Goblins Everywhere
It moved slowly but steadily towards Aaron as if it wasn't sure if he was strong or not. The goblin didn't see any weapons or anything suspicious, so it charged forward, swaying its small dagger left and right.
Aaron reacted quickly by taking a step back each time it swung. It was obvious that it wasn't intelligent, so he quickly summoned his weapon, which he took from his inventory and swung at the goblin.
He didn't kill the goblin because he didn't use any force. He only scratched its abdomen, which was leaking yellowish blood at the time. Some even spurted on him, which he hadn't had time for because it immediately resumed swinging.
"KIEEEEEEE!" It shrieked as if it was irritated by his movements. It didn't stop, though, and just kept swinging around like a maniac.
Aaron then concentrated his efforts and launched his attack with all of his might. "Hmph!" and smashed it with a single swing. He simply severed its head from its body.

After that, the body collapsed to the ground, blood splattering everywhere. He didn't want his only clothes to get any dirtier, so he separated them. He was still going to leave this place, so he just started walking again.
In fact, he was already exhausted. Because of the weight, his legs couldn't hold on for very long. He paused for a minute before continuing.
He hadn't even been there a minute when he discovered a swarm of goblins in front of him. They were in a group of five. They were all armed with small daggers. They were all shrieking so loudly that it hurt Aaron's ears.
'I'm not sure I can beat them, so what should I do...' He pondered. 'Oh! I have 5 stat points to assign. Let's apply it to Strength and Agility.'
He opened his Status Window and added three stat points to Strength and two to Agility by clicking the [+] next to each stat. He felt a surge of energy in his body afterward, and he was able to move for much longer than before. These stats appeared to be extremely beneficial to him.
He was aware of his disadvantage because he was essentially alone, so he lunged first at them. He felt lighter and faster than usual. He got close to two goblins next to each other and cut their necks perfectly in one swing.

He locked his gaze on the other three, who were now shivering in fear after witnessing how easily they died at the hands of this human. Unfortunately, these goblins were quick to distance themselves from humans.
It did charge right away, which seemed a little stupid. They all swung their small weapon at him, just like the other goblins, but they all died.

Huff, huff, huff
He still felt like shit as he sat on his buttocks for a good five minutes before resuming. He felt compelled to check his Status Window first. He did, in fact.

'I got some new stat points, which is nice. Level 2 already. Good, I think I'm doing well for someone who has only recently entered this tower. Let's continue and then stop because it appears to be getting darker.' He noticed the sky darkening as he looked up.
He had finished checking his Status Window and was just going through everything to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything.
'Oh?' He noticed a clock in the corner of the window. It was 18:47. 'Pretty useful,' he thought, thinking that it would undoubtedly help him in a variety of ways.

He examined the system notifications and discovered a plethora of them. He had just finished dispatching the fifteenth goblin, which he dispatched with ease. It was refreshing to see how easily he could kill them.
He was currently sitting on all of the bodies he had killed, attempting to extract the yellow blood from them, which did not entirely succeed.
'It's already 21:30 and I haven't eaten.' Let's hurry,' he thought as he jumped back up on the ground, a grin on his face as he remembered how he killed them all.
He then called up the Shop and scrolled through it. He clicked on the search bar because he couldn't find anything related to food. 'Food,' he thought, and it appeared.
The food appeared to be extremely inexpensive, with even a single piece of bread costing only one PP. He was at a loss for what to eat and simply searched pizza as he imagined the soft, warm, and delicious pizza in his mouth.
'It's only three points.' Let's buy a lot!' He stated that he believes he will be able to eat all of them.
He had just finished his meal. He ordered four pizzas and managed to finish them all. He was stuffed to the gills and couldn't even butch a muscle.
[A friendly reminder to the Player: you have just over 2 hours before the Daily Quest resets. If you do not finish it by the time it expires, we will simply reset it and you will lose your chance to receive the rewards.]

'Perfect! Shall we burn these calories by working out?' As he looked at his Daily Quest, he said. He wanted to run for a while, so he did that first.
After ten minutes.
Huff, huff, huff
"I can't fucking do it any longer... I'm so.... tired..... All I want to do is sleep-" He said this as he became aware of something. 'Stop it, I can't lie around any longer.' I need to change.' And then he stopped fooling around. He became 'serious' and resumed his running, attempting to complete 10 kilometers.
He finally finished after an hour and a half.
- RUN (10/10KM) ✓

"Let's...continue...."
....
50 minutes later.
- PUSH-UPS (95/100)
- SIT-UPS (100/100) ✓
- SQUATS (100/100) ✓
-
'Come on, let's go! Only five more to go before I'm done!' He pushed himself and tried to get those five in a hurry.
Even though it was difficult, he managed to complete all of them. Encouragement and determination. That was what kept him going. He wouldn't be doing these if he wasn't.
'There are only two left!' He thought as his entire head began to turn redder and redder with each passing second. His entire body was sweating profusely as if he hadn't sweated in a long time, and he felt like shit. He knew how bad things would be when he woke up the next day. He knows from his own experience after returning home from extreme PE at school. He couldn't move at all at the time. However, this workout is even worse, so this will undoubtedly be worse.
So the more he thought about it, the less he wanted to think about it. He just didn't want to think about it right now, so he refocused on the push-ups.

Huff, huff, huff
He was panting heavily and attempted to sit up, but it didn't work. He then abandoned the idea and collapsed on the cold ground. He didn't care about anything other than resting for the time being.
He forgot to buy sleeping material that night, so he slept out in the cold night, surrounded by goblins who could attack him at any time. He slept as soundly as a child who had just returned from playing in the park.
....
Time had passed, and it was now morning. Surprisingly, there was no sun, just a bright sky with no clouds. There were no birds chirping or any other noises. Nothing could be heard within a 20-meter radius of where the current Aaron was sleeping.
He'd already slept for 9 hours and didn't feel refreshed as he slowly opened his eyes. He could see a little, but it was blurry.
"Kikikiki!" From somewhere close to him, he heard a low, strange laugh. He attempted to stand, but instead collapsed on his back, facing the sky.
He counted 20 goblins as he looked around. No, more and more kept pouring in from every nook and cranny. At the moment, there were more than 50 goblins.
He looked around and laughed awkwardly as he considered how he had to flee from this massive horde of goblins.
'Fuck,'
