This is my day two of the training, and I can feel my everything sore. It's been a while since I actually experience this and let me tell you, it's not something you would look forward to.
Thankfully, the concoction I made actually help that soreness. I know this will not able to help me to gain muscles so I decided to try for fishing. I made a makeshift fishing rod with sticks and vines with bugs and worms as baits.
I was fortunate to catch a few in every fishing attempt to balance my nutrients. I also practice to throw sharp rocks at incoming fishes, expanding my skill on fighting. Gotta keep myself ready at any situations.
Sadly, I was so suck at this that I could only kills two fishes and they both died from stupid enough to swallow the rock. I get some animals are dumb, but that takes the cake.
After eating, I continue to exercise, but this time, I decided that my workout routine for today will be one set of pushups, one set of situps, and one set of squat.
I....did a mistake for focusing on pushups and thinking that my Kobold's body might handle it, which was instantly prove wrong. So, I improvises.
It was still painful and tiring, but compare to that pushups, it was far better than before. Sadly, my arms are still hurts because of yesterday, so lying on the ground while drinking the healing concoction it is.
I did another mistake for forgetting my senses, but thankfully the Silver-Fang Boar didn't come again. I still have nightmares about that incident.....
Anyways, I closes my eyes and focus on my hearing, listens to my surrounding and I promptly regrets that as a mosquito fly pass my ears and let me tell you, having an enhanced hearing sucks ass.
Out of anger, I kill that son of a bitch before squishing its corpse into noyhing out of anger. Yeah, I was pissed.
I decided to try my luck on my enhanced smell, and its still as painful as back then, but I held myself for a while before I finally got overwhelmed by the different smell stabbing my nostrils.
Thank the gods that my body can instinctively shuts my canine nostrils by almost squeezing them shut to prevent senses overload. It's amazing that I can smell normally like human despite the nostril was squeezed shut.
I decided to review few things about what could possibly exist in this world. So far, Kobolds and Silver-Fang Boar are confirmed to exist like DF, and then there are moonlight apple and recovery herbs.
So, there's possibly that this world basically a what if Dungeon Fantasy is real. Then that means magic and aura exists. I could learn how to use aura, but the game tutorial-!
Come on, Darren, you got to stop comparing game tutorials with real shit! You try that before but it did jack shit.
I may need an Aura Warrior to teach me, but with my status as Kobold and my inability to speak human language, then I have no shots.
Yeah, another thing why I need to learn how to speak.
"Ar...." I mutter while rubs my cheeks. Then, there's blessings and selections. In the game, you need to do some sort of achievements that impresive enough to attract the gods and give you their blessings.
That is like a unique scenario, where you get the chance by luck, but mostly by your own skills. You got to be very skilled to tackle a mission in such way that it seen as achievement and gained the god's attentions.
Yeah, I'm going to toss that plan asides. The gods are assholes who also cares about the player's looks, so good luck with that.
I bet my life that in this worlds, most of the blessed heroes are good looking nobles with insane talents. Great, no pressure against enemy.
Then, there's selections. A mortal who are blessed with skills, talents, powers, fames, and beauty can gained the world's attentions and got selected by the world itself as the candidate of the god where you need to pass 12 labors specific to what type of gods you'll become and your specialties.
Yeah, that's an instant no to me. I literally got the dupes in my reincarnation lottery.
"Frr...." I cursed while rubbing my head. All the odds are against me, a muggle in a world of gods. Yeah, remind me why did I praises this game in the first place?!
Oh, right...the moment I start my game, I got lucky as I somehow gain the god's attentions and gain the 12 labours that is literally meant for my above average skills.
Okay, perhaps the game was rely a bit more on luck than I thought. Everyday, my respect to the game developer has dropped significantly.
Well, I guess reborn as a Kobold did have some of its perk...not a good perk, but still a perk....
I grab a rock before I sharpens it. I am currently defenseless and I really need a weapon to gain a slight advantage. Kobold might have claws, but with how weak they are, you might going to break it when attacking.
Using a stick and vine alongside with my sharpened rocks, I finally manage to create a stone dagger. I remember how much I love to use daggers in the game to fight. A lot of players tends to laugh at my weapon of choice.
But, daggers are actually a better choice as it gives higher piercing damage compare to swords, higher flexibility compare to spears, and its ability to parry attack which nullifies incoming damage.
Despites its advantages, daggers are a type of weapon that's easy to learn but hard to master compare to swords, spears, and other weapons. A lot of people loses their patiences just to master this weapon.
I grip the handle tightly, just to confirm that it didn't loose. Then, I did a quick jab before follow up with a side stab and a swing. At least, I can confirm that the makeshift dagger actually will keep intact.
Time to relearn how to use dagger again.
