With the demise of the Goblin Duke, Oz found himself able to ease the tension that had coiled tightly within him. Seizing the opportunity to rest, he took a moment to ponder and experiment with the capabilities of the fully equipped and half equipped systems.

As he assumed the formidable form of the Goblin Duke, a surge of unparalleled power coursed through his veins, amplifying his stats to levels far beyond his previous limitations. The transformation bestowed upon him a formidable advantage, one that he couldn't ignore.

After thorough testing and assessment of the transformation's potency, Oz decided to explore the capabilities of the half equipped system. Reverting to his familiar human form, he discovered that the half equipped state granted him only a fraction of the Goblin Duke's power, approximately 25% to be precise. Moreover, he realized that he couldn't access the Duke's skills while in this state.

Armed with this newfound knowledge, Oz deliberated on the optimal course of action. Should he fully embrace the formidable might of the Goblin Duke's form, or selectively absorb only a portion of its power? After careful consideration, he resolved to fully transform into the Goblin Duke, recognizing the necessity of bolstering his survival chances in this perilous magical forest.

As he about to left using the goblin duke form, he saw something strange at the goblin duke's corpse. There is something floating above the corpse.

A floating status board

[Goblin [duke] corpse {lootable}]

!!!??

The word lootable meant that he could get some loots from the corpse, so he touched the Goblin duke's corpse and suddenly.

The corpse changed into blue particles and only 3 falling cards remain.

[Card of Strengthen [special]

Description: A card containing the skill of strengthening, increases the host's strength for 4 folds for 2 minutes.

Equip

Yes/no]

[Card of leap [special]

Description: A card containing the skill of leap, leap to your enemy with 10 folds of your agility.

Equip

Yes/no]

The card of strengthening and leap has the usual deep blue color and golden design, but the goblin corpse card is jet black with golden designs.

(Finally, I possess an item card huh)

As Oz embarked once more on his adventure, his heart yearned for the comforting embrace of civilization, a beacon of familiarity in this untamed wilderness. Transforming into the formidable form of a Goblin Duke, he strode with confidence, his enhanced abilities a reassuring bulwark against the unknown dangers that lurked within the forest's depths.

Amidst the verdant tapestry of trees, Oz's keen eyes spied an array of unfamiliar fruits, each bearing a mystical aura that hinted at their magical properties. With each new discovery, his curiosity was piqued, envisioning the potential fortune these exotic treasures might bring once he reached a bustling town. The vibrant hues of mana enveloping the fruits revealed their elemental attributes, from fiery reds to serene blues, each a testament to the arcane energies coursing within.

Gathering the fruits that pulsed with potent mana, Oz continued his southward journey, guided by an inexplicable instinct that whispered of destiny's call. Along the way, he encountered a formidable foe in the form of an Ectra Python, a colossal serpent whose venomous fangs and constricting coils posed a deadly threat.

Despite its imposing size, Oz recognized the creature's classification as a mere [viscount] class magic beast, a valuable lesson gleaned from his time in the forest. With swift and decisive action, he vanquished the serpent, earning both the transformation card for his collection and the spoils of his victory.

Among the loot retrieved from the fallen python were the coveted corpse card and a humble white skill card, each a testament to his prowess in battle. In the realm of special cards, Oz understood the significance of their colors and qualities, from the elegant artistry of the blue cards to the unassuming simplicity of the white.

The loot that Oz got from the python is only the corpse card and a white skill card.

So there are 4 types of Special cards, Blue (S), Red (A), White(B), and Brown (C). And each type has different qualities too, the blue card is more elegant and artistic, and the white card is a little plain.

[Evil Gaze [Special B-] [could be upgraded]

Description: A card containing the skill of evil gaze, Stuns your enemy with a terrifying gaze for a moment or kills your enemies who have a low mental defense with deathly fear.

equip

yes/no ]

(Looks like a white card meant that it could be upgraded until it maxed out.)

After testing the power of the Ectra python, Oz tried to half equip at while in the goblin duke form, and it turns out that it is impossible, but when Oz half equipped the goblin duke form, he could half equip all other transforming cards too and it gave him a great boost to his human form strength.

(it means that if I collect all other species cards, I would be invincible!)

While checking the power of his human body while half equipping all other cards, his perception sensed something dangerous coming to his way. The dangerous thing getting near Oz at a terrifying speed, in a split second some creature suddenly dashes to Oz's.

*Sound of explosions*

The impact is far bigger than the goblin duke.

Oz crashed to a tree because of the impact.

"Ugh.." Oz Groaned.

As the clouds of dust fade, the ferocious creature reveals its magnifying figure.

*Roar!!*

It's a huge Lion!

A jet black lion with a jet black and majestic mane!

"Appraisal!" Oz shouted

The ominous roar of the Darkness Lion echoed through the forest, sending a shiver down the spine of every creature in its wake. Birds took flight, insects scurried for cover, and small animals dashed to safety, all fleeing from the impending disaster.

In the midst of the chaos, Oz rose to his feet, his heart pounding with adrenaline-fueled determination.

"Goblin Duke Card Transformation!" he bellowed, his voice filled with resolve as he assumed the form of the mighty Goblin Duke.

With his newfound strength and heightened vitality, Oz braced himself for the onslaught, confident that his increased HP would shield him from harm. But as the Darkness Lion bore down upon him once more, reality proved harsher than his expectations.

The ferocious beast struck with lightning speed, slamming Oz into a nearby tree with bone-crushing force. Despite his Qi and the formidable stats of the Goblin Duke, he was unable to withstand the devastating impact.

"Damn it!" he cursed, tasting the bitterness of blood on his lips as he struggled to regain his bearings.

(It seems this world is more complex than I anticipated. My Qi, combined with the Goblin Duke's abilities, should have been enough!)

(The Darkness Lion possesses powers beyond mere strength!)

Though his mind raced with analysis and strategy, Oz knew when to acknowledge defeat. Two strikes from the Darkness Lion had left him with deep, searing wounds, a grim testament to the beast's formidable might. Continuing the battle would only lead to certain death.

With a heavy heart, Oz made the difficult decision to flee from the terrifying predator. Gathering his resolve, he sprinted through the forest, utilizing both his enhanced speed and Qi to outpace his pursuer. Yet even as he ran, the Darkness Lion unleashed a barrage of wind bullets, each one threatening to send Oz tumbling to the forest floor.

Miraculously, he persevered, pushing through the pain and exhaustion with single-minded determination. After what felt like an eternity of flight, he sensed the beast's pursuit waning, the relentless chase finally coming to an end.

Collapsed upon the forest floor, Oz assessed his injuries with a heavy heart. His torn clothes were stained with blood, his body battered and bruised from the relentless assault. With consciousness slipping away, he clung to the hope that the Goblin Duke's regenerative abilities would be enough to save him.

As darkness closed in around him, Oz surrendered to unconsciousness, his fate uncertain amidst the dangers of the magical forest.

at dusk, a shadow is walking around the forest, he brings a sword and a bow it seems he came here to hunt. The huge human-like figure is very similar to humans if you see him by his appearance, the only difference is his dark green skin that states that he is not a human.

!?

He saw a figure lying in the ground soaked with blood.

it's his brethren!

(A goblin? A duke! What is a distinguished figure doing at this corner of the forest? as I remember the only goblin duke in this forest is me!)

(But, this goblin seems to be hurt, it's obvious, the deeper side of the forest is way too dangerous for our species, let's save him for now maybe he'll benefit our tribe)

The goblin picked Oz up and brought him back to his village.
