“It’s now time to find another beast to kill.” Isaac sneered. “Let’s grind!”
For some reason, Isaac felt he has a limb on his back. He tried to move it but seemed it could only move in a single direction, which was pretty simple. They also moved at the same time, and Isaac felt confused about its usefulness.
It did not long after Isaac was struck with a sudden realization, and the previous exhilaration he felt descended to his being once more.
“Could it be?” Isaac's two big round eyes shone with countless lenses. “A-wings? I have wings? I have wings!”
Isaac then ordered the limbs on his back to flap, and it indeed moved! Isaac felt he moved forward slightly, which confirmed his guesses. He shrieked in happiness.
“So that’s why!”
Isaac remembered when he was battling the wild boar tusk earlier. He thought the limb on his back was the limb below his body, the legs. After all, he uses it to maneuver around, and he doesn’t have much time to ponder over it, for his mind was completely muddled from the bloodlust.
Isaac felt excited to control his wings and ordered them to flap without stopping. It moved according to his desires, and Isaac then looked below and saw he was moving upward! Isaac’s mind was enthralled by exhilaration, making him lose control of his wings and stumble to the ground.
Once stopped, Isaac felt the awkwardness of the situation and immediately stand up, looking in every direction, and tried to make sure no one saw him. It was embarrassing, to say the least, for his stupidity and dumbness brought him embarrassment.
He couldn’t be blamed though. Whose man didn’t dream of having wings and flying along with them? It was every man’s dream and desire to fly in the sky, which brought air transportation today in Isaac’s previous modern world.
Isaac took a minute to calm down, before practicing flying without much problem. He feared once he made mistakes amidst the hovering, if the height was enough to kill him, he couldn’t stand himself to die again in embarrassing moments.
It didn’t long before Isaac mastered the art of flying, as he continued to hover around, exploring the world he was transmigrated. Sooner, Isaac realized he was inside the dungeon due to the outlines of the terrain, which hid him from the outside world. Isaac didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Was it good for him he was transmigrated right away inside the dungeon or not?
Possibly the question was answered by how Isaac felt.
“Now that I can maneuver around without a problem. I should hunt another wild boar tusk now,” Isaac thought. “This will be considered my first kill, considering I killed the wild boar tusk earlier only because of the blood lust. It influenced my mind, and I only think of killing the beast with a single aim.”
While Isaac kept playing the blurry scene about killing the wild boar tusk earlier. He came across a pair of them, peacefully eating the grass while swaying their tails to keep off the annoying flies. Their pair of tusks curved upward, while their round two-hole nose stuck out in the middle.
Their body was bulk, possibly enough for a human to deal an enormous blow once they tried to receive the wild boar tusk’s skill. Unless they have the skills to enhance their strength or defense to handle the wild boar tusk without a problem.
Compared with Isaac, who could hover and maneuver around with his little body. The skill, Charge, of the wild boar tusk, was practically useless against him. It was also one of the reasons why he managed to suck the blood of the wild boar tusk earlier alive. The wild boar tusk was as hopeless in such a situation as it could only helplessly wait for its death, feeling the torture against Isaac’s skill, Mosquito bite.
“Oh sheesh,” Isaac exclaimed in his thought. “I should try not to make a sound. Seeing the annoying flies bothering them, I can probably stealthily make my way without a problem.”
Isaac saw there were two of them from his unique perspective. As expected, he was familiar with the color and outline of such a beast and concluded it belonged to a wild boar tusk. However, it seemed there was a pair of them. Isaac felt conflicted.
“I should take this slowly.” Isaac calmly reminded in his mind, breathing out to calm himself. “There’s no need to be hasty. Unless I’m some kind of maniac who wanted to level up immediately.”
Isaac formed a plan in his mind, and once he decided. He patiently waited until everything was in order.
“Once everything is in place. It will be up to me how well I can play my part.”
Isaac once played a game of chess online. Chess was so engaging to him, so he studied it thoroughly to the point he became a Grandmaster. Isaac felt chess was similar to everything generally, whether life, games, wars, etc. Therefore, he always saw everything from the perspective as though he was playing a game of chess, watching every chess piece played on the chess board.
Although, in his current circumstance. There were no kings, considering he only needed to kill two wild boar tusks to level up. He felt the two of them could be a king, queen, and other officials, depending on what moves the two would take. Hence, Isaac thoroughly his enemies and himself before engaging in battle.
This was the art of war.
“The plan is set.” Isaac sneered at his thought. “It’s time to make a move.”
The pair of wild boars, which was eating earlier not far away from each other, weren’t together anymore. The grass was the cause, because of how the grass grow inside the dungeon. There was no farmer to take them. In addition, there was no sunlight for them to grow, but due to the water coming below the scattered soil, they grew.
They scattered inside the dungeon, which inevitably made the wild boar tusk didn’t notice they were apart from each other. Once the other died silently without alarming the other one, they could be taken out without a problem, but for Isaac, it was a slight hinder to his plan.
“How can I kill one of them without alarming the other?”
However, it didn’t mean Isaac didn’t realize the problem, for he had already formed a counter plan. Yet the probability of success, he didn’t know.
“I don’t know the effectiveness of my new skill yet, charge. Although this can also be a way to study them through combat, it also increased the uncertainty of the result.”
While Isaac was thinking, his focus didn’t waver on the pair of wild boar tusks. When the plan was in motion, he hesitated no more. He flapped his wings and moved! But he didn’t attack yet. It was now time to study how his vision works.
“My vision is similar to the thermal vision. This should be the reason why I can still see through the dark. Though, I don’t know if it is really dark here.”
Isaac imitated the annoying flies, which surprisingly didn’t bother him but only the wild boar tusk. The latter didn’t suspect anything, which made Isaac continue to study his vision without a problem. He realized he could even see the veins and the blood flow inside the wild boar tusk's body. He was surprised as he thought he might be a vampire.
“I must be in the bat form.”
Isaac chuckled but dismissed his thought. After all, he couldn’t even see his wings, so how could he be in the body of a bat?
Isaac continued to study the wild boar tusk body and didn’t long until he saw its beating heart. He thought, if he activated the other skill, and devour the blood which was the center of it, it should be enough to kill the wild boar tusk silently, right?
“System, can you calculate the success probability of killing the beast combine with charge and my other skill targeting its beating heart?”Isaac decided to ask the system without much thought. He didn’t think that depending on the system might be considered biased. Isaac didn’t feel guilty about it. Some might think having a system, while others don’t, was a cheat, but it didn’t mean he wouldn’t make use of the blessings he received, right?It was like you were asking a child, birthed by a noble parent, to stop depending on them. It was ridiculous, to say the least. It wasn’t his fault he was born with an astonishing background. The same situation applies to Isaac; the system chooses him, so he should make use of it.[Analyzing is in the process…] [Analysis complete. Data has been gathered.The wild boar tusk had an enormous body, and it was disadvantaged against little creature….]Isaac continued to listen regarding the system’s thoughts and didn’t hasten to direct
“Activate the chain skill.”Isaac hovered before the other wild boar tusk, peacefully eating the grass scattered in the ground of the dungeon. Their stomach was enormous that even an hour of eating grass couldn’t satisfy them. Thankfully, the grass was almost common at every place, since the current place was home to the beast.[You have activated the Chain skills, Charge > Mosquito bite.]Currently, there was no thread, which showed the path for Isaac to take earlier. Isaac kept his vision to the beating heart of the wild boar tusk, feeling nervous for the first time. However, with the aid of the chain skill, all Isaac needed to do was to keep his consciousness awake, making sure the mosquito bite would activate once he pierced the heart.The performance ended splendidly without a hitch. The wild boar tusk died, landing on the ground without understanding what had happened. As expected, the carcass was devoid of blood, for it was absorbed entirely by Isaac, who immediately digested i
[Creature: GoblinDescription: 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
“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
