Adventures Of A Goblin

?I remember now,

I got the skill after i had a near death experience.

.....?

Damn.....

My luck is really shittier than I had thought.

It would have been better for me to not have gotten any skill at all compared to me having a skill that will send me to the brink of death.

Just imagining how the spikes will come out of my body is enough to give me an eternal trauma.

Sigh....

I should at least be thankful that my dirt ignition skill has leveled up.

Skill, Dirt ignition.

hmm...

So the range of effectsl has increased by just a feet?...

What the hell is the point of the level up if it is only going to increase by a measly one feet?..

There is no difference in it between it being in Lv1 and upgrading to Lv2.

I thought a Level up meant getting better, but it seems that is not so for this world,

Or maybe my luck is just one that is too shitty to abide by the rules of this world?...

Whatever it is, I have come to a conclusion that I am unfavored by the God of luck.

The same can be said for you, you pitiful little rascal.

Imagine dying a death by suicide.....

puhuhwuhau.....

Sorry, sorry.

I know I should not be laughing at someone else's death, but damn this is just too funny to forgo.

I was already out of strength and energy, if you had just been more patient and waited for a little while longer, no doubt I would have died a natural death,

But no.

You just had to really stab me with that pointy hand of yours and end up causing your own demise.

your luck must be even shittier than mine it seems. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Because of that I managed to survive, so yeah, thanks for being stupid.

I do have to say though,

This claw mantis is a level five monster while I was a level seven monster, and yet I still had a hard time defeating it,

Why is that?...

It is obvious that I am two levels above it so I should have had the upper hand in that fight but instead it was the reverse.

If I remember correctly, when enlightenment leveled up, the explanation I got for Level was a status bar that determines ones overall capabilities.

according to my level, my over all capabilities clearly outmatched the claw mantis's over all capabilities, but yet I was still almost defeated by it.

There has to be an information I am not getting right.....

Something I am missing.....

Something I am sure is what can piece the confusing information back in a direct line.

Or perhaps, is the system lying to me?.....

No....,

No matter how shitty it is, it has no reason to lie to me except of course if it wants me dead.

But a system that wants me dead would not go so far as giving me skills that will aid in my survival.

Then just what can it be....

Wait a minute...,

I know what it is now.

Evolution differences.

Back then, I was a goblin Cub, with an height no less than ten inch or so,

This claw mantis before me has an height of close to sixty inch.

Even though my level is higher, the height difference between us is just too massive to overcome with level.

Of course there is a possibility that this monster just happens to have an enormous size as compared to the goblins but that is not the case in this situation.

If it was like that, then I could have overcome the height difference with the level advantage,

I was not able to do that because it is an evolved form of its specie while I am still at the starting form of my specie.

In a simpler quote,

It is like having two pizzas, one without toppings and one with toppings.

In this case, I am the pizza without toppings and the claw mantis is the pizza with toppings.

Knowing that makes me feel even more shitty so I will no longer pry on that matter.

hmm.....

I thought gaining such knowledge will level up enlightenment but I guess that wasn't enough to do it.

Alright, time to get moving.

clearly this cave has proven itself several times over to not be safe for me to stay in,

I really want to ask my mother why the hell she would think it was a great idea to give birth in this habitat.

Thinking about it now, how could I have been so stupid as to think that there would be a safe place in this hell.

Before I go, i need to feast. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

But eating a mantis would be weird even for me,

It has got nothing but exoskeleton with no meat, of what use is a monster without a meat,

No way am I eating something like this.

Is what I want to say, but before I knew it I had already started munching on it.

My appetite really is no joke.

Phew.....

And that concludes my meal for the day...

"hisss....."

Or maybe not,

It seems you are living with a partner,

Shucks, good for you.

Another praying mantis with the same color and body type came barging in with what seems like a fierce look on its face, not that I can tell.

hmm.....,

Are all praying mantis bisexual?

Because i can't see any sorts of difference to tell them apart.

Not that it matters to me though,

Just have to do what I have to do to ensure my survival.

Skill activate, Body strengthening Lv1.

I cut of the dead praying mantis's claw, saved it to use it for this purpose.

With the claw in my hand, I charged at the praying mantis in my front,

I pressed my foot on the floor, used it as a foothold and lept really high.

Before the praying mantis could even move, I swung the claw and dismantled its head from its body.

Come at me ya bastards.
