Chapter 37: Trying It Out

World Volume One out now! https://a.co/d/8k54qPk

"Enchainment," I said out loud, looking at that man by turning my neck. Black chains appeared from the ground and entangled the man. The man who was being aggressive with me started to make noise as he was confused. All of the conversations in the guild went quiet.

"Um. Is that a new skill you obtained?" Luna said with wide eyes. She must be scared I used a skill out of nowhere. Wait, didn't she see this at the recent battle?

"Yeah, it is a new skill. I didn't particularly appreciate using it, but someone was being aggressive towards me. I was scared and wanted my fellow worker to stop." I said with a slight smile.

"I see. So, um, what can I do for you?" Luna said with eyes darting back and forth.

"I would like to know the situation with the goblins and wonder what jobs are open with it," I said with another smile, but brighter.

"Well, since you are Ranked D, I can give you jobs one rank above. However, since goblins are still a problem, Anyone can take any ranked quest on goblins. Would you like to see the list of jobs opened?" Luna said with a wry smile.

I took the jobs recommended and left the guild. Luna wanted me to free the aggressive man. I had to apologize and say that I couldn't deactivate the skill unless I got far away. I lied, of course, because I had no idea how to deactivate that skill specifically. I was hoping that by being away, it would all blow over.

I took quests to kill many goblins. I want some side money. I have plenty of money, but I plan on using money for better services. If I spend money without making it, then eventually, I will run out. It took me two hours to get to the places with a bunch of farms.

I could have used my Card Caster skill and summoned dragons by choosing the dragon world. It would decrease the time significantly. I was able to get a ride out here on a carriage. This opportunity is good for me since I did not have to walk all the way here. I was surprised to see a carriage out here allowing people to travel more freely.

With the activity of goblins running amuck near the city, I expected people to be afraid of going out on the road. Who in their right mind wants to be attacked by demonic beasts? Granted, I am weak, while people are strong enough to handle goblin-type beasts. It takes work for me to kill even one of them. In contrast, others can kill goblins quickly.

If strength is a problem, why not take one of the 1k stat-raising potions? Let's go with the strength one today! I opened my system app and opened the mail tab. Once there, I looked through my mail and saw the one with the strength-raising potion. I clicked on it, and it manifested in the hand that I clicked the picture with.

Here goes nothing! As I drank the potion, I could feel my muscles twitch. Well, I did gain a lot of strength out of nowhere. I also got more than 1,000 worth of points. I got a total of 1,510 points into the strength stat. I have to rest for a second. Once my muscles heal, I will activate my card caster skill.

After resting, I activated my skill and chose the warrior world—the one filled with human warriors. My starting hand was just okay. It was not filled with many strong ones. Or at least that is what I think at first glance. It seems like there are a lot of new faces. I used my new skill to summon my arsenal. I then grabbed the Type 56 from the storage skill, and a sense of strength flowed through me.

"Good to see you are ready to use me in a more appropriate situation, Comrade." The Type 56 said.

"Comrade? We are friends?" I said, confused about how friendly the weapon was acting.

"I think we are friends. Since if we aren't, could I just leave now?" The Type 56 said.

Well, I guess since he is staying here of his own free will, we can be friends. I have qualms with the idea of being friends with an item. Regardless, we are both here now. I should use this weapon and test it out.

I manifested a clip of ammo from my weapon storage skill, and now there is a clip in my hand. I put the ammo in my belt pouch for the time being and put my hand on the metal piece called the bolt. I pulled it back and then grabbed the clip from my pouch.

I inserted the clip in the slot where the clip was supposed to go. I then tried doing the trick it told me, but I just pushed it down as hard as I could.

"Remember what I said! Pull the first round-up with your pointer finger! Then, push down with your thumb." The weapon said as I closed the bolt back. Okay, from what I remember, it is primed and ready. He said a safety thing was near the pull thing. Ah, here it is. I pushed the safety feature in place, blocking the pull tab.

I walked to a part of the woods that was not near any houses or farm plots. It only took me a moment to see a group of three goblins. I did what I was instructed to do. Point my weapon at the lower neck and flip the safety feature off. Then pulled the pully thingy.
