Goblin Terror

Standing behind a tree, Roy spied on the goblin that was investigating his home with great interest.

"Gigau? Gogintu ilo lok?" The goblin spoke in a language that Roy had never heard before. Though he was hoping it was only talking to itself and not another goblin inside his home.

Time passed and as the sun set, the goblin went into his burrow and lay down on his leaf bed. Seeing this as an opportunity, Roy waited for the goblin to fall asleep.

'These things must be really stupid, how the hell can it comfortably sleep in an obviously inhabited location?' Roy contemplated as he continued on with his train of thought. 'Well it works out for me, though I guess I'll have to move base since this likely isn't going to be the last time something finds this spot. This is a good test for me as well, since I've never killed anything bigger than an insect...'

*Gulp*

Roy nervously approached his home. Upon creeping inside, he was hit with a foul smell, making him cringe in disgust. Covering his nose with one hand, he reached for a rock nearby with the other. Holding his breath while looking down on the sleeping green monster, he raised both hands as high as possible, gripping tightly on the rock. Bringing it down with all the strength his body could muster, Roy squeezed his eyes shut.

*Bang*

"GIIIIIIIIII"

A dull impact was heard, followed by the screaming of the goblin. Roy opened his eyes, only to see the forehead of the goblin caved in slightly and bleeding. The goblin held his head with one hand and thrust his fist at Roy with his other.

'Shit!'

"Ugh! Cough!"

The goblin's fist connected to Roy's stomach, making him keel over.

[HP: 5/6]

After falling over the goblin kicked at Roy, making him roll to the side in pain.

[HP: 3/6]

'Not Good!' Roy began to panic, looking around in an attempt to find something to use as a weapon.

'There!'

Just as he spotted his dropped rock in the darkness of the burrow, the goblin walked over to him with a sadistic smile plastered on its hideous face.

"Gugigigi"

Watching the goblin mock him, Roy finally managed to cool his head. Coming up with a plan, he waited until the goblin went to attack him again.

*Fwoosh*

The goblins tightened fist came barreling towards him. Roy quickly side stepped to avoid the punch, grabbing the wrist of the goblin as it passed by him. He then kicked at its feet and pulled on its captured arm at the same time, tripping it.

'Nice! Gotta get that rock ASAP!' Roy thought to himself as he spotted the goblin slowly recovering. He then jumped as hard as he could, barely grabbing the rock and twisting his body around while swinging his arm. At the same time the goblin that was now behind him had a shocked expression on his face from the unexpected attack.

*Bang*

Roy successfully connected his hit at the same location as last time. Causing the goblins forehead to completely cave in and making it pass out.

'Seriously, It's still alive?!' Roy stared at the knocked out goblin in shock. Clenching the rock tightly in his hand, he walked over to the goblins head and knelt down next to it. After staring for a few seconds, Roy began furiously beating the forehead of the poor beast until its head had turned into meat paste.

"Buhihi" Roy chuckled to himself.

'Victory...' Was the final word he managed to think before passing out on top of the dead goblin.

"Urgh!"

Waking up the next morning, Roy felt a considerable pain in his stomach. Not wanting to move, but he begrudgingly lifted his body, more so not wanting to lay on a carcass. He crawled over to the edge of the burrow and leaned against it.

'Guess I'll look through the system while I let the pain subside.' Roy thought to himself as he saw something completely new. 'There's an achievement system?!' Roy was shocked, as he quickly asked for information.

'Dang, that's awesome! ALMOST makes it worth that near death experience.'

"Buhih- Ugh"

'No laughing right now, got it.'

...

Around noon Roy began to feel better, and hungrier, so he decided to get up and walk over to his bug pile he had left outside. When he walked up to it, he noticed Inbellis finishing his big leaf on the side.

'No idea about the ordeal your master went through last night, huh?' Roy half smiled at the little bug, knowing it would have been instantly killed if it joined anyways.

As Roy sat next to Inbellis, he began eating his critter cuisine. 'Still disgusting, but way better than eating a humanoid like that goblin.' Roy began thinking, knowing that he would barf the second he attempted to consume something like that.

'After last night's near death experience, I also realized that I'm still stark naked. I need to make some armor, or something to protect myself. That punch wouldn't have been anywhere near that bad if I had a breastplate.' Roy decided on his next plans, as per usual when he ate.

After brunch, Roy picked up his leftovers and his little pet. He knew that the cup would be done drying now, so he wanted to check if it had any cracks that needed patching before it could be used.

Finally arriving at the river, he placed Inbellis in its enclosure, and went to read the stats on his now dry cup.
