DYING AND GETTING ELECTROCUTED

Leon's punishment finally came to an end before a message popped up once again.

"Hunting Mission 1: A beginner's first kill.

Location: Dungeon level 1, Outer district of the Goblins.

Aim: To attend your first kill and eliminate all the enemies on the floor.

Objectives: You have entered the outer district of the goblin village ( The first hurdle while climbing the Dungeon). There are 10 goblins on the first floor. Your task is to eliminate all of them by any means necessary.

Status:(0/10)

Rewards: Key to the second floor, 1000 additional exp. Novice weapon set.

Failure: Hosts will have to undergo continuous electrocution for four days and restart the whole level. Experience dying within the dungeon."

The same message as before showed up and he once again got transported to the door into the first level. He understood that he died because of prolonged activity within the forest and failure to cover his tracks.

He began to prepare adequately as he headed towards the floor this time. He first decides to court the outskirts before looking for marks of goblin movements in the area. He managed to find some footprints this time and slowly began to follow them. He managed to reach the same direction as previously, but from a different spot.

He was sure that goblins were hiding in here. He started to look around for them, eventually discovering some tracks which led him towards a spot which was some distance away from the spot where he died last time.

He began to wander around, trying to locate the enemy according to the trajectory of the attack last time. he moved towards the direction of the attack and was about to reach a probable spot when another point appeared right beside him and pierced his head, killing him in the process.

.............

Moments later-

Leon jolted up once again. " I died ."

"Yes. I don't see your progress in the process, but keep the hard work up."

The message popped up once more.

"Mission status: failed. The host will be penalized with 4 days of electrocution."

...........................

Attempt 3-

Leon managed to locate the enemy for the first time. he got a visual of the goblins who were hiding within the trees with their bows. He took his own weapon out and slowly proceeded towards the location.

He was just about to reach the perfect vantage point, when something heavy strikes his head, bursting it open. Blood spouted out like a foundation as his brain fell like a loose pile of mess.

Leon woke up moments later, just to be electrocuted once again. His tenacity increased as time passed.

.............................

Attempt 4-

Leon was killed with a spear from a goblin who had a higher vantage point towards the surroundings.

.................

Attempt 7-

Leon completely managed to avoid the goblins on the ground and reached the tree, but the archer above noticed him and shot an arrow through his chest.

...............

Attempt 11-

Leon managed to climb up the tree and was about to put his dagger into the goblin's body from behind when another arrow shot him down from a tree farther away.

"The mission is fucking impossible to complete. They are always changing their positions. How am I supposed to hunt them?" Leon was frustrated after dying and being electrocuted several times.

"You are focusing on a single enemy, rather than the whole group. You need to understand the pattern of the movements and then attack accordingly." AIGIS suggested.

............................

Attempt 14-

Leon finally managed to understand the way the goblin group moved. He managed to make his way through the forests and finally cornered a singular goblin. He took out his sword and immediately lunged towards the monster, penetrating its chest.

"Finally killed one." Leon wiped the sweat out and commanded the tab to appear. To his surprise, though, there were no kills mentioned in the status tab.

"Why has it not been updated." Leon began to inspect the tab, but the next moment a sword pierced through his chest and appeared right before his eyes. Leon could only stare at his wound in shock as he turned his eyes, only to see an injured goblin laughing at him.

Leon woke up once again and was on his way to be electrocuted.

...........................

Attempt 16-

Leon finally managed to kill his first enemy. The process happened when Leon finally cornered another goblin-like last time. This time he not only stabbed his sword but also stabbed his dagger multiple times. He didn't stop until the goblin was just a puddle of flesh.

The very moment he was done and elated with his achievement, his head was once again pierced by a spear.

"What happened this time? I am pretty sure I had isolated the goblin that time. How did another one appear?" Leon was skeptical.

"Goblins are very sensitive to blood. As soon as you killed the first guy, the rest of the group got alerted about it." AIGIS explained.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Leon asked.

"You never asked."

A message popped up once again.

"First-kill confirmed. 1000 exp granted. Level 5 upgrade begins." Leon was slowly upgraded to level 5. he could feel his strength increasing as well as some of the stats increased.

"Strength +1, Endurance+1"

"Strength: 26, Endurance: 26, Agility:24, Mana:9, Wisodom:8, Luck:8."

"Mission status: Failure. The host will be electrocuted for four days."

.................

"Did the level up grant me an increase in stats?" Leon asked.

"No. Hunting the goblin gave it. Stats are just like exp to level up. They will increase more and more as you continue hunting more and more monsters."

When Leon heard this fact, a new light suddenly appeared within his eyes. A new motivation arose within his mind.

'transfer me to the first level immediately. We will begin the hunt."

......................

Attempt 40-

The message finally popped up.

"Mission status: Complete. The Hunting Mission-1 was successful. The reward is being provided.

Rewards granted: Keys to the second floor, 1000exp, Novice weapons granted in the inventory."

Leon was standing amid a pile of corpses. Check his status tab.

"Strength: 30, Endurance:28, Agility: 26, Mana:11, Wisdom:10, Luck:10."

"Mana reached level 10, awakening initiated." A message popped once again.
