Chapter 12: My Adventure in the Wild (1)

Outside Winter City...

"Remember honey, if you can't fight, there is no shame in running away and hiding", my mom said while hugging me. She was worried about my safety and I couldn't blame her for hugging me tightly, even to the point of embarrassing me in front of the whole city.

After all, today is the day I start my adventure in the wild. This was a tradition that was started by the founder and every awakened has to take part in it.

After awakening, everyone has to spend nine months in the wild. Except for some initial resources, everything has to be earned by oneself in the wild. One can return before nine months are up, but would mean that they failed.

Not everyone can survive in the wild for that long away from civilization, not after enjoying the benefits of civilization for more than a decade. Many give up and return, after a month or two in the wild. Even among siblings, Eritrea, survived in the wild for a full eight months, before she got mad and returned.

This was the highest among my siblings. I want to survive the longest but can't guarantee that. Everyone would boast that they can survive in the wild the longest but once they enter the wild and live for a few days, everything changes.

They give up. Maybe I'll too. Even in my past life, I grew up in a town, not the wild nor a village which is the closest to the wild. I'll try to survive, and if I can't I'll just give up and return home. There is no shame in that.

"I understand mom. I'll run back home if there is any danger", I said smiling.

When my father heard those words his face twitched. Even though he wanted to say something else, "Be careful out there and return home", were the words that came out of his mouth.

I snickered inside my mind. He may be a powerful Viscount outside but not in front of Mom.

It was not just the couple dynamics or something. It was simple. My mother is a Tier-6 Storm Mage, while my father is a Tier-5 Spear Knight. She is more powerful than him and easily can beat him.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'll see you in a few months", I said as I started to walk towards the Orlum Forest, which is on the West of the city.

If they find them, they will use them for themselves or their family members.

Now let's see what this bracelet can do.

--

Species: Goblin

Possible Rank: Tier-0

Possible level: 1-5

Info: Goblins are two-legged monsters who has a bit of intelligence but are too savage to be considered as a sapient creature. Even after they rank up, their Intelligence increases but their savagery doesn't disappear.

Weakness: As usual, eyes are the weakest of the creature. Most of the goblins don't have magic. They use swords and axes. So a long-ranged attacker can easily take them out.

Caution: The lower goblins are always physical attack creatures. Only when you go after higher goblins, you need magic protection.

Never attack goblins when they were in groups, unless you can absolutely overwhelm them swiftly. There might be a chance of other goblin groups nearby. If they hear the cry for help from the group, they would swarm you and kill you.

Hmm, it appears basic but it is kind of what everyone needs to know. Now let's see if I can get rid of this lone goblin before more of them comes.
