Bonk Gauge
[Killed a Goblin]
[EXP+4]
"Finally." Albert sighed and raised his hands. "I thought I was too occupied with the thought of coming to another world, but it seems I truly feel nothing when killing people. Well, living in the downtown area and witnessing several murders help too, but well…yeah."
Albert was lost for words, but he knew he couldn't keep pondering forever. He needed to start becoming indifferent or he would show weakness from time to time.
After taking another deep breath, Albert had calmed his heart and looked at the corpse. Because he couldn't wield a knife or any other weapons, he pulled the ears as hard as he could while using his bat to keep pouncing on it, severing the ears after five minutes.
"That took a lot more effort than I thought." Albert sighed and put the ears into his pocket.
"Still, it's much harder to take a monster that's not horny, especially without a sharp weapon." Albert thought for a moment and said, "Bonk Smasher can be used to smash monsters like them, but I think I need something more to defeat my enemy."
He fell silent, contemplating his current situation. Suddenly, he found something odd and asked. "By the way, if the enemy is horny and I can get rid of their horniness in one hit, is there even a need for Bonkmanship, Bonkey?"
[You underestimate the power of horniness.]
"What do you mean?"
[First of all, Bonk means to hit along with the sound released after that hit. The Bonk Bat will absorb their sexual desire, so it doesn't mean the sexual desire immediately disappears. It's stored inside the Bonk Bat.]
"Hoh?" It was clear this explanation piqued his interest. "Continue."
Mission: Kill ten not horny enemies. (1/10)
Reward: Bonk Gauge
"Hmm?" Albert raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Bonkey gave him this mission instead of an explanation. However, his doubt soon got answered.
[Bonk Gauge will allow you to see the horniness stored inside Bonk Bat. When you bonk people, their horniness will be stored inside like I explained earlier. Then, you can use this horniness to increase the power of your attack.]
Skill: Bonk Smasher (2 Bonk Bites)
Effect: User can deliver a more powerful bonk.
"What are these 2 Bonk Bites?" Albert frowned and continued, "Is it what I think it is?"
[Yes. This Bonk Bite will be similar to a unit for horniness. After finishing the mission, you will acquire the ability to channel the horniness to your Bat to recreate the same effect as when you're using the skill to hit a horny creature.]
"Oh? Let me be clear with this." Albert stopped Bonkey for a minute and arranged his words. "So, if there's a horny creature, I don't need to use the Bonk Bites to create the maximum power. And if I succeed, I will instead get Bonk Bites.
"Then, if the enemy is not horny, I can consume the Bonk Bites inside my bat to recreate the same power of Bonk Smasher like when I deal with the horny creature, right?"
[Yes.]
"What if I use Bonk Bites to attack a horny creature?"
[Nothing happens.]
"So, it's useless."
[Yes.]
"Okay. One more thing. Do I still retain the same power after bonking people once?"
[No. You will get Bonk Bites and they will disappear. There is another method to farm Bonk Bites more efficiently, but you need to get the Bonk Gauge first.]
"I see. For example, I bonked someone and received 10 Bonk Bites from him. Then, he didn't die and attacked me. Ultimately, I consumed 6 Bonk Bites to kill him, meaning I would still get the 4 Bonk Bites from him."
[Yes. The timing of each skill will be at your discretion.]
"I can now understand. Though, if we're talking from a game perspective, I might require more Bonk Bites to defeat my enemies from time to time. However, if I understand how to do this and keep track of all these numbers, I should be fine."
[Yes.]
"Just like in a game." Albert nodded. "That's good to be honest. I will try to kill ten goblins today and get this Bonk Gauge. This way, I can start becoming stronger."
Albert felt a bit fired up.
"Still, I am in a bind because I have trouble getting all these goblin ears." Albert sighed. "Do you have any idea how?"
[I don't have one.]
"How about storing them in just like the bat?"
[That's only special for the bat.]
"That sucks." Albert sighed. "I guess I need to buy a backpack soon to explore like this. I can also store some food and water if I want to go on a journey. Then, I can also store the goblin ears easier."
[Yes.]
"At least, I have gotten some support. If I came here without you and this magical power, I wouldn't have survived on day one. And this journey would have been lonely too. We both have flaws and I can understand that there's some things you can't help me with.
"Even then, I still want to say this one thing, Bonkey. Thank you for helping me and please keep accompanying me."
[Yes.]
Albert smiled and placed the bat on his shoulder as he began to roam inside the forest, searching for more goblins.
Now that he had a goal, which was to get the Bonk Gauge, he didn't hesitate in killing all the goblins he found. He had gotten used to the smell of blood too.
Even without Bonk Gauge, he was already satisfied with the current progress.
…
Four hours later.
Albert was standing in front of a goblin. There was another goblin, but it was already lying on the ground lifelessly. And this goblin before him was already covered with wounds, so Albert smiled and ran forward.
The goblin thrust his knife to Albert's abdomen, but Albert stepped to the side and utilized the longer reach from a bat to hit the goblin on the head.
Bam.
