"You! Get over here!" Nabik screamed at one of the goblins that was staring lustfully at the kobold women. They weren't allowed to touch them, as the king had first rights to all women.
"Those... things... are for the king you fool!" Nabik screamed at the goblin, before hitting it in the head with his wooden pole-arm. He knew the feeling of lust all too well, but he was far more afraid of the king's wrath than he was horny.
"You there, clean up the one I just hit. Then go out and tell Tilok to come back. If he hasn't found the perpetrator yet, they have probably run away after seeing our numbers." Nabik sent out his orders before closing his eyes to rest for the night.
"Y-yes sir!" The goblin said, before grabbing the knocked out goblin and putting it to the side. He then rushed out of the cave to look for the leader of the search group.

"Alright! Let's get down to the brass tacks, I need to learn Goblinish or whatever you call it, and you want to live. Let's see if we can accomplish one or two of these things~" Roy spoke to the prisoner, knowing full well it couldn't understand him.
When he was standing in front of the goblin and speaking to it, he noticed that it had pissed itself in fear. 'Wow, seems like I won't need to intimidate him more than this. I guess I'll start with names.' Roy thought, as he pointed to himself while saying, "Roy." He then did the same with Solus, and finally pointed at the goblin.
"T-T-Tilok" It stuttered out, staring at Roy with nervousness. For the next couple of hours, Roy learned the words of all the nearby items he could show the goblin. He also learned that the language was called Gobish, the words used for the first hundred numbers, and simple sentence structure.
When he started to get tired from cramming so much new information into his head, Roy went near the fire to lay down and sleep. He knew it was safe nearby, as he learned that there were only eleven goblins left in the cave, including the boss, known as Nabik.
Roy decided to check his status once, before sleeping in order to see all the changes he had today.

'Ah, I'm an idiot.' Roy thought, as he realized his brain was seriously fried from overuse today. With that, Roy drifted off to sleep. Inbellis crawled into the bellybutton groove of his armor and Solus laid down next to him wrapped up in a ball.
The goblin, known as Tilok was stuck unable to sleep from the excruciating pain. Though he didn't dare to make a sound, as he did not want to anger the captors.
...
The next morning came around, and Roy slowly opened his eyes. What met his gaze was a small shiny stone laying in the ash and charcoal of the fire pit.
"What the hell is that?" Roy asked confused at how that even got there.
[Mana Heart]
Notes:
Tier 1
Vapor
Recently formed, consume to gain 10 MP (Requires Mana Heart)
"This is a Mana Heart?!" Roy was shocked as he stared at the Mana Heart. Not only could you train independently, you could also consume your enemies' Mana Hearts. It seems that Tier 1 Mana Hearts are in the vapor form, making Roy wonder if the mana condenses as the Tiers progress.
{Info}
[Mana Heart]
Tier 0: No Mana Heart, mana is stored inefficiently in the body
Tier 1: Mana heart gained, mana is stored in vapor form
Tier 2: Mana begins condensation process
Tier 3+: Tutorial skill can't be used
'Well that sucks, I mean the tutorial skill does say it only shows common stuff so it makes sense. Just super unfortunate.' Roy stared at the information in disappointment as he put the crystal into his backpack, he put the hatchet in his bag as well as some more dried gob meat.
"I'll make you a sheath for the sword if you want to use it Solus." Roy said as he looked at his canine friend.
*Ruff*
Solus barked as she nodded her head yes. Roy handed her the sword, and soon after they ate some breakfast. Roy sat Inbellis on the ground near some decaying leaves as he had left his mobile home in a tree on the other side of the cave entrance.
As they were finishing up, they suddenly heard Tilok scream out behind them.
"HA! HA! HA! FINALLY! I'M OVER HERE SAVE ME!" The sound erupted from his mouth as the bushes near him ruffled.
"Shit! Solus kill it quick!" Roy yelled, knowing Solus was the only one fast enough to catch up to the escaping enemy.
*Grrrr*
Solus growled as she launched herself forward on all fours. Not even ten seconds later, the scream of a goblin could be heard from the bushes followed by the kill notification. Soon after, a proud Solus came walking out. She threw the corpse right in front of Tilok, before returning to Roy and asking for head pats.
"Good job Solus." Roy smiled at her and gave her head pats with the back of his right hand.
Turning to Tilok, Roy gave a wicked smile. Before saying "Thanks."
Tilok's expression was miserable, making Roy chuckle at his stupidity.
[Goblin killed]
[36 EXP Received]
'One more goblin for Inbellis and I to level up.' Roy calculated, looking at their species level.
