The corridor was filled with vile brain matter and green blood, Five Goblin corpses were strewn around all of them looking far scarier that when they were alive.
Lev couldn't help but vomit at the scene, firstly it was his first time actually killing a living being, secondly the rancid smell of the Goblin's insides were unbeareble.
The fight, or rather the slaughter lasted less than a minute, the Goblins downstairs had no clue about what happened here and freely carried out the corpses of their dead comrades and the wolf.
After Lev calmed himself down and collected his thoughts, he finally decided to put his focus on the glowing text box that appeared in his vision after the first goblin had died.
[Unread Message: 2]
It kept blinking and almost caused Lev to slip up during the fight.
He tried to press it with his fingers but they passed through without any contact, only leaving a rippling effect on the small blinking text box.
'Message..., Show Inbox, Open.'
Finally the message opened and showed it's contents to Lev.
[Congratulations! You have achieved your first kill in the world of the Forgotten]
[Due to your first kill being a Goblin you have been awarded 10SP use it wisely]
That was the content of the first message, but the second one contained something more interesting.
[Welcome Lev Berthaim! To The Forgotten Realm, a place where all forgotten beings are thrown in, you can think of it as the trash bucket of the universe. You have TWO options!
Either stay couped up in your *safe space*(nowhere is safe. just saying so you know:))
OR
Fight and Grow to return back to your world!(Before this realm gets fully removed ;))]
"what the actual FU**!?"
-was Lev's first thought, and same would be for any other sane person.
"Forgotten? Removed? WHY? HOW? CAN I LIKE, NOT?"
[If you wish to return to your world, you can fight to become stron-]
"AAAAAAH! what? what was that!?"
[It was I, The Mighty Removal System, and next time let me finish speaking]
"This thing can talk!?"
[Fool, of course I can talk, but can *you* not scream at everything that happens like a country bumpkin!]
A low rumbling robotic voice was heard in Levs mind, the Removal System spoke to Lev with a hint of arrogance, similar to what a royal would have towards one with lower class.
[So aren't you going to use your SP?] The system asked with a bit of haste
"SP? whats SP, and how can I use them?" Lev asked the system before committing to its whims.
[SP as in Special Points, can be used to upgrade your stats like strength, dexterity and so on, or gain new skills. I would recommend acquiring a new skill with your current SP,]
"Okay, then how much SP do I have in total?" asked Lev
[SP:15]
"... and what are my stats?"
[Str:8 Dex:6 Int:7 Wis:13]
"and what skills can I get with my points?" he asked the system and instantly his vision was covered by a complex list of numerous skills. these skills included only those he could afford with his measly 15SP, but even then, the list was almost endless.
Sadly most of the skills were completely useless, like [Jump Rope Mastery Lvl1] and so on.
[From your fighting style, I would recommend assassin type skills or possibly Thief skills, you can get few of them with your po-]
"No, I don't want any of those," The *Mighty* System was cut off by Lev, then he scrolled around the list presumably aimlessly, until he came at 2 skills: [Layman Rush Lvl1, Psychokinesis Lvl1]
"These, what do these do?"
[I'm telling you, those will be useless for you-]
"You don't know what I want. I asked what these skills do." The system was cut off again and by now both sides were getting heated.
[Layman Rush at Lvl1 will give you 10 additional points in Strength for 3 minutes but have the side effect of overusing your muscles, thus cousing you tremendous pain after the time is up,]
[Psychokinesis will let you move stuff around with your mind, but at lvl1 it can only move stuff as big as a hairclip]
The System gave Lev the description of the odd skills he had chosen.
"*as big as a hairclip*... soo can I move anything smaller than that? like cells for example?"
[well, I guess if you try hard enough and focus your mind on it, then yes.]
"Great! I'm buying these skills"
[Whait, no!-]
"aaaaand, bought" Lev bought the skills.
[Holy SHII-]
