[Adonis P. Vindicta... Goblin Simulator. Begin!]
Right after the unfamiliar feminine voice declared the commencement of his test, a skeleton materialized seemingly from nowhere.
Subsequently, layers of muscles and skin manifested in a chronological sequence.
"They take two seconds to form huh?"
The entity's stature fell nearly a full foot below that of Adonis, its height registering at five feet. Its skin tone bore a light green hue, and its body exhibited a robust build marked by pronounced vascularity.
Adorned in medieval-style brown leather armor from the waist downward, the being left its upper body exposed. Equipped with a short sword and a lightweight iron shield, it held both items in its grasp.
The instant its gaze met that of the human, a remarkable transformation overcame the creature. Initially, its emotionless and serene eyes gave way to a wild fervor, and its unattractive visage contorted into a sinister grin.
"AG AG AG AG!"
The goblin dashed at Adonis with its sword swinging wildly, towards his torso.
'Not much fighting prowess? Just pure malice I see.' The youth observed.
Employing his blade's scabbard, Adonis deftly deflected the initial slash, while simultaneously pivoting to position himself beside the goblin.
Seizing the advantageous opportunity, Adonis swiftly descended into a crouch as he moved behind the goblin. With a deft motion, he skillfully swept both of the creature's legs from under it, forcing the goblin's countenance to meet the ground with force, resulting in a broken nose.
CLANG
The creature's weapon clattered loudly as it dropped to the ground, accompanied by a resonating rattle. Emitting a grunt, it extended its hand in an attempt to reclaim the blade.
Reacting quickly, Adonis ascended to a standing position in one fluid motion. Placing his boot onto the goblin's outstretched right hand, he immobilized it.
Without hesitation, he seized the goblin's steel sword and employed it to puncture the creature's hand, securing it firmly to the ground.
{That's breaking the rules...}
'What the hell is the floor here even made of.' The youth wondered curiously, ignoring the deity.
"SKREE!"
{Finish it!}
***
"That was pretty impressive, he didn't even seem fazed..." An amused deep voice said casually.
***
Two additional goblins materialized from a single dark swirl of mana, their entry accompanied by resounding battle cries.
Adonis sighed as he looked at the creatures being conjured. "Two now?"
Instead of waiting for the goblins to attack him first, Adonis made the first move, lunging toward the one on the right.
Springing into action, he leapt upward, his knee raised and poised to strike, aiming directly at the goblin's face in a flying knee attack.
SMASH
The creature was forcefully propelled backwards, its grip on its weapon relinquished in a helpless manner.
Just as his feet approached the ground, Adonis swiftly ensnared the abomination's comparatively larger head within his hand.
Tapping into his superhuman strength, he forcefully drove the creature's head into the ground, inducing cracks to form and blood to flow from the goblin's skull.
CRUSH
The second goblin, which had emerged alongside the now heavily wounded one, struggled to react to the rapid sequence of events that had transpired within the span of just three seconds.
Only belatedly comprehending that its companion had been defeated, the remaining goblin swung its blade with both hands, targeting the teenager's head.
WHOOSH
In a last-second maneuver, Adonis executed a ducking motion, narrowly avoiding the strike that managed to shear off a few strands of his hair.
{Kukuku...I've been saying you need a haircut.}
As the Deity continued to amuse himself with his quips, Adonis threw a devastating punch at the goblin's sternum, causing the armor to instantly tear apart upon impact.
"KAAKK!"
'Was that too much?'
Deprived of even a moment's respite, three more goblins manifested into existence.
This new trio differed slightly from their predecessors, adorning themselves in dark steel armor and displaying a deeper shade of green skin. Towering slightly taller at 5'5, these creatures presented an altered yet formidable appearance.
Unfurling a coordinated advance, the creatures charged straight ahead, moving as a synchronized unit.
Upon meeting their eyes, Adonis detected a flicker of intelligence that sent a disquieting sensation through his stomach.
Despite the unsettling feeling, Adonis pressed forward, resolute in the face of the goblins' challenge.

As Adonis closed the distance to the fresh adversaries, they surged in speed, lunging menacingly in his direction, their blades slicing through the air in diverse trajectories.
SLASH
Adonis's gaze stayed fixed on each individual strike. His body and head shifted with meticulous precision, evading the separate attacks of all three goblins with a calculated finesse.
'What's the most practical way to deal with them?' He pondered to himself.
{Don't think for a second that I'll give you an answer.} Eos scoffed sounding disgusted.
'I wouldn't expect you to be THAT helpful.' Adonis replied sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.
{Ungrateful brat!}
'Hehe, kidding.' He playfully chuckled before he made up his mind.
As he continued to effortlessly evade each of the goblin's attacks, Adonis stretched his left arm out and grabbed the goblin on the left's attacking arm.
This strange gesture caused the other two to be slightly confused, but they still continued in their assault, desperately trying to cut up the young man.
Still dodging the attacks despite the increased intensity, Adonis slammed the goblin he had grabbed into the rest; sending them all flying, one on top of another.
THUD
Adonis swiveled his head to observe additional goblin skeletons materializing, readying himself for yet another round of combat.
Swiftly responding to their manifestation, Adonis surged forward, taking them by surprise and incapacitating all four before they could mount an attack.
As the subsequent wave of goblins commenced their manifestation, Adonis gazed out into the vacant expanse of white and decided to make an attempt, summoning his voice with a hint of hope.
"May you please just bring them all at once?"
{Show off...}
"This is just taking way too long." Adonis sighed.
[Are you sure?]
"Yes please."
[Spawning the remaining forty-five goblins... Excluding the boss.]
'Excluding the boss?'
***
"Is he that confident?" The mystery man chuckled.
***
Suddenly, the whole space was filled with dozens of creepy goblins all itching to kill the teenage boy in front of them.
"SKREEE!!"
{So loud.}
'I know right?'
Adonis lunged towards the throng of goblins, his demeanor untouched by fear, ready to engage.
The first goblin he confronted seemed initially taken aback by Adonis's swiftness, yet it clung to its determination to eliminate this human threat.
However, that resolve crumbled swiftly as Adonis unleashed a powerful blow, striking the goblin's jaw with devastating force before it could act upon its unyielding resolve.
BAM
Rather than succumbing to fear after witnessing their companion's quick defeat, the remaining goblins responded with heightened screeches, channeling their energy into a surge of bloodlust and aggression.
"SKREEE!"
{When will they realize that screeching won't help?} The Devil God sighed.
After vanquishing one goblin, Adonis pressed on without respite, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake as he advanced.
The teenager propelled himself into the oncoming wave of monsters, unleashing a frenzy of punches and kicks in all directions.
Simultaneously, he deftly avoided each incoming attack, displaying an exceptional combination of offense and defense.
In the midst of his relentless assault, Adonis encountered a goblin that eluded his line of sight.
Unexpectedly, this hidden adversary hurled its blade toward Adonis's head while he executed a kick against another goblin's cranium.
Rather than evading the projectile, Adonis caught the blade in his teeth, his abnormally robust jaw effortlessly reducing it to pieces.
SHATTER
{Now that was just unnecessary...}
***
"That's something I've never seen before..."
***
This feat of strength was enough to send chills throughout the bodies of every single goblin that surrounded him.
For the first time in their two minutes of life, they felt pure dread...
Adonis's prowess didn't halt at that display; following his consumption and subsequent expulsion of the disintegrated steel blade, he aimed the shrapnel toward the midsections of five surrounding goblins.
SPLURT
SPLURT
SPLURT
SPLURT
SPLURT
This tactic inflicted injuries that were severe enough to incapacitate them without being fatal, leaving them sidelined for the remainder of the confrontation.
Vaulting three feet into the air to evade a lateral sword sweep launched by a separate goblin, Adonis's sharp perception revealed the intentions of two other goblins.
Positioned as if they were anticipating his jump, they thrust their blades toward his chest in a coordinated assault.
'Was that intentional?'
{You give them too much credit.}
Leveraging his elongated legs, which exceeded the length of the shortsword, Adonis simultaneously extended them in opposite directions. With calculated precision, he delivered forceful kicks to the upper chests of both goblins.
THUD
'This is growing tiresome.'
***
The youth fought goblin after goblin. Making light work of every single one of them.
Following the brief skirmish, he found himself drenched in the warm, freshly spilled blood, yet none of it belonged to him...
As soon as every single goblin was knocked out, the familiar mana particles manifested themselves at the center of the dimension.
This time, the summoned goblin emerged with an imposing stature of 6'5, boasting a pine green complexion and a notably robust musculature.
Eschewing armor, the creature instead adorned itself with a lengthy black cloth cinched around its waist.
Despite its nudity, a mere glance revealed the formidable resilience of its hide, surpassing even the durability of the armor worn by its predecessors.
This goblin forsaken the use of a shield, opting instead for a massive broadsword that seemed to weigh half its own body.
{You won't be able to defeat this one without your weapon.}
'I know...' Adonis sighed as he observed the goblin.
Adonis turned his attention from the goblin as if it wasn't even there and stared into the empty white space.
The youth raised his hand and cleared his throat before he uttered a sentence that shocked all the spectators.
"I resign."
***
"What?" A man exclaimed loudly as he witnessed the boy's actions.
"Is this a joke?" A middle-aged woman spat.
"Disrespectful commoner."
"Does he think this is a game?"
***
"What a strange boy."
***
As soon as he said those words, the injured goblins, and the lone Goblin Warrior began disintegrating and they all screamed in terror.
Soon the space around him was back to plain white as if a battle had never occurred.
The same soft soothing voice echoed through the space as Adonis began walking towards the portal that emerged.
