'Ok, ok, calm down, think straight, what the hell happened?' I thought to myself, I simply can't stop shaking, but weirdly enough, I can somewhat feel the adrenaline and somewhat excited, but serious, begin called a Battle Maniac by this fucked up system is really terrible, and what's the title suppose to do anyway?

Battle Maniac

Your blood-thirst for battles gives you a boost of 10% to all

your combat-related basic status while in combat, except for HP, HP

regeneration, Mana, Mana regeneration, Stamina and Stamina Regeneration.

'Wow! Kind of a smart shit this system is. Anyway, seems like I hit the jackpot, if that guy that talked about the apocalypse is right, this buff will prove to be very useful. Hmm, what is that shinning thing near the goblin?' I can see something right beside the goblin, I picked it up and seems to be some coins, pretty sure it dropped from the goblin, what is it useful for?

Gold is the current in the current world, you can use it to trade

with player or in the shop.

'Pretty useful, I want to see my Status now... please?'

'Hmm... Seems like, pretty average? '. I couldn't help but imagine, was everybody status starting point similar, or could they be different depending on the person? Anyway, what each status of those do. As I was imagining the possibilities of this dammit new shit, I once again heard the usual 'ding sound'

Each point in Vitality raises 2 HP (Only basic status include) and 0,001Health Reg./Sec

Each point in Strength raises 1 Stamina (Only basic status include), 0,005 Stamina Reg./Sec (Only basic status include), your physical damage and overall strength to lift/push objects

Each point in Wisdom raises 0,001Mana Reg./Sec, your thinking speed and magic casting speed

Each point in Intelligence raises 2 Mana, your magic damage and ability to memorize

Each point in Agility raises your body speed and reflex

HP = 50 + LVx10 + Vitalityx2

Mana = 50 + LVx10 + Intelligencex2

Stamina = 50 + LVx10 + Strenghtx1

I started to think that this system can give-me almost any information, really, but how about this golds, how am I supposed to spend them, shopping mall?

'Thanks again! Fucked up system.' I started drooling as I saw what I could do with those coins, pretty much crazy things I'd say, there were some kind of legendary weapons that could turn over seas! Although they were somewhat expensive, so many zeros that I couldn't even imagine, anyway, the skills were somewhat trash, they were all common, or so I think, because the system doesn't give a proper skills' ranking, and pretty much expensive, I think that, probably, the best skills, needed a monster to be killed. I can buy provisions from it as well, I'll consider it later.

As I was looking at the new shopping with sparking eyes, too much different from the cold, detached and dead eyes from before, about 10 minutes have elapsed since I killed the goblin, and the light-spawn in the bathroom started to shine again, dammit, this is for sure, another fucking goblin.

I started to panic as I run the get the small sword that was dropped from the goblin. I was able to get it in time, and slashed the neck of the up coming goblin! Or so I'd like to say, although I indeed got it right on time, my lack of skills didn't let me cut the goblin's neck, different from my imagination, I was just able to do a small cut on its torso, but it was enough for the monster to loses its concentration and started to scream in fury, brandishing its weapon in my direction.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

I started to lose ground, and went backwards, my back hit the wall that was behind me, dammit, I'd really like to see how much damage I was able to do with that failed slash. It was then that I suddenly remembered my only skills, probably a standard one, 'Identification', and started to trying using it, it was pretty simple though, I only need to aim my eyes to the goblin and think about the skill.

Goblin Soldier - Level 3

33/40

'Dammit, such low damage!' The goblin was coming close, it started doing its attacking, slashing his sword horizontal, aiming for my face, maybe because of luck and my survival instincts, I was able to dodge the blade, slighting lowering myself. The goblin not expecting me to dodge his blade, lost his balanced for a couple of second, in those 2-3 seconds, I madly pushed myself right into him, craving my blade deep within its heart, that started to lose its force, and then stopped beating.

Contrary to the goblin's heart, mine was beating maybe a little too fast! If somebody told me that I had 300 heart-beating per minute, I wouldn't dare to doubt him at all! I could really feel the emotion surging, excitement and happiness! Maybe I'm really a battle maniac... I sighed to myself as I started to loot the second goblin, and noticed that the last goblin has already disappeared, leaving only the blood that tainted the floor behind.

The second goblin left me with gold coin and a rather interesting book. On its cape I could see written in big words 'Fireball'. As I opened the book, an option to learn the skill surged to me, I rapidly accepted it, since it could do no harm to learn... right?

I could feel the surge of power full of knowledge  of how to use the new acquired skill coming to my brain.

'Ding.'

Fireball

Basic Fire skill, the user is capable of creating a ball

of fire and control it in a straight line. The ball's damage

and diameter goes up with the user's intelligence and

the proficiency with the skill

'Proficiency? That's new'. I tried to think status together with my new skill, 'Fireball', and was able to see what it meant with the proficiency thing.

Fireball - 5 mana

Proficiency

Beginner - Level 1

Exp: 0.00%

This is not such a shabby skill, it may have its usefulness, and I'm in the perfect place to level up, both my level and my skills' level, it seems I'll be passing a couple of hours here, since the other places may have both more and stronger monsters, with my low capacity, almost losing a fight 1 x 1 against a level 3 goblin, I really don't think I should be moving much from here before leveling up.

With that in mind, I hardened my self and started waiting for the next goblin and thought how I should fight it, right now mana regeneration takes just too long, with my current mana, I can only use it 16 times before it run outs, and it takes about 5 minutes to gain 5 mana points. I'll try to distract the goblin with a fireball on his face, then finish it off with the sword, doesn't sound like a bad plan, let's go with it! I started to firing up, and my blood boiled and run madly through me.

The light shone once again, I knew it was time for the next goblin, and meeting up to my expectation, the goblin soldier spawned again. This time I was ready, and threw a fireball direct on its face. It let a small scream and went slight backwards, sitting down by mistake on the latrine, with the goblin losing its balance, it was pretty much easy to cut his neck, delivering a critical hit on him, proceeding with a vertical slash on his face, that complete sealing his fate.

'Ding.'

Level up

That's exactly what I wanted to see! finally, level 3, and it reminds me that I forgot to distribute the status points from the last level, since I am level 3, I have 12 status points that I haven't spent, I don't know if I should spend them to build a mage like status or a warrior like.

Well, I don't really have to select one of them, I'll have to build all the status, if I don't want to die on this world, although I'll have to prioritize some on others, but I think agility, strength and vitality are the most important, since with the combination of those I can run and take some hits! perfect~~ This way I'll probably avoid death...

Quite the loser thinking I'd say, I think I'll go more with intelligence and strength, since it would be pretty cool if I could both do heavy physical and magic damages, wouldn't it?  There would be no enemy that I couldn't beat! Somewhat like a close combat mage maybe?

With this in mind, I started to madly grinding in the next 3-4 hours, thinking about the new world that was to come, and how my life would change from now on.
