It took Marcus a few hours to really get us to his new body. With the boost in strength. While Marcus was still adjusting to his new body be looked at the remains of the bear.

The hide, horn, and bones were all that was left. Now that Marcus's body was double its size he needed new armor and weapons.

Marcus used the horn to craft a new spear and the hide to craft a full set of armor.

{ User craft Rock horn spear, uncommon grade, User crafted stone leather chest piece, uncommon grade, User crafted stone leather leggings, uncommon grade, User crafted stone leather boots, uncommon grade, User crafted stone leather gloves, uncommon grade, User crafted bear leather headband, common grade, Armorsmithing leveled up to level 5, Weaponsmithing leveled up to level 5}

Now Marcus felt like a true warrior. Once again Marcus began to travel through the forest. For the most part, Marcus didn't find anything of interest a few rabbits and fox here and there but he made quick work of them gaining two levels.

Marcus began to notice that it was beginning to get dark so he backtracked to the bear cave. He decided he would use this as a temporary home. Marcus used his fire magic to make a small fireball that hovered over the palm of his hand. As he got deeper he began to see bones and rotting hide over the floor. The cave wasn't too deep but was still enough for Marcus to spend the night in.

Marcus used his fire magic to incinerate bone and hide in a small circle making a clearing for him to sleep. As soon as Marcus laid on the ground he passed out.

The next morning Marcus felt better than ever. Marcus decided he would head back to the goblin cavern.

Marcus began to make the trip back. Marcus wanted to head back mainly just to see if his brothers and sister have changed within the last day.

As Marcus traveled through the forest he noticed that with his new body he could easily travel through the forest. Within an hour Marcus was nearing the Goblin cave.

Marcus was almost there when he came upon a small group of goblins. There was five of them the highest level is 6 and the lowest 3.

As soon as the goblins saw Marcus they all went on guard. They all had loincloth on and we're gripping stone spears.

Marcus just stopped and stared at them the lower leveled ones were acting very skittish. Marcus being twice their size frightened them. But the level 6 goblin realized that it was 5 to 1 so he thought that they could easily kill Marcus.

Marcus on the other hand notice that they were younger looking goblins so they must be his brothers. He didn't want to fight them just talk. But before he could try to say anything the level 6 goblin said: " we outnumber it, kill".

The other goblins realized what the other goblin said even tho it was pronounced very brutishly.

Marcus of course herd this as well and before any of the goblins could start attacking Marcus activated {Charge}. Marcus aimed for the level 6 goblin. Marcus collided with the goblin head on, his middle horn pierced right into the middle of the goblin's chest driving it into the ground With the added damage from Marcus's strength points he killed the goblin without breaking any sweat.

Marcus dislodged his horn from the chest of the goblin. He got a good look at what was left of the goblin that could be accurately called a pancake goblin now.

Marcus looked at the other goblins and before he could activate charge again the goblins all dropped their weapon and dropped to their knees with their arms straight out in front of them. Almost like they were worshiping Marcus.

" We follow"

Marcus was dumbfounded. He couldn't decide what to do. He didn't know if he wanted a following of these ugly little bastards even if they were his brothers. In the end, Marcus decided that the numbers could help out if he came against a threat he couldn't handle by himself.

Marcus said one simple word that the other goblins treated it like it came right from a God. "Follow".

The goblins immediately jump to their feet and got behind Marcus. Marcus continued towards the goblin cave. He now had a plan and thinking of it brought a huge grin to his face.
