A solution of some sort and Another weird encounter .

A headache indeed , those 20 free attributes points could indeed boost my strength again by another margin but here was the problem that was being raised up, should i be really trying to increase the attributes related directly to strength even more , like in adding more points to constitution or increasing the points of strength directly .

Gosh it was the disgusting feeling of being forcedly bound and unable to do what you want again , i already hated that feeling when i first was summoned to this world but i told myself and heard it from the inhabitants of this world mostly from Regard, that if i were able to get enough strength there would be noone or anything capable of being able to bound me or holding me down against my will , so here we are becoming much stronger than even those SSS Ranked entities that were being hailed as the strongest being around here .

Yet, it was such a short-lived happiness because as a result of using that skill i was increasing my strength by so much to the point that i was impacting the world around me forcing it to interfere to neutralize my impact which it decided to do by kicking me out of it, so i only got less than 10 seconds of usage time of the skill otherwise i will be ejected out of the world to who knows where .

So even after becoming that much stronger i was still incapable using this new gained strength as much as i want and to my heart content, being again forced to limit myself since i have no clue about what was exactly waiting for me out there , did being ejected out here meaning that i will be directly thrown to the outer space, heck was the outer space here even the same space as the one in my previous world .

I have a lot of different thoughts , questions, and even some fantasies about new ways of how i should use my new strength of mind and i don't know why but remembering that contemptuous glance that mechanical eyeball gave me before its disappearance were filing me with rage for some reason, ugghhh what a mess .

I clutched my head which was now having a painful headache from all those messy thoughts ganging up on the few brain cells of mine , now that i think about it i have quite the idea on where to use those free attributes of mine at least that's one of the thoughts i currently have .

Another thought of mine was that i could stil continue to add point to the previous mentioned attributes to increase my strength more but if i did this i will have to say goodbye to using my recently acquired ace skill the Obsidian Armor since i don't have any idea about how will the World's Will react to my increased strength and simultaneously impact as well .

Just a few minutes ago , it gave me a 10 seconds period as a warning notice before being sent off on my way, i have no doubt that with my basic strength increasing i won't have that 10 seconds in my next time so yes a road filled with thrones , let's leave the subject of allocating those 20 attributes points for now as to not waste any more unnecessary time, let me see what to get next from the now lying unconscious giant .

First i took the ( Iron Will Regeneration ) ( Passive Skill ) as i felt that it was quite compatible with my fighting style and was quite looking forward to how would much enhancement it could get the skill description went like this :

( Iron Will Regeneration ) ( Passive Skill ) :

Effect : regenerates Stamina and heal major and fetal wounds quickly over time and during battles, speeding up by 100% in defensive positions .

A skill that turned me directly into a tank now in my arsenal i have both a great shield and a great sword and they both complete each other and with that i can be more sure about surviving enough against enemies stronger than me for as long as i want before deciding on how to counter attack, if i understood the skill description correctly it mean that i'm could be said to be quite invincible now .

Breath, breath it doesn't say you are invincible, it only says that if you were to be injured you will have the ability to heal without even having the need to use the Healing Magic skill, you could still die if you were to be obliterated directly by the instantaneous attack of an enemy who won't leave you any chance to heal .

I'm quite thankful to my Pain Resilience skill because even if i were to die suddenly, i won't be able to feel any pain whatsoever, quite the weird line of thinking but it was true to some extent, and could it be that this skill was somewhat related to why was i being so nonchalant about everything that happened or was this just a side effect of my increased strength or maybe all of the reasons above .

Did he really die why wasn't he waking up did i punched him that hard i only used 20% of my actual strength, i guess even using that much strength was still too much for him to handle hopefully he didn't die , but his status window was pointing that he was still alive , severely injured but nonetheless alive .

Another 10 minutes passed and i again used Steal to acquire another passive skill that i liked the passive skill i got this time was :

( Volcanic Mana Essence ) (Passive Skill) :

Effect :

Permanently boost your Mana by 3 times and boosts Mana regeneration by 100% at all times .

So, i will be spamming magical attacks and spells from now on , oh and i will even be able to use a variety of skills from now on uncaring for the amount of Mana it cost and the bonus boost of 3 times the Mana was something really cool , i fought the urge to open my status window and check how it was currently looking like as i wanted to get everything done and sorted before seeing it .

Another 10 minutes passed and i got the weirdest skill on that Goblin Lord status window :

The unique skill ( Unstoppable Advance ) ( Passive Skill ) :

Effect :

After defeating foes or claiming territories permanently increases Agility and Comprehension by 100% .

Counter : 0 .

I never saw a skill like this before, the description was quite understandable until that weird counter that appeared under the description that what certainly what baffled me, could this be a counter for how many enemies or opponent that i could have , or could it be actually related to how many boosts to both Agility and Comprehension i was currently enjoying , can it work on an already defeated opponent like that sleepy Goblin Lord .

I tried to count him as an enemy and sadly it did fail to give me any clear answer on what could that counter be related to exactly .

I was about to finish my skill shoplifting when i noticed a quite remarkable skill that could for certain help me in the battles yet to come and that skill was another passive skill with the name of Mountain's Fortitude , i waited patiently for the cooldown of Steal to end then i used it after 10 minutes to get the last skill that i wanted and the moment i get the skill i used appraisal on it to see how its effects had become and it went like this :

( Mountain's Fortitude ) ( Passive Skill ) :

Effect :

Boosts physical damage resistance by 100% and reduces status effects duration by 100%.

Now i won't have to worry about those curses users like those Goblin shaman and it is not only related to those kind of curses only or i hope so at least .

I believe my mission here was quite a success if we didn't mention the few accidents that happened of course .

Mission !!! , right i still didn't get the hunting task that i came here for in the first place done , an E Rank monster i looked at the still unconscious huge goblin and shook my head at the thought of me getting his head and offering it to the guild .

First i will be questioned about how i an F Rank Adventurer was capable of defeating a S Rank monster and that will create a lot of misunderstandings that i believe that it better to just leave him like this, i already got most if not all his passive skills so his dangerous level and his strength both plummeted to the point that his Rank will change to A Rank soon , second and foremost, it is my own way of telling him that i'm sorry about killing his friend unintentionally of course, so i already decided on leaving him to his fate whether he will be able to escape this place alive or dead or if he was being captured have nothing to do with me anymore but i believe with those goblins, i would be able to ace this hunting task .

I began to head towards the inner zone of the Wicked Forest and used Appraisal to distribute those free attributes points and see by how much did my strength increased .

..... .

I finally decided on how to distribute those 20 free attributes points of mine , with 10 points to Comprehension i was instantly able to organize the messy thoughts on my mind and even has the capacity to think of more than two things simultaneously without any problem arising .

And the other 10 points i thought about them for a long time before i decided to put them in Spirit not caring about how much will that affect my strength but it will increase my Mana points even more so in the end no harm done by investing a few more attributes points on it .

Instantly after i distributed my last 10 points in Spirit, i felt the difference my Spirit as if it was blazing inside of me and my sight was becoming more clearer and sharper too, and felt as if i have some ability to gauge the strength of the sleeping giant some distance behind me to some extent even without using appraisal something like intuition .

I waited for the notification of a new skill but it didn't happen , so i guess that wasn't the work of a skill, what a disappointment and here i thought i would be able to use spiritual sense or something like that but it's still a cool ability as it is .

I began to head in the direction that old man pointed me in a carefree way, thinking about my next hunting target , a Kaiju-0 something that i can probably kill with a punch but the main reason that i was looking for him was to get rid of his psychological influence on my brain being the first monster that i actually met and to vanquish that vision about Hana being killed by him from my mind .

But i believe that in the deepest part of my heart there was a yearning for revenge against the said monster .

A few minutes later i was still walking leisurely as before in the Wicked Forest and i didn't have any discomfort in navigating through the darkness of the forest , just then a swoosh sound came from the sky above me which was followed by another 4 like sounds, i looked up trying to see what were making those sounds and saw for guys actually flying towards the location of the supposedly unconscious Goblin Lord .

And from their Auras, i can tell they were a strong bunch as even the massive monsters on the sky and on the ground were trying to avoid them and some went hiding in their shells directly without missing a beat .

Isn't their arrival a bit too late, most of the humans who were at that safe zone were already massacred by the goblins and those who were able to escape were already heading to the other safe zones, are they just here for the Goblin Lord , were they really so uncaring about saving human lives then why they were acting now .

A few minutes later i hard a few sounds of explosions and even the earth beneath me was trembling but i continued on my way thinking about how can this kingdom be supposed to survive and even prosper under all these circumstances is something that kept me occupied in thinking about it .

Too much occupied perhaps to the point that i wasn't even aware that bonfire appeared some distance away from me .

But when i began to hear the voices of other humans ahead of me, i was pulled off my trance state and looked ahead of me to see a quite familiar face or more like a one day acquaintance Blade Stills , the man who asked me to join his party in the morning .

He was currently sitting beside the bonfire while his bustling teammates were partying and dancing around him but he did look like he did take much interest in doing like they do, i was hesitant about whether to great him or not but i decided not to and was about to leave when i noticed that they all suddenly quietened down at the question of one of them. :

Boss care to tell us more about that kid who you choose as a next target for us .

Our next target is an ex hero, so he must have quite the heavy pockets, i only know this and that his name was Ryuu Sakurai a Rank F Adventurer , an easy prey won't you agree ?
