Monster notes:

[Goblins]

Goblins are green rough-skinned humanoids with pointy ears, claws, fangs, and long noses. Some goblins evolve and become bigger than the size of a grown man, while others can't evolve naturally and will have to go hunting other species to evolve. They often dress in loincloths, though more resourceful ones gather armour or clothes, and carry crude or stolen weapons to use.

Goblins are commonly found in dungeons or caves and rely on attacking from the dark corners or the back in huge groups. Goblins will be stealing from settlements to sustain themselves(If they aren't in the dungeon).

The place a group of goblins are living together is referred to as a 'goblin nest' or a 'goblin village'(depends on the number of goblins in one place) however sometimes you meet goblins that constantly move around and never stay in one place, therefore they will be called 'Scavengers'. Goblins are usually male and rarely adventurers can find a female in the pack, but males possess the ability to breed with any race.

Goblins have an excellent sense of smell, especially when it comes to prey. They can even smell metal. They also have excellent night vision; if they detect any light in their nest, they know there are intruders.

Inside the dungeon, in one of the crystal caves, a small blue creature could be seen. He couldn't stop looking ahead because the view was opening up in front of his eyes. An endless cave with countless multicoloured crystals emitting light, he could see crystal and stone monoliths and different types of pillars that supported the entire weight of this cave. As soon as he lowered his gaze to the bottom of the cave, he saw canyons of different sizes and depths.

At first, this little Pafoot was stunned by the magnificent view of the dungeon floor on which he was reincarnated. But he took hold of his emotions and turned around. He quickly stomped into the cave. Edgar knew that there must be other creatures around and currently he wasn't a match for them.

After reading his skills Edgar decided to go deeper to find an area without light and while he was going he tried to listen and spot anything dangerous to him. When Edgar was reincarnated his head was filled with information. One of the things he knew was that every being here has a system so it can few its stats and if you try to learn the skill, for example being in the dark or trying to resist poison, which will grant you skills.

After finding one of the darkest places he could, he started to dig. He kept digging and expanding this place. He kept digging for an unknown period of time until he heard.

*Ding*

[Digging lvl - 1 ] ----> [Digging lvl - 2 ]

[ night vision lvl 1 ]

Edgar: 'Great, it's time to go and find some crystals to eat… What should I do after eating some crystals? I should try to find some of my relatives. I can't fight any clever creature and even if I can find a stupid one it can still run away because of my slow speed.'

Edgar: 'I can try to find the weak creature and then mount it while allowing them to hit me to gain stacks of Second wind and kill them using it as well as if I'm lucky I can gain some other skills.'

Edgar: ' The best scenario will be if I can find some newborns or not hatched creatures so it's easy to kill. However, it will still take lots of time considering my damage. Let's weigh it out until I can evolve, it's no point rushing. But if I get a chance I will totally use it.'

Edgar kept stumbling forward until he reached one of the cave's pockets where he found multiple crystals growing from the walls.

He quickly stumbled to one of the crystals and started to munch on it.

*bite* *bite* *bite* *bite* *bite* *bite* *bite* *bite* *bite* *bite* *bite*

He continued biting it until he managed to break it into small pisses and started to swallow them.

[ Cristal absorption lvl - 1 ] [20/20]

Edgar: ' what should I do now, hmm, oh yes I need to find some of my relatives but where should I start?'

Edgar: 'eh, I'll just try to find them on my way'

With that thought, Edgar stumbled back where he came from, as soon as he reached the exit of the cave he slowly started to go down the hill.

When he reached the bottom he looked around and kept stumbling forward and up the small bridge which connects two sides. Even though Edgar never was scared of height he didn't want to look down into the canyons. While he was walking across the bridge he spotted something in one of the caves watching him. He was about to turn to words but then had a brilliant idea. If he allows it to watch him he might get '6 sense ' or 'Presence detector' or he might get 'stealth' if hides from it. So he kept going and not long after reached the other side of the canyon.

Edgar: "It's following me! Heh maybe I should lead it into the trap, after all, it's lots of crystals around me, but before that, I need to hide somewhere and put dirt on myself to hide my scent.'

It wasn't hard to notice a big monolith in front so he kept acting like he didn't notice the creature behind him and as soon as he got a chance he went around the monolith and started to dig, roll and chalk soil and sand on himself. When he finished doing so he was hidden by the crystals and used his shell to camouflage with them.

Edgar: "It would be better if I had a rock or something heavy to pin it down. Nah, I have no time for something like that so let's just play a waiting game and allow it to come close.

He patiently waited and started to count in his head how many seconds had passed.

Edgar: '10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20… 48 Something isn't right I don't believe that this creature could take that long to come round the corner it was around 20 meters away from me. Wait a second so if it's not going around the corner…. THEN IT HAD TO GO UP.'

Edgar quickly moved his eyes down to see if there's a shadow anywhere on the floor because if he started moving he might give away his position. Unfortunately for him there was one shadow slowly scrolling down. He couldn't understand what type of creature was there because it didn't look like any earth creature as well as it wasn't humanoid.

Edgar: 'It must be some sort of insect, however, it wouldn't be so hard to dill with if only it didn't HAVE THIS MUCH INTELLIGENCE!'

Edgar: ' Think, think, think, think, think Edgar, what options do I have now?Will digging work? no, it will be noticed. Should I turn around and try to attack it? no, it will notice if it didn't do it already, as well as I'm not that fast so it will jump and if it climbs on me I can only rely on my armour until I shake it off as well as it's too high up for me to even get to it.'

Edgar: 'I should risk and run and zig-zag so it can't aim accurately. This is probably the only option I have'

When he was about to jump he got a notification which prevented him from running

[Camuflage lvl - 1]

[Presence detector lvl - 1]

Edgar: 'It's really close! forget about running. I will be dead before I move.'

Using his new skill he feels something next to him. It was just a few meters away, so he carefully and slowly moved his eyes. What he saw made him want to run away and hide until he evolves and gets skills of area damage. He saw a creature with six sharp arrows like cristal legs with a small crystal body with some parts covered in strong armour however it had barely any protection at its belly and its rear. It reminded him of the butterfly. These butterfly front legs were different from others because they reminded Edgar of a sickle. On its face, it had 12 eyes. 6 eyes on each side of the head. The only frightening part of that butterfly was Its proboscis. When it got close to Edgar it unfolded Its proboscis. It was at least twice as long as the butterfly's body. But the shape of the proboscis was like a spear. The butterfly was confused about where its prey went but then noticed something moving and did a strong strike at the crystal. Its proboscis pierced through the crystal and hit something on the other side. It pierced something just a few feet away from Edgar

Edgar: 'Ok come down Edgar it's only a huge butterfly. It is just a little bit bigger than you, I thought it was way bigger. But that proboscis is the biggest problem! But looking at its armour I can say that it has given up its flying ability because I can't see wings. It's my only chance to run! '

Edgar: 'Forget about it, I should take a risk and attack because it's exposed itself.'

With that thought, Edgar dived at its proboscis however it didn't go unnoticed by the butterfly and it tried to retract its proboscis. but the next second its made a high pitch screen because of Edgar bite

Edgar: 'GOTCHA'
