The Fresh Start In An RPG World

The voices were coming from the right, so the three of us hid in some nearby bushes, as soon as we got out of sight two goblins appeared in the fire where we were.

The goblins were very similar to those who appear in games, mini green people, they had something around 5 feet and 20 feet, their noses and ears were pointed, besides thanks to the improved smell of vampires the three of us could feel the stench coming from them.

"You probably smelled the rabbits." Chloe speaks softly.

"Your levels are low so they can't notice us here, usually the sense of smell of the goblins is higher according to their levels, they must have something around two or three, I believe they are newborns just like you." Lucio says watching them carefully.

An analysis like this is only possible thanks to experiences in combat, it shows that Lucio has fought a lot and has a lot of experience, it makes me curious about the status of my tutor.

At that moment I already had three hundred xp, those rabbits that were being fried at the campfire were hunted by me, that's what I kept doing while Lucio went to get Chloe.

~10 rabbits in total = 300 xp~

"Can I beat them?" I say. I guess I ended up showing that I was excited.

Lucio looks at the goblins and then at me, he seemed to be thinking, considering all the possibilities, it was his job as a tutor after all, to teach me to survive in this world like a vampire.

"Unarmed will have no chance." Lucio talks about taking something out of his feelings. "Here, take this."

He handed over the dagger, what was first perceived was the difference between this dagger and the one he was using before, not a question of quality, since just looking at it one could notice that both were very well sharpened and cared for, the difference was in the ornaments in the hem.

"Analyzing the dagger? You look like you're cut out for the fight," says Lucio.

You have no idea', that was what I wanted to say to Lucio, but I am only satisfied with the thought.

"So, what's the plan? I'd like to try and fight." I say.

"The plan is..." Lucio starts talking, but ends up being interrupted by Chloe's action.

"Good luck," she says, giving me a little push, which makes me lose my balance and fall forward out of the bushes.

I fall down doing a roller and then I get up right away.

'That idiot' is what I can think at that time, for some reason I feel that Lucio thought the same thing.

"Well, whatever, just try not to die." Lucio speaks softly, probably so the goblins don't notice them there. "I'm serious, if you die we'll let the goblins eat your body."

Before being pushed I was thinking about some combat strategies, however now that I've been noticed all this has gone down the drain.

"Oripmav mu? Ossi is euq o." The goblin on the right speaks.

"?alhidamra amu, odnarepse son avates him." The second answers.

The two ended up being surprised by my sudden appearance, however instead of attacking they talked to each other, this was the perfect chance, probably an attack now would still take them by surprise.

The one on the left was with two old rusty knives, while the other had a big sword that was almost his size, the choice is clear.

"Tsk... It's been a while since I've done that, but it's now or never." I speak by throwing the dagger at the goblin on the right.

The dagger flies from my hand spinning and hits the goblin's belly, all those fights in my previous life were proving useful.

I aimed at the goblin with the dagger precisely because I thought it was the fastest between the two.

"Sárt arap ri etnet racata ieri, adrem." The goblin on the left speaks trying to wield his sword.

The hit goblin was a few steps ahead of his partner, just as he had planned the other one wasn't so mobile, the sword was too big for him, almost his size, which made the scene very comical since he couldn't move properly.

"...Otium odnargnas uotse." The hit goblin falls to the ground, so it can't move.

Seeing this opportunity I run up to him and pull the dagger, when it was pulled out she ends up cutting even more and opening his wound, the other goblin tries to attack with the sword, but with a kick play his partner over him.

"Otidlam." The second goblin screams as the two fall.

I hold the dagger, it was bathed in blood, again I find myself being attacked by my instincts and I end up l.i.c.k.i.n.g the blood. The taste was even better than the blood of those rabbits, just as Lucio had said the satisfaction was much greater and I clearly felt the d.e.s.i.r.e for more.

"Just run and leave me here, he's too strong to deal with." The goblin who was wounded speaks, he still had a very husky voice, however now I could clearly understand what was said.

"I can't leave you here!" The other one answers.

I'm stunned by the fact that I can understand the goblin, that makes me lower my guard for a little while.

"I still have my card up my sleeve!" The goblin talks from underneath his partner.

"Shit, I ended up getting distracted." I talk about trying to attack one more time by moving forward.

As soon as I take the first step forward the goblin releases a little laughter, at the same time I stop, but it was too late, he pushes his partner to the side and points the palm of his hand towards me.

"Fireball." The goblin speaks and his hand glows red.

"That's it. I throw the dagger in his direction, but I end up missing the target because of the fireball that hits me right in the middle.

Luckily I managed to put my arm in front of my face, the fireball hits him directly, I feel my skin burning and the pain agonising, but at the same moment letters appear in his vision.

~? 120 xp gain ?

One of the goblins was probably killed by the dagger, yet I couldn't see which one, my vision was a little blurred, but as soon as I get it back I can see it clearly once again.

"Tsk..."

So I killed one of them, when I looked back in the direction they were going, one of them had run away, my dagger got ahold of what had already been hit before.

"This will teach you not to be distracted during a battle, you could have been defeated." says Lucio.

"But a goblin using magic is something very rare, he ended up just having a lot of bad luck." Chloe says next.

They both come out of the bushes and walk towards me.

"Status" I think.

By looking at my status I can see that I received twenty points of damage, my HP was now at one hundred and thirty.

"Twenty points of damage..." I'm talking towards the defeated goblin.

"The magic of fireball is low level, it gives the damage of its magical attack basically, its magical defense has protected it from a greater damage." Lucio speaks.

With this information I can calculate, the goblin of before had forty of magic attack, since I have twenty of magic defense.

"You got distracted because you understood what they were saying, right?" says Chloe.

"Yeah, it was all of a sudden, so I ended up being surprised by it." I answer it.

"This is a unique ability of vampires, we gather information from the targets when we drink blood, they also say we absorb the strength of the targets, but this is noticeable only to those compulsive suckers. She trembles as if she feels a chill remembering something.

"We usually learn languages and stuff, but it's a matter of luck."

After defeating this goblin he now had four hundred and twenty of XP, three hundred of the rabbits of before and one hundred and twenty of the goblin.

"So, how about we go hunting? Get you up to the next level soon," says Lucio.

The three of us spent another five hours hunting, in which time I was able to hunt:

~○~○~○~○~○~○~

15 rabbits = 450 xp

3 goblins (level 1) = 180 xp

2 goblins (level 2) = 240 xp

~○~○~○~○~○~○~

Every level one goblin slaughtered by someone without the xp boost will give 40 of xp, they are considered the same thing as two rabbits, when he thinks about it feels a bit sorry.

~○~○~○~○~○~○~

Currently: 1290 xp

For the next level: 710 xp

~○~○~○~○~○~○~

"Those last ones you'll have to hunt without our help." Lucio speaks.

"This is a ritual between us vampires." Chloe complete.

"Help from you? Every time we get close to something you're pushing me up and saying 'Good luck', what kind of help is that?" I answer by showing all my irritation.

"Don't focus on these little details, you'll end up getting old." says Lucio.

"But vampires don't age." answers Chloe.

"It's just a way of speaking." Lucio talks by putting his hand on his face.

At this moment I have a deep-hearted thought, 'Probably it's that idiot god's fault, he's cursing me, he has no other explanation.

"So, we're going." Lucio looks around.

"Try not to die." says Chloe.

"After passing the level, try to find the vampire kingdom on your own, it's part of the tradition." The two of them add up soon after, their speed wasn't something a novice could keep up with.

I really felt they were both annoying, but I'm also sad to see them go, how long has it been since I've had such relaxed conversations? I don't even remember...
