It was only 10:00 AM on this beautiful morning. Not many people would think that the scenery was beautiful, because all they could see were the apocalyptic building with shattered windows and vines running through every wall, and the only sounds they could hear were from the zombie groans.

But never the less, Hunter thought it was beautiful.

'I always dreamed of my life having more of a meaning some day, and this seems to be my calling. Here, I don't have to worry about money and the materialistic items anymore. There are only two goals to this world. One, surviving. Two, becoming stronger.'

Hunter truly was fascinated by the turn of events of the world. You would think that most people would either be frightened, nervous, or even angry at the change to this world, but Hunter wasn't one of them.

After dawdling around for a bit, Hunter went to go pick up all the mysterious red stones and combine them with his other one. Nothing happened again, even after adding over twenty stones.

Michaela watched Hunter kill all the zombies relentlessly and seemed to be a bit jealous. She also wanted to become powerful, but didn't want to take any of Hunter's kills.

Hunter was friendly with Michaela, but she never asked him to become powerful. He thought that she only wanted to be in his protection. Hunter was fine with protecting her for now, but that couldn't be the case for ever. Protecting a Lv. 0 noob for the rest of his life was a heavy burden to carry.

After collecting all the stones and allocating his stat points, Hunter now decided to challenge his greatest threat at the moment.

The hobgoblin.

None of the goblins were daring to come out in the last day, because of their two friends that were missing. The goblins believed that the kobolds killed their friends for fun.

This proved one of Hunter's theory. That the goblins were scared of the kobolds and the kobolds had more power than he originally thought.

There was only one major difficulty in attacking the goblins. His skill 'Encase.'

The one drawback of the skill was that if the foe didn't have a shadow, the skill wouldn't work. Inside the gas station was almost all dark, unless you were by the windows.

Hunter had to figure out a way to lure the goblins out. Luckily for Hunter, the goblins aren't very intelligent.

Hunter came up with a plan and was set to put it in action. He remembered he still had his wire to make a trap and was going to put it to good use now.

After another hour of setting up his plan of action, he decided it was time to act.

The goblins were all standing around their leader, the hobgoblin in order to protect him. While they were standing still they heard a loud screaming sound from outside.

"Hey fuckers! I know you hear me! Hulk is calling and says you stole his look! No that can't be right... you guys may be green but you have Pinocchio's nose."

Hunter was the one screaming at the goblins. He was standing about 15 meters from the door while he had his sister and Michaela hide behind a car on the road.

The goblins all heard the screaming and were immediately enraged. All the underling goblins were about to run after their new enemy, but then the hobgoblin spoke in their distinctive language and had stopped them.

Hunter noticed this and decided to bring things up a notch.

"Hey mister Hobgoblin! I heard the kobolds bully the goblins because their leader is dickless. It must be hard not being able to procure children in this age of declining birth rates." Hunter trolled the hobgoblin more and more.

The hobgoblin was now furious. He couldn't believe that he was being trolled with false accusations. Even his goblin underling looked up at him, curious of what the man outside said was true.

The hobgoblin denied the accusations to the goblins and sent them all outside to intervene with the man. The hobgoblin followed them to the doorway but then stopped.

The three goblins rushed towards Hunter with plenty of speed raising up their spears as if they were going to toss them like a javelin.

One of the goblins threw their spear at Hunter. Because Hunter's dexterity was so high, his reflexes were increased and was able to catch the incoming spear with his right hand.

The other two goblin didn't want to release their only weapons, so they lowered them to stab at Hunter.

Hunter just stayed in the same spot this whole time seemingly waiting for something. Once the two of the goblins that were seeking to stab their trolling enemy were about five meters away, they stepped in a snare trap.

Each of the goblins legs flew in the air as they were dangling from their feet. They were both so shocked by the new development, that they didn't see that their trolling foe was already in front of them preparing to strike them down.

Hunter quickly stabbed both of them in between the eyes and prepared to slash down the last remaining goblin.

Hunter didn't use his 'Ensnare' skill because he didn't want to reveal his trump card. If the Hobgoblin saw him use the skill, he would of never left the gas station.

The last remaining goblin realized that this enemy was not one to be underestimated. He quickly got in a defensive position to prepare for an attack from Hunter.

Hunter wasn't to hasty to attack quite yet, but then something unexpected had happened.

"You damn human dare to defy us monsters. I must thank you for coming to me first. Your soul will be a tasty snack to help me regain my strength."

The hobgoblin spoke the human language suddenly. Hunter was shocked by the turn of events and many questions flooded his mind.

The next moment shocked Hunter even more. The hobgoblin let out a loud roar that pierced everyone's ears.
