Well what should i do now i mean wandering of without a plan seems like a quick way to getting killed although staying here would probably get me the same result, so i guess i should try to come up with a plan or a goal. Let’s see what I need is knowledge and power yes those things can be my goals for now although I’m alone in the woods so getting any information is probably impossible even if i get to a settlement i would probably get killed for being an undead. Power however is much easier to get since i can get stronger by leveling up and raising my skills, ok that’s my plan I’ll go and level up which means i am pretty much just going to walk around the woods hoping to encounter something i can kill “sigh” well i guess i can train my skills while walking.

  some hours later.

  well my mp seems to recover faster than i can use it now, so I guess i could fight forever now that’s pretty handy and i can even make the smoke take the shapes of animals now,,,, eh do i talk to myself more than usual, well i guess talking to myself is a way to keep sane in solitude i think. Well whatever ill just,,, is that goblins hm they doesn’t seem to have noticed me what should i do ambush them or follow them. Lets see on one hand they might be walking to their nest filled with a hundred goblin, on the other hand they might be going to their nest with a handful of goblins and some loot that may or may not include some actual clothes,,,, well if there’s more than i can handle I’ll just run away i don’t get exhausted after all.

  the goblin walked around and checked traps that Richard hadn’t noticed, catching rabbits, squirrels and mice.

  they are pretty ordinary for being monsters, hm is this how it feels to watch a primitive people live, well that’s pretty funny in a way maybe I should do this again sometime.

  they reached their camp that consisted of over 20 goblins and 4 tied up naked dirty women.

  hm what should I do i guess i could attack and hope for the best or i could retreat, in one way that would be the safest option but seeing that they built traps they might be able to track me back and attack me during the day. Lets think about it a little hmmmm what a difficult decision well I will probably have to fight them one day better to just get it over with I’ll sneak behind a goblin and “Crack” (the goblins turned towards him) eh what i meant to say I’ll fight them head on in an honorable way.

  the goblins rushed towards him.

  haha you think you weaklings can defeat me take this death fist (enveloped his hands in miasma and dark mana) haha take this you mere goblins I’m the strongest hahah.

  cloaked goblin: gobababa.

  the goblins spread out.

  eh what are they

  the cloaked goblin fired of a mana blast with the fire affinity.

  Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  eh ahh this hurts this shouldn’t happen

  goblin mage: goba hahahaha.

  the goblin mage fires of another mana blast.

  ahhh dammit am I going to lose to a mere goblin no I refuse to.

  the goblin mage fires of another mana blast but this time things went differently.

  i can do that thing too mana blast.

  When they collided the fire got cancelled and the darkness faded away.

  goblin mage: goba?

  yeah see i wont lose that easily.

  the goblin mage was confused by the events that were happening, a young girl or maybe a boy seeing how it was dressed had stumbled upon their camp, and when it tried to sneak away was discovered. That’s was fine since getting more livestock or food was a good thing but then that child no that thing in the shape of a child started attacking his underlings with incredible force, this couldn’t continue so he ordered the goblins to get out of the way so that he could use the power only he a goblin mage could use “mana blast”.this worked better than he could have expected and then he realized that the creature was an undead which made him confident, since even though undead was pretty much unbeatable during the night in physical combat they were extremely weak against magic especially fire magic which he had an affinity in, so this should be an easy fight or that was supposed to be the case but then the undead used a magic the goblin didn’t know that countered his own. That shouldn’t be possible undead are too stupid to be able to wield magic. In panic the goblin mage ordered the other goblins to attack but there strength wasn’t enough to overcome the undead’s superior stats and resistances, but this was just a distraction the goal was to distract him from noticing the spell his kind had passed down through generations.

  goblin mage: gegobog (fireball)

  the undead gets knocked back although some goblins perished in the attack it wasn’t a big loss for the goblin mage since they could just make more later, for now it was more important to see the undead being burned to death by the burn effect of his fire ball.

  am i seriously going to die again why did it have to be fire couldn’t the first magic I faced be something,,, no i wont die ill use my own magic to snuff out these flames.

  he released all his mana and covered himself in it drowning the magic in the flames extinguishing them.

  ILL KILL YOU.

  with those words Richard launched at the goblin mage as the other goblins was to dumbfounded by the events. The goblin mage couldn’t think clearly enough to use fireball again and opted for mana blast instead but Richards black cover nullified the mana making it useless, as Richard came with in reached he grabbed the goblins neck and crushed it before giving a roar that made the rest of the goblins to run away.

  some minutes later.

  well that was not what I expected and now I’m naked again, “sigh” fire magic really is the worst well i better check my status, hm eh that’s a surprise is that even possible well i better try it out.

  he walked towards the captured women that was cowering in front of him.

  well if this was a story I’m probably supposed to make them my companions or have bridge the gap with the locals.

  He raised his hand against one of the women “fireball” a black sphere shot out from his hand but it didn’t burn the woman she simply died.

  so it’s not a fireball but a dark version of it I guess.
