In a small clearing, in the middle of a forest, some light began to gather and form a human. This human was none other than Blazing_Sun_King. The first thing he sees upon coming to his senses is a system notification.

"Killing the Goblin King HA, easy. Goblins are weaklings that only take one hit to kill." he said arrogantly to himself
'From what I was told I'll have only basic gear.' he thought as he checked his status.

"Tsk, to think my stats would look this pathetic, and my skill cards are really gone if it were anyone else they would be panicking right now"
'They could have at least left me my weapons.' as he was complaining to himself a racket came from behind him.
He quickly turned and saw three goblins emerge from behind some trees and then stopped dead in their tracks to stare at him.
As they were doing that he quickly checked their levels.
{Level: 20 [F]} {Level: 15 [F]} {Level: 18[F]}
"Sigh nothing but weaklings." he said as he readied his weapon and shield.
After a moment of hesitation, they charged at him with their weapons drawn.
"GAAAA" ZAAAAA" CGAaaaaak" The three yelled as they charged at him.
The one closest to him carried a shortsword and was the first to die from a single hit that took its head clean off.
The second had a knife and had to get much closer to attack but was intimidated by its companions' death and hesitated for a moment resulting in its quick death only seconds later.
The third had no weapon so it was gonna look for an opportunity to hit its opponent with a big rick it found on the ground.
but by the time it found a good-sized rock the other two were already dead, shocked, scared, and confused by the intimidating human that killed its brothers so easily it decided to run.
However, the human had other plans and stabbed it in the back of its head killing it instantly.
"Well, that was boring. I thought it would be more difficult without my skill cards then again what would you expect from trash mobs."
Suddenly the goblin's bodies began to disappear. 'So they disappear just like dungeon monsters' he thought to himself when he noticed them disappearing into dim light particles.
Looking around he noticed it was getting dark out.
'Should I look for a safe place to rest.' he thought to himself but decided against it.
'No if I take too long other players might get their class advancements first.' he decided as he walked into the forest.
…
..
.
Half an hour after Leaving the area in search of the goblin king he found a small camp of 20 or so goblins and after checking their levels he decided that they were all F-rank weaklings and entered the camp without hesitation.
Not one for subtlety he ran in and slashed the closest goblin before it had any time to react to the sudden invasion he also managed to kill three more in the process leaving only 16 left.
After the fourth goblin died the others began to scramble for their weapons making a lot of noises in the process as they were yelling.
"Gak" "Jagk" "Ogo" "Kazoa" all they were shouting incoherent sounds that one can only assume to be the goblin's language.
As they were doing that, Blazing_Sun_King continued his attack, not giving them time to get ready for battle.
He cut them down one after another, quickly reducing their numbers to only 6; they managed to get their weapons ready and charged at him in a rage for what he's done to their brothers.
Still, on his rampage, he easily took down the charging goblins as they were only F-rank and low-level mobs that barely gave any EXP.
And as he was about to kill the last one that tripped as it was charging at him he got an idea.
'What if I let this one live and follow it back to its base.' he thought as he held his sword to its neck.
'From what I know about goblins is that when there's a King there's usually a Goblin village where it hides.' he thought with an evil smile on his face as he kicked the goblin on the ground to encourage it to run home.
The goblin in its fear seeing an opportunity to run, it got up and ran as fast as its short legs would carry it.
…
..
.
And just like he thought after following the goblin for about an hour it ran toward what looked like a Village. The wall was made of wood and looked like it would collapse at any moment.
The goblin he let live yelled as it entered the gate and a few moments later some more goblins came out.
As he approached the gate he couldn't help but sigh
"Sigh, is this all I have to do here to wipe out weaklings?" He said as he rushed the gate killing any goblin that stood in his way.
'even without skill cards goblins are still trash mobs that die with a single hit.' He thought as he entered what looked like an open courtyard near the front gate.
The goblins that he didn't kill were behind him and some that didn't get outside yet were In front of him.
looking around all he can see are weak F-rank goblins. In annoyance, he yells. "GOBLIN KING GET OUT HERE I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR TO FIGHT WEAKLINGS. I'VE ALREADY WASTED ENOUGH TIME IN THAT ANYONE FOREST."
His yelling only agitated the goblins causing them all to attack at once.
However, this was insane as these were just F-Rank low-level goblins; they stood no chance against a Level 30 player even if he didn't have his skill cards and equipment.
After mowing down 30 or so weak goblins they started to bake off a bit.
"HAHAHA IS THAT ALL YOU WEAK ASS GOBLIN TRASH HAVE TO OFFER AT THIS RATE I MIGHT DIE OF BOREDOM BEFORE I FIND THE GOBLIN KING." He declared arrogantly
Then from the crowd of goblins, a slightly taller and beefier-looking goblin walks out from behind the crowd. Unlike the other goblins that only used random makeshift weapons and wore almost no armor.
This one was wearing full leather armor and had a large hammer. The other goblins started cheering well if you can call their screaming sounds cheering.
it looked at him with a murderous look in its eyes and raised its hammers and charged at him its weapon glowing with power as It activates one of its skills.
*MURDEROUS SMASH*
as the new goblin showed up he looked at it with analysis and found out its level and rank.
{Goblin level 20 [E]}
with a smile on his face, he says "so you finally show yourself goblin king" as he says that he charges at the new goblin with his sword held high and yells. "Great Cleve '' trying to use one of his skill cards.
As soon as their weapons clashed he realized that his skill didn't activate.
'Shit I forgot I don't have my skills right now.' He thought as he did his best to deflect the blow away from his chest and barely managed to do so. but the attack hit the ground next to them and he was thrown back by the goblin's skill and landed on a goblin that was in his path killing it.
"gek gek gek" the goblins laugh at him for falling.
"gah! how dare a mere goblin like you humiliate me like this." He said as he got up looking at the goblin that was now laughing at him.
looking at the goblin he had no choice but to take this fight seriously.
'I can't believe I need to take this seriously even though you're just a goblin' He thought In annoyance as he took the basic sword stance he learned during the basic training at the start of the game.
However, his form was off because he never used this stance in a fight before, usually relying on his skill cards.
bringing his sword down he charges at the beefy goblin again this time taking the difference in skill into account.
The beefy goblin intern holds his hammer to his left and waits for the human to get closer.
as soon as the tip of his sword passes the hammer he trusts it forward In hopes of hiring its head
As the goblin's head was about to get hit, the goblin used another skill.
*RISING BASH*
swinging its hammer up the goblin parries the sword knocking it out of his hands and leaving the human open for an attack.
*GOBLINS MIGHTY KICK*
In that instance, it used another skill and kicked the human with all its might knocking him back and the wind out of him.
"GEKKAKAKKAKK" the beefy goblin laughed at the pathetic human again.
'dame I didn't expect that.' He thought as he was recovering from the kick.
'That thing took half my health with just two attacks. I guess a goblin king isn't to be underestimated.'
as the goblins were still laughing at him they didn't notice him quietly getting up with his shield in hand.
'thus is my chance to kill that bastard!'
He then quickly ran towards the laughing goblin startling it. He saw that as an opportunity to attack and jabbed the edge of the shield into the goblin's throat, knocking it back onto its back.
With it prone, he got on top of it and slammed his shield repeatedly into its head in rage yelling the name of the skill he couldn't use.
"SHIELD BASH!" twack* "SHIELD BASH!" twack* "SHIELD BASH!" twack*"SHIELD BASH!" twack*
"SHIELD BASH!" twack*"SHIELD BASH!" twack*"SHIELD BASH!" twack*
"DIE twack* YOU twack* PIECE twack* OF twack* SHIT." He shouted in desperation as the goblin was trying its best to get him off of it with its arms flailing and hitting him in the body; however, these attacks are not strong enough to make him budge.
Even though the goblin is stronger than normal most of its strength comes from its skills and it only has those three.
twack* twack* "gasp." A few minutes passed and the goblin finally stopped moving exhausted. He sat there to catch his breath and to check his health.
"Ha ha I did it I won." he said to himself basking in his hard-fought victory.
'Wait a second why didn't the system competition notification show up.' he thought as he looked for it in the notification log.
After searching for it for a few seconds he hears the goblins start laughing again but it isn't coming from the weaklings.
From the group of goblins, many beefy goblins that appeared from the back.
"No.. how are there so many?" 'Goblins kings?' he thought to himself as he noticed a person with green skin standing in the back with an evil and sadistic smile on his face.
Once he saw that person he used inspection on him while wondering what a human was doing there.
{Goblin King Kazak. Level 30 [D] with two skulls on the end}
'What.' he thought in shock.
To Blazing_Sun_King's horror, the goblin he was desperately fighting wasn't the Goblin King but just a normal higher ranked goblin.
The reason for his mistake is that he's still in the beginner zone and the only monsters that are higher ranked are dungeon bosses and the Sabertooth Beavers in Green Sea Forest but those only go up to E Rank and who would expect a monster above that in the first Advancement Test.
The approaching Beefy goblins with their sinister smiles and the maniacal laughter of the Goblin King could be heard all around him as his test was coming to an end.
"Tha - That's just not fair.' he thought in despair.
