-Vol 3: Enemies in The dark-
-Washing away the shame!-
[Ding* You have entered Level 3 dungeon, Forgotten Realm]
As usual, the system notification popped up.
“So its name was Forgotten Realms!” Kenshin muttered looking at the unusual garden. Actually, this garden had a huge amount of goblins hidden among those bushes. They would usually attack a hunter using dirty tactics, like poison darts or poisoned arrows. Sometimes, they would let loose some weird gases that would paralyze a low leveled hunter for several seconds.
They made up their lack of strength with these unusual dirty tactics.
Kenshin pulled out his UI before proceeding any further.

“Nice!” he muttered.
Although all his physical stats were restrained by the amulet, his magic stats were not. He decided to take it as a practice of his magic skills. But before that, he must invest his skill points first.
He added 40 points to PHY, 20 points to INT and 19 points to WIS.
Instantly, his body began heating up as the magic in his body expanded beyond the limit. A huge amount of information about magic and various things entered his head. It was the effect of increasing his stats. The reactions of his body vary depending on the stat he was increasing.
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes. A trace of intelligence light flashed on his eye. He looked at the UI.
[ATK: 38(80%); DEF: 30(+60)(80%); AGI: 33(80%); PHY: 70(80%); INT: 174; WIS: 61; WIL: 45; LUK: 55]
Since he had applied the point after the usage of the amulet, it wasn’t affected by it. That’s why the increased stats were showing directly on UI without being restrained by the amulet. Right now, his physical stats had become roughly the same as before his contract.
“Yosh.” Nodding to himself, he took the last step and entered the garden.
*Shing!*
Not even a second, and he was already being attacked. A black dart came flying his way, aiming for his eyes.
Since he had decided to not use any physical skills; he used magic. Using pure fire, he constructed a small shield, big enough to stop the dart. With the increase of WIS, his control over magic has increased again. Molding magic became, even more, easier than before. Besides, with a large amount of info dump about magic, he was beginning to understand the underlying principles behind how his magic works.

The dart was burned to a crisp before it could reach him. The shield began to twist unnaturally before taking the shape of a long sword. He pointed it towards a certain direction. The flame sword traveled at breakneck speed and entered inside a bush.
*Boom!!*
It immediately caught on fire. Kenshin’s fire was very hot and easily spreadable. Before long, a large number of small, ugly and green colored humanoid creatures ran out of the bush. They were the goblins, who dominated this first floor. Behind them, his flaming sword was flying. It had already slashed several goblins and burned them to crisp within seconds.
Kenshin was controlling with his thoughts. It’s constantly draining his magic, but he was not afraid. He had enough to spare. Besides, his regeneration had increased again.
The goblins were in a frenzy, as they were busy running away from the fire. They didn’t have the time to apply their dirty tactics on Kenshin.
Now, the whole garden was burning like a bonfire. Had it been outside of this dungeon, Kenshin would have to go to jail for starting such a huge fire.
“Burn! Burn you, bitches!!!” Kenshin shouted from the top of his lungs. He had a crazy gleam on his eyes. His trauma level was more serious than what he had thought.
Actually, Kenshin was taking revenge for what happened to him before. Not wanting to take any chances anymore, he decided to burn down the whole thing to the ground.
It seems he, really, needed to see a doctor.
Before he started slaughtering, he equipped the Elka’s Guardian title. Not only it gave him 50% extra Exp, it also increased his stats by 50%.
With the goblins falling like flies, Kenshin’s EXP gauge rapidly filled up. Each goblin gave him around 50 EXP, with 50% more from title bonus, he received a total of 75 EXP.
Kenshin watched the burning goblins with crazed passion. Its as if he was using these burning goblins to wash away his shame.
Fifteen minutes later, the whole place was burned to the ground. There was no semblance left of that otherworldly garden anymore. What left was a burned down, charred garden riddled with tiny humanoid corpses.
If any historian has to see this, he will have a field day with Kenshin.
“Now left was that three-eyed monkeys!” Kenshin said in a very dark tone. After annihilating the whole goblin tribe of the first floor, Kenshin set his target on the monkeys of the second floor.
Looks like today he will bring extinction to all the species of monsters of this dungeon.
The time was 1:45 AM, the night was still young. He had enough time to let loose his inner demon on this dungeon.
From today; until the end of this month, there would be no monsters left in this dungeon. He will make sure of that.

Protagonist: The Whims of Gods
Book one now also on Amazon! After quitting her job as a therapist and grabbing some work at a dog shelter, Tess's life became pretty slow. A tad boring, even. It thus came as no small surprise when she was chosen by a god. Thrust into a new world where magic, monsters, and character levels are suddenly a reality, Tess will quickly find that just surviving can be a challenge. It doesn't help that dark forces are stirring, she's woefully underpowered, and that spiders keep trying to claw her face off. One thing's for certain, though: The possibilities are endless. Will she end up wrestling a dragon? Becoming an arch-mage? Opening a quaint, bookstore, coffee shop, and wine bar for elves? The choice is hers... As long as she can live long enough to make it. Protagonist is a fairly classic LitRPG novel with character levels, classes, stats, settlements, and other LitRPG elements. Unlike a lot of LitRPG stories, while the protagonist has some perks, she doesn't start off overpowered. You can expect to see her struggle as she advances. This novel also takes the opportunity to explore some less frequently seen builds, shying away from any min-maxing. Chapters are about ~2000-3000 words and are released at 8:00am ET every other day.
