Chapter 4 - Quest
Charlus going in the direction he picked and he arrived at a lake.
"Of all the directions to pick, why did I have to pick the only wrong one?!"
His scream drew some attention. Two Goblins appeared before him. Charlus sighed and pointed his stick at them. This did nothing to stop their advance.
Charlus checked their levels.
[Goblin Lvl 1]
[Goblin Lvl 1]
Thank god they were still level ones. They would probably be just like the goblin he encountered in the forest. Charlus got ready for them to jump.
They jumped together, but Charlus was ready for it. He caught the first one and started moving wildly. This caused the second one to lose hold of him. In this time he plunged the goblin into the water and knocked him out. Since the goblin was smaller, it lost consciousness quickly. The second goblin faced the same fate when it jumped at Charlus.
Charlus found a sharp rock by the lake and killed the unconscious goblins with it.

"What happened to my first tooth?"
Suddenly, a huge grid filled box appeared in front of Charlus.
"Holy shit! An inventory?!"
The inventory had 10 boxes coloured white while the others were all gray. The Goblin Tooth was in one of the boxes, and the number three was to the bottom right.
Charlus reached out to the Goblin Tooth and took it out. It was a very small tooth that was similar to a human tooth.
"Eww!"
Charlus threw away the tooth. It was slimy and did not feel good to touch. Charlus shook his head and closed the inventory.
Over the next few minutes, Charlus came across three more goblins. He gained three more teeth and 30 more Exp. The minute he killed the last goblin, a screen appeared in front of him.

Charlus though about it. He knew that if he went in the opposite direction he came from, he would be able to get to civilization. He would be able to get back to his normal life. He could forget all this ever happened. He could just go on with his life and ignore the weird bars above other people.
But could Charlus go back to his normal life. After having a taste of this life of killing Goblins, would Charlus be able to go back? And by receiving this power, didn\'t he also receive a responsibility.
"Responsibility my foot! I need to see what that Goblin Chieftain looks like. If this goblin is so small like a kid, how big could the Chieftain be?"
Charlus first went back to the park side of the forest. He went back the direction he came from. He didn\'t encounter any Goblins on the way.
"I must have killed all of them."
Charlus finally came out from the other side. Everyone noticed him coming and looked at him weirdly.
"Mommy! Caveman!"
Charlus heard a boy talk to his mother and looked at himself. His clothes were in tatters and barely covered him. While the goblins weren\'t able to kill him, or even scratch him, they were able to destroy his clothes.
"I will call all of those bastards."
"Mommy, the caveman became angry!"
The boy hugged his mother."
Charlus felt embarrassed. He mouthed a sorry to the mother and ran towards his scooter. Thankfully he hadn\'t lost his keys and mobile phone in the forest.
He quickly went to his house and threw his clothes in the dustbin.
"Mental Note to self - Don\'t take good clothes to forests when going after imaginary creatures.
Second Mental Note to self - Don\'t be too surprised if diagnosed with madness."
