The goblins surround Alan. They grimace and sharpen their knives. The sounds of their daughter becomes louder and louder, Alan has nothing to do, he has to fight. He readies his stance. A goblin slashes his back. Dang it, there's too many of them. Another throws dirt in his eyes. And another slashes the tendons in his ankles. Another jumps on his head. Another pisses on him. Another Another Another... After the goblins are done, Alan is barely alive on the ground. He thinks to himself over his life. It's so unfair, he just wanted to be happy, together with his family. Why did his family have to contract mana sickness? Why did he have to awaken as an F tier player? Why was he so weak? Why did they have to fight against the goblin champion? It's so unfair. If only he had another chance. As he crawls, trying to run away from the goblins. A small, green figure walks up behind him. Lifting its club and swinging it down. His life has finally ended.
*The god of bloodshed and cruelty smiles.*
*The god of bloodshed and cruelty blesses you with a curse.*
All of a sudden, Alan opens his eyes to see the champion walking away and the goblins swarming him.
"Didn't this just happen? Didn't I already die?" Alan questions himself. As he thinks a goblin catches him off guard, slashing his back.
"Shit, next it's my tendons!" Alan jumps forward, dodging the slash. He turns around and punches the goblin, then snatching the knife it was holding.
*You have obtained the unique skill, Determination(?)*
*You have obtained skills, Regeneration(F)*
"Wait a minute, the champion said something about their god blessing them with regeneration. Am I blessed by that god?" As Alan questions his reality, a horde of goblins jump on him and kill him again.
He opens his eyes to the same goblins. This time he dodges the one aiming for his back, steals its knife. Stabs it in the eyes. Parries the one going for his tendon. Slashes it. Blocks the dirt being thrown at his eyes. Spits in its face. Stabs its heart out. The goblins swarm him again.
*your skill Regeneration(F) has ranked up to (D)*
"There is no denying it. I'm blessed by the god of this dungeon. But why did he do this? Is it just to watch me suffer?" Alan repeats his actions, 10 deaths, 20 deaths, he is now proficient at taking out the few goblins but he has hit a wall. No matter how, he can't kill a swarm of weak enemies at once before they kill him. He needs more firepower. He punches the goblins again and again and again.
*Your skill regeneration(D) has ranked up to C*
*You have obtained skills, Strike(F)*
*Stats strength 4 -> 10, dexterity 5 -> 9, constitution -> 12*
"Perfect." Finally he has a way to deal sustained damage towards multiple targets.As the goblins swarm him yet again, he lets out as many punches as he can. Each one creating a ripple within the air. When he finishes, he has finally punched his way out of the goblin horde. The goblin champion notices this and turns around.
"Oh? Not bad. I didnt realize it but you are strong enough for me to have some fun with." He smiles ear to ear. Alan prepares himself for his next objective, the goblin champion.
