Chapter 18: Reveal your identity at once!

"Is it possible to share the manual with a non-system user?" Justin asked.

(Yes! Just as you were able to share your reward, you can also share the items you buy in the store. Once they're yours, they become the things of the world.)

"Then, is it also possible to take a non-system user into the simulation space?" He further asked.

(.....)

"Is it not?"

(It is but the user's level does not permit that.)

"Then, what level do I have to reach to be able to do that?" He asked, a bit anxious to hear the response.

(Level 2)

Hearing this, he gave out a sigh of relief.

"That's good!" He opened his status window. "Let's see, how many more experience points do I need to level up?"

(You're almost at a breakthrough. All you need is 17 more experience points.)

"Then, will you help me?"

(Go outside!)

Justin didn't really know what that meant but he did that.

The sun had already gone down and the guards were on patrol. He didn't know why the system asked him to go outside but he knew it was for a good reason.

All of a sudden, he heard screaming. A demon hate suddenly appeared in the middle of the streets and wild goblins started trooping out.

Goblins were one of the demons that lost their senses and went berserk. They were minor demons, incapable of causing big harm but they always moved in groups so it was a bit tactful to tackle them.

"Where are the adventurers? Someone, help!" A man cried out.

"Maybe they're taking a nap or something!" Justin muttered to himself and then, the system rang.

(Ding! Special Quest triggered!)

"Now we're talking!"

{SPECIAL QUEST}

[Kill a total of 90 goblins]

[Kill the leader of the goblins!]

{REWARDS: Unknown}

{FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE QUEST: [The goblins run amok and take the lives of innocent people]

(ACCEPT or DECLINE)

"A total of 90 goblins? Why are there so many?" He asked and pressed ACCEPT. "In any case, they'll just be adding to my experience points so I'll make their deaths quick."

(Before you go, may I ask why you want to take someone into the simulation space?)

The system asked and he paused for a while before grinning.

"You'll know soon enough!"

With that, he set about killing the goblins.

He didn't have any weapons so he picked up the nearest tool that could come in handy. It was a pole.

"This could work."

The goblins were weak but many. He used his speed to his advantage and kept killing.

In the middle of his fight with the goblins, their leader walked out of the gate. But just as he was about to attack it, someone attacked it, swinging a large sword at it.

"Who's here to steal my loot?" Justin said to himself as he watched this mysterious person fight the big goblin head on.

He, who was fighting with the goblin's leader, looked strong but for some reason, he was prolonging the fight.

'That's just good for me!'

Justin used a goblin's head as a pedestal and jumped high till he was able to plunge the pole into the goblin's leader's head.

"Thanks for distracting it for me." Justin said over a grin and pulled out the pole, splashing its blood over the mysterious man, who seemed prepared because he used his cape as a shield against the blood splash.

The big goblin leader fell with a thud and the little goblins started fleeing but Justin couldn't let them get away just yet.

He appeared in front of the gate and smirked.

"Time to end this!" He said and with a swift motion, he jabbed several goblins.

At the end of it, he threw the pole aside and breathed out.

"I knew it was a waste to have my stats raised without a proper quest!" He remarked and the system rang.

(Ding! Special Quest completed)

{REWARDS: +400 points, goblin mask, reverse skill and +20 experience points}

Seeing the rewards, Justin couldn't help but tilt his head.

"What's that goblin mask and reverse skill?"

(The goblins mask helps you disguise as a goblin. Your smell and appearance will both appear to be that of a goblin.)

"Ew, why would I want to look or smell like a goblin? That's a weird reward." He shuddered with the thought. "What's the reverse skill? Is it a helpful skill?"

(It reverses your current state to a previous state. For example, now you're covered in goblin blood, you could use the reverse skill to become how you were before the fight. Clean!)

"Hm, that's pretty nice!"

Justin was busy dwelling on this and completely forgot he was not alone.

"Sling!"

The sound of a sharp blade only a few inches away from his neck was enough for him to flinch.

"Who are you?"

Justin looked towards the mysterious man with his corner eye.

"Hey, why are you pointing your sword at me?"

"You're very suspicious?"

"And you aren't?"

The mysterious man took off his hood, revealing his identity as the commander of the first knight order. This, Justin did not know so he said,

"What? Do you think because you revealed your appearance I'll also reveal mine? Get real!" His words were rude and the blade edged closer to his skin.

"You fought the goblins so well and you used nothing but a pole. I do not believe there is anyone in this capital that is capable of such feet that I know not of." He claimed but Justin frowned.

"Well, you've met one today. And can you take your sword away? You're treating me like a criminal." He said but the commander wouldn't budge.

"You were talking to yourself in a creepy way, I cannot allow you to roam the streets. You might be a threat!"

'Says the guy with a huge sword!' he thought. 'Let's just get out of here.'

"Reveal your identity at once!" The commander ordered.

"Alright!" Justin sighed but then looked up in alert. "Oh no, another gate opened behind you." He pointed and the commander fell for it.

There was no such gate but before he could turn back to Justin, he was already gone without a single trace.

'How did he… ?'

"Commander!" A guard ran up to him but seeing so many dead goblins lying on the ground, he shrieked. "Commander, what happened here? Did a gate open up here?"

"Yes!"

"Wow, commander. You were able to kill so many goblins all by yourself. You're incredible!"

"It wasn't me!" The commander simply said and looked back at Justin's empty position. 'He was so fast that I didn't know which direction he took. Who is he?'
