Chapter 5 – Eating
I am currently hiding in the grass. This place is near the goblin prairie entrance.
A little way ahead of me, I saw a goblin sitting cross-legged and yawning.
The height of this small monster is around my waistline. Its skin is green and it's wearing tattered clothes which seem to be stolen from humans.
The enemy relaxes its guard, not noticing me. Although I am watching the surrounding area, there are no signs of its brethren.
I hold my breath and sneak behind the goblin.
And then I used [Appraisal] skill.
・Goblin Fighter・ Level 3
Endurance: 30
Physical Strength: 40
Magic: 10
Spirit: 10
Agility: 30
Skill: Physical Strength enhancement (Small)
Goblin Fighter, huh? ….Apparently, there are several types of these guys.
Its status is lower than me.
I also checked its skills.
Physical Strength enhancement (Small) : When executing a physical attack, a small bonus will be added.
A skill for status correction? There's probably (Small), (Medium), and (Large) versions.
These kind of useful skills, I want to gain them quickly.
The goblin got drowsy and then fell asleep.
This is a heaven-sent chance!
I dash out from the grassy area, closing in on the goblin at once.
It seems to have noticed my footsteps and tried to turn around, but it's already too late.
Aiming at the neck, I swing the black sword Greed, slicing off the goblin's head with a single arc of my sword.
The goblin died without being able to resist or letting a out a voice.
Then I heard an incomanic voice in my head.
[Gluttony skill activated]
[Endurance 30, Physical Strength 40, Magic 10, Spirit 10, Agility 30 has been added]
[Physical Strength enhancement (Small) has been added]
Alright! To confirm it, I checked myself using .
・Fate Graphite・ Level 1
Endurance: 151
Physical Strength: 191
Magic: 111
Spirit: 111
Agility: 161
Skill: Gluttony, Appraisal, Concealment, One-handed Sword mastery, Physical Strength enhancement (Small).
It increased, it increased! Yeah, I'm getting stronger.
While I was celebrating my status and skills joyously, Greed laughed scornfully.
[For just a goblin, you're way too happy. If you get that happy whenever you defeat one of them, we will be here until sunset.]
[Spare me, I'm just happy that I can defeat a monster for the first time]
Certainly, if I was a warrior I wouldn't be as excited. However, I'm just a normal human who has had lived being frightened of monsters until yesterday. There is a sense of freedom when our positions have reversed. (TL Note: From the hunted to the hunter)
As evidence that I have defeated the Goblin, I cut off both its green ears. The Kingdom gives rewards to those who have subjugated monsters, so if you bring the proof to the established facility, you can exchange it for money.
It should be 10 coppers for a goblin. It’s better than the daily wages of the gatekeeper job that I was doing before. The warrior job may be dangerous, but it's better at earning money.
I throw the goblin’s ears into the hemp bag that I had prepared in advance.
