Jason walked around the small circle that had appeared on the map. He was searching for clues that would lead him to the goblins hideout. He moved from bush to bush silently and looked for footprints.
He had found several footprints but they were not that of a goblin. If this video game followed the basics of a fantasy world then goblins should be just like how they were depicted in anime, manga's and manhwa's.
It was after quite a while that Jason managed to find a set of footprints and he knew immediately that it belonged to a goblin. Unlike the footprints left by hooves animals and pawed creatures this set of footprints was different.
They were small and close to a human. The footprints were just like that of a small person. Jason smiled as he had taken a step closer to finishing the request. Jason followed the footprints until it turned into two sets of footprints and not before long it turned into three sets of footprints.
Jason moved like an amateur but in his mind he moved like an experienced hunter. Just in time Jason ducked down and hid behind a bush as one of three goblins turned and glanced at were he was hiding.
The goblin was how Jason had expected. It was a short green creature with a set of sharp canines. It had pointy ears but not like elfs, a big bald head and dull eyes. It wore a poorly crafted leather armour and held a wooden club that was nearly the same size as its body.
The goblin grunted and turned to the other two goblins and returned to talking to them. 'That was close.' Jason thought as he held his heart that had skipped a beat. The goblin was ugly and terrifying and Jason did not know what to do as he had never seen anything like it.
He waited some time and recovered before taking a peek from behind the bush and noticed that the goblins were talking to each other and having a conversation just like humans.
He decided to inspect first as knowing ones enemy was the first step to taking it down with a bullet to the head.

Jason felt slightly more at ease after he had inspected the goblin scouts. The strongest one was level 18 while the weakest one was level 12.

Jason waited for a while before slowly creeping to the side. He lined up his shot so that he could shoot two goblins in one go.

5 bullets flew out of the gun chamber within 2 seconds and the goblins did not have a chance to react. The bullets pierced one of the goblins head before moving towards the other goblins head and hitting it.

Jason immediately turned the gun towards the remaining goblin and fired of two bullets.

As soon as all three goblins had turned into green pixels Jason held his heart and let out a heavy breath. That had been nerve wracking for him and was scared for a few seconds when 2 of his bullets did not hit their mark. Luckily 3 of his bullets had hit his target.
Jason bought out a pouch of water and drank it. He then decided to pick up the loot that the goblins had dropped. The loot wasn't that bad for a beginner like him. If he sold them then he could at least make a quick buck.

Jason was discontent with the drops. He had been expecting a bit more but after remembering it was a low grade goblin hunt he felt better.
He collected 13 goblin tooth, 1 goblin poison, 3 sets of leather armour and 3 giant clubs. He wanted to toss aside the armour and clubs but his gamer instinct that told him to not leave any loot behind refused to let go.
Jason headed further on and he met several more goblins which he quickly took care of. He had now taken care of 9 goblins all together.
This was how the quest progress looked

He only needed to take care of 25 more before he finished his quest. It did not seem that hard at all. What could possibly go wrong?
________
A giant hobgoblin with orange skin and tribal tattoos all over his body stared at blood that was splattered on the floor that belonged to one of the goblins that Jason had killed. The corpse was not there as it had disappeared but the blood was. It was a tiny bit that Jason had not even noticed.
It's muscles bulges and it let out a loud roar. Birds took to the sky in an attempt to get away from danger and they did. The hobgoblin sniffed the air and it managed to catch a scent.
"Hoomaan!"
