The first steps after I left the fortress felt the hardest, but I knew they would lead me to an interesting life.
I locate where the goblins are. I start to get closer to them and prepare myself for the battle ahead. I find a single goblin with a stick in his left hand.
I find a bush to make a surprise attack from behind, and I see Bar Health above his head, their name, and their level, and I see that it's only at 30 health points, so I know I have a good chance of defeating him quickly.
I jump out and strike the goblin on the head, killing him with a swift blow behind his neck with my rusty knife . The goblin falls to the ground, and I feel a sense of relief wash over me.
[ You receive 5xp points ]
[ You receive the ear of a goblin x1 ]
After a second , I realize that there are more goblins approaching from the other bush. I start to hide before they come near me. I open the system and am reminded that I have a lottery ticket, hoping that it will bring me some good luck.
Four big wheels appear in front of me: one was diamond, one was gold , one was silver, and one was bronze. I select the bronze one, and I start to spin the wheel.
[ Congratulations! ]
[ You receive a bronze rifle turret ]
I checked the stats of the turret.
[ Name: bronze rifle turret ] [ Damage: 5 ] [ Accuracy: 70% ] [ Fire rate: 2 shots per second ] [ Range: 100 meters ]
[ 1/5 allowed to equip ]
[ Time limit: 0h/24h ]
Before another enemy comes near me, I place the bronze rifle turret to defend myself in front of the bush where I was hiding. I take a deep breath, feeling relieved that I have a weapon to protect myself.
When the other goblins start to appear in the range of the turret starts to fire automatically. The goblins, without some protection, die very fast.

After I defeat all the goblins near me, the turret proves to be a valuable asset in my journey through this dangerous land.
After I check the zone to be sure it is safe, I start to analyze the window from turret, it looks like I need to level up to have more benefits from system.
I pick up the turret and put it in my inventory. I will continue to search for other goblins after I decide to reallocate the turret in another place, and I will attract the goblins in the range of turret. Later that day, I finished killing the last goblin to level up.
[ Congratulations! ]
[ You level up ]
[+1 slot turret ]
[ +5 stat points ]
[ You receive: temporary flag base( unlimited use) ]
[ You receive: permanent flag base( 1 time use) ]
I decided to open my stats to reallocate my points.
[ Stats ]
[ Strength: 10 ]
[ Agility: 8]
[ Intelligence: 5 ]
[ Vitality: 7 ]
[ Stat points: 5 ]
I decided to focus on increasing my agility and mana to not die easily. After a while of walking around the field, I decided to visit the closest forest. Before entering the forest, I hear a ding.
[ New mission: collect wood 0/100] ]
I open the Build function, and I see different kinds of buildings; one was a [ lumberjack house (0/1) ]
I press to see more information about this building.
[ Name: Lumberjack House ]
[ Helps you gather wood from the nearby tree; this building can be level up individually ]
I notice that upgrading this building will help me collect wood more efficiently, but for this, I need resources and points.
To put this one up, I need to first put up a temporary or permanent flag.
After I put the flag, I have [ Edit Mode ] where I can see everything from above. I was limited to a small distance from the center of the temporary base and decided to put the [ lumberjack house ] near a tree and a turret to defend the building. Immediately a robot guy with an axe leaves the building and goes to the closest tree and starts to cut it.

I decide to take the turret to continue to hunt the goblins. But after a while, I received it.
[ Warning! ]
[ Your buildings are attacked ]
But already I walk too far, so I decide to activate the [ Edit Mode ] to see the problem. I noticed that I can put turret directly from here; after I put the turret I rush back, but already the building has been destroyed. I was approaching the building and saw:
[ The building has been destroyed]
[ Cooldown 3h ]
[ Repair instant; 10 points]
I decided to put the turret here while I prepared for the night.
The next day, I picked up the turret and the building with the flag and decided to return to the fortress. From a distance, I could already see the walls and the turrets with their bodyguards at the gate.
After the identification, I go directly to the association. I put all the ears from the goblins into the inventory. In jacket pockets without anybody seeing.
I go to a counter, and I put the paper with the mission on my left and the proof of the hunt on my right.
After verification, I received 115 bronze coins for all 23 ears. I was happy because my first mission was a success. I thanked the young lady from the counter and headed back to my room at the fortress, eager to rest after a long day of hunting.
As I walked through the halls, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment for completing my first mission successfully.
When I went to bed, I felt all the fatigue accumulated from the mission. The bed, once uncomfortable, became very comfortable.
I feel instantly asleep after a long day at work the moment my head hits the pillow. It's as if my body knows it's time to rest and recharge, and I drift off into a deep sleep.
