2024-10-29 19:42:56Two emotionless mystic blue eyes were directly staring at the dead bodies of two monsters lifelessly laying on the ground. Shin's smile was equivalent to a devil's grin, which scared the monster down to its core. It became even more apparent after seeing the messages floating in front of him.
[ You have killed 2 goblins ]
[ Plunder activated ][ You absorbed 5 stat points ]Soon the grin on his face faded as he started to ponder something.
"Status board," Shin muttered in a low voice.*Klink!****[ Name- Shin Wolner][Age - 20][Title - 1st awakened ][ Level - 1 ][-Stats-][STR - 19] [AGI - 10] [DEX - 5 ][Stamina- 5][ Bonus stats - 5 ][Special ability - Plunder]***After some deep thinking, Shin decided to use his bonus stats to increase his agility this time. Shin wanted to balance his other stats too. But for now, increasing speed and strength was crucial.[AGI - 15] [ Bonus stats - 0]
After increasing his agility. Shin felt his body getting lighter. "How fascinating." Shin was intrigued by this phenomenon and a little worried.
How does this work? Is it harmful in the long term? Does it have any side effects? Shin was reluctant to use this opportunity given to him at first. But to say Shin wasn't happy with this phenomenon? It would have been a complete lie.
The changes in his body were apparent and the feeling of a sudden increase in power was way too addicting. How could he not want to become powerful and after the current situation of the world, it was all the more needed.
There was still some distance left to reach his home. But due to cautiously walking and repeatedly checking his surroundings. His speed was low.
After the tools shop encounter, Shin didn't encounter any monsters for the next few minutes. But after traveling about 3 km from the tool shop, his steps came to a halt.
"Three of them. Two in that alley and one behind that pole." Shin felt the bloodlust of three goblins directed at him. They were following him like a predator out hunting, playing with his prey. Any other normal person would have started crying but Shin had a smile on his face.
Shin wanted to test his strength in case of sneak attacks. Well, in this case, he already knows their location. So he might as well give them some leeway and let them attack first.
Shin pretended to drop his guard and act as a pitiful prey would. Just according to his plan they attacked him with a mocking laugh.
*Kieeeekkk!!*Shin didn't attack the first one with his full power and just parried the incoming attack with his Iron rod. He wouldn't want the other two to escape seeing him killing their comrade easily.
The other two soon followed after the first one and blocked Shin's path of escape. But luckily for Shin or unluckily for them. They narrowed their own escape route as well.
Seeing those monsters surround him. Shin had a smirk on his face. Shin's grin sent shivers down their spine. But even so, they decided to ignore their senses and foolishly attack him.
The result. Shin swung his iron rod directly at the first goblin's neck. Even though the iron rod was blunt. The pure force behind that swing was enough to chop off that goblin's head.
The other two goblins saw that scene in terror. They started sweating buckets. They wanted to run, but they couldn't. Only then did they realize. The prey that they thought of as a rabbit, was actually a tiger waiting to hunt them down. It was a trap all along. But they could only curse themselves for taking the bait.
Shin dashed towards the second goblin with his increased agility and defeated him with a horizontal slash.
The last goblin tried to retaliate. He did his best to struggle against this monster of a human. But after a few clashes and the strength behind those swings. He eventually gave up and accepted his fate.
[ You have killed 3 goblins ]
[ Plunder activated ][ You absorbed 6 stat points ]Shin was pretty satisfied with this result. But even so, instead of a smile. He had a confused expression on his face. Shin pondered very deeply. It was a very grave matter.
Just how could these monsters be fooled by his acting skills?
Yes, Shin's acting skills were rock bottom. It was a known fact between his family and friends.
Then how could these monsters be fooled so easily? I just tried, but I didn't think it would actually work. I thought of another plan to defeat them.
Are the intelligence of these monsters that low?Shin wanted to get these answers. But he knew, just by thinking, it wouldn't work. The answers won't come out that easily. So, he resolved himself to improve his acting skills and find answers to those questions later.
Let's use those status points first. Shin shared his stats on strength and agility.
[STR - 22] [AGI - 18] [ Bonus stats - 0]"Status board," Shin muttered.
*Klink!****[ Name- Shin Wolner][Age - 20][Title - 1st awakened ][ Level - 1 ][-Stats-][STR - 22] [AGI - 18] [DEX - 5 ][Stamina- 5][ Bonus stats - 0][Special ability - Plunder]***Shin was pretty satisfied with this outcome. Soon he started to hurry his way toward his home.While walking, Shin came across many corpses on the ground. There were dead bodies of people from different age groups.
"They didn't even spare the kids." Shin's eyes turn cold at this sight. He just wanted to kill all those monsters and take revenge for these people.
But he knew he couldn't be hasty. He needs to build up his strength first. Shin continued with the same cold face but with determination flashing across his eyes. He was determined to plunder them all.
..."It should take about an hour with the speed I am going. If nothing goes wrong that is." Shin concluded while walking along the street.
"Help!!"
"Somebody help me!!" A loud voice echoed.Shin was stunned for a second.
"Well. Jinxed it." But soon came to his senses and ran towards the source of the voice."It's the right turn next." Shin covered that distance within a matter of seconds. It was easy for him, with his increased agility.
As soon as Shin reached the spot. He saw a woman on the ground, probably tripped while running and the goblin following her was about to attack her.
Shin moved his body towards the goblin and punched it, sending it flying a few meters away. Shin still wasn't used to his increased agility. So due to his clumsy movements, Shin couldn't bring out the full force behind that punch. Or it might have been a one-shot kill.
'I can't even act cool in this type of moment. Curse my clumsy body. But I did send a goblin flying. So I might have looked a little cool right?' Shin thought to himself.
"Um, excuse me." Breaking him out of his thoughts. Shin heard a sweet voice from behind. He turned his attention towards the woman from before.
It was a beautiful girl with blond hair which was falling to her waist. Her emerald green eyes shone a glisten when the dim sunlight of this winter afternoon fell on her. Her beauty was comparable to those of supermodels. Her white-colored dress with a yellow flower pattern compliments her beauty and her silky long hair.
"Um, are you okay?"
Snapping me out of my dream-like state was her soft and sweet voice. 'What's going on? Was I hypnotized? How could I be so easily entranced by her?'Shin wondered if he was a simp?
'Anyway, I should probably reply first.'
'But what should I say? How do you talk to a stranger beautiful girl in the first place?'
'Since when did I start having conversation problems?'
It might be because she is too beautiful. Well, Elena is beautiful too, but after seeing her so many times, I probably got used to her beauty."Yes, I am fine. Are you okay? That monster almost attacked you." Seeing me reply she sighed a little.
'What was that a sigh?'
'Isn't that a very normal way of speaking?'She stood up and brought forth her hand to do a handshake.
"Thank you for saving me. My name is Anna Williams. Nice to meet you." She spoke in a very formal tone."Uh-ah, yes. Nice to meet you." I replied to her while shaking her hand.
The atmosphere got a little awkward. Then I remembered something very important. What about that goblin? How could I forget about that? What's wrong with me?
Shin looked towards the goblin and saw it running away while stumbling here and there.
Shin spoke hurriedly.
"I'll deal with that goblin first."He pointed in the direction of a store and said.
"Hide in there while I go after him. Don't worry I'll clean all the monsters nearby."Without waiting for her to reply he ran after that escaping goblin.Anna was left confused.
"What did he mean by clean them up?" She muttered while blankly staring in the direction Shin went.She gathered her thoughts and started moving in the direction Shin pointed earlier.
After entering the store Anna started finding a good place to hide. But then she thought of something.
"Could he, really kill all those monsters?"Anna wanted to believe in his words. But from what she saw, those monsters are too strong.Even though he looked a little muscular and healthy, defeating a monster is a different matter. Otherwise, why would so many people die? And his tone when he said he will kill them. It was like, he was telling me he will clean his room.
Is it possible to kill those creepy things?
Curiosity got the best of her. She went to the rooftop of the building to get a clear view.She wanted to see if that youth have what it takes to kill them all.
"He went that way. right?"Anna thought for a second and her eyes followed the route Shin took. While chasing after the goblin."Oh, there he is." Anna soon took notice of Shin's figure. But what she saw after that was terrifying. She froze on her spot. She couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed them to check if she was seeing them wrong. But it was real. She facepalmed.
"Why is this happening?"
"He was such a nice guy."Anna sighed deeply and some tears started to build up in her eyes. Anna wanted to save him, but she knew she couldn't. She was weak. Her savior was going to die just like that? She could only watch him die helplessly."Please God, save him." She prayed for him to survive. Even though all odds were against him. Anna just hoped Shin could live.
...While running after the goblin. Shin couldn't help but think."Will that girl be alright? Well, I can't do anything about that. Bringing her with me would have been more dangerous. As I'll be fighting monsters more aggressively."
Shin sighed.
"Hope so, she will be fine on her own."Kieeek!!
While running that monster shouted in a loud ear-piercing voice."Don't tell me it's calling for other goblins nearby." A smile appeared on Shin's face. That means he doesn't have to go around searching for them and killing them. After all, Shin did promise her, that he will clean up the area from these monsters.
Shin slowed down a little bit to let the little goblin gather up all his comrades.
Within a minute. Shin was surrounded by six goblins.
They had a mocking expressions on their faces. If you could distinguish them, that is.
Seeing shin getting surrounded by six goblins. Anna was pretty anxious. She thought he was going to die.
But the person in question. Rather than even a little worry, had a grin on his face. He was laughing inside his mind. Shin tightened his grip around the Iron rod and exclaimed out loud arrogantly.
"Come here my status points. Become my nutrients."

The large humanoid monster stood crudely, its back bent over from the size of its head. It held a large Iron club in its hand. Its white hollow eyes and features can pretty well describe why it's an Undead.The blood lust emitting from it was nothing to scoff at. The ground below it trembles from the way it walks. That bulky build and a height of more than 2.5 meters. That monster looks terrifying."Undead Tormentor. It's finally here." Shin muttered with a serious look. He was afraid but there was slight excitement he was feeling.'What's this feeling? I've never felt like this before. I'm no match for that terrifying monster. But I can't help but smile in excitement. Shouldn't I be afraid and think of a way to survive? Just what is happening to me?'Shin felt a weird change in his emotions.
