章 5: Level Up
Charlus went to nearest supermarket and got a pocket knife. He wanted to get a hunting rifle but he would need a gun license. Getting one would be a hassle. He would have preferred a longer weapon like a spear or sword but he was in the modern age.
He couldn't go to a shop and ask if that person had a sword of good quality. This was not ancient times. Only mad men would carry things like those around. It was not like Charlus didn't want a better weapon. In fact, Charlus had also ordered a custom made dagger. He didn't want a spear because he didn't know how to use it.
Charlus took the pocket knife as well as a complete set of camping gear. He got it shipped to his house. Then he packed some supplies and stored everything in his inventory. He put a lot of stuff in a single bag pack for it to count as one item. It looks like even this game has bugs.
Finally, Charlus went to the park. He stood in front of the same bench he was sitting on that day. After reconsidering his decision, he finally went into the forest. On the way to the lake he also accepted the Quest. He didn't want to kill all the goblins and suddenly realize that he hadn't even accepted the quest.
Charlus went to the lake side and went to the other side. He hoped to encounter goblins. He didn't want to go to the Goblin Settlement to kill the goblins. That was too risky. Charlus cared too much about his life. Moreover, he didn't know how strong the Goblin Chieftain was.
Charlus finally came across a single goblin gathering berries while he was on his way to the other side of the lake. He took out his knife and crept towards it. By the time the goblin realized that there was a person behind it Charlus stabbed it.
[You have defeated a Goblin]
[10 Exp Awarded]
[You have received Common Material: Goblin Tooth]
"Why goblin teeth?! What will I do with that?"
Charlus became irritated. He showed this anger on the poor goblins that he encountered. Three goblins suffered his wrath before he calmed down. Of course, this had to do with the excitement he got from finally levelling up.
[You have gained 30 Exp]
[You have gained enough Exp]
[You are now Lvl 2]
[You have gained 5 AP]
Charlus was excited. He finally got some stats! If he put everything into Str, he would be almost twice as strong as he would be normally. Charlus wanted to test this immediately. This was because he wanted to test whether increasing his stats really made a difference.
Charlus put everything into Str. He actually felt the difference immediately. He went and found a goblin to fight. He was able too easily lift the goblin - easier than before. He whacked it to the ground and it fainted.
"Wow! Should I put everything into Str then? Wait, if I am a strength based fighter, wouldn't I have to battle monsters head on. Then if I become a mage, won't I be able to attack from far? Even better, if I become a summoner, wouldn't I be able to sit back and relax while my summoned beasts will do all the work?"
Charlus decided to not allot any stats unless necessary. He wanted to first choose a job. He didn't even know what jobs were available to him.
Charlus looked at his status for the amount of Exp for the next level up.

Charlus was able to find ten more Goblins before lunch. He found it hilarious when he thought about it. He was comparing killing Goblins to fishing and other casual activities. He was halfway to Lvl 3 and he was looking forward to it. He wanted to be at least Lvl 3 before looking for the boss.
Even if he found the boss, he wouldn't charge straight in. He wasn't the Hulk - he wasn't that strong and he wasn't that stupid. He would first scout to see if there were any strong subordinates and then see if the boss was stronger than him. While levels weren't a perfect assessment of one's strength, they were very accurate. Charlus was hoping they were.
Charlus was thinking of this plan to kill the entire Goblin colony while slowly enjoying a beef burger. Perhaps this was his nature - Psychopathic to the core.
