2025-12-12 05:10:11Henry stepped cautiously into the next chamber, his bow already drawn. His eyes widened.
Felix lay crumpled on the cold stone floor, his body soaked in blood. Three orcs already lay dead around him, but the remaining two stood agile with their tusked mouths twisting in cruel satisfaction. The orcs stiffened when they sensed Henry's presence. Slowly, they turned, confusion flashing across their brutish faces. He was supposed to be dead. They had believed their chief had already finished him. Henry's voice cracked with rage. "No… what have you done!?" The orcs glanced at one another, snarling, before charging at him in unison. Henry exhaled sharply, steadied his bow, and loosed two arrows in rapid succession. *Whew* *Whew* Both arrows struck true, burying deep into their throat. The monsters collapsed with heavy thuds, twitching once before falling still. [You've just killed an unarmored Orc +10 Experience point ] [You've just killed an unarmored Orc +10 Experience point] Henry dropped his bow and rushed to Felix's side. He knelt, trembling, only to see blood pouring freely from Felix's chest wound. "I'm… sorry," Felix stammered, his lips trembling. "Wish… I could still… help." "I should've stayed close to you" Henry whispered with tears falling from his eyes, and then, with one final gasp, Felix was gone. "Foolish orcs… " Henry whispered as more tears dropped from his eyes. "Rest in peace Felix...." Henry closed his eyes, inhaling shakily, and forced himself to move. A faint shimmer caught his attention, just above the bodies of the slain orcs, crystals floated, glowing faintly. Henry reached out and seized one, his thoughts flashing back to the fallen orc chief. 'The Orc Chief might have dropped a crystal as well.' Trusting his instincts, Henry retraced his steps. And there it was, hovering just above the massive corpse of the orc chief, a crystal pulsed with pale light. Without hesitation, Henry grabbed both crystals, swallowing them down. [+1 Evolution Crystal Absorbed] [+1 Evolution Crystal Absorbed] [Evolution Crystals: 9/10] "Just one more. One more and I'll evolve." Henry whispered and then used up his stat point The system screen unfolded before his eyes: [Strength +2] [Stamina +1] [Agility +1] [Vitality +1] [STATUS] [Name: Henry] [Race: Goblin] [Class: Marksman] [SP: 0] [Level: 3] [EXP: 260/300] [Evolution Crystals: 9/10] [HP: 25/25] [Strength: 14] [Agility: 12] [Stamina: 12] [Vitality: 12] [Skills: Inspect Lv.2, Bouncing Arrows] "Bouncing arrows" Henry whispered and smiled, he glanced back at the chief's body. His armor and sword gleamed faintly under the dim light. "I won't let this go to waste." Piece by piece, he stripped the orc chief of his gear, grunting at the weight. He shoved the armor and sword into his inventory. "Heavier than I thought…" On his way back, he collected five more orc swords, storing them quickly. He then opened the door at the room where the orc's has butchered humans. Light spilled through, and Henry's heart skipped. "Outside?" he whispered. "Am I… done with the dungeon?" (Yes. You have completed the dungeon.) A new notification appeared. [You have reached the End of the Dungeon] Relief hit him like a wave. "Yes!" Henry shouted. He stepped out, breathing in the night air, cool wind brushed across his face. After walking a short while, he spotted a fruit-laden tree. The sight made his mouth water, though he realized he hadn't felt hunger since his last meal. "Rai… why don't I feel hungry anymore?" (Food and rest restores health. When health is full, hunger does not occur.) "Ah… I see. So that's how it works here." He smiled faintly. "Still… those fruits look too ripe to ignore." With a quick flick of his slingshot, he shot a stem, and the fruit dropped neatly to the ground. He bit into it, juice running down his chin. "Delicious." Leaning against the tree trunk, he gazed at the stars above. His thoughts grew heavy. "So this is my life now. A goblin. No hunger when health is full. Forced to kill to grow stronger. I never imagined this… but if survival demands it, then I'll endure. There has to be a reason for my reincarnation." Minutes passed in silence until a rustle in the darkness snapped him alert. He straightened, bow in hand. Two glowing red eyes pierced the shadows. "What… is that?" The creature stepped into the moonlight, a rabbit, small yet strange, a sharp horn jutting from its forehead. Henry narrowed his eyes. "Inspect." [Name: ???] [Race: Horned Rabbit] [Level: 3] [HP: 10] [Strength: 5] [Agility: 5] [Defense: 4] [Skills: None] "Its just a rabbit and can't do any.." just as Henry was about to complete his words the rabbit suddenly leapt with startling speed, ramming its horn into Henry's shoulder. [-10 HP] [HP: 15/25] Henry hissed in pain. "What the fuck... His horn has high damage rate" The rabbit bounded higher this time, aiming for his face. Henry rolled aside, pulled his bowstring , and released. *Whew* The arrow made a slight whistle as it hits it's target. The rabbit's head snapped back, and its body dropped lifelessly. [You have just killed a Horned Rabbit] [+10 Experience point] Henry wiped his brow, panting. "A rabbit… this dangerous? What kind of world is this…" He stared at the rabbit for a while then grabbed the crystal floating inches away from it's body. "Finally… I can evolve." He swallowed the crystal whole. [Evolution Crystals: 10/10] [Evolving…] [Evolving…] [Evolving…] [Evolution Failed] [Unable to Evolve. Minimum Requirement: Level 5] Henry's face twisted in disbelief. "What? No! You've got to be kidding me!"

Chapter 176 Loosing The Whisperfang
Henry forced himself to remain calm after hearing Emma's question. Internally, however, his mind was working faster than ever before. The battle against the infected Black Bear King had been difficult, but this situation felt far more dangerous. Fighting monsters was simple compared to answering questions from experienced knights. One wrong answer could expose everything. Fortunately, during his run back to the carriage, he had already prepared a story. He had repeated it over and over in his head until it sounded natural enough that even he almost believed it himself."I don't know," Henry replied while pretending to think about it. He glanced toward the forest where the instructors had disappeared moments ago before shrugging slightly. "Maybe they were chasing after something." His answer sounded casual and uncertain, exactly how someone in his situation would respond. The less information he provided voluntarily, the less likely someone would notice inconsistencies. At least, that
Chapter 175 Perfect Plan
"The beast is getting away!" Louis shouted at the top of his lungs the moment he realized the goblin had no intention of remaining in the clearing. His voice echoed through the forest as he pointed toward the section of trees where the creature had disappeared. Gareth and Tyler immediately turned in the direction he indicated, but they were already too late. The goblin was nowhere to be seen. Only a few shaking branches remained behind, silently revealing the path the creature had taken moments earlier. The realization immediately frustrated the three instructors because after everything that had happened, they still had no answers regarding the mysterious goblin or the legendary bow in its possession.Without wasting any more time, the three knights charged into the forest. Their boots pounded heavily against the ground while leaves and loose dirt scattered beneath their feet. Each of them pushed their bodies forward at incredible speed, hoping to catch sight of the fleeing goblin be
Chapter 174 Infected Beast Reward
"I don't care where that monster learned how to do that, but we have to end its life now. It's a huge threat," Louis spoke while tightening his grip around the handle of his sword. His voice carried a seriousness that neither Gareth or Tyler questioned. During all his years as a knight, Louis had encountered creatures capable of extraordinary feats, but never a corrupted bear capable of controlling fog and creating a tornado. Every instinct he possessed was warning him that allowing such a creature to survive would be disastrous. If it escaped into a populated area, the number of casualties it could cause would be unimaginable. The thought alone was enough to strengthen his resolve.Gareth and Tyler silently agreed. Both men stood several meters apart with their weapons already raised and their bodies positioned for combat. The three instructors slowly formed a wide semicircle around the infected bear, making sure it had no obvious route of escape. Their movements were cautious and de
Chapter 173 Faraway Enemies
The raging tornado still lingered across the battlefield like a living disaster that refused to die, tearing through the forest with brutal force and uncontrolled mana. Trees were uprooted completely, their massive trunks snapping and twisting before being swallowed by the swirling winds, while rocks and shattered debris circled endlessly like weapons waiting to be released.Louis gritted his teeth as he drove his sword deep into the ground, both hands wrapped tightly around the hilt while his boots slid backward under the pressure of the wind. Even with mana reinforcing his muscles, his entire body trembled violently as he tried to resist the overwhelming force pushing him away from the center of the storm.“Damn it…!” Louis growled through clenched teeth, his voice barely audible over the roaring winds that threatened to tear everything apart in the area.Gareth stood slightly behind him, his hands raised as he maintained a mana barrier that shimmered violently under pressure.

Chapter 172 Massive Tornado
Henry struggled to push himself upright after the latest exchange with the infected Black Bear King. Every movement sent waves of pain through his body, forcing him to grit his teeth just to remain standing. When he finally managed to straighten himself, he immediately noticed blood dripping steadily from the deep wounds across his chest. The bear's claws had cut far deeper than he initially thought. His breathing felt heavier, and his vision briefly blurred when he checked his status window. The sight that greeted him was enough to make his expression darken. Nearly half of his health was gone. For the first time since the battle began, he realized that continuing to fight recklessly could easily get him killed before he ever had a chance to claim the reward."Dammm," Henry muttered while pressing a hand against his injured chest. His voice carried both frustration and annoyance. He had finally found a quest with an incredible reward, only to discover that the enemy guarding it was m
Chapter 171 One Powerful Strike
Louis continued watching the battlefield below while the fog slowly thickened between the trees, making the already chaotic scene even harder to read. From his position on the high branch, he could still clearly see the infected Black Bear King and the goblin with the help of the moon light, but every few seconds the mist would rise just enough to blur their movements before thinning again. It was an unnatural rhythm, almost as if the forest itself was breathing around them.Tyler broke the silence again after watching the goblin continue fighting below. The more he observed, the more tempting the opportunity looked. The bear was clearly injured from its earlier clash with the instructors, and now it was focused entirely on the goblin. “We should use this opportunity to finish it,” Tyler said again, his voice lower but more insistent this time. “It’s distracted. If we strike together now, we might actually bring it down before it recovers.” Gareth didn’t respond immediately, instead n
