[THE BOSS HAS APPEARED!]
The skeleton had an arch back and was short just like every other goblin Arthur saw. The skeleton had a dark robe covering it and a wooden stick that looked like a tree branch in its right hand.CLACK CLACKThe skeleton moved its mouth as if it was trying to say something but the only thing Arthur could hear was the clacking sound that came from the skeleton’s mouth.“Status.”_______________________________[MOB STATUS][CURRENT STATUS: NONE][NAME: UNDEAD GOBLIN MAGE][JOB: MAGE][RACE: GOBLIN][LVL:2][HP:20/20][MP:30/30][SPEED: 1][AGILITY: 2][STRENGTH: 1][STAMINA:1][DEFENCE:1][DESCRIPTION: TALENTED GOBLIN MAGE.]_______________________________[SKILLS][PASSIVE(NONE)][MAGIC:999+][ADVANCE BLACK MAGIC: SSS+]_______________________________“Amazing…a skeleton goblin mage…but is this even a stat of a boss?Seems pretty weak to me.”Arthur immediately dashed towards the goblin mage and attempted to throw a punch to destroy the goblin boss and finish the tutorial.But before Arthur could even get close to the goblin mage.CLACK CLACK CLACK…The black vapor that the skeleton mage came out from once again appeared in front of Arthur causing him to halt his steps.The closer he came closer towards the black vapor the more he felt disgusted.The vapor didn’t have any distinct smell but it made Arthur feel filthy, and as he sniffed the vapor, it felt dusty like smelling the smoke that came out of burnt cigarettes. This caused Arthur to back off a few steps.The black vapor settled down… “More undead goblins?” There was a team of undead goblins that appeared after the black vapor disappeared. Their number was by no means significant compared to the fights that he was recently in.“Only 10?” Arthur was confused. “There must be something special with these undead goblins… “Status”.”_______________________________[STATUS][NAME: UNDEAD GOBLIN][JOB: JOBLESS][RACE: GOBLIN][LVL: 1][HP: 40/40][MP: 0/0][SPEED: 8][AGILITY: 6][STRENGTH: 3][STAMINA: 21][DEFENCE: 0]_______________________________[SKILLS][PASSIVE][GOBLIN DAGGER ARTS: 6]_______________________________“This is almost the same as all the other goblins? It looks like their stats might even be weaker than the average goblins..”
The goblin mage pointed at Arthur and the other undead goblins attacked Arthur.
Shoo!Arthur kicked, punched, and did everything he could but he couldn’t touch the goblins…not even once. He felt like a newbie soccer player who is trying to get the ball from experienced players. The goblins even managed to attack Arthur from behind lowering his health slowly but surely.“What?!” Arthur was turning around trying to punch a goblin that was nearest to him but they managed to dodge Arthur’s attacks.
‘I’m faster, stronger, more agile, I even have more stamina than them…’ Arthur thought. ‘But why can I not touch them even ONCE ?!’ Despite the goblins having 21 stamina points… Arthur was getting tired but the goblins weren’t.
“Seriously… What’s going on!?” Arthur couldn’t understand why he was being outclassed by weaker and slower beings. It didn’t make sense to him.
“Human! Look at their pattern! Look at how they move!” The goblin knight shouted.
Arthur stopped attacking the undead goblins while maintaining a defensive position and paid close attention to the goblins.‘The mage isn’t moving at all and is being protected by four undead goblins, two in front of the mage and the other one on its left side, and one on its right side.’‘Meanwhile, the other six goblins are surrounding me in a circle… it doesn’t seem to be a simple circle…’“Ah!” Arthur finally realized the concept behind the goblin’s movement.The goblins moved around in circles. And one goblin would be the closest to Arthur, they would be close enough for Arthur to attack but if they take one step back, Arthur would surely miss no matter how fast he was. After Arthur would fail to attack the undead goblin, another undead goblin would attack from the back of Arthur. And they would repeat the same process repeatedly.
Arthur now knowing the pattern of their movement repeated what he did previously. He attacked the goblin near him, and just like what happened previously, the goblin took a step back and dodged it easily. However, Arthur knew this and equipped the heavy sword that barely does any damage and swung it like a hammer toward the undead skeleton goblin. The sword didn’t do much damage but it was the strength that Arthur applied that destroyed the skeleton goblin easily.
As the circle formation was broken by the variable that was Arthur’s heavy sword, Arthur easily destroyed the other skeleton goblins. All that was left now is the boss. The goblin mage.
All the undead skeleton goblin was gone; the mage who was the only enemy left raised its hand and fire came out of the palm of its hands. Arthur dodged it but he was met with another similar fire attack, but unfortunately for him, couldn’t dodge this attack and got hit by the fiery attack. The fire passed through him and he only felt the heat of the attack and the fire burnt him quite a bit. But the attack wasn’t quite simple. Inside of the fire, an orb-like black vapor similar to what the goblin mage used to summon the undead skeleton goblins gave a strong hammer-like feeling towards Arthurs’s body sending Arthur flying backward two meters back.
The fire burnt him but he couldn’t feel as much pain as he expected. And there was very little damage that he took from the attack.
“Weird…” He looked at the skeleton goblin mage just standing still not moving one bit.“Status”[MP:0/30]Seeing that the goblin mage didn’t have any MP left to fight, Arthur ran towards it and attacked it with his heavy and blunt sword. He crushed the goblin mage’s body pretty easily and the bones dropped to the floor while slowly turning to dust, never to be seen again.[YOU HAVE DEFEATED THE BOSS!]
[100 EXP EARNED!][20 SKILL POINTS EARNED!][20 STAT POINTS EARNED!][SHOP FEATURE UNLOCKED!][COLLECT ITEM REWARDS HIDDEN IN THE ROOM!]“Well, that’s it I guess.” Arthur rests on the floor recovering the stamina he used up to fight the undead skeleton goblins.He headed straight to the crown to take it but was blocked by the goblin knight’s longsword.“You’re stopping me again? Am I supposed to fight you to claim this crown?” Arthur asked the goblin knight.“Regardless of whether you defeat me, you are still not worthy of carrying the crown. Go ahead, try carrying it.” The goblin knight let Arthur approach the crown.Arthur who was now allowed to touch the crown came close to it and attempted to carry the beautiful crown. As he came close to it the beautiful; gems and golds drew him closer and made his heart beat faster. But there was an alluring fact about the crown, one that couldn’t be expressed through words, it was simply PERFECT in his eyes. As he touched it he felt a strange feeling that he needed the crown.“Huh?” It was heavy. He couldn’t carry it. It looked so light but in reality, it felt like attempting to carry your own body, it was simply impossible. Arthur started becoming more and more desperate using his strength even more.“Snap out of it.” The goblin knight said.Arthur’s eyes widened as he stepped away from the crown.“What happened?” Arthur asked not knowing what happened to him.“The crown has an effect that can make people drawn to it. The crown wants a master, but you are not worthy of it.”The goblin knight explained.“I see now… I’ll take everything else then.” Arthur looked around the room to find the treasures that were promised to him.It didn’t take long for him to find a treasure chest right behind the seat of the throne.The chest was wooden and it looked like a simple wooden box. It didn’t look old and had a nice and smooth look to it.Arthur opened the wooden box and he could find some gold coins, a greatsword, and a shield.[300 GOLD COINS EARNED!][BEGINNER GREATSWORD LVL.2 GAINED!][KITE SHIELD LVL.2 GAINED!]{Good job son! You should have a greatsword and a kite shield! You also received 300 gold coins, so you can now use the shop to buy some items to help you! This should be enough to guide you to the second and the third tutorial! I wish you, luck son!}“A kite shield…finally, some useful stuff.’ Arthur was thankful since he had a better shield than he previously had. The previous shield was good since it was big, however since it was big it was also heavy. A kite shield however was big enough to protect his whole body and was light.“Thats all you can get from here! But can you help me?” The goblin knight asked.‘What is it?”“Among all humans, you seem to be different from all of them, you have a strength of a titan… and I think you can help me with something..”“Get to the point.”Arthur was getting tired of listening to the goblin knight already.“I have a quest for you. The tutorial you are in is just one out of many clones. I am a will that is left by my original body to be used in this tutorial. I might be weak here but my original body is very strong. I need you to send this ring to my original body. There is information contained in this ring that I need to send him. Will you help me?” The goblin knight asked sincerely.‘The diary is not responding to this…didn’t father get this quest too?’ Arthur thought.“Is this quest an official quest? of this tutorial?” Arthur asked.“No, but I can give you items that will help you. And I can give them to you now.”“What are the items?”The goblin knight raised his hands and on them appeared a white thick clothing and a simple iron breastplate.Arthur immediately recognized the cloth.“Oh? Do you know what this is? Most humans of your kind wont even know what this is.”“It’s a gambeson.” A gambeson was a padded defensive jacket that medieval knights used. Although it was made out of wool, it could protect the user from arrow and sword attacks quite effectively.“Yes. And it will help you greatly. So will you help me?”The knight asked.Arthur thought about it and agreed since the items that were presented in front of him were too good to pass.[BEGINNER GAMBESON LVL.3 GAINED!][BEGINNER IRON BREASTPLATE LVL.2 GAINED!]“That is all you could get here. Time for you to go!” The knight said.“Yeah, thanks.”Arthur waved at the knight while exiting the room.Shoo!Suddenly Arthur was met with a lot of fast punches.“Crap! How could I forget about this guy?!” Arthur looked at the great goblin that he fought before.Pow!Pow!Pow!The punches that the goblin gave were faster than it was before and Arthur couldn’t dodge them.“Mercy! Please have mercy! SPARE ME!”Arthur was beaten down ruthlessly by the great goblin.And in the end…[HP: 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…0/400][YOU HAVE DIED]Arthur’s vision was blank, and so was his consciousness.This will be the last free chapter.

And please do leave a review. Thanks for reading my novel.
Death. An unexperienceable experience for the living. Many think that you would be void of any consciousness or feeling. Some believe that your soul goes to a place higher and greater than the land of the living, the believers of hell and heaven. And there are the ones who fear death believing that death would be darkness while your consciousness still exists to suffer and regret your memories for eternity. Arthur was a believer in heaven and hell. ‘Nothing, I feel nothing. I see nothing. I know nothing.’ There was no darkness, no color, no sensation. He wasn’t breathing, but he wasn’t choking. He could feel that he was moving, it was not his body that was moving, only his soul. “Arthur, wake up.” A familiar voice said. Suddenly he could feel his heart beating, and the need to breathe existed. He breathed in and out heavily, opened his eyes widely, and stood up. “I died?” “You did die. But don’t be scared, for you are now alive.” The tutorial staff said. Arthur looked around but
In front of the red portal, Arthur stood. So far, non-humans and a small number of humans have been the only ones to enter the red portal. The vast majority of humans who entered the solo portal did not appear normal to Arthur; they appeared "ancient" and spoke strangely. They also appeared to be knowledgeable about ancient warfare and non-modern weaponry. “Bah! "I'm overanalyzing everything!" He thought. He didn't want to get carried away and endanger himself. "For the time being, let's concentrate on this." Without hesitation, he entered the portal. He felt the same way he did when he passed through the previous portals: cool and minty. “Hooo, this sensation never gets old.” He was now on the other side of the portal. And the second tutorial was not what he initially expected. He thought that he would enter another cave or something similar, but this place was more normal than he expected. 'This looks like an old hotel.’ Arthur knew that this place was similar to a hotel that
(A/N : This story might be scary. And there a lot of dead bodies.) “Hot! Hot! Hot! Ahhh! ” Arthur got burned while playing with the fire he had just made. ‘I still can’t believe it... actual magic... Arthur had always wanted to be a magician, but he never imagined he'd be able to do so. “But what am I supposed to do now?” Arthur now had the fire, but what should he do with it? He looked at the paper again and lit a fire near it. An image of a door appeared on the paper unexpectedly. He approached a door and used fire to warm the doorknob. CLICK! The doorknob made a noise as if the door had been unlocked. When he opened the door, he found himself in a simple room. There was a single bed, a dressing table, and a cabinet in the room. Arthur flipped a switch on a nearby wall. ‘Fluorescent light?’ Arthur could hear the buzzing sound made by the light. The light revealed the imperfections of the room. The room was disorganized and dusty. He looked around the room and discovered a
Arthur walked towards the next door and unlocked it by warming the doorknob just like he did with the previous door. It was a room that looked like a storage room. It had a shotgun with ammo. Arthur immediately recognizes the shotgun model. “A Remington 870!" Arthur picked it up slowly and safely, practicing basic gun safety protocol as a good Amerigon should. But that was it. There was only one shotgun and boxes of 12 gauge shells. He put all of that equipment into his inventory and went on to the next room. But the door wouldn’t budge. When he melted the handle, it revealed a keyhole that could not be melted anymore by his magical flames. He went on to the fourth room and found a bathroom with nothing but a small hand-held mirror on the floor. [MEMORY GLASS] [DESCRIPTION: RECALLS EVERY PART OF THE MOMENTS OF THE TIME RECORDED.] “I don't get it.” No matter how many times Arthur read the description, he couldn’t figure out how to use the mirror. Until he realized that the mirr
The humanoids that were gathering around Arthur were bigger, and their mana count was so high that Arthur could see the blue-ish gas that mana would manifest around these people. They were all similar in strength to the previous titan that scouted him. “LET ME THROUGH!” A titan shouted, pushing everyone that stood in his way like nothing. “We came too late!” "That dang 14th titan of strength is stealing another talent!" “Magni Quoatdasha! I came here first! You’re not going to take him from me, are you? ” A strong human that looked like a character that came straight from a Chinese martial arts film. “HAHAHA! Chong-Yol! Are you trying to scout someone 2 ranks above you? ” Magni laughed. ‘Ah, so he is Pu Chong-Yol, the third-ranked human... ’ Arthur caught a glimpse of his name while checking the human rankings. “Rankings don’t matter! I, the Flame Dragon of Murim, can’t be defeated only by being outranked! ” Chong-Yol said. Chong-Yol then turned to Arthur, “Arthur, the great t
Everyone arrived on the first floor almost simultaneously. When Arthur arrived, he recognized the young man he had seen in the first tutorial cave. “Sir! I made it through and passed all of the tutorials, as you requested! "Can I now follow you?" The young man asked. ‘Crap! I didn't think he'd pass the tutorial!' "Uh, sure, sure. Just don't forget to be safe when following me. ” Arthur promised the man that if he passed the tutorial, he would let him follow him, and since the man had done just that, he couldn't go back on his word. “Of course, sir!” The youngster followed Arthur from behind. “By the way, my name is Billy! Billy Murray! ” "Nice to meet you, Billy," Arthur said, not looking at him. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he didn't realize Billy was speaking to him. "You appear to be very popular here, Sir!" "Uh, it's a long story." "You'll figure it out eventually," said Arthur As Arthur looked back to talk to Billy, he saw people staring at him and approa
“What the…” Arthur wasn’t expecting to meet one of his father’s allies this early. ‘This is bad…’ Arthur realized that his father’s allies were the ones that plotted the betrayal of his father. ‘This dwarf might be one of the traitors. “This picture was taken when you decided to climb to the second floor… At that time, the tower was in its Beta 2 version, and you were the last of the Beta 1 players who started climbing. You were a coward too… Who would have thought that the kid who would sweep floors and work as a cook to survive would eventually complete the tower and come back to repeat the whole process!” The dwarf said to Arthur. ‘This dwarf…’ Arthur looked at his movements and the way he spoke. ‘I dont think he is one of those traitors. ’ Arthur concluded. The way the dwarf looked at him was like how a loving father would look at his son. {It seems that you have met the old dwarf Odal. He will be a useful ally. He is not the best blacksmith, but he is talented nonetheless.}
“Cheers!” The 30th floor Behemoth Guild headquarters higher-ups were celebrating the 71st anniversary of their guild. But they were also there to celebrate their extension of power thanks to the new players that had just arrived in the tower. As the biggest guild in the tower, they would naturally get most of the players on their side to help them reach the end of the tower. But their celebration was quickly interrupted by a sudden mana hologram that appeared above them. And in the hologram was the elven manager of the 10th floor. “Eroan! Hahaha! What do you have to tell us? Do you have good news about recruiting the players?” An old bearded man with a cloak laughed. But Eroan was looking depressed and worried. “I have bad news, Mastria Gilbert… Arthur has returned, The Behemoth has returned…” (A/N: Mastria has the same meaning as Magus and Mage.) “Hahaha, I knew you would bring us goo- wait what???” Mastria Gilbert yelled. Everyone in the room who was celebrating a few seconds ag

Another Hercules pushed Arthur down with pure strength and the Pro Behemoth Guild faction of the Hammer Guild started beating down Arthur who was on the floor.Arthur stood up immediately and used his magic Fire which didn't do much but it was enough to distract them.He then sneakily kicked all of them away in one swoop and considering the size that he had become from using the scroll to increase his gigantification skill, he accidentally kicked one of the Hammer Guild members that was on his side."Retreat!!! We'll live to fight another day!!!"Two of the Thor's saw this as their loss and lead their men back to the guild.Meanwhile the Thor that was left behind stood up and thanked Arthur. "Thank you for helping us." He said."Hey, no problem at all. I am always happy to help anyone on my side." Arthur said while smiling. "And you know what? Why don't you and your men stay here to rest? Then hopefully we will discuss something." Arthur said.The 16th Titan Thor looked back at his fat
"You want me to help?" Arthur asked."Yeah. And don't worry. It won't take long." The Goblin Knight said."No thanks." Arthur replied as he was about to leave the dungeon."I will give you a treasure that would make you very rich!" The Goblin Knight shouted.Arthur stopped walking towards the exit of the dungeon and turned. "I am listening...." He replied with a smile.'Sigh, humans...' The Goblin Knight thought. "Give me a report of what is happening outside of this dungeon. " The Goblin Knight said.Arthur then explained everything that was happening for an entire hour."Wow, a lot of things has happened, huh?" The Goblin Knight asked."Indeed... Now, can I get my reward?" Arthur asked."Sure. Use the sword that I upgraded for you and fight using it, and you'll be rich." The Goblin Knight said."You scammer!" Arthur shouted before storming out of dungeon.He might have looked angry, but deep inside, Arthur was smiling. He now had a sword that no one could imagine owning and so he im
As he arrived in the spawn point of the 19th floor, he immediately changed his identity to the Beast. And even though people notice him, nobody went crazy at gathering around him like they did if he revealed his identity.He then took out the file that contained the information relating to the Goblin Knight and followed the map.He walked slowly and even rented a horse to avoid any unnecessary attention and headed on his way to his destination.He eventually arrived at a mountain that wasn't that high. In fact, it looked more like hill than a mountain.There wasn't any player at that place and it seems pretty empty.Arthur then checked out the place and followed the directions that was written on the file. He walked up the hill and eventually reached to the top where there was a small cabin.The cabin was properly lit up and it looked like it had someone living there.Arthur then approched the cabin but before he could even touch the door, the whole place turned from a cabin to a du
Arthur heard the loud footsteps, and it was pretty familiar. He thought about waiting and see what was approaching him but remembered the warning that the President in the television said.He immediately ran inside a the television store and hid under a table. He even used his magic to make himself invisible. The loud steps got closer and closer and suddenly a big stitched up foot passed by Arthur. He immediately noticed the leg and knew that he www it somewhere. 'The Chimera God!" He thought as he remembered that he almost got killed by the creature."Status!" He whispered to see the status of the Chimera God. But it seems that his level was too low to view the creature's status.He knew better than to charge at he creature, and so he continued hiding under the table.[CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SURVIVED THE YOUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THE GOBLIN GOD! PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING MISSIONS:1. SAVE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES2.[PLEASE COMPLETE THE FIRST MISSION TO VIEW]GOOD L
Arthur remembered that he was given the card after his first ranked fight against the crouching tiger.He took it out the black card and read it. "Tear this card if you have any request. We have informations that no one have." He said before tearing the card and changing his identity from Arthur Behemoth to the BeastSuddenly, mana covered him and teleported him into a black coloured room. He couldn't see anything and so he used his magic Fire to light up the room. "Beast, I have been waiting for you." The man who gave him the card said."You have?" Arthur asked wondering how long the man waited for him."I have. My name Russel B. Darwin. But you can call me Russel.." Russel said while extending his hand to shake hands with Arthur."Hey Russel, I'm actually short of time right now. But uhh is it true that you have more Information than the Information Guild have." Arthur asked."No. But we have Informations that they do not have." Russel replied."Huh, well I want to ask you if you h
A day has passed and Arthur was seated in his office as usual finishing some of his paperwork just before his assistant knocked the office door."Come in." Arthur said while putting away his paperwork.His assistant walked in and handed him a 3 pieces of papers. Arthur looked at the contents of the paper and was horrified. "What the heck is this?" Arthur asked while holding the papers that had images of limbless Information Guild members."Those are the injured Information Guild members that have tried entering the 10th floor branch of the Behemoth Guild." His assistant said."I thought they didn't have anyone at the branch?" Arthur asked."There wasn't any. The automated security system was strong enough to cause this much damage to our members." The assistant said. "So we want to ask for your permission to send one of our elites." He asked."No need. I'll go. I have nothing to do anyways." Arthur said before standing up and putting on his suit."Sir, this job is something that we c
In a empty city, Arthur was running away from a giant that had been chasing after him for hours as he looked behind him he saw the Chimera God that nearly killed him in the first tutorial. He had tried fighting against it, but for some reason, he couldn't use his inventory and his abilities has been locked."I don't know how long I have been running. My legs feel numb. But everyone I look behind me, that monster is always there. How the heck did this even happen?" Arthur shouted at himself.As he looked behind him, the Chimera God was getting closer and closer and with a smile so disgusting, the creature then opened it's mouth so wide to devour Arthur."Get away from me!!!" Arthur shouted as he stated throwing as much punches as humanly possible only to fall from his bed.As he opened his eyes on the floor in his bedroom, he slapped his face. "It was a nightmare after all," Arthur said before he stood up and walked to his office where his assistant bowed their head slightly and lead
All of the nobles froze up as they saw the muscular and unfathomable figure of Arthur. "I hope I am not intruding." Arthur said as he walked up to Prince Charles."Of course not. We are happy to have you here. Uhh tea? Wine?" Prince Charles asked Arthur in a very polite tone."Tea should be fine." Arthur replied.Prince Charles immediately ran to the kitchen, "Make the best tea you could possibly make!!! The Behemoth is here!" He screamed."The Behemoth? Why is he here?" The chefs in the kitchen started to sweat. "Don't ask me questions! Just make the tea!" Prince Charles shouted.The chefs were pressured as they have heard rumors or the Behemoth. "I heard that the Behemoth killed his personal chef for putting a single gram of extra sugar in his coffee." One chef said."That was nothing. I heard that he killed his chef for being too ugly." Another chef said."Quiet! Those are nothing but rumors. But just in case those rumors are true, we will have to make the best tea possible." The
