6 CHAPTER 6: Leveling
Happy reading!
================
Ethan, who had now run away from the reptile-shaped creature, looked back for a moment and saw that the creature was not chasing him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief while muttering softly. "Fortunately, if he summons his flock here then I will definitely die in large numbers."
Before he was about to leave, he immediately checked behind him to see if the creature was really not chasing him.
"System, please tell me what that reptile-like creature is about?" asked Ethan, who had now regained his composure.
[Host, they are creatures called The Lizardman, usually creatures like that can live in water or on land.]
When he saw the explanation from the system, he immediately knew the name of the creature itself, before he was about to say anything he was immediately cut off by the system again which made his expression very shocked when he saw the notification.
[Ah, by the way, these creatures called lizard people have intelligence like humans, their way of life is also the same and the only difference is that lizard people can live in water.]
After reading what the system explained earlier, he immediately froze for a moment with a face full of disbelief.
"h-huh! Doesn't that mean they're going to sneak attack me?!" Ethan screamed in his heart and once again he looked around to make sure that what he was thinking was wrong.
[Host, don't worry, I have confirmed that the creature is not chasing you at all!]
Seeing the notification from the system made him feel relieved, as he continued to stare at the pink panel with teary eyes.
"...I don't know why only now do I feel grateful to be able to have you by my side even though not even a day has passed..." He said, initially showing tears, but then his expression turned sour.
[of course the host! Even the owner before you said the same thing!]
Ethan couldn't help but show an amused smile when he saw the system boasting about itself.
"haha, you are still so annoying, system, it hasn't even been a day since you appeared…" he said in a slightly joking tone.
Even though it was said as a joke, the system is still very annoying, but when needed it appears like a savior and helps its owner.
[...Do you want to be slapped one more time, host...?]
Ethan immediately pretended to cough when he saw the system which was now angry, then he said with an expression full of seriousness and alertness, and was prepared if the system would really do that again. "Hehe, I'm just joking, so please don't hit me in the face..."
[hmph, as long as you understand then it's fine!]
He immediately took a deep breath when he saw that the system couldn't beat him anymore, then without saying a word he immediately left the place to look for his prey.
---------------------
Lizardman's point of view.
"Village chief, just now I saw humans in our area, what should we do?" muttered the creature Ethan had just met.
"What?! Is what you saw true? Then, bring that human here and greet him in a friendly manner." the village chief said to him with a joyful expression.
"But, Village Chief, isn't it too risky to bring humans to our place? Even though it has been almost 50 years since humans last visited this place." he asked with a face full of seriousness.
"It doesn't matter, because we know that the humans who come here are messengers from the gods themselves."
Seeing the answer from the village head, he could only sigh softly, before he was about to leave the place he immediately bowed twice to the village head then left the place leaving only himself.
"I hope the prediction from the ancient book is correct..." said the Lizardman village chief with a sharp gaze and a wide grin on his face.
------------------------
[Congratulations, Host has killed a small poisonous snake, gained 2 exp, remaining 25/30 exp to reach level 2!]
"Huft- finally during my search for half an hour I found a snake's nest around the ruins..." he muttered as he pulled out his sword from the body of the snake that had just been stabbed.
Purple blood was immediately visible on the snake's body, but Ethan didn't care at all about that sight.
"Okay, I have 5 more exp to reach level 2, I better keep looking for weak monsters..." After saying that he immediately walked away from the rocks while continuing to circle the area once again.
"Even though I knew from the system that this place used to be very big, I didn't expect that there were several towering green trees around this place..." he muttered in a low tone, as he continued to look up and saw a tree that was almost as tall as reaching 100 meters with very large tree roots.
"Whatever it is, I have to go hunting soon, only then can I finish this tutorial." he said with determination shining on his face, then without thinking he immediately ran away from the forest area while continuing to look left and right to look for his prey.
For several minutes Ethan continued searching, he immediately stopped in his tracks when he saw several creatures he had fought when he entered the first floor.
"hm... Goblins! But there are quite a lot of them, I doubt I can kill them all with my own hands."
Before he could retreat from that place, a goblin from the crowd felt someone stepping on a wooden branch at that place.
"uh... Damn, I'm sure they won't let me get away with it!" Knowing that he wouldn't be able to run away from the goblins, Ethan immediately prepared his stance while holding his sword between his hands.
'Since this has happened, I will fight to the death!' he thought to himself as he continued to stare at the goblins who were preparing to draw their weapons from their shoulders.
'Yes... Although I won't die completely either...' After muttering those words in his mind, he immediately walked towards the goblins while remaining alert.
"grrr-" a wary murmur came from the crowd of goblins when they saw the human heading towards them.
Because the goblins were gathered in one place, this hampered their movements when they wanted to retreat from Ethan's attack.
[Gained 5 Exp from killing goblins, 30/30 exp has been gained!]
[Congratulations, Host has reached Level 2, Gain +1 Point from beauty feature.]
[Get 10 Lucky Coins if you successfully kill a Goblin.]
[Requires 0/50 exp to reach level 3, good luck, host!]
After he read the notification in front of him, he could immediately feel that his body and mana energy within him had increased.
Different from before when he reached level 1, now he could feel the improvement he received. because level 1 is only equivalent to world expert athletes, so it could be said that our protagonist has already surpassed the limitations of an ordinary human body.
But Ethan didn't pay attention to the notification, after all he was still right in front of the group of goblins.
*clang* *clang*
Once again he charged straight towards the surrounding goblins, with a crashing sound ringing out in the area which made the goblins panic a little.
"squirt-"
Blood suddenly spurted out when Ethan managed to hit one of the goblin's bodies and split it into two parts.
[Gained 5 exp from killing goblins, remaining 5/50 exp left to reach level 3.]
[Get 10 Lucky Coins by killing goblins.]
"11 more left, now I am more confident because my overall strength has increased again." he muttered with a serious expression on his face, after which, without caring about the goblins' reactions, he instantly killed one of the crowd in front of him.
[gained 5 exp from killing goblins, remaining 10/50 exp left to reach level 3.]
[Get 10 Lucky Coins by killing goblins.]
[gained 5 experience...]
[...]
Without stopping, Ethan continued to kill the goblins at a speed that could rival the basilisk.
Then he immediately stopped hunting when he saw the number of goblins reduced to 5.
Seeing that the goblins were able to move freely while moving away from him, made him a little disappointed about that.
'Tch, even though he only has 15 more experience to reach level 3...' thought Ethan as he suddenly saw a notification appear before his eyes.
[Obtained the Ability Called Swordsmanship [Level 1] please view the information by clicking here!]
He could see there was a 'view' button near the bottom of the text.
Without thinking twice, he immediately pressed the button which suddenly changed and showed information about the ability he had just acquired.
[Swordsmanship is a technique that can only be activated when the host holds a sharp weapon in your hand! As for how to use it, you only need to keep swinging your sword, that way your body will start to get used to the movements of the swordsmanship ability.]
Even though Ethan was a little confused by the explanation, it still made him very happy when he saw that it was a very useful ability.
"Okay, since I have this ability, I want to try it while fighting those five goblins." after he said those words, his gaze was sharp but also contained a hint of sword intent.
Without thinking, he immediately ran towards the center where the goblin was. Of course, the goblin didn't have time to react at all when he saw Ethan speed towards him.
However, because he had the Sense ability, he immediately dodged the attack with a slight wound visible on his cheek.
"grr...-" the goblin groaned with a frightened expression while backing away slightly.
"Heh, don't think you can escape from here!" Ethan immediately knew what the goblin was up to.
And what Ethan thought was true, the goblin in the middle was preparing to run away but before he could turn around again, he suddenly felt a sharp stab straight towards his chest.
"grr...-" the goblin immediately let out a low groan of pain before he regained consciousness and fell off the ground.
[Gained 5 exp from killing goblins, remaining 40/50 exp left to reach level 3.]
[get 10 lucky coins from killing a goblin.]
"huft- there are still 4 more..." he muttered softly while taking a deep breath.
Because he was still not satisfied with testing his sword's skills, he immediately attacked one of the goblins around him.
"Hehe, I'll make that goblin my punching bag, that way I can continue to master my newly acquired abilities." After saying that, he immediately walked calmly towards one of the goblins.
