Chapter 18 - chapter 18: floor 1(2)

As Ahmet ventured deeper into the forest surrounding the tower, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air. The dense foliage loomed overhead, casting eerie shadows that danced in the dappled sunlight. But despite the ominous atmosphere, Ahmet pressed on, his resolve unwavering.

With each step he took, Ahmet's mind drifted back to his encounter with the goblins in the tower. The memory of those first ten goblins weighed heavily on his conscience, their pitiful cries haunting his dreams. But as he continued to face off against the creatures, he found that it got easier with each battle. The initial hesitation and guilt slowly faded away, replaced by a steely determination to survive.

Now, as he faced yet another group of goblins, Ahmet felt a newfound confidence coursing through his veins. With swift, precise movements, he dispatched the creatures with ease, his dagger flashing in the sunlight as he danced through the fray.

But just as he dealt the final blow to the last goblin, a notification flashed before his eyes:

Skill Obtained: Dagger Movement (F-)

Ahmet's heart skipped a beat as he read the words. A new skill? He hadn't even realized he was capable of learning such things. But as he delved into the details of the skill, he felt a rush of understanding wash over him. It was as if the movements were second nature to him, ingrained in his very being.

With this newfound skill at his disposal, Ahmet felt unstoppable. His movements became fluid and precise, his attacks landing with deadly accuracy. The goblins stood no chance against his newfound prowess, falling before him like leaves in the wind.

As the battle raged on, Ahmet felt his stats begin to soar. His strength and agility doubled from their previous levels, his body adapting to the challenges of combat with each passing moment. And after defeating fifty goblins, a new title appeared before him:

Title Obtained: Goblins' Enemy

Ahmet's chest swelled with pride as he read the words. He had become a force to be reckoned with, a scourge to the goblins that roamed the forest.

But his triumph was short-lived as his eyes fell upon a glint of light in the underbrush. Curiosity piqued, Ahmet approached cautiously, his hand reaching out to grasp the object.

Before he could even register what was happening, a searing pain shot through his back, sending him reeling to the ground. With a cry of anger, Ahmet spun around to face his attacker, his dagger at the ready.

The goblin stood before him, its eyes filled with malice as it prepared to strike again. But Ahmet was faster. With a swift motion, he lashed out, his dagger finding its mark with deadly precision.

As the goblin crumpled to the ground, Ahmet's gaze fell upon the object he had been reaching for—a small chest, nestled among the roots of a nearby tree.

With cautious curiosity, Ahmet approached the chest, his hands trembling slightly as he reached out to open it. But as he did, a sense of foreboding washed over him, as if he were about to unleash something beyond his control.

With a deep breath, Ahmet pushed aside his apprehension and lifted the lid of the chest. And there, nestled among the treasures within, lay a single item—a necklace, its delicate chain glinting in the dim light.

Excitement surged through Ahmet as he reached out to grasp the necklace, his fingers closing around it with a sense of anticipation. And as he read the notification that appeared before him, a grin spread across his face:

Congratulations: New Item Obtained

Item: Fire Necklace (F+)

Ahmet's heart raced as he read the description of the necklace, his mind reeling with possibilities. With a basic skill like Ignite at his disposal, he could unleash devastating flames upon his enemies, turning the tide of battle in an instant.Excitement surged through Ahmet as he examined the necklace in his hands. Its delicate chain was adorned with a small, shimmering gemstone that seemed to flicker with an inner flame. As he held it up to the light, Ahmet couldn't help but marvel at its beauty.

But it was the description that truly captured his attention:

Name: Fire Necklace

Rank: F+

Description: A necklace used by a beautiful princess who died tragically, but her legacy lives on.

Details:

• Basic Skill: Ignite (F+)

The words sent a thrill of excitement coursing through Ahmet's veins. Ignite—a skill that would allow him to wield the power of fire against his enemies. It was a gift beyond his wildest dreams, a tool that would undoubtedly prove invaluable in the battles to come.

With trembling hands, Ahmet fastened the necklace around his neck, feeling its weight settle against his chest. As he focused his thoughts on the skill it contained, a surge of energy pulsed through him, igniting a flame of determination within his soul.

With a deep breath, Ahmet closed his eyes and concentrated, summoning the power of Ignite. Instantly, a ball of fire materialized in his palm, dancing and flickering with an otherworldly light.

With a sense of awe, Ahmet tested the limits of his newfound skill, sending streams of fire cascading through the air with a mere thought. The goblins that had once posed a threat to him now cowered in fear, their primitive weapons no match for the inferno that raged around them.

As he fought, Ahmet couldn't help but marvel at the sheer power he now wielded. With each blast of fire, he felt a sense of exhilaration wash over him, driving him forward with renewed vigor.

And as he emerged victorious from the battle, the flames of the necklace burning brightly against the darkness of the forest, Ahmet knew that he had truly become a force to be reckoned with. With the power of fire at his command, there was no challenge too great, no obstacle too daunting. He was ready to face whatever trials lay ahead, armed with the strength and courage of a true warrior.
