{Green quest activated.} The system announced.
{Preparing to enter the dun cave.}
Entering?. Green realms.
"Wait what?" Arthur yelled. "You didn't tell me I am entering a realm"
10, the system begin it countdown
"Wait, I haven't prepared," Arthur said. "I can't enter a realm I don't know what it looks like I can't"
9, 8,
"Wait" Arthur shouted again. "I can't do this quest like this," he pointed to his leg. "And I haven't prepared enough, no good clothing, nothing" he yelled so loud that his throat hurt. As if the system could hear him.
But the system just continued counting.
7, 6, 5, 4
"No, no please system just wait" Arthur pleaded.
What is going to happen? Is he really going to enter a quest?, and a realm he is not going to come here again?.
No not now, why is the systems trying to torture him like this?.
3,2
He heard noise downstairs. "I think mom is back so we should…."
1,0...
Suddenly everywhere went blank. Arthur couldn't see. everything around him stopped, like time itself had stopped.
Then what he knew was that he was floating and soon he was sitting in a cave, the air was stiff, the temperature cold and chill.
Rocks laid around him far, near and into the darkness.
He was in a cave.
What is he doing in a cave?.
He was supposed to be in a quest realm.
Is this a realm.
He sniffed into the air as it smells of old liquid and a neutral smell, Arthur didn't know of…
His heart pounded. This is different from what he had expected.
{Green trial entered.}
{Welcome to the dun cave.}
{The dun cave is a realm inhabit by low ranking goblin.}
"So what" Arthur groaned in frustration.
{Quest: clear this cave of goblins to level up your physical and psychological energy.
You have 1 hour.}
Arthur stared at the screen. " clear this cave?."
Stats: 2%
Strength.... 5%
Speed... 0%
Endurance..... 19%
Mana Flow.... 1%
{This is your current position, and if you must level up and be able to evolve different paths, you must grow your stats profile.}
I must kill goblins to level up?. But I can't, I don't have enough energy or power.
{That why you are given this trials, just believe in yourself.}
Believe in myself?. In what?.
He inhaled. Calm. He told himself.
He had to calm down.
He can't do it and no matter what comes may, he had to try.
"Okey system but I don't have any weapon's, so do you expect me to fight with bare hands and my feet, I can't just sit down"
Something shimmered into his hand. Arthur flinched. it was a small dagger with red blade and a comfortable edges
the blade looks rust and worn.
How do I use this?.
{Weapons: sleepers blade..
Picked up from the cave.}
{A low common sword used by the goblin of this cave. It a hand made dagger left behind by the goblin slave.}
Arthur stared at the blade. It is a goblin dagger. And it was picked up by the system when he appeared here.
Can the system steal weapon?.
The dagger twitched in Arthur's hand. "What?"
{Sleepers blade is a living sword in this form. it can resonate and also it chooses its master, it chooses you, player.}
It chose me. Arthur smiled to himself.
{Inventory: Dragon water given occasionally when you are on a quest would allow you to walk during the quest but with limited time of 1 hour and if in the real world you return to normal}
"What is a inventory ?" Arthur asked.
{A store, you store your belongings. You can actually call it a spiritual shop.}
Oh.
The small bottle shimmered into Arthur hand.
This is enough, he could at least walk here.
He tightened his grip on the bottle.
Without hesitation he drank the dragon water in one go.
He felt the sensation from before and in no time he was standing on his two legs.
He gripped the dagger tightly. If this was the only the way, he had to do it..
To be a able to be given dragon water.
He walked into the dark part of the cave, treading his foot carefully.
"This place is silent," he said.
Dark, rocks, silence and the smell of the liquid getting nearer.
Crank.
Something stirred in the distance.He stopped. Then again the sound creeped.
He quickly hid behind a rock.
His heart was breathing fast.
He slowly peeps from behind the rock hole and then he sees five goblins around a fire holding a bottle of green content.
What is that?. Arthur stared disgustingly at the bottle. And then at the goblin.
It is as his first time seeing one, They were small human like but they had blue skin, long pointed ear like a rabbit, but more creeper and ominous.
They sat around themselves, each one of them holding a weapon. Spear, sword and club.
Do goblin fight?.
He can't imagine them be able to weild big weapons.
Arthur stared at them open mouthed.
{Race: Blue goblin }
{Strength: 10%}
{Magic: 7%}
{Mana:0%}
{They are the weakest goblin of the cave goblin race.They are the dumb ones.}
Arthur read it on the screen. He sighed.
His first quest is hard.
How can he beat them and level up? Even though they are the Weakest he still feel their auras from here.
The goblin shrieked at each other.
I have to find a way to defeat them. Arthur thought.
He is taller and smarter than them.
He had to think of something.
Just as he was thinking and tried to move he stepped on a stone that made a noise, and alerted the goblin.
They sprang up from where they were seating and raced to where Arthur's is each of them holding their weapons at him.
Arthur raised his hands up."I am sorry. It was mistake to come here. I don't want to do any quest again please can I go?" Arthur spilled.
His heart skipping. He can't just fight them, He doesn't care what the system says.
The goblin sneered again with their teeth and closed on Arthur with their weapon's.
Dumb, Arthur thought. The system is right.
Maybe they are dumb after all.
Before Arthur could think of something to say.
One of them drove his spear towards Arthur.
Arthur gasped and quickly sidestepped before it could get to him. The spear struck the rock behind Arthur.
Another goblin threw his dagger at Arthur.
Arthur bent down in time to dodge the dagger but with a swish past his face and cut his cheek.
he groaned.
They are really trying to kill him.
Another goblin jumped at Arthur, but he raised his dagger and stopped the sword.
Arthur yelled as he used his might to push the goblin sword away and drove his leg into his stomach.
The goblin rolled away, hit his back on the ground. Then sprang back up, angry.
The five of them attacked Arthur.
The boy drew back, dodged the first attack of the club and peered it away into the rock behind him.
The goblin kicked him in his stomach.
"Ah,"he grunted.
He didn't understand. Somehow he was a little fast and swift. He didn't know why, he hadn't killed any goblin and leveled up.
He looked at the goblin.
He just has to focus..
They are weaker and he could see how slow they are.
One rushed at Arthur with his club, Arthur dodge his attack and kicked him in the head, He closed in immediately and sliced his neck.
The goblin fell to the ground.
{Leveled up}
The system notified.
A wave spread through his body and he felt lighter.
Another rushed aimlessly at him.
Arthur jumped a little and kneed his head to the ground and stabbed him.
The third goblin threw his spear at Arthur.
The boy pulled back and sidestepped then made to go after the goblin but the goblin stretched his hand forward and a blue light spark and shot at Arthur.
Hitting him and making him fall on the ground.
Arthur groaned.
So they really do have magic.
He slowly got up. His hand hurt from the magic impact.
He should have known,he looked at the goblin.
He can reach there, he is disarmed.
Arthur smiled.
He bent down and picked a stone, threw it in the direction of the goblin.
Just as he expected, the goblin shot his magic at the stone, Arthur closed in immediately on the goblin, before he could comprehend what was going on, and stabs it.
He looked at the remaining two goblin who sneered and glared at him.
Arthur maintained his stance.
But instead of attacking the goblin rushes into the darkness behind them.
"What" Arthur looked at the goblin as they fleed.
He sighed.
He should leave them.
It doesn't matter right?.
He thought as he sat on the rocks. Suddenly
His breath arched, his limbs became sore.
His body feels heavy.
How is this possible?. He was just in high spirits a minute ago.
And now.
{Quest: clear the green cave.}
{Not completed}
"What?" Arthur stared at the screen.
He just cleared them out.
He had thought the system wouldn't mind.
{You haven't finished your daily quest, you haven't cleared the cave of the goblins. }
Arthur clenched his fist. His leg was about to give away under him. If it wasn't for the dragon water, he would have been on the floor.
But the system is just telling him to go on.
His mom would be worry where he might be.
He didn't tell her anything before accepting this quest.
A loud growl woke him up from his thought.
Dark, and menacing.
The air became cold all of a sudden.
The horde of goblins in from of him are hard to ignore.
There they were dozens of goblin each holding weapon.
Arthur froze, as he saw the two goblin that had escape a minute earlier.
They stood at the front of the groups.
What had he done. He looked at the herd of goblins.
Just then the familiar screen appeared.
{Warning: blue goblins often fight in pack or horde}
