Goblin Slaughterhouse
Hyeonjun arrived at the guild at dawn when the sun hadn’t even risen yet. I thought he would have arrived first, but Vans was out first.
“How fast did you get out?”
“I shouldn’t be late.”
The two laughed and sat down on the chairs on either side. We waited patiently without saying anything to each other. Barnes has a quiet personality, and Hyun-jun was originally a cautious and quiet personality. Laughing and talking well was just a way of life learned to survive in a harsh society.
Although it was a short time, the two became quite close and felt comfortable with each other even without raising the atmosphere with words. Hyeon-jun put his helmet on top of his leg and calmed himself down by running his hand over the curve of the iron head he was used to.
“Good morning.”
“It’s late, man.”
“Still, you’re not in last place.”
Shosanna strode over and sat down beside Barnes. After a while, he must have been bored, so he pulled out a dagger, trimmed his nails, and tossed it around.
“Then the fingers fly off.”
“Mom, I’m all grown up too.”
Hyeonjun’s words were answered by Shosanna. It is a humorous version of ‘Never mind.’
“No matter how big you are, you are always a child to your mother.”
“Damn, that’s what my mom used to say.”
“ha ha ha!”
This time, Shosanna took a hit at Hyeonjun’s sly words. Vance’s laughter echoed through the quiet guild.
“What, you’ve already arrived.”
Yetir came in and said.
“Hey, I waited a very long time because of you.”
“Okay man, how are you going to take responsibility?”
“Hey, isn’t this enough to pay a fine?”
“Ayyyyy… sorry. Sorry.”
In fact, the sun hasn’t risen yet, and Yetir is never late. In fact, in the guild, except for Hyun-joon’s party, there are only employees who are dozing off. Still, when we originally got together, the one who was the last one was late.
“Come on, let’s start. I want you to stay alert. I will run hard until tomorrow.”
Listening to Barnes’ words, the party departed. It moved with the right amount of tension and the right amount of leisure. If you’re already nervous, you’ll feel tired during battle and it’s easy to make mistakes. There is no such kid at this party.
And when I entered the forest, I naturally took my position. Shosanna and Barnes are in the center, Yetir is on the left, and Hyunjun is on the right. It was because he hoped that Hyun-joon, who had gained confidence, would stand on the right side. It is a place where you can kill a lot of goblins.
And not long after, he encountered a group of goblins. 7 dogs Just ten days ago, they were walking around in groups of three or four, but I realize that the number has increased. It’s growing too fast for sure.
“Let’s do what we do. As usual.”
I moved slowly while listening to Barnes’ leisurely words. They really did what they were supposed to do. Blocking the front with a shield and killing them step by step from the side. It only took 30 seconds. The ears were also skillfully cut and taken care of.
“A good start.”
Yetir whistled. Everyone agreed with a smile.
From then on, the battle continued. Now, I couldn’t even meet a group of goblins under 6. There were at least 7 and at most 13.
No matter how many of them there were 13, everyone struggled. Because the Yetir wields a spear without a shield, it can be dangerous if several goblins cling to it. In the end, they fought around Yetir. The most active was Yetir. In a safe place in the middle of the party, he stretched his arms high and stabbed them down, killing them with excitement. The rest were busy blocking the goblins from clinging to their shields.
“Let’s rest!”
Everyone agreed with Shosanna’s cry. Barnes, who always had a spare time, was exhausted and led the party to the outskirts.
“Today and tomorrow I have to get out of the woods. There are also many goblins outside.”
In fact, the party couldn’t even go deep into the forest compared to before. Even though it was only at the level of scanning the outside, I had to fight a huge number of goblins.
We got out of the forest and sat down on the plain to have lunch. Hyeonjun ate a thick piece of sausage and bread. In order to grow your body, you need to take care of your diet. It is also one of the reasons for leaving the beggarly Helen’s inn.
“Hey, how many did you catch?”
“I don’t know, 70 or so?”
Hyeonjun sneakily checked the status window.
[Hyeonjun Kang]
Attribute: Analysis
Protection: Protection of the Goddess of Education and Growth
Karma: 91
91! 13 rose only in the morning. If I keep going like this in the afternoon, I will be able to exceed 100. A genuine laugh came out.
“Even if we go back like this, it’s 140 fairy tales.”
“If you do this much in the afternoon, it’s 280.”
“Hey, aren’t you going to take a silver coin tomorrow if you do well?”
“If you have 200 goblin ears, it would be more of a problem to carry them around.”
In fact, even now, goblin ears are cumbersome. I put it in a big sack, but when I meet a goblin, I throw it around and fight.
Everyone was full of dreams and ecstatic. Yetir boasted that he was going to drink and play for a while, and Shosanna said that she would go back to her hometown to see her family. He told his parents that if he added the money he earned and saved, he would get five silver coins, and that he would buy an old cow.
Barnes said he would buy the armor. If you go up to E-class, you will be given more difficult commissions as you will be given more rewards and treatment. If you run out of equipment, you may lose your job. Hyeonjun also decided to buy an armor. Right now, I am holding on only with Gambison and a helmet, but I am well aware of the importance of iron armor.
He killed a goblin in the afternoon as well. Hopes and dreams gave them strength. Power surged up. Just do it until tomorrow! I fought hard with that thought. Eventually, it was only when it got dark little by little that I had to hurriedly get out of the forest. I was so engrossed in it that I didn’t even notice the time passing.
“Oh, that’s really annoying. take turns.”
“Yeah, not yet.”
“Oh, really!”
Hyeonjun put the sack over his shoulder and grumbled. 167 goblin ears collected. A huge number. I filled the sack I brought with me. It wasn’t heavy, but it was cumbersome to carry and had a bad smell.
He said it like he was annoyed, but Hyeon-joon couldn’t contain his joy either. All the same. 167 goblin ears, 334 fairy tales! Even if you divide it into 4 parts, you have 83 pieces and 2 pieces left. With a daily wage of 83 fairy tales, there is no one who refuses even though it is difficult.
Everyone laughed loudly and chatted loudly. They joked around, cursed at each other, bumped into each other, pushed and pulled, and giggled while walking happily. Everyone was in a hurry and almost ran.
Fortunately, the party returned to Bimarn before the sun completely set and headed straight to the guild. Everyone was excited like a child with anticipation.
When I handed over the bag containing the goblin ears, the guild staff freaked out. He even chatted a little bit. It was the first time they had collected so many goblin ears while working as a guild employee for several years. I frowned at the horror of it.
But work is work, so I quickly checked the goblin ears. Make sure it’s the left ear. It’s because there are guys who secretly bring the right ear and try to eat more.
“I got 167 goblin ears. 334 fairy tales.”
Barnes received a heavily loaded sack. Everyone in the guild focused on the staff’s words. 167 goblin ears! The remaining adventurers also went to the forest to catch goblins, but no team caught that many.
Barnes dragged the party into an out-of-the-way corner and split the money quickly. Everyone smiled, holding heavy sacks of money. Hyeon-joon shoved the sack into Gambison and pounded it. The others each packed their sacks to a safe place.
“Ac dirty.”
“This is the most certain.”
Shosanna made a big impression on Yetir, who tied a string on his trousers and shoved the sack into his trousers. said Yetir, sticking out his bulging groin.
“Ugh, sick. take care of it.”
“You have the rest, Barnes. After work tomorrow, let’s split it together.”
Barnes nodded at Hyeonjun’s words. Because I decided to go to rest today for tomorrow’s sake, I couldn’t do ‘leftover money at the bar’ like I always did.
“If you are late tomorrow, pay the fine. I can’t make it because I’m late!”
At Vance’s words, everyone chatted casually, said hello, and parted ways. Since we had spoken beforehand, we only walked on the main road and returned to the inn. It’s a lot of money, so there may be people who are looking for it.
As soon as Hyun-joon entered the dorm, he went straight to his room. I took off my gear, groped for the frame of the bed, grabbed the protruding part, and pulled it.
Hard!
A piece of wood fell off, revealing a small gap. This is the space that Hyeon-joon, who was annoyed by the bed that creaked and swayed every time he lay down, found it while checking the bed. I put my hand in there and pulled out a sack. A bag containing one silver coin and many copper coins. I poured the money I earned today into it, pushed it back into the gap, and inserted the wooden board well.
Then, sitting on the bed, he couldn’t hold back the emotion that rose up and spit it out.
“quest!”
[quest]
Collect 100 Karma. ( 106 / 100 )
Reward: Open shop.
to complete.

“hehehehe…”
Hyeon-jun tried to press finish with his hands shaking with excitement, but realized that he couldn’t touch them and focused on the letters.
Tring!
[quest]
Spend 1000 Karma in the shop. ( 0 / 1000 )
Reward: Shop enhancements.
When the quest was completed, the quest window immediately disappeared and a new quest appeared. There were no flashy effects or sounds, so steam leaked, but it’s important to complete it once. Hyeonjun immediately opened the status window. But the status window didn’t change.
‘How stupid! The store is open, so I have to open it!’
I was so excited that I couldn’t even turn my head. Hyeon-jun opened the store, trying to calm down.
“shop.”
[shop]
Karma: 106
Body Enhancement 1: 100
Combat Skills (Basic): 51
Mental Enhancement 1: 88
Mana Affinity 1: 1000
Hyeonjun gnashed his teeth to keep from screaming. The force of the chin went in and it popped out. After a moment of silent cheering, Hyeonjun looked at the shop window.
The list was shorter than I initially expected, but I was not disappointed. Didn’t they say that the reward for the next quest was to strengthen the store? Hyeonjun focused his consciousness on strengthening his body at the top.
Body Enhancement 1: Improving the overall functioning of the body.
A brief explanation. There was no further explanation, but Hyeon-jun was not disappointed and indulged in the list of stores. It is said that combat skills (basic) are the basic contents necessary for combat, and mental reinforcement improves thinking ability and memory, and increases resistance to mental attacks from the outside.
Most interesting is mana affinity. mana. Hyeon-jun knows that magic exists, but he has not actually seen it. Magic is a difficult and expensive discipline, and there are no wizards who work for the poor. According to stories I heard while working at a tavern, it is normal to live with the support of nobles and work for them.
In other words, magic becomes money. There is also a powerful force there. Can you buy it through the store? Hyeon-jun trembled, swollen from the dream.
“Whoa…”
After a while, the real Hyeonjun looked at the list again. Because there was a bit of a strange part.
‘It seems that the basic price is 100 karma. However, combat skills and mental enhancement are less than 100.’
It is expected that it reflects Hyun-jun’s actual ability. Since he has already learned basic combat skills by karma 49, he can live with 510,000. It would mean that 12 of the profits that can be obtained through the purchase of spirits have become stronger.
Thinking so, I laughed bitterly at the price of body enhancements being 100. I didn’t go to the gym, but I did some exercise at home, and it means that my body, which was trained by hard work, fell to the floor in two months.
Hyeonjun looked at Mana Affinity 1 and chose Body Enhancement 1. You can’t raise mana affinity anyway. The combat skills to kill goblins were enough for now. You have to kill enemies right away to build up karma, but you don’t need mental enhancement. Hyeonjun chose to focus on strengthening his body 1.
There were no visible changes like when the quest was completed. Only the body enhancement 1 turned gray, and subdivided items were listed below it. All of the following items cost 300 karma.
Hyeon-jun did not feel any change in his body. I got up to check if it was just karma decreasing and not changing.
“uh?”
And I was surprised. The bed frame was low, so I was half-squatted, but I got up very smoothly. There is no feeling of strength, it just feels like it just happened. It was only then that Hyeon-jun realized that his knee was badly damaged. It is because he did not hesitate to work hard and did not hesitate to say he was young.
Hyeonjun stood up and looked down at his body. There was no feeling of power. Instead, it feels very comfortable. It was only now that I realized what it means to let my body move as it wants. It is within your control right up to your fingertips. It gave me an unknown pleasure. In addition, the tortoise neck and inwardly rolled shoulders were comfortably returned to their original places. Now that I see it, my eyes are better.
“Sup, ha ha…”
Yes, it is easy to breathe. There is no nasty rhinitis that I have lived with all my life. My throat, which was clogged with phlegm from living in a dusty inn, is also comfortable.
“Mmm.”
I put on a pod and stretched it all the way. The soft, supple body stretched effortlessly. Hyunjoon took off his clothes and stood up. It’s still skinny, but unlike before, it’s a well-proportioned body. If before, she looked like a tree twisted from starvation, now she looked like a slim body completed with delicate exercise and diet.
“hahahaha···.”
I stood on one leg and slowly moved my arms and legs. With the flexibility and balance of a gymnast, he was able to move at a constant speed without shaking. I also tried kicking on my own.
Hiss!
His pliable body curled up like a whip, then straightened out in an instant, and his toes tore the air. I changed my feet and tried kicking randomly with the upper, middle, and lower ends. He hadn’t even learned taekwondo, which is often taught, but as soon as he moved his flexible and well-balanced body a few times, he immediately got a feel for it.
“ha ha ha!”
Hyeonjun stopped and laughed out loud. I was so happy I couldn’t stand it. I kicked for almost 3 minutes, but all I got was a little short of breath. You can be sure. Even if the previous three Hyeon-juns attacked at the same time, he would be able to fight comfortably and win.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Hyeonjun stretched out his arm and looked at the very beautiful arm that didn’t seem to belong to him. Each delicate muscle shape is as beautiful as a sculpture. Even his hand, which had minor scars, was completely healed. Hyunjoon raised his fingernails and scratched his arm.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
His sensitive senses clearly captured the feeling of scratching, but the skin did not turn red, let alone the pain.
‘The best! the best!’
An intense feeling of pleasure rushed through his head. Her body, which had been greatly damaged, became stronger as if she had transcended that of a human. I can’t contain the pleasure even if I move a little.
“ha ha ha!”
bang!
“Noisy madman!”
Hyeonjun giggled at the sound of knocking on the wall from the next room. It makes me smile, but there is still a long way to go. You can’t be satisfied and drunk with power and fall down.
‘First, goblin hunting tomorrow.’
Hyeon-jun put on his clothes and left the room, suppressing the laughter that kept leaking out. I could feel that I grew taller when I put on the clothes. Having a strong body made the desire for a strong body even greater.
‘I need to increase my food intake. I need to exercise too.’
Hyeonjun giggled and went down the stairs. The laughter didn’t stop.
