Adventures Of A Goblin

what kind of a shitty situation is this?, Am I really in a virtual world as I thought I was?....., This intense pain that keeps throbbing on my left arm does not feel virtual..., The red blood that is dripping along with the pain does not look virtual...., Can this really be called a virtual reality?.

What if?....., Just what if..., What if this isn't a virtual world and all of this is real?..., I brushed it off earlier as an absurd thought but this pain I am feeling is assuring me otherwise.

Thinking about it clearly, why would anyone want to put a fellow human in an horrendous situation like this for the sake of collecting data?

....?

Okay...., maybe there are people like that but why would they go so far as doing that in a virtual world and even more in this kind of situation.

This doesn't make any sense at all. I can't place my hopes on this being a virtual reality..., There is only one thing I have to accept now...., If I die here, I have no idea what awaits me at the end.

Virtual or not, I have to survive. My first priority right now is surviving against this beast. I refuse to die at the hands of a beast..., I refuse to have my limbs thorn apart by this beast...

I will survive....., I will survive this God forsaken situation I have been dealt with. No matter what happens, I will definitely survive.

damn it...., damn it..., My HP and SP are dropping fast, It feels almost like my life expectancy is being calculated by it.

What can I do?..., What can I do to get out of this sticky situation?...

"..."

That beast is not making any movements at me and is just observing me at a distance. Does it make you feel good seeing an infants struggle for life?, You psychotic bastard, I refuse to give my life to a beast like you.

Anything....., Anything at all that can help me out of this sticky situation....

The blue panel, It has been ringing on my head ever since that beast showed up. Perhaps there is something about it that can help me out...

Anything....., Just anything, I will gladly take it....

"scroll.....".

This are all just nonsense notifications that will not be helpful for this situ.....

"?..."

this is.... This is a skill right?...., I might be old but even I know a game skill when I see one. let me see.....

Dirt Ignition?....

How can something like that help me in a situation like this?. This damned world,

If you are going to make me a baby at least give me a skill to protect myself with. What use does Dirt ignition have in a situation like thi.....

hmm...., I shouldn't give up hope just yet. There is a saying that there is no such thing as useless, the right moment is what really matters.

If I think carefully depending on the situation, Dirt ignition does not seem like a useless skill, I just have to be the one to find the right uses for it.

Right uses..., Right uses..., ahahah..., What right uses can there be for a skill that only gathers dust particles

....?

Gathers dust particles?....., I can use this.

This beast is certainly not willing to take any risks, It knows that my body will eventually collapse due to too much blood loss from my left arm and is waiting for that moment.

Being careful in front of an infant?, Is that it's intuition as a beast or an arrogance of a superior?. Whatever it is, it worked out well for me.

First of all, I need to attend to the bleeding situation on my left arm If I don't want to die of blood loss.

The solution I have for stopping the bleeding in my arm is both crude and extremely painful but if I want to survive, I have to do it.

how do I activate the dirt ignition skill?, Do I just think of it or..., it is working.

now I just need to think of the dust particles gathering in the joint in my left arm and closing up the wound. I sure hope it works after all this pain I have to go throughhhh.....

"hnhhghg..."

It....., It is working.., I can feel the bleeding has reduced. My HP has also stopped falling. That is one problem taken care of, next is to deal with this prideful arrogant beast.

To proceed with my plan, I need to be within its range of at least a feet close. With my speed, I will be cut down by its claws before I can even get close to it much less activating my plan.

My only available choice is to wait for it to come to me but with its nature, it won't make a move unless it is assured of my death. The only other option I have left is to play dead.

I will render myself completely immobile and wait for it to come to me before I do anything, To deceive the beast, I need to act out the perfect death scene.

I releases all tension from my hand with my eyes closed and my tongue stuck out. The pose of a dead chicken is the act I went with.

Now all I need to do is not make a sound until it gets close to me.

I do hope this is enough to fool it.

"....."

*ten minutes later

"....."

Come on....., You have two choices here, either come and eat me or leave me be and go your way. Which would you choose?.

*twenty minute later

"...."

ahhhhhh..., this is so frustrating, Just come eat me already....

" grraa....."

that is right.., Come eat your delicious infant meat.

"grraaa..."

Almost there...., Almost there.....,

"grra....."

Now!..

skill > Dirt Ignition.

I concentrated the dust particles gathering on the eyes of the beast to block its vision.

The usual reaction to having dust invade your eyes is to either continue blinking at a fast pace or to close your eyes and use your hand to scratch the eyes. This beast was no different as it moved according to my prediction.

while it is preoccupied with trying to get the dust out of its eyes, I sprung into action. I mustered up whatever strength was left in me and lept at the beast's face

I dug my right hand through its eyes and bit my way through its skull then wrapped my legs around its neck. The beast struggled to keep me off of its face but I strangled its head more and put it in a choke hold with all my body weight.

I continued to bite my way through its skull and dig my fist into its eyes as it continues to resist me. The Victor of this encounter will be decided by the one who can hold out the longest.
