Chapter 6: Rogues Do It From Behind

The smell of alcohol and meat greeted Agent 30 as he entered the cave entrance. He could hear some muffled noises farther down the passage. He made his way forward, sticking as close as he could to the shadows. Eventually he reached a fork in the passage where a lone guard stood. He had a bored look on his face as chewed on his finger nails.

Agent 30 concentrated hard, trying to see if he could perceive any other guards nearby. As he was straining his senses to the max, he heard the voice in his head again.

**Life Detect skill obtained. Auto activated.**

He suddenly had an odd sensation in the direction of the guard, closing his eyes he found he could still "sense" that he was there. It was like a tingling feeling.

[Spidey sense! Time to start shooting sticky white stuff all over the bad guys! I mean the good white stuff, not the bad kind! Never mind!]

As his eyes were closed he could not sense anyone else nearby. Gambling on the idea that this "Life Detect" skill had a decent range, he immediately threw the dagger in his hand, embedding it in between the guards eyes. The guard fell to the floor and remained motionless, no one seemed to have noticed his demise.

He quickly moved forward, taking the dagger back and wiping it off on the guards clothes. After dragging the body into a dark corner of the corridor he arrived back at the fork. He closed his eyes again and sensed that there were many people to the left, but only 1 to the right. The one on the right also seemed "brighter" than the rest.

[Probably the boss of the bandits or someone in charge if brighter means stronger. Guess I should take them out first, take out the head and all. Even Grimace said you should aim for the head!]

When he made it to the end of the right passage he found a shoddy wooden door. Peeking through the cracks in the door he saw a woman. She was naked, blindfolded, bent over the edge of a bed, and her hands and feet were tied to the posts.

[What kind of kinky shit is this!?! Well at least she is already immobilized I guess?]

He closed his eyes again, verifying no one else was around, and that she was definitely the person he sensed earlier.

"Definitely her...", he whispered to himself.

Making up his mind he opened the door and entered the room. She seemed to have noticed his entrance.

Bound Woman: "Are you finally back you piece of shit?!? What kind of man are you, I gave you this chance and you only lasted a few pumps then ran away! I might as well of gotten that pretty lass from the merchant convoy to eat me out if I knew you couldn't handle this! What? Nothing to say?!? Say something! Or are you going to try again you 2 pump chump?!?"

Agent 30 confirmed that this woman was definitely the boss of this place. The room was too clean and had a few items that looked valuable spread around, a massive contrast to what he had seen so far. It also didn't stink in here and the woman was quite well groomed. All these things pointed to her having status among this group, but most importantly her attitude was incredibly domineering. Only someone in charge would say things like that.

[Hahhhhh, if only it wasn't such a risky situation... I'd show you! I'd have at least 10 pumps! That's good right? Double digits and all?]

As he got closer to her from behind, Agent 30 could more clearly make out her back side as he took out his dagger.

[must... not... touch... other... things... to do....but it is so tanned and rou...]

Interrupting himself mid thought, Agent 30 lunged at the woman. Sensing something was wrong the woman tried to turn her head around and screamed.

Bound Woman: "You aren't Clement! There is no way that dickless twat wouldn't have answered me by now! WHO ARE YOU?!? FACE ME YOU COWARD!!!"

Ignoring the woman, he drove the dagger into the back of her head. He continued pressing the dagger into her head as he held her flailing body down with his body weight. She was a lot more robust than the guard, able to still move after the attack. It was like she was trying to buck him off in her last moments.

[Sorry, I can't face you, after all rogues do it from behind.]

**You have leveled up. You are now level 2.**

[Huh?]
