It’s a goblin.

I think that’s the image that people think of when they think of goblins.

The guys I saw in the fantasy world and the guys I see now don’t look any different.

Green skin, long nose, short stature.

It was a familiar and nostalgic appearance.

“Uh, what should I do?”

Jaehoon looked at me and asked.

And I said bluntly:

“What should I do? I have to kill him.”

My answer was so calm that the two people were taken aback.

“…let’s kill him? Wouldn’t it be better to wait until it disappears?”

Even Eunjeong said that.

I, too, was a little taken aback by that reaction.

In the original work, didn’t he attack the goblin first on Jaehoon’s behalf and defeat it in one go?

Maybe even in the original work, he thought in his heart that he didn’t want to fight.

However, he probably stepped forward first for the sake of timid Jaehoon.

[Castle: Jaehoon, childhood friend, praise]

It was also a castle wall where that feeling could be clearly felt.

Just looking at that castle wall, I felt that this quest was not easy.

“There are three goblins, and there are three of us. I won’t lose, no I can’t lose.”

As I spoke confidently, the two people also looked at the goblin and nodded.

I quickly took out the bat from the suitcase I had packed.

Of course, in my inventory was the jungle sword I had made while in the fantasy world, but the use of that weapon was limited to very dangerous times.

Because I didn’t want to draw too much attention from the constellations.

And for goblins, this bat was enough.

“…I go first.”

Jae-hoon and Eun-jeong, who were hesitating and taking deep breaths, felt stuffy, so I passed by them and moved forward.

Although they were both confused, they followed after me.

“Keruk?”

One of the goblins spotted me approaching and made a boiling noise.

I swung the bat without a moment of hesitation.

“No hit!”

puck.

The goblin died after being hit on the head by a bat with a rather cheerful sound.

It was different from the fantasy world.

The dead guy turned into powder and disappeared, leaving no body behind.

[Obtain 1 point.]

[You have killed the goblin for the first time.]

[Acquire an additional 10 points.]

I also earned points along the way.

It’s the first time, so you’re lucky.

This was a reward that Eun-jeong did not get even in the original work.

Anyway, what on earth came out of my mouth?

Now I couldn’t understand the words coming out of my mouth.

But strangely, I felt good.

I feel refreshed inside.

With his momentum, he almost killed the goblin next to him.

“Haha… Eunjeong, let’s try it too.”

“Yes.”

I wonder if my strange behavior actually relieved the tension between the two of us a little.

The two followed me and started fighting the goblins.

There was no fight.

What made goblins fearful was their numbers and the fact that they would attack by surprise.

In the current situation, if I were to fight one-on-one in a one-on-one fight, I could never lose.

In addition, the two received useful skills in battle as a reward through their performance during the tutorial.

Both of them defeated the goblin in one go.

It was a trivial victory.

However, both of them looked displeased due to the unpleasant taste of killing the goblin.

The first hunt was like that.

“Move. It becomes.”

When I urged them on, only then did the two come to their senses and enter the building.

As Jaehoon said it was his house, he stopped in front of the door on the second floor and opened the door with a familiar hand.

The inside of the house was not spacious.

I guessed it from the appearance, but it wasn’t big enough for 3 people to live in.

“… As expected, it is too good to use a base here…”

It was understandable that Jaehoon was anxious.

Since you were at a large shopping mall just now and then come to your own home, you might feel like it would be a shame to use the base right.

But this place wasn’t a bad place.

I used the base without hesitation.

Two people said to me, surprised by the sudden action.

” Are you using it now?”

“…You were supposed to give it to us.”

Jae-hoon was embarrassed and Eun-jeong was angry, but I raised both my hands and motioned for them to calm down.

There was a reason after all.

Only in this way could I provide information to the two people in earnest.

“Do you know the effects of a hub?”

“Yes? Aren’t we just creating a safe area from monsters?”

Yes, they received a base as a reward, but the person who received the information about the base could only guess.

Because there was no explanation.

Therefore, I remembered that it took quite a while in the original work for detailed information about the base to be revealed.

“That’s half true.”

Jaehoon’s guess wasn’t bad.

In fact, some parts were correct.

“Half?”

“Yes, the base blocks not only monsters, but also constellations. The constellation cannot interfere with the people at the base; they cannot see or hear.”

“…block the constellation? Why?”

Jaehoon asked back, saying that blocking the constellation would be a bad thing.

Although Eun-jung didn’t say it, she seemed to agree with Jae-hoon’s opinion.

Yes, it may feel that way now.

This is because the incarnations and constellations were not actively involved yet.

The constellations were basically all about supporting humans and sending messages, so it was easy to be seen as a good entity, but the reality was different.

Most constellations do not act on behalf of humans.

Even the Goddess of Justice, who maintains a good relationship with humans, does not place much importance on human life.

If one human being commits an unjust act, he will either order suicide or order another incarnation to kill him.

Even if it was a mistake or an unavoidable circumstance, there were no exceptions.

Because justice is more important to the Goddess of Justice than human life.

It was that kind of existence.

“Don’t believe in constellations.”

It was something I could say because I was at the base.

The two people nodded as if they were fascinated by the words spoken sincerely.

And as promised, I told him about the next mission.

“The next mission is to collect points for 24 hours.”

“If it’s a point, what did you get when you just killed the goblin…?”

“That’s right.”

That was the core of the next mission.

The mission will be announced two days later.

The mission was simple.

A simple mission where you just need to kill monsters and collect 10 points.

This was a mission that could have been cleared as soon as it started if the monsters had been hunted in advance.

However, those who hid together in crowded places for two days had to prepare for hardships.

Because you will have to compete with other people for monsters.

In addition, there was one more factor that accelerated competition.

“If you kill a person, the points the person had plus 1 point are taken.”

“…That means…”

I nodded.

You can steal points by killing people.

Even if you kill 10 people with no points, the mission is cleared.

“No way… who would do something like that.”

“Yes, that’s usually the case.”

No matter how chaotic the world was, it was the first mission.

No one was crazy enough to do something like that.

However, the crazy constellation did exist.

If you fail the mission, you die. That guy has 9 points. If you kill a few people, he will sponsor your skills.

Some constellations encouraged people to commit murder by spreading false information or making sweet temptations.

This was also the reason why the number of constellations increased from the first mission.

To see that provocative sight, to create it, and to block some constellations.

From the first mission, the Constellations will actively intervene.

Please note that there is actually no penalty for failing a mission.

However, if you start missing a few missions, you will no longer be able to become stronger due to the increasing difficulty of the missions, so you will be left behind.

And the world that has changed will be harsh for the weak.

anyway.

” That’s ridiculous, why would you do that…”

Jaehoon muttered in surprise after hearing what I said.

It’s useless.

You should not try to understand the constellations.

From the beginning, it was a being that humans could not understand.

“Then I guess I should kill the monster in advance.”

“As expected, our Eunjeong has good hair.”

“…Please refrain from saying “our Eunjeong”. Really.”

“…Yes.”

The tone was so serious that I unconsciously came out with a polite word.

I was just going to say yes and say it’s true.

Why did the words come out like this?

“And what both of you said here is a secret. To people and to constellations.”

After giving the two a final warning, we unpacked our bags and headed out.

To save points in advance.

In many ways, the goblins around here were unlucky.

Because while wandering around here, I came across a natural disaster.

Today, in just one day, we hunted over thirty goblins.

Originally, the two of them were going to hunt only 20 animals, or 20 points, to pass the next mission.

In order to save a woman who was being chased by a group of goblins, about ten more were hunted.

“Thank you for saving me!”

“…Ah fuck.”

“Yes?”

“…No.”

I cursed when I saw the woman I had unknowingly saved.

Why was he being chased by goblins?

Haven’t you signed a contract with that Constellation yet?

As the two people who dealt with the goblin approached, the woman ran happily into Jaehoon’s arms.

Jae-hoon was embarrassed, and Eun-jeong was openly annoyed and separated the two.

Those two people probably don’t know.

What they saved was one of the main villains who would commit mass murder in the future.
