'When I said it was the doomsday today, I didn't mean it..! Why do you have to take it so far..?!'
I asked the unknown Gods again, and being the mysterious one he is, I didn't get any replies. Not like I was expecting one.
Instead of getting anxious, let's analyze the situation with calm mind.
"..."
' Like hell that would work..!!
Who would have thought that the myth of truck-kun was true..! It sounds amazing if it is in fiction, not in real life!
And wasn't I supposed to be reincarnated as some Heavenly genius who appears only once a millennium, then I would fight the demon king of this world and by some cliche setting the princess of the kingdom would fall for me.. and at last I would create my own harem with jade like beauties and Swan like junior sisters?..
Huh?..
Then why? '
I look at my green hands again and then at my lower body which is completely natural green, and looking at the ground combined with the parallel gaze of the blood thirsty wolf opposite to me, I can deduce my current height.
And if you play video games all day plus read a lot of fantasy novels, you won't need to ask yourself a second time what it means.
'No.., this isn't the time for thinking something like that' shaking my head, I put those disturbing thoughts in the back of my head.
By now even a kid can guess my situation. It's a MvM (monster versus monster) between goblin vs wolf, and sadly the goblin is on the losing ground which is a bad sign for me.
As I have experienced death a few moments ago, not so sure about it though, I can't let myself die again. I have to somehow defeat this wolf and find the slime who became a Demon Lord.
' That time I got reincarnated as a Goblin, then?'
Taking my internal monologue as a sign of giving up on running away the wolf starts approaching me slowly.
' Think fast..! I have lost an arm, so I am at a disadvantage clearly and as the wolf seems to be wary of me, the previous owner of the body must have put quite a fight. But that's it.
The fact that I have changed places with him won't add any physical strength to the body.... But.. let's try this '
" Status "
and a half transparent blue colored window was in front of me.. 'Just like I thought '

____________________________________________
Skipping the details about name and Bloodline which wouldn't help much right now....my eyes land on the skill section , the active skills to be specific.
'Free hand combat?.. Sorry but i am missing a hand right now..! and the other is Club mastery?'
I search around quickly and none! ' why this guy has club mastery when he doesn't even carry one..!'
GRRR..
'No choice then'
He's approaching faster now.. good! As if to put an act of last struggle I too fasten my steps towards the big guy.
I can see it clearly now, those huge fangs which were used to rip apart my arm. Saliva with a mix of red dripping from his mouth and those sharp claws.
No one sane would like to approach him , not a weak goblin like me at deathbed, I am sure of it.
When close enough, he jumps over me preparing to dig his sharp fangs in my face, insta-killing me. Already expecting that action , I slide over the ground and grabs the closest thing with my still intact arm.
Now I am directly below him as he covers me with his body and suppresses me with one of his claws.
Sure of his victory, he bends his neck and brings his open mouth closer to my neck, ready to rip it apart.
But he won't get the chance..! Swiftly swinging my arm I used the thing which is being held by my intact arm, to seal his mouth.. that's my fallen arm.!!
Angered by my action, he tightens his hold over my body, digging his claw in my chest. I can see the blood coming out from there, but now is now the time to be concerned about that.
By blocking his mouth which is his biggest weapon I have got myself a few seconds to think and decide to change the tides.
When fighting opponents stronger than you, first thing you have to do is, make him unable to use his strongest trump card as long as possible.
And after that comes attacking his weakness!!!
No matter who, as far as I know everyone has a general weakness, given he's not insanely strong.
Freeing my hand, and putting all my strength in the muscles of my arm, I attack his weakness, his eyes!.. by poking two fingers powered by my arm muscles, deep inside.
AWUUU..
and sure enough it worked as he loosens his claw over my chest and tries to subside the pain from his now bleeding eyes.. But i won't give him the chance.. because this is the best and last opportunity I have got to fight back!!
Throwing aside my feeling of disgust as what I am about to do from my human part of mind... I latch over his neck tightly and.. bites him in the windpipe!!
AAWUU.. AWUU..
He starts shaking his body wildy trying to throw me off, but as if my life depended on it, literally is, I tighten my hold and put strength in my jaw as much as I can..
He violently shakes his body down which results in me getting hit hard and sure enough I hear my bones cracking.. but i can't give up now..
[ BEAST EYES UNLOCKED-DURATION : 3 SEC]
Ignoring the sudden message from the system.. I put the last of will in tearing his windpipe apart , unknown to me my eyes get a tinge of yellow and i feel power rising inside my body.. not caring for the source of the new power, I shift all that power in biting as hard i can.. and just after that I hear that..the sound of bones cracking and blood vessels rupturing..
AWUU..
Convinced that his end is near, the wolf puts his last resort too.. doing the same to me, and digs his fang in my neck or so he tries when I shift my weight, evading the insta-kill.. and it ends up biting my shoulder with the intact arm..
'So you want the other one too now?!'
But my fears didn't come true as his body loses all strength caused by the severe blood loss from his carotid artery and fucking broken windpipe!!!
He falls down on the ground lifeless like he is with me still on his top and my mouth still taking hold of his neck..
After confirming that the fight is over, I open my mouth and pull back my body and lays on the ground next to him..
' It hurts!! '
Now that the adrenaline rush is gone, all the accumulated pain rushes to my brain and makes me unconscious..which is another defence mechanism of the body to prevent death..
...
.....
[ You have killed a level 8 direwolf]
[Exp +82 : 650 >= 732]
[ You have leveled up : Lvl 6 >= 7]
[ System Points : +5 ]
[You have learned a new skill: Stabbing (Lvl 1)]
[You got a new skill : Pain resistance (lvl 1)]
"...."
The first thing I see after opening my eyes are some floating windows showing me different messages.
" I killed a Level 8 wolf when I was level 6 , and all I get is 82 exp?.. Is it maybe broken?"
Not satisfied with the rewards I got after such a life and death fight, I get into a bad mood.
" And leveling up doesn't even recover my body..That's how it's supposed to work, right? You goddamn System!! "
looking at my still detached arm lying on the ground I pour all my curses at the system.
' At least the bleeding has slowed down, else i don't know what would have happened'
Relieved that I won't be dying of blood loss after getting out of such a fight, I observe things around myself since I haven't still looked at the surroundings properly.
What comes in my sight is a forest not so far from my location covering the place from two sides..To my back all I see is some rocky area and a cliff which I don't want to visit right now.. Turning to the left I see a stream of water which is unexpectedly passing somewhere from the cliff..
'Good'
What I want right now is food and water..now that the water issue is solved..
"Now that I don't know anything about the forest, it's better to prepare before entering inside.. For now let's rest here properly and recover slowly.. as for the food".. the dead wolf comes into my sight.
" Well, I always wanted to eat wolf meat!!"
