Chapter 37 37: Discovered
"I said,
COME
OUT
YOU
BASTAAARRRRDDDDD!!!!!!!"
BANG!
BOOOOOM!!!!!!
Mat swung his great sword towards the floor and the floor caved in immediately.
Stones and dust flew into the air destroying a large number of vehicles.
Tremors occurred in the carpark and cracks formed at least 10m around Mat.
As the damage done by Mat to the underground car park kept on increasing, Corey who was far away looked at the damage done by Mat with envy.
Not fear, not astonishment, not disdain, not relief but envy.
"What kind of bullshit is this? How can a stupid guy like that have a powerful attack skill like that but I have none?"
Crack
Corey who had an envious and sad expression looked down and saw the floor crack just a feet away from his leg.
"I\'m at least 25m away from this idiot but his skill still affected this place. What kind of power is that?"
Corey muttered and the envy in his eyes increased.
He wanted a powerful offensive skill also. Most of his skills were passives and even his dagger had disadvantages whenever he fought using it.
A few seconds later Corey turned back and started looking for what he came for.
The entrance to the underground storage room.
As for how Corey got far away from Mat?
Well, that\'s simple.
After Corey turned to the right, he immediately hid underneath a minivan and just kept on crawling under any vehicle he could until he was far away from Mat.
Corey at first wanted to kill Mat through a sneak attack but after thinking about it, he realized he didn\'t have much time to waste and his chances of survival would decrease if he could not kill Mat in one move.
He knew there was a chance that the creature would come down here and he also knew that there even a possibility that Mac or even Mac and Kyle would come down here to kill him and because of that, he could not waste anymore time on Mat.
Luckily, Mat was an idiot like Corey had always been calling him and didn\'t bother checking underneath the cars or even searching properly.
Well another thing that helped Corey was the passive skill \'Undercover\'.
Because of the skill, he intuitively knew the better places to hide and also, the skill masked his presence to a certain extent when hiding.
Currently, Corey was crawling on all fours as he looked for the entrance to the storage room. He stood in a crouching position a few times to look around and just when Corey was getting anxious.
He found a metal door to his right as he passed a car. He looked at the door and saw a warning sign on it, saying it was only meant for authorized personnel.
Corey\'s eyes brightened with happiness and he moved towards it.
But just as he did, he heard a voice coming from afar.
"Mat!"
"Huh? What are you doing here brother?"
"The leader sent me."
"He said he doesn\'t want the bastard to escape since he\'s faster than you."
"So? Doesn\'t matter. He can\'t escape from my hands."
"So where is he?"
"Uhmm. About that."
Corey stopped moving towards the door hearing the two brothers speak.
He moved towards a minivan and hid behind it while taking a peek at the brothers, Mat and Mac.
He needed to know the positions of the brothers so as to be sure that none of them were facing the door.
After peeking at the brothers for a few seconds, he crouched back and crawled towards the door.
The brothers were still speaking and even almost arguing due to Mat losing sight of him.
\'Argue more and give more time.\' Corey thought as he looked at the metal door in front of him.
In his crouching position, he looked at the handle of the metal door to see whether the door required a key card to enter or a normal metal key.
This was one of the things Corey was worried about the plan he had.
He knew that if the entrance required something like a key card, or DNA as a means of identification, then he was screwed.
Though luckily for him, the door did not need any of that. It only required a normal metal key to open it.
Corey praised Lady Luck immensely in his heart and brought out a thin wire from one of the pockets of his tattered robe.
He inserted the wire into the key hole and used one of the skills he bought from the merchant.
\'Lock picking\'
Thanking lady luck once again for him choosing to buy the skill, Corey focused on the key hole as he tried to unlock it using it the thin wire.
A minute later
\'Fuck!\' Corey cursed internally.
He had been trying to open the door but he had been failing which was not actually surprising considering that:
Corey has never tried to pick a lock before today, his lock picking skill was just level 1 and Corey was anything but calm to try and pick the lock correctly.
Just as Corey was about to try again. He heard a sound.
Bam Bam Bam Bam
Corey hearing the sound was curious, so he crouched a little and looked up.
And the moment he did, he saw the tier 1 creature walk through the door to this underground parking lot.
Corey\'s eyes widened and just as he was about to bend and hide, the creature turned it\'s head and looked at Corey causing Corey to freeze on the spot, not due to fear but shock.
"…"
He looked at the creature with a blank and shocked look and the creature stared back at him.
As Corey looked into the creature\'s eyes, a word kept on repeating in his mind.
\'HOW?!!\'

IMPORTANT INFO, DON\'T SKIP. IT\'S ACTUALLY IMPORTANT, SO DON\'T SKIP. ITS ALSO LONG. SORRY ABOUT THAT
[A/N: Ahem Ahem.
First, for some of y\'all that might be wondering if it\'s every chapter Anon22 would be having an important info, it\'s not my fault you know.
The blessings and good things just keep on coming and I want to share them all with you( It\'s not money by the way, so don\'t think it\'s money. I\'m so broke at the moment. I only have around 7 dollars in my account.) :)
Moving on from that, I have various things I want, no, HAVE TO SAY!
First, if you\'ve seen the page of my book, you\'ll see that my book is now officially contracted with Webnovel. Thanks a lot for your support guys. I\'m really really grateful for every single way you have supported me and my book. I appreciate it.
Second, as I promised. I\'m going to do a few things.
Now that you can vote with golden tickets, I\'m going to do what I did previously with power stones. Which is:
For the FIRST FIVE people that drop at LEAST TWO golden tickets for my novel, I will use their NAMES in my novel and they can also request for specific wishes if they want.
ALSO, for every FIFTEEN Golden Tickets, I will drop ONE bonus chapter.
Now apart from using golden tickets. There\'s also gift.
I want to actually say something but I think I\'ll say it on another day. Anyway back to the gifts.
For every Gift that is worth at LEAST 5000 COINS. I will drop ONE bonus chapter and for the FIRST FIVE people that drop a gift worth at least 5000 coins, I will also use your names in my novel and you can request for specific wishes.
So that means, there are three ways y\'all can get bonus chapters:
15 Golden tickets = 1 Bonus chapter
30 Golden tickets= 2 Bonus Chapters
45 Golden tickets= 3 Bonus Chapters
5000 Coins= 1 Bonus Chapter
10000 Coins= 2 Bonus Chapters
150000 Coins= 3 Bonus Chapters
30 power stones= 1 Bonus Chapters
60 power stones= 2 Bonus Chapters
90 power stones= 3 Bonus Chapters
You know, when I see the numerous ways I\'ve given you guys to gain bonus chapters, cold sweat literally flows down my forehead thinking of how much writing I\'ll have to do.
Most writers don\'t give out bonus chapters unless it\'s for gifts and it\'s actually understandable because writing is very hard, especially writing every day.
Sometimes I just want to take a day off and relax but when I think of how some of you might be waiting for a new chapter, I\'m like
"Nah man. You can\'t take a break. You have to write for the readers."
So like I\'ve always been doing, I will grit my teeth and write even though I don\'t feel like or I\'m a little bit tired to give you guys those bonus chapters if you guys meet the requirements I set.
I\'m ready to work hard for you guys, so you guys should also do your part.
I BELIEVE IN YOU ALL!!!!!
Oh one last thing, it\'s actually the last.
So please guys like really PLEASE, drop gifts for me. You know I promised that until I finish the first volume, I won\'t go premium and I definitely intend to keep my promise.
But please, going premium and having privileged chapters is a very important part of how authors make their money.
So me not going premium is not because I don\'t want the money, I definitely want it, I was not joking when I said I only had around 7 dollars left.
I\'m not going premium because of you guys. So please drop gifts, even if it\'s a cola. It\'s not too small.
Thanks Y\'all and sorry for the short chapter, I\'m not fully healed yet but I\'m definitely better.
Hopefully by tomorrow, I\'ll be fully healed and I\'ll be at my best.
Have a great day/night.
