I am redoing the series because I was not convinced by what was originally written.

==============

Gabriel opened his eyes. The first thing he saw were oak branches covered in leaves. Through the gaps between branches and leaves, he could see a beautiful blue sky with the sun at its highest point. The sky was completely clear of clouds, giving him a perfect view of the sky.

Gabriel straightened up and surveyed his surroundings. He was lying on the grass with vast nature growing around him. It seemed to be a virgin forest that humans had never been to.

"Where I am?" Gabriel wondered.

He stood up trying to remember what happened yesterday, but other than going to his room to sleep, he didn't remember anything out of the ordinary.

At that moment, an inorganic voice like the one that would belong to a robot echoed in Gabriel's head.

[Welcome Regulars to the Proving Grounds]

[From now on, the Tutorial will begin]

[There will be monsters that will be summoned at random locations on the Testing Ground] [Your mission is to subjugate them to become stronger]

[Tutorial Objective: Survive for 100 days.]

[The Quest Window has been activated.]

[Quest - First Blood: Kill a Summoned Monster (0 / 1)]

The voice stopped as quickly as it started. Confused, he looked up in disbelief with numerous questions brewing in his head.

This is a dream?
He wondered, but it all felt too real to be just a simple dream.

Not knowing how to feel about it, he could only sigh and think about what to do next.

He was worried, he was not a brave person, much less a fighter. If he had to kill or be killed, of course he would fight for his life, but if possible he didn't want to kill anyone.

A transparent window appeared in front of his eyes.

[Choose a starting weapon]

  1. Sword and Shield
  2. short spear
  3. Bow and Arrow (Quiver of 10 arrows)

"So at least they give us weapons" He thought as he chose the short spear, he didn't have any knowledge about the bow or the sword apart from some things he had seen on television.

His spear knowledge was also no greater than these two, but he had learned some basics of using a long staff in his youth, the difference between a staff and a spear shouldn't be that great so he could use it somehow. .

I could see how the shape of a spear appeared in front of me. It was really strange to see how the weapon suddenly appeared in front of him as if by magic.

He took the spear and checked it. It seemed to be made of a material analogous to metal, but much lighter than it.

First I practice a bit with it, checking the weight and how much I could do with it. Since it was lighter than a normal iron spear, it was very easy to maneuver even if you didn't know anything about using one.

Also when I try to cut a tree with it, it was able to go through several inches without any problem, so it had a high quality edge that could cut through meat without any problem.

"With this I think I can do it" He muttered as he squeezed the handle of the spear. He had no certainty that even with a weapon he could kill the monsters hiding in this place, but whether he wanted it or not, he had to do it to survive.

Spear in hand, he psyched himself up before starting to walk. His steps were slow but steady, as he passed through the place.

The terrain was not the best due to the thick vegetation, which made him have to take more care of his steps to avoid falling off by accident.

After walking around for a while, it didn't take long for him to come across something that was very familiar to him and he had seen countless times.

"Is that... a goblin ?" He asked himself.

The weakest creature in any work of fiction (not counting the slime ), was the Goblin . Also called the Starter Monster and the Green Plague, they were familiar creatures across the fantasy scene, used extensively as disposable, starter monsters only good for the first story arc.

It was not very difficult to describe one of them, beings with an ugly face, pointed ears and skin dyed in a deep green color.

Gabriel didn't know whether to feel happy to meet the so-called [Weakest Monster] or uncomfortable knowing that the creature in front of him would have to die under his hands.

Not knowing how to feel, he only clenched his hands on the shaft of the spear. A sense of security washed over him as he felt the metal in his hands.

First he checked the Goblin , it was eating, although he couldn't see exactly what. Since he was eating, he was not aware of his surroundings and was only focused on eating as quickly as possible.

The sound of meat being torn, crushed by teeth, and swallowed resounded throughout the place.

He kept looking for a few minutes until he finally understood that he really was foolish enough not to look at his surroundings.

I guess that's what I should expect from a Goblin . Thought.

breath he began to walk very slowly towards the creature in front of him.

Don't be afraid . He muttered internally as he slowly got closer.

It's just one hit, one hit will be enough . His thoughts became more and more erratic as the distance between them narrowed.

The distance went from a dozen meters to so close that if she reached out her hand she could touch it.

The goblin was not paying attention to anything other than the meat of some kind of rabbit that it was devouring, completely ignoring its surroundings.

Taking a last silent breath, he slowly rose to a more comfortable position so that he could wield his spear more freely.

DO IT . He muttered to himself as he put strength into his hands and stabbed in the direction of the Goblin .

He realized it by the slight sound of something cutting through the air, but it was too late for him. A strange sensation was felt in his chest, when under his gaze he could see the tip of a spear piercing his chest.

A warm, metallic sensation welled up in his throat as he began to spit up blood. This quickly turned into blood filled vomit.

Gabriel, seeing this, could only drop his spear in panic, seeing how the greenish creature was moving erratically while the blood spilled faster and faster from its throat and wound.

The Goblin , not knowing what to do, tried to remove the spear from his back, but the more he moved the wound became wider and the blood gushed faster and faster.

The Goblin began to scream in panic, pain, and fear as he felt his body lose strength and life slip through his fingers. In a matter of minutes the Goblin stopped moving, but its eyes stared in horror at the mysterious being that had taken its life.

Slowly the glow escaped from the goblin 's eyes … he had died.

Gabriel just stayed on the ground looking at the Goblin with an indescribable feeling.

He didn't know how to feel about what he had done. To see how the Goblin had been reversing in his own blood desperately trying to prevent his inevitable death. It was just an unpleasant feeling.

Gabriel got up and tried to stop thinking about it, but the scene in front of him only made him feel dizzy. He had to endure the urge to vomit and the increasing feeling of nausea.

Only with her willpower was she able to keep from spilling everything in her stomach.

Only when his mind calmed down did he hear an inorganic voice in his head.

[Congratulations, you have subdued a { Lesser Wild Goblin }]

[Mission – { First Blood } – has been completed]

[Granting Reward]

With the inorganic voice echoing in his head, he felt a warm sensation enveloping his entire body and strengthening him.

Not only had his body been strengthened, but his mind, which was in a bad state due to the psychological pressure of what he had done, had been strangely healed. As if all mental fatigue was gone.

[Awakening completed]

[Grant Access to Status Window]

"So this is the reward for [First Blood]" he muttered internally as he pulled out the Goblin 's spear with a sharp movement. He still had mixed feelings about what he had done, but the psychological pressure on his action was now nonexistent.

He could think better and didn't have many thoughts about what he had done now. The only thing he thought was that it was necessary for his goal, and all his actions were justified.

She knew this was strange and somewhat dangerous, but she didn't want to think about it too much at the moment.

goblin 's corpse , he noticed his blood that had created a small pool of blood and the smell of it seemed to spread slowly towards the surroundings.

She didn't know if the smell of blood could alert other monsters, so she decided to quickly leave the place and go back the way she came. It's not like I wanted to spend another minute in this place either.

It didn't take long for him to get to where he originally was. His now strengthened body greatly helped him to be able to move more freely, and the spear in his hand was much lighter than it originally was.

Feeling the benefits of leveling up, he couldn't help but want to get more of them.

He wondered how strong he would become once he leveled up again.

While thinking about this, he muttered “Status Window”

A transparent window formed in front of his eyes.

—Status window—
