Chapter 6 - Out of the frying pan into the fire
After cursing the old man for an entire hour, Elias slowly regained his composure.
He looked at the system screen again. "Status."
[Name - None
Race - Demi-Human
(Human - 40%, Troll - 28%, Yamata no Orochi - 12%, Arachne - 10%, Hobgoblin - 10%)

With the system interface he got to new a few points.
Firstly, he was nameless for some reason, yet he knew his name from past life and all the memories were intact too.
Secondly, he had ten times the usual amount of mana that a normal Demi human had. But he was still weak compared to the average Demi human because his half-assed strength wouldn't lead him to anywhere even with his 'above normal' speed and stamina.
At most, he could only run away from the dangers. But it was not a good decision in every situation.
What if the enemy has command over both speed and strength? Wouldn't he just be a meal for those hungry folks?
However, this was not the only thing that troubled him.
His race… was not human.
"These five completely different concentration of bloodlines… Can this section be hidden?"
[No, host~]
[You can prefer not to tell anyone about it.~]
[But you should still know about your parents.~]
Elias remained silent.
Of course, he knew that there were five bloodlines inside his body. Moreover, even the most low level monster 'Hobgoblin' had tried his luck. Just what kind of rotten luck he had struck to reach this stage in his second life.
This world was no doubt one of those worlds that had fallen into complete chaos.
"Hey, system."
[Yes, host~]
"Aren't you supposed to tell me how to get strong?"
[You should have known that after absorbing this bodies memories~]
"There's no way I'm absorbing those memories. This guy was thrown right into a forest. He's useless, and that's already helpful." Elias spoke disdainfully.
[You're just afraid that you will see your hobgoblin father, right? ~] The system began giggling.
"..." Elias remained silent.
He was caught off guard by the system, resulting in a critical hit.
[Let's start from the basic~]
[This particular world is not a world but a realm. The Realm of Dracia.]
[According to the database, it is the largest realm in the entire of cosmos and the first realm ever being born from the world tree. After millions of years of construction and destruction, it gave birth to the first batch of its inhabitants. There were humans, monsters, elementals, and also the mythical beasts that you have read the stories about.]
[With unique and varied races being born every once in a while, the world tree had separated them into different worlds and realms.]
[They had lived in harmony for thousands of generations until a certain accident had befallen on the world tree itself.]
[In the depths of the cosmos, Abyssal Spire emerged, birthing countless worlds and realms teeming with malice and chaos among its inhabitants. Coveting the world tree's unique essence of life creation, Abyssal Spire entangled one of the most prosperous worlds with its own branch of abyssal darkness, slowly contaminating it. The world became fully corrupted, prompting the world tree to sever this tainted branch, isolating the prosperous world from others to halt the spread of contamination.]
[To the world tree's dismay, the prosperous world, now a vessel of Abyssal Spire's influence, breached the realm of Dracia, swiftly corrupting its inhabitants who began to plunder their own kind. The corruption spread relentlessly, corroding Dracia to its core and enabling its denizens to invade neighboring worlds through alternative means.]
[No transmigrator or reincarnation has ever survived this long, so there's no data reliable for the current place we're in.]
[To be frank, I was supposed to be in another prosperous world, but here I'm stuck with you in this hellhole. Tsk.]
"What do you mean by another world?"
[I mean what I say, its highly likely that they have given you the wrong aid because they didn't know you would be able to survive.]
Another critical hit.
"So, what now?"
[You dumb host, how long do you want to stay in this situation?]
[Honest advice. Try to survive first.]
[If it weren't for the troll skill awakening at the right moment, you would already be the fertilizer for that ugly tree.]
Elias had also unearthed a deep secret. The monster blood running in his veins was active. Just like how the troll blood had helped him in the near death situation.
All he needed was time. He just needed to lie low.
"Let's head to the cave." Elias stood up, grabbing the broken branch that had pierced his forearm.
The branch was extremely sharp and a meter tall. To his surprise, he couldn't break it even with all his force.
He also noticed that the blood he had lost on the tree was slowly being absorbed by it.
[Looks like the tree only feeds on dead lifeforms.~]
Elias didn't stay put and immediately rushed towards the cave opening.
He gripped the wide part of the tree branch with all his might and saw something when he reached the entrance of the cave.
{Dungeon Name - Goblin's Abode
Dungeon Grade - A~S
Dungeon State - ???? (Due to unknown conditions, there will be a Hell level Difficulty Dungeon Break)
Dungeon Break Countdown - 0:13/20:00}
[The countdown is backwards. Run~]
Elias immediately began running towards the tallest tree.
He had only reached 70-80 meters away from the dungeon's entrance when he heard something.
"Kiiik Kek!" A loud, unpleasant voice rang out.
SWOOOSH!!
BANG!
Something struck Elias' legs, causing him to collapse.
He stood up immediately, holding the tree branch tightly, but before he could move, something grabbed his leg.
"Keke Kiiek!" An unpleasant laughter echoed.
He felt his leg being stabbed.
Looking at his leg, he was horrified to his very core.
