Chapter Four: Fight
The wheel steadily slowed down and my heart started thumping as it was about to stop on the Rare slot.
But to my horror the wheel actually didn't stop moving and it landed on the Minor Curse slot.
The wheel disappeared in a bright flash of light. Suddenly a window popped up in front of me.
[ You have been afflicted with a
'W-what the fuck!!! What kind of situation is this!'
Suddenly I felt a searing pain in my right eye and I actually fell of the tree branch.
"Oomf!" I fell to the ground and I saw 2 HP go down in a flash and I was holding my right eye in pain.
The pain eventually subsided and I saw that I could no longer see from my right eye.
"THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!" I yelled out in anger.
What kind of fucking wheel of fortune was that shit! I basically lost an eye!
In a fit of rage I ran off deeper into the forest not caring for the consequences.
"Ha... ha..." I was gasping for air. I lost track of time as I was running in the forest.
Exhaustion hit me like a semi-truck and I fell to the ground.
Whew... I calmed down now and I realized that I foolishly rushed deeper into the forest.
I heard a rustling noise in the plant life behind me.
'Shit!'
I quickly got and and took out my knife and got into a defensive stance.
A creature came out of the bushes behind me.
I used [Identify] on it.
[Kobold Lv: 5]
It was a disgusting monster that was about 4 and 1/2 feet tall. It sort of had a dog like face with a humanoid body. It was wearing dirty rags and held a short spear that was poorly made.
I cursed myself for being so foolish and running off into the forest in a fit of anger.
Luckily there was only one and it looked skinny... malnourished. I could see it's ribs poking out of its sides.
The kobold let out a some sort of battle cry as it charged towards me with its spear pointing in my direction.
I quickly dove to the side and rolled on the ground and stood back up.
It didn't work as well as I hoped it would. There were some sharp rocks on the ground that stabbed into my back and it hurt and I saw that my HP went down. 7/10
I was at a disadvantage here. The kobold has a longer reach and I am blind in my right eye. I can't let this fight drag on or I will lose my life.
Suddenly I remembered that I had unused stat points that I could use to make myself stronger. I chastised myself for forgetting such a crucial element to this world and quickly opened my status.
Meanwhile the kobold was currently snarling at me and I could see its sharp teeth in the dark forest. We were currently circling each other as it was wary because I was able to dodge its first attack.

As I was looking at my status and was delighted to find my level rose and saw new stat points, the kobold suddenly rushed towards me again in an attempt to kill me.
I was stupid and accidentally took my eyes off my opponent in front of me to look at my status and I paid for it.
The kobold was able to cut my right shoulder due to my mistake and I cried out in pain as my HP dropped to 5/10.
I quickly moved backwards and made sure not to take my eyes off of it. I clenched my shoulder and could feel the warm blood coming out. I inwardly thought to myself 'Shit, shit shit.... Put all points into agility!'
Stolen novel; please report.
Suddenly I felt as if my body got lighter. The kobold charged me again and I felt that it was definitely slower this time.
I was clearly able to see its movements. I easily dodged its stab and got in close to its body and drove my knife straight into it's neck.
The kobold was stunned and its eyes looked at me in disbelief as it was choking on its blood.
Within moments the kobold fell and died and another window popped up saying that I leveled up.
[Level up]
For courageously killing an opponent that was a higher level than you, you are given these gifts.
<7 Distributable Stat Points>
<1 Lottery Ticket>
I took the lottery ticket and put it into my inventory and thought to myself. 'Hmph. Like hell I'm gonna use that lottery again. I'm not stupid.'
I noticed to my surprise that my HP went all the way back to full health and I saw that my wounds were all gone.
'Hmm.. I guess that I get healed whenever I level up.'
I took the poorly crafted spear from the hands of the dead monster and left the scene.
When I was a good distance away I drank some water under a tree.
"Great... now I'm all out of water. Well.. I'm too tired now. The first thing I'll do tomorrow is look for a water source." I said to myself.
I climbed the tree much easier than before to my pleasant surprise. 'It must be due to my increased agility.' I thought to myself.
I quickly fell asleep and woke up the next morning.
I was extremely tired and hungry as I woke up from the tree branch. I didn't get enough sleep and I haven't eaten at all except for those blue fruits yesterday.
I climbed back down to the ground and I decided to explore the forest in search of a water source.
But first I needed to distribute my unallocated stat points.

My sudden increase in agility last night definitely helped me a lot in yesterdays battle. But my low HP is definitely a problem. I wonder what happens when I put in a single point into HP?
I distributed 1 stat point into my HP and saw that it rose to 15/15.
I was hoping for it to go up to 20 but oh well...
I had 6 stat points left and I decided to put in 3 in agility and 3 in strength.
I thought that agility could definitely help me when I'm running away from stronger monsters.
With that I began my search for some water.
After about 2 hours of searching I finally came upon a small clear stream and I let out a small cry of happiness.
I quickly knelt down on my knees and drank from the stream to quench my thirst and fill my water bottle with the water.
"KYAA!!"
I heard a scream in the distance.
'It's definitely a human girl. I should go check it out. It will be my first contact with another person in this world... hopefully I can get some information.'
I quickly rushed toward where the scream was. With my new agility I was definitely faster than before and I felt great while feeling the wind blowing through me while I ran.
I heard multiple cackles of laughter and I hid behind a tree. I peeked and saw that there were 5 kobolds that surrounded a girl that looked to be about 10 years old and she was holding a small knife with her childish hands and was trembling in fright.
'Oh shit... she's screwed.'
I have 2 choices... A) Ignore her and run away... or B) Rush in and save her.... What do I do?
