Chapter 9: Fight.

'Sorry. I ain't a killer but I need skill points.'

Breaking away from the staring contest with the stupefied goblin, Felix sprang forward using his left leg and slashed the knife right at the poor monster's eyes by swinging his hands.

Finding that a human was already this close without his knowledge, the goblin wanted to retaliate by raising his blade, but the knife was too fast as it slit its eyes from the left side of his huge forehead and came out from the right side.

"Krieeiewek!!"

The monster let out a furious shriek as he felt tremendous pain that almost made him pass out and quickly raised his blade to stab the hateful human. But Felix was faster, soon after slashing the knife he kicked with his leg exactly on the crotch of the furious goblin.

"Kwek!"

The goblin let out a disgusting growl as he held his aching jewels. But before it could feel any more pain, something sharp entered its chest and made it fall to the ground.

Laying on the floor, the goblin gradually lost consciousness.

[Ding!]

[You have killed a being higher than your own rank]

[You have gained 10 skill points]

"Huff! Huff!"

Felix squatted down on the ground breathing for air. It seemed that it was the most his body could do at the moment.

Gazing at the goblin's corpse right beside him, he hesitated a bit before slowly poking its arms with his finger to check whether it was still alive.

'It's still warm.'

The monster had rough skin and it did not feel good touching, so he stopped doing that.

He couldn't bring himself much closer to the corpse to confirm whether it died or not.

'Well the system already gave me the reward but I'm still a bit suspicious of it.'

Deciding to place his trust in the system's ability, he smiled as he gained 10 skill points.

"System, show me my status"

[Affirmative.]

[Status]

[Name: Felix]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 14]

[Sex: Male]

[Mage Cultivation: Rank 0]

Sadly, there was no one to answer him. He had to either go left or right from there.

'There's no other choice, I'll have to go in any one direction.'

Standing in the middle of the path as he deliberated on which direction to go, Felix found a small stick nearby.

Picking it up, he balanced it between his finger and the ground before letting it go.

The stick stood still for a second and then fell in a random direction.

"And there I shall go..."

Leaving the stick, he took quick steps in that direction as it was starting to get a bit cold and dark.

*****

Felix was still on the road as it became night.

Under the three moonlights, his shadow deepened. Yes, this world had three moons.

Looking at the dark sky adorned with twinkling bright stars and three beautiful moons, he couldn't focus on the road and walked slowly.

'Wow, this is just so amazing. I bet those sky lovers back on earth would get a nose-blood staring at this scene.''

"growl-"

He broke out of his thoughts hearing the pitiful sound his stomach was making.

"Sigh...This again."

Well, it was not the first time this happened but Felix didn't have anything to sate his hunger.

His body was getting tired from all the intense fighting and running and he felt like resting but his hunger did not allow him such luxury.

So he could only limp forward to arrive at whatever was on the other side of the road.

Suddenly he sniffed a faint sweet and aromatic smell that made his tummy tremble with joy.

"W..What is this smell!"

So hungry that he felt it was a dream, Felix hurriedly went toward where the smell was coming from taking quick steps.

He saw that a bit forward on the road, there was a medium sized tent on the right side where a few people were camping out.

They surrounded a bonfire where they were heating some meat jerkies with sauce and vegetables.

"Oh dear, finally something to eat!"

He gulped at the mere sight of it but stopped himself from running over and grabbing them.

'I'll eat that no matter what I have to do.'

Felix suddenly felt motivated as he planned to steal their food, without realizing that something else was lurking in the shadows as it eyed the humans.
