"Hey, you don't want to pick these coins?!" Shik suddenly exclaimed as Kobi reached the middle of the hall.
"Huh!?" Kobi glanced around and sure enough, there were coins all over the place. "Don't they get collected on their own?!" Kobi glanced at Shik in bewilderment.
"Huh!? Of course not, last time was just a first dungeon visit perk. Now you have to collect on your own." Shik shrugged nonchalantly.
"Oh! What a bummer!" Kobi sighed and moved over, glancing at the coins he asked, "How do I put them in my inventory?"
"Tap on them and say move!"
Kobi nodded his head and grabbed the coins, 'Move!'
The space flucated before the coins disappeared.
"Nice!" Kobi grinned and collected all the coins before turning his head towards the goblin, "Doesn't the goblin drop any coins?!"
"I does, but you have to search it. You can take anything from its body too."
"Oh..." Kobi squinted his eyes and after some murmuring, moved towards the goblin.
He squatted in the puddle of blood and searched its body. As his hand moved over the rack it was covering its important part with, he felt some buldging pocket underneath the rag.
"Seriously!?" Kobi let loose a few curses before untying the rack and seeing a pocket inside it, "This is... too shitty!"
Kobi's eyes involuntarily travelled where they shouldn't have, slowly his peeking turned into out-right staring, "Shit! Too big! This is too big!!"
Kobi moved back a bit in fright, wondering just how could something so short have something so big... "Shitty goblin!" Kobi spat at its face and moved away in strides.
His pride was hurt. No, any human to see it would feel insulted.
"Host... what were you looking at?!" Shik asked, his eyes blinking in surprise.
"I-I... I was comparing!" Kobi raised his chin in pride.
"C-comparing?! Comparing what?!" Shik blinked his eyes in surprise.
"Aw... I was.. Stats! I was comparing stats!" Kobi puffed up his chest even more righteously.
"Then who won!?" Shik asked curiously.
"I-I... You... Humph! Well of course, it was this great master! Even though the competition was hard, I won by just a millimeter!" Kobi pushed back his curly blonde hair arrogantly.
"...Wow!!"
Kobi swiftly turned his head away, not having the guts to meet eye-to-eye with Shik's starry eyes, 'This kid is too pure... he didn't understand.' Kobi felt like somebody just punched him. He was too dirty.
"Hmm!?" Shik tilted his eyes, his eyes blinking innocently.
Kobi sighed and moved into the third floor.
The same hall appeared again, only the inhabitants were different, "Is every hall going to look just like this or what?"
"Yea, this is just a practice dungeon created by the system, every hall is same." Shik nodded his head.
Kobi's eyes squinted, in front of him were five goblins. All level 1, alongside ten slimes.
"These numbers... humph! No worries!" Kobi grinned and raised his palm.
Fire arrows rushed out one after another, this time, he made the goblins, the more difficult ones his priority.
The arrows came one after another and impaled the goblins charging over.
But by the time he killed three of the five, the survivors managed to arrive in front of him.
They both paused near him and screeched, "Is this programed in every last one or what?" Kobi frowned and moved back, he raised his palm towards one, instantly causing it to move back from the pain while screeching.
The other moved lashed at him and flung its claws forward.
"Your're full of openings!" Kobi, using his martial arts training to full advantage, side-stepped and kicked the goblin's knee, causing it to stumble forward and trip with a yelp.
"When did you posses such fine moves!?" Shik asked, his eyes scrutinizing Kobi, "Now that I look carefully, your body is quite tone and fit."
"Huh!? Don't tell me you choose me as your host without having any prior knowledge of me." Kobi jumped back, distancing himself from the goblins.
"Hmm!" Shik nodded his head innocently.
Kobi chuckled while shaking his head, he raised his palm and an arrow shot towards the goblin, impaling its abdomen.
"Kiddo, keep watching this young master! You will surely be blown away!" Kobi grinned cockily.
After dealing with the two goblins. Kobi started snapping his fingers and arrows started rushing out again.
One arrow and one slime went down.
As he was on his fifth slime, Shik suddenly flew in front of him, in the path of the Fire Arrow, "OI!"
Kobi incredulously stared as the arrow by-passed him. "You..."
"Look, look! Your EXP is full, time to level up!" Shik ignored his horrified expression and pointed to the golden bar which was blinking non-stop.
"Lets see what's in store this time!" Kobi grinned and tabbed on the bar. A slot machine appeared in front of him and started flashing various skills. After a while, it stopped on three.
Kobi read the names out loud, "Enhanced Piercing, Arrow+1, Gale Burst!"
Kobi glanced at the second one, the icon showed two arrows flying side-by-side.
Kobi crossed his fingers, "Lets hope this is what I think it is!"
Click!
[Congratulations on level 2!
Dungeon Skill-Rolled added: Arrow+1]
Kobi raised his hand and muttered hopefully, "Attack!"
Two fiery arrows leapt out of the circle abd travelled side-by-side before plunged into a slime.
"Nice! So literally my arrows just doubled, right?!" Kobi snapped his fingers but to his dismay, only one arrow returned.
Shik chuckled dashed his fantasies, "No way, all it means is that now, instead of the previous one, two arrows from your inventory will be used."
"...Huh?" Kobi clicked his tongue and watched pitifully as he murdered the other slimes and started his plundering... from the goblins as well.
After a while, feeling full of himself, and cheeky at the medicare difficulty of the dungeon, he jogged ahead and entered the third floor "Floor 3! Greet your daddy!"
Kobi's words instantly attracted everyone's attention but... 'Huh? Where are my sweet and cute slimes? Where are the noob goblins?'
'Well there were goblins but... with weapons and what's with that Hobgoblin boss? Didn't the difficulty increase a bit too quick?' Kobi gulped. And trying to keep his hopes up, attacked the Hobgoblin at the center, 'Holy moly! What the heck? Where did my op damage go?'
The 9 goblins, wielding dull clubs charged over under the leadership of the hobgoblin almost twice their size.
"This is too much system!" Kobi jumped back in fright.
Two arrows rushed out again and dug into the bloated belly of the hobgoblin.
But..."WHAT THE HECK?! WHY SO LITTLE DAMAGE?!" Kobi screamed like a scared kitty, it was justified though, after all, not even a whole tenth of the hobgoblin's Hp dropped.
"Shit!" Kobi frowned and started brainstorming, "Is the system taking revenge or something?!"
Despite hearing his words, Shik just grinned and moved to a corner to watch the show. He sat on his invisible chair while sipping some coffee that puffed out of thin air.
Kobi, seeing another two arrows dig into the hobgoblin's belly and the latter not even sucking in cold air despite green blood flowing out of it, sweated hard.
Kobi gripped himself together and straightened his posture, in a thunderous voice, he yelled, "HOBGOBLIN!!"
"Ke!?" The hobgoblin suddenly froze in its tracks, following its lead, the other goblins halted together with it.
"Indeed, I am the one who killed your mother!" Kobi's face turned serene as he admitted solemnly.
"Kek?! K-ke!?" The hobgoblin took two steps back in horror.
"NOW!" Kobi's voice clapped like thunder, "Return before I kill your father as well!" Kobi's eyes pierced straight into his eyes, causing him to gulp as his feet retracted timidly.
His throat went parched as a staring contest ensued, silence reigned supreme until, suddenly, a frown appeared on his face.
It... It didn't have a mother... much less a father!
It was created by the system after all, to test Kobi!
The hobgoblin's face turned bright red like a tomato, gritting hia teeth, hd let out a beastly roar, something the goblins understood clearly, "KILL THIS FUCKER!"
The goblins, siked up by the overwhelming power of the Hobgoblin screeched and led by the hobgoblin, charged even more ferociously.
"What the heck are you thinking!?" Shik blurted out, his ladge eerie eyes oddly scrutinizing Kobi.
"HOLY SHIT!" Kobi jumped back, realizing his intimidation plan failed.
He slapped his thigh as the adrenalind suddenly spiked. Letting loose a roar, he charged forward, "HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME!? I WILL KILL YOU AND PISS IN YOUR MOUTH YOU SCUM!!"
Since the monsters were system's creation, they could understand Kobi's, hence, their eyes turned blood-shoot as they started screaming like madman while charging over.
Despite acting like he had lost his mind, Kobi sneakily changed targets and aimed at the normal goblins.
Two arrows whislted through the air and plunged into the abdomen of a goblin, its Hp plummeted to zero in one hit.
'Phew! Thank God these goblins have normal Hp. Unlike that fat freak.' Despite feeling relieved internally. Kobi laughed like a savage outside and taunted the goblins, "HAHAHA! YES, ONE BY ONE ALL OF YOU SHALL BE PREPARED INTO GOOD PISS-HOLDERS! HONOR THIS GLORIOUS CHANCE I PRESENT TO YOU, YOU LOWLY SCUMS!"
"How the heck did things turn out like this?! No!! Where the hell are things heading??" Shik's mouth hung loose as he peeled his eyes to Kobi laughing like a manic, "Is he secretly a psychopath?" Shik hurriedly started praying for his dear life, he knew that he might have to experience turmoils like none before.
Kobi killed two more goblins before he saw the horde about to pounce at him. A grin appeared on his face but he suppressed it back, instead, he roared begrudgingly, "HOW DARE YOU CORNER ME!? NOW, LOOK AS I BESTOW MY PEE ON THESE SCUMS WHO I KILLED, THIS IS YOUR FATE AS WELL!!"
Kobi's wronged voice shell-shocked the goblins.
Did he have no shame? Even normal goblins at least did it in bushes, now... would he just do it in front of them? And... in a battlefield at that????
Kobi roared while shifting his palm to face another goblin, two arrows immediately dug inside its chest, ending its rage and life.
Seizing the gap between the goblins, Kobi hurriedly rushed through their formation and started running towards the door in front.
The goblins froze again. Wasn't he arrogant!? Didn't he have to pee!? Where did his pee go!?
"Don't be mistaken, I will collect it in a bag up ahead and then distribute it to you all equally, I am a fair man." Kobi turned around his head and nodded seriously, all the while killing two more goblins.
The heck!? Fair!? He!?
Kobi suddenly paused, seeing all the goblins stare at him strangely.
Scratching his hair sheepishly, he said with a hint of shyness, "Umm... sorry but I am a human after all, I'm afraid I won't be able to pee into each of you, so I decided to first collect it in a bag and then distribute it. I don't like to treat others wrongly. It will pain me if I fail to honor the last wishes you have so desperately begged me for." Kobi smiled earnestly and flashed his bright teeth, looking like a good child awaiting praise.
In the mean time, with one of his hands, he kept snapping his fingers and wifh the other, he kept shooting arrows after arrows.
By the time he was done talking and the goblins were finished listening... only the Hobgoblin remained.
