"200G... enough for four lottery draws."

But should she draw it now or wait until she has enough for ten draws? Suddenly, at the right side of her shoulder, there was a chibi angel with wings while on the left of her shoulder was an evil chibi with horns and tail. Both started their little antic show on her shoulders. The evil chibi told her to draw it now with its gesture while waving the pitchfork weapon on its hand, while the angel one told her to hold on her d.e.s.i.r.e while flapping its wing around her. It was weird looking at the chibi of her imagination, which seems precisely like her.

'Do it. Let your d.e.s.i.r.e burn!'

'Don't do it!'

'Do it!'

'No!'

After pondering for a few moments, Sheila shook her head and put down her phone. She decided to save up the gold until enough for ten draws. Her luck for today sucks anyway, might as well do it when she was lucky.

"Gugagaga."

It slowly walked toward the feeling that was calling it. It doesn't know what was calling it nor what was it currently feel; it was an idiot after all.

After walking for who knows how long and far, it stopped.

"Guga?"

It looked in front of it and titled its green head to the side. What it saw in front of its two eyes was... an opened spatial crack at the height of 5 meters. It didn't know what is 'spatial crack' is but it didn't care. Beyond the space, it could smell a very delicate smell as it drools.

"Gugagaa!"

It shouted wildly while swinging the club around in its hand before rushing into the spatial crack. The moment it entered the space, the spatial crack disappeared as if nothing was there from the beginning.

Lunch at School Cafeteria.

"Hey, have you heard? there seems to be a psychopath killer who has murder two people with a blunt weapon, and their remains are in a horrible state... it was as if been bitten by something sharp like that of teeth on some part of the flesh."

"Ew. what the poo! I'm eating right now, dude!"

"I have the picture here on my phone, wanna see?"

"Dude, get the hell away from me! I'm telling you now, or I will kill you!"

Sheila looked at the two students who were on the verge of fighting as she eats silently on her table. When the boy spoke of the incident, it was reasonably loud enough for everyone close to them to hear it. Sheila and Cilia are one of them.

"Do you hear that?"

Ria asked. Sheila answered with a nod as she gulps the food down her throat.

"Did you believe such a thing?"

"...I guess. I have been hearing people talking about that on my way here after all."

Sheila frowned after saying that. She wonders what kind of psychopath would do such a thing and why, if the incident happens somewhere far away, she probably won't care about it.

But it happens in the district she lives in. She has passed by the scene of the incident and saw the surrounding of it filled with cops on her way to school. She had tried using presence detection but didn't find any kind of reaction from it on the scene.

"The world these days is very dangerous isn't?"

Sheila nodded at Ria's words. She is not worried about herself getting caught in such incident but instead worry for her mother and the person by her side. Maybe she should investigate the incident around the district for the murderer and try to end the case. Although she doesn't have any skill in investigating, she got a sharp sense which she thought is enough.

Once she found the murderer, she should call the cops and secretly followed in case the person tried to run away. But she didn't expect that the murderer was actually not human.

"Guga!"

In front of Sheila stood the figure of the murder case that involved four people by now. The club stained with blood on its hand was the sore proof of it. A green skin, ugly face and with the height that of a child. Although it was as short as a child, it is definitely not one to be looked down upon. Even a child could kill someone if they were given a knife. The figure in front of her was none other than the most famous fantasy creature of all times, Goblin.

Sheila looked toward the beaten up figure with blood all over the body on the right side of the goblin; thankfully, the man was still breathing. This was the fourth victim that the goblin has come across. Fortunately, all the victim so far was a human male instead of female. Knowing the goblin lore, she knew that they would have met a fate worse than death.

Sheila let out a sigh as she ponders, she thought the murder case was just some psychopath running wild which was why she went ahead to try to catch the criminal and with her current strength, she was confident that she could beat whoever it is. But she didn't expect that the culprit was a goblin. A freaking goblin. 1

"Where did this green creature came from anyway?"

Just thinking about it already brings her a sense of danger and headaches along the way. Is it as she thought of in the past, that the world is getting invaded by the creature from Other World? Sheila shook her head at the trouble thoughts. Whatever the case is, she had to kill the green creature in front of her first before thinking about the danger following up after it.

Thanks to the <Presence Detection>, she managed to find this green creature in no times with her current stats. Although goblin was known to be stupid with no intelligence, the one in front of her appears to be more cunning than the lore from the game. It was sneakily walking around the corner of the street, devoid of the human presence. It only attacks when it saw the prey was alone and sense that the human has merely little strength.

But the human female standing in front of it now gives off a terrible feeling. It was alarmed, its sixth sense was warning it to run away immediately. But the green creature ignored it.

"Gugaga!"

Human female! That was the only thought it has inside its head. The prey it has hunted so far was merely a food(human male). It's been so long since it has got into some action for its little brother. It was hype with so much excitement that it decided to ignore the warning signal from its sixth sense. Without further due, It immediately rushed to her in no time with the club in its hand. Goblin Slayer, anyone?
