Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 57

[You are now level 71]

[Casanova Title Unlocked]

With a smile on his face Eisen stood there in front of the Goblin King's dead body, with a blood-covered mana crystal in his hand. He turned around and looked at his party members who were watching him with mixed expressions.

They seemed to somewhat struggle to stomach the sight of Eisen basically pulling out a Monster's heart, but at the same time were standing there in awe at that sight. Especially Jyuuk, as it seemed like something right out of some kind of anime to him.

Eisen chuckled softly and stepped over the King's body. "Bree, could you give me the water cup?" He asked, and she simply took the Mana Crystal from him instead.

"That's fine! I can clean it~!" She said with a smile, and Eisen nodded as he let go of the Crystal and decided to quickly clean his hand with a rag, before opening his Status page.

He turned to his party members and grinned slightly. "Ah, by the way, I leveled up again with this fight. We can finally get back to Melroe."

"Congratulations, Eisen! Now you can finish that quest!" Bree said with a smile as she stashed away the Mana Crystal.

"Yeah, finally. I'll just assign my stat points now, and then let's look around if there's anything useful around here." Eisen said and quickly brought his INT and WIS stats to 100, assigning the other three points randomly.

[Your INT stat reached 100. It's effectiveness rose by 10%]

[Your WIS stat reached 100. It's effectiveness rose by 10%]

After waving these notifications away, Eisen looked at his new title as well. Because obviously, Casanova wasn't the first thing he thought of when thinking about that brutal scene just now.

[Title - Casanova]

[Description] You stole someone's heart

[Effect] Inflict stronger emotions on other people

Eisen looked blankly at that description and waved it away before starting to laugh at what it told him. Bree and Jyuuk wondered what was going on, but quickly ignored it, following which everyone started working on each of their tasks. Bree was going to extract the Mana Crystals from the rest of the dead goblins, while Jyuuk and Eisen looked around for anything useful. They first grabbed every crystal or gem that they found on the equipment of the goblins and then looked around the room for anything else of interest.

And it didn't take long until they found such a thing.

Behind the throne that the Goblin King was sitting on was a decorated chest. It seemed quite heavy when Eisen tried to lift it, but it was locked so they couldn't open it. Jyuuk sighed and looked over at Eisen. "Can you lockpick it? It seems pretty complicated, though... Although, I can't tell. So, can you?" He asked excitedly, as Jyuuk started to become interested in how Eisen did things like this, but Eisen shook his head with a soft smile.

"Or... We can just see if we can use the key that the Goblin King has in its pocket." He said and pushed his hand into the Goblin's pocket until he pulled out a small, rusted old key.

"O-Or we can do that, yes..." Jyuuk said and looked away, but then opened his eyes in slight surprise. "Eisen, I need to go in two in-game hours. I set an alarm through Rover." The Monkey-man whispered and Eisen nodded in response. "Got it. Let's just grab whatever we can and get out of here. We can split up the loot when you're back."

"Of course, thank you. Now, do you want to see what's inside the chest?" Jyuuk asked and excitedly looked at the key in Eisen's hand.

The old man smiled and pushed the rusty key into the lock of the chest, slowly twisting it to the right until the both of them could hear a quiet clicking sound.
