Chapter 2

I'm nearing civilization

* * *

Lehtrious, the great sword of the Kingdom of Estria was talking to me.

A sword was talking to me.

Well, this was common in isekai and web novels in general.

【You gained the Lehtrious, as your first summon 】

【Lehtrious】

Race: Smart sword

Level: 98

Evolutions: Stage 1

Skills: Slash, upwards slash, hidden blade art, fire blade art, disperse blade art, deathly stab, strike from heaven [more info on skills…]

A status system, well can I check my own status.

【Hitora】

Race: Barely Human

Level: 3

Evolutions: none unlocked

Info: A peasant that randomly dwells the world, having no ambitions in life. It spirits that has formed a pact with it is a legendary sword.

Skill: None

Why is my race barely human? Isn’t that a bit harsh? I found my self in the midst of an endless expanse of forest.

Now what the hell am I meant to do?

“If I may add, I was summoned by your will, if there is nothing needed may I head back into the spirit realm?”

“I didn’t summon you, you just came?”

“No, actually you summoned me.”

“But I never recall summoning you?”

“That’s strange… We don’t even have a pact…”

“Fine since I summoned you, can you at least give me the direction to the nearest town or kingdom, please.”

“All right go north, so go in front of you.”

And I did so, for about and hour or so. It was nearing the night, so I decided to catch some sleep. But there was nowhere to stay.

There was a great cave nearby, it was dark and hollow. I gathered some sticks and placed them down in the cave.

I remember that if you rub a stick together it will light a fire.

I desperately tried, it must only work with certain types of wood. Maybe I should use some magic?

I focused my energy onto my hand. Nothing came out.

Well that didn’t work.

I kept on vigorously rubbing the sticks together, and then gently stroking. A eruption of slimy, white liquid – uh, sorry, I mean a great fire came out.

I was finally warm.

All I need is a sleeping bag, a blankie, and a pillow.

I looked behind me, all there was a massive rock. I took it and sat it down. This will have to do.

I dozed of quickly.

A sudden burst of light came. And a loud ‘roar’ filled the room.

It was a green humanoid goblin, with a foul smell, it smelt like ape shit.

【Dumb Goblin Level: 3】

It charged towards me with it’s club, oh crap. I dodged it.

And punch it’s ugly face, it’s face felt like a sweaty ball of rotten meat.

The goblin stumbles, and swings again, but at my legs, I jump above the club and kick him in the face.

The goblin get’s angry and throws a tantrum, and than comes and grabs me and throws me onto the hard rock.

“goirgdjfjodsjpf!!!!!!!”

It hurts a lot, the pain stutters through my entire body. I was quenched in a pool of blood.

I don’t want to die here!

I hate this fucking dying.

I HATE DYING!

He swung the bat onto me, I caught it and pushed it away with all my strength. I’m going to kill this shit head!

I force my body, and push him onto the fire.

His body bursts into flames. I grab his bat and smash his face with it, and keep on repeatedly doing it.

Ah, my back hurts.

Damn it, will I die.

I will won’t I.

If cover the wound on back it will stop the bleeding. I stumble and struggle to the tree. I pull it around me, and tie it.

【You have leveled by 1, your attack stat has increased by 2 (overall -3) , you also absorbed bat technique. You gained GOBLIN BAT X 1. Your health is restored as you leveled up (health: 40)】

I wished I used the sword , but I don’t even have the mana or even how to summon it.

Ah whatever. I’ll stay here for a while so that I can restore my health, and than ill go and hunt for some food or something.

I had been waiting for an hour, my hunger had decreased a lot. If I couldn’t eat, and I encountered another beast my health and overall stats would infective.

I had no choice but to eat that stinky goblin bastard.

I grabbed it’s thigh and bit into it, it was… delicious, it was the most tasties thing ever. Who would’ve thought this stinky son of bitch would be tasty and he’s a goblin as well.

I hastily chewed the entire goblin till all that was left was his head, groin, and ass. Like I’m going to eat that ass.

But if I ever become desperate… I still have my self diginity, never going to eat a goddamn goblin ass okay.

It was finnaly daytime, I might as well start walking. I did so, the nature and the beautiful and pristine smells of the forest were amazing.

The views and natural landscapes were ethereal and stunning.

But the only thing that spoilt everything were these creatures, it was fine to read about these goblins and mosnters in books or fight against them in games. But they were goddamn annoying in real life.

I held the goblin bat over my back, I need to get some more food. There was a massive egg there, if eat it will my health restore?

I go towards it, and crack it open. I grab it and slurlp out the divine contents, delicious. It was very tasty.

Is everything tasty here? Even goblin thigh was nice?

A great bustle in the bush was heard, *bird caw*

A huge bird came out, it looked very pissed. Actually I wouldn’t call it a bird it was 3 metres long.

【Tharnos bird, Level: 10. Skill: Peck, (legendary skill) Lightning peck】

What the hell is this level 10 monster having a legendary skill?

Are you kidding me, the bird swopped me. And use it’s 【peck 】against me, but I tried to swing my bat, of coarse it would’ve been to fast for me.

I’ll use my bat technique! As the bird dives down, I roll under the attack and quickly stand up and strike it down!

It stayed down.

I ran away, I don’t want to fight this goddamn bird! It’ll use it’s legendary skill, and I’ll die.

So I ran far away.

Finnaly I had arrived near the first sign of civilization. A man in a tiny temple sitting in the lotus position.

I seem to have caught his eyes, he looked at me.

“Hello I am Gristriu, who might be you?”

“I am uh Hitora, nice to meet you. Could you tell me where the nearest kingdom is?”

“Hmm… Hitora, the path to the kingdom is dangerous you will have to cross a long stretch of water, maybe I can teach you a magic spell, or even hand you a qi gathering manual?”

“Uh okay, i might take that it will be handy.”

After a while he taught me the basic attack spell and how to make an elixir. So I had two instant regen elixirs and a new spell!
