"hmm, I feel like my body is slowly getting used to it as I continue to perform my sword techniques." Ethan muttered to himself with his face slightly bleeding, but it wasn't his blood but the blood of the goblins.

*clang*

As he was pondering in his mind, he suddenly felt an attack land on him and it was a goblin wielding a sharp weapon in its hand.

Of course, Ethan blocked the attack easily, with his swordsmanship abilities allowing him to sense the danger around him.

"Heh, I won't fall for that trick again!" Without caring about the goblin's reaction, he immediately split the goblin into two halves from its body.

"squirt-"

[Gained 5 exp from killing a goblin, 50/50 exp has been gained.]

[Get 10 lucky coins by killing a goblin]

[congratulations, host! You have reached level 3, gaining 1+ points of beauty feature.]

[requires 0/70 exp to reach level 4, so happy hunting host!]

"oh! Sure enough, every time my level rises, it makes my body very comfortable!" Ethan muttered to himself as he continued to stare at his left hand which was now shining slightly.

After that he immediately asked the system with a happy expression. "system, can you show me now all my stats?"

[Because the host asked, the system will tell you, please look here.]

"Wow... I didn't expect that my previously mediocre stats could rise to such a high level!" he said with an excited expression.

After several tens of seconds passed with Ethan now waking up from his pleasure, his face now turned very serious as he continued to stare at the 2 remaining goblins.

Then he immediately jumped towards one of the goblins at a speed that far exceeded that of ordinary humans.

If anyone in this place saw Ethan's speed, their faces would definitely be filled with shock.

"Dead..." he said in an indifferent tone as he swung his sword right at the goblin's body and stabbed it.

"squirt-"

[Gained 5 exp from killing a goblin, remaining 5/70 exp left to reach level 4.]

[get 10 lucky coins by killing a goblin.]

"Now you are the only one left." After saying that Ethan once again lunged towards the last goblin.

[...Host, that's great! You managed to defeat dozens of goblins with your skills!]

"...Before you congratulate me, at least show me the experience notification I just had." he said while staring dead at the pink screen in front of him.

[uh... Sorry, I forgot. gain 5 exp from killing a goblin!]

[gain 10 lucky coins by killing a goblin.]

"..." seeing his master who was now just silent, the system immediately asked him. [...Umm, host, aren't you curious about the function of those lucky coins?]

"Oh right, so may I know what the function of the coins I just collected are?" Ethan immediately asked the system with a look full of curiosity.

[Lucky coins are currency that can be used to purchase weapons or other items in the shop.]

[If the host wants to see the contents of the shop, please press 'shop' to see what the system is selling.]

Seeing the explanation from the system, he immediately chose without thinking to press the 'shop' button to see what was being sold.

[Conqueror's Shop

2. Ability

3. Skills

4. Spells

Host currently has coins: 90.]

Ethan, who saw the new panel he had just seen, immediately made his eyes light up when he saw that the system was also selling skills.

"oh, system, can you show me what skills are for sale?" hearing the owner ask, he immediately showed all the features of the skill.

[Skills

"...?!" When Ethan saw the selling price of the system, he almost fainted when he saw the number of zeros behind it.

"s-system, may I owe you? It's only 10 coins, I promise to pay it wholeheartedly!" he said in a pleading tone to the system.

[...Host, you know we just met and you already owe me?! Even my previous owner never did something as embarrassing as you!]

"Please! I really want to get that GatlingGun skill! At least lend me 5,000 thousand coins!" Looking at his master who didn't give up on getting a loan from him, the system could only sigh softly even though he couldn't show it to him.

[huh... okay, but the host has to pay it 1 week later, if it's even a little late then the system will double it up to 2x the host's loan!]

Ethan, seeing the system agree to this, despite the debt that would double if he didn't pay it, he without hesitation immediately agreed to the terms. "Okay! I accept!"

[A large coin loan has been given to the host, now your coin amount is 5,090 thousand!]

[Host's current debt: 5,000 thousand lucky coins! Remember to pay for it!]

"hehe, thank you very much system! I will definitely pay it forward." he said with a very happy expression, after that he immediately bought the Skill that he really wanted to get.

[Successfully purchased the skill named GatlingGun Magic, please see the description of how to use it.

Without further ado, Ethan immediately selected the 'view' option to see information about the skill he had just purchased.

[GatlingGun Magic is a skill that can attack creatures sequentially, of course not like the Gatling Gun which is made by human hands which uses metal bullets. This skill only requires mana energy in the host body and every second the consumption is 1 mana/3 shots.]

"Hmm, even so, this is still very useful for me, especially shooting 3 bullets only requires 1 mana, so I think this skill is really worth investing in!" he said excitedly and couldn't wait to test the skills he had just bought at the shop.

[...Since the host said so, I hope you can repay your debt to me!]

Ethan, who saw that the system was still angry, immediately calmed himself down while showing a big smile. "Hehe, no need to worry about that. I'm not someone who would forget something like that."

[...] the system that heard the reply just fell silent without saying anything else. But the system didn't sense the slightest lie from its master, so it continued to remain silent.

Ethan saw that his system had returned to normal, which made him immediately take a deep breath after which his face returned to showing a happy expression.

While continuing to stare at his hands, he immediately stretched them forward while preparing to try out the skill he had just purchased.

"Show me that attack of yours, GatlingGun!"

After saying that, a bullet that looked like metal immediately came out from between his palms, but the resulting bullet was light blue unlike metal in general.

"bang-" "bang-" "bang-"

Attacks with explosions like bullets sounded around Ethan which made him very shocked by what he saw.

"oh... This is really crazy! So this is what it's like to use magic in the real world, not like in those fictional stories." he said in a voice full of madness.

However, this is our protagonist's first time using the mana energy in his body, therefore he is a little excited...

After half a minute passed, he immediately snapped out of his madness while muttering to himself. "With this skill, shouldn't I be able to defeat that high orge?"

Before he was about to leave and return to being an ogre, he was immediately stopped by a notification from the system.

[Host, please be careful, I feel like dozens of creatures are watching you, so please don't be careless.]

When he saw the warning, without thinking twice he immediately looked around to confirm whether what the system said was true or not.

But he was once again shocked by the fact that what the system said was true.

"Damn... So many eyes are looking at me." Ethan muttered with his body shaking in fear as he prepared to fight the creature.

*tap* *tap* *tap*

Several footsteps were heard several meters away, Ethan was immediately shocked when he saw the characteristics of the creature. "eh? Gorilla?!"

"Tell me, system, what is that creature?" Because Ethan became very curious about dozens of creatures that were similar to gorillas, he immediately asked the system.

[They are a race called old ancestors, as I said before, this place was once inhabited by creatures from another world, and they are the ancestors of creatures that have undergone tens of thousands of years of evolution.]

"hmm... So you're saying that the gorilla-like creature is the ancestor of that otherworldly creature?" Ethan asked with a confused face.

[Yes, but host, don't worry, they don't have common sense as descendants. So it will be easier for you to escape from the crowd.]

"..." Ethan could only be silent for a moment when he saw the explanation from the system, then suddenly he was shocked once again when he felt a creature trying to attack him.

Because of that sudden reaction, he immediately slashed from behind with his sword.

*Slash*

A hand was cut off from a creature that was trying to attack him from a blind spot, he could see that the creature had black fur all over its body, and the creature showed an angry expression by showing its sharp fangs.

"Tch, damn gorilla, how dare you try to sneak attack me!" he shouted angrily, then raised his sword towards the left, and blood spurted from his stomach exposing his organs.

[Gained 15 exp from killing a old ancestor, remaining 20/70 exp to reach level 4.]
