Chapter 3 - 03 : Skill Dummy

But the guardians refused to give the map pieces, so the mysterious being began killing the guardians and the people.

"But some people has survived for a purpose" . Bird said

 

"What the purpose people are still alive?"

 

Bird said angrily, "I don't know, idiot! But I believe

still alive for a purpose."

 

"Why are you always angry when you speak to me?"

 

"Bird, … I won't tell you."

 

"Ouuu…"

 

Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside Sakthi.

 

Bird shouted, "Sakthi! Watch your back!"

 

Sakthi quickly turned and see it.

 

The creature leapt up in front of Sakthi.

 

Sakthi said, "What kind of creature is this?"

 

Bird said " run idiot!"

 

Sakthi grabbed the bird and the stick and started running.

 

"What is that creature?"

 

Bird said, "I don't know. But I think it looks like a

goblin."

[System Interface Appeared]

 

[The Zombie Goblin]

 

The title appeared in red text.

 

"What? The zombie goblin , I don't heared the name before . why its name is in red?"

 

<< Notice , the red name means its stronger then you >>

 

Suddenly, Sakthi tripped over a stone.

 

Sakthi fell down, —caught the bird his hands as he fell.

 

"Damn... I can't escape the creature. What do I do?"

 

The goblin approached Sakthi. He started thinking hard.

 

The goblin jumped at him.

 

Bird yelled, "Idiott...!"

 

The time seemed to slowed. Sakthi thought, "Wait… why is everything moving so slowly? This feels like the theory of Temporal Focus…"

--

<>

About : Temporal Focus Theory or 3 second theory.

The brain doesn't perceive time continuously—it breaks it into chunks, about 3 seconds each.

Under stress or extreme focus, a person perceives more details in each chunk, making time feel slower.

 

This explains why dangerous moments feel longer, while boring ones pass quickly.

 

The more aware you are, the slower time seems—not because time slows, but because the mind speeds up.

 

 

---

But this effect is not just theory—it can function is the

system do .

 

The brain reads only a few seconds of action. If you think too long, if do you're already dead.

Fighting is your only option.

 

 

The system interface appeared again in front of Sakthi.

 

"Why now? Wait… is it a quest?"

Sakthi thought.

 

The goblin approached with an axe.

 

Suddenly, Sakthi saw the stick near him.

 

The goblin was close.

 

Sakthi grabbed the stick and struck the goblin. It went down in one hit.

The wooden stick didn't break.

 

[Remaining enemies: 6]

 

Sakthi thought, "Was it weaker than stick Or is this stick stronger than the zombie?"

 

"But I defeated the goblin. The Dummy skill upgraded… what does that mean? , a game concept , I know something about the video games . The

player can defeat the monsters , the player level as increase , and given the some amount of fragments for skill upgrading , but the system cannot given the data about the upgrade .wait, why I think about it this time "

 

 

 

"How did you do that?" Bird asked, shocked. "But never mind that".

 

"Wait… I already know. There are 7 goblins in this place. One is dead."

 

He see around in the place ,

"What did you analyze?" Sakthi wondered.

" The 6 zombie goblin around there place covered all sides . I cannot run any more " sakthi said

 

"Alright. Time to act. If I step back , I become useless."

"Wait, one left? Where is it?" Sakthi looked around.

 

The ground began shaking. "What's going on!? Why is the ground shaking?" Sakthi yelled.

 

A zombie goblin burst from underground, near Sakthi. "what is it , a giant ? …"

"Wait… I can't move my legs… I'm feeling fear like never before," Sakthi said.

"What do I do now…? ".

 

" Mom, mom .. "what happened? " . "It's dark outside.

I'm scared to go out."

 

"Dear, come outside."

 

"Mom… what happened?" Sakthi asked, hiding behind the front door.

"It's dark outside. I'm scared to come out."

 

"Come outside and see," her mother said softly.

"No, Mom… I'm scared." , "Don't be afraid dear

. I'm with you. Come out. Look over there — the moon."

 

Sakthi slowly stepped outside. See the moon

 

"It looks so beautiful," her mother said.

"The moon is so beautiful, isn't it?"

 

"Yeah… it really is beautiful. Just like you,

Mom," he said with a smile.

 

Her mother looked at him and softly said,

"If you get scared just by seeing something… you'll

never be able to see what's behind it."

"Fear is just an illusion. When you focus on it, it starts

to control you. Always remember this — never be afraid, okay my son?" He mom tell he childhood , sakthi remember the past .

 

 

The goblin prepared to strike. "Bird, get to a safe place!" Sakthi yelled.

 

"I know, idiot! Don't tell me what to do!" Bird replied.

 

"Huh… he said exactly what I expected," Sakthi smiled.

 

 

The goblin closed the distance to Sakthi in an

instant." Wait… this goblin is fast. I've never heard of one this quick before. And it's so powerful…" Sakthi thought.

 

 

Then, the goblin's axe came dangerously close swinging toward his neck.

 

" I'm going to die now.…" Sakthi closed his eyes. "Sorry mom "

 

"Teleport," a voice whispered.

 

The axe flew past her neck, just missing it — and the giant goblin's eyes widened in shock.

 

 

Sakthi suddenly teleported behind the pillar.

 

" Wait… I'm alive? How did I come here?" sakthi think shocked.

 

 

"Thank me, idiot," Bird said. "You used a teleport skill?" sakthi asks shocked.

 

"Yes, idiot. I'm a magical bird, remember? I saved you."

 

"Bird, help me defeat that giant goblin." Sakthi said.

"Say thank you." ,"Yeah, thank you, Bird."

 

"Help me."sakthi asked ."No." bird Saying and turned her head turn to the left side."

 

"Please?" , "Ugh… She is begging a lot, okay, idiot. But remember—I can only use teleport three times. So use it wisely."

 

"Double okay, Bird."

 

The giant goblin located them. Sakthi grabbed Bird and jumped to a new spot. And He start ran faster.

The goblin threw a pillar at him.

 

Sakthi jumped right and hid.

Then he closed in on the goblin.

 

Sakthi jumped at it.
