Chapter 5: I got a light in my despair

When I opened my eyes, I saw myself in the same state -let us say- like conditions where I came down from the rope.

I tried to look around. The situation is still the same, bleak and desolate. Items such as a map and a lighter are still in my small bag.

(What Nostradamus said was true even if it was late. That bastard... Forget about that! This time, I'll start being careful!) Muttered warily.

In the same way, but sneakily, I headed to the same door. Slowly but surely, I was already in one of the giant rock crevices I used before.

When I intended to walk towards that door, I heard familiar voices around 200 meters from where I was standing. Quickly, I stopped for a moment. Unexpectedly, the pack of goblins was based there and lit a bonfire near with exit door. Of course, this made me difficult to through it.

(Shit! How am I supposed to get past that?!!) I'm in a panic condition.

After a while of thinking and searching, I had an idea. The idea that came was to attract attention with several stones. This is based on the ability of those who are attracted by certain attentions. On that basis, I scavenged some stones on the ground.

After finding some stones to be used as bait, I implemented the idea. I threw some stones in different directions.

(I hope this made all of them attract!) muttered optimistically.

As expected, they immediately became attracted to that. Unfortunately, in that place, only 3 goblins remained. Even so, their size is different one each other.

For a first goblin, he was a little thin. The second goblin is slightly bigger with a size of around 1.5 meters. However, the second goblin had several weapons. The last goblin had the same size as the first goblin. As for the last goblin, I know him very clearly.

(That goblin who killed me earlier!) angrily.

In the same way, to attract their attention, I threw one stone at the first goblin. Mine threw hit his head. As a result, he was angry and tried to come closer. I realized that the goblin was heading toward my hide based on its footsteps. Immediately, I took a stance to kill it.

(Bastard! I started to thump right now! Take ease, Besper!) While suggesting my mind.

His footsteps could be heard clearly. My legs started shaking violently. However, I tried my best not to panic. With a fast-thumping heart, I'm on standby to catch him.

When he was already beside the rock crevice, I caught him quickly. I grabbed its neck and locked its neck with my deep elbows. He started to rebel against what I did. Even so, I didn't want to lose and die again this time.

With all my strength, I choked his neck with a deep elbow. After seconds of trying to strangle it, it finally stopped moving. Even so, I wanted to take a little longer strangling it. At least, release all the pent-up emotions.

(Die! Die! DIE, you dirty scum-creature!) Muttered angrily.

In the end, it didn't move at all. The sound of the neck bones creaking from it.

*Crack!!!*

After that, I checked its respiratory tract. It turned out that, as expected, it had died. I'm relieved and tired at the same time.

(Shit! I didn't know that killing goblin made me so tired as fuck!) while sighed.

At the same time, I saw some tools that it brought. From what I got, I found a long knife, a falchion knife, and a smoke bomb—pretty exciting stuff for monsters like them.

(Good! With this, I can fight them.) Muttered with optimism tone instantaneous.

When I was ready to fight back those goblins, there was a second goblin. It was already standing before me. With surprise, I stepped backward.

"Back off, you filth hyena!" while threatening with a knife. " I'll kill you if you come closer to me!" With an angry tone.

However, the second goblin didn't heed what I said. Instead, it was getting closer. When it came closer, a devilish-mischievous smile appeared again before me. Not only that, it took out the scimitar he had.

"I said, back off-" when I started to attack him, I felt the same pierced sensation as before-"Eh??!"

The second goblin stabbed me in the chest, right into the epigastrium. Quickly, it drew the sword from my chest.

I felt excruciating pains. My skin and body felt an unbearable hot and nauseous sensation. Not long after that, my skin became blue little by little.

(It's...poisonous?!!) I was shocked.

Realizing this, I immediately ran away with a crawl through.

"I have to-" can't hold anymore in my stomach-"!!"

*Retch!*

Blood... my organs had... internally injured...

In the end, I couldn't crawl again. Because in front of me, goblins were already waiting. They devilish-mischievous smile at me.

Only surrender the option I had. Subconsciously, I peed on my pants. I peed because of feared the agonizing death... same as before...

"No! No! No!-" while threatening with a knife-"Back off, you filth hyenas!" in an agonized tone.

In the end, I screamed with agony and heinous. Before I died, the second goblin started stabbing my head with a scimitar. The same incident happened again.

***

Again, I came back to the same place and time. I don't know how much I died in the same place.

Died by thrust spear...

Died by trapping a trap...

Died because of poisonous and similar stuff...

I had an endless loop of death countless times. My thought became insane. My eyes only had seen sorrow and anguish. It made my eyes have worse puffy eyes. My mental became scattered like a glass. Moreover, I was nauseated every time because of that problem.

"Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!-" while imagining the horror of my death-" Stop it! Stop it! Stop it, already!!" Countless times I said that.

Suddenly, heard a voice calling me,

"What a hopeless person thou'rt!" while he sighed. " But, that's a pretty death! Marvelous!!!" clapping at me.

But I didn't give him my attention. Realizing that he was being ignored, he replied in a sharp tone

"Thou art the person who declared about avenging their family? What a loser thou'rt!''

Hearing that, I replied,

"What... did... you... said?" I questioned him. "You... put me.. in this horrific... endless... death while you only... give me a map and lighter... and didn't say... a single fucking advice about my enemy... while I fight all along... with all strength I have... you said that I'm a loser?"

"Indeed. Thou'rt a fuckwit. Thou'rt nothing more than the greatest failure of thy family!"

Hearing that insult, I replied scream enraged,

"Arghhh!!! I swear... I'll fucking rip out your mouth and kill you with my hands!!!"

"Yes... yes!" replied with a happy tone. "Fascinating! Marvelous enraged! Beautiful grudged! That's what I want to hear!! Prove it... prove if thou arn't the greatest failure of thy family!! Prove if thy grudged art worthy! Prove if thy avenge art has a meaning!"

After I screamed, the pack of goblins appeared before me. I take a stance to fight them. But, he began to speak,

"As a reward!" with a happy tone. "I give three clues!"

"What?! I didn't want to hear your crap again!"

"Ah! Such a real man thou art!" while with a horny tone and suddenly changed to a happy tone. "There clues are... one!"

There was a sound that fell from the surface. It fell behind me. When I tried to look, that was a... balisong knife.

"Other clues are...." With a happy tone.

After he said that, two small bags fell. The second is bomb smoke.

(Bomb smoke???) while I checked that.

Suddenly, I got attacked when I tried to check the last bags. The arrow almost hit my face.

(Shit! you filth hyenas!) I anger for a while.

I checked the last bags and I got a steel rope.

"What the fuck???" I was shocked when saw my items.
