Probably something to drink wouldn&#8217;t be bad either.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Oh, by the way, the short rest has paid off because my HP has increased to [3\/10]. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>As I move along the cave wall covered in roots and mushrooms, I realize that I do not really hear much. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>There are my footsteps and an occasionally howling of a breeze but other than that it is very quiet. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>After some time of dragging myself along I suddenly notice how the cave is getting much bigger.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Probably as big as a small family house. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>All over the walls are again these glowing mushrooms, there are even a couple of them that are a bit bigger.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Then a few hanging roots. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>and then I see something in the middle of the room to my surprise an unformed quite large green mushroom.<\/p>\n<p>About the size of a small child. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>hold on&#8230; &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I take a closer look at the green mushroom until cold sweat starts to run down my neck. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>This &#8216;mushroom&#8217; declared by me is actually a rather skinny figure with a large deformed head&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&#8230;which moves. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>To describe this a little more precisely a thin green figure with two arms and legs, a bulging belly but otherwise skinny look and a face that cannot be described nicely in any way.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>What is a goblin doing here? &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Please don&#8217;t tell me I woke up in a goblin nest? Very bad joke fate. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Like frozen I&#8217;m standing here for a while now and don&#8217;t dare to let the goblin out of my sight. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I am in no condition to run away from the goblin, I already have my problems with walking. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Either I was a really bad person in my former life or fate just doesn&#8217;t like me. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>The goblin as if he could smell me turned around and looked me directly in the eyes.<\/p>\n<p>These yellow demon eyes and this drooling&#8230;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>*gag* &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>That was probably the start signal for the green monster, and it ran. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I turned around and wanted to get away, but the next moment the goblin was already next to me. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>How did he get there so fast? &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>He smacked me into the wall, and I fell to the floor. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Standing above me, the green creep hit me with his club. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Despite the fact that the goblin is only as big as a child, it has a lot of power. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Or am I just that weak? &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>His wooden club hit me on the arms, which I held in front of my head for protection.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>*gack* *gah* &#8220;hya ha ha&#8230;&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>The Goblin laughed as he tore at my already tattered&nbsp;dress. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>His claws cut into my flesh as well as one would manage to get through with a knife. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I screamed and tried to find anything to defend myself. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I don&#8217;t know how I came up with it or why I even have something so sick in my head but I couldn&#8217;t think of anything better at that moment. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Without waiting to long, I rammed the filthy beast my thumbs in the eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>yes pain is incoming.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Screaming in pain, the goblin tried in vain to hit me with its claws. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>After I have created some space between me and the creature I could see that I got him quite well.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>His club is lying in front of him. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Out of instinct, I grabbed the club and beat the shit out of him. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I really put all my strength into my strikes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is either him or me.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>After a long time and many, many exhausted breaths later, I leaned against the wall and looked at the&#8230; I don&#8217;t even know how to describe it&#8230;.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&#8220;so there are goblins here, yeah&#8221; &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&#8220;beginner monsters of course. Who are you kidding?! Next time please use the easy mode and not nightmare!&#8221; &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>This single battle I had against this green monster really took everything out of me. Not only have I injured my already battered body even more, no, my dress is also only in tatters.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The only thing left to thank is my underwear that I&#8217;m not sitting here completely naked. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>But it is in a beautiful black, with white flower pattern. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>As I try to calm my much too fast beating heart I see only in my field of vision My HP bar. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&#8220;uhhh&#8230; that was really a close one. Only 1 HP left.&#8221; &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Despite the fact that the goblin hit me like a wild animal and also inflicted a few scratches, it didn&#8217;t do that much damage.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>[4 soul points gained] &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>[Rename soul points to XP] &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>[1x Goblin Killed 4XP]&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&#8220;ha.. Hahahh. So I&#8217;m in a game now eh?&#8221; &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Xp and leveling it does have its appeal. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>But if they&#8217;re all that strong, how am I supposed to make it at all? &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Shaking my head, my gaze falls on the goblin. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Well, I must say that I have improved his face. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Somthing comes to my mind and it is not something propper.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Let&#8217;s call it curiosity, but I just had to know. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>So I went over to the green monster and lifted his waist cloth, which is nothing more than a piece of scrapt cloth, only to blush. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Well, I would have expected much more at this point.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>So&#8230; &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Nobody can tell me that&#8230; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>i mean&#8230;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>This is supposed to be a race that multiplies by, let&#8217;s call it mating, of other races? &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>Let&#8217;s just leave it at that. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>My laughter dies down as soon as I realize what I have just escaped from here. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I as a current girl, will probably not be killed by them&#8230;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>JUST STOP from thinking about it at all!&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I swear for my own well-being it is my duty to eradicate these monsters if possible. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>But before I begin this life task, I should try to get out of here first. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>The break I had was long enough and my HP recovered to a whopping [4\/10]. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>I grab the goblin&#8217;s club and head to where I found the him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1055,"featured_media":11795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-19626","novel-chapter","type-novel-chapter","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novel-chapter\/19626"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novel-chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/novel-chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1055"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novel-chapter\/19626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fore-lore.org\/wpforelore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
