《The Evolution of a Goblin to the Peak》1 I've become a goblin
Advertisement
Inside a dark room, a young man was playing a virtual game. He was playing the most popular virtual game, Battle World Online.
This young man was none other than the greatest player of the game. No one knows his true identity except himself. Many game clubs tried to recruit him but he rejected them all.
He doesn't had any idea that there's approaching danger. Suddenly, A white light covered his entire room as the virtual capsule, which he resided, exploded alongside him.
Boom!
No one knows what really happen regarding this incident. The people only know that there's a person who died in this incident.
His soul got sucked by something powerful and escape the cycle of reincarnation.
The soul arrived into a completely different world with different systems and laws.
...
"Argh!"
A skinny green creature slowly opened his eyes. He felt a pain on his head. It feels like someone just smashed his head with a metal bat.
"Damn! It hurts!" He pushed himself and sat on the ground.
"Huh? Where is this?" He found himself in an unfamiliar place. He looked around him and saw that he was inside a dark place. There's torches that was place at the walls that barely lit up the room.
"Dungeon?" He was extremely familiar with dungeons as he went hundreds of times in different dungeons when he was playing Battle World Online.
He slowly stood up then he noticed that his line of sight was somewhat low.
He frowned as he looked down and saw his green colored feet.
"Huh? What happened to my character?!" He was confused.
The color of his skin turned into a dark green color. His arms and legs were thin. It looked like it doesn't have any flesh. His haired was gone as he found that he became bald.
He found out that he became a GOBLIN!! WHAT?!! One of the weakest monsters, a goblin.
"Damn! How did I became a goblin? It should be a bug! That's right, it's only a bug!" He opened the interface and found that there's no GM call function.
"Damn! What's wrong with this? I can't find the GM call function!" He cursed as he looked around the interface.
He soon found that there's no Log Out function. He was stupefied. He stood on his place with a dumbfounded expression.
"What's happening?! Why there's no Log Out option here?!"
"Don't tell me... I'm trap here inside this game!"
He fell on his butt with mixed expression. He held his head with both of his hand as he curled up in the corner of the room.
Various thoughts came into his mind. He's having a hard time accepting this generic plot.
After a few dozen minutes, he regained his clarity. He took a deep breath and slapped his face.

Pak!
He calmed down and he began to observed his surroundings carefully.
"That's right! I still have the game interface! With this there's a high chance that I could survive in this world." He quickly took a look at the semi transparent screen in front of him.
Name:
Race: Goblin
Level: 1(0/100)
Class: «none»
Health: 10/10
Stamina: 3/3
Mana: 2/2
Strength: 3[+]
Agility: 6[+]
Dexterity: 4[+]
Intelligence: 1[+]
Vitality: 5[+]
Free attribute point(s): 3
Skill(s): [Dash], [Stab]
Skill point(s): 1
"As expected of a goblin, it's basic attributes is too low compare to other race." He sighed when he saw his stats. He saw that he doesn't have a name and decided to name himself.
He opened the interface and type his real name back in earth.
Name: Souta Ieshi
He nodded when he saw his name on his stats.
Next was his race. A goblin. When he think about it, it's not that there's no player who choose goblin as their starting race.
There's two type of characters in the game. The Monster type, and the Human and Demi type. Humans and Demi are in the same type. Their basic attributes every level were already fixed but the Monsters were not. That's one of the advantage of being a Monster type character.
A Monster type was weak at the version 1 of the game. The players back then bashed the creators why there's a type of character like this. But when the Monster type grew in level they became powerful. A Boss like player.
And the answer is...
"Evolution, huh?" Souta murmured as he rubbed his chin.
This was the advantage of being a Monster type character. Every evolution the character stats will increase greatly and the attribute added to each level will also increase. That's why a high level Monster type character was powerful. The only problem was that the requirement for evolution was hard to acquire.
Souta closed his eyes and recalled every information about the Monster type character.
"If I'm not wrong the first evolution is level 10 and the evolution of Goblin is Hobgoblin."
There's other hidden evolution but in his case he need to level up faster to protect himself from other monster here. Also, he would need a lot of time if he focused on the other evolution. He was having a hard time remembering those detailed things from the evolution. Now that he think about it, his memory was hazy. It must be the effect having only one intelligence point. He could only remember the basic things in his past life. There's no function like this in the game. The intelligence stat were supposed to increased his mana.
"I will see it at that time if I could complete it." He muttered as he looked at his level. The max level of a goblin was ten. He wouldn't be able to level up to level 11 without evolving, so evolution was really important.

Level 1 to level 10? If he could find a good farming site for lower level then it would only take 3-5 days to reach the maximum level.
Let's move on to the attributes.
Souta had 3 free attribute points. He could allocate it to any of his stats. He decided to save it until he met his opponent.
Next is the skills.
[Dash] Level 1: Increase the movement speed by 10% when running on straight line. Stamina cost: 2
[Stab] Level 1: Increase the piercing effect by 10%. Stamina cost: 2
Souta looked at the description of his skills while rubbing his chin. He could only use this in combat as he only had 3 stamina. He need the right timing to use this skills as there's only one chance he could use it in a combat.
He had one skill points. There's two ways to level up a skill. One was to repeatedly use the skill to increase it's proficiency, and the second one was the use of skill points. One skill points could level up any level 1 skill to 2. The higher the level of skill the higher the skill points need.
The skills he had were just a basic skills so he wouldn't waste his skill points for something like this.
"I've finally know my current strength." Souta stood up as he looked around him. He need a sword to execute the [Stab] skill so this skill was crossed out in his mind.
He already finished checking his stats. He's now going to check the Quest Function.
Quest:
1.[Survival]: Survive for five days. Reward: 200 exp and 1 ap(attribute point)
2.[Raid]: Complete the dungeon. Reward: 100 exp, 1 ap, and 1 sp(skill point)
There's only two quest in the quest interface. The [Survival] and [Raid] quest. A hundred exp were enough to let him level up by one.
"Complete the dungeon, huh?" Souta decided to check out the monster in this dungeon.
"It's time to check the level of this monster."
He slowly walked ahead while looking carefully at his surrounding. Soon, he found a skeleton soldier walking around.
"Skeleton soldier, huh?" Souta squinted his eyes as he looked at the skeleton which was armed with weapons.
Skeleton soldier was a low level monster. It's level was between 1-10. It has a low defense but high attack damage.
"Let's do this!" He muttered as he picked up a fist size rock and then he throw it at the side of the skeleton soldier creating a loud "thud" sound. The skeleton soldier turned around when it heard the sound.
Souta quickly dashed towards the skeleton soldier when he saw it turned around. He raised his feet and heavily kick the back of the skeleton soldier.
Bang!
The skeleton soldier stumble forward.
Souta wouldn't give it a chance to recover. He quickly pulled back his fist and launched a barrage of punches.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
He jumped and twisted his body in the mid air. He launched a powerful kick on the skull of the skeleton.
Bang!
The skeleton soldier flew two meters away from him.
Thud!
Souta landed on the ground while looking at the skeleton soldier with a grim expression. He was weaker than he imagined. Even after all that the skeleton soldier was still alive. He felt a numbling sensation on both of his hand.
"This level of defense, a level 5 skeleton soldier."
The skeleton soldier at this time managed to recover from his attack. It raised its sword and slashed it at the goblin.
Swoosh!
Souta shifted his body and avoided the sword.
"That was close!"
He once again launched his combo on the skeleton soldier.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a few minutes of attacking, he heard a familiar sound in his mind.
*Ding*
[You've received 52 exp for defeating Skeleton soldier!]
"Hu~" Souta wiped the sweat on his forehead. Just fighting a single skeleton soldier consumed all of his stamina.
He looked down at the crumbling skeleton on the ground.
He picked up the rusty sword before he sat down.
[Rusty Sword: +10 damage. Durability: 2/5]
He need to rest now as he was already tired after just one battle. After all, he only had 3 stamina.
He decided to use his free attribute points right now as he understood from this battle that he wouldn't last long if he doesn't increase his attributes. He looked at his stats and added one point on intelligence and two points on strength.
He had a sword right now so he could execute his skill, [Stab]. This would raised his combat ability to the next level. A sword coupled with the skill [Stab] were enough for him to defeat the skeleton soldier easier than before.
He added strength because he know that his attack could barely damage the skeleton soldier from before. Skeleton soldier was supposed to had weak defense but from his battle before it looks like the skeleton soldier was a tank.
"With the rise of my intelligence attribute, I would be able to remember all the things in the games." Souta muttered as he slowly stood up.
If it's like that then he wasn't trap in a game, instead he transported in another world as a goblin and the system was given to him as a means to survive. There's also a possibility that he entered the real world inside the game. Well, he wouldn't know it until he see it with his own two eyes.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
