Haunted

And I have all hope that she will again.

The real change will be after we merge regions.

Along with every other player, I'm standing in a grass field. The floating being explained this round's quest which is to pick a representative.

'I don't remember all the quests with details.. but I was never a representative.'

Repeating everything I did before I came back would be impossible. It took almost two years to reach the 20th round. I don't know what happened exactly in the first rounds.

But I can't just wait and do nothing.

They can figure it out who will be the representative, my opinion won't make a big difference anyways.

I take a look around and head into the forest as everyone starts to discuss the matter at hand. There's no way there wouldn't be danger lurking around.

And I was right.

The goblins charge at me with their dull weapons, I hold my hand out, shooting my spell, Veldrath, at them. Thin concentrated mana beams blasting their head off.

- You have defeated a [Hobgoblin]! -

- Current kill count [1/100]. Triple buff EXP is in effect. -

- You have leveled up! -

'Hum,,, If I keep this going, I'll reach level 10 soon...'

I summon my spear out of my inventory, and charge at the running goblins in order to gain more exp.

- Current kill count [2/100] -

- You have leveled up! -

- Current kill count [24/100] -

- You have leveled up! -

- Current kill count [32/100] -

- You have leveled up! -

A sigh leaves my lips as I pull out the tip of my spear out of a goblin's skull.

I don't remember the details, but I remember the fear.

The fear of danger, the fear of death, the fear of the unknown.

I remember trembling like crazy, my hands as unstable as my mind.

It wasn't real, I tried to tell myself that over and over again.

It was just a nightmare.

But the warm blood on my hands is real.

'I wonder...', I look up to the vibrant blue sky.

'Are these monsters from another world... Real..? Are they trying to survive like us?'

'Were they put in this death sentence without anything to say too?'

'If so.. aren't we monsters too then?'

My footsteps are muffled by the grass underneath as I walk.

'It could all be not real too, and I'm just overthinking things.'

To my side, I see another goblin ready to charge at me. Wickedly grinning.

'A look like that could hardly be one of a being with sympathy and individuality. But humans can look the same as that.'

I shake my head and stab the goblin when it reaches me.

"This damned mind of mine. Thinking too much..."
