Isaac walked for half an hour, and the Beast Forest was nowhere to be seen. He only saw the dirt road he was walking on and the grassland surrounding the road.
He still had the dark red name tag— and thought that he needed at least 5 hours before it was at least orange.
That gave him enough time to find new hunting places. Everyone was focused on the Beast Forest because it was near, and not even 1% of the forest had been explored, which made it an excellent hunting spot.
But, what was the better one? Many had thought about that, but the maps show that the next forest was at least 10 hours away, so it was not worth it to go there.
Isaac didn't plan to go there either— it was too far away.
But, while he was walking, he thought about another exploit!
Everyone had a mindset that you need to travel everywhere by foot or by carriage.
But that's where the rented rooms come in handy! If Isaac logs out, and logs back in, he will find himself in his rented room!
But, he can't use that when his nametag is red— otherwise, the Guards will come and arrest him.
10 hours is still a significant loss, but Isaac was willing to spend that much time. He had 4 hours before his time limit was over.
He made a decision. It could be extremely dangerous and not worth it, but he planned to start running there without his armor!
The Chain Armor disappeared and entered his Inventory.
Isaac stretched his legs and started running.
The surroundings were quiet and calm. The wind blew and made his beautiful white hair flutter alongside the wind.
He ran for another 2 hours until he became too exhausted to continue.
He caught his breath and felt like the chance of arriving at the forest before the time limit was very slim. He was sure that he wouldn't have time grinding XP there. He started feeling like the Bronze Helmetwass too restrictive. If only he had Legendary... He could have more than enough time.
He could arrive at the forest in 3 hours with non stop running, but only 2 hours remained within the time limit.
''I will never make it in time...'' Isaac muttered with an exhausted expression. He looked around himself and turned his head towards the grassland.
''Hmm...'' Isaac looked where the road was leading to, and for some reason, it was taking a longer route than needed.
He could run through the grassland and save a lot of time!
Isaac caught his breath and started running like he was possessed.
It felt much more comfortable running in the grass than in the hard dirt ground.
That made his pace slightly faster.
After an hour of nonstop running, he saw a majestic forest not far from him!
''I-I have arrived!'' Isaac looked thrilled and ran even faster.
After another ten minutes, he entered the edge of the forest.
Isaac slumped down on the ground— his chest was moving up and down while he was trying to get rid of his exhaustion.
Out of nowhere, messages popped up in front of him!
*Ding *Ding*
[You Have Discovered Forest of Unknown!]
[Rewards: 500 XP - Title Adventurer]
[Adventurer: Every new place discovered will give the player 300% more XP]
[Welcome to Forest of Unknown]
[Level Limit: 10 - 100]
Isaac stood up and patted the dirt from his pants. He put on his Chain Armor and grabbed a Flintlock pistol from his Inventory.
Only 50 minutes remained before the time limit.
He also took another item from his Inventory.
[XP Boost Potion - Uncommon]
Isaac opened the cap of the bottle and started drinking it.
The blue liquid left the glass bottle and traveled through Isaac's throat.
*Ding* *Ding*
[XP Boost Potion used!]
[50% XP Increase for next hour!]
[59:59...]
[59:58...]
Isaac took a deep breath and entered the forest!
He wasn't planning to risk his life— he won't fight against enemies he isn't confident in defeating.
The Forest of Unknown was way darker than other forests he had been in. The leaves and branches of the trees were blocking the sunlight, making the atmosphere of the forest very creepy and scary.
But Isaac wasn't afraid.
He only fears one thing in his life, and the dark forest, isn't it.
A few minutes later, he exited the small portion of the forest and appeared in front of a small cave with distinct noises coming inside of it.
Isaac heard footsteps from inside the cave, and soon... He widened his eyes in shock after finding out whose footsteps those were.
It was a green-skinned individual with a very short body, almost looking like a child. He wasn't wearing armor or weapons— he was completely defenseless.
[Goblin - Level: 11]
[HP: 111/111]
''Krah?'' The Goblin stopped walking and widened his eyes in shock. He saw a beautiful white-haired figure looking at him with the same shocked face.
''Krah? KRAH!'' The Goblin ran towards Isaac with his fists swinging.
Isaac pointed his Flintlock towards Goblin and squeezed the trigger.
*Bang*
The bullet pierced the Goblin's forehead, killing him instantly.
The Goblin turned into pixels and dropped nothing. He didn't expect a human to appear, which made him completely defenseless.
[You Killed a Goblin!]
[180 XP Earned!]
The loud sound of a gun firing echoed in the forest.
Isaac heard screaming noises inside the cave.
He quickly grabbed his second Flintlock pistol and aimed it towards the cave.
Soon, two Goblins came with their wooden maces. They were slightly taller than the previous goblin.
[Goblin - Level: 12]
[HP: 120/120]
[Goblin - Level: 13]
[HP: 126/126]
The Goblins screamed and started running towards Isaac with their short limbs, but they were all too slow.
Isaac pressed both of the triggers, and two bullets left the barrels.
The first bullet pierced through the level 12 Goblin's forehead.
The second bullet pierced through the level 13 Goblin's forehead, but he didn't die!
Isaac used his worst Flintlock pistol, which only caused 70 HP damage!
The first Goblin turned into pixels, but the second Goblin appeared in front of Isaac and swung his mace!
Isaac used his agility stat and jumped backward, barely dodging the mace.
But then, a bunch of messages appeared in front of him.
[You Killed a Goblin!]
[225 XP Earned!]
Isaac first thought that the Goblin who attacked him died suddenly, but those messages came from the first goblin who died.
The second Goblin started chasing after Isaac with bloodlust visible in his eyes.
[Goblin - Level: 13]
[HP: 56/126]
[11...]
[23...]
Isaac looked at the screen and saw that only 11 seconds remained before his Uncommon Flintlock was reloaded, and 23 seconds until his older Flintlock, but the Goblin didn't let him escape that easily.
He kept swinging the wooden mace, but the swings were quite sloppy and slow.
Even though the Goblins were higher leveled than Isaac, it felt like the Goblin's every stat was lower! But Isaac had a hunch that the strength stat might be enough to gravely injure him!
He didn't take risks and kept his distance.
It would be ideal if he could climb to the tree, but the Goblin would make it in time to stop him.
''Kra! Kru, Kru!'' The Goblin suddenly started shouting, and Isaac went pale as four more Goblins appeared from the cave!
[Goblin - Level: 11]
[HP: 112/112]
[Goblin - Level: 12]
[HP: 119/119]
[Goblin - Level: 12]
[HP: 123/123]
[Goblin - Level 13]
[HP: 131/131]
The Goblins used their short limbs and started running towards Isaac with their maces, ready to smash Isaac's head in pieces.
[6...]
[18...]
''KRA!'' The Goblin screamed and swung the mace!
Isaac grimaced and used his arm to block, but the impact sent him flying.
''UGH!'' Isaac crashed on the nearby tree— even though he didn't feel pain, it felt like all air escaped his lungs, making breathing much harder!
The Goblin smashed the mace on the ground and started running after Isaac.
[You Lost 77 HP!]
Isaac grimaced after seeing the message popping up. He was correct— the strength of the Goblins was no joke!
The Goblin was still 5 meters away from him— his short limbs didn't make him a fast runner.
Isaac groaned and stood up—he waited until the Goblin was close enough.
The Goblin saw that the human stopped moving— it looked like a slight smirk appeared on his face.
He swung his mace in hopes of killing the foolish human!
But, when the mace was about to hit Isaac, he quickly did a sidestep towards the left as a bunch of messages appeared in front of him.
[0...]
[Reloading Is Ready!]
Isaac quickly took two bullets from his pouch and reloaded the pistol.
''KRUH!'' The Goblin screamed with a sound that would make children and babies cry.
He turned his massive head, which didn't fit his short body at all. He was glaring at Isaac— he swung his mace once again, but then his vision was blocked by the barrel of the Flintlock pistol.
''Goodbye,'' Isaac said and pressed the trigger.
*Bang*
The Goblin widened his eyes and turned into pixels.
[You Killed Goblin!]
[300 XP Earned!]
The four Goblins screamed in anger, but they were still 10 meters away from Isaac.
[5...]
Only 5 seconds remained until his second Flintlock was reloaded.
He pointed with his Flintlock pistol, which had only 1 bullet remaining, towards the Goblins— he aimed it towards the strongest Goblin out of the four.
*Bang*
He squeezed the trigger and watched as the bullet pierced through the Goblin's forehead.
[You Killed Goblin!]
[300 XP Earned!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Level 12 -> Level 13]
The remaining Goblins were now only 5 meters away from Isaac.
But, Isaac turned around and started running away, while the Goblins tried to catch him, but it was an impossible feat.
Isaac started slowing down after noticing that the Goblins seemed to be too far away.
[0...]
[Reloading Is Ready!]
He reloaded his Common Flintlock and stopped running.
He waited as the fastest Goblin arrived 25 meters from him.
Isaac did the first breathing method and aimed the Flintlock pistol towards the Goblin.
*Bang*
The bullet flew like a cannon and pierced through the Goblin's torso.
[-56 HP]
Isaac didn't seem to mind the low HP. He threw it to his Inventory and took an Iron Sword.
He remembered that Dexterity is a special stat for Swordsmen!
But, the Swordsman class has special codes, which allows them to learn Swordsmanship skills and how to use the swords more efficiently.
The Marksman class was the same, it allowed them to aim better.
Isaac also realized that some Shooter classes can't use the same weapons as other Shooter classes, but they can use weapons from different ones, like from Fighter class.
He was certain that it must be because it was very difficult to use weapons from different classes, but if Isaac could use a revolver, he would be overpowered.
Isaac was a complete newbie with a sword, but the Dexterity stat allowed him to use the sword somewhat. He held the iron sword on his left hand and his Flintlock on his right.
The first Goblin arrived in the attacking range, he was about to swing his mace, but Isaac stabbed the sword forward!
''KRUH!'' The sword pierced through the Goblin's throat, but when Isaac saw the damage, he was completely shocked!
[-1 HP!]
''What?!'' Isaac screamed and dropped the sword, he quickly retreated, and now he realized it.
Shooter class can't deal enough damage with swords! Even if they hit a critical spot, the damage is very minimal!
The Goblin took the sword from his throat and threw it towards the ground.
He was angrier than ever before!
The two other Goblins arrived and instantly attacked Isaac!
Isaac dodged the first mace, but the second one hit him in the shoulder!
*Smack*
Isaac landed on the ground painfully— he almost dropped his Flintlock pistol, which would have been a catastrophe.
[You Lost 65 HP!]
The three Goblins went after him, and Isaac's survival seemed very slim.
But... Then salvation arrived.
[0...]
[Reloading Is Ready!]
Isaac took two bullets with his shaky hands and reloaded.
He quickly aimed the Flintlock pistol towards the first Goblin, who was already swinging his mace!
*Bang*
The bullet left the barrel and pierced through the Goblin's heart!
The Goblin turned into pixels, and his mace dropped in front of Isaac.
[You Killed Goblin!]
[180 XP Earned!]
Two Goblins remained, but only 1 bullet!
Isaac gritted his teeth and pointed towards the nearby Goblin, but then he saw that the second Goblin was running right behind the first Goblin, who was almost on attacking range!
Isaac calmed down his nerves and closed his left eye— he did the first breathing method and waited until the Goblin was right in front of him.
*Bang*
He squeezed the trigger and watched as the bullet pierced through the forehead of the first Goblin, but it didn't stop there!
The bullet also pierced through the second Goblin!
They turned into pixels, leaving two maces behind.
