Noah picked up another dagger and threw it, and another goblin fell.


    However, the Goblins kept backing away shivering, Noah watched them for a bit and th sighed.


    "If you''re noting, th I''ming to you."


    Instantly, he closed the distance and unleashed a flurry of sword moves.


    The gre blood sttered in all directions.


    As soon as he defeated thest goblin before him, Noah was met with a flood of notifications.


    [You have defeated a goblin!]


    [Experice points +6%]


    [Experice Points:0%]


    [Level up!]


    [Mission progress: Goblin 0/0]


    [You have perfectlypleted the assigned mission during your advancemt ss!]


    With a hundred goblins defeated, Noah was veloped in a transluct column of light, the sight of an advancemt, he was about to get a ss, and he couldn''t help but be overjoyed ready to celebrate.


    Noah who was about to celebrate because he seeded inpleting the advancemt ss''s mission froze.


    He waited for a momt still nothing, it was th the robotic voice rang out.


    {Error detected. Unable to proceed further. Assistance requested. Asking for assistance.???? Unable to??? Error????}


    Noah was shocked by the stream of notifications, it was almost like spam, he couldn''t understand what had gone wrong, why this was happing, it was almost as if something was interfering with his advancemt ss, it was th something shocking happed.


    The moon-shaped pdant he wore under his armor abruptly became hot.


    ''''Ouch!"


    Naturally, Noah hurriedly tried to remove his upper armor to throw away the pdant burning his skin wh he heard the sound of something breaking.


    Crack~


    His body froze, it was as if someone had doused him with a basin of cold water. His brain froze, unable to proceed with what just happed and anxiety began filling him.


    It was why he didn''t feel the cool ergy tering his burnt flesh, coursing through his body, blding with his cells before starting to regerate his burnt flesh. Everything happed in a second.


    [Ding! System initialization: %...5%...5%....40%....]


    A sudd voice rang into his mind, jolting Noah awake.


    ''''Am I hallucinating?'''' He voiced his confusion but was forced to face reality.


    [...80%.....99%....0%]


    [System sessfully Initialized. Running various checks]


    [Host''s idtity:... Verified!]


    [Compatibility with the System:..0%]


    [Host''s Status: Healthy and ready for the first mission]


    [Ding! First Mission: Kill all of the Goblins (?) inside the forest.


    Rewards: Unique ability, system''s interface, functions unlocked, and a message left by the system''s creator.


    Palty: System termination!]


    [The system suggestsmcing the mission immediately!]


    ''''What?" Noah was struck dumb by what had just happed. He thought once maybe he was hallucinating but a pinch of his skin told him he was not.


    He regained his calm and being someone whose brain works well, he was able to quickly pierce things together, the tower''s system being blocked, the pdant left by histe mother as a gift for his twelfth birthday breaking th these notifications, everything fits together perfectly like a puzzle and he understood the geral gist of the situation.


    ''''Eh! Seriously, let''s do what that thing told me first. The rewards are ticing anyway.''''


    Noah''s eyes shone, at best he was hoping for some powerful Elite ss but the prospect of acquiring a Unique ss was too appealing for him not to gamble, he held the belief that whatever was currtly happing it must be because of his mother''s arrangemts and he trusted her.


    ''''But first, some cookies to boost our morale and strgth.''''


    The boy addicted to cookies couldn''t stop himself yet again.


    Noah who brought a bunch of cookies didn''t immediately eat them, he observed them as if graving the image in his mind onest time.


    The cookies are more peanut than flour and dotted with chocte chips. The surface was crackled as the earth was inte summer, softly gold and awaiting the rain.


    ''''Let''s dig in.'''' Noah immediately devoured the sev cookies like a starving hya and after he was done he wiped his mouth clean, th he readied his weapon, and checked his backpack.


    It was at that momt he remembered his injury, he quickly checked his chest and was shocked to see no injury, it was perfectly clean.


    ''''I guess, it''s the system whatever,'''' Noah murmured. Although, sadded to have lost the pdant he didn''t let it get to his head, it had served its purpose he decided to believe.


    ''Time to move.''


    Noah kicked his feet on the g and leaped on a tree, he started jumping from one tree to another, his goal: search for his next prey. There must be a whole bunch of goblins inside this forest, a vige if the assumption was right, it was what he was aiming for.


    He was not worried about meeting the others because, the first floor was super vast, beside each studt was st to differt locations so they wouldn''t meet. He could take his time.


    You can only go out if youplete your mission and get a ss.


    Noah continued searching for goblins as he leaped from tree to tree. He didn''t immediately counter them as if they were hiding now that he decided to eliminate them all.


    The fruitless search continued for half an hour before Noah finally countered four goblins, three were together as if they were discussing something, and thest one was a few feet apart.


    Noah''s eyes became cold, he had switched to his killer mode again. He ran a few scarios in his mind before finally picking the right one after a momt of consideration.


    He immediately jumped from the tree he was hiding on. He threw two daggers at the goblins while still in the air.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One urately pierced through the head of one of the three goblins while the other pierced the lone goblin''s left thief.


    ''''Kieee!"


    The injured goblin cried, the other two were rmed and readied their weapons.


    Noah happed tond perfectly in the middle of the two, his des danced and the two goblins died before ev they knew it.


    Everything happed too fast, Noah was quick and urate, not wasting any movemt, only going for the kill.


    {Three goblins killed}


    {Experice+3%}


    Noah ignored the robotic voice, focusing his atttion on the scared injured goblin trying to flee.


    Noah lowered his body toward one of the goblins, this action confused the injured goblin.


    ''''Kiee?"


    Noah ignored it and retrieved his dagger from the head of the dead goblin, meanwhile, the injured goblin immediately escaped into the forest leaving a gre blood on its trail.


    ''''Great!"


    Noah revealed a smile wh he saw this, half of his goal was achieved, the other half would depd on the runaway goblin.
