Nazeem awoke to the sounds of fighting , he kept his eyes closed but heard the goblins getting slaughtered , he had no way to keep track of the days , so he would count this as his second day. Noctis said that the other person would be coming in a few days but he had no idea how long , he could probably sneak out earlier but he would bide his time , seeing how much he could devourer here before he would plateau , he was feeling a bit sleepy still he had no idea how long these humans slept maybe they need less sleep with stats but he was still feeling tired.
He waited till the humans were done and heard them walking past him , he saw that the skeletons and weapons had disappeared luckily. He looked at the humans and saw they looked the same as from his previous world , but these were distinctly arab looking like his home country , he put this information away hoping it would be easy to identify the human he had to kill when it was time. While thinking he slumbered away again.
While sleeping he awoke three times again by human parties walking past him , all arab looking , olive green skin and black hair brown eyes. He was surprised to see that some parties were full women and some parties full men , it seems strength was the same in this world between the genders.
After waking up for the third time he stayed still , he was luckily not hungry yet seemingly the void in his stomach storing the food , he felt he had more transformations in him also. He started counting to try and keep track of the time. The first part that woke him up returned after counting about 4-6 hours give or take , it was hard to keep track and he was getting bored out of his mind. After that the other parties also returned with each hour in between them. so it was probably 7-9 hours till he was woken up. He transformed into a goblin , and picked up a random dagger that could more be called scrap metal that was still laying around , he would explore the dungeon a bit. He guessed that yesterday it took about 3 hours before the goblins respawned , he was not ready for the spiders yet not thinking infiltrating would work and not imagining himself walking with 6 legs.
He walked around a bit when he suddenly came into an empty room with stairs going down. He imagined stronger creatures would be down there and he was not ready for that yet. so from the center he carefully checked the cardinal directions , sadly all the rooms were empty probably picked clean by the adventurers , he recognized that the northside was probably were the spiders were , on the right side the goblins , and he didn’t know what the others monsters would be or if they were the same. He went back to the goblin room and repeated his action, killing 7 goblins again with the same tactic. He gained no levels but 1 dexterity. He could barely notice the difference between 15 and 17 but he guessed eventually it would help. This time before sleeping he slowly crept around checking the other rooms. In one room he saw rats , he was not trying his luck there. In the other room he found a small scaly lizard walking bipedally , probably kobolds; he didn't trust his dagger against their scales so he also left them. But to the left opposite of the goblin room from the staircase room he saw a bullfrog roughly 50cm tall , the room was filled now because most things had respawned but he guessed that he could pick some off the next day. This time he tried to stay awake because he wanted to see if the adventures would notice the few missing goblins.

He tried counting the hours again , probably around 2 hours later the humans appeared again , so he had around 5 hours in between when humans would appear it seems. He was nestled as a coin again. He watched their battle tactics a bit more and it seemed after the fighting they would bring a backpack out of the hallway from the other side and equip it before continuing. With information gathering done he went to sleep , he awoke a few times again but continued sleeping he was now sleeping throughout the day he was guessing.
When the last party left again this time he went to the bullfrogs in goblin form to inspect them and the spawn pattern. He saw that they as the goblins spawned probably by the time they were killed , the first three spawned with a space of a minute in between them but then they started spawning more rapidly. He noted the place they spawned in the room and went back to the goblins again and killed another 4 of them. He noticed the adventurers arguing a bit and shrugging their shoulders so it seems 7 missing were noticed so he slowed it down to 4 , and would only try and kill the 3 bullfrogs tomorrow by spawn camping them.
He was still level 3 but hoped it would change with the bullfrogs tomorrow. He could luckily keep the coin/goblin morph expenditure for now. The next night he went to the bullfrogs and went to stand behind the spot where the first one respawned yesterday. He transformed into his mimic form and waited , a puff of smoke appeared and the bullfrog spawned , it was about 50 cm in height so it would fit in his maw , he struck with tongue and tried to pull the bullfrog , but instead he was pulled to it, not that it matters , he still encompassed the creature and bit down on its backside , its was split in 2 by its serrated teeth. The unseen mimic is the deadliest Nazeem thought. He quickly pulled the corpse's remains inside him with his tongue , and dragged himself with his tongue to the next spot. He luckily was able to repeat it 3 times , then morphed into a goblin and quickly ran back there to kill 4 again before eating those too; he started eating in mimic form after this because it was so much quicker.
A week went by this way , he was getting bored out of his mind , but he didn’t dare to go to the other monsters yet , because his level was now 6 and he had gained 2 strength and another dexterity. But he still wasn’t feeling a lot more powerful yet.
