When I opened my eyes what greet me is a tall tree. A 4 meter or more tall and big one not just one but many of it. Evertwhere i look i found the same looking tree.
Gazing upwards theres clear sky no clouds blocking it. The color of sky is strange it isn't blue that you normaly see in sky. It's just color ash gray.
Then the same interface that display the message earlier appear.

'To better adapt huh and it will only end when the main objectives is complete. I wonder where Drik got transported.'
'Now then, how can Status Window appear'
Suddenly an Panel appear in front of me showing:

'I'm unawakened. Then how am I supposed to awaken? let's first check the Gift yeah lets do that.'
[Gift: Clone
Gift Rank: Ancient
Gift Description: You can create a copy of yourself containing all your skills and attribute with 70% of your overall Stats. The number of Clones you can make depends on your rank.
Clone Limit: 0]
A sudden sound of laughter resounded in the forest that full of 4 meters trees but it suddenly disappear.
'haaa~ That was a mistake to laugh in the middle of nowhere if I attract something this mop handle can kill then I'm dead'
'Having Clones is just nice just imagine using clone to do your work and you just relax. But currently I can't create even one.'
Having seen the Gift he begun moving carefully forward not knowing where he was he was just going straight until he saw something aside this tall trees.
While moving he always check the sorroundings always on alert for anything that will jump at him.
After a few minutes of cautiously moving he spot something that moving in 20 meters in front of him.
'whats that'
Squinting his eyes to see more clearly he finally saw it. It was an dark green looking creature with pointy ears, only wearing rags to hips while holding a small stone knife in its left hands.
'green colored skin i wonder what that is its just my hip height. Should I kill it? can i kill it?'
Looking at greeny. 'yeah lets call it greeny always muttering green looking creature or something is bothersome.'
then looking at myself.
'It's just my chest level height maybe i can kill it and I have may weapon if it can be called one.'
He then saw it moves and when greeny is already 26 meters away he suddenly grip the mop handle tightly he muttered very silently.
"yeah lets do it"
Then silently moving closer and closer he observed the creature. While moving he always turned into the sorrounding to see if there's more of that greeny.
After moving slowing while following it he reach within 5 meters apart. Luckly he was wearing a quiet shoes and theres not much noise while he moves.
Waiting for the opportunity to attack he kept following it until it suddenly stops.
5 meters away from it, gripping the 1.2 meters mop handle with two hands he suddenly dash forward.
The moment he moved the sounds of his hurried steps was heard and the creature turned to him. Then it raise it's stone knife and dash toward him.
When he was half meters away from the creature he swung his mop handle downward aiming at the creature's head.
Seeing the mop handle heading towards it's head the creature then suddenly raise it's weapon trying to block it.
*clank
A sound of metal hitting something can be heard in 10 meters radius with Ronn and greeny in the center.
Seeing the creature block his attack he immediately follow up by kicking the creature in the stomach.
Putting all strength he could muster the creature got pushback two meters away from him.
Without wasting time he quickly moves closer to the creature. Taking advantage of the creatures inability to get up due to the force of the kick.
He quickly swing his weapon straining his arms muscles aiming and at it's head.
thud* thud* thud* thud* thud* thud*
Hitting it multiple times until the head was crack he finally stopped when he heard a voice announcing his kill.
[ You have killed a F- rank Goblin ]
After hearing the announcement he then sat on a nearby tree. while he was leaning on it, he breathe heavily.
This was his second time being in a fight. He always avoid fighting because it cause trouble he just want a normal life.
'I did it hahaha I won' He muttered inwardly.
Though the opponent was half his size he's still happy. But he quickly reign his emotion and become alert again.
After couple of minutes resting he the approach the corpse of creature called goblin.
He saw the stone knife besides the body he pick it up and take a look at it. After looking at it he suddenly toss it aside.
'That knife is cracked, it must've crack when this goblin block my first swing.'
He then bent down besides the corpse to see if theres something that he can get but he didn't find anything.
He also check the body to see if it has a core. He checked it because he saw in his status window about his core being locked.
Since this goblin is an F-rank that means it's awakened but he found nothing.
'maybe the core only for humans, let's just check again when i kill another creature'
Then he move toward the direction he moved earlier before he encountered the goblin.
20 minutes after moving in straight cautiously and carefully he spot another goblin.
Using the same tactics he used to kill the first goblin. He followed it then check if the sorroundings has another creature.
After finding nothing he closed to the goblin trying to get close as possible before getting caught.
He manage to closed up to 3.5 meters away then dash to the goblin the swing his mop handle downward.
The goblin instead of blocking tried to dodge the strike so the and got struck in the right shoulder making it's hand drop it's weapon.
Seeing that it drop it's weapon Ronn immediately swing his mop horizontally aiming at it's head.
Thud*
The goblin falls sideways due to being hit on the right side of it's head.
Following the swing he then do the same action he took during his first fight.
'Smash Until It's Head Crack'
After a dozen or more hits he then heard the same voice that announce his kill
[ You have killed a F- rank Goblin ]
He then crouch besides the dead body of the goblin doing the same thing he did on his first goblin kill.
While he examine the body he then saw the goblin's right side of chess bulging.
Looking around he saw the stone knife the goblin drop earlier and pick it up.
He then use it to rip the bulging part of the chest. After ripping it he saw an orb that has the same size of a tennis ball.
Taking it out of the corpse of the goblin he take a look at it and a blue panel appear in front of him with the words:
[ Would you like to absorb the Monster Core?]
After reading it he look the the orb in his hand and said
"Yes"
He then suddenly feel something moving from his hand to his arms to his shoulder down to his upper part of navel.
A minute passed and the feeling disappear.
Then he saw a Panel appear again.
[ Notice: After absorbing the Monster Core your Unawakened Core got filled with Mana making it possible to be Awaken ]
[ Do you want to Awaken you Core? ]
After seeing the panel a smile form in his lips.
'Finally, After I awaken i should be able to use my Gift'
"I should better find a good place to awaken, There's no time limit so maybe it can be postponed until I find a safe place"
He then clean the stone knife and put it in his Inventory. Then he begun to find a good place to awaken.
