《Trials of the Seven - Dawn of a new age》Goblin Hunter - Micheal
Advertisement
Finally, My dream had come true. Life was like a video game.
I pulled out my sword when I saw the target ahead of me. A Green bastard known as a Goblin. With one more kill I would be level five and be able to get a new skill.
The goblin was feeding on something alone.
This was my chance.
I ran forward as quietly as I could. My soft leather boots hardly made any sound on the asphalt.
My sword swung down on its bare neck.
This was my method of hunting the goblins I had seen so far.
I always waited and watched them until they were distracted or alone and finished them off fast.
I hadn't seen a goblin that could withstand my blow as most of them I had seen were level one. This one was no different.
It's head separated from its body with ease.
I breathed in deep and pulled the mana back away from my sword. The edge had a blue glow that slowly faded.
My phone gave me the buzz I was looking for.
I opened my stats page and spread out my five stat points, two into strength and one each into constitution, stamina, and wisdom.
I bent down and placed my phone against the body of the goblin. I had to see what my prize was.
The goblin's body glowed, On the screen it showed the Goblins Inventory.
"Score!"
The corpse of a rat, three copper coins, a goblins story book, and a leather sword belt.
I left the rat in the goblins storage but took the rest out. This was the first goblin I had seen to carry a book. I was curious as to the contents.
I put on the sword belt and placed my sword in it. The sword moved freely from the belt to my hand in a more fluid and faster manner then pulling it from my inventory every time.
The copper coins each had a square cut out from the center of them and a wide lip on the outside that was rough to touch. I pulled out my collection of copper coins from my inventory. When I did so they came out in a small pouch. I slid the three new coins into the pouch before putting it back away in my inventory.
The book I held onto.
There was a grin on my face from ear to ear.
The reason for that was my skill points.
Each level I had gained one skill point.
My first three I had spent on Health stamina and mana regeneration. The next five were on the skill Spell Sword.
With Spell Sword I was able to infuse my mana into any sword to increase the damage it dealt. This was the blue glow from my sword.
I had two points left over when I had left home to try and hunt goblins, trolls, kobalds, and the other evils of my video games. I had gained three more one for each level before five. Now my skill points had gone up by another five.
I opened my skill list and was looking through the list of available skills. I pulled out my notebook to check for the ones I wanted from my first examination of the list.
The point values had changed.
I had thought that I would be able to get one of the bolt types soon since I had eight points. They were ten on day one. Now to me they were fifteen points each.
My smile slowly turned into a frown. None of the skills that I had wanted were in reach any more.

Slowly I walked my way down the road to wards the roof of the store that I had been sleeping at. It was an old convenience store that had a broken staircase that lead up to the second floor.
"I'm back!"
My voice echoed off the nearby buildings.
I stood there waiting for the rope ladder to be lowered down.
"What is the secret password?" I put my palm against my forehead. My younger sister Mia was up there with our grandma.
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel wont you please let down your hair?"
Her face beamed as she looked over the railing and down at me. The ladder might of been too heavy for her to carry but it was fine for her to just push over the railing where I had it set up.
I climbed the ladder and she wrapped her arms around me.
"I made a friend today!"
"You did?" I picked her up and held her as I pulled up the ladder.
"Yeah, He was walking down the road. Green people ran away from him!" I looked over at my grandma who was sitting there knitting a blanket.
"You are the one who put her on watch." I shook my head and put Mia down.
"How do you know he is your friend?"
"He gave me candy!" She held out a chocolate bar. Grandma just smiled and kept on knitting. "I asked him and he gave it to me!"
"I didn't see him before you ask. by the time I got to the ledge the creatures and the man were all gone." Grandma was old. when the world went to hell she refused to believe in the system and never received any skill points.
Mia seamed to be too young to be an adventure too, At five she had received only one skill point. I made her put it into health regeneration just to play it safe. I didn't want anything to happen to her after all.
"So, What did you bring me today!" I looked at Mia and showed her my empty hands.
This was her favorite magic trick.
My hand glowed and the goblin book and three colouring books appeared on it.
I clapped my hands together and then turned and presented the four books to the sky.
"DUN DUN DAH!" I screamed out and held them like a certain hero holds his found items.
She laughed at me and clapped excitedly.
I placed the books onto the table and she looked through them.
"This is a story book!" She held up the goblin book. "It has my friend on it!"
The cover of the story book looked like a pathway or a road with a person walking down it. The person was covered in smoke.
She opened up the book and started flipping through the pages.
I sat on the outdoor couch and she moved from the table to cuddle up next to me.
"Here I will read to you!" She opened the book. The words were not in any language that I could understand but there was a picture on each page like a children book.
"Green people are bad!" The page had three Goblins on it, each one held onto a different kind of weapons.
"Green people ran after pretty girl!, RUN GIRL RUN!" the girl was running while the goblins were behind her.
"The girl got away!" The girl had run into a hole between the trees.
"Green people were mad!" The three had steam running over their heads. I had to admit her story made sense so far.

"The large man tossed the green people into the hole the girl went through." I couldn't tell what kind of creature this large man was, but he did look like he tossed them or at least sent them after the girl.
"The green people went and looked in different places." the three goblins split up, One to a forest, one to a mountain, and one to a beach.
"The mountain green person thought he had found the girl." Their was a mountain in the background a city ahead with a girl walking towards it.
"The green person tried to hurt the girl, Oh noes!" The girl was on a street and the goblin was jumping at her.
"My friend saved the girl!" A man was standing in the place of the girl. The goblin looked confused.
"My friend scared away the bad green person!" Something had knocked over the goblin and it was sprawled out in front of the man standing there.
"The green person ran away!" The goblin was alone outside of the town.
"The Green person called his friends!" Eight goblins were drawn here.
"This made my friend angry!" The man was seen behind the goblin horde.
"Green people went to sleep as the man passed them! Night night green people!" The goblins were all on the ground behind him but running while in front of him.
"The Man was cool!" smoke was rising from the man as he was the last page of the book.
"The end!" I was sure that this story played out differently to the goblins who could read the language, but from a child's point of view it worked.
"Okay Mia, I think it is time for you to go hide with Grandma for the night." The sun was starting to set. Soon the goblins would be coming out of their hiding places for them to hunt them selves.
"Awe but Mikey what about my friend can he come too?" I rubbed her hair gently messing it up. No child should have to live through a world like this, but her smile was enough to ease my heart and give me hope in a better tomorrow.
"I will keep an eye out for him while I am on watch tonight, okay?" She nodded and Grandma took her inside the small apartment.
I stood looking over the mart sign at the street below me. This town was my home and I hated seeing it like this.
Six goblins passed by carrying two packages between them. One package was leaving a trail of blood behind it as what ever it was wrapped it leaked the fluid.
"I can't believe they captured Karen!" Two men walked slowly behind them, One carrying a large black sword the other a black long bow. They were speaking English.
"Is it really something to be that excited over? I mean she is -" The one with the long bow stopped mid sentence and looked almost right at me.
I stood still. Both of them turned to face me. My heart hurt as I stood there. Who ever they were, they were bad.
My instincts told me that I needed to run away or that I would be dead. My heart told me that if I left my sister I might as well be dead.
I was frozen between the two choices.
"Common, I don't think I can stop them from having their way with them if we don't hurry up." The man with the sword started running after the goblins.
"Somebody saw us." The hooded man kept looking in my direction.
"Oh no the shadow man is coming to get us," The Sword guy turned and showed a fake scared face towards the other. "Grow a fuck'n pair or is that bow on your back just for decoration?"
The two started back down the road.
I don't know why but I followed them.
I climbed down with out using the rope ladder and stayed a block behind the two.
The guys went down into a subway entrance.
Every piece of my body screamed not to go down.
The stairs at the bottom had stains on them that I didn't want to question as to what they were.
My feet moved down the well worn out cleaned pathway. I could no longer see the two as they walked down into the dark.
My feet dragged forward and I caught a glimpse of the hooded man standing by a doorway.
Screams came from behind the broken door. I moved to be behind some box a homeless person must of used before.
The screams died down and I could almost make out the words the guy was saying. The hooded man and two goblins went back the way that they had come.
"If you touch them before I say you can I will cut off you dick and feed it to you." The sword guy came out from the room. The goblins looked scared of him as he was grabbing them by their members.
Two goblins left with the man while the two he had threatened stayed behind at the doorway.
Two, I can take out two.
I tried to pull my sword out from my inventory, I felt like my heart still was screaming no, get out of there.
I didn't move.
"-twelve of them, I don't know where they found the other nine but three are from our school."
"The world has already ended boys, now you just have to think if you want to survive the party or die here."
The hooded man and the sword man were leading more guys down the tunnel. The new guys were surrounded by the four other goblins. The sun was starting to shine down into the tunnel.
Mia was going to be scared.
The guys were louder as they went inside the room.
I didn't want to hear what they were saying.
I didn't want to hear that poor girls screams.
I hated my self for not having the strength to do anything about it.
Everything quieted down.
The goblins say around facing each other with some carcass between them. It looked human.
I swallowed the vile that was trying to push its way up my stomach and tried to control my breathing.
The room started to echo with screams. A lot of different screams all at once.
The goblins rushed into the room.
Something blocked the sun from the stairwell. It was moving down towards me.
Their was a scraping sound as something dragged its way down the metallic railing.
I couldn't fight back my instincts any longer. My nether regions dampened with warm liquid as the thing moved closer.
The screams from the room died down, only whimpering was heard from the room.
The six goblins came out with their weapons drawn as they finally were able to hear the sound of the thing coming down the stairs.
More and more goblins started to come from the room, all of them about half the size as the original six.
I lost count after the thirtieth one, but they all ran towards the entrance way. The goblins passed by me with out noticing me at all.
Something smacked against the cardboard box I was behind and ripped it apart.
I ran for the room and closed the door. I didn't want to get caught between the goblin horde and what ever they were fighting against.
I slowly turned around. afraid of still being surrounded by goblins.
I wasn't expecting to see a girl with her legs spread apart on the table behind me.
I tired to look away and see if there were any dangers to my life in the room.
The only thing I was unsure about was the red light source in the room.
I pulled a blanket from my inventory and covered up the girl on the table.
Ten sets of eyes focused on me at once.
I froze trying not to look down past their faces.
I failed. The older ones were stunning to look at, with flat stomachs and ample breasts. The younger ones reminded me too much of my sister to ever think about looking at.
My blanket storage ended up near depletion.
I cut free all twelve of the girls and the one on the table went and hugged the only one that didn't notice me.
Only one of them moved from their place.
"Karen, speak to me!" The redhead from the table was shaking the last girl on the floor.
The other ten just watched me as I moved around the room.
I could still hear the fight going on outside the door but I still chanced a glance.
At the bottom of the stairs stood a man, One single man.
His blade danced as the goblins moved near him. They still had the numbers advantage. The six bigger ones were nowhere to be seen.
The little goblins died one after another with each passing second.
The mans shadow moved at a different time then his body. His eyes were jet black and it looked like he was covered in ever changing tattoos.
The last of the goblins fell and the man vanished in what looked like a black puff of smoke.
The girls were all right behind me as I turned back around.
"The goblins are gone." My voice cracked like I was going through puberty again. The girls all stood there.
I opened the door for them but they just stood there.
"They don't trust you Mr. Hero." The short redhead was supporting the blonde with a vacant look on her face. I backed out of the door and slowly walked backwards towards the stairs.
The twelve followed me.
The short redhead was the only one who had life in their eyes, the rest looked like zombies as they followed wrapped in their blankets.
It was creepy.
"Grandma, can you please lower the ladder and put Mia inside?"
I glanced up as my back had finally hit the wall of the store. Mia was leaning over the edge looking down at me with her face all puffed up angry like.
Mia hit me with the ladder before Grandma could put her away.
"Go, It's safe up there."
The redhead came and stood beside me looking up the ladder.
The youngest one dropped her blanket and started climbing the ladder. I turned away red in the face. I didn't carry any spare clothing in my Inventory. I felt sorry for them.
One by one the girls all dropped their blanket and climbed up the ladder.
The redhead was last.

8 86Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.
