The monster in front of Reyansh was wearing a tunic with holes and dirty cloth wrapped below his waist.
"Kheh...kheh," the monster appeared excited as he lunged at Reyansh with a rusted dagger.
Reyansh being underprepared with the sudden appearance of the monster just as he entered, was caught a bit off guard.
He barely dodged the dagger aimed at him by diving sideways.
"Thanks for the welcome, goblin," he commented.
He checked the viewer count from the corner of his eyes:
[Viewers: 0]
"Let's focus on this guest first," he decided.
The goblin, a bit irritated, lunged at him again with slight jump.
Reyansh rolled to the side, as the goblin stabbed the empty air where he was standing just a moment ago.
His hands still raised at the head level, were shaking slightly. Before he could retaliate, the goblin attacked again.
He simply dodged again, struggling with the way to respond to this enemy, he exhaled, trying to calm his nerves.
The shaking in his hands stopped as he threw his clenched fist involuntarily aimed at goblin's torso.
Reyansh's fist connected, causing goblin to skid a few steps back and fell down to his knees, coughing a bit of murky red blood.
This gave Reyansh a moment to recollect himself before attacking properly.
With his eyes still focused on goblin, he tried to remember the self defence technique his father had made him learn after the Merge.
Even though he had seen videos hunters killing goblins like flies, he was barely able to land a hit after few dodges.
"So this is the difference between theory and practical," he remarked.
The goblin with his bloodshot eyes, jumped towards Reyansh aiming for the eyes. This time, his eyes followed the movement of goblin, moving slightly to the side and making room for himself, he hit the goblin at same place but with more strength in his fists.
The goblin flew backwards, dropping his rusted dagger and hit the ground. Without wasting a beat, Reyansh picked up the rusted dagger and aimed straight at goblin's heart.
HEUK!
The goblin didn't have a chance to save himself and died at the repeated strikes of Reyansh.
[You have killed an E-rank goblin]
[You have obtained goblin rag] ×2
[You have obtained an E-rank Mana Stone]
The notification in front of Reyansh's eyes confirmed the kill, he stopped his barrage of repeated attack. His clothes soiled a bit from murky blood but there was a satisfying smile on his face.
"It's good but still a bit inefficient," he spoke his thoughts aloud.
He stored the goblin corpse in his inventory. After thinking for few seconds, he took out the goblin rags and wrapped them around his head, leaving only his eyes visible.
Just as he was about take a step forward, a small panel appeared at the corner of his eyes.
[The Blazing Sandra: Why did you cover your face? You were pleasing enough on the eyes for a human.]
This comment brought his half raised leg to stop. He checked the viewers count again.
[Viewers: 1]
"Oh, hello and welcome to StarWalker channel, congratulations on being the first viewer of the channel." He greeted his first ever viewer.
He remembered one of the perks of the Cosmic Patron System, Patron Insight. He mentally thought of using the perk and focused on the name, a panel popped up.
[Name: Sandra Ciel Von Nova]
[Race: Stellar Dragon]
[Age: 125 Y | Young Dragon]
[Gender: Female]
[Intention: Curious]
[Dimension: A07 (Radiant Star, Apex Dimension)]
Looking at the detailed information provided, he was a bit surprised. 'A dragon from…Apex Dimension?' he wondered.
[The Blazing Sandra: Ahh, I just saw this stream had zero viewers so I joined in.]
[The Blazing Sandra: But you didn't answer my question?]
The strings of message brought his focus back the chat.
"Ahh, pardon, I was just happy to have my first viewer. As for this rag, I did that to surprise someone I know about my awakening," he lied partially.
"I hope you stay and please do mention if you have any particular request." He added further.
[The Blazing Sandra: Oh…okay]
[The Blazing Sandra: But wait, why I can't see your info besides that the stream is from low rank dimension?]
"As you can see, it's my first stream so I don't know much about it, hehe," he lied through his teeth this time.
[The Blazing Sandra: Weird, it shouldn't happen like this, but interesting too. I will stay, I hope you show something interesting human.]
Seeing this comment, he smiled inwardly, "I will try best The Blazing Sandra."
He had walked some distance from his previous scuffle. As he focused on his surroundings, he could sense minor disturbance in air, although around 3 meters centered around himself.
White rank dungeon had two layers, outer and inner. The more a hunter moved towards inner, higher the monsters strength and numbers.
As Reyansh was cautiously moving forward, many thoughts crossed his mind but he focused himself towards the environment and left everything else for the later.
CRUNCH!
A sudden shrill sound of twig breaking reached his ears. He immediately turned towards the direction of the sound, three goblins with same look but different weapons came into view.
The goblin in right had a short damaged spear, while the goblin in left had a club made of wooden log and goblin in front was moving forward with a cracked wooden shield.
"Well, we have goblin party on our hands," his vigilance raised as he faced off against three goblins this time.
[The Blazing Sandra issued a challenge for one Cosmic Coin: Defeat the party of weaklings under two minutes. Would you like to accept the challenge?]
A genuine smile bloomed on his face, "Thanks for your generosity viewer, I graciously accept."
[02:00]
[01:59]
[The Blazing Sandra: Clock's ticking]
With the rusted dagger in his hand, he rushed towards the goblin in the left. The goblins not expecting that weak looking human will attack first, panicked a little, giving Reyansh a extra moment to attack.
As the goblin with shield moved to defend his fellow goblin, the dagger lodged slightly in the wooden shield.
Sensing the opportunity, the goblin in left raised his club high to attack, leaving himself wide open.
Waiting for this Reyansh, left the dagger and coiled his left fist, gathering strength and punched the goblin straight in the chest.
The goblin was sent flying, dropping his ill formed club and hitting the tree behind.
[01:50]
"One down, two more to go,"
[The Blazing Sandra: Knocking out goblin with pure strength, decent for a human who just awakened]
"Thanks,"
Seeing their colleague smashing into the trunk, both goblins shouted incomprehensibly and rushed to attack the human responsible.
Reyansh first rolled out of their attacks way and picked up a small stone in his left hand while holding the club in right.
The goblins turned towards him to attack again. Reyansh threw the stone with all his strength, aimed at head of the goblin with shield.
As the goblin defended himself, Reyansh used the opportunity to attack the goblin with short spear.
The club and spear collided, the goblin was able to slow down the momentum of the club, even with Reyansh's strength, only skidding few steps backwards.
The goblin with shield used this moment to slam the shield into Reyansh, forcing him to stagger back.
He felt slight vibration in his bones from the impact but he stabilized himself immediately.
[01:35]
"Nice teamwork guys," Reyansh commented as he picked up another rock, larger this time.
He threw the rock again, putting as much strength as possible. The goblin raised his shield to defend himself reflexively but this time the rock was aimed at goblin with short spear.
Caught off-guard, the rock hit his head, causing him to bleed and fell down. The goblin with shield appeared shocked and started babbling something, probably cursing at human.
[01:25]
Reyansh didn't waste any time and jumped slightly in the air, bringing down the club on goblin head.
The goblin hurriedly defended again but was forced on his knees due the strength behind the attack.
Before the goblin could even take a breath, Reyansh used both hands and slammed down on the shield again.
The sheer strength behind the attack made the goblin's hand numb and he let the shield go.
As the goblin was about to turn backwards and run for his life, a horizontally swing from Reyansh hit his head and he was bludgeoned to death.
[01:05]
The last conscious goblin with short spear stood, fear evident in his eyes. He was pointing the spear at Reyansh but stepping backwards, also trying to run.
"Sorry buddy, 10,000 credits are at stake," Reyansh spoke at he picked up the shield and threw at him.
The goblin barely deflected the shield with his spear but the next moment, a club hit his head horizontally, breaking his neck as his turned unnaturally with his eyes still wide open.
[00:50]
Reyansh walked towards the first goblin he knocked unconscious and hit him with the wooden club, using both hands to put extra strength in his swing.
PUCH!
The head cracked open due to the hit as some blood splattered over his clothes but at the moment, Reyansh didn't mind.
