Since its past noon and the sun is about to set, I refill my stock of food and water.I dispose of the body of goblin.Then, I fill my stomach and quench my thirst, then goes to sleep.

The time flew by quickly and a week has passed.
Athans continued his training and became even more stronger by raising his stats.He grew more familiar with the spear and hunted some stray goblins time to time that stumbled upon its cave.
He also levelled upto Level 4.
On the second day, he encountered a Level 15 Goblin.The fight was difficult and he sustained many injuries during the fight, but thanks to [Perfect Healing], he does not lose momentum and gained the upper hand, winning the fight.
He also practiced with the Extra Skill [Parallel Mind] and now he can handle it for 2 minutes until exhaustion hits him.
There were some things which he couldn't made progress with. He couldn't find how to use or inteprete the Unique Skill [All Elemental Affinity] nor could he use his mana to use elemental magic because of lack of knowledge.But it didn't affect him, instead it motivated him to learn new things.

"My stats have grown well, but nowadays training isn't that effective anymore.Seems like I have to seriously starts levelling up."
I also have found some traces of goblins near the river.If I follow them, I might find their settlement.But even a dog is more dangerous in its own territory so I have to made plan.
I follow the traces along the river and easily finds the settlement.I climb a tree and hides behind the leaves to observe it.
The settlement is surrounded by a fence and there are huts made of straws and wood. In the middle, there is a hut twice as size of others.Most likely, their leader resids there.There are goblins acting like guards there.They are also strong and around Level 20.They also have weapons made of iron.
There are also guards at the entrance of the settlement but they are only around Level 14. All other goblins are weak, only around Level 5 or 6.
After observing for some more, I return to the cave.
"There are more goblins than I thought there would be.I have to think of a strategy if I want to level up be killing them."
I began to think of a strategy and thought of the huts made of straw and wood.
'I think I can take advantage of that.' I exit out of the cave and find a plant.
< Harpuk Plant
Description : A plant which commonly
grows near oil reserves and rich mana. The
oil acquired from it will burn if injected with
enough mana.>
I find this plant after acquiring the [Inspect] skill. It will be very helpful in the subjugation of the goblin settlement.
I collected the leaves of Harpuk plant and some branches.I also tore some clothes from the goblins I hunted in this past week and enter the cave.
I organise all the things I have collected in front of me.First, I crush the leaves and rub them on the clothes I tore from the goblin. This way the cloth pieces are soaked in oil. Then I wrap them around the branch.A torch is completed.I repeated the process and made some more torches.
In the past week I also created some knives using stones, so I also ready them by sharpening them.
I then rest for the rest of the day to preserve my strength and be in my top condition.I plan to subjugate the settlement in the middle of the night discreetly when many of them are sleeping and their guards down.
Since I can see in the dark just fine I don't have to worry about lack of light.

The sun sets and the night come.The moon shines in the night sky showing its brilliance.
I walk through the forest, amidst the chirping of insects, an ominous feeling spreads throughout the forest, like it will swallow you up.
I shake my head and clears my mind of the negative feeling. In little more than half an hour, I arrive at the settlement.I quitely approaches the two guards which are half asleep unaware of the danger they will be facing.
I carefully get behind one of them, covers its mouth with my hand and slits its throat with my knife.It cannot even make a sound and dies without knowing anything.
I ignore the system messages and killed the other goblin.
I take out the torches and injected mana into them.They began to burn and I toss then on the huts one by one.
They catch fire quickly and collapses onto themselves burying and burning the goblin in them.
The goblin began to die one by one and I level up once. There are also some who don't die by the fire so I personally end their lives.By doing so I level up one more time becoming Level 7.
I move stealthily and reaps the lives of goblins.I enjoy the feeling of becoming stronger and desire for more.I kill the goblin one by one and only after some time all of them died.After killing all the weak ones I point my focus on the stronger ones.' Now the goblin guards.'
