“Now, let’s go that way.” I said while pointing in the direction of green dots.
We headed that way and after some walking my eyes fell on a…goblin?
Uh, I thought beasts was supposed to look like animals, I would call it a monster not a beast. Whatever this is the naming system of this world.
“Wait here” I said to Maria before leaping on the poor goblin.
‘This is your end buddy’ inwardly I was quite at ease because the goblins are supposed to be the weakest mon-beasts in the food chain, right?
*slash*
[You have defeated a magical beast.]
[You have gained a small amount of EXP]
Aaand just like that I got my first kill, it was quite easy.
Interesting thing was that his body disappeared in the thin air and in its place, there was a stone glowing.
Oh? So, they drop items. But before I could ask what that glowing stone was there was something I needed to do first.
This wasn’t the end because he had some friends who were in vicinity and using my omni-sense I could feel that currently they were all headed towards my direction.
‘Come and give me some EXP you idiots’
*slash slash slash*
It was a child’s play; I was feeling like I started to play a game at level 1 with very easy difficulty.
It was another matter that this really was the case, but hey I got a second life so why not be a little cautious?
Till this point all the goblins I killed were mindless fools with no to little armor on their bodies who were just jumping on me without a stop.
But there was one that looked a little different from others, he didn’t mindlessly attack me and was wearing armor most probably from the adventurers they killed.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
He also had a sword in his hands and right now it seemed like he was chanting something.
I instinctively felt that there was something wrong, so I avoided the goblins’ attacks and jumped to get away from there.
I was still in the air when the place where I was fighting with the goblins exploded.
‘What the fuck? He killed his own kind just to eliminate me?’ I was a little taken aback by his actions.
I honestly didn’t think that he would do something like that.

That armored goblin is bad news and since the play time was over and he was begging me to end his pathetic life, I got serious as well.
I used my agility and also used {Speed Enhancement}.
{Speed Enhancement: Magic Skill that increases my AGL by 5 times temporarily
MP: 50/sec}
Yeah, its effect was quite amazing, but that skill also costed a lot of MP while in use.
Since this was the fastest way to end this, I decided to use it.
In a split second I appeared in front of him and pierced my sword in his heart. He turned into ashes and this time the item he dropped was not a stone, it was a ring.
I took the ring and placed it in my pocket for now.
[50 MP used]
“I don’t think there’s any more of these, you can come out and help me collect all these”
After we collected all the stones, I decided to ask her about it.
“Bella, what is this?” I asked showing her one of the stones in my hand.
“This is a magic crystal, and it is a useful commodity in the world. Many magical items and tools use it as a fuel to run.”
Hmmm, it’s like petrochemicals then?
[MP fully replenished]
‘That Life-Essence Ability is really something, even if I use my MP recklessly that replenishes my MP almost instantly.’
‘This is no fun, easy is not much of a challenge’ I thought and decided to head for the yellow dots.
I started heading that way and Bella followed me, after some time of silence walk, she spoke,
“Ah Abel what did you do at the end?”
Her voice was little hesitant maybe because she was afraid, I would scold her or something
“What do you mean?” I asked to clarify since her question was little vague for me to answer.
“I mean, I couldn’t see what happened back there. You landed on the ground and suddenly appeared where the goblin was with a ring in your hand.”
“Oh? I just rushed to him and pierced my sword in his heart.” I replied nonchalantly
“You rushed?” she asked again with a shocked expression

Riiiiight, by using Speed Enhancement my AGL became 100+. That’s no surprise that she couldn’t even see a thing.
And since I am going to fight with a little stronger beast from now on, I should also invest my Stat Points.
