chapter
Goblins are a blank slate an unwritten book ready to be written a single entity with so much potential never to be tapped for them to only to die early into there life either of a tribal war, hunting mistake or starvation. They have the highest potential of all known races only to be subject to being the lowest on the food chain. Why are they so low on the food chain.
The universe is fair. One may be born strong with good potential but they only have a child every 10 years or as in the goblins case nearly infinite potential but born with a body so weak that you can die due to tripping over a stick and a mind so primitive that they can not just survive until you can bank on there potential to do the rest for them. But this is a very good thing for every race out there as if goblins had a higher intelligence and just survived long enough to start there crazed evolutions turning themselves into what they exactly need to survive and its not themselves to survive its for there tribe to survive.(AN. Intelligence isn't actually how smart you are its just how fast your mind process stuff. Tho if you have a higher intelligence you tend to be smarter as you learn faster)
Why do I say their tribe and not individual survival one goblins evolve into what suits best what they are doing. Two most unevolved goblins have no care for there lives and care more for there next generation. Third Goblins care for what you do for the tribe not how strong the best example being how Goblins leaders are the most skilled in there tribe not just the strongest but usually, they are also the strongest and finally the last it is believed that Goblins in a tribe are subconsciously connected to all the other goblins in there tribe effecting the way the evolve the best example would be when a group of scientists captured a Goblin Chief. The goblin chief was from a tribe of goblin giants these tribes are known for not having any trackers or assassins in their tribes. Yet despite that, the Goblins started to evolve into versions with better scenes especially in hearing smell and sight and than their bodies started compressing in size making allowing them to keep their extreme strength but removing their obvious weakness meaning they became faster and more nimble and lastly their skin to changed becoming less distinct with there previous vibrant green skin for a darker skin tone closer to a black of a green. But that wasn't all that changed they started gaining classes that allowed them to track and hide. This all took place over half a month. In the end, the Goblins tracked down the ones who kidnapped there chief infiltrated the base freed there chief and got the Chief out before destroying the entire base after they saved their chief and several other species in captivity there.
And you all know the name of this tribe the Giants Furry. For those who were wondering yes they did keep their name from when they were an exclusive giants tribe.

With those two skills done bob started making his third skill only to be interrupted by a notification that he would be teleported to the auction in 1 min.
Tik quickly accepts the quest rewards. Put the skill books into my inventory we don't have enough time to look them over. After getting Tik to claim the rewards I take a quick glance at my
EP 3470 at least I have a bit of EP. (Creating 2 skills. weekly quest reward x2. and killing of animals around sanctuary. I Don't think you want a mindless hunting chapter. I might be wrong.)
after waiting about 20 secs after checking everything the world before my fades out and a giant colosseum shaped building appeared with Millions of people appearing around me but unlike me they started moving towards the entrance of the Colosseum before disappearing.
I guess that's the way to the auction. Following the crowd towards the entrance of the Colosseum, the Colosseum appears as if it is Reaching into the sky with no goal only to reach as far as it can as there is no seeable end to just how far up it reaches despite only 100 meters behind me it looks as if I can see the top.
As I step past the entrance again the world fades out and this time I am in a room quite a large room to be as there is a man in a corner of this room that is at least 20 feet tall and he isn't touching the roof nor does it look like he's can reach the roof but at the top were the roof is there is a bunch of creature flying around up there. Looking down to the ground again there are groups of people chatting while occasionally looking over to the centre of the room where there was a giant timer counting down currently it was at 57:35.
Knocking me out of my somewhat thought trance was a loud voice coming from behind me with a somewhat mechanical sound to it.
"Get moving your being called up to the desk."
Turning around to the voice was what one would describe as your typical dwarf but instead of him having a right arm there was a cannon attached to his shoulder with several other mechanical parts sticking out from his body.
"What are ye starin at get going."
Turning away from him I scanned the room for a desk. There was a desk right in the middle of the room with a woman sitting in a chair. She had silver skin with white hair tied up into a ponytail while wearing a black dress that went very well with her skin colour and her white hair.
noticing me looking over she waves me over. Walking over to the desk she smiles at me while scanning me. once she finished scanning me a voice which I could only describe as sweat yet powerful came out of her.
"Which auction room would you wish to join."
After a few seconds of staring at me, she noticed that I had quite a confused expression plastered on my face.
She just continues her smile while a screen appeared in front of her and disappeared just as quickly as it appeared but it left a single piece of paper and what I saw on the piece of paper was my name with my birth date on it.
"Ohh you are from the new expansion. That explains you act like a lost child."
Giving me another quick scan. but it wasn't just her it was the entire room I could feel they eyes scanning me.
The woman before me clapped twice breaking the silence that has enveloped the area.
"Ok, that's enough everyone."
At her words, the room quickly becomes as it was before.
"Ok since you don't know I will explain this to you. Each Auction room can hold a total of 1000 people. 900 Normal people and 100 VIP. Each Auction room has a special item that the other auction rooms do not have. Your current status is VIP. Any questions?"
"Why am I a VIP and what does me being a VIP do?"
"VIP doesn't work with your wealth or power it works as how tied to an important storyline you are or if you are an Important quest giver. You being a VIP gives you 10000 EP off all your purchases also a Private auction room for the auction with food and drink that have special benefits specially prepared for you and you don't have to worry all the food is made a special way to allow undead to taste the flavour of the food. This applies only to the auction house as different System run places have different benefits for VIP people. Phh before I forget the 10000 off only works on Items that cost have had there prices raised to 15000 or more. any other questions."
"That's all thank you."
"Before you go I you still have to pick an auction room. From looking at your information I would recommend you go to Auction room #482774 as the special Item there is the Lich creator system upgrade. and that auction room is my personal auction room and you know I could use some more money."
[You have been invited to auction room #482774. do you wish to join yes/no]
Yes.
After noticing I accepted She smiled at me and waved me to the side before calling someone else's name continuing what shes suppose to do.
As I leave the desk I see a man coming towards me covered head to toe in solid silver armour with golden patterns on it with a tower shield on his back and a Long sword strapped to his waist.
Once he's in front of me he reaches to grab my collar and picks me before glaring me in the eye.
"Yhoues Filthyy undead will be purged by the Holy and true people of yhour world az yhoue have nho place among the holy." He kept rambling on about how I would be purged by the holy and how his guild would come to my world and finish purging us as to clear his god's name.
This lasted quite a while until a man in jet black armour with A blood red highlighting all the connecting points of his armour while on his back there was a large Greatsword just as black as his armour and on the sides of his armour there are two small crossbows strapped to his waist. The man walked up to the one currently holding me in the air before placing a hand on his shoulder and whispering him something which caused him to put me down and leave but not without giving me and the man in the black armour some death glares through his helmet.
"Hey, there sorry about that guy. We use to serve the same god before my god betrayed everyone to switch sides and now my old god is talked down upon in the holy circles and disliked as a once evil god. So he's quite adamant on making his god appear better. Ohh, by the way, I am Séjlimåhy and I am a revenant.
You know its quite rare to see an undead who has kept his appearance from when he was alive."
"I am Bob I am a"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TRYING TO POACH A ELEMENTAL."
A large being made completely out of Ice in the Form of your typical lizardman but taller and made of White Ice.
"I ain't poaching an elemental he's clearly an undead just look at his mana."
"No, he's definitely an Elemental I can sense his core."
"Hey, Bob you are an undead right."
"No your an elemental I can sense tell this undead is right."
"You see I am not really either I'm kinda a mixture you see I am a Demi Elemental Lich."
They both looked at each other for a few seconds before asking me to wait a second.
Pov Séjłimåhy
When I originally saw creed I thought I can brag about getting a foothold into the new expansion but then he went on about me trying to poach an elemental to my guild when he was clearly an undead but apparently we were both right he was the rare mixture. after finding that out Creed and I both stared into each other's eyes for a little before excusing our selves.
"Creed you know what this means right."
"Of course I know what it means. But more importantly, With this, we finally have an excuse to merge our guilds but do we."
"If we merge our guilds we would be able to take the territory separating our guilds very easily meaning we would have the Astroid fields plus all of the current territory. Also, our guilds will be able to be classified as a large small-guild gaining some more benefits from the system."
"Séjłimåhy you know that's great. but our biggest problem is gonna be who gets the leadership of the new guild and how those bigger guilds would react seeing an Elemental guild and an undead guild merging they will suspect that we may have found a way to create elemental undead and that would bring us trouble from the holy guilds."
Creed is testing me it seems he's already fully on board.
"Creed we just have to swear to the system that we haven't found a way then send it to all the larger systems and they would have undeniable proof we don't. With us doing that the large guilds would leave us alone because we don't have anything that is useful for them. So our problem is the medium guilds that feel threatened about a rising guild and small guilds who want our territory. With us merging we can push for getting the small guilds around us to join us for increased resources and a stronger support we can also point out if enough join us we could become a Small Medium-Guild and give all the Small guild leader the position of Elder or District leader more than other guilds which would only pay them off once and leave it be so even more of an incentive."
"Ok, it seems you have been thinking about this as much as I have. Séjłimåhy I think we should split the guild leadership into two pieces territory and management becoming co-leaders of the guild you would be territory and me being management Territory being everything from army to managing the manpower of the resources we have control of and who and were we pick a fight for new resources as you are way more skilled at this than me. While I take care of everything else as you seem not to be able to talk to well and Incontact with Different merchant's to sell our excess resources as your guild has stockpiled a lot of resources. In short, I will handle everything else that you don't handle if we do it like this I believe both our guilds will be perfectly fine with the merge. So what do you say."
"I have no reason to say no this will do us a lot more god than bad even if he denies joining our new guild."
Pov back to bob
They have been talking for 20 mins and that timer has only 10 mins left on it. I wonder what they are talking about.
I have also been busy kinda a bunch of undead and elementals have come over to talk with me while a few other people came over to threaten me but none were like the first they just came by and told me if I'm not dead by the time they get there they would kill me themselves and other threats like that. But also the Undead, elementals and a few other races had various gifts for me so even if I got nothing out of the auction I still am leaving here with quite a bit of things and EP. But the gifts have a reason they want me to set up a place where they can come to the new expansion that's not a random place in the woods and they are safe from being instantly killed when arriving at a holy city. So they want me to create a city where they are safe to come to. Usually, gifts are some type of special resources or 1000 EPN I don't even know everything they are giving me. but Some kind soul gave me a storage Necklace to use. She did say she would like it back when she came to the new expansion.
Noticing Séjłimåhy and the elemental start heading back towards me after there long talk.
"Bob I am just gonna get straight down to business would you like to join our guild. Before you answer, I will tell you It isn't a large guild it is a small guild and we cant provide you with as much help as some larger guilds but we can teach you some skills that are suitable to your race. We could provide you with money and some low-level skill books but nothing more due to the rules."
"Will I be able to leave the guild."
Before Séjłimåhy was about to answer the elemental took a step forward.
"You will be able to leave whenever you want but would be required to pay a penalty in either money resources or various Items as to your importance to the guild. You can still leave even if you don't have enough to pay it will just cause 70% of your EP to be given to us until you have paid it off and 5 years after you paid. Is that acceptable."
After a little thought, I decided to agree after bring up a couple of small points as per to the max amount they can ask from me it came down to they can only ask as much as I would be able to pay off by my self within 3 years and they would get 25% of my EP for 15 years and then 5% for another 5 years. There would of most likely been a lot more talking if the woman at the desk didn't end up yelling out that 1min till the auction starts.
"Well see you again in 1 month if you show up to the next auction. Otherwise, see you in 5 months."
[You have been Invited to the Guild Elemental Death]
[Do you accept the Invention.]
Yes, I accept.
As I accepted the World faded out and I appeared in a Medium sized room Completely filled with thing's either being food or Furniture and even a couple of Beautiful Woman standing in a corner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can You Guess What James (Smith of Healing, Greed) Word effects do(I know they are very straight forward but with my skills of delaying I haven't actually finished James Status Page.)
But here is what the 2 skill bob made the last chapter do
Tar tree seed
[Using this skill we create a seed for the Tar tree.]
Tar Tree
A tar Tree is a tree that has managed to find its self in the middle of a tar pit surrounded by not just tar but half decayed corpses. the seed would attach itself to corpses when young feeding off its nutrients to allow its self to grow. Until it is big enough to leave the corpses and stick its roots into the tar gaining nutrients from the Tar it's self once it devours enough tar it will start to create Tar Ghouls(Not actually undead) to protect its self from enemies and to bring it food not just for its self but also for the Tar in the tar pit.
Nature and necrotic life force Bomb: Sticky
[The elements aren't really important unless you are weak or strong against one of the elements. Lifeforce bombs deal damage by introducing to Repelling life forces into very short proximity causing them to explode out damaging anything in its area with your lvlx50 in damage. This spell will not dissipate unless used or it was a really long time.]
