IDBIRR Chapter 6: Items.
I submerge through the ground below the goblins and kept a following distance between them. Hey, if this were only a game-- Wouldn't my ability be broken? It's like that cheat code called "Noclip" from Left 4 Dead?
I become invincible through walls and also pass through them. It's like being in an invincible god mode state, but infinite uses.
This is what you call a cheat-like ability in isekai worlds, right? Is it okay for a starting monster like me to gain such an OP (overpowered) starting ability???
Imagine if all golem were like me in this world. That would be frightening world to imagine.
The goblins took a break from wandering. This was the golden time to start a hunt.
It's time.
Strategy comes first before engaging an enemy. Evaluating the enemies' strengths and weaknesses is one of the most important steps to success either.
My enemies count up to four Goblins. Three goblins with Lvl.3, and one goblin with Lvl.4. They're very strong and well equipped with armor that's enough to protect their critical parts of the body. I remember the Goblin scout from earlier, he wasn't as well equipped as this main group, but he definitely dealt proper damage to my body.
I don't want to underestimate my enemies, but I still have an overwhelming feeling of a dominant result out of this hunt.
If I were overconfident enough, I'd say they never were prey to begin with, but "Victims" of an experiment instead.
Am I being too cheeky?
Anyways, being confident in what I do is also an essential part in "hunting". My opponents are equipped with armors, a shield and a dagger or a club. Their leader, the Lvl.4 Goblin wields the dagger.
I guess he doesn't go for heavy blows unlike the other members of his group?
The leader stands up and left to find somewhere else to do some business. Most likely to pee. So I followed it's trail and turn to a corner.
There it was. Vulnerable to surprise attacks.
Since my head is pointy, I should probably use it as a weapon for now. Finding the right angle to launch myself forward, I try to harness the power of [Body Bullet] and limit it's strength to it's utmost lowest performance. Enough to allow me to pierce through my enemy without creating any sonic booms like before.
If I create a sonic boom, I'd obviously alert the other goblins and make them call for reinforcement from any nearby Goblin bases.
Any call for help is enough to reach through many ears inside this area of the Labyrinth. The Green Zone. It's so deathly quiet that it might be awarded as the most quiet place in this world.
An echo or two is enough to function as a transmitter for calls in this place.
I creeped out of ground and stuck out the point of my head, pointing at the direction of the goblin's neck.
*Pshoo!*
Goblin: "Gkk--!?"
I passed through it's neck with swift manner. It was so smooth that the goblin only realized I passed through his neck after I appeared before the wall infront of him that I had clung into to prevent myself from falling and slamming my body into it.
Green blood has painted my Body green.
My expression was still as I watch the Goblin hopelessly try to reach for my as I grab the wall. Looking down at the filth that it had made as it quietly passed away. Then it shattered.
[[You have succesfully got rid of their Group Leader.]]
Hmm, yes...that it is so.
Why is it that I feel no need to express myself while witnessing a gruesome murder that I had just commited?
[[Why do you need to express something when you commit a sin?]]
That is...
I just remembered that humans tend to express themselves emotionally with whichever kind of actions they commit. So I just thought...
[[What is it..?]]
No...it's nothing. I am still human...right?
[[I do not understand, Angus, what you are trying to imply?]]
I returned to the floor and then underground. Phasing through the earth and returning to the Goblins' resting area.
I have already surmised the Goblins' strengths. There was no need for me to become over cautious. I am already what's needed to deal with their kind.
I haven't realized yet at the time that this was all happening, but my mouth grinned so devilishly that it would certainly strike fear into hearts of my enemies.
I maximized the strength output for [Body Bullet] without my realization. I went below one of the goblins who were laying at the ground and bursted through it's stomach from the back.
It was a complete annihilation of it's body. It's guts and blood flew everywhere. My speed created a sonic boom that damaged the other nearby goblins. I heard that a loud enough sound can inflict damage to any nearby person, and that's what just happened.
Everyone died instantly.
Their bodies shattering into a million light fragments as everything was absorbed inside of me.
Gosh, [Body Bullet] is way too dangerous. That's actually a surprise!
[[Congratulations, you have gained 150 EXP]]

( 0_0)!?
"{Earth King's Forgotten Blade (Legendary)} x1"
( °□°)?!?!?!?
A-...WHAT?!
A LEGENDARY ITEM?! FOR REAL?!
[[For real.]]
Administrator confirms. I can't-...wait is this because of my "Lck"?
[[Yes, of course it is.]]
[[Due to your insanely high stats for Lck, your drop gain and drop quality is also affected by this with drastic results.]]
[[A Lck stat that exceeds the 500 pts mark, usually drops a very rare Equipment that also considers (Legend) peak tier Equipment through random chances.]]
[[Like Gacha, but with guaranteed success instead of shit chances.]]
[[Although it on occurs "Once" every century of an Individual's lifespan.]]
[[The Effect of Lck Stat is highly valuable for long-lived monsters like Mythical Entities such as the "The One Who Walks".]]
[[Yet, you do not have to worry about such lowly trivial matters. Angus. You are a golem of endless lifespan, time is of no significant importance to one such as you.]]
[[Wounds, aging, mortal weaknesses. You do not possess such dire traits of weakness.]]
[[It is proof of your strength to gain the convenient use of high stats for Lck.]]
[[Would that be all to quench your curiosity?]]
Yes, that was...surprisingly quick of you to notice. Thank you very much.
[[Then I shall excuse myself for the meantime. I am pleased to be of help to you as always. I bid you farewell.]]
I nod to myself. Greatful of having my Admin's help whenever I please. I observe the Sword that was made out of stone. It looked like it emerged from the mess of the Goblins' leftovers.
It undeniably looks very strong. I wonder what it's Stats could be. Let's take a look shall we?
[Earth King's Forgotten Blade (Legendary)]
Earth King's Forgotten Blade - It used to belong to a Tyrant King. This is the blade forged through countless years of ancient True Magics. It's previous owner, ************, designed this Blade so that it could crumble mountains, flatten steel, and break pure natural diamonds. A Weapon of Death and Mass Destruction. It was once used as a Blade to govern and strike fear into the hearts of men. Fortunately, the previous owner fell to the power of strong individuals called "Heroes". And as soon as the Tyrant King lay in his deathbed, so did his striking signature Weapon, as both were forgotten in days of old. Only to be forgotten by the later generations of peace.
[Weapon Stats]
Durability: "Indestructible"
Dmg: 1
C.Dmg: 1
Mgc.Dmg: 1
[Weapon Skills]
[Mark]
Mark - Marks you as it's new wielder. This weapon cannot be equipped by anyone else except for you. If anyone else dare to steal this weapon from you to make it their own with any malicious intent, they will be cursed and PETRIFIED forever. Mark will be disabled once the new wielder has suffered CERTAIN Death. Can be recalled if lost or discarded.
I finished reading it...it's pretty...Meh? Eh, like, mehh...you know?
How is this even a Legendary item...it looks useless based on it's Stats and Skills. Who'd even want to steal it with that kinda low end abilities?
For now, should I just put it inside of my Inventory?
While it does look useless, it's not completely useless. Since it can't be destroyed, maybe I could use it as a shield against Big Boss's attacks? He does deal Def Ignoring attacks. And that's scary.
Administrator, how do I put items inside of my inventory?
[[Quite simple.]]
[[All you need to do is choose an item of your choice.]]
I gathered up all the drops I got.
[[Once you do. Open your Inventory and put the item in your hand and let it touch the Panel.]]
I did everything as she instructed and put the items inside my invetory with ease. Ah, this is really convenient.
[[Your inventory is limitless. There is no need for you to be concerned about storage limit.]]
[[Please use it to satisfy your needs of it.]]
[[Would that be all?]]
Yes, I am very satisfied for your help. Thank you, again.
[[It is what I must do. It is only natural as per my duty as your Administrator.]]
Everything was quiet once again.
I stare at the Forgotten Blade inside my inventory....Yep, pretty useless. For now atleast.
It's too big for me to hold. I wouldn't even be able to swing it around. Hug it, that's the best I could do. Like I said before, it might be only good for a defensive shield for now.
With that done for now. I try to wander on my own, looking for more monsters to hunt. I'm close to leveling up. I might do an all-nighter and hunt till tomorrow morning comes.
Looking at the map, there are a lot of Goblin territory near the Green Zone border. I think that would suffice for now and until the next day of my hunt.
I hope I do well starting now. Onwards, to my new life ahead of me.
