Two weeks had passed since Roland began his preparations for the battles to come. During this time, he dedicated every spare moment to training, strengthening his body, and honing his skills as a hunter.
Each morning, Roland rose before dawn, embarking on a rigorous routine of physical exercises. He ran through the woods, leaping over fallen tree trunks and forging through rivers. He needed to be fast and agile to face the enemies that lay ahead.
After a brief rest to catch his breath, Roland moved on to the next phase of his training. He focused on perfecting his combat techniques, executing sword strikes with increasing precision. He practiced parries, evasions, and counters, envisioning each movement as if facing a real opponent.
The days went by, punctuated by relentless hunts for the groups of goblins that seemed to multiply in the region. These frequent skirmishes provided Roland with valuable opportunities to apply his newfound skills. He fought with renewed ferocity, seeking to surpass each adversary and eliminate every threat.
As the days turned into weeks, Roland felt his skills sharpen. His reflexes improved, his movements became more fluid, and his confidence grew. He could anticipate the goblins' attacks, foil their traps, and exploit their weaknesses.
Finally, after two intense weeks of training and fierce battles, Roland reached level 5. His perseverance and determination had paid off, allowing him to gain power and experience.
Roland decided to assess his progress by examining his status screen. He summoned his player interface and saw the following information:

Goblin Fear: Normal goblins are intimidated and less likely to engage in direct combat with Roland.
Goblin Weakness Exploitation: Roland has developed a keen understanding of goblin weaknesses, allowing him to exploit them more effectively in battle.
Enhanced Goblin Detection: Roland's senses have become attuned to detecting goblin presence, making it easier for him to track and locate their hideouts.
Note: Roland has earned the title of Goblin Slayer through his relentless hunting of goblin groups. This title grants him various advantages when dealing with goblins, as they fear and respect his reputation. Roland's experience and knowledge of goblin behavior have allowed him to exploit their weaknesses effectively. He also possesses an innate ability to sense their presence, making him a formidable adversary to the goblin race.
Example: As Roland enters a forest infested with goblins, his presence alone sends shivers down the spines of the goblin warriors. They hesitate to attack, aware of his reputation as a Goblin Slayer. Some goblins even flee upon seeing him, fearing his strength and determination. Roland, armed with the knowledge of their weaknesses, easily exploits their vulnerabilities, swiftly dispatching them one by one. The title of Goblin Slayer has become both a mark of honor and a symbol of fear among the goblin tribes.
