Chapter 4 - Ambushed

The goblins were pretty startled when I woke up. They backed up as soon as I tried to stand up. I held my dagger in front of them and they were slowly trying to get near me.

"Shit... *pant*" This wound is deep. Why didn't I notice it before? I'm inside a forest and I entered a random cave. That's already a red flag for me. "What do you want?"

"Skrie?!"

I didn't understand a single thing they said. "Status, translate."

[The Translate is a skill therefore its not accessible by the system until unlocked by the user.]

"Great. System, analyze goblins."

[Speed-Type Goblin x1, Tank Goblin x2 and Archer Goblins x2.]

The goblins were pretty scared whenever I spoke. They had no clue what I was saying. They had no choice but to charge.

The Tank Goblins with their shortsword and shield tried to ram me in the wall but seeing as how small the are goblins I used my dagger to stab the two Tank Goblins on their open head.

"SKRIEEEEEES!!!"

"Heh you guys angry?" I can't keep this up for long. I'm bleeding so much from my leg.

Knowing I can't move well, the Speed-Type Goblin charged at me full speed and the two Archer Goblins behind him supporting him.

"What?" I noticed that this Speed-Type Goblin wasn't as fast as the one I saw before. It was actually pretty slow. A bit faster than Tank Goblins. I dodged this Goblin's attack and counter attacked with a vertical slice on him. His body was cut in half.

The Archer Goblins were pretty scared of me now but they have no intention of retreating. I don't have much time I'm bleeding a lot.

"COME ON!"

The remaining 2 goblins were scared but they continued fighting me despite all of their comrades dying.

Seeing as my state I can't last long enough I decided to charge in.

"Skrieeeee?!"

The other Archer Goblin got me with one arrow. I finally got near them and pierced the Goblin with my dagger and the other one a taste of their own arrow.

"Crap... I'm losing consciousness... Hmm.. if what I'm thinking might be possible..."

"System Devour Tank Goblin."

"Yes!! HAHA! I'll take Heal. Tanks always have heal skills if there are no Healers nearby."

[Gained skill Heal]

"Heal!" A green essence was focused on my wounded leg and healed it. It didn't close all the way so I need to this at least 2 more times.

After a while, I healed it completely. Since there's this many goblins I'll take your skills.

"Wait aren't these useless for me? Hmm... System, what will happen if I get other skills that are not suited for me?"

[Abyss has no class and all buffs and active skills will be converted depending on what weapon or armor you are using.]

"So an Abyss class person can adapt to anything. System may I ask, what does the other classes' starting stats?"

[Other classes start at all their stats boosted to 100]

"Crap. So that's why the God said good choice. This class is very weak early on. Well no choice. I'll get Archer's Enhancement."
