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.

Henry stared at Juliet, his breath uneven. He was lost in words and didn't know what to say.Juliet’s eyes softened for a moment, then hardened again. “I don’t know why I’m attached to you, Henry,” she said quietly. “I know nothing about you.” She brushed past him, giving him a slight shove as she walked ahead.Henry sighed, rubbing his neck. “Last time I told her where I really came from, she didn’t believe me,” he muttered under his breath. Shaking his head, he followed her down the dusty path toward the merchant’s house.“Juliet!” he called.She didn’t answer. Her pace didn’t even slow.When they reached the merchant’s residence, Juliet entered first. Henry followed, keeping a respectful distance. Hours passed before Wednesday and Vorden finally arrived, looking exhausted but pleased. They gathered in the sitting room, talking about the quest and the strange beasts they’d faced. Henry caught Juliet’s eyes once—but she turned away almost instantly, pretending to focus on her food.D
Chapter 57 You lied
Henry’s feet pounded against the forest floor as he muttered under his breath, " Alright let's play a little.”Behind him, the thunder of hooves shook the ground. The evolved Fang Boar bellowed furiously and charged. Henry darted between trees, glancing around. Then he spotted one, a tall oak with a sturdy branch angled perfectly for climbing.“Got you,” he whispered.He leapt, caught the branch, and hauled himself upward in one clean motion. The boar crashed against the base of the tree, its tusks scraping bark and splintering wood. It glared up at him, snorting hot air through flared nostrils.“Nice chase” Henry muttered, tightening his grip on the branch as the beast rammed the trunk again and again.Each strike sent shivers up the wood. The tree groaned in protest, its roots loosening as soil shifted beneath it. Henry felt the tremors vibrate through his feet.“Alright, buddy, that’s enough,” he muttered, looking down at the fanged brute that refused to quit.He sighed. “I'll sti

“What is it? Why are you smiling?” the receptionist asked, narrowing her eyes slightly, curiosity playing at the corners of her lips. Henry blinked, snapping out of his daze. “Nothing,” he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. His eyes accidentally drifted down for the valley at her chest but darted away before she could notice. “Come on, guys! Let’s get this quest started!” Wednesday spoke. They left the guild together but soon split up, each heading toward their respective quest destinations. Henry followed the rough map printed on the back of his quest sheet, his boots crunching softly on the gravel road. “I’m only supposed to kill two Fang Boars and bring their crystals back,” he murmured to himself, holding the quest paper against the wind. “Even if I take down twenty, no one would know. The extra crystals would all be mine.” He grinned a little at the thought. But as he walked through the busy street leading to the capital gate, his attention was caught by a famili
Chapter 55 First Guild Quest
Juliet’s soft voice broke the momentary silence. “What’s wrong?” she asked from behind, noticing the woman’s fixed gaze on Henry. “I don’t know,” the woman replied, her brows furrowed. “Something feels… different about his face.” Juliet chuckled, stepping closer with a teasing smile. “Yeah, he’s handsome, right? Most people even mistake him for a girl.” “Maybe.” The woman shrugged, brushing it off before walking away. Henry, however, knew she wasn’t just admiring him, she had sensed something unusual. She was a high-level adventurer, skilled and perceptive. If she had truly seen through him, he might’ve been in trouble. There were too many adventurers here for him to escape unnoticed if something went wrong. 'Almost got caught' Henry thought with a sigh of relief. Minutes later, the receptionist returned, holding several small cards. “Congratulations,” she said with a polite smile as she handed them out. “You’re now official F-Rank adventurers. Welcome to the guild.” He
Chapter 54 Something Different
“We’d like to register as adventurers,” Vorden said confidently to the receptionist behind the counter.The woman looked up from her desk and smiled politely. “Wait a moment.” She pulled open a drawer, retrieved a small stack of forms, and spread them neatly before the group.“Please fill these out first,” she said.Henry stared at the paper in front of him, feeling lost. The only things he could confidently fill in were his name and age. Vorden, however, was already writing swiftly, so Henry subtly peeked at his sheet for clues and managed to complete his own form with some effort.Once they were done, the receptionist began explaining the rules and responsibilities of adventurers, how guild ranks worked, the importance of missions, and the conduct expected from every registered member. She had clearly done this many times before, her tone professional yet patient. Henry listened with extra attention; everything about this world was new to him, and he didn’t want to miss a detail.Wh
Chapter 53 Guild Receptionist
Panic rippled through the group as they rushed toward Henry, their faces tight with fear and confusion. “Don’t worry, guys. I’ll be alright,” Henry muttered, forcing a calm smile even as his mind spun. His body slowly began to heal from within. “Maids!” the merchant barked, his voice sharp at first, then quickly softening into reassurance. “Don’t panic, Henry. It’s just a cut. You’ll be fine. The healer lives only a stone’s throw away.” Vorden dropped beside Henry, guilt written all over him. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said, voice trembling. Henry didn’t answer. He sat there quietly, clutching his arm. Within, the injury was healing and now it's because visible to the eyes. “Wait... look at that,” the merchant’s wife whispered, eyes wide in disbelief. “Are you a mage?” Wednesday asked, her gaze locked on Henry’s arm as the last traces of injury disappeared. “Thank the goddess,” Vorden exhaled, relief washing over him. “It’s healing... he’s really healin
