Chapter 36: More F-ranked Skill Pills

I am dissatisfied with my S-ranked newfound skill. I decided to do a couple of F-ranked skill pills. I manifested one from the mail tab and almost regurgitated whatever was in my stomach. I forgot that the F-ranked skill pills are enormous. I cannot help but feel discouraged looking at the pill.

I haven't choked on a F-ranked skill pill yet. Just get over it, me! I need the skills to help me catch up. I swallowed one pill, and a message appeared before me.

I don't understand it. It is like a butchering skill, but the skill can only be used after I kill the enemy. Or even if it has been long dead, I can still get its benefits. I may be wrong because what is the definition of safe? If I feel secure while butchering a demonic beast. Will the skill not activate itself?

Like always, F-ranked skills are either a hit or a miss. The bad thing for you is if the skill is not combat-based. It is almost not worth using it. Regardless, this skill is a passive skill. In a way, it will eventually be useful even when I do not realize that it is activated. I just hate the wording from the skill's description.

I took a minute to prepare myself, for I would take another skill pill. This one will be another F-ranked skill pill. I must acquire more skills because other combat skills will be game-changing for me. No matter how many times I swallow these big pills. It always scares me of the potential outcome of choking.

Another non-combat-based skill. This one is okay, even if it is only a little okay. With new construction, the upgrading of infrastructure, and even the maintenance of our current infrastructure, mining jobs will always be relevant. I could also mine crystals and rocks for personal use. I am not mad about this one. I still would like one more F-rank skill.

It's interesting to see a skill like this. I have a passive skill that is good for combat. I wouldn't call this a combat-based skill. Nonetheless, it is beneficial. I don't plan on killing goblins anytime soon, but I appreciate the buff.

My cursed system of lust sent me a new message that I do not like. Ew, more goblins to slay? I thought I never had to kill even more of those demonic beasts purposely! Whatever, let's see the rewards of the quest and the penalties for not completing it.

Slay 100 Hobgoblins

Slay 10 Goblin queens

Slay 10 Goblin Breeders

Slay 5 Goblin knights

Slay 3 Goblin Wizards

Slay 1 Goblin King

Reward: All F, D, and C ranks go up by one rank. With the increase in your skills, you will also be granted 10 wisdom points for your wisdom stats.

Penalties: You will lose all F-ranked Skills you possess, including the ones you can only have with your Card Caster skill activated.

Time Limit: 1 Month >

That is not a bad reward. The penalties don't matter in the slightest. I have a month to kill all these demonic beasts, and I will obtain a vast reward. I don't care what people think or call me anymore. I need those skills upgraded, and I definitely need more wisdom!

Okay! After cleaning up, I will go and slay some goblins. I will see if the adventurers guild has a quest for me. Slay goblins to get money and points. Two birds with one stone is a good thing to me.

I got up to realize that my clothes were ripped. I can still wear them, but if I walk out in public with them. No one will have to guess what I was doing. Screw it, I have to get home. I will not look at others while I am going back home.

When I arrived back home, no one was there. Not even Rose was around. Everyone has their own thing going on, too. I put on my gear and headed out to the guild. When I arrived, there was trouble. Apparently, the goblin problem did not die down. They are still a problem, and people refuse to kill those demonic beasts because it is below them.

"Look who is back! The one who is supposed to slay those lowly demonic beasts! We have to talk, you damn F-ranked!" Some big buffed dude with leather armor on.

Was I F-ranked? I thought I had gone up a rank. Do I have to take a test to go up? I should have asked Luna about it when I walked up to the front desk, ignoring that guy. Luna walked towards the desk, and I was walking too.

The guy walked up and put his hand on my shoulder. Ew, listen, I get it. Friends can be friendly to their friends. I hate how his big, fat, grease hand is on my shoulder. I should use my new weapon on him.

"I would advise against it. The less I know that I exist in this world, the better. Also, there is nothing loaded in me. It would take too much time for you to load rounds in me." The weapon I was going to use that is in the shape of a Type 56 said.

I forgot that he could hear my thoughts. Do I have another way of dealing with this situation? I may be given a skill I could use. It would be a little extreme, but I will say I feared for my life.
