The Awakened Grows To... Like!

[Congratulations! Seth has killed a weak Goblin! You have received 5 EXP!]

[Congratulations! You have killed a weak zombie! You have received 8 EXP!]

[Congratulations! Seth has killed a weak Goblin! You have received 5 EXP!]

The Awakened directed his eyes to the last of the zombie- there was a wide smile on his face. The tingling inside him was almost about to explode.

Under Seth's dead eyes, the Awakened rushed towards the zombie at a rapid pace and like a crude assassin, spun to the zombie's back from right in front of his eyes and stabbed the dagger into its core.

[Congratulations! You have killed a weak Zombie! You have received 8 EXP!]

The zombie's body lost its power and fell dead upon the ground with a light thud.

[Congratulations! You have cleared the third floor of the dungeon. Proceed to the fourth floor to progress your quest.]

As the Awakened gazed at the empty place, littered with corpses. A chuckle escaped his mouth.

[Stealth has been deactivated! You lost 5 mana.]

"Gigi-" The tingling finally became unbearable and the Awakened allowed it to burst out, the bustling emotions took the form of a strange, cackling laughter, "GIGIGIGIGIGI!"

The rotten vocals of the Awakened could barely produce any pleasant sound but the Awakened's heartfelt laughter was just another kind of craziness to Seth's active ears.

Seth blinked his eyes and squatted next to the Goblin he had killed and without any remorse, opened his mouth wide.

[Ding! Seth has devoured flesh! His injuries and mana are recovering!]

Even as the Awakened's laughter died down, the grin atop his face didn't fade.

It was edging him, begging him to do it more! His primal desires- the desire for battle!

The Awakened licked his lips, his eyes were still glinting in a mad light.

He had tasted it... the thrill of battle... and the peace of carnage!

The Awakened put away the dagger whose blade he had discovered to be almost hypnotizing- though he still had much to learn, even that there existed a complex and strange a thing as love!

After much pondering- almost half an hour, he had finally realized that this dagger was the reason Seth had failed to kill the zombie.

Hence why he had started to... hope it always remained with him. So he could get even stronger and stronger.

As the Awakened shifted his attention from the dagger, he suddenly felt as if his power had been drained somewhat.

He tilted his head, feeling confused.

[Ding! You have depleted some of your mana. Please devour flesh to speed up your recovery.]

"Grr!?" The Awakened blinked his eyes in surprise and slowly... stepped closer to the goblin corpses.

Studying Seth as he kept biting into the goblin's flesh and gulping it down, he noticed how the small wounds on Seth's body had patched up.

The Awakened got mesmerized and copied. His throat moved non-stop as large chunks of flesh slid down into his gut.

[Ding! You have devoured the worst quality meat. You have recovered 1 mana.]

[Ding! You have devoured the worst quality meat. You have recovered 1 mana.]

[Ding! Do you wish to trace the origin of the meat? Yes/No?]

The notifications kept appearing three more times before they suddenly stopped.

The Awakened, feeling his power reach its max and not grow anymore, grumbled in dejection and turned his attention to the notifications.

Blinking his eyes curiously, he clicked Yes.

[Ding! Origin trace failed!]

"Grr!?" The Awakened's eyes widened as he quickly forgot about it.

Seth had also long recovered, but unlike the Awakened, he didn't stop until he had gulped down the entirety of the goblins.

The Awakened felt amused by Seth's actions and didn't stop him.

After seeing Seth was done and had taken up one of the wooden clubs on the floor, the Awakened felt something inexplicable in his heart as he glanced at the remaining four weapons.

They were crude and didn't look much but still... Seth had gained something he didn't!

His eyes constantly wandered from the club in Seth's hand to the ones lying around. Causing Seth to tilt his head.

Slowly and wearily, the Awakened squatted down next to the clubs and curiously poked at them.

"Grr!" Seth tilted his head, confused at the comical actions.

The Awakened, hearing Seth's groan, tilted his head and... extended his hand.

[Wooden Club acquired!]

Feeling a new and profound feeling in his chest, the Awakened stared at the club in his hand in awe. "Grrr!"

He purred happily and alongside Seth, charged over to the next floor, acquiring a new skull called theft.

There were a total of 10 Goblins on this floor again. But they were all armed with clubs!

"Gigi!" The Awakened chuckled and started to walk over.

Seth feeling the Awakened's desire erupt for a battle- followed the will like it was a command!

Suddenly, his presence decreased and his speed grew.

He sneaked up next to a Goblin and using his new-found power- struck the Goblin on the head.

"Gaa-" The Goblin lost its rapid momentum as its speed started to decrease with each step. It held its head which had caved in slightly and stood still. Slowly, its brain threatened to shut down.

Seth didn't even give him the chance to lose consciousness and struck the Goblin's head again.

[Congratulations! Seth has killed a weak Goblin. You have received 5 EXP!]

"Grrr!" The Awakened groaned and with a large smile, started to run forward.

A club gripped in his left hand and a dagger in his right.

His speed increased with each step as if the rust was being shaken off of his gears.

"GRRR!" The Awakened roared manically and sped past Seth.

He stopped near the first Goblin and stabilized his body with priority instead of attacking instantly.

"GAAA!!" The Goblin growled and swung its club with both hands. It barely felt any hesitation now after seeing one of them getting killed in cold blood.

The Awakened blinked and gazed down at the club, feeling nothing at all, he tilted his head and blindly swung his club towards the Goblin.

The club created a light thud- even the gentle force used by the Awakened caused the Goblin to stagger backward. Making its body go cold for a second.

"Gaa!!" The Goblin shook off the numbness and got serious, feeling the impact behind that hit. With utmost solemnity, it leaped at the Awakened.

"Grr!?" The Awakened exclaimed in surprise and raised his club again and smashed it into the Goblin's head.

[Congratulations! You have killed a weak Goblin! You have received 10 EXP!]

As the Awakened looked forward, he saw Seth throwing away his fourth Goblin.

He noticed a peculiar detail, unlike him, Seth didn't stop in front of the Goblins and took the initiative and instantly attacked when he got in range.

"Grr!" Feeling upset at his own slow pace and impressed by Seth's swiftness, the Awakened rushed forward toward the Goblins at high speed.

The Goblin couldn't even react as the Awakened appeared in front of him and instantly slammed his club at its skull.

"Grr!" The Awakened groaned and plunged the dagger into the Goblin.

Seeing a notification pop up in front of him, he stopped and gazed at the other Goblins.

In the time he was gazing around, Seth had killed another Goblin and had charged over to the other one.

The Awakened giggled all of a sudden, he... liked this!

The feeling of constantly getting closer and closer to more power!

The feeling of crushing another life and rising upon it... he liked it!! His mouth opened as he let loose a mellow purr, "Grr!"
