The fears are bigger than they really are

[Not sure, don't go out-] <I know!!!> Alex started taking firm steps as he left the cave instead of the previous steps that made him look like he had spaghetti legs.

Alex did not take anything to chance so he began to enter into stealth and began to advance through the cave while sticking to one of the walls so he would not be easily found.

While Alex moved silently in the dark towards some goblins, he began to review the fight he had against the goblins, Alex did not take long to realize that most of his attacks did not do much damage since he could only do small scratches on them, which were more than enough for the Rats, but these ugly green madmen, would continue to fight against him, although one of their arms no longer worked or had the total disadvantage.

Alex can only think of them as a crazy creature, who would do anything for food.

At a crossroads of two roads inside the cave, some goblins were eating a rat that they managed to defeat it as a team, but while they celebrated their victory, purple eyes looked at them with contempt and hatred.

Soon those two purple eyes became two purple lines since what was hidden in the shadow had been thrown on one of the goblins and before it could react, the animal buried its powerful claws on the goblin's head and thus killing it in an instant, once out of the darkness the animal turned out to be a baby of a Striped Cat, but this baby already has the claws of an adult and does not have them only to show since with a quick movement it cut the throat of the other goblin which had only seen a purple lines before he died.

The cat turned out to be Alex, the only striped cat on the first floor of the dungeon, although his class is usually one floor below, they are only adults while the young are cared for by their mother on the first floor and then taken to the second floor when they are adults on the level, where each one will have to complete a ritual.

Alex is close to being an adult, but that's for another time because now, Alex is facing his fears about the goblins that almost managed to kill him.

<Were they that weak?> Alex looked at his claws with which he easily eliminated the two goblins.

<I don't think so, maybe it was just because I took them off guard> Alex denied the idea by remembering the feeling of terror and despair he suffered when he was cornered while bleeding.

Alex continued advancing through the dungeon and began to eliminate goblins quite easily, since they never had time to react to Alex's surprise attack from the dark, they could only see two purple lines before they died or simply died without knowing the why.

<Amazing ... I can see the entire structure of cave!!> Alex was amazed to see the paths of the dungeon just by closing his eyes, within the 3D model of the dungeon, Alex had already mapped the entire dungeon, there were also four marks on the map, one for the entrance, another for the next floor, the safe area and the same.

Although Alex had already mapped the entire dungeon on the first floor, there are some areas on the map that indicate that there is a room behind a wall and is only marked with a question symbol.

<... > Alex looked at this, but his attention returned to the dungeon roads where a group of 7 goblins were walking in search of food.

When Alex saw that group, his fur bristled while a sense of terror dominates him when he saw them, they all had small cat wounds and carried wooden stakes instead of clubs.

The feeling of fear began to dominate Alex's body and without him noticing, he was retreating, but he managed to regain control over himself, remembering how weak the previous goblins were.

Alex took big breaths to regain control over himself.

<They are not as dangerous you think... the fear showed makes them think they more than are!> Alex began to motivate himself as he remembered some things he read in his previous life such as fear makes the problems bigger than they really are.

Alex began to move behind the 7 goblins and when he reached a suitable distance, he used to charge on the largest goblin and also one of the two who managed to hurt him.

Alex shot out of his place at an amazing speed to the head of the goblin, where he made a cut at the nape of the goblin with his powerful claws, without time to react, the goblin exploded into particles, Alex quickly threw himself on another goblin and cut his face with all the force he could muster, this caused the goblin to fall back from the impact and when he touched the ground it exploded into particles as well, while all that was happening the other goblin were paralyzed by the surprise and fear that it was a powerful beast that ambushed them, but they could only see two purple lines move through the cave, before the enemy disappeared again.

Alex re-entered stealth easily, although he was still beside the goblins, that is the advantage of using stealth inside a dark cave and that is rank D in stealth.

The goblins looked around for any sign of Alex, but failed to find anything with their poor ability, so the 5 goblins gathered back to back so as not to have a blind spot... but Alex was already inside the circle with their backs exposed to him.

Alex made a cut with the short quarter the ankles of three goblins and without stopping to see the result of his blow, Alex jumped on one of the goblins that were not scratched, Alex jumped on his back since he did not turn around by the crying of his brothers.

Alex stuck his claws on the ribs of the goblin and made deep cuts, which reached the lungs of the goblin, suddenly Alex was hit by one of the goblins, which caused him to fly through the air, but Alex could easily correct his posture and falling to his feet, so he could look at the goblin that hit him, he was the only one not injured.

The goblin had hit Alex with his hand since he had no weapon with him, Alex could only look at him as a nuisance for the pain he is now facing for that powerful blow.

The fear that had been chasing him since he woke up, began to disappear when he saw how weak the goblins really are and that previously, his reckless way of facing the goblins had led him to that result where he almost died for not using his brains in the fight only for small things like disgust or not being accustomed to using full force.

Alex looked at the goblin as he began to build strength in the hind legs, shortly thereafter throwing himself on the goblin like a flash.

The goblin did not have time to react, he could only hit Alex luckily, but from one moment to another Alex was already on his chest biting his throat and thus ending his life.

* Swallow *

Alex did not spit out the piece of meat that he pulled from the goblin, in fact, he wanted to remember the feeling and get used to not falling into the same error, when he no longer has space to make such childish mistakes as not wanting to bite something just because of his smell , now he is an animal, and he only has his claws as teeth to use in combat.

Shortly after several seconds Alex easily eliminated the three remaining goblins who could no longer escape him.

After Alex eliminated them all, he ended up getting 3 Pm, with which he now has 11 Pm and he decides to use 10 to improve his core and save the rest.

When Alex accepted that he wanted to use his mutation points to improve his core, an abysmal pain filled his body, there was no comparison with the previous times he chose other mutations.

Alex clenched his teeth as he suffered from the sensation of having a hell inside his body, but as he suffered that pain, his body began to change.

His magic nucleus began to expel all the impurities inside the nucleus and also began to compress itself, meanwhile his body, did not grow more, although he has risen another level, but now his fur became completely black and he stopped having the purple lines that he had before, implying that he is no longer the same race as before.

While the pain lasted only a few seconds, for Alex it became an eternity, in which his sanity was at stake for the abysmal pain.
