After the fight with the wolf (if that passes for a fight) Ai was sent to the another smaller room and was healed of his injuries. after the treatment he was taken back into the his cell.
The events was too fast for him to follow at one point he was creating his character the next he was fighting a wolf. He could not fully understand what was happening now. He was afraid that if he blinks he might miss something or thrown in a roller coaster ride that he had no control of whatsoever. He calmed himself down and decided to find out what's what. He then checks his messages.
You have 45 stat points free.
He used a ratio of 1 str, 2 vit and 2 agi. basically he added 9 str, 18 vit and 18 agi. He will have medium health and agility type. meaning damage might be low and armor equipped is limited but the attack speed and move speed is high, critical chance is high too.

On his inventory are rye breads and an empty canteen of water.
This was Ai's stats, it was good enough providing all the things that happened recently. newly created avatars are not supposed to be allowed outside the starting city/villages that is the rule of royal road and yet Ai was smacked right in the middle of a forest with no players and no villages in sight. it would be easier to just create a new avatar and maybe in this time not to provoke a confrontation with a major Goddess of royal road but Ai was different, he was vengeful to a fault. He made up his mind to continue with this character and get back to those who have wrong him. all is the same petty or significant infringes he will return it seven fold and this game is no different. in fact he had already made a list of those who will receive his vengeance.
* 1. list of those to destroy
* Avatar creation Ai.
* Freya. (one way or another)
* the unknown God that gave him the fool title (needed to know who 1st)
* the tree who slapped him
* the cow who made him cower
* vacant for new inductees
"I seem to not know what my avatar looks. if I could only get a mirror or even just a puddle of water maybe I can see. I have a bad feeling because I had no idea what Freya did to my avatar."
Ai could only guess as he steeled himself for a way to get out of this cave or whatever this is I am inside of.
He looked around his cell and he found only those that have little to no significant value. In his cell he saw a bucket. ( we all know what it is for so we don’t want to dwell on it). A bed good for one person made of hay, makes you itch and pokes from time to time but soft enough to sleep in. And another a bowl that looks like container for water. He took out his canteen and filled it with the water in the bowl.
“Hey Keenan are you awake?”
“ Yes, I am.” Kennan responded. “Thank the lucky stars young’un you survived your first day at the arena.”
“You knew Keenan?”
“Yes, newly captured prisoners goes there to fight for their lives for the enjoyment of their chief Binas. Including me, when they captured me 5 years ago I was forced to fight other prisoners as well as monsters that they have captured. Times passed and they grew tired of my fights and threw me in here to rot. Other were not so lucky. Most did not survive.
“Have you tried escaping?” Ai asked.
“I am not fit enough to escape. My victories on the arena were achieved with great sacrifices. If it is you maybe you can escape but for the rest of us it will never happen.”
Ai wanted to look at Keenan, if only he could. It was too dark to see in this place often. There was no light in this area. From time to time guards checking up on the prisoners would bring torches but during those time all did not want to reveal themselves and cowered away from the light. Ai could only imagine how Keenan looked with a voice devoid of fight in them, it hollow and empty. Perhaps the years in this place were not kind to Keenan.
Ai busied himself to training for he knew that time will come where he has to fight again and he made sure that when that time comes he would be ready. As ready as he could be if not more. He punched the stone wall and since he had already the Improper Un-armed combat mastery his punches no longer damaged his hand. Thought it was still painful it was now tolerable. He punched and kicked until he was worn out, The white shirt and pants issued to him in the beginning had absorbed sweat and stuck fast to his body. He still dealt one blow after another to the wall without a minute’s break. When he was hungry he ate the rye bread and drunk from his canteen.
Strength increased by 1 point. (+1 STR)
After six hours of striking the wall , Ai heard good news. He felt as if the muscles in his arms are getting stronger .“Stats window,”

Five hours later.
Vitality rises by 1.
Agility rises by 1.
While reading his notification he heard the guards coming in so he stopped his training and sat on the bed. It puzzled Ai why the guards did not harass him when he was making noises during his training. His neighbors would sometimes growl but always almost inaudible. But that was just it, perhaps they lost their will to fight.
The goblin guards came on Ai cell first. This made Ai cautious perhaps they are angry at Ai and would now violently force him to keep quiet. To Ai surprised the goblin guard did no such thing. In fact what happened was the goblin guard was motioning Ai to give it the bowl for water. It poured water on the bowl and returned it to Ai. Furthermore it threw fruits at Ai. He was still puzzled but he hesitantly accepted what the guard had given him. Another strange thing, but he just assumed it was a price for winning his earlier match.
His training and ration went on for 84 hour now. The guard would still bring water and fruit. Ai tried to ask the guard but it seems goblin guards cannot understand human languages. So he just kept on training.
Strength rises by 1.
Agility rises by 1.
New stat endurance.
Sustenance/Endurance: You are likely to use less stamina in action. You are prohibited from distributing stat bonus points to this stat.
Seeing the result he rested for now because he was sure that he will be fighting soon. After 10 hours of rest Ai woke up to the clanging of his cell's bars. He glanced at the direction of the noise and he saw the guards motioning him to get out. Now it was time for another fight at the arena.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Moments later he found himself on the same arena and just like the last he was here he had no weapons on him. On the other side of the arena he saw a creature slowly making its way out of the door. The audience let out a cry of frenzy, it was gibberish to his ears. A left hand moved out of the shadow it was huge and muscular and had grey fur. Then face then came out. It was a gorilla’s face scarred and terrifying. It had a mean demeanor, it had a lot of scar on his face and particularly on its left eye. It seems that the eye was blind as Ai could not see the iris or the cornea of the gorilla’s eye.
It let out a terrifying roar that silenced the crowd. Because of his fighting spirit stat Ai was not affected by the roar. As the gorilla walked a few distance for the door whence it came the door slammed shut. On the bar near the head of the gorilla it can be read as Akagi Gori. Another named mob. It is puzzling where and how these goblins get their monsters from. The chink of falling meals hitting each other can be heard. On closer inspection there were a group of goblins throwing weapons on the spot a few meters away the gorilla. The weapon throw was not meant to hurt the gorilla but it was for Ai.
The gorilla charged towards Ai and he was ready for it. He dodged as the gorilla was 1 meter away from him. The gorilla hit arena wall and lost some health. It was unfazed though and shrugged the damage off. Ai wanted to rush to where the weapon was but seeing the gorilla unfazed he changed his mind. He slowly and carefully moved towards the pile of weapon not losing sight of the gorilla. The gorilla charged again. When it was a meter away from Ai, Ai stated to dodge to the right but stopped midway. The gorilla had learned that Ai would dodge, as expected of a battle hardened monsters in learned quickly. Akagi Gori swiped its hands towards Ai. In mid dodge Ai dropped on the ground and rolled quickly to the towards Akagi Gori’s left side, its blind spot. Making use of blind spot Ai got away from Akagi Gori and farther away from the weapons pile.. Still he is in dangerous situation as Akagi Gori has still the upper hand. Akagi Gori was now advancing moderately to a walk and did not charge again. Ai made sure to have sufficient distance between him and Akagi Gori. Akagi Gori suddenly hopped stepped really quickly towards Ai and swung its arms intending to claw at Ai. Akagi Gori’s behavior had surprised Ai and was a little too late at dodging.
you were hit and received dam…
“Hide damage alert messages.” Ai whispered while grunting in pain.
For Ai it was better this way. The messages only adds additional pressure to him and takes too much of his and away from the opponent.
The blow though did a moderate amount of damage has provided a powerful knockback even though it was only a scratch. Ai was rolling in the ground and hit the wall of the arena and yelped in pain from his impact with the wall. He was sure that he also acquired damage from the impact because of the pain. Feeling something dangerous moving in he got up quickly and ran away to the other side of the arena.
Suddenly crash!!!!!! On the place where Ai was dust flying around Akagi Gori. It seemed that it jumped while Ai was on lying on the ground intending to crush him with its weight. The crash must have hurt Akagi Gori a little bit as it was slow from standing up. Noticing this Ai took the opportunity and ran towards the pile of weapon. He hungrily picked up everything he could.
“Sword equip” Ai shouted.
You do not have the requirements to equip the unidentified sword.
“Damn it!!!!” Ai cursed.
“Equip War Hammer ” Ai shouted
You do not have the requirements to equip the unidentified hammer.
“Not again!!”
Seeing Akagi Gori on its feet Ai threw away most of the weapon he has not yet tried to equip.
tomfoolery mastery Increased slightly .
sane people would hold on the weapons but you instead threw them away. LOL check your head maybe you are not sane just a friendly advice from the flavor text
tomfoolery effect active increased critical strike chance.
Ai held on to a javelin with each hand. He did not attempt to equip them because he knew that he cannot. As Akagi Gori charged towards him, he immediately pointed and extended the javelin on his right hand towards Akagi Gori’s face while the javelin on the left hand was made ready to be thrown. Seeing the javelin pointed at its face, Akagi Gori slowed down with caution. Whenever Akagi Gori took a step forward Ai would extended the javelin at Akagi Gori’s face though not close enough to hit and Akagi Gori would try to slap the javelin away but fail. He would side step at the same time to avoid being cornered. This happened a couple of times until Akagi Gori successfully slapped the extended javelin away. Seeing an opportunity Ai and at Akagi Gori ‘s remaining eye and threw the other javelin. With no throwing mastery Ai missed the eye and only barely hit the ear. This made Akagi Gori enraged. It raised its left hand and brought it down with an overhead smash. Luckily Ai rolled away to the left before the overhead smash struck and it only hit the floor of the arena. He rolled towards a Warhammer and picked it up while simultaneously standing up. He returned his gaze to Akagi Gori. To his surprise Akagi Gori was now half a meter away from him and its hands is now performing an overhead smash. With no other choice Ai used the hammer as a shield to block the overhead smash.
Boom!!!!!
The attack exploded as Ai was sent backwards flying. He felt as if he was hit by a very fast moving car. He felt that his was broken because of the pain he felt. Thankfully his hands was not broken as the hammer took most of the force of the attack. The hammer crumbled at his hands though. It seemed Akagi Gori felt pain because it did not immediately attack. Ai again grabbed a short sword near him and to this surprise…
Ding
because of your action you have acquired forced equip
forced equip: you are able equip every weapon or anything into a weapon but with penalties. For equipping weapons for every weapon level difference between the weapon and you 10% is deducted from its performance. Equipping non weapons into a weapon has severe durability penalties. You will not acquire weapon proficiency if you have this skill .
Ai was surprised but it was not a time to ponder this skill he was still overpowered by Akagi Gori.
Akagi Gori moved and cornered Ai, it raised its hand and smash. It still failed to hit Ai. Ai knowing Akagi Gori’s pattern waited for the overhand smash and the moment he saw the hand at the highest position he immediately dodged to the left and of Akagi Gori and counted in the midsection. Ai felt that it wasn’t enough. He decided to unleash all of his skills except sleep fighting. He wanted to hit Akagi Gori in the eye but its reach was too far compared to Ai’s. He tried to bite Akagi Gori in the back but the fur was too thick to cause bleeding. This all means that he had only one chance and it was his most powerful skill. A kick to the nether region. But he needs to set it all up first.
Akagi Gori is half a meter away from Ai was beginning to attack and was raising its right hand for another overhead smash. Ai again seeing the pattern poised himself to dodge but the overhead smash did not came instead it was a left handed swing. Seeing this Ai was smiled. He ducked the swing by kneeling very low and he felt the swing passed his head because he felt the force of the swing. He immediately bounced back up and used foul blow.
THUD!!!!
With a loud thud his feet connect to Akagi Gori’s nether region. The male goblins covered there nether region by reflex and was stunned. Ai was going to hit the eye with the short sword but to his surprise Akagi Gori was unaffected.
"Kyaaa, Pervert" Akagi Gori shouted in a girly monster with a low growl voice while blushing and covering its nether regions with her hands.
“Wait what???? How did this happe…” Ai was shocked. :?:
(Yes Akagi Gori is a girl LOL)
Akagi Gori hit Ai with a backhanded slap and he was pushed and rolled to the floor of the arena and stopped near a spear. Ai is out of ideas. He was panting and his movement was now sluggish, it seems he is running low on stamina and his health is almost depleted as well. He did not know what to do now. He just grabbed a spear close to him and used the wall to help him stand.
Roar!!!!
Seeing this Akagi Gori was sure of victory. It charge straight at Ai. Ai on the other hand was desperate and is bull headedly denying himself death and defeat was still trying to fight. With less than enough to hold a spear he tried to anchor the spear in the wall.
Boom!!! The charging Akagi Gori hit the wall of the arena where Ai is. When the dust settled AI was not there anymore but Akagi Gori was still there with a spear struck to its neck and bleeding. A fatal blow. Akagi Gori was struggling but was beginning to lose its life.
Ai was on the other hand lying flat on the and holding his head.
What really happened was a micro second right before the charge struck him Ai abandoned the spear as it was too heavy for him and jumped to the left to get the dagger nearest to him.
Seeing the lucky turn of events he was panting and could only stagger towards the dying Akagi Gori. With his dagger Ai struck Akagi Gori in the heart thru the diaphragm and ended is life.
you struck a fatal blow
After the confirmation Ai flopped on the arena floor. He was exhausted and in pain but he was happy. He heard running footsteps towards him but he didn’t care. He won.
you have leveled up
you have leveled up

Ai leveled up 10 times.
