《Goblin Conqueror》Chapter 2 Things to do
Advertisement
Ok, so where am I?
Hmmm...despite it being so dark - I can still see clearly, being nocturnal, must be a goblin trait.
Ohhh I am butt naked, I will need to do something about this later.
I observe the area for about a minute.
This must be a cave, it's very small for a cave, though it's a perfect fit for me.
I will use it as a base, for now, it's not a bad start.
Alright, let's start planning...
First I need to meditate...
I usually did this in my previous life in order to clear my mind and handle difficult situations.
While meditating...
[Leonidas AKA GobiLeo - level 1]
[Race - Goblin]
[Skills]
[Spear Mastery - level 1]
[Blessing of the Goblin God]
What is this? My Stats?
This is some pretty cool stuff, it will be very useful.
While pondering the situation I was in, I decide to do a few things.
First, I need to know my body's limits:
So after a light warm up. I start to do a little bit of shadow boxing and because I did extensive kickboxing training in my previous life, despite being a goblin, it was very easy for me. My old training routine enabled me to familiarize myself with the movement a goblin.
This body is very weak physically, I would say about the strength of a kid aged around 8-10, but at least I am very agile, well I'm not expecting much for a goblin.
The second part of the plan meant going outside to search for water and food.
Oh, lucky me, a river - right outside my cave.
I used the reflection of the river to check how I look like. As I thought, I am ugly as fuck...
Green skin, pointy ears and two sharp canines.
Anyways I drank my fill, but this won't be enough.

I start by searching for a thick tree branch and after finding one, around 4ft long, which looks very tough I decide it will do for now.
I sharpen the spear's edge using rocks near the river.
[Weapon Crafting - level 1 - can craft primitive weapon]
Another weird text.....
This is one of the reasons why I chose the Spear Mastery skill because a spear is relativity easy to make, a club wouldn't be too bad either. However, a spear is far more effective when comes to killing.
Right after I finish crafting the spear, I start moving to search for prey.
While searching I avoid some scary looking beast, a Giant Spider, packs of wolves and a giant snake/anaconda lol. Damn this place is dangerous, I need to move very cautiously, one mistake could lead to death.
It took around 1 hour, but finally, I was able to spot my first prey. Yes, it was rabbit again......
It's a weird looking rabbit, it has a spike on its back, like its spine is the spike and it is also popping out, it looks very sharp too. I'm assuming this rabbit would be very agile, chasing it down would be a bad idea. I need to utilize a surprise attack.
I move very slowly making as little noise as possible, I hide in a bush which is close to the target and ready my wooden spear, with this the ambush was set, I just need to make it move in attacking reach.
I grab a stone on the ground and then throw in front of it, after that the rabbit raises its ears, and the spike on its back starts pointing upward, it starts running towards my direction, perfect, just as planned, and when it is within my range, I immediately jump out stab it in the side of its body, it was successful, the rabbit died right away.

Level up!
[GobiLeo - level 2]
I ate the rabbit raw, at first I was hesitant, but I needed it to survive, surprisingly it is very tasty. I took the spike and hide inside my cave.
My next target is a black rabbit although this one is a bit different, it doesn't have a spike on its back, I climbed the tree to get a better look.
It's in a group of 6, looks like they are eating, lemme have a better look... gulp... they are eating a deer! These are no ordinary rabbits, they have sharp claws and sharp teeth, they are carnivores, due to their numbers I wouldn't stand a chance. I need to get out of here, but.
The tree branch I was in snaps, and I drop to the ground.
Ughhhhhh I stand up, right in front of me are 6 rabbits with sharp claws and red glowing eyes...
Shit!
I ran as fast as I can without stopping , it took me a while but I was able to out run them, damn I need to avoid those.
I hunt down 5 more Spike rabbits until night time, they are actually quite common - in the area around my cave.
I level up to level 3 then 4, apparently levelling gets harder as you level higher, at level 1 I needed to kill 1 spike rabbit, at level 2 I need to kill 2 spike rabbits, at level 3 I needed 3, if theory is correct in order to level from 99-100 I would need 99 rabbits to kill... That's a lot of rabbits..... I took the spikes and hide them inside my cave, they could be useful later on.
I gather a bunch of leaves outside and after laying them down in my cave I use them as a bedding for now after that, I went to sleep.
It's been a week now since I was summoned.
I am now level 15, I notice getting a level is hardly noticeable, but after level 10 my fighting capability improved by a bit.
Right now I don't need an ambush to hunt spike rabbits, I am agile enough to catch them in a chase. I also hunt the small snakes and bats that wonder into my cave and I take the poison sacks from the snakes and hide them inside my cave.
My daily routine,
In the morning I would practice wielding my spear to get the blood flowing. Afterward, I eat from my stockpile of food - created from the food I save up every other day. Then the hunt begins.
However, today is different I will be hunting further away and search for new prey.
Hmmm, there not much prey around here I need to go even further.
As I was searching, I saw a group of people.....
Humans.....
1 adult male holding a shield and sword wearing leather armor, two adult females with short swords and who wear leather armor, and a brat who age looked around 10-12, they seem to be hunting a monster.
Out of curiosity, I tail them very carefully. It seems that they are helping the brat to level up, they corner their prey and inflict a reasonable amount of damage but don't kill it - then they let the brat deal the finishing blow.
An hour passes, I start to become bored.
Ohhh finally, something has caused them to become excited.
"Boss this is a good one hehe"(adult male)
"Great go catch it! That should grant a huge boost to my level"(human brat)
They all nod and proceed to their target.
Hmmmmn?....
Wait.... Isn't that a goblin?
End of chapter.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

8 2775The Daily Diary of a Mushroom
I was just a farmer and when my farm was attacked by bandits I fought them off as best as I could, but it turns out a single untrained woman fighting a band of twenty experienced killers doesn’t end well. Thinking I was dead I awoke to find that I had no arms and was only one ft tall. I have been reincarnated as a Mushroom Monster. What am I going to do now?__________________________________________________________________________This will be my first attempt at any kind of written novel or story, I have had a lot of ideas and tried writing some but realized they were too big in scale or too difficult for a newbie. So after thinking about what I could try for my first attempt, I came up with this. The premise is quite heavily inspired by Re:Monster (also more recently Re:lovely) and many other resurrection web/light novels. Warning Tagged [15+] for Some Strong Language, Gore, Violence.
8 203Old Version - The First Magician
INDEFINITE HIATUS I always seem to make these too long when I ask for peoples opinions so I’m not gonna try an exciting description anymore but instead just give you an idea of what to expect. First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far its coming together much faster and easier. So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also I tend to confuse your, you’re and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. The First Magician follows the story of 15 year old Alex in a post apocalyptic rpg-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic. Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana. Many classic RPG elements have been removed. I didn’t want the story to be like all of the other lit rpg stories on RRL but it also makes the writing easier for me hence the watering down of rpg elements. UPDATES: I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though ive managed to keep up with 2 most days. CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content. Sexual content isn't super likely as I doubt I can write it well but I put the tag so people cant yell about it if I add some in the future but forgot to add the tag. COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/s6V3hGV

8 109Reincarnation
A original story that depicts the life of Sera a Demibeast that is the reincarnation of two souls. The story will depict events that happened in her life as she is thrown into the turmoils that await her throughout her journey. With no memories of her past(Which will be in the first 6 chapters so no mystery here) she travels the lands slowly crafting her legend. Author note:Thinking of a description is harder than writing the actual fiction T^T. I initially wanted to make it shorter but minimum 100 words for description so here is author note to hopefully use up the 100 words XD. Btw this is the first description i have ever wrote so i don't expect it to be good but hopefully its acceptable. :D
