《Life as a solo gamer》Chapter 11 - Herbs
Advertisement
Well then, Let's grab those herbs Immediately. I saw a bunch of them in the forest next to where I killed that goblin.
Those herbs were dark gray that's why it's so easy to remember.
I hear extremely loud laughter behind me. That I had to block my ears.
As I walk down the street. "I can't wait to get some decent clothes later. I'm getting tired of all these eyes on me... For god sake I don't even have shoes, let alone socks."
I reached the gate and I see the same guard that helped me out yesterday.
"Hey-" I don't know his name..."Hello there sir, thank you for the shirt yesterday."
"Oh, hey it's you from yesterday your throat is fine today huh? So what brings you here?"
"Oh, I accepted a quest from the Adventurer's guild to pick up some herbs"
"Ah!, I see, you are old enough, but be careful there's a bunch of wandering goblins nowadays."
"Thank you, I'll be back soon."
"Good luck."
I retrace my steps to where I came from. Took me 4 hours. Since I don't know 'Exactly' where I came from.
I found the spot where I killed the goblin.
"The herbs aren't here...? Did I make a mistake?"

Let's just search for some maybe I can find 30 who knows.
2 hours later.
"I haven't found 1! 1!!!!!!! What is this bullshit? is it an uncommon herb? or a fucking Unique treasu-"
"Bugoeeta"
"Holy shit!"
Skill acquired 'Crisis detection(LV1)'
A goblin appears, it was hiding in a hole and it was covered in leaves.
'Inventory' I take out my knife and parry the strike the goblin made.
Huh? why am I so calm in this situation?
The goblin rushes me with his knife trying to pierce me.
I side step. I'm not falling for that again.
'MISS'
'Miss'? even that happens huh? No time for that.
I use my knife and pierce his head. The goblin drops on the ground and dies.
'50 XP gained'
"I feel bad killing this thin-" The feeling instantly disappears.
"What is happening to me? My mind always calms down immediately when something happens."
'Status'
I appraise everything and I found what is happening.
'Gamer's Mind
Calm's the mind'
I'll have to wait when my appraisal level is higher so I can get more information.
"Right now it's level 2 if it was level 1 I bet would it say something like 'Gamer's mind, the mind'"
Anyways, the goblin dropped 35 copper coins but this time no knife.
"How weird the goblin's body is still here. Let's wait awhile."
5 minutes later.
It disappeared now, wait could it be that it takes awhile to disappear because it gives me time for me to like take body parts and shit? Like say I kill some pig and just leave it there, it will disappear but if I take it and cook it or place it in inventory will it not disappear? I have a lot to experiment in the future.
"Oops, I forgot I have to find the her- wait, what's that?"
I look inside the hole that the goblin made to surprise attack me. And what was filled inside surprised me.
"I... don't know what to say..."

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.
