“What is this—- place?” Leo unconsciously asked. A fire was flickering above his palm to light up the place they were in....at the moment.
While following a narrow path of the secret passage, Ronny, Stonehard, and Leo found themselves inside——- “a chamber?!” The three exclaimed in their thoughts.
They saw rows of chairs in descending order. They noticed a stage too at the front downstairs. The room seems like a theatrical hall.
“Hmmmn, I think this place used to be an Underground Auction,” Ronnie voiced out.

“Probably, I heard, before this town overrun by monsters, this town used to be the nesting place of the notorious syndicate organization that operates various illegal businesses,” Ronny said while trying to squish some information out of his memory.
“Is that so? Meaning, this town has its share of dark secrets,” Leo asked while rolling his eyes to get a full glimpse of the place they were in, currently.
“Mhm. Well, that’s what I heard. In any case, stories like that were easy to fabricate,” Ronny nodded.

“Those stories might be true, seeing this now, ” Leo added.

On the ceiling, crystal-like lamps, were hanging in order. These lamps supposed to be bright when it shines, but now, they were dead.
“Looks like nothing unusual here,” Stonehard voiced out.
“Hmmm..... This place is already unusual for me, ” Ronny said.

“Let’s try checking those doors,” Ronny said while pointing the doors located at the corner of the stage. One door at the left and one also on the right side.
Ronny took a torch from his backpack. He lighted it up with Leo’s fire and went to the door located at the right corner of the stage. On the other hand, Leo and Stonehard went to the left side.
Right at this moment, already 10 minutes have passed since Yeman tamed the Elder rat. He was busy scrutinizing his Window-Interface. A newly added settings have appeared. It’s about taming skill.
The Elder rat still sitting on a shabby chair, but it’s not struggling anymore. And it’s obediently waiting for Yeman. No hostilities in its eyes. It was looking at him in regard.
‘Hmmm... So this how it is, huh. After 5 minutes have passed. A system notification appeared saying,
Tap, tap, tap——–
That’s what happened a while ago. Not only that, but I could also see my pet skills and stats. The second tier on my ‘taming skill tree’ was unlocked as well. Now, there were two new skills.
