2 ¡Denying reality!
Revised
------
Kayla, who had recently killed the goblin, suddenly felt a current of warmth run through her body.
¿This... is the system?
She could still see the panels to the side, floating peacefully. And based on that, she did what anyone in his situation would do.
"Status" Kayla made sure that no goblin would listen to her.
And as if by magic, several panels appeared before her, displaying various data.

"Wow..." Kayla was surprised. Although she was not sure, she felt that her state was quite good. Not to mention his innate foresight skill, which he assumed was the reason he could see "illusions."
¿But what are those strange letters in the state? Kayla again inspected the letters resembling a child's scribbles in her innate skills.
"Did that damn Goddess do something...?" Kayla cursed. That damn cow was getting on her nerves. If I'm barely getting by with my abilities, what will happen if my classmates are in a similar situation to me? Will they die... Will Lyle do it?
Sadness invaded Kayla's mind, but the sounds of the fire and the screams of children and women that did not stop brought her out of her melancholy.
"Ha... I don't think I have the luxury of worrying about others..." Kayla shook her head and reached for the goblin's spear. "I just hope you're okay..."
Kayla, with spear in hand, peeked out of a half-fallen wall and checked the town, or well, what was left of it.
The goblins, who were hundreds, divided up. Half of them concentrated on burning the town's houses with torches while laughing vilely.
The goblins, armed with rusty weapons, mercilessly killed the few remaining men in the village and incapacitated the women, either by cutting off their legs or rendering them unconscious, to drag them across the ground towards who knows what kind of hell...
And Kayla, who witnessed all of this, felt something rise up her throat as she trembled.
¿¡How can there be a being capable of doing this?!
Kayla's already strong hatred for goblins went up another level. Even more so when she was able to see how some goblins caught a girl of at most 12 years old and cut off her legs, while they dragged her crying to what she assumed was his lair...
She hated herself for not standing up at that moment and shouting things like, "Stop, you vermin, or you will suffer the consequences of your actions!"
But no, the reality was different, she was not a hero with the power to save people... her reality was that of being a girl hiding behind some rubble, trembling like a newborn deer without being able to do anything. ...
No! She refused to let it end like this, to let things be so tragic! I refuse to accept that this is my reality!
Kayla clenched the spear in her hands and made a decision.
¡Although she didn't know if she could save one person today, she swore that all these green wretches would die!
And to do this she needed to increase her strength, no matter how minimal... And she had something that could help her with that.
"State," Kayla intoned in a deep voice as she moved her fingers in the air.

Kayla again felt a current of warmth run through her body and new information began to flow through her brain.
She could feel how her body became stronger instantly. But more importantly, she felt that she could control her body better, see her surroundings and analyze it faster, know where to strike instinctively...
"Yes... This is the power I need." Kayla clenched and released her fist, feeling that she could undoubtedly slaughter those goblins.
¡Crack!
Blood escaped Kayla's face from her.
The future ghost of a goblin, as she had decided to call the "illusions" she saw with her innate ability, was staring at her as he stood next to the wall she was leaning on!
¡Without hesitation, she thrust her spear toward the gray goblin's eye, just in time for the real goblin to appear!
The spear passed through the goblin's eye without any problem, splashing green blood on Kayla's face!
[¡You have killed Lv 4 goblin!]
[+15 experience]
[+10 for defeating a higher-level enemy]
Kayla resisted the urge to vomit and pushed the bile back into place as she wiped the blood from her face with her uniform. "Well, I guess I can check being bathed in goblin blood off my bucket list..." Kayla grumbled, but her bad mood disappeared when she saw the weapon the goblin had.
A knife!
"Good, the knife is the weapon I feel most comfortable with!" Kayla yelled softly.
¡With this, I will be able to kill the goblins with ease!
But Kayla's happiness didn't last long...
"Guark!"
¡Three goblins saw her kill her brother and were running towards her!
¡Three damn goblins!
Kayla lt for the hundredth time the blood escaped from her face and she backed away, entering further into the cathedral. There were more walls and it was unlikely that the other goblins would see her.
As she backed away, she grabbed her spear and threw it towards the future ghost of the slower goblin, ¡hitting the foot of the real one!
I knew it was a good idea to join that archery class last year! Kayla was grateful for the archery classes that greatly improved her aim.
Without waiting for their companion, the two goblins continued running toward Kayla.
"Okay... Now I just have to take care of these two quickly... Easy" Kayla smiled bitterly.
She concentrated on the movements of the two goblins, on their future ghosts... Waiting for the best moment to kill them with one blow.
And that moment came quickly when the goblin in the lead, possessing an ax that it carried with some difficulty, attacked.
Kayla, with her innate skill, had seen that the goblin took exactly two seconds to raise the ax... Long enough for a knife to be inserted into its neck.
Not wanting to miss that opportunity... ¡Kayla lunged towards the goblin, directing her knife to where the goblin's neck was going to be in a few seconds!
And to prove that her power did not fail, Kayla felt her knife pass through something with some difficulty before she felt a hot liquid in her hand.
[You have killed an Lv 4 goblin!]
[+15 experience....]
Kayla heard some sounds of notifications in her ear and a current warmth passing through her body, but she didn't have time for that, as she collided with the dead body of the goblin from the jump she made at the beginning, falling into the floor above him...
Eww, I don't want to be on top of a gobl-!
"¡Aack!"
¡Kayla felt her eyes watering from the sudden pain in her ribs!
Which caused her to roll on the ground quickly, narrowly avoiding the second goblin's spear that had finally caught up with her!
"¡Shit!" Kayla shouted in a muffled voice as she hurriedly stood up.
Just in time to dodge the future ghost of the spear that was thrown towards her right leg, thus avoiding the real one.
"Damn, bastard... ¡Now you'll pay me back!" Kayla ran angrily towards the unarmed goblin.
And the poor goblin, who thought he would hit her, stood paralyzed with fear as he watched Kayla approach.
¡He couldn't even resist when Kayla jumped and kicked him, knocking him to the ground before stabbing her knife into his eye!
[¡You have killed a Lv 3 goblin!]
[+ 15 experience]
Kayla wiped away the blood that splattered on her face and approached the goblin she had wounded with the spear at the beginning and killed it cleanly.
[¡You have killed a Lv4 goblin!]
[+15 experience]
And after all that, Kayla fell to the ground, exhausted.
"Oh fuck, I really hate goblins..." Kayla still felt a phantom pain in her ribs.
"Although, well, I guess thanks to this I know that the future ghosts generated by foresight cause me phantom pain proportional to what I would feel if I don't dodge the actual attack..." Kayla muttered as she used her extra stat points from leveling up and looked at her new stats.
[... Statistics:

"Well, apparently leveling up raises all your stats by one point... Cute" Kayla smiled as she saw her increasing strength stat.
She would no doubt need it for what she was about to do...
"Well..., I guess it's time for the rest haha" Kayla laughed sinisterly as she heard the screams of the goblins in the town.

Dear readers, I am editing the first chapters of my work since they had many spelling errors (I don't promise that it will be perfect, but it should be a little more readable)
I also made some small changes that did not affect the work.
The main one would be that Kayla calls the things she can see with her innate ability "ghosts from the future." So in the next few chapters there may be some inconsistencies with this.
And the inconsistencies are going to last a while, since I will only be able to edit two chapters a day at most during the week, since I am busy on the weekends.
I hope this doesn't bother new readers too much.
The edited chapters will have the notice at the beginning, which will be: "Revised"
