Adventures Of A Goblin

?It races towards me with its dangerous looking body, and I ducked out of its way just in time before it got to me.

Phew,

That was dangerous.

It produced out spikes from every parts of its body and fires it all at me.

Skill activation, Meta Strength.

With my body physically enhanced, I managed to evade the spikes that were falling like rain.

Skill activation, thorn Manipulation.

I have been through a lot of hurdles after I got out of that hole.

I challenged monsters of different species and kept on using my skills against them.

Thanks to that, almost all of my skill have leveled up beyond Lv5.

The lowest skill Level I have now is Lv1 and that is cannibalism.

I have not had much chance to use the skill because it only activates when I am faced against goblins as my opponents.

Throughout my countless succession of killing and hunting, I have yet to come across other goblins like me.

As for my other skill that have leveled up beyond five,

They have all become more useful and efficient for me to use in battle.

Take the thorn Manipulation Skill for example.

Before, I was only able to produce thorn from any parts of my body.

But now, I can not only just produce thorn, I can now cloak my body with said thorn.

For now, the only part of my body that I can cloak up to with the thorn Manipulation skill is my two fists.

If I were to go any further than that, I would be overusing my mana guage.

It is essential that I try to minimize my use of Mana to the lowest input possible.

If I were to run out of mana during a fight, I would be spelling my own doom.

No mana equals to no skill activation, and no skill activation equals to having to rely only on my body.

For lower level monsters, I will have no trouble using just my body.

But for high level monsters like this porcupine monster, I need my skill to be available to use at any moment.

Besides, my fist is what does the job of making contact with my opponents,

That is why I deemed it the most important place for me to focus the thorn Manipulation Skill on.

With thorn cloaked to my two fists like a glove, my punching power becomes even more destructive unlike when I am bared handed.

Another reason why I am prioritizing only cloaking my hand is because of this monster.

Its outer body is made of spikes

, and I do not mean just its upper body, I mean every layer of its body is laced with spikes.

I can't touch it with my ordinary fist without attaining some damage,

But with thorns cloaked on my two hands, I will have no problem with making contact with it.

I charged at it, and hit its body with my fist.

The cloaked fist broke through its porcupines and went further to attack its soft spot way below the spike's range.

It immediately curled itself in and rolled its body away from me.

This is one troublesome monster I am dealing with here.

Its body shape gives it an advantage of long distance attack and swift evasion.

I jump to the roof and pressed my legs deep in it to spring me to the monster.

It reacted by sending the spikes my way.

Skill activation, Dust Manipulation.

I gathered the dust around it to rob it of its vision,

I then performed a four sixty in mid air and used it to change my tragectory.

If I had just gone ahead straight, my final destination would have been facing the porcupine monster head on.

But after the stunt I pulled, I was able to avoid the spikes that was aimed at me and attack it from its side.

The monster once again coiled itself and ran off a distance from me.

Whenever I am this close to getting to its soft spot after destroying the spikes, it folds itself like a centipede and runs away from me.

While it is running away, it also releases spikes aiming at me from its body.

If it was the me of before, I would be panicking if I am faced with an opponent like this.

It's Advantage structure is no different from the scorpion.

Adept in offense and defense, making it an almost impregnable fortress.

Well, that is about to change thanks to the new skill I created.

Once upon a time after my fight with the scorpion,

I contemplated on what I should do if I ever end up meeting with another specie like the scorpion.

Do I run and risk being chased down?, or do I stand and fight?.

That was the two choices I had, and it was obvious which one I needed to pick.

If I plan on getting strong enough to not be belittled by anyone, I needed to cross any obstacles that come my way.

I need to become stronger than I could ever imagine.

I needed to kill as much monsters as I could.

For me, running is no longer an option.

No, it was never an option to begin with.

It is do or die.

And I have chosen to do and not die.

To help me in achieving my resolve of not dying, I produced a skill.

Yes, yes.

I know what it is you want to say.

How did I do it?...

How do I always come up with insane ideas for a new skill creation?

That is what most of you all must be thinking right.

Well I have to say, even I am amazed by my awesomeness.

I must be some kind of skill creator genius in my past life.

"....."

Ho wait.

I was a debtor In my past life.

"....."

I do have to say though, one of the tricks to creating a skill is desperation.

If your life is on the line, then I assure you that the desperation that kicks in will push you to the very limits to thinking of ways to survive.

That is exactly what happens to me and also made it possible for me to think of creating a skill that will keep me alive.fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
