I look out the window, there were still no traces of the monsters, I observe the structure, of the train, through the windows only goblins could enter, unless supernatural beings like ghosts or ghosts approach the train, in which case if I have not awakened I will be dead, since the power of the quality of fear is useful to face those beings.
"It wouldn't be a nightmare if I were on the train after waking up; although that wouldn't have given me the assurance that I was safe either."
A few minutes later, I ignore the sounds caused by the chaos inside the train and notice dozens of footsteps. I look closely and see the goblins moving around the train.
The passengers enter into a major panic, soon after hundreds of goblins crowd around the train, their footsteps can be heard on the roof.
Some goblins, climbing on the dogs and the shoulders of their companions start banging on the windows, and they don't stop salivating.
Crack!
A window breaks at the front of the train, I am in the middle, I see the passengers at the same time that dozens of goblins enter, the first to be dragged out of the train is the inspector.
-Nooooooo!
The inspector shouted desperately, but it was useless, outside you can still hear their heartbreaking screams, they say that the goblins don't like the flesh of the old people so they just have fun torturing them. If what happens in this nightmare is an illusory projection of what happens in reality, it seems that the habits of the goblins are true.
The goblins continued dragging some passengers outside and others only began to devour them inside the train.
The goblins bit off limbs first to ensure that their prey suffered while being devoured.
Two goblins jumped at me, I dodged one, the other I grabbed by the neck and plunged the dagger into his temple.
[You have killed for the first time: Terrifying reward].
[You have killed a 1-skull monster: +0.5]
"I choose the ten points. Place them in the quality fear."
Since I already know the options I wasn't going to delay waiting to see more notifications.
Immediately I feel my senses begin to sharpen just like the first time I woke up, I turn around and plunge the dagger into the other goblin's neck and hear his neck crack.
[You have killed a 1 skull monster: +0.4]
The gains have already started to diminish, but I stay focused and run to the back of the train where the goblins have already entered as well, incredibly the man who outraged the woman before is still alive. As I pass by his side I take the trouble to pierce his temple with the dagger.
[You have killed a human: +0.09.]
"You definitely don't get much from humans without the fear quality."
While advancing among the people I saw a man vomiting blood at the moment when the goblins' hands open his stomach and begin to pull out his organs to devour them.
Through the windows of the train you can see the heads of some passengers impaled on long poles held by some goblins riding the killer dogs.
The atmosphere is chaotic, there are screams, blood, pieces of flesh and so on everywhere.
In a corner of the train, hidden among some suitcases a little girl holds a teddy bear, the goblins threw down the suitcases and reached her, she was dragged outside.
[The host has awakened fear]
"i choose the profession of hunter."
I jump towards several goblins that are in my way.
[You have killed a 1 skull monster: +0.4]
[You have killed a 1-skull monster: +0.4]
[You have killed a 1-skull monster: +0.4]
...
I start killing all the goblins that are in the last car of the train.
[You killed a 1 skull monster: +0.4]
[You have killed a 1-skull monster: +0.4]
[You have killed a 1-skull monster: +0.4]
...
I choose the last carriage as the best place to stay alive, since my back is against the iron wall at the end of the carriage, I can only face the goblins or whatever is coming from in front of me.
In front of me is a hallway that was once simple and old-fashioned, but is now a macabre scene painted red.
Outside the train I can still hear the piercing screams, and the sky is just beginning to darken.
••••
A few hours have passed, I find myself in the last car
surrounded by dozens and dozens of goblin corpses, no, maybe hundreds, but I
keep seeing how they enter through the windows of the train, and I hear the
killer dogs barking loudly from the outside. Although it is already night,
there is some clarity, apparently the sea of clouds disperses at night, which
allows the two moons to illuminate the surroundings, that must be the reason.
"System, how many fear points have I accumulated?"
[Fear points available: 55.6]
My stamina is on the verge, the fear is already running out,
even though the goblins are only 1 skull monsters there have been a lot of
them. In the advantageous position I'm in thanks to the iron wall at my back,
what I need most is stamina and fear, although I can't rule out strength.
"System, place 25 points in the fear quality, 20 points
in endurance, and the rest place it in strength."
With the increased fear, my hunter senses become sharper and
miss nothing in the environment, it's even more impressive than when I faced
those guys in the dormitory, I feel like I could kill them without that much
trouble in my current state.
[You have killed a 1 skull monster: +0.25]
[You have killed a 1-skull monster: +0.20]
[You have killed a 1-skull monster: +0.20]
...
As I slash the approaching goblins with my dagger, blood begins to spurt into the air. Other goblins I hit with my fists to prevent the dagger still containing the three spells from deteriorating.
"I got stronger and the experience I get went down after using the fear points. That's why I waited to use them."
