[Creature: Goblin
Description: A low-level type of monster, who was known for its grotesque appearance, greenish skin, and vicious, cunning, and sadistic.
Note: Once you see them, check twice if they died, or they can grab you along with them on the journey to hell.]
Of course, Isaac knew the hell of them. They are low-level, but they were the most hated monster in the early level of the game. Newbies always fall from their tricks, like playing dead, and embarrassingly Isaac was one of them. The System probably trying to warn him out of sincerity, but Isaac felt it was for him to remember the humiliation the goblin brought on him.
Isaac even remembered many NPC’s issuing missions regarding the goblin. The most tragic of them all was a father issuing a mission for an adventurer to save his daughter, who was abducted by the goblin. The father and the child only wanted to have their joyous moments by spending their time on a picnic, but due to his ignorant. He didn’t know they were near the dungeon. It was then a goblin, who was on a mission to loot resources outside, saw them and immediately returned back to his cave, calling his other friends.
The father fought hard but was defeated by the sheer quantity of goblins. The latter kept sneering at him, and they even throw him far from the dungeon once the father was knocked out. The father immediately called the guards for help but ignored them. The guards even pointed out how useless he was, for him to be a father who couldn’t even protect his daughter. Deeply saddened and lamented himself, he could only go back to his ramshackle and tried to find something valuable inside, but it was only a broken piece of an object, which held no value according to his understanding.
However, it was only something valuable he had, because the object had been passed by his ancestors to his descendants. He could only hope the adventurer’s association would accept his request, and they posted it on the mission board quest. But three days passed and no one accepted it. After all, entering a dungeon that needed a party with a better individual and teamwork quality was rare, and no one would accept a mission that didn’t benefit them much. Therefore, the father could only cry straight for three days and nights. Thankfully, Isaac accepted it and ventured inside the dungeon. However, the result was he couldn’t kill the boss alone, nor rescued the daughter of the child.
However, he found an object which belonged to the child and gave it to the father. The latter couldn’t be more grateful than him and kept thanking Isaac despite failing to save his daughter. The father even kneeled and cry filled with gratitude. The father personally handed the item from the mission reward, and Isaac accepted it. If there would be an option to reject it, Isaac might have done it.
“It should only be supposed a story in the game, yet it made me cry.” Isaac was reminiscing about it. “In the end, the item I received was actually a fragment of a legendary item!
If only the adventurers were aware of the actual value of the item, the dungeon might have been devoured by the greedy adventurers.”
Isaac chuckled lightly at his thought.
“Well, unless the adventurer association also didn’t covet it. Could they receive such a temptation though?”
Isaac wasn’t sure of how the storyline would go, since even the adventurer’s association was also an NPC, and even the president was among them. However, he couldn’t guarantee the adventurer’s association would change the reward to equal value. For instance, gold coins should amount to an equal value to the fragmented legendary item.
While Isaac was reminiscing and murmuring about the past quest he had, which thankfully made him forget the embarrassing moments in history. The goblin finally arrived before the wild boar tusk corpse. Not an hour has passed since the time of its death, so it wasn’t rotted yet, nor the bacteria had gone to its body. Therefore, when the goblins inspected the corpse, it actually became cautious of its surroundings, making sure the predator was already gone.
It heaved a sigh of relief when its senses didn’t heighten up as it listened to the tranquility of the surroundings. It reached out to the corpse and massaged it. It was then it realized there was no blood on its body, causing it to be alarmed. It immediately stood up and ran to report the unusual corpse to its chief.
Meanwhile, Isaac watched the scene unfold as he continued to understand the goblin from his perspective. It was hard for him to adjust to his new vision even though it had been some time since he was having it. After all, he saw the goblin move but understood nothing of it. He could only connect them based on his understanding of them.
In the end, he wasn’t exactly sure, so he decided to ask the system for something.
“System, can you show me what the goblin was feeling at the moment with analysis skills?”
This time he decided to mention the system for he knew it wouldn’t reply if he didn’t.
[The host wanted to evolve the skill, Analysis. Attempting… Failed. The host needed to awaken the mentioned skills. Enhanced thinking, Split consciousness, Clear vision.]
Hearing the demanding skills when he only wanted the system to comply with his wishes, Isaac was dumbfounded. After all, some skills probably needed a requirement that was impossible to meet.
Enhanced thinking? What are the ridiculous requirements to unlock that skill? Split consciousness? can I split it in a half with a sharp object? Clear vision? All I see are shapes and thermal bodies of a living being for god’s sake!
He screamed in his thoughts before deciding to move on as he saw the goblin suddenly run. One of the reasons why he didn’t take a move against the gobbling was because he knew it would eventually come back to its base to call for help. Because the goblin wasn’t enough to carry the cadaver back to their base.
However, why does the goblin was running with great speed? As though its life was depending on how fast he was?
“He’s probably so eager to report such a feast to its boss. It might have been wanting to get a promotion!”
Unbeknownst to him, the goblin was actually running because it wanted to report the information regarding a monster, who completely devoured the beast. If he was aware that his existence would come to light, who knows what reaction would he be having?
While a goblin rushes back to its base, a mosquito had been following him since then. He wasn’t aware because the mosquito made sure that the sound of his flapping wings would never reach the ears of the goblin. He once even wished he was an owl instead.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and decided to talk with the system while never letting his focus be left on the running goblin.
“System, can I have the skills to silent my annoying wings?”
[The host wants to unlock the skill according to his desire. Searching… Found. Extra skill, Silent flap needed to meet the requirements mentioned. Flapped ten times without making a sound.]
For some reason, Isaac couldn’t stop laughing inside at the name of the skills. If only his mouth could be opened, he might be laughing hysterically at any moment. Unknowingly, despite Isaac kept laughing at the skill and talking to the system, his focus never wavered as his distance from the mosquito was still the same.
Ding!
[You have learned the unique skill, Enhanced thinking.]
Isaac was left speechless.
“I have acquired a skill just like that?” When he came to his senses, the goblin finally stopped before a wall. Isaac was surprised to see a shape and outline of a dungeon wall before the goblin. “It seems the goblin reach a dead end.” Isaac pondered as he immediately got frantic when he saw the goblin’s little circle shape turning to face him. He immediately decided to take action not to be seen by it. “System, activate charge skill!” [You have activated the skill, Charge.] As the goblin turned its head hastily due to its panic, Isaac didn’t notice his thoughts working faster than before. He called for the system to activate his skill in 0.0005 seconds, causing the system to respond in the same way. Halfway through the goblin’s turning its head, the skill has been activated. However, Isaac knew he had messed up. Due to his thoughts moving faster than reality, his mind and body failed to react in a single moment. However, thanks to Isaac’s quick reactions, he managed to point
The small goblin entered the village, and he saw his kin having their leisurely life. Some children were swinging their swords diligently, while others were playing with their same age. Most of the kids were doing mischievous things to the Elder, for which they would be scolded afterward.Meanwhile, the adult and married ones were gossiping with nonsense news, clearly, they were women. And while Men were talking about how great their dragon was, which subdued their partners in bed.The small goblin passes through them, and his panicking face does not escape the other goblin’s eyes. They couldn’t help but ponder what he was panicking about, and once they saw the direction he was heading. They couldn’t help but be affected as well. After all, the small goblin was heading to the Chief’s abode location.The small goblins were clearly heading there to report for something. The small goblins were also kind of famous in the village. He was known for venturing outside, scavenging even little
An hour earlier, the two guard’s voices sounded inside the hut. However, the village chief was conversing with someone, so it took an hour for the village chief to be completely annoyed about the guards and decided to shut them up.In addition, the inside of the hut was considerably vast. After all, instead of calling it a chief’s hut, it would be more suited to call it the headquarters. The chief would sometimes gather people inside to converse in an important conversation. While he would let other people work inside the hut to supervise their progress.Similar to now, the village chief was conversing with the most important person in the village. The village chief was talking about the person’s progress regarding his progression of magic, but he was disappointed to receive the report. He couldn’t hasten him, though, for he doesn’t have power enough to act like it.The village chief was respectful, and each of his tones was polite and formal. Therefore, when he received disappointing
“You’re exaggerating him.” The old goblin looked at the village chief, smiling like an idiot, and shook his head from his silliness. “Do you know why I’m confident?”The village chief nodded his head, and the sparkling eyes didn’t escape the old goblin’s vision. He didn’t mind it because he knew the village chief was obsessed with his magic. Or rather, the village chief was hungry for such power.“Watch me, then.”The old goblin sneered in confidence, before opening his mouth as he was muttering gibberish incomprehensible words. The village chief knew what he was doing even though he understood nothing about what the old goblin was saying.The old goblin was chanting to summon the power of magic!The village chief couldn’t help but imagine himself doing the exact same thing and then summoning a power out of magic. He even imitated the old goblin once when the old goblin summoned a fireball that incinerated the target. It was also fast, even though he knew he could react, but with tens
[You have learned the skill, Silent Flap.] “Finally!” After spending five hours flapping his wings, Isaac finally gained the skill he desired. Although he didn’t acquire the chain skill from the combination of the split-consciousness and enhanced thinking, it didn’t discourage him. “It’s probably because I can use them however I want. I don’t even need the system’s consent to activate them.” Passive skills are a special type of skill that differed from others, especially normal skills. They were always active and sometimes only triggered once a specific condition had been met. They didn’t need to be activated because they would only activate on their own. Although there was a clear distinct difference between the passive skills and the Split consciousness and Enhanced thinking of Isaac, he felt they were similar. “Anyhow, now that I acquired the skills. I can now stealthily enter the village and explore what’s inside!” Isaac hovered in the back of the village, so he had to fly a
Isaac once offended his classmates because he was told to follow her. It should be nothing noteworthy in the school, but his classmate felt disgusted by his personality. The girl saw his friend and chatted with her for five minutes, but Isaac felt impatient and grabbed the girl’s hand, and it immediately left a bad taste in the other girl.Isaac had always been impatient that he treated seconds as minutes. Time was gold, his motto. Therefore, he grew annoyed by the system’s demand for acquiring skills only he invested time. However, Isaac always moved on rather than wasting time complaining about it.“I should follow him then.” Isaac set his eye locked on the small goblin. “He seemed to have a loud-talking mouth. If I followed someone introverted, then I might spend weeks learning the skill.”Isaac silently followed the small goblin running while carrying something on his chest. The other goblin looked at him as they smiled, but some gave him an envious stare. Thankfully, no one follo
[Creature: GoblinDescription: A girl goblin who experienced a fever for half a year.Note: The system detected a malfunction in her soul. The system couldn’t find the source, but here is the list of results.The little goblin is experiencing a soul attack. Chances of happening – 15%There is another soul occupying inside the little goblin and is awakening – 30%The actual soul of the little goblin is dead and used as a vessel for a soul to reincarnate – 20%There is only a single soul inside the little goblin, and that was the reincarnated being – 35%]Isaac carefully studied all the results from the system’s findings. He was stunned to the point he almost forgot to control the limb on his back. Thankfully, he was quick-witted to immediately flap his wings, denying his impending doom."The fourth option has the highest percentage. In addition, three of the option was about the soul thing, which should be the underlying reason she was sick. And for half a year?!"Isaac felt pity for t
“As expected.” Isaac sighed. “I didn’t know the goblin village is about to face its impending doom. Who would have thought they are dumber than humans? Well, back then. Citizens were easy to deceive by the government, but it was only because they doesn’t have a choice. While here… I have nothing to say.” Isaac looked at the little girl goblin with pity. He also looked at her big brother and later learned his name was Ink. He couldn’t help but feel sympathy for their future since even his big brother doesn’t have the power to change their faith. “In addition, even if I wanted to protect them. I might only bring myself harm. After all, who would have thought the greatest nemesis of the goblin is my race? If it isn’t because of my cautious attitude, I might not be alive and flying right now.” Isaac chuckled lightly and concluded that from now on, he would always be cautious wherever he went, especially now he was inside such a large dungeon. Even the hidden door is enough to be a lower
