Marcus's eyes were wide, he stared at the intelligence stat and the number went from 51 to 108! It went crazy that Marcus stared at it blankly.
Then after a few seconds Marcus shakes his head, he stared at the tree and the relaxed atmosphere made him smile, the system is broken or should he say his system is broken! No agility he could accept, No class although it hurts but still accept, a sudden increase in intelligence... the system is really broken.
. . .
It's been a few days since the villagers occupied the Deep Sky Village, The chief hall was reconstructed and in the middle was a cool chair made in oak wood. There sat the chief staring at the five people in front of him, "The food has been solved, instruct the villagers who are weak in combat to build a fence and raise some wild boars."
The five people at the front all shouted in unison, "Yes chief!"
Four people walked out of the chief hall, the one left behind hesitated for a few seconds before mustering his courage, "Chief, we noticed that there are abnormalities in those wild boars."
The chief who closed his eyes opened and stared at the man, "What do you mean? they are just weaklings!"
Facing the raised voice of the old chief the man trembled in fear but he gathered his courage and opened his mouth, "The wild boars have become stronger and some wild boars..."
The man hesitated for a bit as he seemed to recall something scary that made his breathing rushed.

The chief frowned, "This man is weak I should let people clean him." He thought as a cold light appeared in his eyes, he stared at the man impatiently and finally the man replied.
"The wild boars normally have the height of 55 - 120 cm... but, but I saw a wild boar with a height of over 2.5 meters!"
Boom!
The expression of the old chief changed, a wild boar with a height of over 2.5 meters? The first thought of the old chief was that it was fake, but when he saw the trembling fingers of the man, his expression turned ugly.
"Call Dave!"
The old chief shouted and the man hurriedly nodded his head before running out of the chief hall. Wild boars have gotten stronger so the weight could be imagined, it is scary if one encounters that wild boar.
The old chief's eyes were changing, from fear to excitement if they could catch this wild boar then the meat must be tasty.
After a few minutes, a man with a muscular body appeared, his eyes were fierce and he kneeled in front of the old chief.
The old chief nodded his head before opening his mouth, "There is a wild boar with a height of 2.5 meters, catch it and bring it to me."
The voice was calm and it traveled into Dave's ears, the fierce expression on his eyes changed into confusion before going back into fierce. "Yes, Chief!" Dave walked out of the chief hall leaving the old chief alone.
"We must gather strength and it should be fast, those bastards will find us sooner!"
The old chief thought as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
. . .
In the forest, Dave and his men walked barefoot, hitting the ground making them feel the great vitality of nature. The birds chirping was like music that these men enjoyed, one of the men walked up to Dave and said, "Dave is the old chief said true? there are wild boars with a height of 2.5 meters?"

The other men also looked at Dave, even this time they found it unbelievable. Ever since the system came into the world these men were strong and with the help of the system, they become stronger. Their status in the village rises and whatever they want will be given to them.
For these men's perception of themselves, they are strong and nobody could defeat them! Those goblins that dared to kill them are now dead, now there is a wild boar with a height of over 2.5 meters. This men's eyes flashed with excitement!
"Yes what the old chief said is always true, be careful over the past few days there are more goblins here."
Dave said while looking at his men, they numbered five men plus himself which is six. They are also strong and they relied on brute strength to kill a lot of creatures, if they caught the creature they are confident that it will be killed!
The arrogance in Dave's eyes slowly appeared, he saw a black ant walking in front of him and without hesitation, he raised his legs and thump! the black ant was dead and there was a deep footprint on the ground.
"What is that?"
One of the men beside Dave said, Dave turned his head showing his teeth, "It's just a weakling ant, let's go once we catch the wild boar we could rest at home and have fun!"
One of the men heard this and he licked his lips, the group slowly walked into the forest. Going deeper while looking for the wild boar. It was at this time that they didn't notice a pair of green eyes were watching them.
One, Two, Three, and more pairs of green eyes started to appear. The forest turned quiet in an instant and growling sounds started to turn louder.
Dave and his men stopped, the body shivered from the cold. They looked around and found that it was so quiet to the point that they started to become uncomfortable.
"Who is messing with us!? Show yourself!"
One of the men started to shout and his eyes were fierce, with clenched fist smacking the air in front of him. His voice echoed into the forest and after a few minutes, the atmosphere turned cold.
One by one they saw the pair of green eyes, and a bulk figure appeared in front of them. If Brandon saw this he would be filled with fighting intent, this is a Goblin Fighter!
However another bulk figure appeared, then another one, and so on. A total of ten Goblin Fighter appeared and an unknown number of goblins hiding behind them.
These ten Goblin Fighter have hatred in their eyes, their body was filled with large veins and they glared at Dave and his men. The air was swallowed by the aura of death as the icy cold glare of Goblin Fighter penetrated these men and headed straight into their souls.
The fear has been born!

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
