The night descended with an eerie silence settling over the forest. As Alex sought a place to rest, the looming darkness cast an ominous backdrop. In the midst of this stillness, a pair of yellow eyes caught his attention from the nearby bushes. Assuming it was a lone goblin, he cautiously approached, intending to eliminate the creature and gain valuable experience points. However, to his horror, the single pair of eyes multiplied—doubling, then tripling, until the entire span from left to right was illuminated by a sea of yellow eyes. It dawned on Alex that goblins, in their cunning and vicious nature, hunted in hordes. The once seemingly solitary creature was now an ominous sign of the relentless pursuit about to unfold. Desperation took hold as Alex navigated the shadows, attempting to evade the grotesque figures that lurked behind him.
As Alex continued his desperate escape through the dense forest, his stamina waned with each passing moment. The weight of true despair settled upon him as he sprinted tirelessly, seeking refuge from the relentless pursuit of the goblin horde. In the midst of his exhaustion, a silhouette emerged ahead, casting an eerie shadow against the moonlit backdrop.
At first, Alex hesitated, uncertain whether the figure in the distance was friend or foe. A fleeting thought crossed his mind that facing a single monster might be preferable to the relentless onslaught of the goblin horde. However, as he drew closer, he discerned the distinct outline of a human wielding a sword and shield. The weapons, unmistakably, marked this individual as a warrior-class human.
In the desperate escape's tumultuous narrative, a mysterious warrior materialized from the shadows like a beacon of hope in the encroaching darkness. The sudden appearance of this ally provided a momentary respite for Alex, who felt a surge of relief at the prospect of aid in this dire situation.
Driven by a mix of gratitude and a selfish desire for survival, Alex sprinted toward the warrior. Even though a sense of guilt lingered within him, the young warrior, approximately twenty years old, emanated a kind-hearted aura. Shouting assurances to Alex, the warrior committed to helping, rushing toward the approaching goblin horde.
As warriors are typically close-range fighters, the warrior engaged the goblins directly, deftly wielding sword and shield. From a safer distance, Alex utilized his magical abilities, casting fireballs to support the warrior in his valiant struggle. Despite his magical prowess and the two level-ups he gained during the chaotic encounter, Alex found himself fatigued and unable to sustain his support for an extended period.

Nevertheless, the warrior exhibited impressive combat skills and a commendable physique, offering a glimmer of hope to Alex amidst the darkness. However, this respite proved tragically short-lived, as the valiant warrior found himself outnumbered and overwhelmed by the relentless goblin horde.
In the wild chaos of the battle, the brave warrior swung his sword and shield with all his might against the goblin horde. Each swing was a desperate fight for survival, and every clash echoed with the gruesome sounds of combat. The air smelled of blood, and the ground beneath was stained with the horror of the fray.
Despite Alex's magical support, the warrior started showing signs of exhaustion. His moves, once quick and nimble, became sluggish and desperate. The goblins closed in, their hungry eyes fixated on their prey. The night held its breath, and fear gripped the hearts of those entangled in the struggle.
Alex, drained and filled with fear, cast fireballs in a desperate attempt to help. The flames flickered, revealing the grim reality of the scene. The warrior, driven by courage, fought against overwhelming odds. Each parry, each strike, became a testament to his unwavering spirit.
As the battle reached its devastating end, fatigue overwhelmed the warrior. His defenses crumbled, and the goblins closed in for the final onslaught. In the chaos, Alex felt a deepening sense of guilt and fear, wondering if his presence had led the warrior to this grim fate.
In a last, desperate stand, the warrior fought fiercely, but the relentless goblin horde took its toll. The night air filled with gruesome sounds—clashing weapons, pained cries, and the guttural roars of goblins. The once hopeful flicker of aid transformed into a heart-wrenching scene of a lone warrior's demise.
The warrior succumbed to the overwhelming force, torn apart by the merciless goblins. The night concluded in a grim silence, the echoes of the brutal battle fading into the shadows. Alex stood alone amidst the aftermath, the ground stained with the sacrifice that had unfolded.
Despair settled over him like a heavy cloak. The encounter had shattered any illusions of safety, thrusting him into the harsh reality of his new existence. The battlefield, now a canvas of sorrow and horror, served as a brutal reminder of the grim choices one must make to survive in this unforgiving world.
