006

Goblins are short, green skinned monster that mostly appears in movies and games, they are ugly and has long ears. They are known for their dubious act of stealing and setting traps.

Never in his wildest dream has Zane thought he would be going up against one.

HEI HEI!

The goblin laughed as it looked at Zane, one could easily spot the cunning look on its face.

[ Zane, you are lucky, you found the strange beast disturbing the village lord. It is a Low Rank goblin, slay it ]

The MAGICTECH vibrated, he read Alice's message.

"I am fortunate to be facing a goblin as my first foe, what if it was an hobgoblin? I would have been dead the moment I stepped into the room,"

"Now that I have seen my enemy, it is time to fight it and complete the mission!" Zane grinned excitely.

"I have killed so many goblins in videogames, I would love to experience the feeling of killing one in reality." A smirk appeared on Zane's face.

The goblin, noticing the hostility from the stranger that badged into its hunting next immediately made its move.

HIE HIE!

It tossed a knife at Zane, the knife flew through the air, it was fast like arrow and was coming speedily at Zane.

Nevertheless, Zane immediately activated flash and his body moved from its current position at a speed that would make the fastest runner on earth feel like an amateur.

"So cool," Zane thought as he saw the knife piercing the wall.

If he hadn't used the Flash spell, he would have died.

"You failed to kill me on your first trial, now take this. BOLT!"

Lightning bolt flew from his hand, it hit the goblin on its shoulder.

Zane initially targeted its head but because he was new and hasn't used it on an object before, he didn't succeed.

Nevertheless the hit on the goblin shoulder did its job.

HIE HIE!!

The goblin cried out in pain as it felt a strong amount of electricity wash through its body, causing its muscles to weaken as it fell on the ground.

"The bolt is not strong enough to kill a monster once, but it is helpful to weaken an opponent, it is like taser. But if I am able to aim at its head, neck or stomach. I might be able to kill it." He thought.

"And since I can only fire one ever minute, I would have to rely on my sword." He looked at the sword on his right hand and a wild smile appeared on his face before he used Flash again and appeared beside the hurting goblin.

"Take this,"

He stabbed his sword downward at the neck of the goblin.

But, what Zane wasn't expecting was for the goblin to suddenly move and block with a knife.

"It was faking it," Zane gritted his teeth and moved back.

Goblins are naturally cunning in nature, they are also natural trap masters who can use just any material or situation to their advantage.

HIE HIE!!

The goblin laughed while pointing at Zane. Something about this made Zane furious.

This time, a fierce look appeared on his face.

"Bolt, Flash!" He activated his two spells at the same time.

His feet shot up from his position and he appeared behind the goblin who was too slow to react.

Then he fired the Bolt which meet it's back.

Nevertheless, the goblin was not as fast as Zane and thus wasn't able to react on time.

Before it could react. Zane stabbed his sword through its back.

The goblin fell on the ground, dead!

"Haha," Zane let out a proud laugh as he stared at his first kill.

"You weren't that smart afterall," he mocked.

"What is that," but he suddenly saw something that shocked him.

After the goblin fell on the ground, a ball of light came out of its body and floated towards Zane.

Zane thought it was harmful and tried to fight it with his sword but it was useless. The ball of light entered his body through his chest.

"What the.."

The ball of light passed through his chest and was absorbed by his body without causing him pain.

It was as though his body was water and the light is dry foam which can easily permeate without resistance from the water.

Nevertheless, Zane felt something after three seconds of the light entering his body.

It was a feeling he could not explain but he felt like he is stronger than he was a few minutes ago.

"Alice, is this experience like in those videogames?" He asked.

[ Yes, you remember the introduction, when I told you that you will become stronger? This is what I meant, when you kill a monster, the magic power and combat stat of the monster will be absorbed by you and you would grow stronger ]

"Oh," Zane remarked.

"Why aren't I returning to earth yet, Alice? The mission is completed, right?" Zane asked.

He was expecting a portal to appear and take him back to his room but none appeared.

[ You only found the first one, there are more than one goblins. You need to slay all before you can leave ]

"Eh? Why didn't you inform me about it earlier?" He asked, nevertheless, he got no reply from Alice which made him a little bit frustrated and annoyed.

He walked out of the room and then he heard a loud voice. The voice was very tiny and sweet to the ear, it was the voice of a little girl and from the sound of it. She's in trouble.

"Please save me, the goblin wants to eat my head off! Waaaa!"
