As the goblins came at her Lavinia stood on guard ready for any attack. Actually she thought she was ready until a goblin from behind jumped swinging at her back. She heard the footsteps then the grunt and jump of the goblin. Quickly turning right before it could land a hit she collided its small blade with her dagger. Deflecting it as the goblin landed backwards another one from the opposite direction tried to attack her as well. Lavinia had a feeling this would happen especially after studying monster guides prior to her awakening. She was always training in some sort of way. She learned the patterns of how goblins attack. She also knows that these goblins are on the same rank as her, being E rank. Using one hand she collided with this goblin that attacked her from behind with her open hand she sent her fist into the side of its head knocking it to the ground. She rushed at it as the goblin tried to recover she tried to slam her dagger into its chest but before she could a goblin got the jump on her about to attack her. Reacting quickly activating her new skill honestly it was complete luck by assuming if she thought about the skill it would activate. Hoping she was right she dodged jumping back but instead of going back slightly she went back a lost faster moving far enough away to get out of the attack range. The goblin landed after missing her and seemed upset with the failed attack. It was at this point where Lavinia realized she was playing too defensively; she had to go on the offensive if she wanted to win this fight. The best part about her positioning is that she can clearly see all five goblins in front of her. She decided if she could move fast enough these goblins would not stand a chance! She was about to use dash again when a screen popped up with what seemed to be a helpful tip from the system
The usage of skills
Will drain the user's stamina much faster!
Be wary of repetitive skill usage!
After giving this tip and letting her read it for a moment it disappeared making her sigh a bit. Of course there's a limit to her usage of skills, what else did she expect! She thought of the word stamina thinking it was stupid but then a screen appeared showing what seemed to be a white wheel that was partially depleted but slowly recovering. She went on to assume this as her stamina and that it was building up as she stays still and depletes as her skill was used or as she went on and fought these goblins. She shook her head if she could kill them fast enough then stamina would not be a problem. THis was her thought process activating her dash skill and charging at one of the goblins, specifically the one that just finished recovering. The goblin was caught off guard by Lavinia's speed. It managed to block the attack but Lavinia quickly recovered from the goblins guard she swiftly plunged the dagger into its chest then ripping it out of it causing blood to gush out and letting the goblin fall over lifeless. Lavinia backed off of the goblins corpse looking at the rest of the goblins. They did not seem like they wanted to back off nor did they flinch at one of their comrades dying. Two goblins charged at her at once one was slightly ahead of the other. Lavinia moved to the side, slightly slicing her dagger onto the front of its neck using most of its own force to cut into the goblins neck. The goblin lost life in the eyes almost instantly as blood spurted out of the neck wound. She then quickly reacted to the other goblin that was behind the goblin she killed. She charged at it when it inevitably jumped up to hit her. She charged tackling the goblin letting the dagger enter the chest of the goblin she would roll with the corpse. This was a risky move as after stabbing the goblin it plunged its dagger into the back of her shoulder. She yelled in pain at the dagger in her back even though the goblin was dead she stabbed it 3 more times in anger getting up, backing away from the corpse she sighed heavily looking at the rest of the goblins there were just two left. Once they fall she gets this training over with and she grows stronger! She charges at one of the two goblins the fake breeze blowing in her ears. To counter her charge the goblins come rushing right at her both moving to different sides of her. The goblins being uncoordinated one goes right before the other Lavinia stopped before kicking the one that came first into the chest sending it flying a bit away. Now turning her attention to the other goblin knowing it was risky she did it anyway. Activating dash she appeared in front of the goblin quickly slamming the dagger into its skull piercing the head. It goes limp on the blade falling over and it slides off the dagger. She could hear a beeping turning to her side and a screen appeared revealing her stamina was below 15 percent. She saw the other goblin, the one that was kicked, was recovering from the kick, walking out of a cloud of dust that was kicked up from the goblins' impact onto the ground. She was going to risk it activating the skill one more time she dashed at the goblin swinging her dagger wielding at the Goblin. The goblin barely had time to react as it was cut down. Shortly after cutting it down till its death her body tensed up then quickly relaxed falling over out of breath. A new screen appeared hovering above her head as she breathed heavily sweating. This screen seemed to be a continuation of the daily training screen from earlier.

She smiled at seeing the word complete and the number being filled. She kept catching her breath then another screen appeared and right as it did she suddenly did not feel exhausted at all she felt perfectly fine and where she lay in grass was now replaced with the wood of the bench where she accepted the training.

She watched this screen appear and disappear as another screen followed in suite test flashed on this screen that appeared for a short time all it stated was that she leveled up two times. So after seeing this she made her stat screen come back the number now changed to 3 at the top followed by her gaining 6 more stat points from leveling up.

She thought about it for a second. Yes strength was a good stat but speed might also be nice so she would not have to rely on draining such a big part of her stamina on the dash skill. With this idea in her head she gave four points to strength and the remaining two into the speed stat. After she closed that screen a new box appeared similar to the one that gave her the dash skill it opened and a green orb flew out disappearing followed along by a screen.
Random Dagger obtained!
The Goblin Forged Dagger
Has been added to your
INventory!
She then proceeded to open the inventory screen looking at it and she looked at it seeing multiple square like slots all in a consecutive order filling the screen. Solely at the top of the screen was an icon of a dagger she held her hand out when suddenly the dagger in the inventory appeared in her hand causing the screen to close leaving her with the dagger. She examined the dagger. The daggers handle was wood wrapped in what seemed to be a cloth like bandage. The top of the handle leading into the dagger was forged out of bone leading into a metal blade or steel she could not really tell she was never good with blades and raw materials. She shrugged but then while examining the dagger a screen appears displaying the dagger in the top left corner while giving a description of it along with bonuses on using the dagger.
The Goblin Forged Dagger
For the most part it is a basic dagger forged by one of the many
Goblin blacksmiths!
Bonuses!

Lavinia let go of the dagger and it disappeared in a blue pixel like smoke opening her inventory just to check. The screen showing her inventory appeared once more the icon of the dagger in its place in the top first slot. She then closed the screen. Sitting there it still seemed pretty late. She pulled out her phone to check it. The screen turned on showing the time to be 2:32 A.M. She was shocked by this getting up from the bench quickly. She has to get home! She promised her brother she would be home by 9 tonight! Now off the bench she realized another tricky factor with her bike! To get to work she usually takes her bike home but now it's probably destroyed from the gate eruption. She then thought about it, her Dash skill is for one movement so if she just runs in one movement not doing anything else could she use it once to get home? She shrugged moving to the street she stretched getting into position to take off she activated the skill feeling it build up in her legs she took off moving fast but then after a short period her speed cut down from dash ending. She came to a halt with a sigh. This is what she gets for trying to think creatively. Then again even without the dash skill she should be faster than the average person with her speed stat being higher than before. So she started to sprint as fast as she possibly could. The best part about the stamina bar was she never felt tired until the bar got to a lower percent. Before this system she would almost instantly feel her energy being depleted from running.
Lavinia would eventually make it home entering the apartment complex quietly walking in and shutting the door behind her moving into the living room of the apartment seeing a boy cuddled up on the couch under a blanket with a light snoring. She sighed a sigh of relief snickering a little at his snoring. She proceeds to pick him up bringing him into his bedroom. This was her little brother who she took care of due to the absence of her parents. Thinking about her situation one more time reality struck as the thought of her workplace being destroyed filled her head she did not have a job anymore..but then again she was awakened now she could become an official licensed player then again even though her stats are higher now slightly does not mean she still would not be E-rank.. Lavinia sighed, moving to her own room she sat on her bed just thinking for a moment. Maybe she should still awaken to get officially registered to do raids on dungeons and get magic stones just to make some money. She laid down after a little bit of thinking, closing her eyes drifting off to sleep.
