As Leonard wandered through the forest he began to realize the true gravity of his situation he had been going round and round again for a long time and was unable to find a way out or even remember the paths he took.
It was like he was in a maze but Leonard was not one to give up so easily he was determined to get out this forest .
He had to go back home to his parents he slapped his cheeks to stay awake and keep himself motivated .
The first thing he needed to do was find water so he started walking in the direction where he heard the sound of flowing water
He was not giving up on getting out of the forest but the priority was to find water because he was super thirsty .
On reaching the stream Leonard drank without looking at the state of the stream he was too thirsty for that .
And with finding a source of water Leonard's first day in the dark forest came to pass he had solved one of his worries
Two days passed and Leonard was slowly getting used to the harness of the forest drinking from the stream and eating whatever fruit or berry he found
He had explored a little bit of the forest and still found no way out but was keeping himself from losing any hope .
Leonard was walking around the forest again exploring it in hopes of finding a way out
Suddenly he heard rustling in the bushes and he froze up till now he had been lucky not to come across any wild animals.
He was suddenly reminded he was not safe in that forest
Then suddenly three wild wolves appeared from the bushes and charged towards him
Leonard tried to fight them with his bare hands and almost died killing just one
//You have awakened //
He heard a strange voice in his head he did not pay attention to the voice as he was busy running away from the remaining wolves
" Ah I made it thank goodness "
He said as he sat beside the stream as soon as he ran from the wolves
" I need a weapon " he said he needed a weapon or he was sure he will not be able to make it out of there alive
So he started picking sharp stones and sticks to make weapons
He sharpened a stick with the sharp stone he picked to a a sort of spear . When he finished making his weapon he was satisfied and went on a hunt to try it .
Leonard was relaxing beside the stream after eating a rabbit he had hunted in four days this was the first time he was satisfied
While trying to fish a goblin came out of nowhere and launched an attack at him .
Seeing the goblin he understood he was not in his world
Leonard quickly held his spear facing the goblin . The goblin was holding a rusted short sword je led out a roar ready to engage in battle .
Leonard charged towards the goblin with his spear raised high . The goblin blocked the attack with his sword .
The goblin then swung his short sword with force aiming at Leonard.
But Leonard was quick to react . He sidestepped the blow and pierced his spear in the goblins arm causing to him bleed .
The goblin growled in pain and charged at Leonard swinging his sword wildly
Leonard ducked and dodged the attack waiting for the right moment to strike
The goblin paused for a moment to catch his breath , Leonard seized the opportunity and swung his spear hitting the goblin on the side of his head
The goblin stumbled but quickly regained his balance and swung his sword once again
Leonard narrowly avoided the attack and kicked the goblins knee , causing it to buckle . The goblin fell on the ground creating a cloud of dust
As the dust cleared Leonard stood over the goblin , his spear pointed towards the goblin's throat and he Pierced it
When the goblin died Leonard slumped on the ground he was tired
// Level up //
Leonard heard the voice again but he ignored it he was preoccupied with what he just discovered he was not in his world right now his world had no goblins
" Fuck just where in hell did that goddess send me "
It was already the second time he had almost died .

In the grand hall of the palace a man in his fifties was seated on a throne adorned with gold he wore a red robe with a dragon on it symbol of the empire
He was the emperor of Masan emperor Lucius Augustus at his right sat a young lady the princess Arian Augustus
" So has the hero been summoned ?"
Asked the emperor to the priest who stood down
As the demon troupes were advancing Aria as the goddess told the priest that a hero from another world will be summoned so basically every body in Masan knew about the hero
" No your highness but I am sure it will not take long "
Replied the priest
" Inform me at once when he comes we need to prepare him monsters are growing strong every day so we need to train him fast "
Lucius said his empire will be the one to suffer the most if the hero was to come too late
" Yes your highness " replied the priest
" You can go back " said Lucius
The priest bowed and left the throne room
Lucius turned to his daughter he had an adoring look in his eyes
" Arian once the hero comes you will have to help him too "
Arian was amongst the best young magicians in the capital plus she had a rare dual attributes
" I will do my best father " Arian nodded
For the good of their Kingdom they really hoped a hero will come soon .
They could kill off the monsters but according to the goddess only the hero could kill the demon god and his most powerful generals .
