-----_------_------_----__--------_-------_--------_--------_----
With the Goblin Duke death, Oz could relax his tension a little. After resting for a while, Oz pondered and tests the effects of the fully equip and the half equip.
When Oz transformed into the Goblin duke form, he felt a tremendous power filled within his body, all of his stats were heightened drastically, his current stats is way stronger than his former stats.
After testing and checking the power of the transformation, Oz tried the half equip system and changed back to his usual human form. It seems that the half equip does only gave Oz 25% of the goblin duke's power, and he can't use the goblin duke's skill when he half equipped the card.
Now he knows the differences of the fully equip and half equip, he pondered about whether he should use the goblin duke form or only take some stats of the goblin duke. finally, he chooses to transform to the goblin duke form to ensure his survival rate on this dangerous magical forest.
As he about to left using the goblin duke form, he saw something strange at the goblin duke's corpse. There is something floating above the corpse.
A floating status board
[Goblin [duke] corpse {lootable}]
!!!??
The word lootable meant that he could get some loots from the corpse, so he touched the Goblin duke's corpse and suddenly.
The corpse changed into blue particles and only 3 falling cards remain.
[Card of Strengthen [special]
Description: A card containing the skill of strengthening, increases the host's strength for 4 folds for 2 minutes.
Equip
Yes/no]
[Card of leap [special]
Description: A card containing the skill of leap, leap to your enemy with 10 folds of your agility.
Equip
Yes/no]
The card of strengthening and leap has the usual deep blue color and golden design, but the goblin corpse card is jet black with golden designs.
(Finally, I possess an item card huh)
After checking and preparing all of his possessions, Oz starts his adventure again, and he was hoping to find a place with civilization as soon as possible.
By transforming to a Goblin Duke, Oz strolls around leisurely as his prowess is reassuring so he could calm down a little, but with a terrific boost on his stats, he doesn't let his guard down a tiny bit.
Oz walks through a lot kinds of trees and he collects all types of the fruits that he hasn't seen, thinking that fruits from here maybe could be a fortune for him when he arrived at a town. Every fruit he encounters looked kinda strange and mystical before, and the longer he uses his goblin duke form he starts to saw all kinds of auras from things.

A fruit containing fire attribute mana will have a red aura enveloping it, and fruits containing a water attribute will have a blue aura enveloping it. As Oz observe the fruits he encounters, The bigger the mana that envelope the fruits, the stronger the mana attribute contained in the fruits.
He collects all the fruits he saw have a lot of manas as he strolls the forest. Since he came to this world and summoned to this forest, he walks to only one direction, that is south, he doesn't know why but he felt that south is the right way for him.
In the middle of the journey, Oz met an Ectra python, it's a huge python as big as an anaconda, it has a deep green color and terrifying teeth. It shoots poisons and attacks with his teeth and strangles with his long and powerful big body.
But, however big and strong the Anaconda is, its prowess is still at the [viscount] class, the stronger the nobility class of the magic beast the stronger the magic beast is, it's one of many things that Oz learn from this forest.
After killing the Ectra Python, the transformation card reward for killing the species for the first time is gifted, and Oz loots the Python.
The loot that Oz got from the python is only the corpse card and a white skill card.
So there are 4 types of Special cards, Blue (S), Red (A), White(B), and Brown ©. And each type has different qualities too, the blue card is more elegant and artistic, and the white card is a little plain.
[Evil Gaze [Special B-] [could be upgraded]
Description: A card containing the skill of evil gaze, Stuns your enemy with a terrifying gaze for a moment or kill your enemies who have a low mental defense with deathly fear.
equip
yes/no ]
(Looks like a white card meant that it could be upgraded until it maxed out.)
After testing the power of the Ectra python, Oz tried to half equip at while in the goblin duke form, and it turns out that it is impossible, but when Oz half equipped the goblin duke form, he could half equip all other transforming cards too and it gave him a great boost to his human form strength.
(it means that if I collect all other species cards, I would be invincible!)
While checking the power of his human body while half equipping all other cards, his perception sensed something dangerous coming to his way. The dangerous thing getting near Oz at a terrifying speed, in a split second some creature suddenly dashes to Oz's.

*Sound of explosions*
The impact is far bigger than the goblin duke.
Oz crashed to a tree because of the impact.
"Ugh.." Oz Groaned.
As the clouds of dust fade, the ferocious creature reveals its magnifying figure.
*Roar!!*
It's a huge Lion!
A jet black lion with a jet black and majestic mane!
"Appraisal!" Oz shouted
[Type: Darkness Lion [Duke]
level: 266
Strength: 400.000
Agility: 100.000
Vitality: 4.000.000
Mana: 800.000
Spiritual: 200.000
Skills: -strengthen -Dark magic -Wind magic -Leap -superhuman strength -ruler's aura -evil gaze -Leadership -Shadow magic -Deathly Roar]
(Such strength!)
(It's way stronger than the goblin duke! Even though it had the same class?!!)
The darkness lion roared and starts to wreaking havoc once again, all animals like insects, birds, and small animals run as fast as they can to avoid the disaster of the darkness lion.
Oz stood up, "Goblin duke card transformation!" he shouted, and he transforms to the goblin duke form.
With his goblin duke form, he had more hp, so he thought could survive another attack without getting a severe injury. He starts to analyze the situation, a little while back before the darkness lion dashes to his place he utilizes his Qi to protect his body, with his strong qi and the powerful body of goblin duke, he thought he could withstand the attack of the darkness lion.
But, the reality is cruel, the darkness lion strikes once more and arrived at Oz position in an instant. Oz crashed to a tree again because of the terrifying impact. Following the stats, Oz should be able to avoid crashing but he still got crashed to the tree and couldn't withstand the impact.
"Shit!" he shouted and spit some blood.
(It seems this world is not simple as I thought, from the stats it showed, my Qi together with the goblin duke stats supposed to be able to withstand it!)
(The darkness lion seems to have another power besides his strength!)
Oz is smart, he could analyze the situation and size his own self without exaggerating his capabilities. From what just happened, in only 2 strikes from the darkness lion, Oz had got 2 deep scars at his shoulder and his back. If he continues this battle, he will end up dead. After some hesitation, Oz chooses to run from this terrifying beast.
He took a stance and runs as fast as he could by using both the speed from his stats and his Qi, right at his 3rd step he got blown away by a terrifying wind, he fell but he stood up quickly and flee once more, the beast is desperate so it uses wind bullets to make Oz blown, it never thought that Oz survive that strike and continue to flee.
After running about 2 hours, he felt that the darkness lion had stopped chasing him, Oz checks his own body, he got some serious injury because of the wind bullet, his torn clothes have soaked with his blood. His eyes become hazy and his conscious starts to fade away, Oz struggles to stay conscious, but it seems that it's futile.
His wounds are too deep, and he doesn't have any medical tools to treat his wounds, he could only hope that the goblin duke form self-regeneration could save his life, Oz fell and faint at the middle of the dangerous magical forest.
at dusk, a shadow is walking around the forest, he brings a sword and a bow it seems he came here to hunt. The huge human-like figure is very similar to humans if you see him by his appearance, the only difference is his dark green skin that states that he is not a human.
!?
He saw a figure lying in the ground soaked with blood.
it's his brethren!
(A goblin? A duke! What is a distinguished figure doing at this corner of the forest? as I remember the only goblin duke in this forest is me!)
(But, this goblin seems to be hurt, it's obvious, the deeper side of the forest is way too dangerous for our species, let's save him for now maybe he'll benefit our tribe)
The goblin picked Oz up and brought him back to his village.
------_---------_----------_---------_-----------_-----------_-------------_------_-------
What will Oz encounter at the village of goblins?
Will he survive?
Or will he die?
What will the legendary magician do to face the coming problems?

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

English is not my native language(excuses)) I don't know if this is the so-called Synopsis but it's better than nothing at all.Inspired by The legends of randidly Ghosthound, Everybody Loves Large Chests, Azarinth Healer and 13.Al. PS. Futanari incoming, do not worry not gonna make it sex novel or erotic, maybe some scenes, but that will come later in the novel or maybe not at all, but to be sure I checked the Sexual Content too.
