[Silverfrost Continent-Forbidden Dark Forest]
In the dilapidated temple at the east of the dark forest, a man of around 1.7 meters suddenly jumped out of the dark mirror.
He tumbled on the ground and landed rather embarrassingly.
His brown hair was messy and his woolen clothes were crumpled. However, his strong jawline and bright complexion make him appear above average.
"Ptooey, spit." Heizen spit out disgustingly.
Some mud entered his mouth while tumbling on the ground.
This was the third time he experienced space transfer. However, this time the feeling was surprisingly stable.
The place he was teleported to was an old temple. The interior seemed worn down and messy.
The pedestal was in ruin and there was no statue of any god.
Behind him was a black mirror which was almost 2 meters tall. However, it was made of some kind of marble.
Heizen knocked a few times and didn't see portal-like behavior.
After paying attention to his surroundings, he began to think about his experience.
First of all, he was transported to a dungeon. However, since it was a lost dungeon, he didn't encounter many risks.
He also got the rejuvenation potion and Life seal from the Goddess Of Life.
Moreover, he was upgraded to level one and his strength increased sharply.
Though he didn't get any benefits afterward, he also didn't encounter any danger. Everything seems to be going well with the system.
However, the last decision of the system put him to death.
Well, he accepted that he was careless and didn't pay attention to his surroundings, but that was a fucking dragon.
"How can that be Good Luck?" Heizen cursed.
Now that he carefully thought, he was actually in danger of death from the beginning.
The aura alone from the skeleton from the first floor almost squashed him to death. If it was alive?
"Ugh." Heizen didn't want to think.
Greed blinded his judgment. If the dungeon wasn't so dilapidated and barren, he would be dead by choosing the middle door.
Putting such despairing thoughts aside, he thought of the notifications from the system.
When he was resurrected from the corridor, he heard multiple sounds from the system.
However, since he was in a hurry, he didn't pay much attention. So, Heizen tried to call his system in mind.
[Ding!][Goodluck System is ready for your service.]
"Woah, it seems responsive now."
Before, he also tried calling the system multiple times but got no response.
Then he heard a series of notifications in his mind.
[Ding!][You are killed by the Green Dragon-Gadrakh.]
[Life Seal Activated. You will be resurrected shortly.
Remaining Availability: 2/3]
[Ding!][A large amount of Origin power is detected]
[System is automatically absorbing the Origin power.]
[Origin power is sufficient. System Recovery: 1%
The functionality of the system has improved.]
[1. The system is now more responsive.
2. You gained some memory from the Green Dragon-Gadrakh (Only Passive awakening available)]
3. Calibration of Luck increased. The chance of gaining good luck increased.
4. You can now customize your profession and skill.
Reminder: Increase your level to unlock this feature.]
Looking at the third option, Heizen rolled his eyes. He had no idea whether he was fortunate or unlucky.
However, for now, he seemed to be in good condition.
Putting aside such thoughts, he paid attention to other features.
It looked like the Origin power was very important to the system. The white light in his mind now had a tinge of blue at the corner.
If he guessed correctly, the Origin power must be from that dragon.
"At least, my death wasn't in vain." Heizen thought randomly.
The fourth feature was something he had expected. After all, simple leveling up was no fun.
However, there were still many doubts that needed to be cleared slowly.
"Let's put that aside for now. I need to find some settlement first. It is almost evening."
The sun was already on the horizon.
So, Heizen quickly came out of the temple and followed the barely noticeable trail.
He walked through the bush, navigating through the towering, thick trees.
While walking, he noticed that the forest wasn't as beautiful and lively as before.
If he had to describe it in fanciful terms, the life energy was different when traveling with the caravan.
"Ahhhhh. Dodge, dodge. What are you doing? Use Mana shield, fast."
Just when he was getting impatient after walking for half an hour, he heard a scream from the front.
In this barren and lonely forest, even the scream seems lovely to his ears.
Heizen quickly picked up the boar tusk from the space and galloped to the direction of the sound.
When he came near the noise, he saw two gorgeous girls in dark blue robes fighting with a group of long-nosed, hideous short creatures resembling a dwarf.
When he paid attention to one of them, a blue screen appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name: Goblin]
[Level: 1]
[Strength: 5]
[Agility: 4]
[Vitality: 6]
[Stamina: 4]
[Mental Power: 2]
[Skills: Rage, Dark vision]
[Rage: When the skill is active, Goblin gains an additional 20% attack power at the expense of its mental power.]
While he was paying attention to the fight, the goblins quickly surrounded the girls and attacked with their weapons.
The weapons were made up of animal bones.
"Let's help first and then ask them the direction."
Without delay, Heizen quickly ran and arrived at the back of a goblin in a second. His increased agility gave him a huge boost in speed.
Once he was in the attack range, he grabbed the tusk of the boar like a spear and stabbed the back of the goblin.
The goblin screeched loudly and fell to the ground.
[Ding!][Killed a level 1 Goblin. Gained 15% experience.]
The scream attracted the attention of everyone.
But Heizen started to deal with the remaining five goblins after killing one.
It wasn't his first time fighting. So, he dealt with the remaining monsters in no time.
[Ding!][Killed a level 1 Goblin. Gained 15% experience.]
.... ...
[Ding!][You levelled up.]
He heard a series of notifications but he put them aside for now.
After cleaning the tusk on the body of the dead goblin, he walked towards the two girls who were looking at him curiously.
He was just about to introduce himself when the brown-haired girl on the right shout out,
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, a black-skinned goblin with a hooked nose appeared beside him.
He stabbed his neck with a bone dagger at an incredible speed that he had no time to react.
"Sword slash."
Just when he thought he was dead, he heard someone shoot a ray of light at the neck of the goblin.
The head of the monster flew into the air and its body fell limply on the ground.
Everything happened in an instant. From the moment Goblin appeared till it died, not a single second had passed.
"Hahaha, while protecting damsels in distress, you must also pay attention to the opponent. Otherwise, you won't know when you'll die under the peony."
A hearty laughter came from behind the girls. He saw two men appear laughing at him.
The middle-aged burly man carried a huge sword in his hand. That light from before must be from that sword.
Another person beside him was carrying a bow at his back. His age looked similar to him, around 17 to 18 years.
"Hehe." The two girls were also chuckling as they tried to hold but couldn't.
"Well, I wasn't trying to impress anyone."
Heizen was embarrassed. He thought he killed everyone. Who knew where that goblin popped out of?
"Haha, yes, yes, I know you were just helping others."
The burly man slapped his shoulder and gave him a look that all men could understand.
Heizen was speechless. He was truly just trying to save them. Though the two girls were beautiful, he didn't have too much time to pay attention.
However, now it was better to say nothing. Nobody would believe what he said.
So, he paid attention to the Goblin that suddenly attacked him.
[Name: Goblin Assasin]
[Level: 2]
[Strength: 4]
[Agility: 10]
[Dexterity: 10]
[Stamina: 10]
[Vitality: 10]
[Mental Power: 8]
[Skills: Critical Strike, Invisibility, Dark vision]
[Critical Strike: When attacking in the stealth mode, the attack power will be 125% of dexterity value.]
[Invisibility: Can go invisible. Duration depends on the mental power. Ineffective against someone with high mental power.]
No wonder he was passive. It turned out it was an assassin goblin. That too, higher level than him.
"So, what are you doing in the forbidden forest? Your strength is so low. You will die if you are not careful. By the way, my name is Bernard."
Bernard stopped laughing and asked him curiously. Maybe, because I tried to save the girls, they weren't wary.
"Um, I was out for training with my team but got lost on the way. Then, I heard them screaming, so I tried to help. I also wanted to ask for direction by the way."
Heizen made up a random lie so as not to make him stand out. He didn't know where he was, so it was better to be careful.
"Oh, we are sorry. We were also training under Sir Bernard." The girl on the right side with brown hair said apologetically.
"Haha, no problem. I was just trying to help. Hello, my name is Heizen."
Heizen introduced himself to everyone.
"Hi, my name is Sarah." The girl on the right wearing a blue robe introduced herself.
"My name is Sophie." The girl on the left also introduced herself. She seemed quiet compared to the girl on the right.
Both girls were young with full of vitality. Sarah was a cheerful and lovely next-door sister while Sophie looked like an iceberg beauty.
However, Sophie's long crimson hair and charming face stood out more.
"Hello, my name is Bowen and I am an archer."
The last remaining youth also introduced himself.
He seemed quite unhappy as I talked with the girls. Well, did I unknowingly become a competitor?
