Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

*Tap*

I am sad to say I actually thought about killing Goblin, but when I turned to him he was so proud of me, after a while of him giving me some sort of goblin version of 'the talk' he started to try to drag the four halves of wolves back

With all the stat points in strength I picked up the wolve's bodies. Goblin's excited chittering made me feel embarrassed about

We got back to camp, and he took out a big wok and grabbed one of the half of the wolves bodies, he showed me how to gut them, skin them, and clean out the insides. He showed me where to chop, what to pull out, and what went where in the cave.

Then, magic!

Goblin used fire magic! Wow I knew magic was real when this started but seeing it is so different, I'm afraid but it's so good! My leg is shaking from the adrenalin.. Wow!

He began to melt some fat in his big wok before throwing in slices of the wolf meat I chopped and used on, he saw my surprise at his fire magic and had a smug look on his goblin face.

I've made lots of food in my life, and in my foods and nutrition class I do pretty good, but I've never really felt like I enjoyed the art of cooking till now. Magic. That's crazy!

After a while Goblin finished the meat and we ate together, sadly it was.. It wasn't bad it just wasn't good. But I guess that's what happens without spices readily avaliable.

I've never been this tired I don't think...

"Goodnight."

[Achievement Unlocked! ]

I wake up to see Goblin is up with more meat cooked

"Thanks Goblin"

Goblin paused, raised his right brow and turned to me looking me straight in the eyes.

"You speak Lithina?"

Holy smokes this is unnerving, I'm in Spanish II but I never really feel like I understand it, just like I remember what the words mean, it was as though its my first language and it smoothly came into mind.

"Woah! I can understand you!?"

This must be thanks to that achievement Goblin looked very, very surprised.

"Goblin! Can you teach me fire magic?"

"Actually, yes, I have a basic fire magic skill book, it isn't uncommon."

He started to rummage through a satchel before pulling out a crimson book and handing it to me.

[Do you wish to consume skill book?]

"Yes"

[Gained New Skill ]

"Did you just.. What did you do to that book I gave you?"

"Uh..."

Goblin looked at me like I was a young son in one of those sitcoms at the end of the show ready to move out and make a living.

"Nevermind, I am sure it is an important secret, be on your way young adventurer."

I didnt really plan on leaving so soon but Im also pretty sure it'd be better for my level If I went immediately.

I went on, perhaps this is what all life is like in this weird cave place.

Plus, If I just don't say goodbye, It won't feel like I'm leaving my first and only friend in this world. I will definitely regret not talking with him more but I can't find anymore excuses not to get stronger.

I raise my open palm and take one deep breath

"Flame!"

*Fshh*

Consider these pants, pissed.

I wake up to realize I didnt turn my right hand off and it is still blasting at the wall of the cave

I quickly put my left hand on my crotch

"Clean!"

I love magic.

I'm not turning my right hand off till my magic runs out, I figured that I had none but now I definitely don't think so, I don't wanna jinx anything but I might have.. Hm.

[ Leveled Up!!!]

I could feel the magic turning inside me, I began writing my name on the wall of the cave in cursive while continuing my merry way.

Another wolf, though my footsteps are practically silent now, the fire shooting out from my hand is pretty loud

[ Leveled Up!!!]

He turns to me and starts growling immediately, despite seeing the flames shooting out of my hand he leaps in to attack me, I kick him into the side of the cave and try to jimmy my sword out with my left hand for a split second before deactivating my right hand and just pulling it out, I begin shooting flames with my left hand instead, though I make sure not to hit the wolf, cause these xp points should go into;

"Dice!!!"

[ Leveled Up!!!]

[You Leveled Up!!!]

My flame magic will level up without killing monsters as long as I gain proficiency, or it's just by using it. But I don't needa use it yet

Because I am not a balanced person right now I have the strength of someone of a higher level, though I can always balance later for now this is the best for getting levels.

I put the points into agility, I'm jogging through the cave now now, using on any wolves, I don't know how anything could really live in such a long cave, the only source of light is some weird stones on the wall, I have about 20 of those in a satchel that I'll use at night.

I'll use the points from the next two levels on agility as well and save the rest until I come across something that takes more than 4 dices to kill.

Speed, I am speed. When I find the outside Ima climb a tree, and see how high I can jump. This is amazing.

"Dice!"

"Dice!"

"Dice!"

Light! I see light and a bend in the cave, this is definitely the exit. I go around the bend and see it, it's a forest, I thought maybe I was deep underground but I was in a mountain, I run over to a tree and punch it.

Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch. I shoulda figured these trees would be super trees gosh dangit.

I gotta go find a village and get a hot elf chick companion if Ima be the mc.

Its hot out here, why is this shady forest so hot?

[ Leveled Up!!!]

Shit. Fuck. I lit so many trees on fire already.

"Deactivate Flame!"

I stop the flame from flowing out of my hand

I start sprinting, I'm so fast, I love this. Unfortunately I ran into a tree, and broke my nose. The fire is also incredibly fast, maybe cause it's magic? Can't waste time thinking.

I hop back up to my feet and break into a sprint.
