The True Gamer

Special Chapter 3- Remonster

After giving Rou the promised Undead Necklaces I went to sleep in my small sectioned off corner in the cave. Once I awoke and saw I had slept for another day's worth of training I went outside. After waking back up I noticed that the hobgoblin saved me a couple of rabbits from the thousand large pile of them in the middle of the place.

Apparently the rabbit species from here were very stupid and would jump on the traps after something had already died inside. Who knew that would happen? I certainly didn't. Other than that I walked outside and saw something even more gruesome. around 400 rabbit pelts were being tanned and made into clothes. The smell of ammonium in the air was unwonderfully strong.

Faking a smile at the scene I wondered how the other hobgoblin was doing as well as Rou. As I walked inside the cave once more I noticed the thing started eating all of the rabbit bones and was in fact almost finished with them. "Tastes just like chicken with a bit of a rabbit after taste." With that I just turned away after using observe on him.

Looking down I noticed his strength thanks to all of this was now 84 with a Dexterity of 96. That made me wonder just how anyone could gain that much strength so fast. Until I observed the piece of bone he was eating on.

A piece of bone that has been partially absorbed by Consumption Absorption. After realizing the man was using a special skill I grew a little jealous at not having it myself. My hoarding mindset of a gamer was back. Shrugging it off I observed what the skill did and frankly I thought it was basically a plain straight up hack. It was a power more unfair than my power that made me a video game character. And that was because he could just steal my power if I was uncareful and let him cannibalize me.

This also made me realize why the man had licked his lips the first time I saw him. He thought of me as nothing more than a way to gain strength and a tasty snack " I see the traps did well." " Yes they did wonders in facts there also reusable after sprinkling a bit of dirt in as well thanks to the rabbits being so stupid. "Nodding in understanding I had a side thought. Man I seemed to smile, smirk, and nod a lot. Maybe I should try to react more, but would that still be me. Meh, I would figure out what to do soon anyways.

Rou started teaching the Hobgoblins and regular goblins how to fight and survive in one. The whole thing honestly surprised me with how notoriously greedy goblins were, but honestly I was in no position to say anything about it.

After getting done I went outside to set up a few more traps before coming back and going to sleep.

----------------------------------------------------------Line Break--------------------------------------------------------

It turns out that by teaching the weaker goblins it would speed up the growth of the other goblins who listened in. As such I woman goblin evolved into a hobgoblin today. Also another interesting thing is that although they don't have chakra they all contain a small amount of energy called Mana. Which was similar to my own in my world. The difference here though was that the energy followed a more restricted flow only being able to perform certain abilities depending upon specific situations. At least it allowed me to use a couple of my techniques such as mana hands.

After learning about it, M-mana popped up in all my observes now. Another point is that they showed my something that gave me an Idea to try once I got back home. Hardening the skin to take a set amount of damage using my life force. Another thing he noticed was that my time was almost up, what with the time being. Time- 1 Day

Today however wouldn't be going as peaceful as the others I realized. Considering I was sent here to protect this place. My Danger senses were also picking up some danger from beings somewhat far away. One that could be my end if I wasn't careful. And that threat was a group of very organized soldiers. 

Once they came here I was able to tell more. They were only around 25 points strong in each stat on average, however there was 2 people who stood out from this pattern. They each had 110 Point averages. Thankfully for me I didn't need to directly do so. Another thing I realized was that all my traps had leveled up my crafting skill to level 7.

Anyway I needed my traps to take out the small time army while only Rou could tackle both of the stronger ones with me. However even he might feel pressured if they are able to work together better than we could. As such there was only one true choice in our "working together plan". I needed to distract the guy who was Faster, Stronger, and had more Vitality than I did until Rou came to help me. The only question now was how I was going to do that.
