Chapter 21
August 30, 2014, Supposedly 10:10 a.m. Saturday
Grey was nearing the area where the kobold creatures were wanting for him to make their ambush, the dense forest concealed their presence, making it difficult for Grey to discern their exact location. As he cautiously advanced, he couldn't shake the feeling that every rustle of leaves or snap of a twig could be a sign of impending danger. When a notification suddenly appeared, like he was wearing augmented glasses, this made him stop briefly and think of a question that the AI was able to answer confidently. He answered his question with a simple reply: an unknown force modified the microchip in his body and saw that it was helping in so many aspects of his life.
This unknown force was so strong that it was able to enhance his senses and perception of the world around him. Suddenly, he realized that the heightened awareness he had been experiencing was not just a result of his paranoia, but rather a direct result of the mysterious modifications made to his microchip. Intrigued and filled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension, he couldn't help but wonder who or what was behind this powerful force that seemed to be guiding him towards a new realm of possibilities.
The AI function was to assist him until he could mentally command the ability that was given to him, Reaching the heart of the mountain was his priority because there is material there that he needs to secure before anything else. The AI just told Grey that it was a powerful rechargeable battery that would be beneficial to his main task.

Grey was still confused, but he felt a small hint of danger,o, standing still in an open area was not the smartest choice, so he just agreed and said yes, the blessing mention suddenly rush all over his body like it was electricity travellings simultaneously,d a large train of thought naturally came to his mind. He already knew what to think and how to use this so-called blessing.
a mere thought changed his eyes' perception and he saw what was waiting for him as he reached a certain area on the forest's upward path, The once serene forest now revealed hidden dangers lurking in the shadows. He can visually see and identify the creature in hiding as if they have bodies of dark shadowy Shilowet energy, and he could even hear their breath and heartbeat against the faint rustling of leaves, indicating the presence of predatory creatures lying in wait.
" reaching Level 10 is highly suggested."

"that is all, my god be your sword and shield "
Grey now believes this was not a mere accidental coincidence; this was a fully orchestrated plan by a being higher than destiny itself, and with the help of the small blood vile that was once around his neck, Grey now has undeniable evidence that someone or something manipulated the events leading up to this moment. As he recalled the blood vile, he couldn't help but wonder who possessed such power and what their ultimate intentions were.
Grey was still confused and many question on his mind, but he felt a small hint of danger. Standing still in an open area was not the smartest choice, so he just agreed and said yes, The blessing mention suddenly rushed all over his body like it was electricity travelling simultaneously. A large train of thought came to his mind in a natural way. He already knew what to think and how to use this so-called blessing.
but as for now on his mind is the question of what to do with the impending situation lurking in the shadows, seeing that killing evil beings by purging and cleansing will earn him more experience points, the logical solution was to purge the enemy,
A mere thought changed his eyes' perception, and he saw what was waiting for him as he reached a certain area on the forest's upward path, The once serene forest now revealed hidden dangers lurking in the shadows. He can visually see and identify the creature in hiding as if they have bodies of dark, shadowy Shilowet energy, and he could even hear their breath and heartbeat against the faint rustling of leaves, indicating the presence of predatory creatures lying in wait.
the Four elf were still watching him from a distance when they saw him stop and just remain still as the enemy were already in striking distance, their thoughts were fix at his posible action when he just casually walk rith into the path that was fatal,
As they eagerly watched him, what they witnessed was beyond understanding and disbelief, Two dozen hungry Kobolts rushed toward him, like he knew they were waiting for him, Grey instantly took out his knife and retractable spear and engaged the enemy, his movements swift and calculated. The Kobolts, though hungry, were no match for Grey's well-honed combat skills. With each strike of his weapons, he swiftly incapacitated the oncoming attackers, leaving the onlookers in awe of his prowess.
Combining his military training and quick movements, the enemy soon felt fear as he stabbed and sliced them one by one. With a roundhouse kick as he extended his right arm and stabbed the creature in the chest using his spear and using his left hand to deflect the arrows by cutting them with his knife, Grey's agility and precision were unmatched, allowing him to effortlessly navigate through the chaos of battle. As the Kobolts continued to fall before him, their morale began to crumble. He even used the knife as a long-range weapon, throwing it at any incoming enemy, hitting the beast in the chest of the head and killing it instantly.
He just used a garter rope and tied it at the bolster hole of his knife, and tied the other end to his military wristguard to quickly retrieve the knife after each throw. With each successful strike, Grey's confidence grew, fueling his determination to rid the battlefield of these vile creatures once and for all. As he swiftly moved from one enemy to another, his movements became a blur, leaving the Kobolts in awe and fear of this formidable warrior.

Within an hour, all 24 Kobolts were dead, and Grey was sitting quietly amongst the wreckage, his breath heavy with exhaustion. He surveyed the scene, his mind replaying the intense battle that had just taken place. The victory brought a sense of relief, but also a lingering question of what awaited him next.
Who was watching him this wholee time, observing his every move and waiting for the perfect moment to strike? Grey couldn't shake off the feeling of being constantly monitored as if he were just a pawn in a much larger game. The eerie silence that followed the battle only heightened his unease, leaving him with an unsettling anticipation for what lay ahead.
