Chapter 178 (1/2)

I ran like hell through the forest. A group of goblins was chasing me from behind.

“Gyaah!”

“This is mine!”

My arms are full of fruit. These are from their territory.

They don’t need them, they can eat meat all the time, right?

I’m going to eat these fruits. So let it go.

The goblins are not slowing down.

It’s alright, if I can make it to the coast, I'll be fine. They can’t go near the sea, right?

Once on the beach, the goblins stopped at the edge of the forest.

Hahaha, it’s a shame! It’s a pity you couldn’t catch me.

I’m going to show them what I can do with this fruit.

“Gnaaar!”

“Stop, or I’ll kill you!”

The globins threw stones at me.

Thud. A large tree fell to the ground.

I picked up the dropped fruit and ran away.

I have been here for a week. I look at the sea from my hut on the beach.

The sea is very strong.

It 's so cold.

If only I had a good level, I could get as much meat as I wanted.

All of the monsters here are stronger than me. And by an abysmal difference.

Even the slime attacked me as if I were prey.

It’s laughable.

Of course, I’ve been steadily raising my level. If it’s just a slime, even the current me can defeat it if I try hard enough.

Thanks to this, my level is now 170.

But it's not enough.

I need to get to 200 at least. If I can get to 200, I should be able to handle the goblins.

I roll over and over.

Suddenly, I notice something unfamiliar in the corner of the room.

It’s a mushroom.

It’s light brown and shiny.

A quick appraisal tells me that it’s edible.

I decided to roast it over a fire and eat it.

“It’s good, isn’t it…? Yeah.”

The mushroom tasted good, even just roasted. The texture is not bad either.

Maybe I’ll have some more.

There are still a few mushrooms growing. If I look closely, there are numerous small mushrooms.

If I can grow and harvest them… I can eat them too.

I pull two of them and roast them over the fire.

Hmmm… this is darker than the others. Well, let’s just eat it.

*Crunch*

“Ahhh.”

My stomach hurts like hell. My bowels are churning and moving.

Why? It was an edible mushroom.

Or was it the rotten fruit I ate before?

When I looked at the mushroom with Appraisal.

Edible mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms grow all together.

You’ve fooled me! You’ve got to be kidding me, you’re just a mushroom!

“Yuck!”

It’s disgusting. I think I’m going to leak.

I stood up and went to the beach, trying to decide whether to do it in the sea or in the woods.

It’s indeed embarrassing to do it on the beach. Even if you don’t see any other people watching, it’s a bit…

And I'll likely be attacked in the forest. Well, it’ll have to be the sea.

I can’t walk with my legs wide open, I’m nearing my limit.

As I reach the edge of the waves, a thought occurs to me.

I’m going to get my clothes wet. But I can’t afford to take them off.

What should I do? What should I do?

I’m not going to do it. Let’s go to the forest.

I turned back and went into the forest.

Aaaaaahhhhh.

I cut down a goblin. The remaining three goblins retreated.

I finally got my level up to the point where I could kill them.

Now that I’m in the 200s, I can kill goblins without problems.

Hahaha, it’s a shame. I’m sure you’re disappointed that I killed your friend.

“Gyah!”

“Heee!”

I thought he was going to run away, but one of the goblins took advantage of the situation and jumped on me.

He choked me and I couldn’t breathe.

This… is bad.

I’ll die.

……

“What?”

The distant consciousness returned at once.
