secret passage. I'll need to find a switch that connects to it in order to open it… or'
Axel removed a goblin club and began hitting the wooden floor, and soon enough, it broke open.
Since this was something created by goblins, it was not made very well, just a simple wooden board with a lock on it that connected to a switch somewhere in the room.
Therefore, instead of wasting his time searching for the switch, Axel simply broke through the board and discovered crudely made stairs that led underground.
If this had been a party raid, most of the members would have fought with the goblins on the outside of the main building, while Thief of the party would have snuck in, searched for the secret passage and its switch, activated it, entered it and saved everyone from the underground prison, before leaving this place with his party.
In fact, this method would be the main method for most maps except special maps like this camp due to the existence of the crystal orb. Once someone took it, no more goblins would spawn within the camp. Furthermore, it had multiple other uses
Axel quickly climbed down the stairs into an incredibly dark and confined passage that had been dug straight into the earth with no sort of reinforcement, meaning that it could collapse at any moment.
However, that did not stop him as he quickly made his way through the tunnel. Since this was made rather crudely, it was unlikely for there to be traps, and therefore he just ran through it all. Soon enough, he reached a slight opening in the tunnel, an underground room, with nearly 40 people tied with vines.
Seeing the newcomer was not a goblin but a human, the eyes of the various people present widened with hope.
Not disappointing them, Axel took out one of the goblin daggers he had looted and began to cut the people free. Unfortunately, 4 people had already died, and he decided to give them a proper burial once they left this place.
Since they were 'survivor' NPCs, they obediently followed Axel's instructions and followed him to the surface, where some of them burst out into tears from seeing the sun and breathing in fresh air after a long time.

[Unknown Username Tag]
==========
He had received plenty of good loot for his current level, and furthermore, he had even received the [Unknown Username Tag], which was essentially an item that gave a player the power to hide his username from not just players but also NPC, making himself seem like an NPC. Furthermore, he could also allow certain people to see his username, or see a fake username whenever he wanted, and keep different names for different people.
There were ways to counter such things, like [Eye of Truth] or other similar skills or items with similar effects, but all of these would only be made available to people after they reached Lv 50. Until then, this was basically an overpowered item.
In his previous life, there had been only 2 such items within each server, which were only brought to the public's attention when the skills to counter this were revealed. In his own server, the other item was on the other side of the world, and therefore, inside the entire domain of Light, he was the only one with such an item, with others having no way to comprehend what he had.
A smirk appeared on Axel's face as he crushed the item in his hands and it formed a traceless energy that swirled around his body before reaching his name that was hovering above his head, and removing it completely, making him no different to an NPC.
After this incredible gain, Axel turned around to check the two quests he had received.
