chapter 1 first encounter

Since I got a new goal I decided to find a way to gain some fame, so I entered the forest at the end of the plains which were filled with corpses which had high level gear, I used inspect on them and this was the result.

Who would pay that much for one potion, I mean come on can’t you just make one?

the higher the alchemist the higher the effects

 you have to find a master to make a potion like this

unless you have the world system which will allow

you to learn it once consumed like any potion or poison

oh did I mention poisons don't work on you?

No you didn’t! Anyway let’s use one of them and gain that skill. I swallowed the potion which tasted like shit but still my fatigue was gone.

gained job legendary alchemistthis job let's you create legendary

Potion’s from anything even grass

Hey system can I gain job’s by watching or eating a master’s craft?

some are more difficult than others but yes

in theory you can, you can also gain jobs by doing

things yourself

well that’s really great now since I have that done let’s change into something better then leather armor. As I was finishing up I heard rustling in the brush only to be face to face with a young boy and a girl holding his hand; the boy was half my height, black hair, brown eyes, dressed in fancy clothes, the girl behind him was smaller than him with flowing blonde hair, and sky blue eyes, dressed in a striped white and pink dress both looked terrified as they looked at me their fear grew even more. I *sighed* and grabbed my cloak once in hand I nodded to them and went on my way, the more I moved away the more I felt uneasy I rubbed the fur on the back of my neck I turned and walked towards the boy and girl I knelt down and said.

“If you are lost I can guard you until you find your way back to your home.” (me)

“WOW! A real kobold that can talk! ” (boy)

“Brother don’t trust it remember what father said about how its kind were evil.” (girl)

I smiled at that and nodded.

“Smart girl, yes normally my kind are hostel so if you see one you run don’t try to talk to it just run. As for me well I am special, I am cursed you see and I am traveling to find a way to break the curse on me, you kid’s can believe me or not it doesn’t matter just let me show you.” (me)

“You promise you won’t try anything.” (boy)

“Yes cross my heart and hope I die.” (me)

“Brother don’t please.” (girl)

Am I really that bad? I guess they really do hate kobolds in this world.

“So how far away is your home?” (me)

“Not that far we were actually returning there when we saw you.” (boy)

“Well let’s get a move on I don’t want to keep your parent’s waiting.” (me)

The boy nodded and stepped in front of me while the girl stayed by his side watching me the entire trip, the boy was so lively like a child should be it kind of makes me jealous seeing him so happy. As we approached a clearing I stopped before entering it the two looked at me and asked.

“Hey mister kobold why have you stopped?” (boy)

“Do you really think it is a good idea to go out and just walk up saying hello to your dad?” (me)

“He is right dad would surely attack him then scold us for bringing a kobold to our home.” (girl)

“But he protected us the whole way here surely dad can see that.” (boy)

“Now listen to me I might not be able to meet him yet but as the day’s go on tell him about our adventures just don’t tell him what I am, he might want a kobold stew if you know what I mean.” (me)

“Fine we understand but how will we know where you are?” (boy)

“I will be camping near here if you whistle I should be able to hear you okay.” (me)

“Alright it’s a deal.” ( boy)

“Wait just a minute you have my brother fooled but not me I won’t allow it.” (girl)

“It’s not like I am forcing him and if you really can’t trust me I will come out to meet your father face to face unarmed just bring him outside and tell him to wait.” (me)

“Wait sister dad will kill him please don’t tell him.” (boy)

“Relax if things get too bad I will just run away anyway it’s for your own safety I would actually prefer your dad knew it eventually but not right now I will follow what you think is best.” (me)

They nodded and both walked through the brush to a log cabin smoke rose from the chimney, the cabin had a warm feel to it almost inviting. As I waited I heard yelling from inside but soon became quite, a bear of a man walked out with an ax in hand this wasn’t going to be good.

“So were those your children?” (me)

“Yes and if you think I will let them hang around a monster think again I know kobold’s they will do anything to get their next prey and I won’t let it happen!” (bear of a man)

“Relax I mean no harm I will come out to face you just don’t attack me when I walk out.” (me)

As I walked out I could feel his killing intent rising the giant bear of a man stood around “6’6” bold other than his beard, dressed in fur clothes his piercing brown eyes looked me over from head to toe then began to speak.

“I have to admit you have some balls coming face to face with me didn’t your pack warn you about me?” (bear of a man)

“For starters I don’t have a pack and second lower the killing intent as you can see I am unarmed if I wanted to attack I would have while I have your children but I didn’t.” (me)

“Enough already Rex it is obviously trying so put the axe away and invite him in for some food.” (???)

“Yes dear.” (Rex)

As he said this he threw the ax in the yard and sighed he looked at me and waved my hand indicating that I am allowed in. as I walked in I saw the two children sitting at a wood table eating some bread and behind them was a middle aged woman that looked like a older version of the girl. The man sat down near their children giving me stares warning me not to try anything, the woman smacked him then looked at me.

“Sorry about that he might be stubborn but he is a good man once you get to know him, anyway what are you doing in this forest without your pack.” (Woman)

“Well like I told your children before, I am cursed and stuck in this form until I can break it and if I may do you know anything about breaking curses?” (me)

“Well sadly no I am a alchemist and cook while my husband is a blacksmith, if you want to know about curses I could write to my sister she is only a few days away in the village of the elves.” (woman)

“Well that would be great thank you until she arrives can I stay near here I can work as payment also I am a cook myself so if you need help in the kitchen I will lend a hand.” (me)

“Well aren’t you a charmer I can see why Alex is she attracted to you other than you being something new.” (woman)

Well glad to hear that just I don’t think his sister likes me that much. (me)

Hm stop talking like I am not here you mutt. (girl)

See what I mean total hatred. (me)

“Hahahaha don’t worry about it she just takes after her father, anyway I would love to hear some of your stories about when you were traveling it’s so boring around here the most excitement now-a-day’s is Rex fighting some goblins that wander over to our humble home poor things don’t even stand a chance.” (woman)

“Well I can see why you say that I can tell he is no push over.” (me)

“Well I guess you are alright after all.” (Rex)

As he said that I smelled something coming from outside it smelled of dog which I think I know what it is from.

“Hey stay inside until the noise has stopped it’s time to earn my keep.” (me)

Everyone was confused at this but I didn’t explain I walked outside shutting the wood door behind me only to meet the gazes of six other kobolds they were all different color some silver other’s brown but none like me. I walked off the porch.

“So you are what we smelled since this morning a stray probably a whelp kicked out of his pack.” (kobold 1)

“Hey umm I don’t think he is a whelp look at those eyes he is definitely strong.” (kobold 2)

“What are you saying only time kobolds are not with their pack is when they are searching for a new one or have been kicked out and he doesn’t look like he is searching very hard.” (kobold 3)

“So you guys think we can take him?” (kobold 4)

“Ya I do.” (kobold 5)

“Ya right you are probably going to be the first to go down he is no push over I can see his killing intent and it’s as strong as alpha’s.” (female kobold)

“Are you guys done talking? I really don’t want to spend a lot of time with this so tell me are you here to fight or scout?” (me)

”Well we were sent to see if the new smell that appeared earlier was a new pack moving in turns out it was only you so if you don’t plan on taking our territory we will be alright.” (female kobold)

“Ya sure whatever makes you happy  just return to the camp so you don’t see this the alpha gave us separate orders since you are so naïve.” (kobold 1)

“Yes hunting time.” (kobold 3)

“I have to agree with Anne on this we shouldn't fight this guy.” (kobold 2)

“Well if that’s your opinions just stay there the ones that want to fight come and get it but be warned 

after this is over you only have yourself to blame.” (me)

Alright let’s test out my new strength.
