Kacper POV
I walked forward for many hours until the two suns reached midday and before me stood a solitary crumbling giant. An overgrown building straight from Earth, the building shaped like a U its left side a gaping wound where the rubble pours out. The wooden doors long since broken and left on the ground to rot. Smashed windows and broken glass found everywhere, with parts of the second-floor roof caved in. I step into the abandoned building and try to find my way around to the gym. The gym is a wide-open room with much of the floor covered with rubble. I turn to my left and smile my guess was correct there is a storage room, but it is locked. A quick kick of frustration, I turn around and head to the hallway looking for the headteachers room. After a good five minutes of walking through the silent corridors, I finally see the door and that’s where I hear scratching and crashing of boxes.
“Fuck, what could that be?” I quickly move to the door as quietly as possible, I peer around the corner and spot a strange little creature. A green creature standing and looking through the cabinets. It wears a furry cloak and has a weird wooden mask. Its spindly hands move quickly and with purpose. I look inside the room the floor covered with folders and paper, with a desk and chairs in the corner. The corner looks like a little house where I think the goblin lives, next to its house is a staff about 2 meters long. “Maybe its magical.” I whisper as I turn back, I see the goblin staring at me, with its weird tiki mask with two big yellow eyes similar to cats. The mask has red hand on the mask and yellow lines surrounding the red hand.
“Hi?”
The goblin speaks extremely quickly “You speak the voice of the Tall Men. Are you the from across the sea?”
“No, sorry I fell from the sky.” I frown and ask, “Are you a goblin and if you are why are you not trying to kill me?” The goblin scratches its bald head and that’s when I notice his ear looks like it was bitten off.

The goblin looks at me shaking its head “I learned a time ago that fighting for no reason is bad. Yes, I am a goblin. Are you want to kill me? If you kill me can you tell me first how you fell out of the sky”
I shake my head “No, I won’t kill you if you don’t attack me. I fell out of the sky as I am one of the player in some of the gods game.” The goblin seems to look at me with curiosity.
“Its always trouble when gods meddle with us.” The goblin sighs looks down to his feet and says “You may stay, but be careful other tribes would kill you if they find you.” He turns around and goes back to sorting the papers. I step into the room quietly saying thanks and start looking for the keys. The goblin gives me a curious look but otherwise ignores me.
I finally find the keys after looking through the desk, I turn around and head to the gym I am finally able to open the dam room. The doors open and I smile as light shines into the room. Just like I thought a baseball bat and rugby armour. I grabbed the baseball bat and put on shoulder pads, knee pads and a rugby helmet. Smiling I headed to the workshop I spotted along the way. The workshop is dirty but surprisingly not too badly destroyed. It takes some time, but I am able to find some nails. “Thank God my past self-had some woodworking skill” I start working slowly and decisively. In a moment of stupidity, I smash my thumb with the hammer.

"Intresting, actually maybe I should ask the goblin, if he can teach me about the classes." A smile spreads across my face. I return to my project.
