Ok, so where am I?
Hmmm...despite it being so dark - I can still see clearly, being nocturnal, must be a goblin trait.
Ohhh I am butt naked, I will need to do something about this later.
I observe the area for about a minute.
This must be a cave, it's very small for a cave, though it's a perfect fit for me.
I will use it as a base, for now, it's not a bad start.
Alright, let's start planning...
First I need to meditate...
I usually did this in my previous life in order to clear my mind and handle difficult situations.
While meditating...
[Leonidas AKA GobiLeo - level 1]
[Race - Goblin]
[Skills]
[Spear Mastery - level 1]
[Blessing of the Goblin God]
What is this? My Stats?
This is some pretty cool stuff, it will be very useful.
While pondering the situation I was in, I decide to do a few things.
First, I need to know my body's limits:
So after a light warm up. I start to do a little bit of shadow boxing and because I did extensive kickboxing training in my previous life, despite being a goblin, it was very easy for me. My old training routine enabled me to familiarize myself with the movement a goblin.
This body is very weak physically, I would say about the strength of a kid aged around 8-10, but at least I am very agile, well I'm not expecting much for a goblin.
The second part of the plan meant going outside to search for water and food.
Oh, lucky me, a river - right outside my cave.
I used the reflection of the river to check how I look like. As I thought, I am ugly as fuck...
Green skin, pointy ears and two sharp canines.
Anyways I drank my fill, but this won't be enough.
I start by searching for a thick tree branch and after finding one, around 4ft long, which looks very tough I decide it will do for now.
I sharpen the spear's edge using rocks near the river.
[Weapon Crafting - level 1 - can craft primitive weapon]
Another weird text.....
This is one of the reasons why I chose the Spear Mastery skill because a spear is relativity easy to make, a club wouldn't be too bad either. However, a spear is far more effective when comes to killing.
Right after I finish crafting the spear, I start moving to search for prey.
While searching I avoid some scary looking beast, a Giant Spider, packs of wolves and a giant snake/anaconda lol. Damn this place is dangerous, I need to move very cautiously, one mistake could lead to death.
It took around 1 hour, but finally, I was able to spot my first prey. Yes, it was rabbit again......
It's a weird looking rabbit, it has a spike on its back, like its spine is the spike and it is also popping out, it looks very sharp too. I'm assuming this rabbit would be very agile, chasing it down would be a bad idea. I need to utilize a surprise attack.
I move very slowly making as little noise as possible, I hide in a bush which is close to the target and ready my wooden spear, with this the ambush was set, I just need to make it move in attacking reach.
I grab a stone on the ground and then throw in front of it, after that the rabbit raises its ears, and the spike on its back starts pointing upward, it starts running towards my direction, perfect, just as planned, and when it is within my range, I immediately jump out stab it in the side of its body, it was successful, the rabbit died right away.

Level up!
[GobiLeo - level 2]
I ate the rabbit raw, at first I was hesitant, but I needed it to survive, surprisingly it is very tasty. I took the spike and hide inside my cave.
My next target is a black rabbit although this one is a bit different, it doesn't have a spike on its back, I climbed the tree to get a better look.
It's in a group of 6, looks like they are eating, lemme have a better look... gulp... they are eating a deer! These are no ordinary rabbits, they have sharp claws and sharp teeth, they are carnivores, due to their numbers I wouldn't stand a chance. I need to get out of here, but.
The tree branch I was in snaps, and I drop to the ground.
Ughhhhhh I stand up, right in front of me are 6 rabbits with sharp claws and red glowing eyes...
Shit!
I ran as fast as I can without stopping , it took me a while but I was able to out run them, damn I need to avoid those.
I hunt down 5 more Spike rabbits until night time, they are actually quite common - in the area around my cave.
I level up to level 3 then 4, apparently levelling gets harder as you level higher, at level 1 I needed to kill 1 spike rabbit, at level 2 I need to kill 2 spike rabbits, at level 3 I needed 3, if theory is correct in order to level from 99-100 I would need 99 rabbits to kill... That's a lot of rabbits..... I took the spikes and hide them inside my cave, they could be useful later on.
I gather a bunch of leaves outside and after laying them down in my cave I use them as a bedding for now after that, I went to sleep.
It's been a week now since I was summoned.
I am now level 15, I notice getting a level is hardly noticeable, but after level 10 my fighting capability improved by a bit.
Right now I don't need an ambush to hunt spike rabbits, I am agile enough to catch them in a chase. I also hunt the small snakes and bats that wonder into my cave and I take the poison sacks from the snakes and hide them inside my cave.
My daily routine,
In the morning I would practice wielding my spear to get the blood flowing. Afterward, I eat from my stockpile of food - created from the food I save up every other day. Then the hunt begins.
However, today is different I will be hunting further away and search for new prey.
Hmmm, there not much prey around here I need to go even further.
As I was searching, I saw a group of people.....
Humans.....
1 adult male holding a shield and sword wearing leather armor, two adult females with short swords and who wear leather armor, and a brat who age looked around 10-12, they seem to be hunting a monster.
Out of curiosity, I tail them very carefully. It seems that they are helping the brat to level up, they corner their prey and inflict a reasonable amount of damage but don't kill it - then they let the brat deal the finishing blow.
An hour passes, I start to become bored.
Ohhh finally, something has caused them to become excited.
"Boss this is a good one hehe"(adult male)
"Great go catch it! That should grant a huge boost to my level"(human brat)
They all nod and proceed to their target.
Hmmmmn?....
Wait.... Isn't that a goblin?
End of chapter.
