Amil tilted his embedded nails forward making the bird wince in pain and change its direction to downwards. Amil had to put all his strength to not fall from the back.
The bird had come dangerously close to the ground making him feel he will collide any moment. Quickly, tilting his nails inwardly, he made the bird land on the ground safely. Getting down, he saw drops of blood dripping from the bird's fur.

Amil didn't give it time as he went back up and pierced the neck with his nails.
[ EXP +63, +1 Intelligence, +1 dexterity]
[ Stealth skill found, acquire it?]
"Hm…that's why I couldn't sense it. Urghh…where the fuck am I?" He accepted the skill and looked around.
"I can't feel any pressure, so not in a higher-level area. Let's move backward."
Amil moved to the forest's entrance. But to his disappointment, his village was nowhere to be found. He went to his left finding nothing but plain areas, then to his right.
"What the actual fuck…?" Amil saw another village similar to his but the creatures in it were different. He had seen them for the first time but couldn't help but mutter.
"Goblins…"
'But why? How far am I from home?! There wasn't any goblin tribe near our tribe?' He started panicking, his breathing all bad.
After some while, he started getting composed. With a calm mind, he looked at the situation again.
'Let's leave the problem of the home, this is a good chance for me to grow.'
Amil activated the stealth skill, it was at level 1 but better than nothing. After getting a little close, he could finally inspect.

Goblin
Level 3
HP-60/60

'Good...first one and a low level.'
He climbed a tree stealthily and first looked for any flying beasts due to his newly found trauma.
Approximately 50 goblins were moving everywhere like flies in the tribe. His eyes fell on the bigger ones and couldn't help but inspect them.
--
Hobgoblin
Level 5
HP-90/90
--
Its height reached 7 feet but the body was very skinny. They looked disgusting with a crooked nose and yellow teeth. Well…. Amil's teeth were also yellow.
'Fucking weak race, evolving at level 5? But woah, the health is good.'
'This just means it will be easy to differentiate now.'
Amil waited for someone to get inside the forest, and he got lucky seeing a level 5 hobgoblin entering the forest."
'Lucky' Amil snickered and waited for it to go deeper in the forest.
After a while, when he felt it was time. He pounced on it first bringing his cracked sword out.
The hobgoblin didn't even realize someone was attacking and kept walking until the sword pierced its heart. He looked back with a mouth full of blood and found a kobold.
"KHKHHRRGAA!"
"I don't understand. You bitch!" Amil retracted the sword and looked at the weak ass hobgoblin's life leaving its body.
[EXP +54, +1 Mana, +1 dexterity]
"Ha-ha, I might as well go in and have a bloodbath"
Amil thought but retracted it as he hadn't seen their leader till now, for all he knows, it could be level 7 or even higher.
Amil searched the body to find something good, he didn't even see a space ring on it.
Digging a hole in a hurry, Amil just threw the corpse in it to leave fewer traces. Activating the skill again, he sprinted back for observation.
That day, he killed 3 goblins and 1 more hobgoblin before night fell.
"Fucking uncomfortable" He complained trying to sleep on a broad branch.
In the morning, He went to see any sign of their leader but couldn't find it. The goblins didn't even care that 5 of their members were missing.
Meanwhile, Kamil told everyone that Amil was strong enough to protect himself, so they didn't even check on him thinking he was still around.
Zach was fighting with all his might with a monkey, having broken bones was like next to normal thing for him now.
Fluffy was tackling a boar to death but ended up mating with it.
Pumpkin was greedily eating another snake's corpse. He had become some type of overlord for the level 1 area.
Amil felt like it was high time, killing only small fries had made him bored and he had more important matters to attend to.
"Fuck it," he said and stealthily entered the tribe. There were around 45 goblins inside the tribe if Amil's counting was good. Everything seemed in control other than the leader variable.
'1 minute left till stealth deactivates' He reassured himself and activated iron nails.
A goblin was moving with a pickaxe in his hand. Suddenly the world went spinning for him, his head decapitated flying with a little consciousness left.
[EXP +20]
'Tsk, no stats'
He went to another then another and another, the small fries were dying every second as the area was very congested.
[ EXP +42]
[EXP +20]
[EXP +10]
The notifications kept flooding in, Amil not caring just went on killing everything in sight.
Screams could be heard resounding everywhere, all of them walking on the corpses of their brethren just to get a chance to be alive.
In 30 seconds, Amil had killed 30 low levels, either it being hobgoblins or goblins, it didn't matter. But the easiness vanished when he heard a roar.
"GHAAAAAHHH!!"
Amil looked at the origin of the roar and saw a hobgoblin of the same height, just the muscles on its body were very toned. It looked at Amil with nothing but pure bloodlust.
Amil didn't realize it, but his mindset had changed into a kobold's days ago.

Hobgoblin
Level 8
HP-140/140

"WO-HOO SOEMTHING GOOD!" Amil became excited just from seeing the level. He pounced on the leader instantly, killing anything in between.
They collided with their fists and loud sounds started resounding.
Amil was in a zone, he used sword, nails, and even fists to defeat the hobgoblin.
After 30 minutes, the hobgoblin started huffing in exhaustion.
"How the fuck are you level 8 and so weak?!"
Amil didn't wait and pushed the nails deep inside its neck killing it on the spot.
[EXP +60, +1 Intelligence, +1 Stamina]
Amil looked around seeing many goblins running away. He went to each and everyone that he could get and killed them.
After a while, the fight was over, he had got 300 EXP from all the killing. From his calculations, around 15 goblins ran away.
"Let's see what they got," Amil said with a grin and went into the leader's hut.
He frowned as there was nothing but a table in the room, he went to the stairs going underground seeing many types of ores in it.
"Why would a leader have ores rather than treasures?"
--
Copper ore
Non-Elemental
The lowest grade of metal found on the planet. It is used to make weapons that can be used by creatures below level 3.
--
Amil frowned but took as much as he could. He left the leader's hut and went to the one adjacent to it.
He entered and froze, about 15 small goblin children were looking at him with teary eyes, and some even fell unconscious.
Looking at them, his mind became blank. The only question he had in his mind was.
"Why did I attack the goblins even when they were not enemies?"
He started pondering things until realization hit him. Ores? Low levels?
'This was a mining tribe, there were never any fighting goblins here…..." He thought as his mind went blank. Whenever he looked at those children, his heart pained.
The human side of him was still alive, he went out of the hut and saw all the corpses. Tears started coming out of his eyes. Today, for the first time....he had killed innocents.
