Goblin Adventurer - Chapter 5
Third day and Guts returned, filed a report and went to second floor of Adventurer Guild where Guild Master Karma is waiting for him, Guts takes 2 days to return, of course he try hunting monsters on his trip during those days while mounted but the thing is not that good, that Panther is big and too fast for him, he only try to take it more easy to return then.
After he filed a report, received some questions from GM Karma and thanking him, he is now ready for his next Quest but GM Karma let him stay and give him some details about what he said last time.
Last time, they’re in a nick of time so GM Karma didnt give majority of details.
From what Guts hear, the ‘Adventurers Guild Main Branch’ isnt against him being an Adventurer, of course they themselves created the ‘Law’, they also send a letter to warn Igarush where his clan reside to not give an Adventurer’s Guild any trouble, and a ‘Land of Contract’ along with the warning.
Titled ‘Watcher’ of the Land.
And the report of Guts about ‘Asura-Bear’ is raiding by 8-man that he saw along and now Cleared, they are ‘Number 1’ Guild.
“Dont associate yourself with those Lunatics” Karma warn him after he saw Guts in deep thought about those guild.
“as for Panther, Im sure my buddy gave you a ride that not everyone can experience ey?” Karma Jokingly said after warning him.
Guts touch his mouth unconsciously and his dark green skin turned pale, Karma laugh out loud
“Our Master really is Happy now” Mei Ru said to Jiya after they heard his Laugh.
“Now then, Jokes aside this is serious trouble” Returning back from Karma’s room.
“The Emergence of Dungeons in this Continent is too big of a problem, on this last 10 days, many party and group of Adventurers are cleanly annihilated, majority of those group are either heavily wounded or killed, others are on verge of dying, some even retired being an Adventurer, his two arm was crippled. This year Level-1 and Level-2 Adventurers offsprings fall short because of these current events.. Sigh” He said and sigh after he pause for a while.
==========
“I know this is kind of cheating, or counted as I dont like you or what not for your point of view, but still, I reserve a slot for you, the meeting place was at Nocturne Village, I let you borrow Panther again this time, but he only accompanied you till there as this is your ‘true’ first Mission.
The Dungeon type is Undead. Please be safe” Guts stormbrain what GM Karma said after he departed.
He first explain that, the Dungeon was Hard type for beginner Adventurer but still, he reserve some slot especially for him. But Guts only said to himself, ‘He Karma Had great expectations from me’.
Before long, he Arrived at Nocturne Village.
‘Too small’ he thought. Of course comparing a City and a Village is another question.
When Guts First entered the forest, about hundred meter away, the environment changed to night-time, but not literally as only the forest is blocking the sunlight from the outside, and that was why this Village called ‘Nocturne’.
He Entered inside the Tavern according to the Quest, then he gave the ‘Quest’ Paper to Bartender.
The Bartender then pointed the Group of 4-hooded-Man Adventurer at the right corner of the tavern.
They too saw him, then the big guy in front snorted to Guts after it saw him, ‘Hmmp’ it said. then the other Guy swept the body of the guy who Snort to Guts using its hand and uncover its hood.
Guts surprised after he saw the round wolf inside its hood, it then said.
“As I thought, its Guts! yo!” its Olf.
“I am your 5-man raid Leader for this time!” Olf bump fist to Guts, and then the others followed up to welcome him to their group except the big guy.
“As I thought, when I receive a report that the last guy came from Kerashval I knew it was you, so then where is Panther?” Olf Curiously asks.
“He already departed, he only drop me by, and I don’t want to give GM Karma anymore headache” Guts Scratch the back of his head and laugh silently.
Afterwards others bombarded him some multiple and random questions like, “Is that a horn?”, “that’s one heck of a Horn!”, “are you really a Goblin?”, “what does it feel to ride Sir Karma’s Panther?”, “this is your first mission right?”, “I will go to Kerashval next time! Lets become friend!”, but the big guy only snorted and muttered ‘Puny Goblins!’ and ‘Stupid!’, Guts blindly let it slide even though he hear it all clearly.
A minute later after they became acquainted.
“Alright Let’s Go! time is of the essence! we’ll have another group to introduced and I’m sure they’re waiting, our group is the nearest of that Dungeon so, lets go” said by Olf after he stand up.
==========
After they Arrived at new emerged ‘Nocturne Dungeon’ just like Olf said, though they were the second team raiding this dungeon, the other groups already waiting.
With additional to them they are now 10-man.
“Im Olf Level-3 and the Group leader of our team” said Olf
“Kuno, also Level-3” said by Kuno and they shakes hand, he is pureblood Human, full of wringkles, white hair and small white beard. After the 10 being acquainted to one another, Olf and Kuno started to plan according to their party composition, they had.
4 Vanguards: 2 Knights and 2 Pugilist:
The 2 knights is equipped with different type of heavy shield, the First knight is the big guy who hated Guts, the armor and sword of second knight isnt that good compared to the first knight. the Pugilist is Olf and a white pale small girl with Deep Black hair but because she’s hooded Guts forgot her presence a second later, though she’s touching her left arm like its injured or something, maybe because of her big gauntlet, because she’s equipped it on her left hand, theres also some fresh injuries all over her lower body, Kuno and Olf want her to abandon the Quest because she may fall their team down, but she insists.
‘I want money’, ‘I won’t!…If! even a tiny bit! that I, Xasha, will cause of our team’s downfall, I without a second thought will Immediately cut my throat with my own dagger!’ she said with watery eye gripping her dagger’s hilt. The duo doesn’t have a choice.
Let’s Return to the Topic.
3 of them are Archers, and is on their middle:
They’re equipped with the same type of long bow and arrow except the third one whose using short bow, thats the second group Leader, Kuno, he’s mid-range type.
Next was
2 Mages which is in their rear:
1 are Aquamancer, the counter for undead type. and a Healer, categorized as mage but specialized for healing, and other negative status. of them 6 are level-2, The Aquamancer and Guts was the only level-1.
Guts was counted as Phantom, as he had a dagger and Shord Sword, still he’s in the middle of Archers and Mages, he is their lifeline said by Kuno. As for strategy and communication, Olf was the Vanguards captain, Kuno is Rear and Middle captain. Of Course Guts has his own world as he isnt the main attacker.
“Learn from veteran!” said by Olf, he saw Guts feeling down after Guts saw his position, later did he know that his very position was the most deadly.
==========
This Dungeon is newly emerged so people here only just called it Nocturne Dungeon without much thought, after the raid team entered, Stink of corpse is what they smell, and a heavy cloudy fog was hovering inside which they called ‘Miasma’.
“So damn Creepy” said the big guy, their first knight.
A minute later, their scout returned, which is the 2 archers. this 2 archers are from different groups where others came from Guts’ 5-man group, because sometimes there was a conspiracy about ‘Scouts’ being dismantled the traps but only they annihilate the party on ‘purpose’. thats one of the flaw of Adventurer, and the higher ups doesnt have a solution so far.
“There are 2 way road 500 meters ahead, We also finished dismantling the traps along the way” said the first archer.
“What to do Leader?” the 2 archers are looking back and forth to Olf and Kuno.
“”Lets go to the left”” Olf and Kuno nod and said to one another.
In a Dungeon, 2 way or 3 way road isnt a big deal as majority of Dungeon, at the very End, was of course the Dungeon Boss, the ‘Big’ Difference was, if by chance the other way, whose full of monster was ‘called’ by the Boss of the Dungeon during the party raid, it can affect the outcome of the battle, so others had no choice but to return again and raid the other way after another, or they distribute the party.
But the Level-3 Leader, Olf and Kuno doesn’t want to risk the distribution of their party.

Its been a week since Im here! I manifested tons of skeletons under me, ho ho~ with this blue like crystals Im struck gold!! HA HA HA! bitches! but…. How the fuck am I going to exchange this thing!! this whole week Im only leveled up to 4 after I killed those low level mob, I mean they’re Human but so what! theyre shit as fuck! Now! my Level grow.
In every game I played this level is shittingly low! I hate it, then when I glance at my left side, che! a shitty Death Knight, he was strongest that I summoned so I don’t care, I summoned him 4 days ago, still this Guy irritated me the most. why? I dont know, maybe because he isnt a girl? Tch!.
Now then, I, a Lich try to go out of the surface, from this cave! but I can’t, I mean I really can’t! goddamnit! I always returned at this chamber of mine after many attempt!, sigh..

….
*TTANG TTANG*
This sound! My 1027 skeleton this time was destroyed! Again! They almost here!? He He Im waiting here like eternity guys!
According to my skeleton there really is an entrance, but I can’t even see the entrance! Even if a skeleton accompanied me to go outside, the space was distorting and I always end up inside my room again!
Oh fuck! Now my Skeleton was swept clean and dry! The second wave is coming!
From my analysis, this cave stengthen my skeletons and even my Death Knight, so of course do I. This is all thanks to this thick red, violet and heavy fog.
If giving more time, Im sure I can manifest more and Strengthen my army of skeletons, but because of this fucking bugs, my skeleton army annihilated again.
These bugs are now in front of me, even though my army all armed, it only corrosive weapons and armors, still I mix it with skeleton mage, theyre all still not this shitty team’s match. And again this 10-man insects is front of me. last time its only 5! che!
After this, Ill let my Death Knight Guard the Entrance later after this, so that They wont disturb me for the time being While I strengthening my army for good!.
All I have to do is to Stomp this insects before me like usual.
‘Death Knight, Destroy those clothed person from their back row!, Ill entertain their front line!’ I command Death Knight and again summon many skeletons.
In every RPG game I played, Back row of the party was the most vulnerable from frontal attacks kuku, Lets play a bit, please dont Die faster like the last time, Insects!
HA HA HA, now then! let the killing begin!
