Goblin Hunting
A female player got a message from her friend telling her about the auction of a Unique item. She didn't believe it at first, but once she saw that it was real, She was surprised.
The item had really good stats and was worth a lot. She was surprised someone actually decided to sell this item in the in-game auction.
The item was put on auction a little earlier today and its current bid was already 8000 Gold. 'That is cheap' she thought and looked at the minimum price.
'2000 gold? Does the seller not understand the value of this item?' she thought as he made her own bid.
10K gold.
Another girl read in her guild chat that a unique item was being sold. She went into the auction page of that item and bid 12K gold.
Another man found out about it from someone else.
Another girl found it randomly.
Another...
The knowledge of a Unique item being sold in an in-game auction started going around like wildfire. Everybody who had a Mage, Cleric, or Priest base class bid on it.
In half a day, the highest bid had reached 60K Gold.
Everyone who bid in the auction or even heard about the auction only had one thing in their mind.
'The owner is an absolute idiot.'

The 'Idiot' was hunting goblins in the jungle right now.
Before starting the hunt, he had started recording.
The recording method was quite simple. You opened your settings and towards the bottom was the record option. Once you clicked that, a panel appeared notifying you that it was ready to record.
He messed with a few options on the settings. The first thing that caught his eyes was the 'Hide Appearance' option. Once the option was turned on, nothing changed on the game. But on the recording, the player now had a very generic appearance.
The appearance on the recording was the default option for males in the starting character setting. Short black hair, medium build with medium height. Wearing a plain white t-shirt and black pants.
The setting made it so that no one could recognize him from the recordings. It also hid all his items, so no one who saw the recording could tell what items he was wearing.
Once all the setting was done, he hit record and started killing goblins.
The hunting ground had a lot of goblins, enough for everybody to hunt. Most people were hunting solo, but there were also quite a few players hunting at parties.
He started killing the goblins one by one. With his incredibly high stats, he bulldozed his way through the goblins. He would disregard the goblin's attack and just keep hitting them.
It didn't take more than a couple of hits for the goblins to die.
These goblins were mostly around Level 12 and gave 50 experience. And there were a lot of them.
In just a couple of minutes, Obcisor had leveled of 3 times. The goblins had also dropped multiple materials, but none of them dropped any item.
He went ahead as he killed any goblins he could find. There was not a single goblin that could make his use more than 10 seconds of his time.
It took him about 15 minutes to reach the middle area of the goblin's hunting ground. This place was truly large.
At the center, there was a small natural arch made up of vines and tree roots. A small transparent film covered the entrance of the arc.
Once he went near it, a notification popped up.

"Wow," he didn't know there was a dungeon here. Although he did remember hearing that most hunting sites had a dungeon in them. This must be one of them.
"Enter."
He was transported to a meadow with short grasses. It was green everywhere. He could see some trees, but there weren't many of them and they were all scattered throughout the fields.
A little further ahead he saw a small settlement of goblins. Some goblins were standing along a wall with spears in their hand, acting as scouts.
Obcisor saw that and walked straight towards them.
The goblin scout who saw him running towards them started shouting. Soon the whole village was in an uproar.
Goblins with bows and arrows started showing up in the walls. They nocked their arrows and soon arrows starting falling on him like rain.
As soon he saw the arrows reach him, he used [Bulwark's Revenge].

——————————————————
The most damage an arrow did to him was 20, but the unreduced damage that was returned killed almost all of the goblin archers.
<'Bulwark's Revenge' dealt 252 damage to 'Goblin Archer'>
<'Bulwark's Revenge' dealt 262 damage to 'Goblin Archer'>
<'Bulwark's Revenge' dealt 255 damage to 'Goblin Archer'>
He took about 1500 Damage in total from all the arrows. But dealt over 15K Damage just by using one ability.
Soon, he reached the wall. The wall looked old and molded. He kicked the wall and it came down with a single kick.
The goblin scouts were already down the wall by this point and were together with what seemed to be goblin warriors, ready to attack with their spears.
As soon as they saw him kick the wall down, they rushed him. The man showed no fear or resistance to their attacks and simply let them hit him as much as they wanted.
Meanwhile, the man, Obcisor was punching left and right killing any goblin that was still attacking him. The moment they had jumped on him, he had activated [Bulwark's Healing] and turned their damage into healing instead.
By the time he was done dealing with all the goblins, his HP had gone back to full and then down to 70%.
5 seconds of 0 damage was too low of a time for him to kill all these goblin scouts.
He had already turned his notifications off. So he was no longer getting bombarded with the messages.
He walked past the disappearing corpses of the goblin scout. At the center of the settlement, he saw 4 goblins, all a little different from the normal goblins.
One huge goblin was sitting in a fancy chair. One goblin with a long beard and a staff was standing by his side. In front of them were 2 goblins with good muscles on them. Both the goblins looked identical and were holding identical great swords.
They were named 'Goblin King' 'Goblin Wizard' 'Goblin King's left hand' and 'Goblin King's right hand'.
Obcisor disregarded their presence as anything noteworthy and made his way to the two twin goblins in the front.
Both of the 'hands' of the goblin king started swinging their great swords at him too. He easily dodged their attacks and started throwing numerous punches at them.
He suddenly started feeling sluggish. As if something heavy was tugging on him all over his body. It didn't last very long however and the feeling went away as fast it came.
Within a few minutes, he killed both the Right and the Left Hand of the Goblin King. Now only the wizard and the Goblin King himself were remaining.
The Goblin King stood up from his chair. He put his hand on a wooden stake sticking out from the ground near his feet. In one swift motion, he gripped the wooden stake and pulled it out from the ground.
It was an enormous greatsword, almost twice the length of the enormous Goblin King himself.
'He is going to fight with that?'
