It's been a week since I've appeared in this world, and things are starting to look up. I leveled up twice after my slaughter of mini foxes, and I've started to get used to what I have to do. It's not like I enjoy doing it... well that's not entirely true. That dark part of me is definitely enjoying this, even if the main part of me isn't. I just know that it has something to do with my race, which honestly makes it worse. If it was something influencing me then that would mean I can stop it, but it is part of me. Luckily I've learned how to suppress it, sort of. It's more of ignoring it untill it stops bugging me, and I know that can't be good for my mental health but I don't know what else to do.
Once again I check my status just to see if anything changed, I know it probably hasn't but there is always hope.

I must say that I feel good with my high stats, especially my agility. Since 10 is the average for a human, that means I am two and a half times the speed of a normal person. I'm starting to think that this trait of mine is really as OP as it seems, if this is the norm then high leveled people would be like gods. I've only been here a week and I'm already level four, imagine what I would be like if I grew up here.
This doesn't mean I'm some kind of apex predator here, I once witnessed the mega wolf, as I've started calling it, take down some kind of boar creature that was twice its height. The mega wolf attacked so fast that I couldn't even see it move, just a blur. The next thing I knew the boar was dead, and the beast dragged it away to what I assume is it's home. Safe to say I have a long ways to go before I can even consider attacking it.
There is one place that I think I can get stronger at. It's what I can only describe as a goblin lair. That's right, goblins, short, ugly, green skinned goblins. Now, normally I wouldn't even consider killing something that could be sentient, but from what I've seen of them, they are nothing more than beasts. They hunt down smaller creatures with rocks and sharp sticks and eat them right there. They even eat eachother, I will say I vomited after seeing that.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
What makes them simpler to kill is the fact that they hunt alone, which makes them easier to pick off. I'm not stupid enough to run headlong into the cave, especially because there are most likely stronger ones in there.
I head down my tree, dagger in hand, and head toward the lair. Similar to the foxes I wait for one to head out, but this time I follow it further into the woods. I don't want our fight to atract more of them, I'm not that confidant as to handling a group. As the goblin slows down I wait in the bushes nearby, my high agility makes sneaking much easier. The goblin, however, sniffs the air and turns towards me, seems he has a pretty good sense of smell.
Not giving it time to react I jump out of the bush, aiming my weapon at its throat. It dodges at the last second, but still gets a small cut. This seems to anger it, as it growls and charges at me, rock held high. It's faster than I expect, not as fast as me, but fast nonetheless. I dodge, but it suprises me, it throws the rock. I don't have time to react and the rock hits me in the stomach, and it hurts. This is the first time I've been hit like this and to be honest, I got a little scared. As the goblin ran at me, my fight or flight response kicks in. Instead of running, I wait until the creature jumps at me, and using all my speed, raise the dagger to it's chest and push.
The goblin falls on top of me, and I will say I paniced a bit, but after a second it didn't move, so I pushed it off me. My dagger had gone strait through the heart, killing it instantly. Soon, the white experience flowed off of it and into me. It was alot more than I have previously gotten, and I feel I'm about halfway to level five. I check my status to see how much health that rock took.

So sixteen health from that one blow, it seems I majorly underestimated these goblins. It takes me a few minutes to get back to my tree, and I'm feeling a bit better, I am not healed by any streatch, but I did recover a few bits of health. I've also noticed my stamina seems to regen at about one point per minute, though I'm not sure what determines that. I rest my head against the bark of my safety tree and start to drift off to sleep. Hopefully I'll be in better shape tommorow.
