Greg sleeping on the table soundly, he woke up but he was only half-asleep so he could not move except his eyes.
It was quiet, too quiet it's as if the world did not change at all.
That's what Greg thought. He heard a huge grunt then he immediately jumped back but failed, he was still weak from waking up so he fell down from the chair instead.
Greg looked up to only see a hobgoblin.
"Aren't you sly?" Greg stood up but he was dizzy.
The hobgoblin took a defensive stance.
Greg took a good look on the hobgoblin in front of him.
It was different from the last hobgoblin he encountered before.
This hobgoblin is more bulkier and is using a wooden club.
As Greg tried to take out his knife from his pocket. The hobgoblin noticed immediately then rushed to Greg.
"Well aren't you smart!?" Greg took a step back then kicked the chair towards the hobgoblin
The hobgoblin did not falter when the chair hits it's knees.
Greg could not escape because the hobgoblin is blocking the hole he made with the
"I was too careless, should have covered the hole." Greg took out his
The hobgoblin rushed again but this time it threw a very aggressive swing.
Greg jumped from the opposite direction where the hobgoblin swung and swiftly went to its back.
"You guys are still the same after all!" Greg plunged with his knife towards the hobgoblin's nape.
"RA!" the hobgoblin took a quick turn and swung downwards.
"?!" Greg tried to dodge by stepping back but the attack from the hobgoblin connected to Greg's Left hand.
Luckily, with
"It's still painful but it's manageable!" Greg reached out his hand.
Greg heard loud grunts from the hobgoblin as he stared onto it.
the hobgoblin is swinging randomly as it's eyes were closed.
the hobgoblin swung the floor too hard that the dust went towards it's eyes and filled the whole room with dust.
"Dust." Greg went outside the house and reached out his hand once again.
"Fireball." Greg said in his mind.
A flaming ball came out of his hand and flew towards the hobgoblin.
Before even the fire ball connects to the hobgoblin, it made a spark and exploded the whole room.
"Glad I did not cleaned the house.. I would have died from that monster's destructive power.."
Greg fell down on his knees and panted.
Everything happened fast as he was not able to catch a breath.
INT +1
"Again? Out of all the people in the world there's no one can kill a single monster yet? What's happening?" Greg looking concerned.
After a split second as Greg said that a huge explosion was heard from far away.
"Was that from the city?" Greg climbed up to the house to see what's happening on the city.
Before Greg even climbed to the roof what he saw was terrifying. It was expected that no one was able to kill a single monster. Greg could not breath from the fear he feel.
What Greg see was a giant eyeball as it was shooting laser like beams out of its pupil. It was far away as it is on the city but looking at it was still terrifying.
"What in abomination is that?!" Greg quickly fell down and took a deep breath.
"An eyeball that shoots laser. I don't quite understand but I know for sure it's a force to be reckon with." Greg said that as he was shivering from fear.
"Calm down.. Calm down.. Inhale.. exhale.." Greg doing his best to calm himself.
After 5 minutes, he was finally calmed down.
"That was terrifying.." Greg then walked towards the hobgoblin's corpse.

Just a wooden club.

"So I can only kill monsters to activate the Soul Harvester Skill hm.."
Greg sat down then scratched his head.
"These two accessories are great. INT really does increase my actual intelligence but I lack power as well." Greg still scratching head.
"I guess I'll take this." Greg picked
he then equipped the necklace.
"Hopefully I might be able to overpower some hobgoblins with these now." Greg then walked out of the house then ran away from the opposite direction of the giant eyeball.
20 minutes later.
"Will that guy found us here?" The boy from before said.
"I doubt he will, I bet he went to the city!" the girl said.
The teenagers are named.
Balm, Jane, Mirabelle and Henrietta
The boy is called Balm and the girl who ran away first previously is Mirabelle.
"I feel bad for Luis.." Henrietta said.
"You don't have to. It was pretty stupid of him to go against a guy who really did kill someone! I bet he's dead by now!" Mirabelle chuckled.
"It really is not funny when you badmouth a dead person, Mirabelle." Jane glared at Mirabelle.
"We had no choice but to run. We would have died there. I still guilty leaving Luis behind." Balm looked as he was eating their snack.
As they finished having a snack, they heard a sound of something rolling.
"Wh-What was that?" Mirabelle said as she is looking around.
"A-AH!!!!" Jane shrieked earsplittingly.
"What is it, Jane?!" Balm went towards Jane as he tapped her shoulder.
"L-Look!!" Jane held on Balm and she pointed at something.
"What?" Balm looking confused he then looked to the direction where Jane is pointing at.
"Guys.. Come here.." Balm said it in a very nervous tone.
"What is it?" said Mirabelle and Henrietta synchronously.
The both of them screamed.
What they saw was.
A head of Luis, a friend they left behind.
"I-Is he come to haunt us?.." Jane clings tightly on Balm.
A loud yet slow clap and a laugh was heard behind them.
"Hahahaha!"
All four of them looked back.
Their expression changed to nervous to fear.
All of them except Balm fell down.
The person who was laughing and clapping was Greg.
"You see.. I really wanted to let you guys go but, It would be troublesome if someone see or know me right?" said Greg as he was polishing his knife with a cloth from Luis' clothing.
"Sp-Spare us please! We're too young to die!" Mirabelle said as her tears were flowing like waterfall.
"It is indeed inevitable to leave your friend for your own life but, I am too paranoid if you guys will tell others about me so, regret meeting me." Greg instantly beheaded Mirabelle.
"N-No.. No!" The two girls were terrified of the sight Greg displayed. It's as if they're in a horror movie.
"Spare us please--" Before Balm could even finish his sentence his head went flying.
"What.." Bodyless Balm said.
"Spare us please! we'll do anything! We can be your property if you want!" Jane and Henrietta said as they cling into Greg.
"It's a great offer." Greg smiled.
Henrietta and Jane smiled in relief.
"Y-yes.." Henrietta said.
"But not for me!" Greg beheads Jane.
"N-No! Please! I don't wanna die!" Henrietta stood up and ran away as fast as she can.
"Nah uh" Greg threw his knife towards Henrietta.
The knife went through Henrietta's heart and she died instantly.
A tab appears.

another tab appears.
"5%? That's a lot."
"Anyway, the city is too troublesome now.."

"Ooooh it feels great." Greg swings the dagger around.

"Alright, I have to get going before that disgusting eye ball gets here." Greg then walks to the opposite direction from the city."
