7 Let's Get Out This Cave (1)

--/At Sein Cave /--

On his way, Hunter encountered lots and lots of rats. That's pretty understandable since he was inside a cave. Most of them were 'Lv. 1'. He did encounter some 'Lv. 2' and 'Lv. 3' but they didn't pose a threat.

He was pretty much enjoying himself killing them. It was like as if he was smashing and punching things out of snow. The only difference is that he would always get splattered with blood every after kill.

He didn't have a weapon so he used his fist in fighting. After some time, his stamina dropped to 10 so he decided to take a rest.

He checked his status to see how he improved, considering the hundreds of rats he killed. He heard a lot of 'system notification' while he was fighting but he ignored them.

His current status was like this.

[ Name: Hunter Eiden]

[ Level: 1 ]

[ Age: 13 ]

[ HP: 250/ 280 ]

[ MP: 60/ 120 ]

[ Stamina: 10/130 ]

[ Strength: 28 ]

[ Agility: 28 ]

[ Intelligence: 41 ]

[ Magic: 8 ]

*[ Sense: 23 ]

*[ Skills: Holy Eyes Lv. 1, Boost Lv. 1, Area Detection Lv. 1]

*[ Special Attribute: System Lv. 2, Eyes of Information Lv. 1]

[ Equipment: None ]

Hunter wasn't shocked nor excited about his improvement because he knew he worked hard. His problem now was his stamina.

How will he improve himself if he gets too tired easily? He rested for an hour, fully restoring his stamina and refilling 30 of his MP. He decided to continue.

As he was going, he stumbled upon two passages. He looked at the map to see which way would get him out but it seems he wouldn't need to worry whichever path he took because both would eventually get him to the exit since, on the map, both paths were filled with green arrows.

He went on the left path. As he went deeper, a very strong stench hit his nose which made him exclaimed, "What the hell is that?!"

His voice echoed through the cave and just after a bit, he received a notification.

[ Warning. 'Goblins Lv. 1' and 'Lv. 2' are detected. Prepare for battle. ]

--/ At Sein Cave /--

/Hunter's Point of View/

"Goblins?!" I was shocked a bit. Clearly, I never expected to face some goblins but then again, this is a cave after all. No wonder it reeks in here.

I activated 'Holy Eyes' to just in case they would suddenly rush at me. I focused my sight on the dark tunnel in front of me.

Then, the ground started shaking a little. They were coming. Basing by how they can make the ground shake this much, there were lots of them.

I waited and after a few seconds, the ones in front became visible to me. A monster with pointed ears and yellow teeth, who also had yellow eyes slowly emerged from the darkness. They also brought a powerful odor with them that can make a lady faint.

I tried counting them and there were over twenty 'Lv. 1' and eighteen 'Lv. 2'.

I was really thankful to my special attribute 'Eyes of Information' because it didn't limit to only objects but also monsters. Everytime I look at a monster, I could see it's level floating above it's head.

One of them started talking. Of course I couldn't understand what they were saying. I just readied myself for what was to come.

After they did what was like a meeting, they moved. They divided themselves into two groups. I was glad since I wasn't really sure if I were able to defeat them if they all attacked together.

It seems like they were underestimating me. It kinda pissed me off but, it's okay. I totally get it. Considering how I look like, they might have deemed me as weak.

I picked up a lot of pebbles then I activated 'Boost'. "Hey, are you sure about this?", I mockingly asked the goblins. "If you won't attack me all at once, you will all die easily.", I said confidently.

Of course it was just to anger them. And I think it worked. I'm pretty sure they didn't understand what I said but they knew I was mocking them by my tone.

The first group growled and attacked. With my enhanced strength, I randomly threw the pebbles at them, not caring if it hit them or not.

Some of them were hit and surprisingly, their bodies were really soft. The pebbles went through them without any struggle.

It was really effective so I repeated the process. I quickly grabbed a bunch of pebbles again and threw it at them and slowly, their numbers were decreasing.

The notifications came flowing in like;

[ Note. You have killed a 'Goblin Lv. 1'. You have gained some experience in fighting. ]

[ Note. You have killed a 'Goblin Lv. 2'. You have gained some experience in fighting. ]

[ Note. You have killed a 'Goblin Lv. 1'. You have gained some experience in fighting. ]

...

The second group was alarmed by what happened so they joined the attack. They were still a bit far so I kept threwing pebbles at them.

Their numbers dropped to 11 and I decided to fight them on hand. I punched them since I didn't have any weapons. They really didn't come as a challenge to me.

At last, I killed the last one. I was satisfied by my improvement. I was getting used to fighting. What didn't make me happy now was I stink like a garbage bag filled with rotten things.

I didn't care since no one was around to smell me. I sighed. It's time to see my status.

Huh? Accuracy? Wait... I'm able to gain new statuses? This is weird. This is not like the games I've played before. Well, I am not in a game anyways so this is normal.

[ Answer to that. Those statuses you are able to gain are called 'special statuses'. They are things that anyone can gain through the things they do. ]

So that's how it works. I'm thankful I have the 'System' with me. Let's just get out of here.
