Sitting against the door in the pitch black room gave me a moment to calm down and process everything that just happened. The notifications that came up about me leveling and gaining a new skill was the priority for now. I needed to go over everything in detail so I knew what my new class “ Legion “ was capable of.
I went to the skills tab and there it was, my first active skill “ Soul Summon “ . The skill had a sub skill called “Soul Extract” which was also an active skill.

I was smiling from ear to ear, I gained a very strong skill. If I add the special function of the ring I got from agoda, that makes me a one many army indeed. For every minion I summon , three will be called forth instead.
I went ahead and opened the class Tab again and opened my new Class description to see what “ Legion” entailed and also to spend my new stat points.
“ Legion “ is a never before seen class. By the grace of the divine, the Warrior and Summoner classes have evolved into a singular class. The class possess the Durability and damage output of a Warrior and the summoning ability of the summoner. You are a titan among other classes.
Next I decided to go into my Character Screen in order to spend my points. Usually in the game you gained 5 stat points per level. Due to me being the evolutionary result of two classes I apparently gain 10 points instead.
Going over my stats I knew what I needed to focus on right now. My stamina was shit and needed a helping hand. My strength was decent for level 6 so I decided not to invest points in that. Fortitude was also decent for my level but more health was never a bad thing. Adding also to agility would be a good idea as that would improve my overall speed and reaction time. Allocating some points into intellect and wisdom would be smart as well.
In the end I added 15 points in Stamina, 15 points to agility , 10 points in Fortitude , 10 points in intellect and wisdom. My current status window was looking pretty decent now.

Satisfied by my awesomeness I now needed to formulate a plan on getting out of here and going to my parents to see how they were doing with all of this. I needed to get myself a weapon first and extract a soul to gain a minion. Wait a minute, the soul of the goblin I killed earlier should still be there I thought to myself . 30 Minutes could not have passed so I should still be able to get to him in time.
I opened the door behind me very quietly. I did not hear anything so that means the store should still be safe for now as no monster barged in here yet. I was crouching and heading slowly towards the store entrance in order to get to that goblin body. I needed a weapon first so I went through the home and garden isle and started looking for something that could be considered dangerous. I found a stand with small hatchets and decided to grab a few of those .
I used analyze on the hatchet.
"Small Hatchet"
Common Rank
5-7 Damage
Durability 10/10
I wielded one of them in my hand and put 2 more behind my back. I also saw a few shovels which I could put to good use later .
I moved ahead towards the front door and I quickly reached to the front counter right near the door. I raised my head just a tiny bit in order to see out through the window . It was pandemonium , body parts of monsters and humans were littering the ground, screams and roars were coming from everywhere. The front area seemed clear but I could not see the body of the goblin I killed. There was only a small knife at the spot where It died.
The time limit was gone by now probably and that must have been the loot drop from the slain monstrosity. I decided to grab that knife as it was very close to the door and there were no monsters I could see close by, as they were still busy killing and eating everything around.
I stood up hiding behind the door and slowly opened the door. The knife was 10 feet away at most. I quickly went toward the knife and picked it up , I wanted to get back inside the store before I analyzed the knife. As I was heading inside the door I heard a roar coming from somewhere near. It was so close but I could not see anything near me. I ran inside the store and put the chair back against the door handle.
I thought I was safe when all of a sudden I heard a thud and a second later the door shook. Something was crashing against the door trying to break it open. I took a peak out of the window to see what was going on and what I saw is a goblin banging against the door . The goblin was yelling something unintelligent in a weird language and then another goblin suddenly fell from the sky before my eyes. Immediately I put two and two together. Those damn goblins must have been on the roof of the store and saw me go outside.
I did not know why they did not see me earlier when I killed that goblin but I did not have time to waste. I Leaned against the door with all my weight in the hopes that the small ugly creatures could not break the door open. That was just wishful thinking . A goblin barreled through the window and fell down behind the counter. The second goblin must have seen the actions of the previous goblin and climbed over the now broken window.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Shit shit shit, now I had to face 2 fucking goblins. The first goblin that jumped through the window was hurt, it seems he landed on broken glass and there was blood running down the goblins abdomen and face . The second goblin was just fine as he was staring and snarling at me. They must have seen my hatchet and were just staring and not making a move. I decided to take the opportunity and analyze the goblins.
Goblin Scout level 9
200/200 Health
Goblin Warrior Level 15

The goblins must have seen my indecision as a sign of weakness and started to slowly approach me. I went ahead and threw the hatchet at the unharmed goblin as he was closer to me. The hatchet sank in the goblins groin and the creature screamed as he fell to the ground and started to toss on the floor. Blood was starting to pool under the downed goblin but he was not dead yet. The second goblin was watching the scene with a smirk on he’s ugly face. Before he could make a move I took another hatchet from my back and with the knife in my other hand rushed the warrior goblin. The goblin saw me coming and quickly took the sword he had on he’s back and faced me.
I swung the hatchet towards the goblins head but he easily deflected my swing and brought the hilt of the sword straight to me chest. The hit caused me to falter and drop my hatchet. I fell backward , the goblins smirk was still plastered on he’s face as if he was mocking my struggle as insignificant. He slowly started to move towards me while I was crawling away from him. He must have thought that he could kill me at any time so he wanted to play with he’s food.
The goblin warrior was making weird cackling sounds, probably laughing at me. He lunged at me in an attempt to stab my lag but I quickly dodged to the left and the sword hit the floor. I swung to the right and used my feet to kick the sword but the goblin quickly lifted the sword and brought it down straight into my shoulder.
I screamed and swung the knife in my hand straight at the goblins thigh . The knife got embedded into the goblins leg and I lost grip on the handle. The goblin stumbled backward and I took that chance to get up and run towards the back, the warrior goblin saw me and took chase. I used this chance to get the remaining hatchet from my back and turned around to face the goblin. This time he was more cautious towards me. The fucking goblin was still smirking though, he was bloodied with a knife was stuck in he’s leg but it seemed he didn’t care.
I was speechless, this goblin must be insane. A true battle crazy warrior. My options were limited at this point, I knew I could not take him head on. I needed a plan, something that will give me the upper hand. I decided to do something I once saw in a Asian movie, I ran straight at him whilst throwing the hatchet right at him. I know he will deflect that throw , but the throw was just a diversion. The second the goblin raised he’s sword to block the hatchet I was right in front of him and decided to do a front kick to the goblins chest. He went flying backward from the force of the kick. I knew that the kick would not have killed him so I ran and jumped right on top of him. With one hand I grabbed the goblins sword hand and with the other hand I grabbed the goblins hand and brought it under my leg. I was sitting atop the goblin with my weight pinning him down . With my free hand I started to punch the goblin in the face. The goblin was snarling and trying to bite my hand but I kept punching. Punch after punch as the pain from my injured shoulder and bruised hand kept coming at me igniting my hatred to these creatures further and further. The green blood coming from the goblin was coating my hand and shirt at this point but I did not want to stop.
After what felt like hours, a bell sound rang in my head and I finally stopped, knowing that the goblin was dead. I have literally smashed the goblin’s head to a bloody pulp. I did not forget about the other goblin that was in the store so I stood up and grabbed the now dead goblins sword and headed toward the injured goblin. The scout was still on the floor with green blood pooled all around him. He saw me coming and terror was written all over him, he was whimpering and crying while trying to crawl away. I knew that I had to kill him. This was the new world. Survival of the fittest and the law of the land.
I did not want to take any chance with the goblin. I did not want him to pull a surprise attack on me the same way I did to that warrior goblin earlier. I went to the goblins side and brought the sword down on the goblin’s leg. The leg came off cleanly and the goblin cries just grew louder. I was now sure that the goblin could not pull anything off I stood above the goblin and brought the sword downward with all my strength straight to the goblins neck . The blade pierced the goblin smoothly and even got embedded in the floor underneath. The goblin started making gargling sounds and squirming as he was drowning in he’s own blood.
A minute later and the goblin was officially dead , as the bell sound went off in my head.
I did not want to waste time and I needed to get my first minion, so I went straight to the goblin warriors body as he was a higher level than the scout and stronger as well.
I pointed my palm to the dead goblin warrior and willed the “ Soul Extract “ to activate. Black and purple mist was now covering the dead goblin as the skill was being channeled. Few seconds later and I got a notification .
Soul Extract successful . You have gained the Soul of a level 15 Goblin Warrior
Immediately I willed “Status “ and went to my Skills Tab.

* Goblin Warrior lvl 15
The euphoria from gaining my first minion elevated the recent battle fatigue and the pain from my shoulder was dissipating as well. The natural healing regeneration was kicking in. In chaos world health automatically regenerates once you are out of combat. I had 210 health points remaining after the battle so it would take a few minutes to regenerate the damage.
I went ahead and opened my main status window to go over the recent notifications that popped during my battle.
[ You have killed a level 15 Goblin Warrior ]
[ You have gained 5200 Experience Points ]
[ You Gained 2 levels ]
[ You Have Killed a level 9 Goblin Scout ]
[ You Gained 1300 Experience points ]
As I now had 20 points of stat points to spend I decided to not spend them just yet. I needed to see first how combat alongside my minions will proceed and I could allocate my points accordingly.
I now needed to loot the goblins and see what I got from them. While placing my hand on the goblin warrior corpse I said “ Loot “ . The corpse went up in smoke and a small vial red vial was now in its place. The knife that was embedded in the goblin also dropped to the ground. I went ahead and placed my hand on the goblin scouts corpse and looted it as well. A few silver coins dropped to the ground . I pocketed the coins and went ahead to analyze the loot I received .
"Healing Potion"

"Sword"

" Bleeding Dagger "
Uncommon Rank

Durability 14/15
I had a good idea to what I could use the dagger for. I went to grab one of the shovels I saw earlier and removed the head to attach the dagger to the body and thus making a makeshift spear out of it , so I went straight ahead and made a crude spear with some rope that was laying around.
A bell sound and a notification popped up.
" Weapon Smith Profession Unlocked "
Rank- Amateur
You are now able to craft crude weapons
I went ahead and analyzed the spear I just crafted.
" Crude Bleeding Spear "
Uncommon Rank
23-26 Damage
Special Function : Causes bleeding damage of 5 health points per second for 10 seconds
Durability 9/20
The spear was not bad , it had decent damage and the special function of the dagger carried over. I decided to make the spear as I realized that I needed distance between me and the monsters until I could get more skills.
I grabbed a backpack that was behind the counter and put a few more hatchets inside of it and 2 hatchets behind my back. I also placed the sword I got from the goblin inside of it, the handle was reachable so I could get a hold of it in a hurry if need be.
It was finally time to summon my first minion to the world. I used the “ Soul Summon” skill and black smoke came out of my hands and three level 15 Black warrior goblins materialized and solidified right in front of my eyes.
I was ready now. Ready to leave the store. Ready to grow .
Ready to go to my parents.
