Different

Mark had an inkling of what happened. So, he decided to test and see if his theory was correct.

He took out the 10 new goblin marble he got from his ring, each about 2 cm in diameter, and put them in the 10 different spots inside the square black box. He then put the black box inside the drawer and started looking at this Goblin Warrior once more.

Once again, green light shined through the black box, but Mark didn't see it.

He looked at the goblin warrior and decided he should set it as his slot one. He firmly grasped the green-colored marble with his right palm and said, "Equip." It didn't matter what he said. It was the intention behind it that was necessary.

The green marble shined bright and disappeared into his body. He quickly opened his status to check.

"Yes!" he exclaimed. He finally had something better than a stupid goblin. This would help him tremendously going forward. He was way too excited right now, but He needed to be inside a dungeon to take out his monster. So, he forced himself to calm down and go to sleep.

Early morning, he woke up and prepared breakfast for his sister who needed to be woken up. She had once again lost her memories. He explained the situation for a bit and put on the video he had set up on the TV. After giving his sister her breakfast, he prepared her food for the day and left.

Yesterday, he had a test, so today was a free day. As such, he went straight to the goblin dungeon. That was the closest F-ranked dungeon near his house, so that was the place he always went to. After reaching the dungeon, he immediately got in line as a porter.

Soon enough, a group entered and called him to be their porter. Looking at the party members, he sighed. He wasn't going to earn much once again. Still, he didn't have the right to complain yet, so he followed them to inside the dungeon.

Once inside the party members took out their own monsters, none of which was fancy enough to catch Mark's attention. Mark brought his own monster out as well. With just a thought, the monster marble that was inside of him appeared on his palm.

He gently released it onto the ground next to him, and a goblin warrior appeared in a flash of white light.

A 4 feet tall goblin with a powerful-looking well-toned muscle stood up. It was vastly different from the weak, scrawny-looking goblin he used to walk around it. He was very surprised to see the goblin warrior in real life, instead of just inside the marble.

'Wait a second, is it different from the other goblin warriors?' he wondered. It wasn't taller than the other goblin warriors or wider. It wasn't even a different color. However, the muscles were definitely much well-defined. If one had to bet between this goblin warrior and another random one, they would definitely bet on this one.

'I should wait until I see a goblin warrior today before I make any judgment.' With that, he walked along with the party.

The party was well prepared with their composition and thus had no problem fighting through the numerous goblins throughout the dungeon. Finally, they killed a goblin and Mark had to skin it.

He went to the goblin warrior's corpse and started skinning it from head to toe. All the while, he kept looking back at his own goblin warrior to check the difference. The difference was vast.

"It really is different," Mark said softly to himself. He quickly carved the skin and found a goblin warrior marble inside. "Oh, that's rare," he said out loud. The party quickly saw the marble and rejoiced, saying their dungeon run wasn't in vain.

They were correct. While goblins were weak, scrawny, and useless in a fight, goblin warriors were proper fighters. It was the highest for of goblins available in the F-Ranked dungeons along with goblin wizard and goblin archer if one didn't count the boss.

As such, they sold for an impressive 300+ units on a regular basis, while a goblin didn't even sell for a single unit. That was the disparity between the two, which also showed the impressiveness of the gobline warriors in a way.

Goblin wizards actually sold for a little more than goblin warriors since they could use magic, which was really rare for an F-ranked dungeon monster. While goblin archers who required their owner to buy their own bows and arrow, sold for less.

After they were done admiring the goblin warrior marble, they continued with the dungeon. They killed many more goblin warriors, goblin archers, and goblin wizards, but didn't manage to find a single marble again.

However, they did find about 20 mana stones throughout the dungeon. Finally, they reached the dungeon's boss. They entered the room and got information to fight the boss. Mark went by a corner and kept his attention on the boss.

He didn't want yesterday's situation to occur once more. At least, not with his amazing new goblin warrior. He liked the monster so much that he decided to even name it. However, he was going to wait until he went back to his home to think of a proper name.

The group of hunters easily completed the dungeon and left Mark to skin the boss. The boss only had a single mana stone and nothing else, but the group was plenty happy with that.

They redid the dungeon a few more times before leaving. Mark ran the dungeon 3 more times with a different team this time. Altogether, Mark did about 7 different dungeon runs as a porter today.

By the end of the day, he was tired as hell. But, he was also happy to see 160 units credited to his account. With a smile on his face, he went home.
