I still did the training Jigoku taught me, but I decided to explore the forest. I need to get stronger, save my family, and figure out where this world's story is going.
Training with the draxes has been a unique experience, nothing I couldn't get used to, the weight, it reminded me of when I used my gravity style in my past world. So I decided to practice it.
I already did my warm ups with Jigokus training, so body functions were in top conditions, now it was time to start to train.
"Remember the feeling, no gravity. Float Aka, float." I was in a handstand, shifting my central gravity towards my hands.
"SWITCH!" I yelled, my center of gravity switched to my chest area. I pushed myself off the ground simultaneously and I started to fly in the air... for 2 seconds.
But in those two seconds, I could see everything, the vast area, lush trees and animals flying, the calls of the wild reached my ears. The mountains the the background, reminding me of Jigoku's massive display of power.
"One day..." I said, then suddenly-
[You have learned (Gravity Style) rank 1★ - 5★! Current rank is 1★]
"The fu-
BANG!
I fell face down to the ground.
"Ow, that hurts." I picked myself off the ground.
"Gravity style is a skill? Thats cool I guess." It was more a pain in the ass, having a black screen pop out of nowhere can scare the shit out of someone, in this case, me.
I need to level up, unlocking the inventory will prove useful, I might just keep Eriven's dagger's locked up in there though, cause I'll never us them... I don't care what you say.
"BuT It'S aN ItEm FrOm A Go-
Shut up
Why don't you die and participate in the Fight After Death, then you can play with those daggers.
Looking to the left, I paused and stared at my opponent.
Just like any isekai, RPG, novel, etc. my very first opponent was a goblin.
Yes, a globin.
Do you even need me to describe its features?
I mean it was a fucking goblin.
-Keaua (Kill me already, my existence is meaningless, I want to die)!
...and it sounded like a goblin too!
Lifting my draxes I used gravity style, and threw the draxe at the goblin, I shifted my central gravity to the draxe I threw to enhance its speed, and boom!
-Slice!
-Khuuuuaak!
Before the goblin could even have enough time to react, the draxe sliced its head of, which resulted in the goblin lifelessly slumping on the ground.
'How sharp'
I thought as I admired the draxe.
It felt exactly how someone would feel when cutting a block of butter. Smooth with little to no resistance. Also it reminded me of my wife, she always loved to listen to this korean boy band called DTS, for some reason, they looked just like anime characters and I questioned if my wife was cheating on me for a poster with a hot man on it. But she reassured that this wasn't true, and as time passed, I started to like them as well.
"Smooth like butter, like a criminal under cover, gonna..."
-POP
Another goblins head exploded
"Like trouble, breaking into your head like that. Was that how the song went? I don't care."
-Khuek!
-Khuek!
-Khuek!
How cute.
A horde of about 20 or more goblins were madly running with blood-red eyes towards my direction.
"Well then... cool shade, stunner, yeah, I owe it all to my brother..."
...
[LEVEL UP!]
"Ooo! Nice!" I said in my head, getting stronger was the main goal, so I was happy.
[You have gained 5 stat points]
"Put them all into wrath. Status."

Stats raise as I replicate that action, or just by completing quests, I already completed the sloth quest, so I didn't have any quests at the moment.
Another problem was with [Parting Disaster] the art itself was a problem.
You see, whenever I sliced a goblins head or limb, it would disappear into thin air, leaving nothing to be seen. Meaning, I had no drops.
I mean, I wouldn't be picking up goblin ears or eyes for collecting, but in the future, I might need to for a quest. In conclusion, this art was only for murdering. If anything I sliced disappeared, then its going to be a disaster, for the opponent and me too! I have no drops. Think the of a situation where I need to cut of a tooth, but when I do, it disappeared, AHHAHA!
I need another soul art...
Thats a problem for another day (not really)!
"Level 5 it is then!" I picked myself up, ready to fight more suicide mon- I mean goblins!
-Khuek!
-Khuek!
-Khuek!
These things are endless aren't they. They are just fodder in this world.
Not my problem!
