2025-12-12 04:59:00From the shadows of the corridor, five goblins emerged snarling, snarling in language Henry couldn't comprehend except it was translated by his system. Their wooden maces glinted dully in their small but calloused hands. One by one, their beady eyes landed on the body of their fallen kin then shifted to Henry.
He was already aiming. "Tskkkk!" they shrieked and charged. "I have no choice," Henry whispered, and let go. *Whew!* The lead goblin's head snapped back. It dropped instantly, limbs twitching. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 Experience point] The second goblin lunged and Henry sprang aside just in time. The mace missed by inches, but the gust it left behind chilled his skin. His heart pounded against his ribs with his eyes widened. "i almost lost my breath" Three goblins advanced in a frenzy, their weapons slicing through the air. Henry barely dodge their brutal swings. Then another goblin appeared. "Seriously?" he groaned. "Five again". One goblin shrieked and struck. *THWACK!* Henry blocked on instinct, but the attack sent him backward. He crashed into the wall, stone slammed his shoulder. [-5 HP] [HP:10] "Huff" Henry gasped, the wind left his lungs. The goblin charged again, snout pulled back in a vicious grin. Henry was shocked after seeing the HP notification. "Damm! the damage of a mace isn't a joke" The Golbin was still five meters away from him, his short limbs didn't make him a fast runner. Henry reached into his pouch, pulled a stone and waited. The goblin saw him still, mistaking stillness for surrender. Its lips curled into a smirk as it's raised its mace. "Fool" Henry whispered as he rolled left. The weapon smashed into stone where his head had been, dust burst upward. "Good bye" Henry whispered. *Thwip* The goblin's skull split open. It slumped forward, twitching once before falling still. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 Experience point] The remaining four goblins stormed down the corridor, their feet pounding loudly. Henry raised his sling and fired. "Shit," he hissed as he missed. "Not an expert yet." Taking another rock from his pouch, he took a deep breath and aimed. "Time to die, I pray my target works" Henry whispered and let go of the rubber band. *Whew" The rock snapped again the nearest goblin's head and it's fell to the ground dead. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 Experience point] "Three left, let's continue with the run and aim strategy" Henry ran. The corridor twisted and narrowed. He didn't stop until the sounds behind him thinned. Then he turned and waited. One goblin appeared. *Thwip* The rock struck its chest. The creature stumbled back and just then another rock pierced through it's throat. [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 EXP] [LEVEL UP — Level 2 Reached] "Yess!" Henry hissed. "Hmmm, this seems to have a high rate of damage" Henry whispered as he spotted the mace of the fallen Golbin and scooped it up It felt awkward, too heavy, poorly balanced but maybe it'd help. The next goblin arrived, swinging. Henry met it with a wild overhead strike. *THUNK!* [-1 HP] "What? That's all?" He stared, stunned. The goblin barely flinched. [Warning: Low Weapon Affinity. Mace damage reduced – Class: Shooter] "Figures," Henry muttered, dropping it. "Definitely not my thing." He reached for his sling. The goblin growled, joined by two more, hatred gleamed in their eyes. Henry dodged the first attack but the second cracked into him. *CRACK!* He hit the ground, skidding, fingers barely kept hold of his weapon. [-3 HP] "I'm not dying here," Henry hissed. He shoved a rock into the sling, turned, and fired from the ground. *Whew* The rock struck true, straight through the chest of the nearest attacker, It's stumbled back a little. "Still alive" Henry whispered then released another rock at the golbin that just stumbled [You've killed an Ordinary Goblin] [+10 EXP] "Two left" Henry rose on shaking legs. Another rock in hand. He aimed but a taught came to his mind and he paused. The second goblin was running just behind the first. A perfect line. "Let's see if this works…" He reached into his pouch and loaded two stones.

Chapter 189 Can't Let Go
The moment Henry and Vorden stepped into the first training ground, the lively atmosphere changed so suddenly that it almost felt unnatural. Henry instinctively slowed his pace after noticing the unusual silence surrounding them. He glanced from one side of the arena to the other, only to find countless students staring in their direction with expressions ranging from curiosity to annoyance. Feeling the strange pressure of so many gazes focused on him at once, he leaned slightly toward Vorden before whispering, "Shit... why is everyone looking at us?" His voice remained calm, but even he couldn't hide his growing confusion.Vorden awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck while scanning the training ground for anything that might explain the strange reaction. Every student seemed to be watching them as though they had walked into somewhere forbidden, yet neither of them remembered breaking any rules since entering the academy. "I honestly don't know," he admitted quietly. "But all these
Chapter 188 Upper Class
"Why did they leave?" Henry asked, unable to shake the question from his mind. Emma, Silver, and even Jaxon had suddenly disappeared without saying a word. The entire situation felt strange, especially since they had all entered the library together only a short while earlier.Vorden scratched the side of his cheek while thinking carefully about how to answer. Truthfully, he wasn't completely certain either, but based on everything he had witnessed inside the library, he believed he had a fairly good idea of what had happened."I don't really know for sure," Vorden admitted honestly. "But I think the girls are crushing on you. The moment Lucy hugged you... and then kissed you... they looked jealous before walking away."Henry blinked in complete disbelief."Crushing on me?"The words sounded so absurd that he couldn't immediately process them. He slowed his pace slightly while replaying everything that had happened since arriving at the academy. Emma had certainly acted differently la
Chapter 187 Let Her Know
"What's the good news, Vorden?" Henry asked curiously, folding his arms across his chest while keeping his voice low enough not to disturb the peaceful silence of the library. Judging by the excitement shining in Vorden's eyes, this wasn't something ordinary. It was the kind of expression Vorden only wore whenever he stumbled upon a secret or discovered information that could change everything they thought they knew.Vorden opened his mouth with an eager smile, clearly unable to contain himself any longer. "Well, you see..." he began enthusiastically, leaning closer so nobody else would overhear the conversation. Before another word could leave his mouth, however, a calm feminine voice suddenly whispered directly into his ear."Are you two here to read... or here to gossip?""Ah!" Vorden yelped in surprise, nearly jumping several steps backward. Every hair on his body stood upright as he spun around so quickly that he almost lost his balance. His eyes darted wildly around the nearby b
Chapter 186 The Good News
Just as the girl called Henry's name, everyone in the library froze in surprise. Jaxon, Emma, Silver, and Vorden all turned toward the young woman standing near one of the bookshelves. Henry himself blinked twice before recognition filled his face. Although several weeks had passed since they had last met, her appearance had barely changed. The familiar smile, the bright eyes, and the confident way she stood immediately brought back memories from the village he had once helped save."Lucy," Henry muttered with a wide smile spreading across his face. Seeing her here was the last thing he had expected. Lucy was the daughter of the village chief, the same village Henry had protected from the slime invasion during the early days of his journey. He had assumed they would never meet again after leaving the village, especially since they had been assigned to different Military Academy bases. Fate, however, clearly had other plans for them.The moment Lucy confirmed it was truly Henry standin
Chapter 185 Third Military Academy Library
"Good morning, Sir Louis," the guard standing beside the academy gate greeted respectfully the moment the group approached. He immediately straightened his posture before offering a crisp salute. His armor gleamed beneath the morning sunlight, and his expression carried both discipline and admiration. It was obvious from the confidence in his voice that he already knew exactly who Louis was long before the instructors reached the entrance."How are you doing, Issac?" Louis asked with a warm smile that surprised most of the students. His tone sounded less like an instructor speaking to a subordinate and more like an old mentor checking on someone he genuinely cared about. Tyler and Gareth exchanged knowing smiles, clearly familiar with the relationship between the two men."I'm doing well, sir," Issac replied proudly before stepping aside and opening the academy gate completely. "Please go right in. Most of the instructors arrived a few minutes before you did, so they're probably alrea
Chapter 184 Daemon Confirmation
The morning passed peacefully as the group gathered inside the inn's restaurant for breakfast. Warm meals had already been prepared by the workers before sunrise, filling the dining hall with the comforting aroma of fresh bread, roasted meat, and hot soup. After everything they had endured during the previous day, the simple meal felt almost luxurious. None of the students complained as they quietly enjoyed their food, each one recovering both physically and mentally from the exhausting journey through the cursed forest. Even Jaxon, who usually couldn't stop talking, focused entirely on eating, proving just how hungry he truly was.Louis finished the last bite of his breakfast before setting his spoon neatly on the table. His eyes slowly moved across the room, making sure every student had eaten properly before they continued traveling. Satisfied that everyone looked far more energetic than the previous night, he stood up from his chair and nodded toward Tyler and Gareth. The two inst
