Bab 50: Hobgoblin.

The Goblin village was swarming with short green-skinned creatures with big heads and long pointy ears. The village was quite dirty because the Goblins didn't have any idea what hygiene meant. There were skeletons of different animals and beasts loitered in the ground while a dozen campfires were lit up.

On top of the campfires, different animals were hanging, all had their skulls smashed in by some kind of blunt weapon. The Goblins were making food while saliva left their mouths.

The sky was getting darker with each passing second, and the only light in the village was from the campfires.

The wooden door of the largest building in the village was opened. A blue-skinned figure with leather pants and shirt left the building, he had an iron sword tied up on his waist, and a nametag floated above him.

[Hobgoblin - Level: 19]

[HP: 170/170]

He was around 160cm in height, still small compared to most of the humans, but much taller than the green-skinned Goblins.

''Kruh!'' The Hobgoblin pushed the Goblins away from the campfire— he grabbed the dead wild boar from the campfire and started munching on it. He didn't care about the bones, he ate them as well, and soon the entire animal was eaten.

The Goblins were unhappy, and they started fighting for the rest of the animals.

''Krah!'' The Hobgoblin shouted and started stomping back to the wooden building.

Soon, the rest of the animals were eaten, but not even half of the Goblins managed to get any food.

''Kraah!'' The Goblins started fighting with each other— some even started biting. Many of them hadn't had food for days!

The Hobgoblin always ate the largest animal, which would have enough food to feed 50 Goblins!

Few of the Goblins were critically injured— they fell down on the ground and didn't have the strength to get up.

The rest of the Goblins were still fighting, and they didn't notice a few rocks flying towards the fallen Goblins.

Once the rocks hit them, they vanished into pixels.

On top of one of the wooden huts, only a dozen meters away from the fighting Goblins, a beautiful white-haired individual was reloading his slingshot and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

A couple of messages appeared in front of him.

[You Killed Goblin!]

[225 XP Earned!]

[You Killed Goblin!]

[225 XP Earned!]

[You Killed Goblin!]

[225 XP Earned!]

The Goblins kept mindlessly fighting with each other, not knowing that Death had arrived!

Isaac put two rocks on the slingshot and fired them towards another Goblin who became too exhausted to keep standing.

[You Killed Goblin!]

[150 XP Earned!]

The Goblins kept fighting until they noticed that something was very wrong!

They looked around them and didn't see other Goblins or even their corpses!

They also saw rocks lying on the ground, and some even had green liquid on them. The rocks were flying with such velocity that the Goblin's skulls were crushed, and the rocks were the evidence that Goblin had been killed with that!

''Krah! Krah!'' The remaining Gobles started screaming towards their fellow comrades, but they didn't receive a reply.

Isaac had [XP: 425/3115] before he started the massacre, but now he had [XP: 2050/3315]

Isaac anxiously looked at the time remaining [8.56...]

Only less than 9 minutes remaining!

Only three Goblins remained, but they were low HP.

Isaac reloaded quickly with the help of Dexterity stat and quickly finished them off!

[You Killed Goblin!]

[150 XP Earned!]

[You Killed Goblin!]

[300 XP Earned!]

[You Killed Goblin!]

[300 XP Earned!]

''Only 415 remaining... There is only one remaining...'' Isaac gulped and looked towards the large wooden building.

The Goblins are dead!

But Hobgoblin is still healthy.

He dropped down to the ground and looked at the items dropped by Goblins, but they didn't have anything!

Not even wooden mace's because they were prepared to eat, not fight!

The gray sky soon became pitch black. The campfires were the only source of light, while the wooden building with Hobgoblin was completely dark.

Isaac put his slingshot on the Inventory and took his most powerful Flintlock pistol.

He moved silently towards the wooden building, but he still had to hurry because time was running out!

As he reached the wooden building, he tried to listen to the voices, but the building seemed quiet...

This was strange because Goblins and Hobgoblins alike aren't quiet people. They were clumsy, loud and they smelled bad.

*Sniff*

Isaac took a sniff of the air— he smelled the terrible stench of the village, but he also tried to smell the Hobgoblin, but it was an impossible feat.

The Hobgoblin mostly spends his time in the wooden building, and it was already smelling because of that.

*Creak*

Isaac slowly started opening the door, but the creaking noise of the door almost made his heart explode.

Isaac instantly grimaced and covered his nose. The whole building was filled with dead animals! Most of them were rotting, but some had been eaten.

The stench was unbearable, and he wasn't sure he could concentrate on fighting in that building. But, he still entered the building and dodged the dead animals. He moved deeper inside the building.

If he can do one headshot, he would most likely kill the Hobgoblin.

He only needed one good shot.

The building was pitch dark, and Isaac could barely see the pistol he was holding! He didn't notice, but soon he reached the end of the building!

Soon, Isaac saw a wooden wall in front of him, he looked around him anxiously, but the Hobgoblin was nowhere to be seen!

*Creak*

Isaac paled and slowly turned his head towards the ceiling.

''KRAAH!'' Hobgoblin was hanging from the ceiling! He screamed and jumped towards Isaac with his Iron sword!

''AH!'' Isaac screamed and jumped towards the right.

*CRACK*

The Iron sword pierced through the wooden floor, the Hobgoblin screamed and pulled it away from the floor.

Isaac stumbled and accidentally tripped because of the dead animal!

''Ah!'' He fell down on the ground on his butt, while the Hobgoblin started running towards him with menacing-looking red eyes.

Isaac looked around the floor— he noticed that he had dropped his Flintlock pistol!

''Where! Where...'' He looked around the floor and only heard the sound of his panicked breathing and the sound of Hobgoblin approaching with deadly speed.

But then...

Isaac grabbed an item from the ground, he didn't know what it was, but it felt incredibly familiar.

Like it was another limb of his!

He turned around and saw Hobgoblin standing above him with his iron sword ready to stab through his heart.

Isaac pointed the item towards the Hobgoblin and did the same movement he had done countless times with the Flintlock pistol.

*BANG!*

Bab 51: Snowstorm.

''Kruh...'' The Hobgoblin became stiff. He stumbled backward with the feeling of disbelief visible on his face as he felt a warm liquid trailing down from his forehead.

He touched the hole that shockingly didn't hurt, and with his undeveloped brain, couldn't comprehend his death.

Soon, he turned into pixels.

[You Killed Hobgoblin!]

[600 XP Earned!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Level 15 -> Level 16]

Bright items landed on the ground after the Hobgoblin died. The items were sucked instantly into Isaac's Inventory before he even had time to check those out.

Isaac opened his Interface and was about to press the Inventory to check the items, but then a message popped up.

[0:00]

[Time's up!]

[Rest Well Player!]

[You have been forcefully logged out!]

Isaac saw bright light covering his vision, and soon he felt himself lying on the soft bed with a familiar white visor in front of his eyes.

''Ah.'' Isaac felt his body being very stiff. First time since he was in the hospital after the incident, his body was in a state of relaxation for 10 straight hours.

He took off his Helmet and stood up, but his body had become numb. The Bronze Helmet doesn't keep the body energetic— that's why it gathers so much hate.

Even Silver Helmet keeps the mind fresh and the body energetic.

But, the Bronze Helmet doesn't have any fancy stuff.

''Oh right... Dinner, why did no one come to invite me?'' Isaac curiously left the room— he even forgot to put the VR Helmet back in the box.

Soon, he entered the living room and saw his parents sitting on the couch while watching the TV.

Isabella heard familiar footsteps. The footsteps were soft and quiet— she instantly recognized them as Isaac's footsteps!

''Isaac, did you have fun?'' Isabella turned her head and asked with a gentle smile.

Isaac smiled and walked to the couch, ''Why didn't you guys invite me for dinner?''

''We thought you were busy,'' Maxwell said, but there was also another reason.

It was a shocking sight to see Isaac playing for the whole 10 hours straight!

Isaac nodded— he stretched his numb body parts. His entire body felt unfamiliar, like he hadn't moved for days.

''Is your body numb?'' Maxwell turned his head around and asked.

Isaac sighed and nodded, ''Yeah...''

''We can buy you a better VR Helmet.'' Isabella instantly told him.

Maxwell nodded, ''We can afford it.''

Isaac shook his head, ''No need to spend money on me...'' He sighed and turned around, ''I will probably quit the game soon anyway...''

He started walking towards the kitchen while Isabella and Maxwell looked at each other with knowing smiles.

''He won't stop, right?'' Isabella asked with a gentle smile.

Maxwell looked at Isaac, who entered the kitchen, ''Have you ever seen him interested in anything?''

Isabella chuckled and shook her head, ''This is the first time...''

''MOM! DAD!'' Alice entered the living room with a panicked face.

''Honey, what is it?'' Isabella asked curiously— she frowned as she saw Alice's body shaking.

''ISAAC HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED!'' Alice cried out with teary eyes.

Isabella and Maxwell looked at each other with tilted heads.

''I was kidnapped? When?'' Isaac left the kitchen with a sandwich in his mouth.

''ISAAC!'' Alice cried out and trapped him in a hug.

''OOF!'' Isaac felt his spine about to be broken.

''I went to your room, and then I saw the VR Helmet on the bed, but you were nowhere to be seen!'' Alice cried out and hugged even tighter.

''M-My spine!'' Isaac cried out, and finally, Alice woke up from her state of shock, and she released Isaac.

She shyly twirled her hair, ''Oops.''

Isaac rubbed his painful back.

''I am sorry...'' Alice apologized with a bow.

''It's fine...'' Isaac said with a gentle smile, but his manliness received another big hit.

'Even my little sister is stronger than me! Why am I here, just to suffer?' He felt like crying, but it would cause another panic.

''Anyway...'' Alice hopped next to Isaac and whispered, ''Oliver asked how you were doing.''

Isaac's eyes widened, but he quickly hid his expression, ''Is that so...''

''I don't know why you are hanging out with him. He is creepy,'' Alice said with an innocent smile.

''Alice, it is not nice to call someone creepy.'' Isabella reminded gently.

Alice showed her tongue and ran towards the upstairs.

Isabella smiled and shook her head. She turned her head back to the TV.

''Oh, 2 billion users already,'' Isabella said with slight shock.

''This is only the beginning,'' Maxwell said mysteriously.

Isabella pouted and put her head on Maxwell's shoulder. Their daily flirting session began.

Isaac started walking upstairs before he started vomiting.

He stopped on the second floor— he looked outside the window and saw a heavy snowstorm.

Snow was piling up, covering the streets and road. Snowstar is famous for its weekly snowstorms, and for some, that makes Snowstar a lousy place to live in.

But, Isaac felt a familiarity with the snow. Once he was a child, he got lost in the nearby forest, and that day had one of the worst snowstorms in recent memory.

Hundreds of buildings collapsed because the snow piled up on the roofs. The ones with better houses were fine, except they could barely leave the houses because the snow had piled up in front of their front doors.

But, the ones with poorer living conditions were in a miserable situation, but that's where Whitelock Company came to help. They rebuilt every destroyed building and made them even better!

Now, if another snowstorm of that caliber happens, every house and its residents will be safe from harm.

That made the Whitelock Family's reputation soar.

When news about Isaac's disappearance during the snowstorm surfaced. Thousands of citizens helped the Whitelock family to search for him.

But, no one found him.

After three days, Isaac returned without a scratch on his body.

The snow guided him, and he managed to return safely.

Isaac didn't really remember much about his childhood, but that was the first time he encountered World of White!
