Chapter 14 - Trapped Animal

  I was livid, absolutely fucking livid. The second day in my life in this world I thought was supposed to be amazing and yet I was surrounded by goblins that wanted my head on a fucking pike. Oh it was easy on a monitor, hit 1 2 3 or fuck knows what and magic abilities and spells shot out your wazu, yet here I was feeling cornered and naked, no sense of power or pride.

The real air hitting against my exposed face, the real sound of leaves rustling around me, and the real feeling of fear welled up inside me for the second time in this word.

Abilities! I screamed in my head, surely there must be abilities, I picked the paladin class as Rosie, I don't know what they start with, but I was desperate. "Holy night surround me! Give me Blessing!".. nothing. In fact the goblins drew closer and closer.

I couldn't stall any longer, a short green little figure dashed for me first, its ears flopping in the wind, its dagger drew aimed for my neck. I was frozen, petrified, what could I do, time didn't stop for me, there was no moment of clarity, it all happened in a second, another whizz another arrow in my side, another cut across my arm fending of the one in front of me.. and another arrow jammed right into my fucking back.

I was losing, hell I don't think it was even a battle in the first place, that would've meant I fought back. Spitting out blood onto the forest ground, I brought myself up. If it wasn't a battle, then I damn was at least going to make it that.

THWACK I kicked the little fuck face standing in front of me with all my thin lustrous legs could offer, and to my surprise a lot, his body flew into a nearby tree like a football, then impaled it like a spike with a disturbing splatter sound as the bark of the tree got dyed red. Memories of my rape filled me at the sight, fueling my fire into something even fiercer.

Is this what you imagined in terms of abilities young paladin? You see, in this world, in your current state, you don't activate abilities, you execute them. Like say a normal kick for example.

Astonished at the blue prompt before me, I looked down at my foot that was now glowing a righteous yellow aura around it.

Ability Unlocked : Paladins Boot

Much like a normal kick, except packed with the power to send most things flying, can also be used to interrupt most channel based spells.

I didn't have time to study the prompts to their fullest extent, I was still surrounded, but now I had an ability, something to work with and cling onto. I hobbled over to the back of what I thought to be a safe tree from the reach of the goblin archers. With blood dripping down my side and back, I leaned against the tree for support, avoiding putting pressure onto any of the arrows that protrude for my mangled body.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

A whizz sound flew near me again, but safely turned into a vibrated thwack as it etched itself into the tree. I need to run, I can't deal with this many, especially this many that I can't even see.

Bracing myself to run towards what I thought to be the direction of the cabin, I sprinted as fast as I could with the injuries I sustained. My speed was slow, the pain unbearable, I don't think I'll make it.

Before I could go even deeper in my wallow and strife, an arrow pierced the bottom of my right leg, right through my fucking foot. The arrow was strong, I think it was stuck in my bone. I tumbled to the floor, then heard a crack sound, realizing it was probably my potions in my backpack cracking from the weight of my body on it, further increased by the force of my tumble

Just my fucking luck, god damnit why has everything gone so wrong so fast. First those fucking demons hiding in human form, then being outnumbered by these goblins, it's supposed to be a starting village for christ sake! Why is this world so unfair. Tears were already flowing down my face in defeat.

The goblins all drew near me slowly closing in, I finally realized that these goblins aren't very smart. They were closing in to finish me off instead of shooting an arrow through my skull from a distance, that was their last god damn fucking mistake.

I used the damn arrow sticking through my bone as a weapon with my glowing kick, a glowing aura wrapped around my foot easing the pain for a second. Then it swiftly impaled itself into the closest goblin like a homing missile. A sickening sound roared through my ears as the goblins left eye popped out from the impact.

I was now twisting myself with the foothold in this goblin's skull, not stopping to think, not even really thinking anymore. I threw my sword straight at the furthest goblin holding a drawn bow, before I landed from my bizarre kick I just executed, I held the sharp side of my shield aimed down as I fell from my goblin skull foothold, his body still attached by the arrow, moving with my weight as I fell down.

The shining sharp shield connected to the neck of another goblin, with his thin dangly neck, and the weight of my fall, his head came clean off with a disgusting pop. Splurting blood all over the forest ground as the projectile force of it, actually moved the goblin's head a bit like a fucking rocket.

Left only with my shield and arms, I crawled to the next goblin, grabbed his fucking leg to trip him over and jammed my fingers into his eye sockets screaming out in pain and terror "NEVER AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN GOD DAMNIT"

There was one last goblin some ways away pulling a bowstring back aimed at me, my instincts screamed, grabbing the goblin I had hold of I pulled him from his skull with my fingers still in his eye socket, and used his body as shield as a loud thump vibrated through the tiny torso.

I grabbed a nearby dagger that was presumably this poor fucks, and hurled it at the last goblin. To my surprise it actually hit him, albeit in the foot, lucky for me.. it was enough, and the goblin ran way.

I was covered in blood, my foot had an arrow in it, that was then attached to a goblin's head, I was holding another goblin from his skull and eye sockets, arrows pierced through me in numerous areas, digging even further with my weight on them. This wasn't the life I imagined.. I was slowly losing consciousness.
