Adventures Of A Goblin-Chapter 6 Out Of The Nest

?Time to find my way out of here.

I munched on as much portion as I could of the wild dog's body and used the blood as hydration before setting out to leave my nest.

I have only been in this world for about six days, I think....

The time process of this place eludes me as there is no sun nor moon to discern exactly what time it is.

The point is, I have been here for some time now, and I have already lost an arm while trying to protect myself,

It is obvious that getting out of my nest will cost me more than just an arm, but staying here for any more minute is a risk of encountering the wild dog's pack.

It is obvious which option outweighs which.

I have a better chance of surviving outside of the nest than staying in the nest and sitting ducks.

What I need to find now is a way that will lead me out of the nest...

Hmm....

If I remember correctly, my head was facing upward when I heard it's growling from my left. That means he would have come from that direction.

If I go there, I should be able to see the way out of the nest.

After disabling the blue panel, my vision has adapted a little more to the darkness.

Though I still can't see my full surroundings, I am now able to see three feet away from me.

That is more than enough achievement for an infant if I do say.

Now.....

I am certain it was somewhere around hereee....

ho....ly.... shit.

this....

what the hell is this place?.....

It is scary as fuck...

it is like I am in some kind of horror world.....

Tunnels in most of the walls, with darkness looming all around, that makes it seem like a ghost could pop out of nowhere,

how in the hell did I end up in a world like this?....

Not even a single green can be seen, all covered with rocks and dusts.

This is the shithole I have to live in from now on?....

sigh.....

no use getting agitated now.

If it think about it well, the dust in this place can actually work to my advantage with my dust ignition skill.

The downside to this skill is the range of effect and the power output.

It has a range of only a feet and I can only gather as much as a handful.

If I were to ever meet with an opponent the size of mother, the skill would be useless against her.

Reasons being, I am not tall enough to cover the height range which is her face,

As for the wild dog, I got lucky with it because it brought it face close to mine thus giving me the opportunity to use the skill.

Perhaps if I continue to use the skill, it will level up just the enlightenment skill.

I will try out that theory after I find somewhere safe to stay.

By the way, where am I even heading to.

I just keep crawling with no set destination in mind,

what if end up in the den of a dangerous monster even stronger

than the wild dog?.....

This will not do....,

I can't rely on my skill and I can't assure myself that I won't run into another dangerous monster.

What is it that I can do?.....

In this world that is unkind to me, what can I rely on as my path of survival?....

The only thing I can think of, that I have full control over is my body.

That is right...

What I have is my body.

Ever since I have arrived in this world, the only thing I had was my body.

My body alone can be the deciding factor of if I will get to live another day or if I will end up a monster's dinner.

With my body I can decide what my fate will be.

From now on, I need to train my body.

I need it to be able to adapt to any situation and be ready to give it a go.

Is what I would like to do, but I am too tiny to start any muscle training.

Besides with one of my arm gone, I won't be able to do any weight training.

Hmm.....,

This is a dilemma,

Crawling with one hand and two legs is already tiring and painful enough, I can't begin imagine how hard it will be if I try to exercise in my current condition.

Nonetheless, I can't just give up because of pain.

As long as I still have some parts of my body, I will continue to struggle with it until it is completely worn out.

hmm.....

This tunnel should be good enough for me to stay in.

The rest of the tunnels I passed through, I felt some dangerous feeling creeping up on my skin,

It was like they had an invisible warning sign at the entrance indicating not to go in.

This tunnel however did not feel like that,

It feels how should I put it, neutral, Even the inside is huge and wide.

Found it...,

The perfect corner in the tunnel for me to hide and start training.

I should start with some press-up....

I forgot, I can't do press-up with my one arm condition.

Hmmm..... ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

What then can I do with just an arm.....

Think...., think.....

I know....

Unlile earth, This is a game like world where skills exist,

If my body is too small and weak to make complicated moves, all I need to do is create a skill that will support my weak body.

Before I can create a skill, I first need to understand the nature of what I am dealing with.

When I say nature, I am referring to Mp.

The Dirt ignition skill is a skill that runs on Mp, so for now I will assume that all skill runs on Mp.

I should consider Mp as a sort of ingredients used for preparing food and the skill are the results of mixing different ingredients together.

I need to know my ingredients before preparing a meal, in this case, know your Mp before making a skill.

I still don't know if it will work but I have got nothing to lose except my life, and if I don't get this right, I would be losing that life to other monsters.
