Chapter 5 First Kill

huff...., huff....., A tenacious bastard it is. I had to strangle it for hours before I could bring it down on its knees, even then it still struggled by scratching its paws on my body.

It's aim wasn't straight because I was on its neck but it succeeded on giving me marks on my body. The marks are not fatal so I will survive, but if I had let go just a little bit, I would have died.

what a stubborn beast it is.

[ding]

[you have successfully killed a Lv1 wild dog]

[hundred experience point gained]

[you have leveled up]

Damn it..., After all that pain I went through, it was only a Lv1 wild dog. On second thought, I should be grateful I managed to survive an encounter with it.

Even though it was only a Lv1 wild dog, it was still bigger and faster than I was. If I hadn't made use of my brain, no doubt I would have died.

After my Lv went up, I felt all my fatigue and pain washed away, At the end of it all, it is a win for me and a loss for it. The body will also stock up my food reserves.

I now have the time to take a look at the blue panel. Notifications were coming in at the time when I was facing the wild dog so I didn't have the time to check it all, I only focused on the notification that could keep me alive and that was the Dirt ignition notification.

hmm...., here it says enlightenment of current situation acquired. Enlightenment means to know, to understand. The enlightenment only appeared after I decided not to assume this world was a virtual world but instead to convince myself that it was indeed a real world.

Going by such logic and with the appearance of the enlightenment that seems to assure my resolve, This world is no doubt a real word.... It also brought up this weird broken words that looks like a code message.

Human=goblin Cub...., hmm....,human=goblin Cub?..., hmm..., hmm...

This blue panel that follows me around says goblin Cub on the race category, Assuming the blue panel is a sort of an health notification app that shows my health status, It wouldn't be weird if the race category also indicates what I am, A Goblin.

I don't know much about the goblins but one distinctive feature used to always describe them is their green skin, there is no doubt about it now, I am a Goblin.

[ding]

[racial acceptance has been attained]

[enlightenment Lv2 > human-died-soul transmigration-goblin Cub]

....!

After accepting my race, the enlightenment leveled up and I gained new knowledge. I a human who died by drowning and had my soul transmigrated into the body of a goblin Cub.

I got this much information just from accepting what race I am, It seems the more I deduce my situation, the more the enlightenment will level up and the more knowledge of this world I can get.

It will be really helpful if I can level it up quickly so I can know all there is to know about this world, like the saying goes, information is power.

Time to try out what I had in mind. Yes...., it worked. Just like how I activated the Dirt ignition skill by simply thinking of it, I tried doing the same to the blue panel.

I thought of the blue panel no longer showing up on my face and boom...., it is gone. This will be helpful for when I face my next opponent.

It does help me to see in the dark but at the same time, it obstructs my field of vision. I need to get my eyes used to the darkness rather than have a light that incapacitates my sight.

It is weird though, hearing the word soul transmigration. I thought transmigration were a thing that was only possible in a Fantasy and not a word that should be intertwined with reality, never would I have imagined that I would have my soul transmigrated into another world and in the body of a monster no less.

ahahhhhah....., This is frustrating. Why couldn't I have been born as a charming prince or even as the son of a wealthy merchant?

I will even take being the son of an ordinary human family to go rather than being a monster that has to start killing as an infant

Hmmm....., Maybe this is God's way of punishing me for killing myself. I can't be blame for that though, If I had not drowned myself, those loansharks would have eventually catch up with me and sell my body parts, and rather than wait for that, I chose the easier way to go.

It is not like explaining will change anything now. I have to accept what has happened and to only look for ways to overcome it.

It is high time I get out of wherever this place is, It is no longer a safe place for me to stay in and that wild dog....

On earth, wild dogs are animals that move in packs of twenty, thirty and many more. There is no telling just how many this wild dog's pack is and there is also no way of knowing if it even has a pack to begin with. Whichever it is, I am not staying to find out.

Before I go, I should claim my trophy and finish up the meat in my front. It is bad manners to leave food unattended to, Especially for an infant like me.

I don't know when else I will be this lucky in hunting, that is why I need to eat whatever I get at every opportunity that comes my way.

wow....., Thinking like this, I realize a little bit more of how hard it is for the animals on earth to eat.

when I was being chased by loan sharks, I still had something to eat even if it is just a little. But animals have to hunt to eat, if the hunt isn't successful they might as well forget eating for that day

there is the energy that is burned away while trying to hunt and also the likelihood of getting injured like me. I already lost an arm when trying to hunt a Lv1 wild dog, I wonder what else I will lose in my next hunt for survival.

sigh...., This isn't how things are supposed to be. If I am an infant, shouldn't there be a mother to do the hunting part for me...

oops...., I forgot..., Mother died of hunger and I ate her leftover corpse....

I am sorry mother, This unfilial son of yours did it only for survival. I won't blame you for giving birth to me in this harsh condition so please over look my sins unto you and guide me through this harsh surroundings.

I have been granted a second chance at life and I intend to live it for a long time. I will live for as long as I can, it doesn't matter what I have to do to guarantee that but I will do it.

This world, I will see it through.
