Jason reloaded his hand gun. He had killed 32 goblins and had leveled up 9 times since he started. He had reached level 15 and he felt so much better seeing his level rise up. The small ding sound that notified him of his level up filled him with euphoria.
He picked up the drops left by the goblins and some of them even dropped coins. So far he had collected 20 copper coins and he was more than happy with it. If he completed the request he would be paid 300 copper and also be paid 200 copper by the system. This 20 copper was just chump change but he still clung onto it, after all even a single copper coin was money and he did not have the luxury of not taking it as he needed it. 'The rich get richer.' Jason told himself as he chuckled.
Jason had 15 unused skill points. He decided to use them as anything could happen. He decided to use it on his most useful passive skill. Auto aim.

Jason's eyes filled with joy as he read the screen in front of him. Things were starting to look up for him, not that he had been having bad luck for a while. Matter of fact he had only had good luck for the last month. He had managed to reach level 15 within the two days since he had left the tutorial zone.
"I'll save these stat points for later on in case something happens I can use it to take my opponent by surprise." Jason left the stat points untouched.
He decided to go and look for to more goblins so that he could finish the request. Jason managed to find one more goblin. However unlike the other goblins this goblin was different. It was slightly taller than the others and reached heights of nearly 5 foot. Considering the fact that most of the goblins he had been facing were 4 foot tall it was surprising. It was more built than the other goblins and had more muscle mass. It wore a decent set of metal armour and wielded a spear.
Jason loaded his gun and shot three times. It was a good thing that Jason had upgraded his auto aim skill otherwise he could have missed and put the goblin on high alert and result in a physical confrontation.
All three bullets hit the goblin dead in the forehead. A small ding entered Jason's ear.

It was a good drop and Jason was going to be making bank today. Just as Jason was wondering on how he should spend his money he heard a loud roar. Jason turned and saw an 8 foot tall bipedal muscular creature charging at him.
Jason froze instantly as he had not been expecting this. Even if he was expecting it, it was taken away by the fact that he was scared. If anyone encountered a lion, tiger or grizzly bear their body would freeze for a few seconds before their fight or flight instincts kicked in.
Jason turned and ran as fast as his feet could carry him. He had long legs and was pretty fast but the hobgoblin still charged at him. With every step it got closer.
Jason stumbled on a root and tripped. He fell down and fell down a small steep hill. He rolled over and over and his vision was covered by the status.

Finally Jason came to a stop and he glanced up at the small hill he had just fallen from. There stood an orange gigantic muscular hobgoblin with orange skin.
It had two tusks coming out of its mouth and it was glaring menacingly at Jason. Jason avoided eye contact with it, turned and ran away.
He took a glance at his health.

It had gone down by nearly a third but it was alright as his health was already starting to regenerate. He gained 1 hp every single second.
Jason heard a loud roar and then a loud boom. He turned to see that the hobgoblin had jumped down the small steep hill.
Jason's heart was beating rapidly and he decided it was now a good time to use his unused stat points.

'What should I put my stat points in?' Jason asked himself. He quickly turned and used Inspect on the hobgoblin.
_________
Hobgoblin chief
level:45
Hp:1,700
Mp: 200

"Level 45!" Jason shouted in shock. What was with this drastic change in levels all of a sudden? The goblins he had been fighting had not surpassed the 22 level. But now this giant hobgoblin showed up and he was 20 levels above the average goblin.
"I shall live to fight another day!" Jason said as he added 15 of his stat points into speed and felt a great boost in speed. His speed increased by three fold and he created a giant distance between him and the hobgoblin chief. The gap only grew larger with time and soon Jason had run so far that the Hobgoblin chief was not even in his sight.
Jason slowed down and took a deep breath and drank some water. The adrenaline that was coursing through his body had fizzled out and now he was feeling the normal pain that he was supposed to feel. The pain of cramps in his chest and stomach that came from running at fast speeds.
Jason sat down under the shade of tree and rested.
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
Immediately as soon as he did he heard a loud crashing sound. He turned to see what it was and was surprised when he saw the hobgoblin that he had just outrun crashing through trees. It moved away the trees and charged at Jason. Jason quickly climbed a tree which the hobgoblin slammed into. It uprooted the tree with Jason on it and Jason jumped of the tree.
The hobgoblin swung the tree at Jason and Jason barely dodged but the hobgoblin was not finished.
It brought back the tree and swung again. Jason laid down on the floor and felt the air above him vibrate from the swing of the hobgoblin. The hobgoblin raised the tree above his head and brought it crashing down. Luckily Jason had seen it and had moved out of the way.
He brought his gun and shot three times at the hobgoblin.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The three bullets hit the hobgoblin in the chest but it did not seem affected. To the hobgoblin it was a merely a wound less than a paper cut.
<<98 damage inflicted>>
<<101 damage inflicted>>
<<77 damage inflicted>>
Jason unloaded the entire clip into the chest of the hobgoblin and he done damage worth 577. The hobgoblin was affected a bit but it did not stop swinging the tree. Jason turned tail and ran however the hobgoblin would not allow it. It threw the tree at Jason and he dodged however the hobgoblin wasn't planning on hitting Jason. He only wanted to block his path of escape to which he successfully did.
Jason turned and saw a giant fist heading straight for him. He dodged to the side and rolled but with each roll the hobgoblin grew even more faster.
Jason had managed to reload his gun. He had been doing so since he had ran out of bullets. He had experience doing so as he had spent an entire month loading, reloading, disassembling and assembling his gun.
He shot 12 times. 8 of the bullets hit the hobgoblin in the face and the remaining four hit him in the chest. The damage he had done was worth 956. The hobgoblin had a hp of 1700 and should have died however it did not. Just as the final few bullets almost hit it, it entered an enraged state.
It's body size decreased and it's muscles became more lean. It's two tusks disappeared and two large bones grew out of its fist like wolverine.
"Fuck!" Jason whispered. It was at this moment that he knew that he fucked up.
