Giselle and Shirley is getting worried that Paul is not back yet. They think that something must have happened to Paul.

"Sis, Why is my brother not back yet....Did something happened to him?.."

Giselle is worried and don't know what to say to Paul's sister since she also don't know what happened to him...

"Don't.....worry, I'm sure he's okay...."

Giselle worried that they might never see Paul again because how many goblins chased after him earlier also she think that the worse case scenario that Paul is low level and can't fight all 38 goblins.

"Let's find your brother, Okay...."

She has no choice but to come up a solution and will try to him with his sister. Shirley agreed to find his brother.

"Ok..." Shirley Replied.

Both of them make a move and try to find Paul's whereabouts. While they are trying to find Paul, Giselle curiously checked Shirley if she had a Player System, however, she was suprise that she saw a Player System in Shirley.

However, she have no class and she have only a ability of a average person. Giselle though that all people in this world has a system, even ordinary people.

While both of them were searching for Paul, Paul is laying down, unconscious in the back of the big apartment that is a dead end and where he fought the Hobgoblin.

After a while ,Paul woke up, after hearing sounds of explosive and players who are fighting the goblin army.

"Uhgg, *Cough*...*Cough*" Paul still can't walk after a intense fight with the Hobgoblin. The Players who were fighting the Boss of the Dungeon "The Goblin King" failed as the battlefield get tougher.

Some of the players retreat because of how impossible to retake back the city, so they abandoned the mission and retreat for good.

"Let's Retreat" The Class S Player who is a top 50 and the leader of the mission to retake the Flexible City is the one who ordered the retreat.

Paul saw how the players retreated and abandoned the people who are still at the city and surviving in hope of rescue from the player.

".....So the players are abandoning us...."

He can slowly walk and take a look at the battle as he saw the all players retreated and leave the City.

"....Hmmm so....They lost the battle and this city is now belong to the goblin..."

Paul down and recovering from his injuries in order to go back in the market and reunited with his sister and Giselle and escape together.

"Dang it....I'll take 2 or 5 days to recover...I have to move and find them, I think they'll get worried because I been gone for hours."

Paul is forcing his last stamina to walk and get to Giselle and his sister but he can't as he fall always down when he walk because of his many severe injuries that he got from fighting the Hobgoblin.

"If a goblin spotted me, I'll get killed easily since I don't have a strength to fight and a stamina to run."

Paul also realize that he can't use magic for a short amount of a time because he use all his mana in the fight and he need more hours to use it his magic again.

"What a luck....I can't use any magic for a short amount of time since I lost many Mana."

It became a misfortune for him as the worse case is that happened is that he doesn't have the strength to fight because his injuries are bad and if a group of goblins spotted him,They will kill him easily and he can't run from them.

Paul lie down on the ground and looked at the moon that it's already midnight.

"It's midnight...*cough*..*cough* I might worried my sister...if I don't comeback and besides even if I die... she's in good hands.

Paul checked his profile systemonce and see if his mana is full and if he can use it again.

"It's strange.....I'm a Mage but why is my strength is higher than my magic...."

It's felt strange to Paul that his class is like a mage but he realized that his class it's not a ordinary class because he never heard his class before.

"Hmmm....I wish there's info in my class since I don't know what it is....Tactician Mage.... that's strange class."

It's unknown what his class really is and he have no information in his class but he realized there's no strange coincidence or strange in his class, there's no more strange things in this world since it's different now.

"Why I am surprised about my class... anything can be a class now since world that we lived is now like fantasy...."

Paul don't know what to do since he's been laying on ground a while and it's seem that he realized that Giselle and his sister is finding him now.

"I'm pretty sure they are finding me now... Just a gut feeling..."

However, Paul's luck has become misfortune after a group of goblins that is patrolling around the city is near as he hearing their footsteps and what's even worse for him that he's still hurt and can't fight.

"What a luck that I have..."

Paul stay quiet while hiding in the Dumpster at back of the building, Paul forec his body to move so he can go at the Dumpsterand his injuries are starting to feel hurt again as he can't handle the pain from his injuries any longer in a worse case scenario since he force his body to move and hide in the dumpster.

"Argghh....My injuries starting to hurt."

Paul looked and he saw the goblins acting strange, those goblins sniffing the area like they can feel a present of blood. One of the goblins stared at the dumpster which made Paul feel nervous.

"Hugh....One of them saw me...I can't fight or outrun them in my situation...this is a disaster.."

The goblin that stared at the dumpster walk. Paul begin hear their voice more louder than earlier means they are getting closer.

"KiKiii!!!"

Paul can't think a plan because if he confront the goblins with his injuries, he will die, As the situation he can't use his skills because of his low magic mana.

He doesn't have a weapon since his weapon broke that he stole from the goblin he killed as he only use his fist since he learned that the goblin's skull is not hard as a human being from his skill "Eye of Tactician Mage".

The Goblins are unware that Paul is in the dumpster since the goblins are only smart when setting traps and sorrounding their enemy.

"KiKiKiii!"

"KiKiKiii!"

The goblins are talking to each other, their language is different from a human Paul can't understand what they're saying and but he hope that they don't suspected the dumpster where he was hiding.

"It's over for me if they go here, I hope that they won't go in here" Paul said with a low voice.

Paul decided to look again and it look like the goblins are about to leave. When they are about leaving, Paul accidentally stepped a can in the dumpster that made a noice, the goblins heard it and turn around.

Paul covered his mouth with his hand as the goblins are going to the dumpster where they heard the noice. He counted earlier how many of them are and there are 8 goblins. Paul know he cannot fight right now with his situation, but if a worst case scenario that he have fight them whebhe have no choice in a duo or time situation.

"I can't fight nor use my magic skills because I ran out magic mana in this situation Aughh... I need to check how many minutes left to use my magic skills."

"Open, System Magic Mana !!"

The SMM is a system that can check your magic mana if it's ready to use and it can tell what time when your magic mana is full again. The Players who are using a magic spell or have a class like a mage are the only ones who have it.

Paul was surprised that's it's a long time before he can his magic skills, He can't fight cause of his injuries and can't use his magic skills cause of how he use all of his magic Mana when fighting the Hobgoblin. He is in danger, while Paul is hiding and the goblins are still not leaving. Giselle and Shirley are finding him while avoiding the goblins.

Shirley is getting worried for his brother as it's been 4 hours since they began finding him without a information on where Paul's location.

When they take a break at a small abandoned store Giselle knew that Shirley is getting so worried and it might worse if she saw Paul dead as she might not handle the pain and might traumatized her for the rest of her life. Giselle tried to comfort her from her fear.

"Don't be afraid, Shirley, Your brother won't die that easily...out of all people I ever met, he is the Smartest person I ever met...."

Shirley started to cry while Giselle comforting her as she will not handle the pain of losing her only family, she thinks that she will be alone if her brother died.

"I just can't.....lose my brother..*sobbed*..*sobbed* I just can't lose my only family left..."

Giselle knew that Shirley is going through a rough time even comforting her won't help that's why she made a promise.

"We're going to find him alive...I promise..."

Giselle hug her and try to comfort her as she is also worried where Paul is now as she knew that Shirley becoming even more worried and afraid. While both of them are resting down.

Paul was discovered by the 8 goblins in the dumpster and he's in a critical situation, he is still hurt and has no offensive magic skill r a offensive skill to use.

Ha..Haa..Ha...*Cough*...looks... like I'm in a dangerous situation...
